Windows 2003 Standard Edition (Cluster Configuration Storage page)

I am trying to install RAC R2 on windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition). I am using FireWire 800 SIIG to connect to Maxtor OneTouch III External HDD.
When installing cluster Services, i do not see the Cluster Storage Devices. When i go to Computer Management, i see all the partitions of the raw device.
One "Cluster Configuration Storage" page, the Available Disks show no partitions.
Oracle installtion documentation says "On the Cluster Configuration Storage page, identify the disks that you want to use for the Oracle Clusterware files and, optionally, Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS) storage. Highlight each of these disks one at a time and click Edit to open the Specify Disk Configuration page where you define the details for the selected disk"
In my case, i do not see any disks. What am i missing?
Any Thoughts. Please advise
Thanks

You have a more fundamental problem, Firewire disks will not work for RAC on Windows. The storage needs to be shared, Firewire disks can't be shared on Windows. On Linux, Oracle took the open source firewire driver and modified it to allow more than one host to connect. On Windows the driver is closed source so they can't do that.
I presume you are wanting to try-out RAC on Windows, If so another solution may be to download one of the many iSCSI Servers that are available. Microsoft ship an iSCSI Initiator for Windows, this allows you to share a 'block device' which is what RAC needs - then you can choose your RAC Database storage method of choice, ASM, OCFS, RAW. I prefer ASM

PC Netlink 2.0 and Windows 2003 Standard Edition

Does anyone know if a Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server can be added as a Domain Member Server to a PC Netlink 2.0 domain?
When I try to join the domain I receive the message;
"The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "DomainName":<br />
<br />
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute."
Thanks
Peter

I have the same Problem; no solution yet.
Accroding to Sun Support Doc # 72542.
PC Netlink is based on NT 4.0 Server.
At the highest level it implements NT 4.0 protocols.
.NET clients, such as Windows 2003, implement a different protocol.

Migrating windows 2003 standard edition to windows 2008 enterprise edition

Hi
We are using ECC 5.0 and our PRD system is running on windows 2003 standard edition,and recently we have got some physical memory problem.as windows 2003 standard edition supports only 4 GB of RAM. and we want to extend our RAM for that we are planning to upgrade os to windows 2008 enterprise edition,is that possible.and after upgrading OS what are the activities that need to be performed for SAP to run succesfully,kindly suggest.
Regards
Pranav

Hi Markus
I read note SAP Note 690432 - Windows 2003 Support in it regarding upgradation of os windows 2003 standard edition to windows 2003 enterprise edition.
Upgrade of Your Operating System
If you upgrade an existing SAP system to Windows Server 2003 perform the
following actions:
o Install the latest R3DLLINS
You find the latest dynamic link libraries R3DLLINS for Windows
Server 2003 on the EXT-Kernel CD in the NTPATCH directory.
o Replace the R/3 kernel with the EXT-Kernel.
If you do not replace it you will get error "SICK" after the first
logon attempt after the start.
In this case, download the disp+work package(s) from the SAP
Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/patches and unpack the
patch(es) to directory usr\sap\exe:
dw*_<patch-level>
Use at least patch level 186.
o Use the latest saposcol version.
This version supports the changed performance counter of Windows
Server 2003 to determine values for ST06 and RZ20.
You can find the latest version in file saposcol_<Patch Level>.CAR.
in the SAP Service Marketplace.
o SAP DB only: See SAP Note 315237.o Compatibility of the Hardware with Windows Server 2003
You can perform the upgrade to Windows Server 2003 only if the
hardware has been explicitly released for this purpose. To check,
do one of the following:
- If the Windows Server 2003 CD is available, check compatibility
with WINNT32.EXE in the \I386 directory. The exact statement
is: <DRIVE:>\I386\WINNT32 /CHECKUPGRADEONLY. The result is
stored as text file WINNT32.LOC in the present Windows
directory (e.g. C:\WINNT).
- The hardware has successfully passed SAP hardware certification
(http://www.addon.de).
- The hardware is contained in the Microsoft Hardware
Compatibility List (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl).
- The hardware has been released for Windows Server 2003 by the
manufacturer. This information is published on the
corresponding website.
o Kerberos Single Sign-On
When the SAP system is installed on Windows Server 2003 you can
setup the Kerberos Single Sign-On. If you use the kerberos protocol
the information exchanged between the SAP frontend and the
application server for authentication is encrypted.
The procedure for setting up Single Sign-On is described in all
recent installation guides which you can download from the SAP
Service Marketplace at: service.sap.com/instguides.
o SAP domain under Windows Server 2003
Follow the instructions of the Windows documentation for the
migration of a Windows NT 4 domain to Windows 2003. For the SAP
environment some additional points need to be observed.
For Windows NT 4 there are two models for the SAP system domain:
- Single domain
All users and the SAP system build one single domain. This
domain can be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and exist there
as single domain.
- Additional domain
There is one domain for the users and a second domain for the
SAP system(s). For a migration to Windows Server 2003 the SAP
system domain has to be created as child domain under the user
domain. A "Top-down" procedure is to be used. The higher domain
(the user domain) must be migrated prior to the SAP child
domain. If the user and SAP domain is part of a larger domain
structure the complete domain structure for Windows Server 2003
needs to be planned in a preparing phase. Usually, the
structure created under Windows NT 4 has to be re-arranged and
consolidated.
The name space of the root domain and all sub-ordinated domains
has to be defined and the distribution of the DNS services
needs to be determined.
Note the following:
The SAP domain has to be created as child domain.
The SAP domain must not be converted into an organizational
unit (OU). OUs are not supported by R3SETUP and R3up.
in it nowhere it is mentioned about system copy so plz suggest.

No partitions avalilable on Page Cluster configuration storage

hello all,
I am trying to install RAC R2 on windows Server 2003 (Standard Edition) with 2 nodes.
When installing Clusterware. I can't see all the partitions of the raw device but When i go to Computer Management, i see all of them.
One "Cluster Configuration Storage" page, the Available Disks show no partitions.
I have check the next document:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14207/storage.htm#sthref244 But Unfortunately I can´t solve the problem
Please Advice, Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ivan R

I presume you have tried and failed to install a few times and each time the list of partitions available has decreased.
if you have access to metalink you should see note :341214.1 on how to correctly clean up a failed install.

Is there a limit for SGA_MAX_SIZE on windows Server 2003 Standard Edition

I have a 9.2.0.8 Standard Edition running on windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. I cannot set SGA_MAX_SIZE to more than 1.7G. I have total of 3G RAM on that machine.

In order to use memory over 4 GB the /PAE flag must be set and Oracle must be tuned
accordingly. As mentioned above, for using memory over 4 GB and less than 16 GB, the
/3GB flag can be set as well. Oracle uses memory above 4 GB by taking advantage of
the AWE (Address Windowing Extension) feature built into Windows 2000, Windows
2003 and Windows XP.
In order to use this memory, the Oracle administrator account (either LocalSystem or the
domain user that installed Oracle) must have the “Lock memory pages” privilege set. In
addition the AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY parameter must also be created and set. This
parameter specifies how much of the 3 GB virtual memory space allocated to Oracle
should be used for mapping database buffers. The default value of 1GB should be
sufficient and increasing this value could be detrimental, since you only have 3 GB of
virtual memory to use. The higher the value of AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY that you
have set, the more likely it is that you will experience user memory issues. Start with the
default value of 1 GB and tune upwards only if you need to.
Once these steps have been completed, larger memory can be set by configuring
DB_BLOCK_SIZE and DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS initialization parameters. When using
Very Large Memory (VLM) you should use DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS rather than
DB_CACHE_SIZE in order to configure memory.

No shared disks visible in the Cluster Configuration Storage dialog

When installing the Oracle 10g clusterware the "Cluster Configuration Storage" dialog shows no shared disks.
We are using:
Windows 2003 Server
HP Eva 4400

Hello,
all disks in cluster are visible from all nodes (2 of them).
We tested it with unpartioned and partioned disks (primary and extended). No way to make them visible for the OUI.
Automount is enabled in Windows like required from Oracle.
Besides, we are using Standard Edition. Therefore we have to work with ASM.
Any more information needed.
Thanx in advance.

Physical to Virtual Migration Approach for Exchange CCR 2007 on Windows 2003 Ent Edition

Hi Team,
I am running Two exchange 2007 CCR in my environment on Physical node on windows 2003 ENT edition. MY Hardware is end of life and we are planning to migrate/Converting them into virtual environmnet running Vsphere 5.1.
can any one let me know the best approach to virtualize exchange CCR .
Exchange CCR details are :-
Windows 2003 Ent edition.
Excahnge 2007.
Quorum is configuraed on shared folder.
Exchange Primary replicating Data on Exchange Secondry ..Both Primary and Secondry are having Raid 10 Local Disks.

Hi Ravi,
you can take a couple of approaches here. First off, I want to make sure you are not wanting to do a P2V conversion, that is taking the OS image that is running on the physical host and, using VMware Converter, create a virtual machine from it. You could do it that way but, depending on how much mail data is there it could take a long time and it's not the preferred approach for Exchange.
I'm going to make a couple of assumptions here:
I'm assuming upgrading to Exchange 2010 is out of the question (if it is not just do that and move mailboxes )
I'm assuming that there is plenty of storage in the vSphere environment to satisfy the requirements of Exchange. Obviously you would have to provide enough storage for all mail data x 2 if you want to continue with CCR.
Your message says "local disks", so I'm guessing the RAID 10 you mention is not available for use for these virtual machines and that you will provide some type of shared storage.
So, if you have enough compute within a vSphere cluster and enough storage (capacity and IO) to satisfy CCR I see two options:
Leapfrog approach
1. Shutdown passive
2. Evict passive from CCR cluster
3. Create new VM, Clustering services, Exchange/add as passive to the cluster (you could run setup in recovery mode /m:recoverserver, but I don't see why you would want to in a cluster)
4. Seed databases
5. Failover
6. Repeat for other physical
New Cluster
1. Create two new VMs
2. Create new CCR Cluster
3. Install Exchange active/passive
4. Move mailboxes
5. Decomm physicals
Obviously these are very high level but the approaches are straight forward. If this is your only set of Exchange servers in the environment you will have to account for any public folders/system folders, etc. Take some time and check out compute usage in the current environment so you are sure you have plenty of compute in the vSphere environment, especially if you are moving into a shared environment.

Using Windows 2003 enterprise edition?

Hi,
I am about to install a SAP j2ee instance in windows 2003.
I was under the impression that only Windows 2003 enterprise edition was supported/recommended for SAP productive instances. Enterprise version is costly compared to standard version.
Now, it looks like standard edition is acceptable itf you can handle memory limits (4GB for 32-bit and 32GB for 64-bit).
Can someone confirm my assumption?
thanks.

Hi Eric. From instguide you can use this servers for 64 bit (example for Central System) :
Windows Server 2003 :
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition
For any version of Windows Server, you need the
latest supported service pack.
A suitable Windows Resource Kit is strongly
recommended.
You can't use 32 bit for Production system, in any case for release NW SR3 -->
you can't even install on 32 bit platform.
P.S. for HA for example you can't use Standart Edition ...
P.P.S for example read this

BPC for NetWeaver OS requirement - Windows 2003 Standard vs. Enterprise

Hello BPC Expert,
I have a question in regard to the Windows Server 2003 edition for SAP BPC 7.0 for NetWeaver. On the Installation Guide of BPC NetWeaver SP03, the prerequisite for the Operating System for .NET Server component is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.
My question: will Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition work for .NET component? We have a budget concern as the Enterprise Edition will cost couple more thousands than standard.
Thank you,
Bomo

Hi,
Yes you can use the Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (32-bit and 64-bit). Shouldnt be a problem.
Thanks.

Can JDK1.3.1_16 be installed on Microsoft Server 2003, Standard Edition?

Hello,
I installed SDK1.3.1 update 16 on a computer with the operating system Microsoft Server 2003, Standard Edition.
The JAVA_HOME variable was NOT automatically created as part of the installation. So I created it myself.
I installed a voice recognition browser afterwards (that requires JDK1.3.1 update 06 or later) and it could not detect that the appropriate JDK had been installed and/or the JAVA_HOME variable had been set correctly.
Is it normal for the JAVA_HOME variable to not be created automatically? If this is not normal, what could be the problem and how can I rectify it? Again I need a version of JDK 1.3.1 for the browser to work.
Thanks,
Bonnie

Hi Bonnie
Maybe a bit late to comment, but for the record...
I just tried to install JDK1.3.1 on a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 (version 5.2.3790) server.
I initially tried to install 1.3.1_13, but java -version failed quietly with following error in eventvwr logs:
Faulting application java.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module jvm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000bc1f8.
The application, C:\jdk1.3.1_13\jre\bin\java.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 03/30/2006 @ 08:47:35.425 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 6D4DC1F8 (jvm!gHotSpotVMIntConstantEntryValueOffset)I tried uninstalling and reinstalling JDK from Add|Remove Programs, but without success.
I then tried 1.3.1_8 and it worked fine first time.
I then tried 1.3.1_12 and it failed with this eventvwr message
Faulting application java.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module jvm.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x000bc1f8.
The exception generated was c0000005 at address 6D4DC1F8 (jvm!gHotSpotVMIntConstantEntryValueOffset)The 1.3.1 documentation that I've read doesn't explicitly mention support for Server 2003.
In contrast, 1.4 explicitly supports Server 2003.

8 vcpu for Windows 2008 Standard Edition Guest

Hi,
Due to a software requirement, I'm investigating the possibility of creating an 8 vcpu Windows 2008 Standard Edition 64-bit guest.
In Vsphere, its possible to create an 8 vcpu windows 2008 Standard Edition guest by configuring the "cpuid.coresPerSocket" parameter to 2, which allows the Standard Edition windows license to see 8 cores without violating the standard licensing which caps it at 4 processors.
Is there a similar functionality in Oracle VM Server?
Thanks.
Terence

Hi Simon,
Read that link you sent and I believe it allows us to play around with cpu cores in Windows Standard Editions in virtual environments.
"Software run in a virtual OSE is licensed based on the number of virtual processors used by that virtual OSE. If the physical processors in the server have two cores, each virtual processor also has two cores from a licensing perspective."
So its up to us to configure the cores as it defaults to single core for each vcpu.
I've tested in vsphere using 4 vcpus and setting it for 2 cores each. The OS sees only 2 processors but I've got 4 threads in task manager. If I revert to 4 single core vcpus, the OS sees 4 processors.
I'm trying to see if I can do the same in Oracle VM and am trying to understand the cpuid setting in the vm.cfg. The examples given in xmexample.hvm-stubdom are for Intel 8 core and AMD 5 core but all I have is AMD dual core.
So trying to figure out how to set it correctly in my situation. Haven't found any detailed documentation for configuring those ebx, ecx, edx settings.

Microsoft server 2003 standard edition r2 x64 bit product shows invalid product.

Dear all,
I am facing a problem, to register Microsoft server 2003 standard edition r2 x64 bit. My product key is ok. But on time of registration this product it will not accept my key or on Microsoft product registration support it's show its a invalid product.
Please help me to register this product.
Thanks
Puneet

You need to contact Microsoft's Activation Center and talk to someone. The phone numbers for reaching them are on the activation page you go through when trying to activate manually. Apparently the activation code you have is not 'ok', and only
Microsoft can help you with that.
A second thought is where did you get the media? If not from a reputable Microsoft source, then it could be the copy you have is a pirated copy with a key that Microsoft has deactivated. Again, only Microsoft can tell you.
