Standby server setup

Hi Gurus
I have been asked to configure a standby server using Oracle data guard. I have been told that the box that i have to configure as the DR server is already installed with SAP and everything is identical to PRD including hostname and SID except for the ip address. Will this scenario be suitable for configuring the DR setup, i need your help. I was thinking on changing the hostname, should i also change the SID as well.
Regards
Partson

Hi Partson,
I would change the hostname alone rather than changing the SID. Your DR site should always have the SID of SAP as well as your database. this will make your life simple. I would recommend you the following steps:
Change hostname
Install SAP
Restore offline backup from target system
Configure tnsnames and listner and data guard.
Regards,
SBK

UCCX 8.0 SNMP notification to report failover from active to the standby server?

Does any know the UCCX 8.0 SNMP notification to report failover from active to the standby server? (The specific notification.)
ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/v2/CISCO-VOICE-APPS-MIB.my
I see this in the MIB.
cvaModuleStart NOTIFICATION-TYPE
OBJECTS   { cvaAlarmSeverity, cvaModuleName }
STATUS    current
DESCRIPTION
        "A cvaModuleStart notification signifies that an
        application module or subsystem has successfully
        started and transitioned into in-service state.
        This notification is working in conjunction with
        the cvaModuleStop notification to notify the start
        and stop status of a particular application module."
::= {ciscoVoiceAppsMIBNotifications 1}

Attached are two files:
cad-ecc-viewer.html
This is a template HTML document which dictates how the pop up will look and what data fields are available.
cad-ecc-viewer.vbs
This is the Windows Scripting Host file which you run from a CDA workflow, and you pass it the values of the call data, it then launches an instance of IE and loads the above template.
By default the code is setup to use the following data from the call, but can be modified to work with more, less, or different data:
Customer Name
Customer Status (like Premium, or Platinum)
Customer Number (like an account number)
Customer Phone Number
So when you specify the VBS file to run in CDA you need to pass those variables in that order.
The CDA should expect the VBS file on the root of C:\ by default, and the VBS file expects the HTML Template on the root of C:\ also.
I have only tested this on UCCX 7x and IE 8x. Use the code as a guide to your own solution, that suites your business requirements.
EDIT: I see that this does not work on my Win7/IE9 system, so I will spend some time updating the code for Win7/IE9 and I'll let you know how it goes.

Oracle 10gR2 Data guard physical or logical standby server?

Hi
We are planing to implement an Oracle 10gR2 data guard standby server for DR purposes, I found out that there are two type of standby server which is logical and physical standby server. I want to know which one is preferable? in term of complexity of setup and maintenance?
regards

Well it depends on what you mean by maintenance. I found the physical standby to be very little trouble at all ; however the logical standby has restrictions on it that the physical standby does not. In essence the physical standby merely digest archive logs; where as the logical standby uses logminer like functionality to process sql statements much like Oracle streams.
Hope that helps,

Standby server time zone - sync-up with primary

As we are running our database with physical standby database - Oracle 10.2.0.3, O/S RHEL4 ES
now the primary database server time zone is set to EST Time Zone and Standby database server is set to PST time Zone
We would need to Sync-up standby time zone with Primary database server (EST)
and also the standby server is having 2 instances,
1. standby instance
2. independent instance
We are running rman for both the instances in standby server
as part of this time sync, we need to bring down both the instances then reset the time zone in standby server as primary and bring both the instances up and run the rman backup.
is this fine.
Please let us know if this is fine or do we need to perform anything more.
Thanks,
AJ

Please see the attached screenshot, which is of the last page of the Sync Setup process. It says to backup your Sync Key, and it offers a Print ... button and a Save... button. The correct Sync Key is necessary to recover your data, it is the encryption / decryption key. Sorry, without it your data is useless.

Server 2012 R2 DHCP Failover - Hot Standby clients not renewing with standby server

In my test network I have a pair of Server 2012 R2 DHCP servers setup for Hot Standby and they will successfully service a client request for a new request.
What I am seeing is that when I test failover the clients will not renew with the Standby server. I have to release first and then renew.
When both DHCP servers are up the state is normal and replication of configuration from the Active to Standby is working. As far as I can tell it is configured correctly.
MaxClientLeadTime is 10 minutes.
StateSwitchInterval is 10 minutes.
AutoStateTransition is set to True.
Adding that manual renews fail with a message stating that it was unable to contact the dhcp server. However if I wait for the lease to expire/auto-renew the dhcp server does indeed change to the standby. Once the primary server comes back up and the state
returns to normal I am able to manually renew.
thanks in advance

Hi,
For test, we let the active DHCP down and the standby DHCP server will take place. But when we renew an IP, client send unicast to the former DHCP
server. That’s why the first request failed.
At 7/8 of the scope lease time, the client moves into a REBINDING state and broadcasts a lease renewal request.
For more information please refer to:

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I changed my jvm from sun jdk to latest jrockit and the issue was solved :)

Remote Update Server setup

Using the AUSST tool to set up a remote update server on Windows Server 2012R2 which is IIS 8.5.
Working through this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/update-server-setup-tool.html#Preparing a web server to use as the update server
Have reached the point where it says "Add the httpHandles for the zip, xml, crl, dmg, and sig extension in the web.config file as shown here:"
I have added the lines specified to the web.config file, here is the complete file:
configuration>
    <system.web>
        <compilation targetFramework="4.5" />
        <membership>

But when I try to access the web site I get this: " The configuration section 'httphandlers' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration "
Clearly I am a newbie in IIS (and indeed on Web Development of any sort).
Could someone please point out the no-doubt-obvious mistake?
Thanks.

I'm on 2012 R2 too.
ISAPI Module is not available by default. Choose to add ISAPI features (and Server Side Includes) using the Server Manager, Add Roles and Features, Web Server, Web Server, Application Development. I chose both ISAPI options as well as Server Side Includes - not sure which is needed.

10.5.1 Server Setup - Help Make it all Work!

Hello Everyone, I currently have a new MacMini running 10.5.1 with our Calendar, Wiki and File Sharing. I have recently just returned from the Mac OS 10.5 Training Session from Chicago Columbia College and was astonished at what their demo servers did versus what mine has never done lol. We are a small tech company and there isn't much yet in the way of documentation or training or even training materials for Leopard Server. So I wanted to share some of what we learned from the training seminar and hopefully someone will know the proper answers to my questions. This is going to be a bit long winded but I think it's important to convey my questions/concerns.
1. Ok initial setup of our Leopard server requires you to input a host name and then the domain name. Well after the first install of Leopard we found as I have read amongst the posts for the past 2 hours that if you place let's say macmini in the host-name field then place domain.com in the domain field. After the server setup is complete Leopard Server wants you to chat, vpn, and browse to http://macmini.domain.com/groups as well as mail. This is all well and good if you have access to DNS like I do and can easily make changes to the MX & A records but if your a typical SMB user then you won't and this means that once your e-mail is setup and your ready to start using your server anyone you e-mail will come from [email protected] and not [email protected] which is a huge problem. So be cautious here. I was instructed by Apple after scratching their head to leave the host-name blank and only fill in the domain name here if your on let's say a T1 or other medium with a static IP pointed at your machine or router. So this is my first pet peve, there is a sloppy work around to this by telling the server to receive e-mail for domain.com as well but still whenever you send it comes from the original domain.
2. Application Setup - Single Sign-on - When I attended Leopard training this week in Chicago I was amazed at how whenever a user (demo -lab environment) logged into ichat, ical, wiki or e-mail there was simple single sign-on kerberos auth. What I mean by this is once the server is up and running and your Mac connects to the network for the first time either by manual add thru the directory application or a new Mac that finds the Leopard server automatically at first boot and you auth a user on the server to that Mac then there is just a single signon from that point on, NOT! For us our users log into their machines, (mind u they are already users on the Leopard server and can log in just fine) and they try to go to their e-mail for the first time it always fails. We then have to disable SSL over SMTP and IMAP and manually type in their passwords because the MacMail clients cannot trust the SSL cert or we simply just delete their accounts and recreate them from scratch. Same happens with iChat. By design when you auth your Mac against the server, the server auto configs the security and client apps, i.e. mail, ichat, directory, VPN, ical. But iCal has consistently failed setup across 5 server builds and 10 clients. What will happen is when you go to prefs in ichat you see your account but it can't auth you and doesn't show up in ical for your personal server calendar. If you manually remove your user account and re-add it works great. But next time you go to ichat, once again you have to recreate. And I can recreate this all day long. But at the demo it worked like magic. So that is problem number two, SSL and single sign-on does not really work and app auto-config does not work at all.
3. Apple Airport Extreme 802.11N. - As a test and per Apple's recommendation for SMB clients we picked up a new Airport. We patched it and setup user/pass info and setup DHCP on the device for so if server fails we have internet. And during server setup it logged into Airport and tried to configure settings. We were on the net and all was good after server setup. However with VPN enabled per user in Standard mode on server we have only been able to gain VPN access for clients if they are actually inside the network. I have spent about 10 hours back and forth with Apple Support trying to get VPN to work outside. The Manual setup of new Airport Port-Mapping is simple but crude. It does not seem to work. And there is a default hosts setting which should translate to an open DMZ but does not. So that is third on my list, running a MacMini with 2gig's of RAM which is within SPEC for Leopard Server and using the Apple Recommended solution of an Airport Extreme N does not work for s&*% and I would be very surprised if anyone here has gotten that to work.
4. E-Mail Services - As stated prior Leopards auto app setup utility does not work for crap unless by some magic there are other steps besides the ones outlined and printed with the purchase of server. But the main thing about mail is that we are missing the basics. I mean your going to be hard pressed to find ANY e-mail application on the market today, Notes, Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, iMail or other that does not include basic vacation/out of the office message replies. This is a huge issue for any small business or for that matter any size business that wants to automate things when they are out and I think this is one of my small peeves but certainly worth a listing here.
5. VPN - We have tried like **** to get the VPN to work thru the Airport as previously noted but we have also connected MacPro with 2 nics, one for net and one for LAN and not been able to connect to the server from outside our network. Here is my largest frustration, we currently run SBS2003 from MSFT and they run flawlessly. I have literally sat with clients in their office during a new setup for SBS and in 3-4 hours we were up and running with minimal system level changes from the guided path. And for Apple to advertise this in the manual and all online materials as being SMB friendly is a complete slap in the face. Now don't confuse my above descriptions of problems we have seen across 5 Leopard builds as being a rant because it's not but seriously I am a network engineer with 10 years in the field working with 20+ product ranges and in our office we only use Mac because of stability and uptime. But OS X 10.5 is not Small Business Friendly at all even with the half hearted attempt at the new System Admin console for SMB users. However that being said I will still push on and try to get all these little bugs worked out and what I would really like to see is some feedback on my issues and I would love to know if anyone else has had similar issues. I really had hoped that 10.5 could help my firm finally push the proper solution (Mac OS X) for our SMB clients but it just isn't there yet.
Cheers,
DM

Thanks for the quick read and response. Do you feel the issue might lie with the fact that it is a Mac Mini? And possibly just not powerful enough to run Leopard Server? I have to say in our trials with MacPro it was like night and day as to how they performed. And if you could elaborate on this "Many VPNs don't play well with NAT so your VPN server should have a direct connection to the public network (preferably firewalled, of course, but not NATted)." Most every SoHo and for that matter uses simple NAT translation for security even our multi thousand dollar Cisco PIX and ASA's are basic NAT devices to start with. How would you put the VPN on public net while keeping the attack surface low for the rest of the services like file, web, mail and print?
Don't get me wrong I want this to work more than you can imagine. We are so tired of supporting MSFT technologies that cost thousands a year in antivirus, antispyware, antispam and other malware protection for the enterprise. We know that Leopard has great potential but for an integrator, getting this system up and functional is not an easy task. And the worst part of it is every time we have called for support the tech always lets out a sigh when they hear we have run standard setup because they are not allowed to walk us thru the server console to make repairs. And have been told by 3 techs so far that this is a new product and the support avenues are not there for standard since it just supposed to work out of the box. But when it doesn't then ohh well. Which is sorta sad...

Sane virtual mail server setup?

I'm giving up. I want a simple mail server setup (imaps, pop3s, smtps) with virtual user support that I can comfortably configure from the web (PostfixAdmin, web-cyradm, courier-web). I want to manage multiple users on multiple domains. It appears that the task I want to accomplish is insanely complex for some reason. I'd like to use as few different software packages as possible.
I can't find a simple and sane tutorial on the topic and I don't even care what software is going to be used. Of course, I did search and play around with the config for hours but to no avail. The tutorials in the Arch wiki are no good either, they are either outdated or do not allow me to do web configuration.
Help me out here, please.

It's always good to have alternatives, but out of curiousity, did you not try the courier-mta wiki? I used that wiki guide recently and it had me running with a system like what you describe without too much fuss. The only stuff I haven't tried/used is web-based administration or mail access; perhaps this was the problem for you?

Mail Server setup - EM 10.2.0.1.0

On Mail Server setup (EM 10.2.0.1.0) doesn't exists the options to set the User Name and Password, for authentication.
How do I configure a user authentication for the SMTP server?

You have to provide valid values for only the follwing two fields:
1 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
2 and Sender's E-mail Address
Optionally you cand enter something in the Identify Sender As that will be used in the email body as an alias for the email address.
It should work. I tested this a few moments earlier.

Server Setup advice for a video production house

Hello Forum,
I recently started working for a small video production company, I need advice on the type of server and other hardware and services that will allow my co-workers to work efficiently. Here are some details:
Currently we are going to buy a new server, I am not sure what we should look at getting,
currently we use a mini mac running OSX server and have 6 iMacs that the editors and other staff use.
We also have a 15 TB Drobo network storage device which is attached to the mini-mac server we are going to replace.
The production team uses Final Cut and Motion to build documentaries.
The other issue is that need a way to connect the office in Baltimore to the office in Washington DC and ideally share files between each location, currently they cannot access the network from Baltimore and have to have a copy of the unedited footage on their own Drobo.
What type of server setup do you recommend? Quad core? speed?
Should we set up a VPN to connect offices or does someone have a better idea, if so what applications do we need?
I know windows networking pretty well, but Mac is totally new to me.Currently editing files from the server is really slow and files are usually pulled to the iMacs to do editing, burning DVDs from files on the server hardly ever works- they pull them local then burn the DVD and it works.
I would love to hear suggestions to help us get up and running.
Anyone know of a good website for server setup- Since there is no Domains in OSX that i know of, how can we secure the network? Links would be great.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Well if your looking for performance. You could get a Promise VTrak E-Class RAID with 32TB of storage, later on you can add more chassis to the raid for more storage space. The raid can be expanded up to 160TB. (80 drive bays, each drive 2 TB)
Using fiber you could attach the raid to an xServer or Mac Pro (running mac os x server). You'll probable want at least 8 or 16 GB of ram on the server.
The server can run a copy of final cut server. Witch makes it easer to work as a group. Mac OS X server, when properly configured, can also be used to create a VPN between both locations.
Final Cut Server will let editors check in/out specific parts of the documentaries. So the project lives on the server; instead of scattered over every ones computers. Part of this is you can pull down thumb nails versions of the video to work off of. Only when you do the final render do you download the HD version of the video.
If you want even better performance on the editing stations. you could also upgrade to Mac Pros. Mac Pros have upgrade slots witch you can use to add fiber networking. You could also use the upgrade slots to add a black magic real time HD capture card.
Or if you want to keep the imacs. you might want to hook the server to a switch by fiber, and have the imacs connected to the same switch by 1000-T
If you call apple i'm sure they'd be happy to help you figure this all out.

Lion Server setup & Time Capsule

Greetings,
I am new to lion server so please bear with me. Some of my question me seem dumb to some of you. But to me the only dumb question is one not asked. So please bear with me.
Server and time capsule will both do NAT, DHCP. Which should I use for the network Server or Time Capsule. I am connecting with a Brighthouse cable modem with a Dynamic IP. I have the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode with a static IP 192.168.0.6. The server is Static with 192.168.0.5. Brighthouse wireless is disabled as I like the time capsule wireless. Time capsule is providing WI-FI. Brighthouse router/Modem provides the Router at 192.168.0.1.
I have a domain name abc.net. Should I set up lion server first and then set up Time Capsule after it is working? Do I set this up as a .local, .private or .net account during server setup? I want to be able to get to my computer from my domain name and handle my mail.
I set this up once and it worked for about 2 hours. After that it would never see my computer. So I am setting up server again but wanted to see if I could get a little first time guidence this time. I also signed up with DYNDNS for DNS updating and that just seemed to throw a whole new batch of problems in.
So any help would be great... Not dumb with computers, but new to apple servers. And I don't do geek well!!
I think all the IP numbers, what I need to change on Netfirms to get to my computer get me confused in the setup.
Thanks

Server and time capsule will both do NAT, DHCP
Sure.
Which should I use for the network Server or Time Capsule
Why do you think you need to use either of them?
Ideally, you should have ONE device on your network running NAT, and ONE device running DHCP.
From your description it sounds like your Brighthouse router is running NAT therefore there is no need to run NAT anywhere else.
The chances are that the Brighthouse router is also running a DHCP server for your LAN, therefore there is also no need to run DHCP off the Time Capsule or the Server. You've already got those bases covered.
So, at least without more information, I'd be inclined to say: neither.
Should I set up lion server first and then set up Time Capsule after it is working?
Probably. It depends on what your plans are for the Time Capsule. If you're using the TC as a wireless base station then it doesn't need to be running until you're ready to connect wireless clients.
If you're using the TC for backup, you don't need it until your server and/or clients are setup and ready to backup.
Since the TC is not (as per the above) running either NAT or DHCP, there's not much else to do with it.
So focus on the server.
Do I set this up as a .local, .private or .net account during server setup?
That's entirely up to you, although there are a couple of options. First off, though, realize that there is no, zip, nada connection between the hostname you use on your internal LAN and any public domain. It's 100% valid for your server to be called foo.bar while serving web content for abc.net and getting email for xzy.com, all at the same time.
Personally, I tend to set them the same (e.g. abc.net in this case), but others will recommend a different approach. It's largely personal preference.
I want to be able to get to my computer from my domain name and handle my mail.
If you're talking about getting to your computer/mail from an external locale, that's 100% down to DNS and completely independent of what the server thinks its own name is.

Will RMAN delete archive log files on a Standby server?

Environment:
Oracle 11.2.0.3 EE on Solaris 10.5
I am currently NOT using an RMAN repository (coming soon).
I have a Primary database sending log files to a Standby.
My Retention Policy is set to 'RECOVERY WINDOW OF 8 DAYS'.
Question: Will RMAN delete the archive log files on the Standby server after they become obsolete based on the Retention Policy or do I need to remove them manually via O/S command?
Does the fact that I'm NOT using an RMAN Repository at the moment make a difference?
Couldn't find the answer in the docs.
Thanks very much!!
-gary

Hello again Gary;
Sorry for the delay.
Why is what you suggested better?
No, its not better, but I prefer to manage the archive. This method works, period.
Does that fact (running a backup every 4 hours) make my archivelog deletion policy irrelevant?
No. The policy is important.
Having the Primary set to :
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO APPLIED ON STANDBYBut set to "NONE" on the Standby.
Means the worst thing that can happen is RMAN will bark when you try to delete something. ( this is a good thing )
How do I prevent the archive backup process from backing up an archive log file before it gets shipped to the standby?
Should be a non-issue, the archive does not move, the REDO is transported and applied. There's SQL to monitor both ( Transport and Apply )
For Data Guard I would consider getting a copy of
"Oracle Data Guard 11g Handbook" - Larry Carpenter (AKA Dr. Paranoid ) ISBN 978-0-07-162111-2
Best Oracle book I've read in 10 years. Covers a ton of ground clearly.
