P2V Migration of OES11 SP2 to vmware

hi,
i am looking for a way to migrate a physical OES11SP2 P2V. To the target Platform vmware.
the vmware converter knocks me out on the NSS Volumes which he simply doesn´t see.
As there is no more coldcloneCD (the last one i have is 4.03) it seems like i am stuck with vmware converter.
do i oversee something?
I am thinking about the transferID method but that would be much more to do´s and stepstones than a simple *imaging*
any idea would be appreciated..
kind regards

Hi Gertfried,
what's the problem with the Coldclone-CD? I p2v-ed old Netware 6.5 HP-Proliants G4 with this
CD into ESXi 5.1. Linux shold be much easier. The ColdClone CD runs with Windows. So it has no clue what filsystem ist transfers to the ESXi. Its just copying blocks.
If the Coldclone-CD can't detect your drives .. drop me a line.
Merry christmas... :-)

OES11 SP2 - Linux File System and NSS Pools & Volumes

Planning to install our first OES11 SP2 server into an existing tree - the
idea is to run this new OES11 server virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5
The existing tree has two physical NW6.5SP8 servers running eDirectory
Version 8.7.3.10b (NDS Version 10554.64). One of the existing Netware
servers is used for DHCP/DNS, File Sharing from three NSS volumes and
Groupwise 7.0.4 whilst the second server is used for FTP services and
eDirectory redundancy. Ultimately the plan is to have two virtualized OES11
SP2 server with one for file sharing and the other for making the move from
GW7 to GW2012. And we're planning to stick with NSS for file sharing on the
new OES11 SP2 server.
I've come across a couple of posts for earlier versions of OES which
recommended not to put the Linux Native OS File System and NSS storage
pools/volumes on the same hard drive. Apparently the advice was a result of
needing to allow EVMS to manage the drive which could be problemmatic.
I've read the OES11 documentation which says that "The Enterprise Volume
Management System (EVMS) has been deprecated in SLES 11, and is also
deprecated in OES 11. Novell Linux Volume Manager (NLVM) replaces EVMS for
managing NetWare partitions under Novell Storage Services (NSS) pools."
So I'm wondering if there is still a compelling requirement to keep the
Linux Native File System and NSS pools/volumes on separate hard drives or
can they both now safely co-exist on the same drive without causing
headaches or gotchas for the future?
Neil

Hi Willem,
Many thanks for the further reply.
So we can just use the VMWare setup to "split" the one physical drive into
two virtual drives (one for the OS and the second for the pools).
And I've seen posts in other forums about the need for a decent battery
backed cache module for the P410i controller so I'll make sure we get one
(probably 512Mb module + battery).
Can I ask what is the advantage of configuring each VM's virtual disk to run
on it's own virtual SCSI adapter (by setting disk1 to scsi 0:0, disk2 to
scsi 1:0, and so on)?
Cheers,
Neil

Cross forest migration Exchange 2010 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP2

Hi,
We are planning cross forest migration Exchange 2010 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP2.
Requesting you to please help us out for below scenario.
Source Exchange 2010 SP2:- abc.com
2AD, 2CAS & 2 MBX servers
Database:- 4
Total Users :- 3500
Accepted Domains :- 8
Total Data:- 5TB +
Target Exchange 2010 SP2:- xyz.com
Resource allocated same as above.
Now we have to migrate users along with data to target forest xyz.com keeping both setup live, as moving 5TB + data will be a ongoing process and the same will take some time.
With the guidelines mentioned in
http://careexchange.in/cross-forest-migration-guide-exchange-2010-to-exchange-2010/#comment-14203 we are able to migrate test users along with data, but after migration the migrated user is not able to connect through MS Outlook even not able to login into
OWA. It gives error “The Outlook Web App address
https://mail.abc.com/owa is out of date.”
Kindly let us know how to solve this issue.
Kindly let me know if you want any more information from our end.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards, Shashank Kudi

Hi Shashank,
Do you have certificates properly installed and configured in the target Exchange?
If not, Please configure certificate and import the certificate to the trusted root CA if you are using internal CA cert.
Thanks, MAS
Please mark as helpful if you find my comment helpful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

OES11 SP2: Ganglia did stop updating

On one of my OES11 SP2 servers novell-ganglia does not update the RRD
databases any more. The web interface does run fine, but only old data
is available. gmond and gemetad are both up and running. A restart of
these services did not fix the issue.
The configuration is identical to that of other servers where the tool
is just running fine. So I'm a bit lost on where to look for the error.

Thanks everyone,
Has anyone confirmed that this is the issue by simply renaming the first folder that unzips with a non-8.3 name? The rest seem to conform upon quick inspection? I jut completed my install by manually installing each of the different updated agents using the GUI, etc. The automatic update failed with the python error. Certainly would be nerve racking for someone less experienced. Something that I know we all want to avoid so that GroupWise is easier for new administrators to adopt.

Online P2V Migration using SCVMM 2012 SP1 , -Lose data

Hi,
in case the online P2V Migration scvmm 2012 take about 1 hour to complete
do we lose any changes on the live server during this hour ??
Ramy

Hi Ramy,
>>do we lose any changes on the live server during this hour ??
" Offline P2V is the most reliable way to ensure data consistency because it creates an exact copy of the source computer while it is not in use. "
I didn't see any data sync after create VSS shadow copy from the process of P2V within following article :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc764232.aspx
So, in your case you will lose 1 hour data after creating vss shadow copy while using online P2V .

Dear team,
Please let us know, How we can take license for OES11-SP2-addon_with_SLES11-SP3-x86_64-DVD.iso.
As we have downloaded this 4GB image and starting installation, can we active license for OES11-SP2-addon_with_SLES11-SP3-x86_64-DVD.iso later on.
When we should activate license (before 2 months of installation of OES11-SP2-addon_with_SLES11-SP3-x86_64-DVD.iso)
We want DSFW services for Novell edirectory, how we can achieve please suggest us.
We want technical chat support immediately to understand the infra and novell tools to utilize in it.
Please help.

Hi,
From what I understand here ... you don't have license contract with Novell right now isn't ? We need to contact a Novell Partner in your area to get Novell licenses.
Where are you based?

Upgrading OES 11SP1 to OES11 SP2 problems

Trying to upgrade a OES11-SP1 Server OES11-SP2
but run into problems at Final stage of eDirectory Upgrade
Server is looking for OLD Master replica - which no longer exists
History
Some month ago due to server crashes I added a Server (this time as a Virtual Server)
Copied Data includin GW system
Ran NDSREPAIR to make this the Master Replica (old server now disregarded)
deleted OLD CA and recreated CA on the new server
reconfigured GW etc
(single Server - no external replicas - this server)
Everything running fine for some months
Now needed to upgrade to OES11 SP2 and at final stage ie. when upgrading edirectory its looking for OLD IP
only option is ABORT - so my upgraded did not finish
I'm doing this as a Physical Media upgrade as per OES Manual
I went back to my BACKUP of the VM
I made sure /etc/sysconfig/edir_oes11_sp1 file had the correct IP
I went into YaST > OES Configuration and made sure there is NO mention of OLD IP in any of them LDAP, eDirectory, CIFS etc
are there any other config files I need to check??
Any pointers much appreciated.

not sure if this is too late to help - we ran into something similar a
while back. The wrong ip address it was looking for was in a file
/etc/sysconfig/novell/edir2_oes11
after changing the ip address in that file we were able to complete the

SLES sp3 w/OES11 sp2 media upgrade reboot to cursor

Pre-upgrade
Sles 11 SP2, OES11 SP1, VMware 5.1 essentials on an Gen 8 HP Proliant DL380, plenty of RAM and CPU
I ran the upgrade media on a test server and everything seemed to go fine a couple of weeks ago. My school district is on spring break, so I decided to do some upgrades. I ran the update media on our one and only file storage production server. I left the upgrade options default, only updating existing packages (I checked to make sure what we are using was upgraded) and I received no errors during the install. Upon reboot, after the VMware splash screen, it just stays at a cursor in the upper left corner of the screen. I tried to use system repair from the disk. It wanted to reinstall grub, but it hung on installing grub for 20+ minutes. I'm rerunning the repair now. Any other suggestions? I have until Monday to get this fixed. I'm avoiding using my prepaid support hours, but I have them if I need them.

So you originally did an offline upgrade from OES11sp1 to OES11sp2, right?
I'm curious.... do you maybe have a separate partition for /boot?
With what you are saying I can imagine something going wrong with the offline upgrade placing/upgrading boot files in the wrong location (in the /boot folder of the root partition instead of the boot partition), resulting in booting with an old kernel and thus having a mismatch with other files/drivers/libraries that did get updated properly.
Good to hear that you were able to finish the upgrade in good order after having gotten the server boot fixed!

OES2.3 to OES11.1 on VMware

Greetings,
We are about to start our journey on migrating our OES2.3 servers to
OES11.1 using the Transfer ID. We have used this process before many
times for migrations and my question is not really about that process,
but more on the planning for roll back in case something goes wrong
during the Transfer ID.
According to the documentation, it is advised to perform an eDir backup
prior to start. Since both our source and target servers are on VMware,
we were discussing shutting down both source and target to get a cold VM
snapshot prior to the Transfer ID process.
Since I have never rolled back a server from a VM snapshot before with
eDirectory, could this introduce issues into our eDirectory environment?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, absolutely. The transfer ID activity at all stages makes extensive
eDirectory changes that cannot be simply undone by going back in time on
just one server. You introduce a new (temporary) server into the tree,
remove it again, and make quite a few changes to eDir when the OES2 gets
updated to OES11, e.g around the proxy users for the server.
Nothing here is a full showstopper, but it takes a lot of planning and
extensive in-depth knowledge to backout of a transfer ID either way.

P2V migration to Cisco Blade servers - USB required

Hi,
I need to migrate a physical server to cisco Blade B230 M2 server.
I will be using VMware converter to P2V the physical machine.
A software installed on the physical sever requires a USB dongle to startup.
Is it possible to convert this machine?
Does Cisco B230 M2 server have any internal USB? (I heard that some other providers have internal USB on their blades)
is there any alternative?
Thanks again for your help

Hello
I have not tested it but did you try using the USB ports in the KVM dongle cable ?
Please refer to page 22 in the server spec sheet for KVM cable
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/ps10265/ps10280/spec_sheet_c17-665957.pdf
I am not sure about internal USB port for B230 blade.

Migration; Exchange 2003 SP2 to Exchange 2013 on new Domain and DC

I wasn't prepared for this task, and it was thrown at me to do... Eyes are bleeding from planning reading and planning, would LOVE any input from you guys. First time posting, here and have heard great things about these forums. The Company
I work for obtained a new client and a network that is in a cluster at the moment, so I'm having to dig through everything and restructure..
Scenario:
Old Domain/Server: (To be decommissioned)
Server 2003 Standard SP2 (Domain: cosco.com; NETBIOS name: coscoex)
Exchange 2003 SP2 (6.5.7638.1)
Server is a domain controller and exchange server.
Migrating to:
Server 2012 R2 Datacenter (New Domain ad.cosco.com; NETBIOS name: cosco)
VM #1: Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller at 2012 R2 Functionality
VM #2: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2013 Standard (Not Yet Installed) Joined to ad.cosco.com domain
VM #3: Server 2012 R2 with Exchange 2010 (Not Yet Installed) joined to ad.cosco.com domain
These are probably not ideal conditions, but I have to work with what I'm given.
Host server (2012 R2) is in work group mode. Hyper V Installed with a VM of Server 2012 R2 and as a DC at a functionality level of Server 2012 R2. I had intended starting at a lower functionality level and raising
it later, but.... ya I forgot to change it. If needed I can spool up a new DC with a lower functional level.
DNS, AD and group policy is all jacked up on the 2003 DC so that doesn't matter, All user accounts are going to be created under the new domain. The concern is migrating the mailboxes from Exchange 2003 on the old domain to
Exchange 2013 on the new domain. The client is going to provide CSV of the AD accounts that are still valid (a lot of accounts are no longer used or are from people that no longer with the organization.)
I had some ideas, but I'm not sure if they will work. This is something I have never done before (Senior Engineer Quit).
My thoughts:
- Establish a two way trust relationship between the two domains.
- Create two VM's, one with Exchange 2010 and one with Exchange 2013 (They have a 2010 licence that was not used).
- Create the users on the new domain
- Use the double hop method from Exchange 2003 > Exchange 2010 > Exchange 2013
- Link Exchange accounts to the correct user accounts on the new DC.
Can this be done cleanly? Am I going about this the correct way? Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
Note: We are forced to use ad.cosco.com (Obviously not the actual domain name)

Hi,
Base on my experience, your idea is feasible.
However, before getting started, you should note that Exchange 2010 (with any service pack or update rollups) is not (yet) supported to install on Windows 2012 R2. More details refer to the following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
After all the preparations complete, you can refer to the following articles to migration exchange 2003 to 2010, then to 2013:

4. Backup the report server databases from the existing old database server. (server 3) (our SSRS web server and SSRS report server databases are in different servers)
5. Created the RSExecRole and grantd all the permissions according to the documentation in the sql server 2014 database server (server 4)
6. Restore the databases to the new database server that is in sql server 2014. (server 4)
7. Go to server 2 to configure the reporting service using the configuration Manager
I successfully pointed to new databases, but when test the url, I got the error: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid or it can not be read. The found version is '143' and the expected version
is '162'
I worked with Microsoft technician, and he said I have to upgrade my old SSRS from 2005 SP2 to 2005 SP4 first then do the migration.   But I saw some article saying that I can migrate the SSRS from 2005 SP2 to SSRS 2014.   Any help is
very much appreciated.

Thank you Katherine for your reply! I was able to bring up the reports in my new Report web server when I restore the RS databases onto a sql server 2008 server. I got the version conflict error when I restore the databases directly onto a sql
server 2014 server. Our goal is migrating the SSRS 2005 SP2 to SSRS 2014 with databases in sql server 2014. Therefore, I will have to migrate the SSRS 2005 to 2014 but host the Reporting server databases in sql server 2008 R2 first, then
upgrade Reporting Server databases to sql Sql server 2014.
Below steps are what I have done so far to migrate the SSRS from 2005 to 2014:
1. install sql server 2014 on a new server (RS server 2- SSRS 2014)
2. backup up config files, encryption key, application files in old reporting server(RS server 1 - SSRS 2005 SP2)
3. backup the reporting server databases from old database server  (in sql server 2005 sp4) (RS databases server 1)
4. Move config files and encryption key backup files to new RS server 2.
5. Move databases backup files to another server (in Sql server 2008 R2 (RS databases server 2)
6. Restore the backup files to (RS databases server 2)
7. Configure the Reporting services in new server (RS server 2 - SSRS 2014)
    a. configure URL
    b. change databases connection
    c. Restore the encryption key
8. Check the reports.
Now, I am able to see all the reports in my new web server(SSRS 2014) and the databases are in the server that is in SQL Server 2008 R2 version.
My collegue will upgrade the database server 2 including the report server databases and some other databases (currently in sql server 2008 R2 version with some other databases).
1. When she upgrades the database server 2 from sql server 2008 R2 to sql server 2014, do I need to do anything on the new reporting service web server?
2. I was thinking about that I will need to do the RS databases backup and encryption key backup before my colleuge do the sql server 2014 upgrade, and after she finish the upgrade, I will then go to new SSRS web server to do the reporting
service configuration using the configuration manager tool. I will do the database set up and restore the encryption key.  Am I right?
Any comment and suggestion will be great appriciated! Have a nice day!

Tomcat running high utilization on OES11 SP2

I have Groupwise 2014 with webaccess and calendar publishing host installed on the same OES 11 SP2 in virtual environment. Tomcat is slowly eating up available CPUs until the system becomes unstable. Rcnovell-tomcat6 restart will temporarily clear the problem. The problem is described in TID 7010072 however, the document specifically says that the fix is not for OES11. Does anyone know how to address this on OES11?

Firstly I'm not aware of an equivalent TID specific to OES11 so I'll ask
my Novell contacts.
OES11 uses novell-tomcat6 rather than tomcat6 as used with SLES11 with
configuration file at /etc/opt/novell/tomcat6/conf/novell-tomcat6.conf
so in the meantime perhaps make the same change as noted in TID 7010072
for SLES11 to the OES11 file.
Note there is more than one line (re)defining CATALINA_OPTS so I'd be
tempted to add the following line below the last CATALINA_OPTS line:
CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Xthr:minimizeUserCPU -Xms800m -Xmx900m"
Restart the OES11 tomcat process via "rcnovell-tomcat6 restart".
HTH.

We are experiencing the same issue on our OES GroupWise 2014 server. Restarting novell-tomcat6 fixes temporarily, but always returns. Anyone find anything further with this? Just downloaded (1/12/15) and installed latest available hotpatches for GW2014 and SLES/OES, but did not resolve issue.

Patch version for Migration EP6.0 SP2 - NetWeaver '04 SR1

Hi,
I'm preparing a migration of EP 6.0 SP2 patch 29 hf1 to EP6 SPS09 SR1.
Is this possible?
I'm only finding that the minimal version must be EP6.0 SP2 patch5 hotfix 4 in note 732458
With kind regards,
Martijn Tielen

Hi Martijn,
I need to do the same thing: migrate mi EP 6.0 sp2 to sp12.
How did you do this ? migrate applying patches, special order?, migrate with a separate installation ?
Thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it !
Regards from Mexico,
Diego
