Replication Server Install hanging? (via sapinst)

I have installed the Primary instance, then installed the empty database on the standby server. Installed SRS on the standby (without the
configuration) option, then gone back to the Standby and I am now in the process of installing SRS on there (it asks you for the primary and
standby site and
ports etc) it's happily accepted, but it seems to have just hung at the point
mentioned (see screenshot) and it keeps writing the isql64** files
(where
** is incremented number.
but
I am working from the Primary.
eg:
isql64
isql64.2301
isql64.2300
isql64.2299
The install hasn't failed, it's just hanging and spewing out to these files...has anyone seen this before?...Could someone, please, tell me what I'm missing here?!

Hi Neil,
Can you please file an incident with support?
Regards,
Bill

Thanks!!! I was going to say that all those isql64* are isql sessions running commands so you aren't "hanging" - it doing something - most likely materializing - doing the dump/load from source to target - but if you post in SRS SCN, there may be some nuances others may be able to help with.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 server install hangs

OVM 3.1.1 64 bit
i7 cpu
Hi,
I'm trying to instal OVM on n server. But it hangs at different stages. I have searched the web and came across guys that had similar issues and and went ovm 2.2 and passing kernel parameters before the install.
http://someoracledba.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
I tried that and it installed but it doesn't ask for ip or hostname and lspci | grep -i eth but says unkown device.
I would really like advice either on how to pass the kernel parameters for 3.1.1.

To update :
I gad to pass installer kernal parameters, and set cpu's to 4 :
mboot.c32 xen.gzmaxcpus=4 --- vmlinuz apic=bigsmp ---init.img
This worked, but why doesn't it allow 8 cpu's. I have a intel i7 8 core cpu, anyone?

Server install hangs at calendar services

I performed a fresh install of OSX Server following issues with upgrading to version 4.0.3. Even with a fresh install, the server hangs on "Preparing Calendar Services," and won't move beyond it. Any ideas?

Hi
You may find following the steps outlined in the 'answer' on this thread helps fix your problem. The step (to kill one process running during the install sequence) is a lot less invasive than doing clean builds and so on.
Hope it helps.

Server install, hangs at drive erase

Greetings all - maybe someone out can lend some advice or point me to some resources. I'm installing tiger server on a g4 that was "donated" to our office. The box has the current server package already installed. I want to clean the slate before putting in our network, makes sense right? However, I'm getting the spinning beach ball of death when attempting to erase the drive during installation. Perhaps this is why it as a donation...

Thanks for your help Roger. I tried tried the disk utility as well with the same result. To get beyond this hold up (and although not a fix and I'm still curious why), I used 10.3's drive erase/installation, then installed the 10.4 server, erasing the drive again before installation. I ended the day with a fresh install of the server and a few hours of overtime.

7.5 install hanging at Checking Server Components

hi all,
I am installing BPC 7.5 on Windows Server 2008, and the install hangs at the Checking Server Components section. We are utilizing SQL server and Reporting Services on another server. Any ideas?

When you performed the installation did you run the setp like Administrator?
Into Windows 2008 you have to specify this when you are running any application.

Sorin Radulescu

BPC 7.5 install hanging at Checking Server Environments

Hi all,
I am installing BPC 7.5 on Windows Server 2008, and the install hangs at the Checking Server Environments section.
Any ideas?

Before you run the install check the following :
1. From your BPC Server, open SQL Server manager and try to connect to SQL engine and SSAS engine with the install account you use for BPC (BPCSYSADMIN).
2. Open Reporting Services portal (http://SSRServer/Reports y default) : Make sure you can open the portal homepage.
3. Always run the startup.exe install executable as an Administrator (new functionnality in Windows Server 2008 : Right click / Run as Administrator).
4. Disable Anti-virus during the installation process. This can speed up the installation process.
5. Also make sure that you installed all prerequisites softwares :
- SQL Server 2005 Analysis Service ADMOD.NET (32 or 64 bits, depending of your system)
- MS XML 4.0 SP2
- Microsoft Report Viewer
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility (32 or 64 bits, depending of your system)
- Additional Microsoft IIS 7.0 Rôle : Management Tools (+ all of sub-components / roles) ; Health and Diagnostics (+ all of sub-components / roles) ; Security (+ all of sub-components / roles).
6. Make sure you use the right versions of AntiXss dll / Amenuy PDF and xceedzip.dll (should be fine here as it's checked by the install setup before the step you are blocking on).
Good Luck

What I wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install

The truth is that I am on my FIFTH Lion Server install on the same box this week. While I was working on #4, I went ahead and submitted a ticket with Apple and arranged a timeslot for this morning to work with them to help me past my struggles with Lion Server. This post is the result of that experience. Big props to Apple support techs Chuck and Don - you know who you are!
What I Wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install
1. Do NOT migrate user accounts, apps, and files, until AFTER you have the Server set up and working correctly.
- This one tip, which is brilliantly simple, would have saved me four very long days of head bashing.
2. Server Admin Tools are mandatory.
- The first time around I used the Server App to configure the system (after an upgrade install, and subsequently after a clean install + migration).
- Server Admin allows you to set up the foundation of your server - which it NEEDS!
- DNS - configure a local, pseudo domain for your server if you're doing this at home. Something like "mynet.private" - if you don't, your SSL certificates can get all jacked up, your clients will not trust your certs. This breaks a lot of stuff.
3. Do NOT accept the mDNS .local domain suffix for your Server
- At each step, if something auto-fills your server name as name.local reject it, and use the fully qualified domain name that you set up above (server.mynet.private).
- If you do not do this, anything that requires certificates could/will have big problems.
4. Enable services one at a time. Reboot after EACH major phase past the core Lion install.
- Base install ... Server install. REBOOT
- DNS configuration. REBOOT
- validate your host name - I needed to force a 'changeip' command because there was a problem with the HOSTNAME retaining the mdns .local domain name.
- OD Master config. REBOOT
- Set up Podcast Producer (which will also setup your Xgrid). REBOOT
5. Take images of your hard drive as you go.
- Once I got the core server installed, the basic services above, I rebooted and held the option key, then restarted on the Recovery HD image.
- Use Disk Utility to take a snapshot image of your hard disk so you can get back to this wonderful place of everything working! It's cheap insurance, and adds a bit of extra time, but is well worth it. If you leave the default settings alone (the 'compressed' one in particular) it will use as little space as possible. My server at this stage of configuration created a 4GB disk image.
6. Use the Migration Assistant After the above
- Now you can migrate your apps
- Migrate your users
- etc.
If you use the Migration option while you're installing the server, or if you upgrade on top of your Snow Leopard (or whatever), I can almost guarantee you that you are in for a world of hurt.
I struggled through all kinds of issues with files having embedded information, scattered throughout all the various subsystems, that gummed up my installation and would case all manner of the flakey Lion Server behavior that you read about ("Error Reading Configuration").
If you want to use Podcast Producer, or any of the Profile Manager features, the above methodology was the only way that I could get them to work. Often times I'd have everything working, then reboot and it would break. After I did the above, the system is as solid as a rock.
Today, I love Lion Server. Yesterday I was cursing it.
Best of luck!!

There are 2 distinct apps in Lion Server.... Podcast (in Server app) and Podcast Producer (Server admin which is deemed legacy from SNS). Podcast uses Podcast Publisher instead of Podcast Capture to produce, edit and submit to Podcast app. Podcast doesn't requre Xgrid where PCP did. The two don't mix.
It's as clear as mud in all the documentation about this.
We're finding that Podcast Publisher has much more flexibility that Podcast Capture (edit, episodes & more), can use existing workflow from PCP, doesn't require xgrid, and podcasts can easily be managed by non-IT people via the Podcast wiki as opposed to the CLI pcast commands to edit & modify PCP feeds.
Hope this helps.

SCSM Management Server install error

Hi All
I have a curious error with regards to an SCSM 2012 R2 Management Server install to a Windows Server 2012 with local SQL Server 2012 Standard); the SCSM 2012 R2 Data warehouse Server installed fine on a separate server. I've checked that the install
account has full SQL, Local and Domain Admins (for install), I've also fired the install from an elevated command prompt but with same error, I've also checked that PowerShell is set to Unrestricted. There is also mention of a Timeout in the below error,
which has lead me to think it could possibly be SQL SPN issue, however please see below and let me know if anyone has seen this before \ any suggestions welcome!
The error I'm seeing in the MSI log is as follows:

Thanks Thomas
Yep had checked permissions, see below. Any others that I may have over looked that you can think of?
1. Login \ install account as local Admin on the Server
2. Login \ install account has full SQL SysAdmin rights, was also used for installing the SQL Instance locally
3. Checked account in AD so that it is ok for Kerberos Delegation
One thing is that I have specified this account for all account options during install (since its a test environment), in production would usually create distinct accounts, is this likely to be an issue though?
Will attempt install again but use Local System etc instead of specifying my domain account just to check \ see if error changes.
Kind Regards
Andrew

OUI patch install hangs, files being used by another application

Hi when a patch install hangs, and the OUI error message is that files needing to be reinstalled are being used by another application, how can you identify which files or processes are responsible so that they can be shut down? All normal Oracle services and DTC are shut down already.
This is patch 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4 (from 10.2.0.3) which includes the April CPU on a Win32 server.

Please check any oracle service is still on ..
need to shutdown listener/oracle service .. and other db service belongs to Oracle.
You can download windows process explorer and check for any oracle process and kill those and then apply CPU

Mac mini server install DVD - install on a different computer

I bought a Mac mini server (= a Mac mini with a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server pre-installed) a while ago. I am planning to install Lion Server on the same Mac Mini and get rid of the Snow Leopard installation DVD. My question is, can the DVD that came with the Mac mini be used to install the server OS on a different computer (another Mac mini or iMac etc.)? or is it somehow tied to the original Mac mini?
Thanks!

Install discs included with a Mac are only able to install on the same model Mac. However historically Mac OS X Server install discs are not limited in the same way. (Remember there is no such thing as a Lion install disc.)
The server install disc is more typically limited in being an older version of Mac OS X e.g. 10.6.3 and thus not able to boot and install on the latest model Macs. It is however possible to boot and install on an older Mac e.g. an older Mac mini but install on to an external hard disk which might even be the internal hard disk of another Mac connected via FireWire Target Disk Mode. You can then run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server Combo update to update it to the latest Snow Leopard Server version which will then boot successfully on all the current Macs including those that have only ever shipped with Lion.
Since a DVD disk takes very little space I would suggest you don't throw it away.

64 bit OEL install hangs at installing dogtail in OVM 2.2

I recently upgraded my server to OVM 2.2 and swapped out the dual core AMDs to quad core AMDs at the same time.
Since then I have been unable to create any 64 bit OEL servers. In every instance the install hangs when Installing dogtail-0.6.1-2.el5.noarch
This used to work at 2.1.5 and I can deploy the existing templates, but they are OEL 5.3.

2 new updates
1) I get the same errors when trying a command line install
2) I can successfully create fully virtualised VMs
So if all else fails I can create fully virtualised VMs and then convert them, which is a bit of a pain but will at least give me working templates.

How to set up Group Policy without any server installed

How to set up Group Policy on Win8 without any server installed?
I have set up 50 users on LAN and want to push softwares via one common point. From google I found to deploy Software using Group Policy. But then Group Policy occurs in Servers and I don't have any server set up.

Hello,
a Domain requires at least one Windows server OS machine which has Active Directory installed.
As previous already mentioned from SenneVL this also requires that computers are added to the domain and that you create user accounts in Active Directory users and computers which stores the account information in the Active directory database.
In your case with single computers each machine has its own database(SAM) which stores passwords etc. this is different in a domain.
Each computer has a local policy which will be overwritten from centrally managed policies from the domain.
"The common point would be my PC (Admin PC) ."
This machine can not be used for your needs with software installation for 50 computers.
"How To Use the Group Policy Editor to Manage Local Computer Policy."
This is about the local machine and you cannot manage them for other computers from your Admin PC.
"DOMAIN part: By default Microsoft takes everyone on Workgroup. Is that not a default DOMAIN? or should I make one lets say "ABC" on every PC ?"
NO, this is NOT a domain.

How to monitor MySQL Server installed in Windows Server using Nagios

You can do this via NSClient as Gary posted. The NSClient is a communications system that allows nagios to send commands to a target system over the nsclient protocol and they are executed on the remote system. You will still have to build some kind of vbscript or plugin to run on the target system to do the actual query to check on mysql.There are other options to. If you enable snmp on your target computer you can use a few nagios plugins to query the snmp agent on the target computer to see if a service is running. To do this via snmp you will need this plugin "check_snmp_process.pl" fromthis site.Your check command will look something like this:check_win_process:= check_snmp_process.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$USER6$" -n "$ARG1$" -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$The service definition will be like this:check_win_process!sqlservr!0!0This will check...

I installed Nagios Core in my Ubuntu workstation 10.04 for me to learn something new in my craft. I use this now to monitor our Windows Server 2008 with MySQL server installed as well as our Datalink Switch (DGS-1210-24). I searched on google on how to monitor a MYSQL server installed in Windows server using Nagios Core but i could not seem to find any. Could anybody who's expert in Nagios give me steps on how to do so. Thanks. All i found in google were steps in monitoring mysql installed in linux and nothing in windows server.
