Vmware fault tolerance en esx 4.1

Buenas tardes, tengo el siguiente problema, cuento con una maquina con fault tolerance activado con dos discos uno de 100gb y otro de 1tb, recientemente tube problemas de performance ya que los discos estaban llegando al maximo de capacidad, el dia de hoy apago la vm y desactivo ft para aumentar de 100 a 150gb y de 1 a 1.1tb, tenia entendido que el scrubbing solo afectaria los 150gb para formato eagerzeroed pero llevo ya mas de 8 horas esperando a que concluya el proceso, mi pregunta puntual existe alguna formula para saber cuando termina el proceso, por q esta afectando al parecer toda la vm cuando solo aumente 150gb, de verdad si alguien me puede orientar
Saludos gracias

Hi Christophe,
first of all, the warning you see is not critical. It is just a standard warning that comes up when a standard theshold of memory usage is reached. The 4 GB RAM you have left on the host should be sufficient to cover the memory allocation overheads of the VMs and the memory that is needed by the ESX hypervisor.
I assume you reserved 100 % of the assigned memory (mandatory for SAP virtualization). Reserved memory cannot be used by other VMs, therefore it is "not assignable" from the perspective of the hypervisor. This could be the reason why the threshold of the warning is reached although the utilization inside the guest ("active" memory) is low.
Kind regards,
Matthias

  • Experience VMware Fault Tolerance with Central Services/SRM for Appl Servs?

    Hello all, I am looking for real-life experience of VMware Fault Tolerance enabled for SAP Central Services (ABAP/Java). FT is valid only for 1 vCPU VM's, therefor a probable good match with CS. Tips & trics are welcome.
    If SRM is available, is it worthwhile to use it for protecting Application Servers in a dual datacenter? That way, the full capacity is guaranteed even after a disaster (resources should be available of course in the surviving DC).
    So, are the VMware features like SRM and FT actually being used to protect SAP environments, and if yes, to any satisfaction?
    Thanks in advance for your replies,
    Roland

    Hi Roland,
    Did you finally use VMWare Fault Tolerance ? what has been your experience?
    thanks,

  • What is the difference with 1 Lync Standard Edition using VMware Fault Tolerant and 2 Lync Enterprise Edition in a cluster

    Hi
    As I will be planning to setup Lync on a virtual environment regardless if it is going to be the Standard or Enterprise edition.
    I am thinking if we use 1 Lync Standard Edition for the FE Server with Fault Tolerance enabled, would it be as good as having 2 Lync Enterprise Edition in a cluster?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    the main difference between using Lync enterprise and lync standard is the High availability and scalability feature,
    you will get fault tolrance setup with one lync standard edition running on whatever hyper-v and vmware platform, however this will not be an optimum highly available solution for the simple reason that upon a host server failure the image will move
    to another available host server and users will lose their active session durin the move process.
    on the other hand what you will gain if you the Enterprise edition is that you will have a unique identity to which all lync clients will be connecting and this identity is the lync pool identity which is in the background handled with multiple Front-End
    servers and AV conferencing pools, mediation pools and so on.
    In additioin when you have multiple front-ends in place, those front-ends will not work in active/passive mode as in a regular cluster, in contrairy all the servers will be active and handeling the work load.
    hope i make it a bit clear, if yiu need more info i am ready

    Thanks for the response, being a small environment of 300 users, standard edition would be more than enough for me but the fact for HA is very critical for me at this stage. That is why I am exploring the option of using VMware FT.
    I don't quick get what you mean on the users having to move to another image as my understanding of FT is in the event of a host failure (not VM failure like bluescreen etc), the VM will fail over to another host with no lost in any ping etc.
    So, in theory, the Lync Server VM would never know that the parent ESX host had failed and it needed to failover to another host. Hope my understanding is correct.
    Thanks

  • Exchange Server 2013 deployment on VMware Fault Tolerance

    Hi People,
    Instead of using the DAG feature on the Exchange Server 2013, so what is the caveats in deploying the Exchange Server 2013 stand alone and then implementing the Vmware FT or at least HA to give the availability at the Hypervisor level ?

    Hey AlbertWT,
    With Exchange 2010, try not to think of entire servers as being active or passive.  Instead, think of database copies as being active or passive.  Your Mailbox role virtual machine can contain both active and passive copies of databases within your DAG.
    Think of a scenario where you have three virtual machines running the Exchange 2010 Mailbox role and you have a total of three databases.  You would have an active copy of each database and then presumably two passive copies as well.  That there is only one active database on a Mailbox server at a time, and if that server fails there are two other copies that can come online automatically.
    In the case of vSphere HA, if you lose a host that's running a Mailbox server, that active database would automatically be brought up on one of the two surviving Mailbox servers. vSphere HA would then automatically restart that failed virtual machine on another host and you'd quickly be back to having three Exchange Mailbox servers online.
    Does that help clarify things for you?

  • Fault tolerance

    Hi support,
    there is an oss note certifying the use of fault tolerance vSphere 4.1 in production environment?
    I have read the best practices for its use with MSCS, but I find no note
    Thanks a lot

    Hello,
    unfortunately, we did not mention the use of VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) in an SAP Note so far. But it is supported.
    The use case for FT is quite limited as FT only support Virtual Machines with 1 vCPU. In an SAP environment, we recommend using FT for the SAP System Central Services (SCS / ASCS). See the [SAP HA Best Practices Guide|http://www.vmware.com/resources/techresources/10031]. Note: this is not about using FT in connection with MSCS (which is not supported afaik), but rather descirbing alternatives.
    Kind regards,

  • Fault Tolerance in Nested Lab

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to set up FT in a nested lab.I have followed the instructions on How to configure VMware Fault Tolerance on native and in “nested” ESXi environments | I wish I could… (German).
    But after I turn on FT and then try to start the VM I get the following error message:
    I have already tried to set the fsr.maxSwitchoverSeconds value to 100 or even higher but I always get the same message with 8 seconds.
    Are there any other known sources for this error?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    have you also looked at the restrictions this FT feature has? As far as my information goes it can only be used with 1 CPU, not to mention the overhead it produces, since all instructions have to be executed on 2 nodes.
    Also this feature only helps you if your whole guest system crashes. What if your software inside the VM crashes? It will not run in both environments.
    If you are looking for real HA (in virtualized environments), I suggest using RAC in OVM. It will get you down to 30 seconds but will do far better regarding functionality.

  • Live migration with Fault Tolerance (FT)?

    Dose the new version of VM server for SPARC (2.1) have an option for live migration with Fault Tolerance (seemlier to VMware FT)? while live migration is great it dose not protect against a server failure vs something like live migration with FT would makes this seamless.
    Thanks,
    -Eli

    Hi,
    Thank you very much.
    I tried SiteSurvey Plugin, now i know why it doesn't work
    These ESX hosts are not compatible with FT, but may contain VMs that are:
    esxi02.vclass.local
    CPU type Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz is not supported by FT.

    Hi,
    I'm trying to test vSphere 5.5.
    So i have 5 physical machines : 2 ESXi, 1 Domain Controller, 1 vCenter, and a Freenas for iSCSI.
    ESXi01 : Intel Core i3 540 with 8 GB RAM and 120 GB SSD, 2 NIC

    Hosted an OpenBSD VM (128 MB RAM, 1vCPU)
    I tested :
    - vMotion works
    - High Availability works (with EVC enabled).
    Now I tried Fault Tolerance : no success
    To have FT, do i need absolutely the same CPU on the 2 ESXi ?? Any advices ?

  • Load Balancing & Fault tolerance in Oracle Apps

    Hello
    I am pretty new to Oracle Apps and Oracle 9iAS
    We are trying to asked to find out the ways of deplying load balancing and fault tolerance in Oracle Apps
    I have gone thru the following articles of metalink and some more from google
    Configuring Web Cache as a Load Balancer for Application Servers
    Create new middle tier node in existing Apps 11i environment using cloning and then load balance

    In Oracle Apps Concepts pdf, found that
    Load balancing occurs when there are multiple installations of web server, forms server, reports server, concurrent manager server etc
    Lets consider forms server component of middle tier
    Can there be multiple INSTANCES of forms server within SINGLE INSTALLATION ???
    If it has to be MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS, then it will require multiple physical machines
    What is software load balancing then ???
    Also read that
    Oracle 9i AS instance is combition of Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) and one or more instances of Oracle9iAS Container for J2EE (OC4J)
    Thus software load balancing can be implemented for Web server component of middle tier using multiple instances of OC4J ???
    Forms metrix server configuration is hardware load balancing ??
    What about Oracle9iAS Web Cache clustering ??
    Please clarify the doubts and suggest me the way
    Thanks a lot

  • Fault Tolerance - MCS 7825 H3 & MCS 7835 H2 Servers

    But after enabling fault tolerance and restarting the server also i didn't see any change in the MAC ID. Its the same MAC ID.
    Pls advice.

  • Deterministic Fault Tolerant Load Balancing

    The USA has an unfortunate penchant for granting patents that arguably do not merit patent protection. Some of these are things that are blindingly obvious. Others are just not sufficiently inventive.
    Anyway, since I have no funds for patent searches, nor patent applications, and there are some other complications, I've decided to post this to establish prior-art for an algorithm. I don't claim that the algorithm is clever, nor novel, nor even that it violates no existing patents. This posting is simply to ensure that to the extent that someone might be granted a patent on it, they can't, because it has already been published.
    The Java connection is that I've done a fair amount of the work required to turn this into a real system in Java.
    Suppose you have set of processors, p0 thru pn-1, and each piece of work to be performed by a processor has some number k associated with it. The problem is to allocate the work roughly equally across the subset of processors that are actually functioning. Further, over a period of time, a series of related pieces of work may arrive with the same k. To the maximum possible extent you want each of the related pieces of work to be handled by the same processor. If a processor fails, you want its work to be distributed across the remaining processors, but still maintaining the property that pieces of work with a given value for k are handled by the same processor. In general we assume that the k values are randomly spread through a large number space.
    The motivation for these requirements is that for a given k the processor may be caching information that improves performance. Or it may be enforcing some invariant, such as in a lock manager where each request for a given lock must go to the same processor, or it clearly won't function.
    To achieve this, construct a list of integers of size n. Element i contains i if processor i is functional, and -1 otherwise.
    Calculate k mod n, and use the result as an index into the list. If the value contained there is non-negative, then it is the number of the processor to use. If it is -1, remove the element from the list, decrement the value of n and repeat. Continue until a processor number is found.
    This scheme is fault tolerant to a degree, in that the resulting system has a high level of availability.
    It also has the property that the failure of a processor only impacts on the allocation of pieces of work that would have been allocated to the failed processor. It does not result in a complete rearrangement of the work allocations. This makes things a lot simpler when dealing with things like distributed lock managers.
    The fault tolerance can be improved by an extension of the algorithm that allows a distributed master/slave arrangement, where the master number for a given k is determined as above, and a slave number is obtained by treating the master as if it were not functioning. Each processor is a master for some subset of the k values, and is a slave for another subset. For any given master, each of the other processors is a slave for a roughly equal portion of the given master's subset of the k values.
    There are some boring details that I've not discussed, such as how an entity wanting work to be done determines which processors are functioning, and the stuff related to the exact sequence of steps that must be performed when a processor breaks, or is repaired. I don't believe anyone could patent them because once you start thinking about it, the steps are pretty obvious.

    I wouldn't be so sure that a simple post to the java forums
    is all you need to prove this 'prior-art' is it ?
    Don't you need to actually use it? Or have you seen a laywer
    and this was their advice. Even if you have no money for it Im sure
    there are free legal services; even universities, you could contact.
    I don't believe anyone could patent them because once you
    start thinking about it, the steps are pretty obvious.The steps of anything a generally simple, it's the putting-them-together
    that you can patent :)

  • WL 7.0 Fault-tolerant stateful beans. (Newbie)

    Hello,
    I was wondering if in WL 7.0 there is a way to make a stateful session
    bean automatically persist its state without having to be passivated
    as a whole.
    The bean that I need to build would persist its state to a DB each

    this bean fault tolerant without having to serialize the whole object

    I heard that WL 7.0 has a new feature that can make this happen but I
    can't seem to find any info on this. Could anyone point me into the
