Static Mac adress on guest machine

Hi All,
I must convert a Windows 7 machine from VMware to a Hyper-V Cluster. But the Problem is that we Need to Keep the old MAC Adress on this Client after conversion. How can I do this?
From my understanding means static IP in Hyper-V only that always the same MAC Adress will be assigned to the guest from the pool.
But ist very important for us to keep the old one ...
Hope someone has an idea here ...
Many thanks
markus

Thanks...
The Hyper-V Guest is running on a Cluster. Is it correct that the MAC address Settings should be leave in Dynamic then?
I have converted now the machine. And the strange Thing is that the MAC Settings for this machine are automaticly set to static with the correct MAC Adress (Spoofing is disabled)
the machine is running on a Hyper-V Cluster 2008R2 and i have converted the machine with SCVMM.
Can this be working like this ?
Rgds,
markus

How to Fetch MAC-Adresses across Subnets

Hi All,
for some reason we have a number of Machines out there where we would like to install a Package via ARD instead of Casper. We have a list of Hostnames from this Machines. Now, the first idea was to ping them and to get the MAC-Adress out of the ARP Cache via arp -a. All together could be used as an Import-File for Remote-Desktop.
But ARP does not work across Subnets.
Now i was wondering - how does for example ARD read the MAC-Adress from a Machine if i do a scan to a specific Network-Range. Could i use this process to fetch the MAC-Addresses? Or could there be another way.
bye
joe

Hi
You could try installing ARD on a client within that range? Poll workstations within that range for relevant information. Save it to the Desktop of that ARD workstation. Transfer it to a memory stick etc. Or if you know the IP address of that workstation you may be able to add it using the network address option from another workstation that's in a different subnet.

PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM in a single VirtualBox guest machine

Following a suggestion from Jim Marion in an earlier post in this forum, I started installing the PeopleSoft HCM 9.1 OVM using a single VirtualBox guest. The PeopleSoft OVM appliances are delivered as two separate virtual machines, one for the DB and another for the PIA/App-Batch. Since I am running on a 4 GB RAM laptop I wanted to conserve memory by installing on a single virtual machine.
As I was starting to figure out the changes needed in the configuration scripts, for example creating a symbolic link instead of an nfs mount for PS_APP_HOME, I got a surprise. Lo and behold, the good folks at Oracle had already thought of this! In the oraclevm-template.sh there is an environment variable VBOX_SETUP that is set if the script detects the existance of both PS_DB_HOME and PS_HOME. This triggers the installation of all the tiers -- DB, App-Batch, PIA -- on a single machine. With a few tweaks I was able to get a fully functioning HCM environment with a single execution of the setup script.
The starting point for installing PeopleSoft OVMs on VirtualBox is these two blog posts:
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/05/converting-peoplesoft-ovm-templates-to.html]
[url http://jjmpsj.blogspot.com/2012/06/converting-peopletools-ovm-template-to.html]
Since I was only using a single virtual guest I mounted all the file systems at once. Here are the entries (excluding the System images which are only mounted temporarily as explained in Jim's blog posts):
in VirtualBox:
SATA Port 1: Oracle11gR2.vdi (Normal, 4.41 GB)
SATA Port 2: HCMDB.vdi (Normal, 26.38 GB)
SATA Port 3: Tools.vdi (Normal, 11.25 GB)
in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1               /u01                    ext3    defaults        1 3
/dev/sdc1               /opt/oracle/psft/ptdb   ext3    defaults        1 4
/dev/sdd1               /opt/oracle/psft/pt     ext3    defaults        1 5I commented out the ovm_set_password and ovm_configure_network steps in /u01/scripts/db-reconfig.sh since I had manually set up a static IP on my guest. (Note: this script no longer bothers checking for or setting up oracleasm so you don't need to worry about that). I also uncommented the DEBUG_PSFT_OVM variable in the /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template-utils.sh script. Doing this bypasses the root password reset and networking configuration in the oraclevm-template.sh script.
I modified the .bash_profile script for psadm1, psadm2 and psadm3 to use the ORACLE_SID that the setup script discovered based on the contents of $PSFT_DB_HOME/oradata and added $PS_HOME/setup to the PATH for COBOL compiles:
# psft env vars
export PS_APP_HOME=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools
export PS_CFG_HOME=/home/psadm2/psft/pt/8.52
export ORACLE_BASE=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/oracle-client
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/11.2.0.x
export ORACLE_SID=HR91C323
export TUXDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/bea/tuxedo
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TUXDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
. /opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/psconfig.sh
export PATH=$TUXDIR/bin:$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PS_HOME/setup
export LANG=C
export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
export PATH=$PATH:$COBDIR/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$COBDIR/lib(Just a note on the beauty of VirtualBox: I didn't figure out all the above in a single step. But by taking some snapshots of my virtual machine I was able to go back and start over with a minimum of fuss.)
I still had a few errors after I got a clean run of /opt/oracle/psft/vm/oraclevm-template.sh:
<li>The app engine VERSION program failed because it didn't pick up the PS_SERVER_CFG variable. The variable is set in the script so I'm still trying to figure out what happened.
<li>The ovm_dbusers.sql failed on a couple of statements with insufficient privileges. It is run as SYSADM and may need to be run as sysdba.
<li>The ovm_ib.sql script had a unique constraint error on an insert into psibsvcsetup. Since the row already exists this should probably be an update.
These were minor issues that were easily resolved after the instance was up.
I have started making changes to further reduce the footprint of the VM: lower weblogic min/max heap size to 128m, don't start PSAESRV in the batch server, don't start Analytic and Query servers in the app server, lower the sga_target and pga_aggregate_target in the db server, etc.
These PeopleSoft OVM templates are a fantastic way to get started with an up-to-date, well configured PeopleSoft application.

Hi,
To keep all my peoplesoft servers on a virtual environnement i will use Oracle Database 11.1.0.6 for x86_64 (64 bit) with Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2 template and install on it the peoplesoft CRM. it's a good idea ? Yes, why not.
But you could also want to minimize the number of virtual machines running in your env by adding the CRM database into the existing Peoplesoft OVM database server, check if there is enough space to host this CRM db in addition of the running HR db, if not you could increase the space or add a new disk.
and which files from http://edelivery.oracle.com i should use to install peoplesoft CRM database ?
You'll only need to download PeopleSoft Enterprise Customer Relationship Management 9.1 application, part number V17881-01 from "PeopleSoft Enterprise - Customer Relationship Management 9.1 Media Pack".
sorry for those question i'm still beginner in peoplesoft.No problem, Peoplesoft is not so easy software anyway.
HTH,
Nicolas.

Hyper-V Static MAC Address Best Practice

Hi guys,
Looking for some advice please..
We have several VM's running within a 6 node cluster that run an application which keeps losing it's license whenever the LAN MAC changes i.e. when the VM moves to a new node.
The obvious solution is to set these VM's with a STATIC MAC address however I have a few questions.
1. Is there a 'private' range I can use to ensure that we never see any conflicts?
2. What's the best way to implement this change? simply power off each machine and manually edit the settings or can I use SCVMM?
3. Will the VM's lose there current network card settings? static ip etc?
4. Will VM's set with a static MAC still fail over to other nodes?
Many thanks for your help
Robbie

For an answer you're much better off posting in the Hyper-V forum here:

Ovmcli change ip on guest machine (running Windows XP)

Hello,
I'm new to OracleVM but find it very useful.
We had previous expierences with VMWare virtualization in our company
(VMWare server 2.0). It had VMWare tools which included cli (command line interface).
I need to change IP address of Windows XP guest machine.
To be exact: our guest machine is running windows XP, our host is Oracle VM.
We want to change IP from let's say: 10.60.60.200 to 10.60.60.201 on our guest machine running XP.
In WMWare we used:
$command = "netsh interface ip set address LAN static 10.60.60.200 255.255.255.0 10.60.60.1 1";
and a command that fired the action $command:
vmrun -T server -h HOST_IP_ADDRESS -u HOST_USER -p HOST_PASSWORD -gu GUEST_USER -gp GUEST_PASSWORD runScriptInGuest "DATASTORE TEMP/xxx.vmx" cmd /c & $command;
Is there something similar to "runScriptInGuest" or is there any other way to change IP of guest machine in Oracle VM?
I tried to use
ovmcli with:
vm nic conf
but the options don't include changing IP.
As far as I can see there is only:
--serverpool_name
--vm_name
--nic_name
--new_nic_name
--bridge
--rate_limit
--enable_qos
--disable_qos
options available for configuring network interface adapters.

The problem with changing IP inside the virtual machine (windows XP) is that
we use dynamic virtual machines. By 'dynamic' I mean that we have a set of templates that
we clone, start, configure and then run application tests on them. The purpose of all
this is that we want to have identical operating environement for all tests. In this way
we can relate to results as done on exactly the same computer.
The whole process (cloning, starting, configuring, restarting, running application tests and then pausing VM) is done
from scripts - so we CANNOT just manually log via VNC into machine and change it's IP.
We tried to use STAF (http://staf.sourceforge.net/) but it operates on IP
so we can run with this tool any task except changing machine's IP.
(STAF doesn't deal with the change of IP in time.
Apart from this it sends response with new IP when
server excepects response from old IP).
Summerizing - runScriptInGuest from VMWare solved the problem for us
because it ran a CONSOLE command inside Windows Guest
which changed the IP. runScriptInGuest doesn't rely on
machine's IP so everything ran smooth.
Is there any other way to change this ip
from SCRIPT. I mean some way to run this command
remotely on windows or do this through OracleVM virtual machine configuration ?
I hope it clears the question.

MAC-Adress Filtering vs. Access - Lists

We are using two WLC 4400 Series Controller for our Guest WLAN. They are installed the way Cisco Recommends . One in our LAN and one in the DMZ.
I am looking for a possibility to deny company users the access to this WLAN with their notebooks. The WLAN has direkt internet access and we don't want our notebooks to be compromised...
With MAC-Adress Filterring I can only permit access to a specific Wlan or is there a way to negogiate such a filter to use it for a denial?
Is there a possibility to use access lists for the denial of specific Mac-Adresses to a specific WLAN ?
Anyone an other good Idea how to solve this issue?

Well... MAC-address filter would work, but if you have alot to input, it can be a headache. ACL's I don't think will work, because users will get an ip from the guest network and then how can you know who has what address. Create a username password webauth page. The credentials can be changed each day or week depending.... and give this out to guest users to access the guest network. Now internal user can't access this unless the username password slips out. If you really want to make it tough, use GPO and push out the wireless policy and lock out the feature to add a wireless network.

Paravirtualized Guest Machine from an OEL 6 GA Install Media iso?

Is it possible to create a paravirtualized guest from an Oracle Linux 6 GA iso?l
I would prefer a jeos image but I have not been able to find one.
I have tried this using the vm server as the nfs server with no success.
vm server 2.20
cp oel6.iso /OVS/ios_pool/
cd /OVS/iso_pool/
mkdir /OVS/iso_pool/iso
mount -o loop oel6.iso iso
vi /etc/exports
/OVS/iso_pool/iso *(rw)
service nfs restart
When creating the guest machine I choose paravirtualiezed and enter the following nfs entry:
nfs:server-name/OVS/ios_pool/iso
or
nfs:server-ip-address/OVS/ios_pool/iso
I receive the following in the log:

I've got a few OL6 guests up and running on my OVS 2.2.2 servers now. I managed to convert one of them to a PV guest by hacking together a vm.cfg.
The dmesg|grep -i xen shows me that the guest kernel is running in paravirt mode.
My problem is the OVM Manager is still showing this guest as a fully virtualized guest. Is there a better/proper way to convert an HVM guest to PV guest?

Static MAC address without configuration

Hello,
i am a german guy, so please excuse my bad english.
I have a question about static MAC addresses on a WS-C3750G-48TS Switch.
I have no static adresses configured on my switch, but see some when execute the "show mac address-table static" command. And i mean not the 0000.0c07.ac01 addresse for HSRP, Spanning-tree or something else, which are forwarded to the CPU, i mean entries like this:
Switch#show MAC address-table interface g2/0/47
          Mac Address Table
Vlan    Mac Address       Type        Ports
   3    1212.1212.1212    STATIC      Gi2/0/47
   3    1414.1414.1414    STATIC      Gi2/0/47
Total Mac Addresses for this criterion: 2
This entries not configured or dynamicly learned.
I suspected functions like gratitious-arp, but this is only for IP<->MAC translation. Then i have searched functions like gratitious-mac or mac-notification. I have searched for a function with tells the switchport: "Hey, that is my MAC address. There is no need to learn this address dynamicly", but with no luck.
Does anybody can tell me, why these MAC addresses are shown static, and not dynamicly?
Thanks for help.
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Are there any port-security related configurations in interface Gi2/0/47? Could you post the running-configuration of this interface in concern, output of show mac-address-table interface Gi2/0/47 and also could you let me know what is connected to this interface?
Thanks,
Arun

Mac adress authentication with Radius

Hello all
we have an WiFi architecture based on two Radius servers (ACS 3.2)
We make a Mac adress authentication with WEP on these Radius servers. Ours Wirelless cards are Proxim Orinoco. When we used the user and the passord identified by the mac adress manualy that works.
But, the authentication by Mac adress with the wireless card don't work. The log on the radius servers are "CS PASSWORD INVALID".
Ideas ?
Regards

First ensure the password on the access point and the authentication server is the same. I have had this trouble getting authenitcated with ACS for admin authentication. Installing it on another machine made it work. So try uninstalling ACS completely using the recovery CD and reinstall it to check if this works.

Wireless Mac-Adress Filtering via Radius Bypassed

Hello
i have two Mac-adress based filtered WLAN configured plus one Guest SSID.
The mac-adress filtering is linked to a radius server faut mac verification

If i disable fast-SSId change, i cannot switch between, and radius return reject for my MAC@
the problem is i have some iPhones switching between two SSID --> i have to leav Fast-SSID change activated, if not iPhones can't connect to SSIDs ...

Static ip adress not connecting

hello all
i m trying to get a powerbook with 10.4 to connect to the internet . my home network uses static ip adresses . i chose the macs tcp/ip and wifi settings same as other two computers. I checked the ip adress of the mac wasnt already in use .
i still cannot connect .
what else should i check ?
thanks for any help

the router address is given by my iSP . actually their dsl box also has router functionality and they give us the address. i think this is ok ( same setting as my other compters )
in the meantime ive been checking again the wireless parameters . under airport settings after choosing a network , wirless protection says it needs 128bit key . my wifi protection is a 64bit . perhaps that could be the issue.

How to make Mac OS X virtual machine on my mac mini?

Dear All,
I've just bought mac mini device, upgraded my memory (now I have 16GB).
The mac os was already installed on this device, and there were NO DVR or blue-ray media in the box which contains the installation of the OS X.
Now I want to install VirtualBox, WMWare or other virtualization (still don't know which one to select)
and I want to create a guest machine with the same OS X. As far as I know, the license on OS X permits to run OS X guest under OS X host.
But here is the question: the VirtualBox software will ask me "give me a disk with installation of OS", where shall I get this disk?
What shall I give to the virtual machine software to install the same OS X that is running on my mac mini?
Regards,
Ihor.

Actually, with Parallels9, if you have OSX Lion or later
as the host OS, you can create an OSX VM with no disks
and just an internet connection. Parallels will utilize
the RecoveryHD on the host and do an internet recovery
to the create the VM. If you have fast internet, this is the
simplest approach.
If you have previously purchased Lion or Mountain Lion,
you can redownload the installer and extract the install image
from the package. Then, with Parallels anyway, when prompted for
an install disk , you select the image.
As far as licensing, running Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks
in a virtual machine does not violate the EULA as long as
the VM is run on Apple hardware.
From the EULA for Lion
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software
within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that
is already running the Apple Software.
From the EULA for Mavericks:
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple
Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own
or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software
development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d)
personal, non-commercial use.

I brought my itunes library onto a mac from a windows machine and now i have two separate libraries. How can I merge them?

I moved to Mac from a Windows machine where I had downloaded all of my CDs into iTunes. When I got my Mac it only put my purchased items into my library. So I merged my windows library and it created a whole new user account with that on it. I now have two libraries and can only sync music with one account or I lose all of my imported CDs. Help! How do I merge them.

The easiest way is to get both computers on your home network and copy the files over the network. It's easier than you think
Check this earlier thread:
[How do I move my itunes library to new computer|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7937172&#7937172]
That thread mentions Target Disk Mode, which won't help moving from a PC to a Mac. But you can use file sharing to copy the files.
As the articles all say: don't forget to de-authorize your PC before you get rid of it.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

Can I back up more than one mac to the time machine:

Can I back up more than one Mac to a time machine? I have a laptop and a Mac Desktop computer can I back up both on the same Time machine

Absolutely.
However, quoting from ASC contributor Pondini's excellent Time Machine FAQ:
It is advisable, though, to partition an external disk that will be connected to your Macs into one volume for each Mac ...
