Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

E Business Suite 11i Server Spec for Linux?

Does anyone know, or can suggest possibilities, of a server spec for 11i on Linux. This is for a small company installation of 11i.
Where can I go to ansewer questions like this?
What Linux distributions are supported for 11i?
I was thinking of multiple CPU's, highpoint raid controllers to give RAID 0+1, and 1 or 2 Gb of memory.
thanks
Dave Darrall.

Jimmy,
Our E-business suite 11i has been running on the application tiers RHEL 4, due to the requirement to support large memory configurations on a 32-bit system. Is it true that from RHEL 5, the “hugemem” kernel which achieves this 32-bit memory scalability has been deprecated in favour of the use of 64-bit kernels?
Your 11i application tier will be limited to 32-bit even if you install 32-bit OS on x86-64 hardware.
Our Oracle 11g database is running on RedHat Linux 5.8. Is E-Business suite 11i (application tiers) certified to run on RHEL 5.8?
Yes.
Also for future planning, is E-Business suite 12 (application tiers) certified to run on which versions of RedHat?
Please see:
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 761566.1)
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)
Thanks,

Server Specs for SLES and GW 12

I need to look into a new server to put SLES and GroupWise 2012 on it. I am having trouble finding server specs for this, so I was hoping to get a little advice. GW will be the only thing on this box, one PO with about 150 users. Hoping to build something or purchase something that isn't too expensive due to budget restraints.
Thanks

I work for a small non profit organization and we only have one server, never found the need for virtualized servers.

If this is going to be a dedicated physical setup (you are not planning
to run GroupWise on a virtualised server) you should not need a big
budget to find a decent server for those 150 users.
IMO, a dual core CPU with 4 GB of RAM would seem quite sufficient in
this case. Getting a proper disk controller (with a true hardware raid
handling if you are looking for a raid setup) & decent disks that can
handle the I/O required is important too.
The A brand entry level servers that I've seen easily meat this
requirement. Do make sure it's suitable for 64bit.
In any case, GroupWise 2012 has about the same requirements version 8
would demand.
I'm curious, you are not already virtualising servers?

Server Specs for crystal reports server

Hi,
I am a prospect Crystal Reports Server customer. I am looking to find out Server Specs for a typical 10 CAL Crystal Reports Server deployment. The information for minimum spec seems to be widely available but not for a Spec for good performance.
Thanks in Advance

My recommendation is to work with an SAP pre-sales consultant who will be able to provide "truer to life" guidelines on RAS sizing. Generally, you're looking to accommodate ~ 30-60 concurrent report events on a single RAS CPU.
Of course, report size (data stored within in, # pages, etc) all get factored into estimating memory requirements and goes back to making use of a pre-sales consultant for this purpose. Additional factors include deploying a multi-RAS configuration and other layouts to optimize your needs. They definitely have what you need - it's a matter of reaching out to them.
Good luck.

Best Hardware Server Specs for Wsus to run close to 3000 Clients

Hello Team,
I am currently configuring a Wsus server 2012 for my company. I am looking forward to buy a Dell rack server and would like to take your input on what is the best server specs I could go for. I am intending to use a San-box to store Wsus content but still
would need the best spec to run it without any outage. Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance.
Many Thanks
Many Thanks Krish

I am currently configuring a Wsus server 2012 for my company. I am looking forward to buy a Dell rack server and would like to take your input on what is the best server specs I could go for.
This is documented in the WSUS Deployment Guide
System Requirements article.
But the *BEST* specs you could go for would be whatever you can afford to buy .... which may also be gross overkill for a 3000-node WSUS server.
Load tests from 2007 are documented in the
WSUS Capacity Requirements article in the WSUS3 SP1 Deployment Guide. In short, for 3,000 clients you need a 1.5GHz vCPU and 2GB RAM.

Interesting. I'll read those later after I finish the agenda for a meeting I'm having tomorrow. I've ran FreeNAS and Nexentastor in several scenarios over the years and have NEVER had a failure.
Then you've not run into the scenario that makes them risky. :) It's not that they fail "more", it is that they add no value over other options (like FreeBSD) but add some risk or cost (Nexentastor is not cheap at all.)
If no other products existed, they would be fine. The issue is that slightly better, otherwise identical products exist making the NAS OS product type never make sense to deploy.
For example, if FreeBSD itself didn't exist,...

Why VMware, this seems like an odd choice today.Why three hosts (this might be an obvious capacity need, but should be checked.)Why HA? Have you done the groundwork for this? HA should be an extremely rare need. This is a red flag not because it is impossible but because it is so unlikely. HA is ruled out as a need due to the SAN. So something is certainly wrong in this case. The two can't go together at this scale.
SAN is, of course, out of the question with only three hosts and of course cannot exists with HA.

I am not going to really make a judgement on your specs as I don't really think you can do it over a forum it requires much more depth in understanding on how the system would be used.
Though looking at the specs for the essbase server, are you considering storing the data on the local disk, if so I would consider looking at getting more space as you could easily hit that amount if you have a number of large applications on there.
Other than that it looks ok for a number of planning applications, you may have to increase the ram if you are going to have quite a few planning applications running on a 64bit platform and want to include any other products, once again its hard to make judgements and you will probably be fine it is a ok spec.

Looking for server requirements for Captivate 5

My organization wants to install Captivate 5 on 2 desktops and publish the courseware to a server that's accesible from our intranet for students. Does anyone have any server specs for an organization of 2,000 employees that can support mandatory yearly JCAHO and OSHA requirements as well as ongoing training classes for nurses and patients? Thanks.

a better question would be is it possible to run an executable directly on an html page. i could put my chat program in a directory on geocities, and then run it from there.
any ideas?

Where to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint?

The environment is SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Edition and SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition.
SQL Server 2012 SP2 Enterprise Edition is installed as default instance on a dedicated box.   All the features are selected in the Feature Selection windows during installation (see image).
Now, I need to install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint.   Should it be installed on the same dedicated box? If I understand correctly, I need to select the SQL Server PowerPivot for SharepPoint option and uncheck
the checkbox Add SQL Server Database Relational Engine Services to this installation.   Does this option also install SSAS? Since there is already an existing SSAS, will that cause problem?

Hi PcSQL66,
To install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint, you need to select SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint
on the Setup Role page. Please refer to the screenshot below.
And if you have a SSAS instance installed in your server, install SQL Server PowerPivot for SharePoint will install another SSAS instance.
For the detail information, please refer to the link below.

Can someone help me with optimal specs for a 2012 R2 server migration from 2003 R2?

My specs for the Windows Server 2003 R2 which is our file server are:
Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPU's), ~2.4GHz Processor types are x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~2399 Mhz Physical Memory is 2 GB RAM Virtual Memory is 4 GB We have 6 fixed drives in place. They all range from 300 GB to 1 TB in total space.
We have two roles on the file server in place which are File Server and WINS Server. We have QuickBooks running on it and a bunch of random smaller applications as well.
When it comes to purchasing servers, we're open to either getting all the parts and building it from the ground up or a built machine. So my question is when getting Server 2012 R2, based on what I said, what hardware should I be getting? If you need more information,
please don't hesitate to ask.
Also, if you know where I could find quality documentation on the actual migration process for a file server between 2003 R2 and 2012 R2, please let me know.
Thank you for reading. ^_^

Hi,
Since Microsoft is ending support for Windows Server 2003 R2 mid-2015, there are a bunch of resources. To partially answer your question. I came across the following blog by Jose Barreto that might be able to help.

Server Sizing for Flash Interactive Media 3

Hello,
I can't get anyone in sales to answer this question. Specs
say any Windows 2003 32bit OS and recommends 4MB RAM. But I would
like to put a powerful server dedicated to this function but don't
know if this software is capable of Hyperthreading. I can have one
or come CPU's all with multiple cores. Likewise I could install
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and put in a lot more memory.
Obviously I don't want to throw money into processors,
Enterprise OS or more RAM if this software won't take advantage of
it.
Any help?
Thank you?

Okay here is an answer to my own post based upon what I've
learned.
A single License of FIM3 will handle up to (2) physical
processors limited to Dual Core. You cannot use (2) CPU's with Quad
Core processors, this would require an additional server license on
the same physical server.
FIM3 was also designed to minimize memory use. 4GB is
recommended but 8GB RAM is preferred. The later of course will
require an upgrade to Windows 2003 OS Enterprise Version.
My configuration below on a single server will handle
streaming up to 1000 concurrent users with no problem.
Dell 2950 2U rack mount
(2) Dual Core Intel Xeon 3.0's with 4MB cache each. 1333Mhz
Buss.
Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Version, 32bit.
8GB DDR2 ECC Fully buffered RAM, 677Mhz.
(4) 300GB 15k SAS hard drives in RAID 10 configuration (600GB
effective use).
Hope this helps all who search for server specs.

What is the best VM specs for a 2 Tier SharePoint Environment for 100 users?

We are looking to set up SharePoint Environment 2013 and SQL 2012 on two VMs for around 100 Users. At this point, its to develop a intranet portal for the company to post HR polocies and share info. BI, worlflows, and content management will come later on.
It's a virtual environment running on Hyper V Windows Server 2012 Standard with
32GB RAM, 4X300GB 15 SAS Drive, RAID 10, Partition C:80GB D: 477GB
Would the following be okay for the VMs in a production environment?
SharePoint VM:
RAM: 18GB?
Hard Drive space: 150GB
Processor: 64bit, 4 cores.
OR RAM 14GB instead??
SQL VM:
RAM: 10GB
Hard Drive Space: 150GB
Processor: 64bit, 4 cores.
OR RAM 14GB instead???
Hyper V host: ?? (Not too if 4GB will suffice.)
RAM: 4GB ???
Please advise.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks guys this has been really helpful.
I got another identical server approved so I was wondering if the following specs will do if LOB applications are installed on the SharePoint Infrastructure in the future.
Virtual Machine 1: Web Server + App Server
SharePoint Server:
RAM: 25GB Processor: 64bits. 4-cores Disk space: 160GB
Virtual Machine 2:
SQL
RAM: 20GB Processor: 64bits,4-cores Disk space: 160GB
Would this be overkilling it or should I just increase the RAM to 25GB on the SharePoint Server and leave the SQL as 16Gb?
Just to give an idea the portal consists of 1 corporate site and about 8 departmental sites which is not the concern as the 16GB for SP and 16 GB would be fine (I would assume). I am however concern if the old specs would be okay when the LOB applications,
workflows, BI are installed in the future.
Thanks again,
AR.

Minimum Spec for FCE4: cheapest Mac Mini?

I'm looking to get a Mac Mini primarily to record endoscopic video (s-video) via a Canopus ADVC 55 using Final Cut Express. Looking at the minimum requirements for FCE4 it seems the cheapest model with 2GB RAM should be way more than adequate. The specs don't even mention hard drive speed.
However, by todays standards 2GB is fairly minimal, and the 5400 rpm 2.5" hard drives are quite slow. I have used FCE4 on an original white MacBook and frequently got dropped frames when recording (which lost the entire recording each time), a problem that disappeared when I upgraded to a MacBook Pro.
If used purely for recording, and if the hard drive is regularly cleared (video files moved to a Mac Pro for processing) will there be any problems with only 2GB of RAM, or the speed of the hard drive?
Because this is to go into an operating theatre where space is limited, I would prefer that I don't have the hassle or expense of an external Firewire hard drive (and I'm guessing the single Firewire port may be an issue).
Looking at the spec for the Mac Mini Server it looks much more suitable, 2 7400 rpm hard drives, 4GB RAM - but cost wise I think will be harder to persuade my employer!

I'm afraid I cannot really answer your question as I don't need / use the features of the snow leopard server software. Hardware wise the differences add more ram, 2 hard drives (and they're faster) but no optical drive (with the option of connecting one externally). Other than that it comes with snow leopard server which allows you to use it as a normal mac, but additionally can be set up as mail server, file server, and a bunch of utilities to help manage this (not sure how accurate my understanding of the differences between the software).
Incidentally the normal version of snow leopard has a certain amount of server functionality anyway, eg filesharing, web hosting etc. I think the server edition mainly provides lots of tools to take this further.
It definitely would require configuring, and you would need other stuff like a router to connect the computers together which would also need configuring. But not much different to linking a bunch of normal macs together (if you're usinng it as a file server). I might be wrong but I don't think the connected computers can run on it's OS like some of these dumb terminal systems can.
