SMSY - System marked as Virtual System (TMS)

Hi Experts!
We got an issue in our system landscape. In tx: SMSY our developement system gets marked as "Virtual System (TMS)" (tab header data) and we can not locate the reason for this. We can not use ChaRM while it is marked as virtual.
After reading system data remote (manually) it gets updated and is not marked as virtual anymore.
However, this morning it was marked as virtual again and I got no idea where this comes from.
Any help would be really apprecaited!
Thanks.
/cheers
Edit: The F1-help did not tell anything new. What I could imagine: there is a job updating this information and the time the job ran there was a problem connecting to the system. Hence it got marked as virtual. But this is jsut a guess.

Hi, check how your system is defined in the SLD. The daily "refresh" of the systems data stored in SMSY coming from the SLD could be your problem.

Activate CHaRM using Virtual Systems in Landscape

Is it possible to activate a CHaRM project against a landscape that
contains virtual systems?
We currently have a Development system (DEV) with a virtual Test system
(QAS) and virtual Production system (PRD). These systems are marked as
Virtual in TMS and SMSY System Landscape. We have added these systems t
o
the Logical Components and created a new Solution Manager project and
want to activate CHaRM against this scenario. .
The TMS routes are defined with Dev -> QAS(virtual) -> PRD(virtual). Is
this scenario possible? Do the standard CHaRM activation checks (RFC's,
Authorizations, etc) get bypassed because these systems are virtual?
When activating CHaRM, we still receive the error that no consolidation
system exists for our Dev system even though the TMS routes have been
defined properly. However, since these systems are virtual, we cannot
add client information to them.
Thanks

A virtual system cannot export any TR. So any request imported to QAS cannot be exported

STMS Configuration - Change Virtual System with Real System

Dear all,
My system, if I go in the transaction STMS in DEV system, was configureted in the following way:
DEV => QA => PROD (Virtual System)
Now, I want to change the PROD Virtual System in PROD Real System.
How Can procede?
Can you explain step-by-step the process?
Because the system was configureted from other people, and I'm new to using the STMS.
Thanks in advanced for your help.

Giulio

Hi,
After the planned system is physically installed it is time to replace the Virtual System with the realized system.
The procedure for the same is as under:
1) Delete the Virtual System from the transport domain
. Login into Transport Domain system client 000
· Using STMS got to Overview=> Systems
· Chose SAP Virtual System=> Delete (confirm)
· Distribute configuration change.
As soon as the configuration change is distributed, the virtual system is deleted. The import queue for this system in TMS disappears but it is available as import buffer at the operating systems level.
Now add the new (physical system) to the transport domain:
If STMS is configured as standalone system then first delete STMS configuration on PRD system
login into PRD system client 000. (delete STMS configuration if present.)
run stms -> it's ask for set up STMS -> click on other configurition (F6)
Target Host -> host name of domain controller ( host name of transport domain system)
System number -> Instance number of domain controller ( instance number of transport domain system)
Now,
Go to the Transport Domain Controller and accept the system. (As the import buffer is available at the operating system level, no change requests will be lost)
Distribute the configuration changes.

Virtual system

hi,
what is the importance of virtual system...

Hi,
Virtual Systems are SAP systems that are planned by not yet physically present. In order to subsequently replace a SAP system by a Virtual System use the same SID for both.
You can create a Virtual System through Tramsport Management System tcode STMS.
Why do I need a Virtual System?
In order to replicate the transport routes of the planned system landscape and to ensure that the import queues of the subsequent system already exist.
During SAP Upgrades or when initailly a sand box or development system is available it is required to create a Virtual System in order to store the development and customizing work in the import queues of the respective planned systems.
This is how a Virtual System is created.
1) Log on to the Transport Domain Controller with a user id having full transport authorizations.
2) Using tcode STMS go to Overview=> Systems=>
3) In the Systems Overview choose SAP System=> Create=> Virtual System
4) In the dialog box TMS => Configure Virtual System, enter the name of the SAP system and a description text. Also specify an SAP system as the Communications system for the Virtual System. (By default the Transport Domain Controller is chosen).This system must be already a part of the transport domain. It cannot be a Virtual System or an external system.
5) Distribute the configuration change.
No RFC addresses can be created for virtual systems, so RFCu2019s are accessed using the transport directory of an already existing SAP system. This system will act as the Communications Systems and the Virtual System will have to always belong to the same transport group as the assoicated Communication System
After the planned system is physically installed it is time to replace the Virtual System with the realized system.
The procedure for the same is as under:
1) Delete the Virtual System from the transport domain
· Using STMS got to Overview=> Systems
· Chose SAP System=> Delete (confirm)
· Distribute configuration change.
As soon as the configuration change is distributed, the virtual system is deleted. The import queue for this system in TMS disappears but it is available as import buffer at the operating systems level.
Now add the new (physical system) to the transport domain:
1) Initialize the Transport Management System on the real SAP System and include the system in the transport domain.
2) Go to the Transport Domain Controller and accept the system. (As the import buffer is available at the operating system level, no change requests will be lost)
3) Distribute the configuration changes.
Hope this helps you.

Change Request Management: virtual systems

Hi!
We would like to set up Change Request Management (ChaRM) approach for 3 +1 systems:
DEV --> VT1 (virtual system) --> QAS --> PRD
Questions:
1) Are there some restrictions implementing ChaRM with virtual systems?
2) We would like to use in parallel non-ChaRM transports and we have there
an automatic transport twice a day.
Will this approach be a problem for the ChaRM?
3) Which transport routes will be used by ChaRM?
a) one for transportof the SAP objects (e.g. "SAP") and one standard transport route (e.g. Z<SID>) or
b) do I have the possibility to choose the transport routes?
Any helpful information will be very appreciated and awarded by points.
H. Thomasson

I am very sorry for the mess I did trying to post my message. I was not able to post it.
Can you please give me any solutions to the problem reported?

How to include virtual system in transport domain

Hi all,
I have my development and quality servers running on one instance.at the time of configuring STMS,i have made the transport domain and included both the systems.Also i have configured production system as the virtual system.Now i have installed the production system on a different host with a different transport directory and want to include this system in the transort domain.in a way the virtual system will be replaced.
How should i do it.
Regards
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
If you want to include a system in your existing transport domain, just login into the system, in T-code STMS you will get a POP UP choose other configuration ,it will ask for-:
System
Description
Target Host
System Number
Save the settings and wait for some time it will automatically added in your Transport Domain.
Reward Points if find it useful.
Thanks,
Prashant.

Virtual systems in SMSY? (Change Control Mgmt. & Change Request Mgmt.)

Dear all,
We plan to implement Change Control Management (CCM) and Change Request Management (Charm).
At the current stage of the project, we do not have all satellite systems ready (e.g. production system is missing, Dev and QA are setup).
Nevertheless we want to start setup of Charm and CCM.
We understand that we have to "register" the missing systems in the STMS as virtual systems.
But how do we do that in the SMSY?
Do we enter the data manually? or can we "load" the data out of the STMS?
And what are the typical traps and errors we can make (i.e. hopefully avoid making). Anyone to share his/her experience?
Thanks and Regards,
Jan

Select your SAP XXX (like SAP ERP or SAP Netweaver)
Click on your SID
On the right hand side you go to the tab "Header Data"
Here you can aktivate planned or production
If you are unable to see the planned button that this is because your setting for data source is not set to manual.
Than please click on the button "Other object" (SHift + F5), for System enter your SID and click on the lock "Set Datasource to Manual input CTRL+F9)
This will set your SID-System to manual adjustment - just confirm.
Than you can mark your system as planned
You will be able to add clients manually yes.

How to replace the virtual system as the real system in the TMS?

Hi,
I have a standard 3 systems TMS, which is 1 development system (real system, transport domain) and 2 virtual system(QAS and PRD).
And now, I will install the QAS system and replace the virtual system as the real one, How can I do in TMS?
I should delete the old TMS and rebuild the TMS with 1 DEV, 1 QAS and 1 virtual PRD? or just replace the QAS as the real one? What the operation should I do in t-code:STMS?
Many thanks.
BR,
Randy

Hi,
Do it as follows.
1. Remove transport routes (i think it is not mandatory)
2. Remove your Virtual system that you want to replace with physical system
3. Include the Physical system into Domain and accept it from Domain Controller
4. Configure the transport routes.You can see all the transports that were in the import queue of virtual system are now in the import queue of the Physical system that you added.
Only condition is, both Virtual System and Physical System should have same SID.
All the above will be done through STMS
Thanks,
Giri

TMS - Virtual system - Production Server

Hi,
I know that at the same time no need to install the all server and configure for TMS. So we are using Virtual system.
My question is: How the production server is attached instead of Virtual system ?
2. How the Domain controller is transferred from Devlopment server to Production server ?

Hi,
how to move the domain controller from dev to prod server ?
for that you need to reconfigure TMS.
first delete TMS configuration from DEV system 000 client.
then reconfigure TMS.
to setup three system landscape do following.
prerequisites:
-> set one system as domain controller. in your case it is PRD.
-> Add SAP QAS system to domain controller
-> Add SAP DEV system to domain controller.
you can add QAS system to domain controller using following steps.
login into QAS system client 000. ( stms is not configures that i assumed)
run stms -> it's ask for set up STMS -> click on other configurition (F6)
Target Host -> host name of domain controller ( host name of DEV system)
System number -> Instance number of domain controller ( instance number of DEV system)
same way add DEV system.
now login into domain controller system in client 000 ( you are set PRD as domain controller)
run STMS -> overview -> transport routes
form configuration -> standard configuration -> three system in groups
assign SID of DEV,QAS and PRD system.
save and distribute the configuration.

TimeMachine leaving out virtual systems

During backup I wondered that it was so fast. Cant be since I have worked with and therefore edited several 10GB plus virtual systems. So i checked the files at the TimeMachine Drive vs. the iMac-Disk, user/Tom/virtualBox VMs.
It seems the TimeMachine is not backupping Virtual Box systems, only their folders. This is not a file size issue, the files since as well the big .vdi as well the smaller vbox / vbox-prev files are left out during backup.
Any idea what went wrong and how to fix it?

Solman configration for system landscape having virtual buffers

Hi All,
We are having a system landscape with virtual buffers in the TMS.TMS transport path look like this
*Dev -> Virtual Buffer -> Quality -> Virtual Buffer -> Production*
We need to configure ChaRM for this landscape. We are able to get virtual system details in Solman and created the project. But ChaRM is failing while we try to import the transport requests to Quality.
Can you please guide us to configure solman for this landscape.
Thanks in Advance,
Shaju

hi,
if the goal is to have a better control of what is going to QA
the move to the QA happens anyway in 2 steps
you might want to control the release in your development (via solman). In this case just control the action "test transport"
you might want to control the import in QA. In this cas you manually import in QA
I don't see the added value to have an extra virtual system
SOLMAn will support your process with real system. You can send to a virtual system why not (we are using this technique for other reason), but it is a dead end
TMS won't support your landscape scheme because the move of a transport to the next system is related to the import from the previous system. If it is a virtual buffer you won't have the possibility to import it virtually.
Unless a Guru knows a magic trick I am convinced a virtual path won't work in our case.
I hope my explanations were enough to explain the constrains we have
best regards

Windows Server 2012 - Hyper-V - Cluster Sharded Storage - VHDX unexpectedly gets copied to System Volume Information by "System", Virtual Machines stops respondig

We have a problem with one of our deployments of Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V with a 2 node cluster connected to a iSCSI SAN.
Our setup:
Hosts - Both run Windows Server 2012 Standard and are clustered.
HP ProLiant G7, 24 GB RAM. This is the primary host and normaly all VMs run on this host.
HP ProLiant G5, 20 GB RAM. This is the secondary host that and is intended to be used in case of failure of the primary host.
We have no antivirus on the hosts and the scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off.
iSCSI SAN:
QNAP NAS TS-869 Pro, 8 INTEL SSDSA2CW160G3 160 GB i a RAID 5 with a Host Spare. 2 Teamed NIC.
Switch:
DLINK DGS-1210-16 - Both the network cards of the Hosts that are dedicated to the Storage and the Storage itself are connected to the same switch and nothing else is connected to this switch.
Virtual Machines:
3 Windows Server 2012 Standard - 1 DC, 1 FileServer, 1 Application Server.
1 Windows Server 2008 Standard Exchange Server.
All VMs are using dynamic disks (as recommended by Microsoft).
Updates
We have applied the most resent updates to the Hosts, VMs and iSCSI SAN about 3 weeks ago with no change in our problem and we continually update the setup.
Normal operation:
Normally this setup works just fine and we see no real difference in speed in startup, file copy and processing speed in LoB applications of this setup compared to a single host with two 10000 RPM Disks. Normal network speed is 10-200 Mbit, but occasionally
we see speeds up to 400 Mbit/s of combined read/write for instance during file repair.
Our Problem:
Our problem is that for some reason a random VHDX gets copied to System Volume Information by "System" of the Clusterd Shared Storage (i.e. C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\System Volume Information).
All VMs stops responding or responds very slowly during this copy process and you can for instance not send CTRL-ALT-DEL to a VM in the Hyper-V console, or for instance start task manager when already logged in.
This happens at random and not every day and different VHDX files from different VMs gets copied each time. Some time it happens during daytime wich causes a lot of problems, especially when a 200 GB file gets copied (which take a lot of time).
What it is not:
We thought that this was connected to the backup, but the backup had finished 3 hours before the last time this happended and the backup never uses any of the files in System Volume Information so it is not the backup.
An observation:
When this happend today I switched on ShadowCopy (previous files) and set it to only to use 320 MB of storage and then the Copy Process stopped and the virtual Machines started responding again. This could be unrelated since there is no way to see
how much of the VHDX that is left to be copied, so it might have been finished at the same time as I enabled ShadowCopy (previos files).
Our question:
Why is a VHDX copied to System Volume Information when scheduled ShadowCopy (previous version of files) is switched off? As far as I know, nothing should be copied to this folder when this functionis switched off?

Hallo Lawrence!
Thankyou for youre reply, some comments to help you and others who read this thread:
First of all, we use Windows Server 2012 and the VHDX as I wrote in the headline and in the text in my post. We have not had this problem in similar setups with Windows Server 2008 R2, so the problem seem to be introduced in Windows Server 2012.
These posts that you refer to seem to be outdated and/or do not apply to our configuration:
The post about Dynamic Disks:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941151(v=WS.10).aspx is only a recommendation for Windows Server 2008 R2 and the VHD format. Dynamic VHDX is indeed recommended by Microsoft when using Windows Server 2012 (please look in the optimization guide
for Windows Server 2012).
Infact, if we use fixed VHDX then we would have a bigger problem since fixed VHDX are generaly larger then Dynamic Disks, i.e. more data would be copied and that would take longer time = the VMs would be unresponsive for a longer time.
The post "What's the deal with the System Volume Information folder"
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2003/11/20/55764.aspx is for Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 and some things has changed since then. for instance In Windows Server 2012, Shadow Copies cannot be controlled by going to Control panel -> System.
Instead you right-click on a Drive (i.e. a Volume, for instance the C drive/Volume) in Computer and then click "Configure Shadow Copies".
Windows Server 2008 R2 Backup problem
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsbackup/thread/0fc53adb-477d-425b-8c99-ad006e132336 - This post is about the Antivirus software trying to scan files used during backup that exists in the System Volume Information folder and we do not
have any antivirus software installed on our hosts as I stated in my post.
Comment that might help us:
So according to “System Volume Information” definition, the operation you mentioned is Volume Shadow Copy. Check event viewer to find Volume Shadow Copy related event logs and post them.
Why?
Furhter investigation suggests that a volume shadow copy is somehow created even though the Schedule for Shadows Copies is turned off for all drives. This happens at random and we have not found any pattern. Yesterday this operation took almost all available
disk space (over 200 GB), but all the disk space was released when I turned on scheduled Shadow Copies for the CSV.
I therefore draw these conclusions:
The CSV Volume has about 600 GB of disk space and since Volume Shadows Copy used 200 GB, or about 33% of the disk space, and the default limit is 10% then I conclude that for some reason the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy did not have any limit (or ignored
the limit).
When I turned on the Schedule I also change the limit to the minimum amount which is 320 MB and this is probably what released the disk space. That is, the unscheduled Volume Shadow Copy operation was aborted and it adhered to the limit and deleted the
Volume Shadow Copy it had taken.
I have also set the limit for Volume Shadow Copies for all other volumes to 320 MB by using the "Configure Shadow Copies" Window that you open by right clicking on a drive (volume) in Computer and then selecting "Configure Shadow Copies...".
It is important to note that setting a limit for Shadow Copy Storage, and disabaling the Schedule are two different things! It is possible to have unlimited storage for Shadow Copies when the Schedule is disabled, however I do not know if this was the case
Before I enabled Shadow Copies on the CSV since I did not look for this.
I now have defined a limit for Shadow Copy Storage to 320 MB on all drives and then no VHDX should be copied to System Volume Information since they are all larger than 320 MB.
Does this sound about right or am I drawing the wrong conclusions?

There is something strange about the limits on the Secondary host!
I have not in any way changed the settings on the Secondary host and as you can see, the Secondary host has a maximum limit of only 35 MB storage on the CSV, but it also shows that this is 10% of the Volume. This is clearly not the case since 10% if 600
GB = 60 GB!
The question is, why does it by default set a too small limit (i.e. < 320 MB) on the CSV and is this the cause of the problem? I.e. is the limit ignored since it is smaller than the smallest amount you can provide using the GUI?
Is the default 35 MB maximum Shadow Copy limit a bug, or is there any logical reason for setting a limit that according to the GUI is too small?

Where do i find cofiles/datafiles for virtual system

Hello,
Here is my setup
at our site there was a development system DEV, and a production virtual system PRD was created.
After everything is ready in DEV we make a system copy to remote production system (PRD)and need to add the transports there, as this is the real life production system. I copy the buffers, but in the cofiles/datafiles i can not find anything in /usr/sap/trans/ in DEV which is the old domain controller and holds sapmnt
Any idea how to solve this?

Dimitar
You may want to check in other directories since you inherited this system.
Also, if you are using Unix, or related OS, it may be possible that /usr/sap/trans was mounted over the local directory containing the cofiles and data files.
You may want to unmount and check locally.
Just a thoughtu2026
Hope this helps.

Creating a virtual system for transport landscape

Hello
We have an isolated system that has transport system set to Local change Requests and would like to transport some of the transports into another system. I found in a thread here that we need to create a virtual system for creating a transport route. Can anyone tell me how to create the virtual system?
Thanks
A.

Hi Aleksandra,
You can create virtual system like below.
Make sure you have configured the domain controller.
Login to the system,client 000 and user with same authorization of sap*
Execute t-code STMS
from the menu Goto overview ->systems
You will get one entry of the domain controller.
Then from that screen from menu sap system -> create ->virtual system.
Provide the data for the sid and description and save your entry,
Then you can configure the root.
Regards
Ashok
