Second Primary Server

Last week I setup a second primary server for redundancy. Everything seemed to work well so I left it alone for several days so everything could sync up. I started getting calls that Vista / 7 logins were very slow, users would press CTRL-ALT-DEL to login and get a blank screen for a few mins before logging in. Once logged in life was good. I checked DNS and everything looked OK both ways. I removed Zen from that server and had a lab of 40 machines refresh then reboot. The problem was gone. Any thoughts on what could cause this?
It's Zen 10.3.3 on a 2008R2 server (both were)
MSSQL 2005 Enterprise for the DB
Thanks for any input!

Thanks for getting back to me guys. It was just a plain install of Zen selecting an exsisting domain and running through the wizard. It placed the server in the servers list in the configuration console. I did not notice if it was hammering the SQL server or not - however about 1/2 of the machines were working perfectly. Would there be any logs I can check anywhere?
Thanks again!

reasons and causing DB performance issues.
Did you install ZRS or something else on that server?

  • Second primary server : something to do on the workstations?

    Hi,
    I have installed a second primary server in the zone, and this server has been moved up in the list of closest server default rules.
    I am about to follow the "Replacing the First Primary Server with the Second Primary Server" procedure. The plan is to decommission the older server.
    However I have a concern about the workstations. The agent on them has been installed from the first primary server, so is there something to do on the workstations so that they will stop connecting to the server from which the agent was installed?
    Another point: both servers are using an external CA, so I guess I don't have to do the "Export the Certificate Authority role" part?
    Thanks,
    Marc Delisle

    There is nothing you "have to do".
    A "zac retr" could be useful, but hard to script.
    In short, if a device ever stops talking to the zone because something
    goes wrong, it will use the details in the "initial-web-service" file to
    recontact the zone. The details in this file are for the server from
    which the agent was installed.

  • Install Second Primary Server in a 11.3.1 FRU1 zone

    Hi I'm having a weird problem with installing a second PS in to a upgraded singel PS zone. I just got the singel server upgraded to 11.3.1 FRU1/SLES11.3 and database on MSSQL 2012.
    That is working great, no issues with the singel server.
    But when I try to install the new server as a PS to the existing zone I get this error, "This version of ZENworks is not compatible with the version (10.3.0) found in the zone"...10.3.0 ???
    I tried to look for any clueds in the ZenServerVersion.xml file after finding TID7014023, https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7014023. The file says 11.3.1 in the file.
    Why do I get the 10.3.0. message and how can I correct this?
    Any Ideas?

    Kkb,
    I can confirm this happens - if you can open a SR with Novell, that's
    the quickest way to get this moving - meanwhile I will report it to
    Novell, also

  • ZCM 11.2 Second Primary - SSL Configuration

    Primary Server 11.2.4MU1 on OES 11SP2 - Running ZCM11.2.4MU1 / DSFW / DNS
    I am attempting to bring up a Second Primary Server. Maybe I am miss reading the documentation, however Each time I attempt the setup and bring the second primary into the "Existing" zone I give it the DNS / IP of the server, the correct Port - 444 In this case, and user / password. It authenticates fine, asks me to import the CA / MGMT Zone Cert. I click yes. Then I am taken to the SSL Configuration page.
    From my reading I believe I should not be taken to this page.... I believe this should only be done if its a new server as the secondary should import and use the primary?
    Currently my Plan was to bring up a secondary Primary and look at doing a DB / Content Migration, as I can not upgrade the current 11.2.4MU1 to 11.3 as install on OES is not supported (any longer).
    I could be a bit discombobulated....
    Thanks
    Patrick

    Never mind.....I forgot about the CSR / Cert generation part of the Zenworks setup...

  • Second Task Server not appearing in the Manager

    I have set up a second Collection and Task Server (W2003 SP2) on a VM. The Collection Server is running fine.
    The Task Server does not appear in the Manager displayer, after refreshes (F5) and rebooting both the Manager and the new Collection/Task Server.
    Following some of the suggestions on this forum, he is my troubleshooting:
    1. I have a local account "ZAMadmin" on both servers that is a local admin account with full rights to the Filestore
    2. Only the TASKSERVER.exe is running; TASKSERVERCORE.exe is not
    3. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the Task Server.
    4. Port 7465 is NOT open when a TELNET 127.0.0.1 7465 (connect failed)
    Any ideas what to check?

    I entered a ticket with Novell Support $, and the issue revolved around installing the Collection Server, then installing the Task Server later on. I guess the "Component Install" isn't entirely true!
    Here is the scenario for anyone else with this problem:
    1. Second Collection Server installs and it grabs new DLLs for the Primary
    2. Task Server installs but can't start because of DLL conflict
    3. Reinstalling the Task Server does not overwrite the DLL, so the same problem
    The fix is stupid and simple:
    Install the Task Server to a new folder. Then it can install all of the DLLs including the shared programs
    I hope this helps someone else avoid misery!

  • ZCM 11.2 new primary server - How do I

    Hi,
    We currently have a ZCM 11.2 install sitting on a Windows Server 2003 32bit. I have a new server running Windows 2008 64bit which I want to move the ZCM install to. I have looked at the various disaster recover scenarios as provided by novells documentation 11.2 disaster recovery reference but dont see in "replacing the primary server with a secondary server" a supported option of going from Windows server 2003 32bit to Windows server 2008 64bit.
    I see this is supported in the replacing primary with a new server (eg same IP etc) but this is not the scenario I wish to follow.
    Is my direction to simply install another copy of 11.2 as a secondary primary? on my 2008 64bit, go into existing management zone, follow the directions in the above reference doc in section 2.1.
    I am wondering though with the secondary primary (2008 64bit) how do I go about moving the internal sybase from the old primary across to the new secondary. It has a reference to how to move the internal to and external sybase but I want the secondary primary (which will be the new primary) to have an internal sybase database like the old primary.
    Any help appreciated.

    Yes, that would Be ideal as it was / is my primary DSFW onsite & DNS. So the new ZCM Box would have a different name & IP.
    My thought was bring up a Second Primary in the exiting ZONE. Get it functioning / updated. (That's been an issue as well, but that will be another thread). Look at doing a DB /Content migration to the new server and shutting down the ZCM services on the old...I am sure I am missing some stuff....
    What other options do we have? I am all ears....I am assuming you / we can not do the "Import/Upgrade" routine to the OVA.

    If so, you will need to rename and change the IP address of one of them.
    We can think through different options.

    Based on your log file the problem appears to be a permission issue. “Failed to connect to the configured SQL database.”

  • Agent Primary Server Failover

    Hi All
    Can someone tell me how the adaptive agent decides to choose which server to connect to?, we have two primary servers in our zone and it always connects to the same one, even when the first primary server is switched off they agent authentication will fail.
    We moved the sybase database from one server to another and still the agent will not authenticate. So we added a DNS round robin so that the second server had the same DNS name as the primary and that kind of works (slow access) but seems like a very dodgy way of getting things to work from the second server.
    So just to clarify:-
    Server1 (First Primary On) When this is on all works well.
    Server1 (First Primary Down) The Second Zone Member Server2 does not work even when it holds the database, the agent still tries to connect to Server1.
    We make a DNS Round Robin so that Server1&Server2 resolve to the DNS of Server1.ourcomany.com it appears to work but seems a bit of a cowboy fix to me, is this really the way we would recover from a primary crash if we did not use remote databases.

    I'm guessing the failure to the 2nd Server is failing when the first server
    is down because that is your Certificate Authority.
    Are you using an Internal or External Cert?

  • CAS server deployment -- Additional Primary server deployment with same site code

    Hi,
    I have an primary site server deployed at one of the location on windows server 2008 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
    I need  to have an additional primary server at same site with OS of windows server 2012 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
    I would need help in how to achieve this.
    If I deploy this will my all endpoints will get an information of new Primary server at same site.
    Regards,
    Deepak Sharma

    To add-on, based on the title of the post, do I understand it correctly that you want to deploy that second primary site in the same hierarchy with the same site code as an existing primary site? If so, that's a huge no-go. Never use the same site code
    twice in the same hierarchy...

  • How to add a second DNS server entry

    Our primary DNS server is having problems (internal system) - we want to keep its listing on our mac server however. We need to add a second DNS server - we don't care what it is, we might want to add 2 additional servers - one internal and one external (google dns for example).
    How do we do this through server admin? Thank you.

    Solved. Added entreis in DNS section of Server Admin. Adjusted DNS entry in network section of system prefs to reflect loopback address. Stopped and restarted DNS. Thanks.

  • Satellite Server traffic v Primary Server traffic

    I recently did a packet trace on a workstation and noticed a lot of traffice going to the primary servers and not just the satellite server.
    I have a 10.3.3 environment with Windows 2003 servers and Full SQL 2005. A Windows XP workstation as a satellite server. That satellite server has Content, Authentication and Collection configures. It also has a Closest Server Rule set to a CIDR /16 IP address.
    I am not sure why, but the workstation seems to hit the primary server first and even another primary server second. Then during login it does seem to hit the satellite server a bit but it hits the primary server just as much and like I said earlier it seems to hit another primary server that isn't configured for that site. I do have content on all Primary servers so I understand it hitting these servers some, but during authentication and during content retrieval I am confused at why it wouldn't be smacking the satellite server to no end and not the primary servers.
    I need to make sure I have satellite servers and primary server configured correctly due to connection issues. Please, any help on configuration would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • FAO: WLS IMR experts, Primary Server Choosing

              Cluster, & Proxy run on the same machine (different IPs though) this is
              just for testing purposes and a chance to get a hang of the admin.
              Ok, lets get to the meat
              Im have two WLS running in a cluster using IMR and accessing some custom
              JSPS that I am using for storing sessions
              and testing IMR. Oh and Im using weblogics HttpClusterProxy servlet
              I was testing fail over when and when I took down the server1, the
              second server naturally took up the slack and retrieved the session info
              and loaded the JSP, so far so good.
              However when I restarted the server1 it immediately became the primary
              server and began once again to take requests.
              is this right?
              I was of the understanding that the 'last server standing' automatically
              became the primary server and retained this status until it was taken
              down.( If this is so , what is going wrong with my config?)
              Or does weblogic reassign the primary server arbitrarily whenever a new
              server joins the cluster.

              Only new requests should be accepted by server 1. You previous request
              should still go to server 2.

              Well, when primary fails, secondary takes over as primary and creates a
              new secondary if a server is available.

              The proxy will start using the new server in the cluster for
              loadbalancing new requests.

  • Primary Server - No Content role all of a sudden

    Hi
    We have ZCM Version 10.3.0 running on SLES10 Servers in our setup.
    We have 2 primary Servers, but all of a sudden the content role has disappeared on the first Server. So if you click Devices | Servers | SLES1 | Content (tab) it returns:
    'No content status to display because device does not have a content role'
    If I click Configuration | Primary Server Replication it only lists the second Server and not the first one.
    Under Configuration | Server Hierarchy we also have the Sat Servers listed under both Primary Servers so nothing has changed.
    My colleague noticed the problem adding a new bundle and we saw disk space on the first Server was around 1.3GB. So I cleared some space and it is now around 10GB free.
    Since then I have created a new bundle and within the ZCC.LOG I have seen the following messages appear:
    06 Mar 2013 08:36:25 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: UNKNOWN
    06 Mar 2013 08:45:28 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: REPLICATION_ALL_SERVERS
    06 Mar 2013 08:49:20 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: REPLICATION_ALL_SERVERS
    06 Mar 2013 09:36:25 ReplicationBaseSet..423 :Current replication mode set to: UNKNOWN
    I have also tried renaming the content-repo folder on SLES1 and it does recreate itself and copy the content back across showing replication is working.
    Finally if I run novell-zenworks-configure -c SystemStatus this error gets returned:

    I would recommend an SR.
    This could happens sometimes on 10.3.0, but was years ago in one of the
    10.3 updates.

  • Communication between the primary server the gateway server

    hallo
    Can I set the directional communication between the primary server the gateway server, so it feels by the following example?
    And if so how?
    Agent
    à GW
    ß GW
    ß MS
    *Agent communicates with GW1 and reported it
    *GW SEND report to GW2
    *GW2 Send the the data to MS
    thanks

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Gateways dont talk to each other. Why you need two GW, with one GW and report to your management servers, this way should work.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/323d5aab-bad4-4c23-b096-27a62757ae31/communications-between-2-gateway-servers-and-2-ms?forum=operationsmanagerdeployment

  • Upgraded ZENworks Primary Server Will Not Refresh

    Good Afternoon,
    I recently upgraded our primary server from ZENworks 11.2-11.3a.
    The upgrade procedure completed with no errors. However, the server will not refresh it's status in the ZENworks Control Center. Control Center continues to report the server as 11.2.0.0. The UI of the Control Center is upgraded. The agent continues to push back the next contact with server time without updating the last contact with server time
    Things I have tried:
    -doing a manual refresh through control center gives a "Connection Failed" error
    -doing a manual refresh with zac ref completes successfully but does not update anything
    -cleared the agent cache using zac cc
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much!
