SP500 tape library - how many server/SAN FC interfaces do I need?

How many server or FC switch interfaces do I need to connect SL500 FC tape library? Let's say we have two FC tape drives installed. Does it mean I need to reserve 3 FC interfaces (one for robot and one for each drive)? Or there is some kind of internal hub/switch which permits to use one FC port to connect them all in a way which is implemented in SL48 library?

Hello,
if one VMWare host should run more then 2 VMs you need a Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition (unlimited versions from Windows VMs on the host) from Windows or 7 Windows Standard licenses (max. 14 VMs).
Keep in mind that processors count into the license requirements.
"...using VMware for high availability..."
This means that you should have at least 2 VMWare hosts which have the RAM and processors to run in caseof hardware problem from the other host ALL VMs.
So you are now need at least 2 Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter licenses or 14 Standard editions.

How many server licenses do I need for SharePoint 2013?

I am new to the concept of CAL. I am reading about it. I found this linkhttp://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/101914/how-many-server-licenses-do-i-need-for-sharepoint-2013
Suppose there are 2 users in the sharepoint farm. As per above link we requires 7/8 server license. So my question is do we requires 7/8 licences per user basis (2*7/8) or we requires 7/8 licences once only then we require 2 more licenses for 2 users (7/8 +2)?

The second option.
If you have 7 SharePoint servers then you need 7 SharePoint Server Licenses.
If you have two people in your company who can use SharePoint then you need two Client Access Licenses (7 server, 2 CAL).
If you had two hundred thousand users who could then you would need two hundred thousand CALs, but the number of server licenses would not change. (7 server, 200,000 CALs).

How Many Server is needed?

Hi,
Currently we have 2 servers with installed application as follows:
Server 1:
- Hyperion Essbase
- APS (for redundancy)
- EAS (for redundancy)
Server 2:
- OAS (Oracle Application Server)
- Hyperion Shared Services
- Hyperion Planning
- Financial Report
- Web Analysis
- EAS
- APS
- Workspace
We plan to upgrade from version 9.3.1 to version 11.1.1.x
And will add HFM (Hyperion Financial Management) into the solution.
We have around 100+ users for Hyperion Planning and 50+ for HFM.
Questions:
How many server do we need for our solution. And what should we install on each server?
Here is what we think:
Server 1:
- Hyperion Essbase
- APS (for redundancy)
- EAS (for redundancy)
Server 2:
- OAS (Oracle Application Server)
- Hyperion Shared Services
- Hyperion Planning
- EAS
- APS
- Workspace
Server 3:
- Financial Report
- Web Analysis
Server 4:
- HFM
Any Feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Lian

In a vtp domain how many server mode switches can be

dear sir,
in a vtp domain how many server mode switches should be.
what role transpranent mode vtp domain and were we are using it.

Hi Mukhtar,
You can have all the switches in server mode in your network but it is always recommended to have atleast 1 and better to have 2 in your network.
One is required because VTP server is the only switch from where you can modify, add or delete vlan and it will be propogated to all client switch but 2 is recommended to have redundancy incase your one VTP server goes down you will be having another ot take care of your network.
Talking about VTP mode transparent, this mode will allow you to create,delete and modify any vlans but will not participate in any VTP messages and it will also not propogate its VLAN information to anyone in the network.
Also if you want to go for extended range of vlan which is above 1005 you have to configure your siwtch in VTP transparent mode only.
To know more about VTP have a look at this link

How many server nodes can you create per instance

Hi,
Very often the bottle neck in a java installation (NW04s) is the heap size. In order to increase the heap you simple create new server nodes.
My question is:
How many server nodes can you create per instance?
Is there an upper limit before you have to create a new dialog instance (with a web dispatcher)?
I can imagine that when you create a new server node you also have to increase the heap and max therad of the dispatcher. Is there any upper limit of the heap size of the dispatcher node ?

Rasmus , I think you laid out a real good scenario for every one to contribute
I may be very late but just updating this forum for benefit of everyone who visits this.
In addition to all the points above one must also consider following things if one decides to add more server nodes to one dispatcher
1.Garbage collection time
2.Dispatcher would keep on sending request to node S2 if it is not completely bad and there by impacting all the servernode so you might end up restartiing the entire cluster.
3,Debugging also becomes diffculy as you are not sure on which server node you are within the cluster.
4.If you have something like F5 which does hear beat monitoring even one server node goes bad F5 will not report anything.
So in my view one server node per dispatcher is an ideal configuration.
Over All Dispatcher does not consume more resouces (Disk Space + CPU + memory ) at the same time it will give you maintenance flexibility.
Nothing is right or wrong ,all these things are based on how your infrastructure set up is.

How many Licenses of Acrobat Professional do I need for Adobe LC PDF Generator

Hi,
At our customer site we have purchased 6 licenses of Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and have recieved a license file with the keys for Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator and Adobe Acrobat Professional. We bought the license from a reseller of the product. We understand that the Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator is a server based software and needs 1 license per CPU. Each of our server (Dev, Val & Prod) have 2 CPU's so we have sufficient licenses (6). We are under the impression that this would suffice. How ever we are not sure on how many licenses we need for Acrobat Professional.
Here is a brief description of the way we would use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator. We are deploying a PLM system and one of the requirement is to render Word documents to PDF so we are using PDF Generator for this capability. On our Adobe servers we will install Microsoft Word, Acrobat Professional V9 Extended and the Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator. We will have around 150 users for the PLM system being deployed. The PLM system is a Web based system which means the PLM application server will be running on a Solaris server in our case. As part of the workflows in the PLM system, at the end of the workflow process, the PLM server would trigger a request to the Adobe server to convert the word document to PDF. The Adobe server processess the request and returns the PDF file that gets generated.
Based on the above usage of the system how many licenses of Acrobat Professional do we need? We will be installing Acrobat only on the server where we install the Livecycle PDF Generator. We had a call with our purchasing person today and she cautioned us that for Adobe Acrobat Professional we might need 1 license per user of the PLM system. She has asked us to check this with the Vendor of the product. Somehow I don't think it makes sense to purchase so many Acrobat Professional licenses even though we install only once.
So can someone tell me How does the licensing for Adobe Livecycle PDF Generator work? How many Acrobat Professional licenses we actually need? Is it based on the number of users in the system that is triggering the request? Appreciate your response on this.
Regards,
Ragha

You really should talk to your Adobe Sales Rep about this. There are all kinds of special deals, licenses and such for customers using LiveCycle. (For instance the license for PDFG may include Acrobat licenses for certain uses).

Best practice on mailbox database size & we need how many server for deployment exchange server 2013

Dear all,
We have an server that runs Microsoft exchange server 2007 with the following specification:
4 servers: Hub&CAS1 & Hub&CAS2 & Mailbox1 & Mailbox2
Operating System : Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64
6 mailbox databases
1500 Mailboxes
We need to upgrade our exchange server from 2007 to 2013 to fulfill the following requirment:
I want to upgrade the exchange server 2007 to exchange server 2013 and implement the following details:
1500 mailboxes
10GB or 15GB mailbox quota for each user
How many
servers and databases are
required for this migration<ins cite="mailto:Mohammad%20Ashouri" datetime="2014-05-18T22:41"></ins>?
Number of the servers:
Number of the databases:
Size of each database:
Many thanks.

You will also need to check server role requirement in exchange 2013. Please go through this link to calculate the server role requirement : http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/05/14/released-exchange-2013-server-role-requirements-calculator.aspx
2TB is recommended maximum database size for Exchange 2013 databases.
Here is the complete checklist to upgrade from exchange 2007 to 2013 : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff805032%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
Meanwhile, to reduce the risks and time consumed during the completion of migration process, you can have a look at this proficient application(http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that would also be
a good approach for 1500 users. It will help you to ensure the data security during the migration between exchange 2007 and 2013.

How many server licences do i need

I am designing a small data center with physical servers connected to a SAN which is then backed up to a NAS for backup. The physical server will be running 13 critical application using VMware for high availability. How many window server licences would

How many 11gR2 RAC instance servers would be needed?

On the shared SAN drive - there will be as many as 6 11gR2 databases. For 2 node RAC instance servers - how many instance servers would work fine - are two separate servers needed for each database?

user7107816 wrote:

Your question seems to indicate a lack of understanding of what RAC provides and how it achieves that goal... High Availability.
RAC can also be used to provide additional horsepower - on the fly. I have added a new node - start to finish in < 2hrs. (new hardware+install/configure OS+addnode to RAC and have it online and operational.) No other database solution offers this flexability.

How many Standard Ethernet Network Interface by server ?

Hi
Huh... I'd like to install a RAC configuration with 2 server but i've a doubt.
When i list all network interfaces i've:
Server1
en0 Standard Ethernet Network Interface
et0 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Network Interface
lo0 Loopback Network Interface
Server2
en0 Standard Ethernet Network Interface
et0 IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Network Interface
lo0 Loopback Network Interface
Is it good or not ? (probably not and documentation says that en0 and en1 must be present in the configuration). OK.
I'm under AIX 5.3 and by Smit i've an option intituled "Add a Virtual IP Address Interface". Is it possible to create the second Interface as a Virtual IP adress here ?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Den

Den,
Basically, you would be needing two separate interface cards for each participating node. The first one to connect to the public network and second for the use an interconnect. Not sure, if et0 is really an network interface, if yes, you should be ok.
VIP is nothing but an un-assigned IP address (in the same subnet as your public IP address) which is expected to be inactive before you install the CRS. This should be listed in your /etc/hosts file and/or dns server (if used). Not sure if adding VIP through the SMIT makes it active, if yes, then you might not want to use SMIT to set up the VIP.

You do not need any of them. They are not needed to run Java applets.

How many Mac OS Lion files do I need to buy?

I own several Apple machines and need to upgrade the software on all of them.
Can I use the same download for each of them or do I need to pay for multiple copies?

If this is OK and will work, will she need to log in with my account details when updates become available?
Updates to Lion will come through Software Update, not the Mac App Store.
You can use the installer you download using your account to install on all the Macs in your household. Just remember to save off the installer before you install Lion, so you can then make a bootable USB drive.

Two DPM 2012 R2 Servers - one tape library split logically

Hi
We’re looking to purchase a new tape library with two LTO6 drives.
We wanted to share the library between the two DPM servers using the tape library sharing option, but to do this we’d need to attach the library via ISCSI as we don’t have a fibre channel SAN. Unfortunately the one I could find only has a 1 GB ISCSI
Bridge which really isn’t enough to drive the two LTO6 drives that are inside it.
So, I’m looking into the idea of SAS attaching the library directly to both DPM servers then partitioning the library into two logical libraries so that each DPM server see’s the library independently.
Although the library supports this option, is this supported by DPM and has anyone got their library configured this way?
We’re looking at the HP MSL4048 range.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Yes, I can confirm that DPM can work with hardware partitioned libraries. The only problem I see is that each library will only have a single drive, so that means you can only have a single long term recovery goal.
DPM does tape copies of daily tapes to make the weekly tape, and copies of the weekly tape to make the monthly tapes etc. You should see a warning when you go throught the PG Wizard if you only have a single tape drive.
When you go throught the PG Wizard for a PG that has two or more long-term recovery goals specified, and you only have a single tape drive, on the "Specifylibrary and tape details" page, you should see a yellow ! with "Please ensure that there are a minimum
of two tape drives or two tape libraries for copy backups to succeed.
