Physical Server Clustered Migration to Virtual Machine

Dear All,
We got an request from SQL server running on physical server migrate to virtual machine.
Please advice me the procedure and checklist for this migration request.
Thanks.

Hi mailatdinesh,
If you want to run SQL Server in a virtual machine (VM), here are some of the essential tips for virtualizing SQL Server.
1. To support bare metal virtualization platforms, you need to make sure that the host uses a 64-bit x64 processor; In addition, for a resource-intensive workload like SQL Server, it's vital that the host processor supports Second Level Address Translation.
2. SQL Server can automatically take advantage of multiple CPUs if they're present. If you're migrating from a physical SQL Server implementation to a virtualized SQL Server implementation, you can use the number of CPUs in the physical implementation as
a guide for the number of virtual CPUs that you'll configure in the SQL Server VM.
3. In order for SQL Server to take advantage of dynamic memory, I recommend you to use the Enterprise edition of SQL Server 2008 or later or using the Datacenter edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2008.
For more information , see:
http://sqlmag.com/sql-server/sql-server-virtualization-tips
When you migrate one instance from one server to another, as other post, you can use backup and restore, the sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db stored procedures, or 
the Import and Export Data Wizard to copy objects and data between SQL Server databases, you also need to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server, move jobs, alerts and operators. For more information, you can refer to the following
article,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314546
There is also similar issue about moving SQL Server to VM, you can refer to the following post.

  • Error 10698 Virtual machine could not be live migrated to virtual machine host

    Hi all,
    I am running a fail over cluster of

    managed by VMM:
    VMM 2008 R2
    Virtual Host:

    I have attempted a live migration through VMM 2008 R2 and im presented withe the following error:
    Error (10698)
    Virtual machine XXXXX could not be live migrated to virtual machine host xxx-Host01 using this cluster configuration.
     (Unspecified error (0x80004005))
    What i have found when running the cluster validation:
    1 out of the 2 hosts have an error with RPC related to network configuration:
    An error occurred while executing the test.
    Failed to connect to the service manager on 'xxx-Host02'.
    The RPC server is unavailable
    However there are no errors or events on host02 that are showing any probelms at all.
    In fact the validation report goes on to showing the rest of the configuration information of both cluster hosts as ok.

  • Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

    Hi everyone,
    I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
    on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
    So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
    individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
    Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform.  Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
    before starting the VM.

    Hi Tim,
    thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
    The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
    How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
    2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
    8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
    when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
    Thanks again for your reply.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

  • How well will Windows Server run in a virtual machine on OS X Server?

    Does anyone have any experience running any of the flavors of Windows Server in a virtual box (either Parallels or VMware) on OS X Server?
    I'm looking at setting up a new server. There are a couple of things for which windows is required. I could set up a separate windows box for these, but I'm wondering if it's feasible to set up Windows Server in a virtual box, and solve my problem that way?
    The first requirement is to run an Intuit service for running Quickbooks in a network configuration
    The second is a small SQL Server database. My plan is to migrate this to MySql eventually, but that is lower on the priority list.

    Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
    https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
    Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :

  • How to install bo xi 3.1 on windows server 2008 r2 sp1 (virtual machine )

    HI GUYS --
    operating system: I am trying to install Business Objects into a virtual  computer which has a windows server 2008 R2 SP1 operating system. I installed version BO XI 3.1 and I also installed Service pack 3 and Service pack 4. I installed liveoffice usual way. Whenever I try to design  xcelsius and dashboard, I got some errors. In order to fix these errors, I followed SAP notes step by step. However, It didnt help me at all. I also tried to install by looking at install guide and supported platform documents, but I get an error each time of doing that. I can write each error over here. I also opened a link over here. Check out the link please to see the errors how to display webi docs. in liveoffice?
    My main question is this.
    Are there anybody who works operating system windows server 2008 R2 SP1 and this installed into the virtual machine? If so, Is it worked by doing which installations exactly?
    Note; Business Objects tools work very well (infoview, cmc, web intelligencei and the others work  without problems at QAAWS BO XI 3.1, but they have been given cluster error at BO XI 3.1 SP3) . In addition, port server settings have been installed based on the installion guide. If you give me any information other than whatever I said, I appreciate that. I also point out something. If I dont get any message which I attached a sample when I try to operate life office. In this situation I cant see either my documets or web documents in infoview)

    Hi SYaGCi,
    Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
    "Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. The SP3 patch only release of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise does not provide support for these two new platforms."

  • Blade server is start but virtual machine is not started

    i have a oracle virtual machine on blade server if any outage or planned activity is done the blade server is started automatically but virtual machines is not started
    manually start the virtual machines any suggestions kindly share me.

    Hi user,
    As long as youhave access to the linux sever from your windows server, you're good to go. Open your admin tool, go to File --> Open --> Offline.
    The Open window pops up. On the "File Name" field, enter the path of rpd file in the linux server (Ex: \\Server_Name\local\MyRpd.rpd). Select the file, and voilà!
    I hope this helps.

  • OSX Leopard Server as Parallels/VMWare Virtual Machine in Snow Leopard?

    I'm considering buying OSX Server to use as a virtual machine for testing purposes -- so I can run two different OSX versions at the same time on the same computer. Some questions for anyone who's done this:
    1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
    2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
    3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
    4. Will this be forwards compatible:
      A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
      B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now that may have something different in its firmware -- it certainly wouldn't support Leopard for a native install (this gets back to the OSX Server VM on PC question; I'm concerned about Apple needing to "support" the VM on my hardware for it to work)
    5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
    6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
    Thanks!

    1. Is it working flawlessly (Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion)
    Yes - at least as much as any VM solution does
    2. Is it officially supported by Apple or only tolerated currently
    Yes, but only for Mac OS X Server 10.5
    3. If this works technically on a Mac, I'm wondering what Apple is doing to block it from working in VMWare on a PC
    There's a slew of technologies at work to ensure that Mac OS X runs on Apple hardware only. That's a whole different discussion. Suffice to say that it doesn't work.
    4. Will this be forwards compatible:
    As much as anything is...
    A. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on my current (Leopard-era) Mac once I upgrade that to Snow Leopard (this is my main point currently)
    Sure. Of course, this may require an update from the VM vendor to run under Snow Leopard, but you won't know that until closer to Snow Leopard's release.
    B. will I be able to run my Leopard Server VM on some new Mac I buy 3 years from now
    Hahahaha. No one is going to guarantee you three years of future compatibility on anything you buy today.
    5. Is Leopard the first OSX Server that can be virtualized (without hacking)
    Yes.
    6. In general is OSX Leopard Server "the same" OS as the normal Leopard version, configured with some admin-friendly features, or distinct enough it wouldn't be fully reliable for testing purposes?
    There are some underlying tweaks around things like network management (servers tend to have different networking needs from clients), and several extra processes that aren't in Mac OS X (client), but the underlying code base is the same. As to whether it's 'reliable for testing purposes', that depends on what it is you're testing

  • Flash media server 3 on VMWare virtual machine

    Do any one know can a FMS 3 run smoothly on a vmware virtual
    machine? if yes, is there any requirement need to be aware? thanks
    for any adivse.

    Rather than VMWare you may want to consider a operating
    system-level virtualization. I recommend OpenVZ. This has excellent
    native speed performance for the guest OS. I have This system with
    the host and guests all CentOS4.5, running variously FMS2, FMS3,
    Red5 etc in the guests. Its super easy to start, stop, clone,
    distroy the guests. the guests can be firewalled from the host. You
    can set guaranteed min and max memory allocations for the guests.
    You can run Linux distros as guests that differ from the
    host, but you can't run non-linux guests, unlike in VMWare.
    Also, the default resource allocations for the newly created
    OpenVZ guests are insufficient to run FMS in, so the config file
    for the guest needs to be changed.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM Virtual Machine Installs

    My company purchased and OEM server license instead of an open license. Since the seal was broken already on the packaging we cannot return it. I have read several articles online and I wanted to ask Tech  Net ensure I didn't miss something.
    What I want to know is OEM Server OS in compliance when installed as VM's?
    The license package says two 2 CPU/2 VM, does this mean I have two seats available for VM's?
    According to OEM license, OEM VM's will live and die on the same machine, correct? Meaning, non-transferable. 
    Why I am asking these questions is because our hosting provider is telling us it must be purchased with a machine and cannot be used in that manner I want. Also, I really don't want to throw away money like that.

    Windows Server licenses are assigned to the physical hardware.  Windows Server licenses grant you specific rights.  One of the rights bestowed with the purchase of a Windows Server Standard license is the right to run up to two virtual operating
    system environments on which Windows Server is installed.  If one of the VMs is moved to a different host system, that new host system must be licensed to run the number of virtual instances then running on the new host.
    I'm still not sure how you purchased an OEM license without hardware.  That is the way Microsoft sells those licenses.  If you did not purchase this from a Microsoft authorized OEM, I would be very cautious as to whether or not you have a valid
    distribution/license.
    That said, an OEM Windows Server license is assigned to a specific server.  This differs from other licenses, like Open or Volume or Retail which grant the right to move from one server to another once every 90 days.  OEM licenses can't move from
    one server to another.  Additional contracts with Microsoft allow for some level of movement, but the OEM license itself does not grant that right.
    Once the OEM license is assigned (this is a paper transaction, i.e. there is no 'installation' of the license) that machine then has the rights granted by that license.  In the case of Windows Server Standard, the virtualization rights are for two concurrently
    running Windows Server VMs as long as you are not running services on the host not related to management of the virtual environment.
    When it comes to licensing, it is always best to talk with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist.  Your OEM should be able to explain this to you, but if he is selling licenses without hardware, I might look a little askance at his business practices. 
    Remember that a license is a legal agreement between you and Microsoft.  Depending upon technical forums for legal advice is not something your lawyers would recommend.
    And, the fact that you have a hosting environment means that you might even be better served by a different licensing model.  Microsoft has different licensing programs for different usage.

    Hi ,
    I tried a Exchange 2007 SP3 install (over Windows 2008 R2 too) with the same error code message: "Error code
    3221685951. Remote procedure call"
    It occurs to me:
    1-The Schema master is in another site.
    2-There are two ISA Servers in between but I shut down the feature "Strict RPC compliance."
    Beyond that, I really don't know what to do.

  • Migration of virtual machines between two hosts

    Hi all,
    I have SCVMM 2012 R2 installed & configured. I have added two host server. My target is to migrate all VM's from first server to the second one.
    There is a storage server which is added on both the host under as ISCSI array option :-
    but i am not getting disk in Disk management. do i have to do something else.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Pranay.

    Hi Pranay,
    >>There is a storage server which is added on both the host under as ISCSI array option :-
    Do you mean the two hosts are connecting same ISCSI target of the storage server ?
    Based on my understanding , shared storage is used for cluster .
    Could you please tell us where the VMs is stored ?
    Best Regards,
    Elton Ji

  • Can Virtual Machin system make negative impact to the database performance?

    Can Virtual Machin system make negative impact to the database performance?
    I want to make a virtual machine system in my server and then install Oracle 10g database on the virtual machine system. But I am not sure if Virtual Machin system can make any negative impact to the database performance.
    Thank you

    The virtual machine software vendor must have certified and provided some performance figures like running Oracle on our VM would have a performance hit of n%. VMWare has such a figure published (8% if I recall correctly).
    Besides, the load on physical server, apart from the virtual machine running, would also have the impact on performance.
    Other factors would be
    1. how quickly the host OS can cater to the guest OS with the RAM requirements (it would be good if you could pre-allocate RAM to VM)
    2. with the assumption that you will be running an OS within OS, files on host OS forming the VM, should be pre-allocated in terms of space, avoiding runtime extentions.

  • Server 2012 cluster - virtual machine live migration does not work

    Hi,
    We have a hyper-v cluster with two nodes running Windows Server 2012. All the configurations are identical.
    When I try to make a Live migration from one node to the other I get an error message saying:
    Live migration of 'Virtual Machine XXXXXX' failed.
    I get no other error messages, not even in event viewer. This same happens with all of our virtual machines.
    A normal Quick migration works just fine for all of the virtual machines, so network configuration should not be an issue.
    The above error message does not provide much information.

    Hi,
    Please check whether your configuration meet live migration requirement:
    Two (or more) servers running Hyper-V that:
    Support hardware virtualization.
    Yes they support virtualization. 
    Are using processors from the same manufacturer (for example, all AMD or all Intel).
    Both Servers are identical and brand new Fujitsu-Siemens RX300S7 with the same kind of processor (Xeon E5-2620).
    Belong to either the same Active Directory domain, or to domains that trust each other.
    Both nodes are in the same domain.
    Virtual machines must be configured to use virtual hard disks or virtual Fibre Channel disks (no physical disks).
    All of the vitual machines have virtual hard disks.
    Use of a private network is recommended for live migration network traffic.
    Have tried this, but does not help.
    Requirements for live migration in a cluster:
    Windows Failover Clustering is enabled and configured.
    Yes
    Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) storage in the cluster is enabled.
    Yes
    Requirements for live migration using shared storage:
    All files that comprise a virtual machine (for example, virtual hard disks, snapshots, and configuration) are stored on an SMB share. They are all on the same CSV
    Permissions on the SMB share have been configured to grant access to the computer accounts of all servers running Hyper-V.
    Requirements for live migration with no shared infrastructure:
    No extra requirements exist.
    Also please refer to this article to check whether you have finished all preparation works for live migration:
