Windows 2008 x64 comliance with failsafe

I have to install failsafe in a windows server 2008 x64 OS and after that an oracle db 10.2.0.x
From articles that I've read failsafe server 3.4.1.x (3.4.1.6 is the latest from what i've seen in metalink) is compatible with windows server 2008 x64 but not its failsafe manager.
From another article it says that the manager of failsafe server 3.4.2 is compatible with windows server 2008 x64 but i can't find anywhere that version (metaling, oracle, edelivery).
Has anyone got any idea which release of failsafe i need to install into my windows server 2008 x64 in order to have also the failsafe manager available and also where to find that release?
Thanks

I have spoken with Oracle support and they told me the download is not available yet but will be soon. This was as of 11/23/2009. We are trying to install the same version on windows 2008 64-bit.
Supposedly the 3.4.1.6 32-bit Oracle failsafe client manager will work with the Windows 2008 64-bit machine. I have tried to find the download on the web but it is not available yet. We shall see when they have it available.

IFilter 9/SQL2005 on windows 2008 x64 SP2

Hi,
We have installed iFilter 9 on our database server (windows 2008 x64 SP2) with SQL2005 and we would like to search pdf files loaded into
the database.
iFilter was configured according to the http://www.adobe.com/special/acrobat/configuring_pdf_ifilter_for_ms_sql_server_2005.pdf
Acrobat isn't installed.
We're getting the following errors on the Full-Text Search crawl log when we rebuild the Full Text Catalog and can't search pdf files:

Hi PREM,
If I understand correctly, you want to use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services.
Based on my research, only Microsoft Windows Authentication is available for SSIS. So we cannot use SQL Server Authentication log to SQL Server Integration Services. Besides, we can only add OS users in the DCOM Config permission area.

DRM Web Client 500.19 issue on windows 2008(x64) ERROR

Hi,
I installed DRM version 11.1.2 on windows server 2008(x64), according to the documents, I pre-installed .Net 3.5.1 and modified the applicationHost.conf file.
I found this in epm_install_troubleshooting
Web Client Access Failure
Issue: After installing Data Relationship Management on Windows 2008 64-bit platform, you
get this error message when attempting to access the Web client:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be
accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Solution: In the IIS configuration file (C:/Windows/System32/inetsrv/config/
applicationHost.config), replace the two occurrences of Deny in the following section with
Allow:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="system.webServer">
<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
<name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"

However when I access the web client I got the 500.19 error, can't find C:\inetpub\wwwroot\drm-web-client\web.config, the web.config file do not exist.
Config File \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\drm-web-client\web.config

Might be too late, but the problem is that IIS is pointing to the incorrect path. Should not be pointing to C:\Inetpub\wwwrooot\.... it should be pointing to Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\web-client same thing with the migration-client IIS app. To fix use the IIS Manager click the drm-web-client virtual directory and select "Advanced Settings" and update the "Physical Path" property.

DRM Web Client 500.19 issue on windows 2008(x64)

Hi guys,

I guess this is something about IIS configuration but I'm not familiar with IIS, can anybody give me some suggestion?

Problems deploying Windows 7 x64 computers with more than 8GB RAM

SCCM 2012 R2 CU1
Windows 7 x64
We have a weird problem after upgrading from SP1 to R2 CU1. We have built a Windows 7 64 bit image with the latest updates (currently September 2014 updates). It deploys fine to all computers. But after some days – don’t know exactly – guess after 4-7 days
- we start getting errors on computers with more than 8 GB of RAM. The errors just start out of the blue. We didn't change TS, image or driver package.
The error shows in 3 different ways – depending of the computer model.
1) BSOD – STOP 0x000000F4. Disk error.
2) Task Sequence error 0x87D00269 when installing the first Application in TS. The error seems to have something to do with Management Point not found.
3) Task Sequence simply stops after installing CMclient. No errors - it simply stops.
For instance we get the BSOD on the Lenovo ThinkCentre M93p. But on the ThinkCentre M83 we get the TS error 0x87D00269. M93p and M83 uses the same driver package. They consequently fail every time after the error has begun. If we reduce (remove physically)
the memory to max. 8GB of RAM, they successfully run the Task Sequence. We get the above errors on both Lenovo and HP machines with more than 8GB.
I made a copy of the production TS and started testing. I created a new driver package for M93p/M83. It contains only the NIC drivers. Now M93p an M83 successfully finishes the TS. Adding sata or chipset or MEI/SOL drivers to the package I get the 0x87D00269
error on both m93p and M83. At least not the BSOD on the M93p ;-)
Tried setting SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout to 180 in the TS. Also tried putting in a 5 minute break before installing the first Application in the TS. Also tried putting in SMSMP=mp1.mydomain in the installation properties for the CMclient. It is still
the same problem.
Investigating the smsts.log on a computer with the 0x87D00269 error.

Hopefully this is a bug in translating the errorcodes? Just to be sure I checked all the SCCM serviceaccounts and none of them have expired passwords. And again why only on computers with more than 8GB RAM.
Anyone else had problems rolling computers with more than 8GB og RAM?
Why does this happens after a few days? To begin with, it runs just perfect and then starts failing on all machines with more than 8GB. Without a change in TS, image and driverpackage. We have seen this pattern for the last 3 month after
updating our image with the latest Windows Updates. It all started after updating from SP1 to R2 CU1.
Why does it only affect machines with more than 8GB RAM?
How to get rid of the 0x87D00269 error?
Seems to be somehow related to driver installation mechanism in SCCM in combination with Windows 7 64 bit, +8GB RAM and SCCM 2012 R2 CU1 or perhaps just R2.
Any help or hints would be appreciated!
Thanks
Anders

We have the same workaround, using a x64 boot image resolved all our issues with WinPE 5.0.
Machines with >4GB of RAM
Lenovo ThinkPad T540p failed applying drivers with 80040005
Black screen/white cursor issues intermittently
No updates from Microsoft, they are still looking through the logs, but we have updated our boot images and all is well now. Our case it still open with Microsoft, they are researching the logs.

Hello Wilfred,
thank you for bringing your concerns to us.
  The error code 2155348040 indicates BLB_E_BACKUP_TARGET_SPACE_NOT_ENOUGH which happens if the target volume size is not
sufficient to create a backup. In your case the total used space of source volume(s) could be greater than the space on the target volume.
So please check the free and used space on the source volumes and retry the backup with the target volume space greater than that total
space. We recommend the target volume size to be 1.5 times of the total size of all the source volumes for scheduled backups so that you
  can have sufficient number of backup versions stored.
If you are using Block Level Backup then one other possiblity could be that your source volume is fragmented causing the backup size to be
more than expected. If that is the case then retry the backup after defragmenting the source volume.
Thanks,
Bikash Agrawala [MSFT]

Windows 2008 x64 TS Printing - The data area passed to a system call is too small

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 TS using Easy Print. The server has two quad core cpu's with 16Gb of ram and is running a light processing accounting program for 80 users. The machine and easy print both work fine until the server reaches about 5Gb of memory in use. Once this happens user's documents stop printing with event id's 6161 The data area passed to a system call is too small being logged. None of the hotfixes seem to be applicable to my scenario as I am not getting the common "Access Denied" error. I have increased received and transmit buffer sizes on both NIC's to the 2048 maximum, and set the Sizreqbuf setting in the registry - to no avail.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
The Event error 6161 is caused by one of the following conditions:
The printer is not reachable on the network
Windows cannot allocate sufficient memory
There was invalid or incomplete data received by the print spooler
A driver upgrade failed
There is a bad printer device driver
For more information, please refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773865(WS.10).aspx
In this case, I assume that this issue may be caused by the insufficient memory.
In Event Viewer, examine the event and look for the following text: "Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 8. Not enough storage is available to process this command".
If so, please collect system information for 60 seconds and generate a System Diagnostics Report:
Open an elevated Command Prompt window. (Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.)
At the command prompt, type perfmon /report and then press ENTER. Reliability and Performance Monitor will start collecting data to create the System Diagnostics Report.
When the report is ready for viewing, locate the Diagnostic Results section of the report, and then check for any warnings (indicated by Warnings in the report). You can follow links to additional help on resolving warnings from this section. In addition, you can expand each category in the Basic System Checks section to see more details about why warnings appear. Also, the Performance section provides process-level details about top consumers of resources. You might need to increase the size of the paging file or add physical memory.
Thanks,
Miles

Oracle 10gR2 LARGE PAGE SIZE on Windows 2008 x64 SP2

Hello Oracle Experts,
What are the advantages of Large Page Size and how would I know when my DB will benefit from Large Page Sizes?
My undeqrstanding is on Windows x64 – 8kb default page size – will now be 2 MB. Will this speed up accesses to buffer cache? If so is there a latch wait that I can monitor before vs. after to verify that large page size has improved performance?
My Database server has 256GB RAM and SGA is set to 180GB. I am quite sure the overhead involved in maintaining a large number of 8kb allocations (as opposed to 2MB) must be high - how can i monitor this?
I am planning to follow the procedure here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13831_01/ap_64bit.htm#CHDGFJJD
The DB is for SAP on a 8CPU/48 core IBM x3950. For some reason SAP documentation does not mention anything about this registry setting or even if Large Page Size is supported in the SAP world.
Part 2 : I notice that more recent Oracle patch sets (example 25) turn NUMA OFF by default. Why is this and what is the impact of disabling NUMA on a system like x3950 (which is a NUMA based server)?
My understanding is Oracle would no longer know that some memory is Local (and therefore fast) and some memory is Remote (therefore slow). Overall I am guessing this could cause a real performance issue on this DB.
-points for detailed reply!
thanks a lot -

Hello
Thanks for your reply. I am very interested to hear further about the limitations of Windows 2008 and the benefits of Oracle Linux.
Generally we find that Windows 2008 has been pretty good, a big improvement over Windows 2003 (bluescreens don't occur ever etc)
Can you advise further about Large Page Size for the buffer cache? I assume this applies on both Windows and Linux (I am guessing there is a similiar parameter for 10gR2 on Linux).
SAP have not yet fully supported Oracle 11g so this is why 11g has not made it into the SAP world yet.
Can you also please advise about NUMA? regardless of whether we run Linux or Windows this setting needs to be considered.
Thanks

Running ADS on windows 2008 x64

Hi All
I need to find out if ADOBE Document Services (ADS) can run on windows server 2008 x64. I know that according to Note 925741, ADS is not supported on a Windows 64 Bit servers but on 32bit servers, meaning you have to install it separately. My question is, since this note details windows server 2003 x64 as not supported by ADS, does this still hold for ADS (NetWeaver EHP1) on windows server 2008 x64 servers (being new and all).
Anyone who can assist, please advice
Ronny

Hello,
this is listed in the PAM. http://serivce.sap.com/PAM
But the exact answer is yes, the ADS supports x64 Windows 2008 installation.
Only IA64 is not supported.
Best regards,
Dezso
