Virtual Server and Nat

Hello,
I have a question reguarding the the combination between Vserver and NAT. Maybe this is due to the order of the operation. I have a virtual server with the server farm. So the first think to do is Load Balancing (IOS SLB) toward the N°2 real server. Then just only for a kind of traffic (tcp port 23 or something else) I want to nat the ip address of one real to another (destination nat). Is this possible?
You can see tha attach for more detail.
Thanks
Ira

if you want to forward the traffic to another ip for a specific port, why don't you create a new serverfarm with the new real server ip address and then create a new vserver to handle this particular traffic
ie:
serverfarm regular
real x.x.x.x
ins
vserver regular
vip x.x.x.x /0 any
serverfarm regular
inservice
Then ADD
serverfarm special
real x.x.x.x <=== new real ip
inservice
vserver special
vip x.x.x.x /0 tcp 23
serverfarm special
inservice
This is the way to do it.
Regards,
Gilles.
Thanks for rating.

Need to create a virtual server and give its access to another admin

Dear Sir,
I am a new admin and have 5 Blade server "HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8".
I access these servers through HP enclosure.
I have to install Hyper-V on server 1 which consisted of the OS windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition.
I created a plan to create 5 Hyper-V VM's on the physical server and I requested the IT department network Admin that I want these 5 VM's to able to connect to each other.
The network Admin created a Trunking configuration on the physical server and after this setup he provided me Hyper-v node IP address and 5 more IP addresses for the 5 Hyper-v VM's.
Now it was left to me to Add the Hyper-v role and create 5 VM's.
While Adding the Hyper-V role, I was asked in the middle of the setup to add the network adapter for
connecting to external network.
I went inside the network connection settings and I see one network adapter "Microsoft Multiplexer"
which had the IP address of the Hyper-V node which was given to be me by Network Admin.
Besides this I found following Network Adapter: (Mgmt,Trunk):(Mgmt A, Trunk A);(Mgmt B, Trunk B) =Total
6 Network Adapter out of which only "Mgmt" was configured with the IP address of the Hyper-v node given by my Network Admin. Remaining all other Network adapters IPV4 configuration
was unchecked except "Mgmt"
So I selected the "Mgmt" connection while Installing the Hyper-v role
SO I chose this Network connection for adding the Hyper-V role.
My question: Did I chose the correct Network Adapter.
After doing this I created a VM-1 and tried to assign the IP address given by the Network Admin. But the network Admin did not provide me the default gateway so I used the deafult gateway according to the IP address and used the last digit as "1"
like a general installation.
Now my question is: 1.How can I use this VM to be used as a Virtual server?
2. I would like to open this VM through my browser by entering the IP address of this VM-1. How can I do this?
Because I access my physical server through the IP address. SO in the similar way I want to access this VM-1 through the IP address
OR is there any alternate way to access this VM-1 separately.
My Requirement: I need to give VM-1 access to another admin to Install his application on it. SO how to give him to access this VM directly?
This is my main query.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahmed

Jawin, Jacob, etc.. are fine for creating COM clients but COM servers is a totally different story. I suspect you'll either have to write your own JNI or get out your C/C++ compiler.

Internal DNS server and NAT routing issue.

Hi -- I am not terribly experienced with DNS and I am running into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. My company.com DNS information is hosted by an outside ISP for email, web, etc... but I have configured an A record there to point to the public IP to my mac os x server (server.company.com).
We have a cisco router configured with one to one NAT from the public IP to the internal IP for our server in a 192.168.15.x subnet. The same router is running DHCP and and NAT on that subnet under a different public IP provided by our ISP.
Our server is running DNS with recursion and has a "company.private" zone set up for internal services and machine names. Thus, the server is accessible via "server.company.com" from the outside and "server.company.private" from the private LAN.
The problem is that I would like to be able to access some services simply via "server.company.com" both inside and outside the private network. Now, accessing the "server.company.com" services from the private lan does not work because the name resolves to the external IP and the external IP cannot be used internally due to NAT.
Is there a way to configure my internal DNS server to respond with the appropriate private address when receiving a query only to "server.company.com" and forward requests on for anything else on "company.com"?
I know that I could manually duplicate all entries for our domain from my ISP and host the same entries for internal clients, but it would be much easier to only have our server handle requests for itself. The server is running OS X Server 10.4.11.
Thanks

Is there a way to configure my internal DNS server to respond with the appropriate private address when receiving a query only to "server.company.com" and forward requests on for anything else on "company.com"?
Ordinarily, no. Once your server thinks it is responsible for a zone (e.g. company.com) then it will answer all queries for that domain and never pass them upstream. Therefore you'd have to replicate all the zone data, including all the public records, and maintain them both.
The one possible exception to this (I haven't tried) is to create a zone for server.company.com that has your internal address. In theory (like I said, I haven't tried this), the server should respond to 'server.company.com' lookups with its own zone data and defer all other lookups (including other company.com names since they're not in a zone it controls). Might be worth trying.

Virtual server and client command

Hi,
I want to configure firewall load balancing as follows. I have 3 firewalls, FW1, FW2, FW3. I want to create a serverfarm for each FW, i.e. FW1 in SF1, FW2 in SF2, and FW3 in SF3. Then, we'd like to create two Virtual server VS1 and VS2. Each Virtual server has Server Farm SF2 as a backup server farm. I.e. SF1 is the active server farm for VS1, and SF2 is the backup server farm for VS1. We also have SF3 is the active server farm for VS2, and SF2 is the backup server farm for VS3. Note that all connections to VS1 and VS2 will come from the same VLAN (e.g. VLAN X). So the configuration of the virtual server I think should be as follows ;
vserver VS1
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 25
client 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
vserver VS2
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 25
client 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
So, the question I have is, will this work if we filter who can access the virtual server using the client commmand ? I.e. clients coming from 192.168.1.0 will be using VS1 and clients coming from 192.168.2.0 will be using VS2.
Thanks !

The 'client' command should work as you expect.
You'll need to add the 'serverfarm' command under each vserver. Ex:
serverfarm SF1
real 1.1.1.1
serverfarm SF2
real 2.2.2.2
serverfarm SF3
real 3.3.3.3
vserver VS1
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tcp 25
serverfarm SF1 backup SF2
client 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
vserver VS2
virtual 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 tcp 25
serverfarm SF3 backup SF2
client 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
I am assuming that you will be using different IP addresses for each vserver. Is that correct?

Problem with passive mode FTP server and NAT

Hi,
I have a problem with Passive mode FTP and NAT.
I am trying to run both an FTP server and sharing the Internet connection via NAT. I have by the way specified the passive ports to use in ftpaccess (65000-65534). Everything works fine until someone tries to connect via Passive mode. I have tracked the problem down to the firewall and the rule that handles NAT.
Firewall rule config without NAT:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
Firewall rule config with NAT
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
So, passive ports do not work when NAT is on. If I turn it off, Passive ftp works like a charm.
But how do I solve my problem? I have in my quest for the answer stumbled upon "-punch_fw" but do not know how to use it or if it even helps me at all?
Best regards,

Virtual server and Firewall

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a too basic question. I'm trying to understand how our system works as I'm not the one that set it up in the first place. The Firewall crashed today and needed rebooted. When connected to the the server it says "Kernel-Power" and
ID 41 so to me it sounds like the server shut down unexpectedly but I'm not sure. When the Firewall was rebooted everything was working fine again. So I have several questions that I'm thinking of. How can I figure out what really happened? Did the server
shut down or was it just the firewall? Is it possible that the server (or client computers) sent information through the firewall, the firewall's cache got fully loaded and couldn't give a response and because the server didn't get a response it rebooted and
the firewall crashed? Sounds unlikely, doesn't it. I maybe should say that when the firewall was down, as I said, I could access the server through RDC but the firewall was completely inaccessible so I had to press the physical power button to restart the
Firewall. And the last week the network overall has been going very slow (which I tried to resolve yesterday by rebooting the routers that we have and that seemed to work).
Thankful for any ideas!

Hyper V internal network no ping between real and virtual server

Hi
I have a 2012 server with a static 192.168.1.102 ip address and a 255.255.255.0 subnetmask. This server can be pinged by other servers.
On this server I have Hyper V installed, and configured a virtual
internal network switch.
In Hyper V, I installed a 2012 server, using the virtual internal network switch, with the static 192.168.1.111 ip address and 255.255.255.0 subnetmask. The virtual server can ping other virtual computers using the same virtual internal network switch.
However, the host server can't ping the virtual server and vice versa. What am I doing wrong? I there something else that needs to be configured?

Hi,
If you want to connected your guest vm and your host you must setting this vms to the same virtual switch and at the same subnet, the Hyper-V internal virtual switch can't connect the host directly.

Blue screen error after converting physical to virtual server using disk2vhd

I have used the sysinternals disk2vhd to create the c: drive from a Dell server. I was able to create a virtual server and boot but had licensing issues. After a support call and doing a repair install to change licensing I am now getting a: "a process or
thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated" after the virtual machine boots and I log on. I tried to get the integration services installed but the server wouldn't stay running long enough.
Any suggestions for resolution would be appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried the suggestion? I want to see if the information provided was helpful. Your feedback is very useful
for the further research. Please feel free to let me know if you have addition questions.

Increase disk size for virtual server

Hi,
A virtual server system drive is currently at 90%full. How to safely allocate more disk space to the system drive of that virtual server without causing issues to the installed Operating systems on that drive.
I read through the Virtual Iron documentation and nothing mention about increasing disk space for virtual server.
Thanks in advance for response.

Hi,
I was hoping to increase the virtual storage of the drive attached to virtual servers and not the actually physical storage.
I was looking around in it and found was able to increase the disk space by by editing the virtual storage disk.
I tested creating a new disk (5GB), increase the disk space(10GB) and login to virtual server and extend the new disk with the unallocated disk space.
It does seem to work and appear as 15GB.
I just concern if windows operating is installed on that disk, will it cause any issue if I extend it with the unallocated disk space?
Or it's safe to do so?
Many thanks.

Virtual Server fails to compile JSP pages -repeat

I'm running iWS 6.0 SP2 using jdk 1.3
I have 4 virtual servers defined each serving out HTML pages and everything runs fine.
I'm building a 5th VS and I need it to support JSPs and nothing works...

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Not related to the problem but you shouldn't really be using JDK 1.3 (use JDK 1.3.1 if you need to use JDK 1.3+). As for the problem, the problem seems to be you don't seem to be ling web application. Could you add a web application with context root as "/" for the virtual server and I am positive this problem should go away.

10.6.3 virtual server anomalies

Sure could use some help here. I've installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Server in a virtual machine via Parallels. For a brief period I was able to ping this virtual server and even connect to it from Server Admin on my "real" Mac partition. There seemed to be no problem in connecting to the virtual server via its IP of 10.211.55.7 even though the "real" Mac side uses 10.0.1.3.
I've been trying to teach myself via a manual about Open Directory and at one point worked on getting my virtual server to have proper DNS zones. It took me awhile, but eventually I got the DNS fixed and there was a valid machine entry and reverse zone for the DNS name I had give to the virtual server.
This was where I got into trouble. Although my DNS entries in the server seem to be working just fine, I've lost the ability to connect from the "real" Mac and I cannot even ping the virtual server anymore. It would seem a no-brainer in that the virtual server is on one virtual subnet and the real Mac is on it's own real subnet; but that's how it was before I did the DNS entries and I was able to remotely connect at that time - hence my confusion. Since I'm learning I don't really yet know how to resolve this conundrum and could use some enlightening. Thanks.

Changed everything to bridged networking and all is well.

SJSW7-Directing virtual server log

all my virtual server logging are stored in the default directory. I have one instance running, however, I would like to create a separate folder for each virtual server and store their log information in it. I tried configuring a virtual server under log preferences and have both server log and access log boxes checked and the location set but after testing it out, both directories are empty.

I already applied changes and reboot instance. my virtual server that I'm configuring is "uc.memphis.edu"

TMS server and WinSXS - HD space issues

I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with disk space on their TMS servers? I'm running TMS 14.4.2 on a virtual server, and my hard drive is filling up with various files. I have gone in an deleted some old software versions from the TMS folder, but the big culprit is my Windows directory! It is currently at 25GB and growing - inetpub and winsxs are the problem folders.
Various windows forums say that there isn't anything you can do about the files in winsxs, and Cisco TAC advised me to carefully remove some files from the inetpub folder (subfolder Logs). Am I the only one having these issues?
The TMS installation guide states that only 4GB of disk space is required for the application footprint, but doesn't say what the recommended harddrive size is. Let me clarify this, however - I'm using an external SQL database - NOT local.
My TMS server has been acting odd lately, and I have had to restart some services from time to time, or do a full reboot. I'm quite certain that my VM server is running as per Cisco's recommendations:
Cisco TMS can be installed in a virtualized server environment as long as the virtual machine is allocated
sufficient dedicated resources to meet the server and hardware requirements for installation. The resources
allocated to the Cisco TMS server instance must be dedicated, and not shared with other server instances.
My OS is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Service Pack 1., 7GB RAM, Intel Xeon CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60 GHz 2.60 GHz, 64 bit.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Would be interesting to know which HD size you provisioned and how much free space you have left now. I always recommend around or more than 100GB for the C: drive then you most like have no stress.
Storage is cheap, trouble you have now is stressful.
Many strange symptoms of TMS can be fixed by deinstalling and reinstalling TMS (and TMSPE if used) connecting the same DBs afterwards
As you use an external database, what you could do is to stop the old TMS, install a new windows server and TMS and then reconnect to the same database. If you do not trust you windows nor the TMS install.
(also possibe, deinstall tms on the old one, resize the partition, reinstall TMS).
This guide is a bit older but might help you here as well:

Sure, strangeness of TMS could also be an issue with the DB, OS, something in your network, ...
