Physical - Virtual combination

Hello,
We want to implement an Always On solution with a primary Physical server and a secondary Virtual server.
2 questions:
1. Is this supported? I don't see why this wouldn't work but I haven't found any white paper which tells me this will work.
2. What does Microsoft say about Virtual SQL servers compared to Physical servers. In almost all blogs I read Physical > Virtual because of performance issues but has this been confirmed by Microsoft somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Deploying Always On Availability Groups requires a Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster. If you had successfully configure a WSFC with the physical server and virtual server, you can install SQL Server 2012 on each node and enable AlwaysOn Availability
Groups faeature on the instances. And then you can configure the AlwaysOn.
As for the secondary question, I suggest you ask the question in the
Windows Server forum. The Windows experts will assist you.

SQL query to list all collections, members, OS, SP, IP and if physical/virtual

Hi guys, I have the below query which lists all the collections and their members, however I need to expand it to also include the OS, Service Pack, IP and if it's a physical or virtual machine.
I've tried a few things but only made it worse. Is anyone able to expand the below code to include those extras??
SELECT
v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID AS 'CollID',
v_Collection.Name AS 'CollName',
v_FullCollectionMembership.Name AS 'SystemName'
FROM
v_FullCollectionMembership, v_Collection
WHERE v_FullCollectionMembership.CollectionID = v_Collection.CollectionID
ORDER BY
CollID ASC, SystemName ASC

Hi,
These requirements could be found in several threads or blogs. We need convert WQL to SQL, and you can involve SQL guys to integrate the statements and format the result.

Multiple virtual webservers with same files

Hello friends... I need some help to design my enviroment.
I have here, 12 webservers which have independent files. My intent is use the same files for all of them and use shared configuration from iis.
They are all virtual servers runing on hyper-v 2008 r2. How can i use the same files for those servers? I was thinking on network share but I dont know if its the best way to do this.
tried to use a passthrough disk on them but didnt work as i spected... theres any way to one server have write permission and the others just read and when other need to write something, the permission change from one to another?
Im kinda lost here...

"how can i use a unique disk to multiple servers access data as webserver?"
The answer is in the article referenced by Aidan. You set up a file share. The beauty of a file share is that it can also be served out by a cluster, meaning that the data is highly available. If you just try to share a single physical/virtual
disk, if anything happens to that, all web servers go down.

Virtual Hosts for Load Balancing

Hi all,
So I have two identical servers, that have SOA Suite installed pointing to the same database. (RHEL 4) I have configured the mod_oc4j.conf file for round robin, and then I created a virtual host on the httpd.conf file to point to the load balance hardware.
It worked! But with a slight issue. The Load Balance server is orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777, which opens the main Application Server page. However, when I click on BPEL console, or ESB, it continues using the orasoaqa.tmpw.net:7777 virtual, which of course, breaks even trying to login.
What am I missing here? Here's the entry I added to mod_oc4j.conf:
Oc4jSelectMethod roundrobin:local
Here's the entry I added to the httpd.conf on server 1:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp101.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
and on server 2:
Port 7777
Listen 7777
NameVirtualHost XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:7777
<VirtualHost orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net:7777>
ServerName orasoaqa.tmpw.net
ServerAlias orasoaqaapp102.ma.tmpw.net
Port 7777
</VirtualHost>
Yes, the port for Application Server and the port on the Load Balancer are exactly the same, I hope this isn't the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Seeing that you have an external load balancer available, you really should not be trying software load balancing. Windows NLBS is a software based load balancing and is not really dependent on the physical/virtual hosting of the OS. There are certain gotchas
w.r.t the NLB modes since they depend on network protocols such as arp, propagation of MAC addresses and usage of the MAC in the L2 routing tables of network devices.
You should be taking the help of the cloud service provider as ONLY they would have an understanding of their underlying networking infrastructure such as VLANS. addressing, routing rules and such.
You could also refer to the VMware support forum for KB's such as
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1006580
Most importantly, NLBS is a base OS related service and you're more likely to get a response in the Windows Server Forum. In the specific case of BizTalk, the Windows NLB is only used for hosting the out of process services such as those associated with
HTTP/s Receive, orchestration published as schemas, web services (asmx) and/or WCF endpoints.

How to get total physical memory on the system thru program

Hi,
I have used kstat for identifying physical & virtual memory. I am able to get the data items of vminfo_t, but vminfo_t doesnot give the total physical memory all I get fro vminfo_t is
free memory, swap reserved, swap allocated, swap available and swap free.
Can someone help me in getting total physical memory of the system.
Thanks,
Ram

I do not believe you can get the physical number of pages through kstat. However, you can get it through sysconf(3C). The argument SCPHYS_PAGES will return the number of pages in the system.
See the sysconf(3C) manpage for more information.

Windows CAL

the environment is a mixture of Windows 2003, 2008 and 2012 different editions. All of them are mixed physical and virtual combinations. All the domain controllers are in Windows 2003. With respect to CALs, what CALs will be required? 2003 or 2012?

This is an exerpt from the Windows CAL Licensing guide:
A Windows Server CAL gives a user or device the right to access any edition of Windows Server of the same or earlier version. (You cannot use an earlier-version CAL to access a later-version server.)
Document available here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/Assessing_Windows_Server_Licensing.pdf
For further information about CAL:
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=
So you would need Server 2012 CALs.

Geo-Replication in SQL Azure

We are looking to move from geographically distributed and replicated physical/virtual data machines to SQL Azure.
We would like to have synched/replicated Azure SQL DB instances in multiple regions. I would appreciate if you could answer some questions related to how to achieve this and what to expect:
1. Is Azure SQL Sync the correct approach for geo-replicating Azure SQL Databases?
2. What is the Performance SLA that I can expect for the synchronization? I would like to know the minimum and maximum delay possible for the synchronization. (I can see that the minimum sync frequency is 5 minutes. What would be the sync delay when the
sync is triggered every 5 minutes?)

Hello,
1. SQL Data sync can be used for synchronization across SQL Database sites or between SQL Database and an on-premise SQL Server instance. But also notes: SQL Data Sync is currently available only as a Preview and is meant only for product feedback for
future releases and should not be used in production environments. Currently, there are
limits in SQL Data Sync.
2. Windows Azure SQL Database keep triple redundancy within the Azure data center combined with the 99.9% availability SLA. SQL Database does not currently provide any SLA for performance or for security. As for SQL Data Syc, I can not find any document from BOL
about the SLA for SQL Data sync.

MSI NEO 2 and 2gb ram, whats the best?

I am thinking of selling my current 2X512 twinmos w/winbond ( work flawless @ 1T 2-3-6-2-2) so I can get some dual channel 1gb sticks. Now I heard that the NEO 2 will not be able to run 400mhz if I went 3X512mb? Also I know the NF2 can run dual channel even with 3 sticks is this the case for NE02 A64? Also what is the best make that will lose me the least peformance, as I know latency is a big factor with 1gb sticks? I was hoping to run the same timings? Or is this not gonna be possible? I am NOT OVERCLOCKING, this is all at stock
I have read the sticky but it does not cater for my exact needs in knowing for running 3 stocks etc

It might be hard to find 2x1gb dual channel ram that will match your current timings. So you might loose a bit of performance on applications than can run under 1gb of ram.
Personally I have 2x512mb, and my swap file is disabled. I have never runned out of ram so far. All my games stay under the 1024mb mark. This means I get no HDD trashing at all, cause everything stays in ram.
This is ok, as long as you don't run out of ram. As soon as you do, Windows or the program will probably crash. But I can always set a small swap file if I ever need it again.
The windows Task Manager keeps a history of the max ram you have ever used (Physical + Virtual). Just open the task manager and click the performance tab.
TOTAL = Current use.
LIMIT = Max availiable
PEAK = Max used on current windows session.
All parameters refer to REAL + SWAP combined (if swap exists). The Windows Kernel will take some ram away from the PEAK. So when swap is disabled, you will notice that PEAK will not equal your real total ram.

Rs480 windows-sata installation problem

Hi all,
Whenever I try to install windows in my system I press the F6 button and loads the sil3112 sata driver. The first time I tried this worked(win xp with no sps) and I got to install windows. But after sometime I decided reinstall windows. This time when I tried to install windows(win xp with sp1) with the usual procedure like loading the sata driver through F6 method it didnt work. When I reach the partitioning blue screen and when I give prompt to format the drive or partition it windows say that “however the disk does not contain a windows compatible partition” and thus have to exit.
The same thing happened when I tried to install xp 64bit with sil drivers given in msi site.
Please do help me with this problem.

Why not install like you did before, not using a slipstreamed version? It may do the trick!
Are you runnign single SATA? (I didn't find it in your summary, may looked over it ... maybe you can give your specs like in my signature )
i'll try you way.but its difficult to get a pure xp. i'll have to dig hard for that.
for ur 2nd question. i am not running a single sata. i have one sata 80gb and another 20 gb ide.is that a problem

Exchange 2010 performance is very slow

Hi Team,

My problem is when i remote desktop do my Exchange servers, everything is so slow.
Any idea's what could cause this?
Thanks,
Sivakumar Thayumanavan

Hi Jatin,
Please find the answer for your question.
1. Server is virtual or physical - Virtual
2. If virtual then RAM is static or dynamic - Static
3. Is the RDP only slow or when you log on locally also - RDP only slow as the server is virtual server
4. If only RDP and its a Virtual machine then by any chance you have a broadcom lan card..??
what task manager is showing.. can you share the screen shot.

REP-57000 Error When Generating a Report in EXCEL format

Hello All,
We're encountering an error that says "REP-57000: Oracle Reports API - Internal error: Item: oracle.reports.definition.RWReport;Prop:34; Attr: ]] ...".
The report works fine and is able to generate an EXCEL file when it retrieves around 3K records. We only encounter the error when the number of records exceeds 5K.
What is the cause of the error? Additional note, we're using Oracle Reports Server ver.10.1.2.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appeciated. =)

In the reports engine conf file (Example on UAT -> rep_lonshutl5n2_10gr2_forms_reports_service.conf) add JVM Heap Options
jvmOptions="-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
First option is the minimum heap size and second is maximum. The size is in MB and max size can go up to 4000 depending on physical/virtual memory available on Operating System.
Change this Value from 512-2000 and try running your report
In case this doesn't solve your problem, change your output Format to DELIMITEDDATA and try running the reports. There is a bug in Oracle that it doesn't support large excel outputs in DELIMITED format.

ITunes not allowed in the Enterprise!

Ok so I want to sync data but iTunes is forbidden on our machines. I don't think we are the only company with this policy so how then is the iPad ready for enterprise use?

Sure, you could possible pair down iTunes for installation.
My company (having a globally installed base of 35,000+ workstations) will install and support BB software on a specific employee’s assigned desktop/laptop and is willing to do the same for iTunes to support the iPhone.
Our mobile phone users don’t create content on their phones. The BBs and such are generally only used for voice, email, calendars, notes, contacts.
Because of the way these devices are used, we're not required to install and support BB software on every workstation through-out the enterprise that a BB user may come into contact with throughout their business day.
However, the iPad is much more that a Black Berry/Smart Phone/iPhone.
Our employees that are asking for iPads are looking to eliminate the need to carry a laptop to access Intranet web sites, deliver presentations, check and compose email, create simple documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint compatible).
Any content that is created on the iPad needs to be accessible and shareable via USB and not just over 3G and WiFi. The vast majority of our global operation does not have WiFi coverage (and won’t anytime in the near future). 3G coverage is not always available or may be spotty (many locations only have the Edge network available and or no cell coverage due to the buildings structure).
As such, the inability to mount the iPad as a USB storage device to share content without iTunes severely restricts the device.
Apple, yourself and others chime in and say just install iTunes.
There is a very significant cost in deploying, supporting and maintaining iTunes on all of the workstations that iPad users may (or may not) need to connect to across a large enterprise - security, lifecycle, and deployment planning; QA and Certification the current and future application versions on each of the various workstation models (images) and environments (physical & virtual); deploy the application (tech and push installs); etc.
Is Apple, you or they going to pay for all of this this?
Quite frankly, there is no valid technical reason that the iPad cannot be plugged in and mounted as a generic USB flash drive to enable the sharing or files (other than Apples possible business desire to force us to us iTunes).
Until this is corrected and broad support for SSL VPN is available, we will not seriously consider the iPad for anything but very small well defined installations having a limited business scope.

Problem with VLAN Trunking within RHEL6.6 VM on Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a known issue with using a "trunk" mode interface within a RHEL6.6 VM? I found the following article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn531026.aspx
Where note 1 reads:
"For this specific RHEL/CentOS release, VLAN tagging may not work when used in conjunction with trunk mode".
I've been fighting with this for the better part of a day and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a RHEL 6.6 VM with two NICs. The first NIC is a standard access mode NIC - no problems there.
The second NIC has been set up as follows (via PowerShell):
    $a=Get-VmNetworkAdapter -VMName "My VM"
    Set-VMNetworkAdapterVlan -Trunk -VmNetworkAdapter $a[1] -AllowedVlanIdList 101-105 -NativeVlanId 1
Note that the physical switch and switchports are configured to send tagged packets for these VLANs as well.
I then set up a VLAN (eth1.102) based interface in the VM ... and never receive any traffic on it.
What I've observed is that:
A VM on the same physical host using the same virtual switch can communicate with the VM on the tagged VLAN
A pcap of the "eth1" interface (to which eth1.102 is bound) shows traffic for VLANs 101 through 105 arriving ... I just never see the traffic for VLAN 102 forwarded to the eth1.102 interface
An identical network configuration using Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS works exactly as expected
It's this last point that has me wondering if the problem is with RHEL and not Hyper-V (or the physical/virtual switches involved).
I'm curious if anybody else has seen this behavior or, if RHEL 6.x is working for you, if you're using Intel or Broadcom NICs on the physical Hyper-V host?
Thanks,

This is indeed a known issue with RHEL.   There's a bug open with Red Hat on the issue, and our understanding is that they have a fix in progress that will be part of a RHEL 6.6 update.  You might inquire with Red Hat regarding
their bugzilla #1135347.
