Private Cloud Stack without hardware virtualization

I want to set up a private Cloud for testing purposes, the problem is, I don't have the newest Hardware for this plan. Especially the most of my machines don't have hardware virtualization support. I tried the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, but the instances stuck
in the "pending" state. The hypervisor used kvm and then it crashed. And heard that Xen isn't as good implemented in the UEC to use it.
My question now is, which would be the best cloud stack for me? A stack which can handle not hardware virtualized machines better.
I only wan't to use it for testing, EC2 is to expensive for me at this time for my current development state.

Hi,
the Microsoft Private Cloud is generally based on automation build on several System Center Products working together. You are talking about virtualization. So the question for you is, which virtualization solution is the best for you. If you need a "cheap"
solution you can go with the Hyper-V 2012 R2 Server. You can check if some of your hardware supports that solution.
If you need a Private Cloud Solution on top of your virtualization platform, you will have to check if System Center Evaluation Copies fits your needs.
Possibly TechNet Virtual Labs are what you are looking for: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/virtuallabs/bb467605.aspx

  • Can I use virtual Servers in private cloud for RAC

    Hello  to all
    We are going to install an Oracle RAC on two servers
    But our Hardware Administrator says to us   “I Allocate two virtual servers in the our private cloud not two physical Servers (or real Servers)”
    Do you think it’s practical and reasonable to using virtual Server for Oracle RAC  in production environment ?
    Which one is better physical server or virtual server  for RAC?
    Please write your reasons
    Thanks

    Using virtual machines is officially  supported for RAC only in a few cases which can be found here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/virtualizationmatrix-172995.html
    Make sure that you meet these requirements in your private cloud. Some cases like vmware are still somewhat supported despite beeing not on the list.
    Beside this you should make sure that your 2 virtual machines run on different hardware servers in the cloud, otherwise you lose most parts of the rac advantage regarding high availability, when both virtual servers happen to run on the same hardware during a crash
    Virtual servers are used in production environments, but you will have to take greater care for many aspects of rac compared to physical hardware, e.g.. something like "live migration" of vmware can kill a rac node due to timeout.
    I would prefer hardware for rac anytime over virtual servers and spare me the hassle of dealing with all possible issues arising from the virtualization.
    And check oracles licensing policy...
    Running an enterprise edition rac on e.g. a large vmware cluster is insanely expensive, you pay every cpu core the rac COULD run on -> the entire cluster!
    If you must use virtual hardware but don't want to and need an argument against it use the license issue.

  • SGE2010 Private Cloud networking = complexity

    I've been tasked by 4 medical practices to move their servers into a colocation facility, connect their remote offices using high-speed fiber (10-100Mb) and still keep each practice separate.  They are sharing the colo and SAN to reduce their individual cost.  Basically I'm setting up a private cloud with a twist - keeping them separate.  I worked all afternoon yesterday and through the night until 5am with no luck getting anything to work.  Please help.  I'm sure there is something obvious that I'm overlooking.
    Here is where I'm currently at.  I'm a server administrator that knows enough networking to be dangerous.  Here is what I have so far.
    All switches have been changed to Layer 3
    Practice 1
    Colo network & 32nd St Office
    I was able to connect these two locations with the high-speed fiber using a flat network (VLAN 1).  I will need to break them into different subnets.
    2 - SGE2010s stacked
    IP: 192.1.1.38 /24 (It was already like this.  I'll need to migrate them to 10.13.2.1)
    VLAN: 132
    VLAN IP: 192.168.13.2 /24
    VLAN: 1013
    Port 48 changed to General, admit all (Fiber connection)
    Routing
    192.1.35.0 /24 -> 192.168.13.3
    0.0.0.0 /0 -> 192.1.1.38
    CG office
    1 - SGE2010
    IP: 192.1.35.254 /24 (will migrate later to 10.13.3.1)
    VLAN: 133
    VLAN IP: 192.168.13.3 /24
    VLAN: 1013
    Port 48 changed to General, admit all (Fiber connection)
    Routing
    192.1.1.0 /24 -> 192.168.13.1
    I can't see the remote CG office.  What am I missing?  Once I get this basic setup I'm going to use it as a template for the remaing 9 offices.
    Thanks!

    "is there any other way i can just create a two node fail over in vmware workstation without having to use physical servers "
    Absolutely!  You will need at least three VMs.  One VM will be your Active Directory domain controller and your shared storage server (not a best practice, but it seems like you are creating a lab, so it will work).  Then you will need two
    to be the nodes of the cluster.  On the first machine you will need to set up either iSCSI or SMB - SMB is a lot easier.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2013/08/16/3587652.aspx provides a step by step guide for setting up a configuration that is more complex than you want, but it should
    help you get started.  He uses a three node cluster, but two will do.  And, he is doing things under Hyper-V, so some things will have to be translated to the VMware environment.  Of course, if you use Hyper-V on a Windows 8.1 system instead
    of VMware workstation, more will apply.

  • Best way to set up a private cloud for family

    I wish to set up my private cloud. Is there any Apple device that will help me do so? If not, which are the devices that will be most compatible with Mac, iPhone and an iPad?
    I don't have a server as yet. I am looking for an Apple device that can act as a storage for all kinds of files for every member in my family.
    Will I be able to access my files from anywhere once secure my files in Mac server? If yes, can someone please explain the detailed procedure to do so?

    In isolation, the term "Cloud" is effectively meaningless; it's largely become a marketing term designed to try to open up wallets in an effort toward the proper vacuuming of available funds.  It started out as what used to be timesharing or hosted services, or client server.  The "private" version is now typically used for devices or servers you own.  Better than these terms, you'll need to decide what services you want now, and what services you might grow into — and whether you want to provide gear for the immediate needs, or gear that's more capable and that you can grow into.  Storage is obvious.  Probably VPN services.  Web (and possibly WebDAV) with a Wiki or a content management system, and potentially your own mail server and calendar (CalDAV) server.  Once you have sorted out what you want to do and what you want to grow into (and implicitly also the budget involved here), then we'll have a better idea of what sort of "cloud" you need.
    If you want to share storage via CIFS/SMB or AFP, then OS X (client) can do that now.  No need for OS X Server, or some other server.  For AFP, Time Capsule can provide local storage.  Further along, OS X Server, which can deal with sharing storage, as well as DNS and distributed authentication.  (Recent versions of OS X Server have had some issues with the VPN server, but Apple has released some patches that have supposedly addressed that.)
    Or you can use Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices from various vendors.   This would be similar to the Time Capsule, though many of the available devices are more capable and more capacious.  Synology makes some of the higher-end gear in the home range, and there are many other vendors of NAS devices.
    When working with multiple users where privacy is a concern, the necessity for authentication and access controls can arise with traditional file shares, though these simple shares will work for smaller configurations.  In a larger system, you'll want to have the access tied into the identity of the accessor, rather than having everybody configured with passwords all over the place — those passwords don't tend to get changed or require the user to log in and change it across multiple devices, and security tends to go downhill from there.  You might or might not be small enough here to not have these requirements; where you can either have passwords on multiple devices, or can share passwords — but that's something to ponder.
    Remote access requires a network connection and probably involving a VPN security — an encrypted network connection — into a gateway firewall device with an embedded VPN server, or using NAT VPN passthrough into some other local VPN server you've installed and configured, and it requires an ISP connection that allows that remote access.  For simple access and where your ISP allows in-bound VPNs, dynamic DNS (to get from name to IP address) and a VPN server in your gateway device or in some other box inside your network — with NAT VPN passthrough enabled on your gateway device — will work.  For a bigger group or when more advanced features or typical use of a small business or such, you'd typically want static IP, as you'd typically be looking to add mail services and some other features.  (This also means you'll want a reasonably fast and reliable remote network link from your ISP, obviously.)
    iOS doesn't particularly do file sharing (not without add-on tools, and many apps are not set up for accessing file shares in any case), so you'll have to look at what the particular apps you're using do support.  Once you know what those support, that'll help determine what can be shared there, and how.
    If you wanted to go gonzo, there are commercial and open-source cloud implementations, but that's going to involve managing a server, and the cloud software.
    Dropbox and Spideroak and other such are common choices for sharing files using hosted services, and Mac Mini Colo offers OS X-based cloud capabilities if you'd prefer to use a hosted OS X system.  This if you don't want to acquire and configure and manage and maintain the gear and the network access.

  • Installing Project Server 2013 as a private cloud

    hi,
    as far as I know ,SharePoint 2013 is designed to support cloud computing.Moreover, I saw several Microsoft partners that provide project server as a SAAS.
    now I was wondering if is there any instruction for lunching a project server as a private cloud?

    Hello Sam-Net
    Not sure what your question is? 
    If you install SharePoint 2013 on premise and expose it to the cloud, and then want different instance of project server running you would  use PowerShell to setup TENACY.  This is what some of the partners do for hosting project server.
    If you install SharePoint 2013 in Azure?  It would be the same answer.  You have to setup using PowerShell and creating Tenants. 
    Cheers!

    thanks Michael,
    it's not just about multi-tenancy. as far as I know, software as a service(SAAS) has several specifications such as multi-tenancy , on-demand , Rapid elasticity ,Self-service ,...
    for example a customer wants to have a separate servers for app and front end. if we add 2 new servers to our farm and run configuration wizard, all the services in the farm will stop and other customers will be dissatisfied with this situation.
     On the other hand, if we provide a farm with a great amount of RAM ,CPU and Hard drive, and for example run 3 instance of pwa (multi-tenancy) how is it possible to limit the amount of hardware for each instance?
    these are just one those issues which we will face when tend to lunch a project server to service customers as a cloud
    would you please guide me if I'm wrong
    Best,

  • Mac Pro, Windows 7 Virtual PC-XP Mode Problem w/ Hardware Virtualization

    I have installed windows 7 (64 bit) on an 8 month old intel mac pro with latest bootcamp. runs great. cannot get virtual pc / xp mode to work.
    confirmed latest firmware, confirmed processor has virtualization (vmx listed in processor details when boot to snow leopard).
    when i run ms hardware-assisted virtualization detection tool it confirms hardware virtualization. after i install xp mode and virtual pc update i get an error message that there is no virtualization. ms hardware-assisted virtualization detection tool will now also report no virtualization. if i uninstall xp mode and virtual pc update, ms hardware-assisted virtualization detection tool will again confirm virtualization.
    any thoughts? i searched forum but did not see anything - sorry if i missed it.
    thanks in advance for input...

    Because the hardware of Mac Pro does have Intel-VT capability, it's just disabled.
    One solution (though a very lame one) is boot into OS X first, run VMware Fusion or Parallel (which enables Intel-VT), then restart into Windows.
    Just hope there would be some way to enable Intel-VT on Windows...

  • K9N Platinum Hardware Virtualization?

    Hi all!
    I have an MSI K9N Platinum 7250 and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor AM2 F2 processor. The 3800+ supports hardware virtualization, but I cannot find a way to enable it in the Bios.
    I ran the Live Update 5 utility, and it shows the current BIOS version as being 1.K0 (I think its an error and should be 1.0). Either way, the Live Update utility does not show any new updates to the Bios.
    Does this mean that even though my CPU supports Hardware Virtualization, there is no way for me to use it as my Motherboard cannot?
    This is quite deceiving as when I bought the motherboard a few years ago, in the description it said that it supports the new AMD X2 range which has features such as hardware virtualization.
    Any help would me much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I just did, and I got the following message:
    "This System is not compatible with Hyper-V
    This utility detected that a necessary BIOS patch is not installed."
    I dont get it though as everywhere I've read, it says the Windsor chips were the first to support Hardware Virtualization, and the 3800+ is a Windsor one. My CPU box has this on it: "AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core Processor Socket AM2 Windsor 2.0GHZ 2x512KB 89W 90NM Retail"
    Is the Live Update 5 tool not detecting that a newer Bios version is out? I see there is a 7250v1B one can download from the 7250 support page, but I thought the Live Update 5 tool is the best thing to use for updating Bios?

  • How can I use flex motion control VI without hardware?

    I would like to try and simulate the motion control of my system before i hook up the motion control card. But when I use the VI in flex motion contro took kit it asks for address or something and gives me an error. Can't I just simulate without hardware?

    Hello,
    The only way you can use FlexMotion without any hardware is to set it up as Open Loop Stepper Control. Otherwise, you will get errors when no encoder signal is fed back to the controller.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions.

    Hi Kishore,
    first of all, there's probably a problem with server0. Generally it should come up automatically. And one can see JCONTROL and DISPATCHER, so there must be some problem with SERVER0. This could be a timeout for instance. One has to check dev_server0 and std_server0 files.
    However, you can of course start/stop the Java part independently from ABAP using the transaction SMICM. That's the official way. You should be able to use "soft shutdown with restart" if you just want to restart the Java stack. If you have doubts that this process went fine, trigger a "soft shutdown without restart" and wait until all java processes are gone (JCONTROL, DISPATCHER, SERVER<number>'s and SDM). Then use "Restart Yes" to trigger a new start.
    But, as I said, there's probably some issue in server0...
    Best regards,
    Christoph

  • Can't Delete Private Cloud - tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject not being updated

    I am having issues with our SCVMM instance where I can't delete Private Clouds...even if there empty. 
    When I right click the Private Cloud and click Delete, the "Jobs" panel says it finished successfully, however, the Private Cloud is not deleted. 
    After doing some researching, I believe its because entries in the tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject database table are not being updated correctly, when a VM is moved from one Private Cloud to another. After determining the "CloudID" of the Private
    Cloud I am trying to delete, I still see resources assigned to this Private Cloud in the tbl_WLC_PhysicalObject table, even though from VMM Console, the Private Cloud shows up empty. 
    For some testing purposes, I assigned a VM back to the Private Cloud I am trying to delete, only to move it out again and gather some tracing/logging. When I moved the VM back out of the Private Cloud, I had a SQL Profiler running in the background, capturing
    the SQL statements on the DB server. Looking at the "exec dbo.prc_WLC_UpdatePhysicalOBject" statement, I see the @CloudID variable is assigned the "CloudID" of the Private Cloud the VM is currently assigned to/the Private Cloud I am trying
    to delete and is NOT the CloudID of the Private Cloud the VM is being moved to/assigned to. 
    Instead of having the VMM Console GUI do the Private Cloud assignment/change...I copied the PowerShell commands out...so I can run them manually. Looks like the script gets 4 variables ($VM, $OperatingSystem, $CPUType, and $Cloud), and then runs the "Set-SCVirtualMachine"
    CMDLET. For the $Cloud variable, it does return the proper "CloudID" of the Private Cloud I am trying to move the VM too (I ran it separately and then ran an ECHO $Cloud to look at its value). When I run the "Set-SCVirtualMachine" CMDLET,
    the output has values for "CloudID" and "Cloud" and these are still the values of the source Private Cloud/Private Cloud I am moving the VM out of and ultimately want to delete. 
    Has anyone ran into this? Is something not processing right in the "Set-SCVirtualMachine" CMDLET?

    I been slowing looking into this and this is where I am at:
    I built a development SCVMM 2012 R2  instance that mocks our production environment (minus all the VM's...just the networking configuration and all the private clouds have been mocked). From there, I started at SCVMM 2012 R2 GA and one by one installed
    the 4 rollup patches in ordered and at each new patch level,  I monitored the queries coming in through SQL Profiler, as I moved a VM between private clouds and created new VM's within clouds. As I created new VM's and moved the VM's between clouds. the
    stored procedure "prc_WLC_UpdatePhysicalOBject" all have a value of NULL for the CloudID column....so a CloudID isnt even associated to the physical objects (basically the VHDX files and any mounted ISO's I have on the VM's). 
    I did find out this SCVMM instance was upgraded from SCVMM 2008 (I took over after the 2012 R2 upgrade was completed). 
    I am thinking at this point...nothing is wrong with SCVMM 2012 R2 if you build and recreate it from scratch and a new DB. I am thinking this might be a depreciated field from SCVMM 2008. The only other thing we did, was put in a SAN and moved VM's from stand-alone
    hosts to the new CSV's (A mixture of 2008 R2 and 2012 NON R2 hosts). 
    At this point...since we dont have Self-Service enabled yet....it will be a days work to rebuild a new instance of SCVMM 2012 R2 and migrate the hosts/VM's to it and start from a clean slate. 
    I know the DB structure isnt really published...but does anybody have any other insights into this?

  • How to configure DPM2012R2 to use a private cloud

    Hi,
    I have configure a private cloud over several MS 2012 R2 servers. I have the storage and all required network done. I then installed DPM 2012 R2 and would like to use the "long term" storage function with the private cloud that I created. Has anyone
    managed to get this done? The options in DPM 2012 R2 seems to only allow cloud association with Azure. Is it even possible to configure DPM 2012 R2 to use a private cloud deployment?
    Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards

    Thanks for the reply:
    How would I be able to do any of the long term storage to disk with second DPM? 
    My scenario is as follow:
    Primary DPM server is onsite with shortterm backup configured to disk. There are several protection groups to allow for different kinds of backup scenarios ie different times, different types of clients, etc. Then there is a "offsite" dpm server with about
    40Tb available storage that I'd like to use as a "long term" storage for the currently protected groups. However I'm not extremely proficient with DPM and therefore I'm uncertain how to get this done.
    What needs to be achieved is:
    Onsite I'd like to keep 14days (currently configured to do so, so no change required)
    Offsite I'd like to keep 12months (1 per month for each month) as well as 1 per year for 2 years of all protected groups.
    The offsite DPM server has thusfar only been configured as Server 2012 r2 Std and the storage has been allocated to the private cloud. This however doesn't need to stay like this and can be "broken" again and reconfigured. If there are step by step instructions
    that you could provide to do this I'd really appreciate.
    Kind Regards
