Pvlans and virtual servers

folks
not sure if this is the correct place to post but i'm hopeful someone here will have used this scenario
i have a existing and working pvlan with the usual community and isolated ports but i need to add a new setup to it
i have a requirement to add a virtual server which will host serveral virtuals and they will all be on the same switch port
has anyone any experience of this and if so are there any pitfalls to look out for
the virtual servers shouldn't need to talk to each other and should only be talking to the promiscuous port on the default gateway
thanks to anyone taking the time to read this or to reply

Hi Bro
I’ve never configured PVLAN in any of my deployments but I’m familiar with the do’s and don’t’s of PVLAN.
Basically, your question here is, in a physical server, you’ll have many virtual servers. Each of these virtual servers will have a different IP Address, but same MAC Address, connected to a single switchport of a Cisco Switch.
Even if you were to configure that particular switchport as “isolated”, this still wouldn’t resolve your issue. This is because you want to have a complete separation from one virtual server to another virtual server, within the same physical server connected to a single switchport of a Cisco Switch.
I did some homework for you, and I believe VMWARE can do this. Please do refer to

P/S: If you think this comment is useful, please do rate them nicely :-)

ODI Agent and Virtual Servers (VMWare)

Hi
We are planning on moving to virtual servers (VMware product) in the near future.
Has anyone had experience running ODI agent on a virtualised server. I can't envisage any problems, but Oracle do not specificallly support running on VM Ware (as they have their own VM product!!).
Just wondering if theres anyone out there who has already tried this?
Thanks for looking

I agree, seen ODI and agents running on VMWare without any issues on many occasions.
Cheers

Reverse proxy and virtual servers

Is it possible to have different reverse proxy setting for each virtual server.
i.e.
www.server1.com/app1 will reverse proxy to an app server
www.server2.com/app1 will be a 404
both server1 and server2 is the same webserver, but using different virtual servers.
I sought of need like in the virtual manager how you can deploy a webapp under one virtual server, but not another one.
I've read the reverse proxy documentation, but its quite skimpy on this subject.

Yes, it is possible. You have two options:
1. Use the same virtual server class for both virtual servers and use the <Client> tag to specify urlhost-specific configuration.
2. Use a separate virtual server class (with a separate obj.conf file) for each virtual server.
With option 1, part of your obj.conf file might look like the following:<Client urlhost="www.server1.com">
NameTrans fn="assign-name" from="/app1(|*)" name="passthrough"
</Client>With option 2, you would configure the Reverse Proxy Plugin in only one of the two obj.conf files.

TMG and Virtual Servers

Hi,
I have a question?
Can TMG can be installed in a Vitual machine irrespective of different vendors? I mean to ask whether it can be installed in Hyper - V, VMware, Xen machines?
How effective the TMG behaves when it would be installed in Virtual servers?
Regards,
SHA-IN-SHA

TMG needs Server 2008 R2.
Thats being said, you can install in any Physical or Virtual Machine and thats supported config.
However it is NOT recommended to have TMG in VM in prod setup.

Create image server operating system with Hyper-V and virtual machines

Friends,
Need to replicate the environment they currently have, but wanted to optimize this operation by creating an image of windows server with Hyper-V and virtual servers already installed, what tool do I use? Can someone guide ???
Dreyher

I recommend you separate the task of protecting the host from the task of protecting the guest VMs.
By "replicate the environment", do you mean backup the VMs in a recoverable state? or do you intend on migrating the VMs to another environment like another physical location? How much down time can you tolerate if any?
To backup the VMs use a VSS based backup solution. There's plenty out there, including Windows Server backup, Altaro, DPM, Veeam, and many more. This does not require installing agent on any of the VMs, and will not down the VMs during backup. Here's an
example Powershell script to backup all VMs on the local host:
Install-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Server-Backup
$BackupTarget = "\\server\share"
$WbTarget = New-WBBackupTarget -NetworkPath $BackupTarget
$WBPolicy = New-WBPolicy
Add-WBBackupTarget -Policy $WBPolicy -Target $WbTarget
Add-WBVirtualMachine -Policy $WBPolicy -VirtualMachine (Get-WBVirtualMachine) # Add all VMs on localhost
Start-WBBackup -Policy $WBPolicy -Async
If the intent is VM migration from one location to another, there are plenty of tools to do so with minimal or no down time. Just bing it..

CF licenses and virtual server environments

How do I determine how many CF licenses I need in a virtual server environment? Is it determined by the main server or is it based on how many cpu's are allocated to each virtual server?

You need to carefully read the End User License Agreement (EULA) for the version of ColdFusion you are deploying. For CF 11, it can be found here: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/legal/licenses-terms/pdf/Adobe_ColdFusion- Multi-20140214_1311.pdf. You'll need to understand the definitions of CPUs found in sections 1.4, 1.14, and 1.21, then carefully read all of section 3.1.2 (virtual machine license).
The comments in this Adobe ColdFusion Blog post are relevant too, as there are several that discuss the EULA and virtual servers: Announcing the launch of ColdFusion 11 and ColdFusion Builder 3 — Adobe ColdFusion Blog

How to customize search in WS 7 and for multiple virtual servers?

I'm not clear on how to customize search results pages in Sun Web Server 7. The documentation (the Adminstrator's Guide, page 215) says:
You can take a look at the default search application located at /bin/https/webapps/search as a sample application
but I'm not seeing any such thing. I did a find . -name search -type d from the server root and instance root but the only search directories I'm seeing are subdirectories within the generated directory and they look like system generated jsps that I shouldn't touch (So I didn't :-)
So one question is, where is the default app? A second question is, how do we set up different branding for different virtual servers?
We're currently using WS 6.1 and it has a field in the GUI for the directory containing the web app to use for search. That seems to have disappeared in WS 7.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

I don't use the search engine, so I'm afriad I don't have direct experience here.
What I'd probably do is modify the app so that it looks at the Host data to determine which directory it should point to for graphics, formatting, etc. You could also use the obj.conf with variables to pull graphics from directories appropriately branded. Something like:
1) Create "additional doc directory" for images
2) Find the entry in the obj.conf that points to the new directory
3) Modify the path to something like /path/to/$host/images
4) Make sure you create directories like:
/path/to/foobar.com/images/
/path/to/www.foobar.com/images/
/path/to/baz.com/images/
/path/to/www.baz.com/images/

Apache, name based virtual hosts and multiple servers.

Hi,
Ive been playing with Apache and name-based virtual hosts for a while now, but, ive been doing it with one single server... now i have the need to forward a name-based request to another server inside the intranet (wich doesnt have a public IP, but a private)...
Something like this:
internet -----> Webserver (name based vhosts) ----> intranet-webserver
Where "webserver" has several domains resolved via name based virtual hosting, and one of those needs to be redirected (or forwarded) to another server on the LAN.
Any ideas on how to do this? i tryed searching the web, but i dont know under which keywords, so i always end on single server virtual hosting help sites.
thanks in advance!

you need to define a virtual server for it..but inside that definition.. define a proxy.
Then the middle webserver, will actually handle the request to the intranet server, on behalf of the internet client..and then pass the traffic to the internet client.
this looks like a reasonable example..

Best practices for setting up virtual servers on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am creating a Web server from scratch with Windows Server 2012 R2. I expect to have a host server, and then 3 virtual servers...one that runs all of the web apps as a web server, another as a Database Server, and then on for session state. I
expect to use Windows Server 2012 R2 for the Web Server and Database Server, but Windows 7 for the session state.
I have an SATA2 Intel SROMBSASMR RAID card with battery back up that I am attaching a small SSD drive that I expect to use for the session state, and an IBM Server RAID M1015 SATA3 card that I am running Intel 520 Series SSD's that I expect to
use for Web server and Database server.
I have some questions. I am considering using the internal USB with a flash drive to boot the Host off of, and then using two small SSD's in a Raid 0 for the Web server (theory being that if something goes wrong, session state is on a different drive), and
then 2 more for the Database server in a RAID 1 configuration.
please feel free to poke holes in this and tell me of a better way to do it.
I am assuming that having the host running on a slow USB drive that is internal has no effect on the virtual servers after it is booted up, and the virtual servers are booted up?

There are two issues about RAID0:
1) It's not as fast as people think. So with a general purpose file system like NTFS or ReFS (choice for Windows is limited) you're not going to have any great benefits as there are very low chances whole RAID stripe would be updated @ the same time (I/Os
need to touch all SSDs in a set so 256KB+ in a real life). Web server workload is quite far away from sequential reads or writes so RAID0 is not going to shine here. Log-structures file system (or at least some FS with logging capabilities, think about ZFS
and ZIL enabled) *will* benefit from SSDs in RAID0 properly assigned.
2) RAID0 is dangerous. One lost SSD would render whole RAID set useless. So unless you build a network RAID1-over-RAID0 (mirror RAID sets between multiple hosts with a virtual SAN like or synchronous replication solutions) - you'll be sitting on a time bomb.
Not good :)

Slow transfer speed between existing servers and new servers

I have an issue with copying files to a new HP physical server with Esxi 5.5 host and Windows 2012 Server from anywhere in our current network.
We have an older HP server with Esxi 3 and multiple Windows 2003 vms, including a domain controller, file server and sql server (our current environment).   I installed a new HP DL380 Gen 8 server and installed Esxi 5 and two Windows 2012 servers,
one is a DC and one is a file server (our future environment).
Currently the new 2012 DC a second domain controller; have not made it the first domain controller yet.   The 2012 file server is a member server. Same network IP range, static, same subnet, same gw.
When I try to copy files from our current environment – to either of the Windows 2012 servers it crawls, like 100kb/sec or less.   It is slow between 2003 and 2012 servers, either direction, and between my Windows 7 and the 2012 server. Does
not matter if I use windows to copy or robocopy. It is very fast between the 2003 servers in the current environment and between my windows 7 and the current servers. Downloads from the Internet do not seem slow. I have done the following
to try to resolve with no success:
Some forums have suggested disabling Large Send offload on the nic card – usually Broadcom cards, ours are intel, but I tried it anyway with no success.
Some forums suggested turning off digital signing in group policy, no success.
Some forums suggest SMB2 can be a culprit, I disabled it on the 2012 server with no change in speed.
I made sure all the updates are complete on the new 2012 file server.
Turned the server firewall off to be sure it wasn’t blocking something; no antivirus installed yet.
I contacted Vmware to make sure the virtual switch and nics were set up correctly on Esxi 5, they said they are.
I checked the physical Cisco switch settings to make sure it looked fine.   The current and future physical servers were all connected to the same physical switch.
I switched out the network cable
I moved the network cable to a different switch.
I checked to be sure DNS was set up correctly.
I checked firewall settings on the Esxi 5.5.
Current HP Service pack is installed on the Gen 8 Server.
I am running out ideas. Any suggestions?

Running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers

Is anyone running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers? If so, what has been your experience with this? We are installing NetWeaver 2004s on three virtual servers (running on the same Physical Windows server). We are using the Microsoft Virtual Server software (not VM Ware).
Thanks in advance for any information.

Check Note 674851 - Virtualization on Windows:
VMware, GSX Server, VMware workstation, Microsoft Virtual Server
Due to their restriction to 32-bit, single CPU and host/guest operation, these virtualization products are not suitable for productive SAP applications.
It may be advisable to use one of these products to operate non-production systems (demo systems, test systems, development systems and so on).
I would not use Microsoft Virtual Server for productive installations, additionally, depending on the database used, it may or may not supported by the database vendor and thus also may or may not supported by SAP.
In worst case you will need to reinstall the application on a non-virtualized environment and reproduce a problem there before SAP support will accept the problem.

Multiple Virtual servers, one listener setup

I am trying SJS 7 as a Proof of Concept project to replace our existing iPlaney 6 and Netscape 2 server instances.
My question is how do I setup SJS to have one http listener on port 80, but be able to handle multiple websites? I want to use a CNAME under our DNS and then have the SJS environment look to see what the domain name is and point it to the correct directory when called upon via web browser.
Under our DNS, each stub file has something like:
mysite IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
mysite2 IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
Under our Apache's virthost.conf, I just need to do the following:
<VirtualHost mysite.com>
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mysite2.com>
ServerName mysite2.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite2.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite2.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite2.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite2.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite2.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I setup two virtual servers under one configuration, but the http-listener-1 instance only wants to point to one virtual server instance rather than the pair. I tried to add a 2nd http-listener, but it won't allow me to use the same CNAME address nor port 80 for it as well.
How do I do the same thing that I do with Apache virthosting under SJS 7?
-- Michael

I took a look at the server.xml file, and I currently have this:
<http-listener>
<name>http-listener-1</name>
<ip>sjsdev.mysite.com</ip>
<port>80</port>
<server-name>sjsdev.mysite.com</server-name>
<default-virtual-server-name>screwball</default-virtual-server-name>
</http-listener>
<virtual-server>
<name>screwball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>screwball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/screwball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/screwball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
<name>fastball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>fastball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/fastball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/fastball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
I bounced the listener and virtual hosts then tried using a browser for testing.
If I go to http://screwball.mysite.com, it goes to the correct htdocs directory.
If I go to http://fastball.mysite.com, it goes to the screwball htdocs directory instead.
Also, is it possible to make these configuration changes via the Administration web GUI?
Trying to document this as much as possible, mostly via screenshots, for other team members.

Help with J2EE SDK 1.4 Virtual Servers please!

H!
Are we doomed to have just one virtual server pointing to port 80??
I have a Win2K computer with J2EE App Server 1.4. In this computer I stopped the IIS 5.0 in order to use the HTTP Server included with the product. I also run the DNS on the same machine with 3 domains. All name resolutions for these 3 domains work fine.
Now I want to enter to any of the 3 domains freely and execute JSP apps. But I don't want to enter ports numbers like this:
http://www.mytest.com:8081/hello.jsp
I just want to enter:
http://www.mytest.com/hello.jsp
So I defined a new http-port listener pointing to the 80 port on this server. With no SSL support.
Name: http-port80
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
POrt: : 80
Then I defined a new virtual server using the http-port listener. I set the following fields:
ID: mytest
Hosts: www.mytest.com
HTTP Listener: http-port80 (This is the name of the port listener)
Everything seems to be fine. I can enter http://www.mytest.com and call the hello.jsp it's ok.
But then I create a new virtual server for http://www.mytest2.com exactly as the one for the www.mytest.com, except for the host field: http://www.mytest2.com
Then when I restart the app server I got the message on the log: "Port already in use".
I don't want to enter http://www.mytest2.com:<port> but I've read that you cannot assign the same http-listener to 2 virtual servers, so I created another listener pointing to the same port 80. But I still have the same error.
Any ideas how to handle this?
Am I doing something wrong on the configuration?
Thank you very much!!

I can help you out with this, because I just solved this problem using the Apache web server 2.0 with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http.
this is how the configuration works.
setup sunone creating one virtual host for each http-listener on a different port. and make sure these ports are any port except the 80. -- we will configure apache on this port and then use it as a reverse proxy to get to our hosts.
like this
virtual-listener-1 - port 8081
virtual-listener-2 - port 8082
virtual-listener-3 - port 8083
virtual-host-1: www1.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-1
virtual-host-2: www2.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-2
virtual-host-3: www3.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-3
now download apache with all the modules http://www.apache.org
in your httpd.conf add the following lines of code.
#the code below will tell apache to enable the proxy for your host
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
# Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to
# enable the proxy server:
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from www1.domain.com
Allow from www2.domain.com
Allow from www3.domain.com
</Proxy>
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
ProxyVia On
# End of proxy directives.
</IfModule>
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www1.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8081/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www2.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8082/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www3.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8083/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
note the sunone server indicates the server where you installed sunone-as (J2EE 1.4). this will give you the result you are looking for: all three of these sites will run on port 80 and each of them will respond to a different web application on sunone.
there are naturally limits because when you run out of ports on your application server this won't work any more but then again there are about 60000 of those free and i don't think you will be able to run that many sites on one server anyway.

SBS 2003 to Server 2013 migration - How many virtual Servers?

Hi
I need to replace our SBS2003 - we are about 10 users. We use it for:
AD
File/Print
Exchange
SQL
WSUS
Subversion
TrendMicro WFBS
Since there is no current follow up product I feel like I need to setup:
Server 2012 R2
Exchange 2013
SQL Server 2012 Express
I found inconsistent information on how many virtual servers I will need. Is it correct that in contrast to SBS I must have multiple (virtual) servers?
What is best practice for this scenario (# of VM's, "what" goes best with "what", sizes ..)
Thanks a lot for your help .. I have a very good knowledge about the SBS2003 but unfortunately not about the later Standard Server Versions.

Well.. best practice would suggest,
1 VM - DC
1 VM - Exchange
1 VM - SQL
Reality though, suggests they may not be required.
What do you 'need'?, is a better question.
Can you move to hosted exchange?
You can certainly use the Hosted Trend Micro AV product which removes the requirement to run a console on your server.
Perhaps 2 VMs would be sufficient a DC, and a second to host your applications and WSUS.
