Xen DomU Primary server - Upgrade from 10.3.4 to ZCM 11.2.x

I have a ZCM 10.3.4 service running on a XEN SLES11-sp1 paravrtualised DomU.
The ZCM upgrade to 11.2 instructions warn against extracting the ZCM 11.2 iso file and using that as the upgrade source, instead recommending creating a physical DVD and using that as the source.
As I have a vitualised server I assumed it would be easy to mount the iso as a virtual CD for the guest to use and crack on with the install... but after finding the virt-manager 'add a CD/DVD' option didn't
give me the results I was hoping for (a nice shiny CD icon on the desktop of the virtual server and a 'there it is!' moment after opening nautilus...) I attempted to follow the SuSE instructions for attaching
a CD reader Block device. This asks you to attach a device tap:cdrom:/dev/sr0 or file:/path to iso/ zcm112.iso to an unused block device (say xvdb) and then mount the block device to the DomU guest's
file system (/mnt/xvdb... for example).
This is great for accessing the data, but to my eyes accessing the DVD's installation files from a mounted directory on the guest server isn't any different to extracting the CD/DVD and trying to run the
install from the extracted files on a standard physical box.
Does anyone know why extracting the install iso isn't recommended and more importantly how to upgrade ZCM 10.3 running on a XEN virtual server to 11.2?
cheers

  • Update Primary server OS from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

    Anyone had any experience doing an in-place OS upgrade on a ZCM primary server? I have a single primary server currently running Server 2008 R2 and would like to update it to 2012 R2. Would I be better off building a new primary server?
    Thanks

    Which version of ZENworks are you running?
    Support for Windows 2012 Server R2 was only added with the 11.3.1 Update
    for ZENworks 11 SP3 so you would need to at least be running that
    version before upgrading the Windows Server OS.

  • Weblogic 6.1 server upgrade from SP2 to SP3

    Hi All
    We have weblogic server 6.1 SP2 installed on the solaris machine. Now we
    have to upgrade our weblogic server 6.1 SP3. We also have downloaded the installable.
    But that installable seems to over-write the previous weblogic server & installs
    the server afresh. Is there any patch kinda thing available which allows me to
    upgrade from SP2 to SP3 ? I don't want a fresh new install of SP3 server.
    thanks in advance

    Upgrade installer from SP2 to SP3 is only available for paid BEA
    customers. You need a login at http://support.bea.com

  • SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

    Hi,
    We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2.  We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
    Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
    Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario?  I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
    We are running
    - ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
    - XI(PI) Java & ABAP
    - SRM (Java & ABAP)
    - Portal (Java only)
    - PLM (Java & ABAP)
    - BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
    Thank You
    Felicity

    Hello,
    You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
    Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
    Are you clear on this one ?
    Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
    Thanks

  • Weblogic Portal ( Server ) upgrade from 10.0 MP1 to 10.3.5

    HI,
    We are currently attempting to upgrade WebLogic Portal Server in development environment and having problems when i run the installer. ( WLS1035_upgrade_generic.jar ).
    I'm attempting this upgrade in Windows 7 professional environment ( 64 bit )  and it is a Windows VM with in a MAC OS X.
    Problem  : At the screen where it asks to Choose Middleware Home Type  ---> click next   --->  it shows error message saying Product is not Installed.
    Environment   :    Upgrade of WebLogic 10.0 MP1 portal server ( JDK 1.5_30 )  on a Windows Virtual Machine running using Parallels Desktop software
    Existing attempts  :    
    I went through the forums and tried
    -  Oracle's Minimum Technical Requirements says that i need to have JDK 1.6_24 and have installed JDK  1.6.0_35. ( jdk-6u35-windows-x64.exe ) .
       I'm currently  running the setup from command prompt using this version of Java.
    -  Tried using BEA WebLogic smart upgrade. But it is not recognising our Oracle Support Login  credentials. I tried doing this in offline mode having the above .jar and .zip  file patch in the correct directory but its not recognising.
    Weblogic home directory is c:\bea and it has got all the directories inside it  -   i don't understand the reason why installer is not able to identify the existing WLS installation.
    I would appreciate help around this as i'm not sure what else to try ?
    Cheers,

    I am not sure what you are doing is supported. You cannot upgrade a 10.0 to a 10.3.5 the way you are trying. The updater may be used to upgrade froma 10.3.x to 10.3.5 i believe. Check this out Upgrading WebLogic Server 9.x or 10.0 Application Environments to 10.3.5

  • SAP Content Server Upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 & MaxDB 7.3 to 7.8

    Dear Experts,
    We are in planning of upgrade SAP Content server from 6.3 to 6.4 and MaxDB from 7.3 build 35 to 7.8.
    For Content server upgrade is that we need to install the Content server 6.4 and install the latest MaxDB 7.8 and export and import the data.
    We are on Win 2003 32 Bit and we are migrating to win 2008 R2 64 Bit.
    Is it possible directly using database copy and restoring in MaxDB 7.8 version?
    Or we need to use loadercli for migrating the data.
    As per the SDN Link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1649661
    for content server upgrade is by replacing latest dll files at the respective dir.
    Pls let me know your views and known issues.

  • Failed OVM Server Upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1

    I was trying to upgrade my OVM Server environment from *3.0.2* to *3.1.1* using the CD. I got the following error message after choosing the Upgrade option: Oracle VM server 3.0.2 (cciss/c0d0p2). The other option was to Reinstall System.
    +"Error mounting device sda2 as /:+
    +Device or resource busy+
    +This most likely means this+

    My hardware is a HP BL465c G7 server, which is certified by Oracle to run the OVM 3.1.
    http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=117:2:3396212307219555::NO::P2_CERT_ID:1871
    Any advice that can help me find the way to upgrade my servers?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrés L.

    Hi,
    I tried "yum update -y" and after reboot I encountered a kernel panic after the following message: switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory.
    So I got to reinstall ovm 3.0.3 from scratch.
    Maybe the hard disk drivers in 3.1.1 kernel version (uek2) are not compatible with my server disks.
    If someone has an accurate explanation to this issue, could be helpfull.

  • Getting WSDL in reverse order after server upgrade from WAS 5.1 to 6.1

    Hi All.I need your help.I am working in RAD 7.0 .After the IBM websphere upgrade from 5.1 to 6.1 i am getting the wsdl generated exactly in reverse order(in 6.1) as compared to that in version 5.1.Can you tell me wat can be the issue .We are using glue-pro jar for generating the WSDL.is there any setting in RAD or WAS which need to be changed so that i can get WSDL in old format.
    Any suggestion or opinion is welcomed.

    Does it matter? And if so, why does it matter?
    From my previous experience with Glue you don't want to have it generate WSDLs anyway. It's not very good at it at all, generates WSDL that are full of errors.
    Better to write your own WSDL and tell Glue to use those.

  • Query about the steps for Weblogic Server Upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3

    Hi!
    We have planned to upgrade our Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3. Could anyone advise me:
    1. How to upgrade the Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3? Can the Weblogic Server 10.3 coexist with the Weblogic Server 8.1 in one physical server?
    2. Where can the upgrade software be downloaded?
    3. We have a web service currently running under Weblogic Workshop as the Weblogic Server is started via the workshop. Can this web service be run under Weblogic Server 10.3?
    4. Are there any foreseeable issues/problems that will happen?
    Please kindly help me. Thanks a lot.
    Best Regards
    May

    Download location: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
    You can upgrade the domain after you install wls 10.3 using QuickStart.
    When we migrated we have moved from windows to linux. We have installed, created domain, created managed servers, configured, etc. from scratch. We didn't face any 'show stopper' issues.

  • Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

    We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
    This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
    This is what is running on our host servers:
    Host 1
    File,print & issuing CA server
    Exchange 2010
    SharePoint 2010
    Quickbooks server
    Domain controller 1
    Offline CRL CA
    Host 2
    SQL 2008
    Forefront TMG 2010
    Domain Controller 2
    Windows 7 client
    With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
    Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
    Document all existing system settings
    Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
    Test all software media
    Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
    As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
    expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
    Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
    Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Check EV, services etc
    Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
    Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
    Test the system
    Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

    Hi Marco,
    always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
    Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
    When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
    As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
    You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
    A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
    When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
    Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
    And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

  • Mail can't find IMAP mailboxes after server upgrade from 10.3- 10.4

    For the past several years I've been running an IMAP server on my home network to allow me to keep all my mail in synch no matter which of my Macs I'm accessing mail from. (Bernard Teo's Postfix Enabler has been an amazing tool. See: http://cutedgesystems.com/software/PostfixEnabler/ ) Well, since I'm adding a RAID to the backup hardware on the same server later in the week, I decided to finally upgrade the server from Panther to Tiger. I can send and receive mail just fine. (I upgraded to MailServer from the site listed above.) However, all of my IMAP folders other than the associated inboxes have vanished, according to Mail.app. Now, when I check ~/Library/Mail the folders are still visible, and a quick Get Info tells me that they aren't empty. How do I get Mail to notice these folders?
    A shot of the offending folder should appear below:
    867 DP G4, Powerbook 1.67   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    More info: I've tried a variety of paths to the mailboxes, and this is the only one that has yielded anything. Still, it ain't usable, yet.

  • Content server upgrade from 6.40 to 6.50

    Hello,
    As content server version 6.40 is not supported by SAP now so we need to upgrade it to 6.50. Can anyone share the knowledge who performed it?
    I have gone through note 514500 and understood that patching is as simple as replacing some old files under particular folder with newer version files (v6.50). However, I wanted to get confirmation that upgrade is also same as patching or not?
    Is there any dependency of content server 6.50 on MaxDB version which will be our database?
    Regards,
    NK

    The SAP note 514500 - Importing Support Packages for the SAP Content Server is the one you need to follow to update the Content Server to 6.50
    Existing SAP Content Server 6.40 Customers
    This is a simple build Update. Please follow the note 514500 and update the content server dlls/.so from 6.40 to 6.50.

  • Mac OS-X server upgrade from v3.2.1 to v.3.2.2

    Hi, I just upgrade my OS-X to Yosemite. But I found that my Mac OS-X server cannot work. It is version3.2.1 and I cannot upgrade to version 3.2.2. My server is now stop working. Any suggestion?
    Do I need to delete the OS-X server and download the new one again from Apple Store. I need my server back again ASAP as it holds all my teaching notes for my students, thank you
    Jimmy from Hong Kong

    Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, the Apple Store only has OS-X server 3.2.2. When I tried to upgrade it and I got the error message again " Server can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because the version of OS X is too new."
    Any advice to find the OS-X version 4.0 from Apple Store.
    Thank you

  • Mac Mini Server upgrading from Lion 10.7.1 to Lion 10.7.2 Freezes in upgrade install reboot. What's wrong?

    After downloading and installing Lion upgrade 10.7.1, my Mac Mini (2010 model)) server will reboot to the Apple logo, but no spinning dial - freezes - requiring re-installation of the 10.7.1 version (which runs well.) Two upgrades are included in the update - Lion Recovery Update and Mac OSX Update. Should these be installed separately of together as they are downloaded? Am I doing something wrong? The machine has been continuously updated since OSX Lion came out so I am not lacking currency in the OS prior to this update.

    @the hatter: First of all: thanks for your assistance !
    What I have is: the MacPro 1.1 (2006)  and a MacBookPro (2009).
    Inside the MacPro:
    (1) Start Disc
    (2) 2nd Startdisk backed up by SuperDuper from (1) (without Parallels disk)
    (3) Media (backup on TimeCapsule)
    (4) TM backup of (1) without Parallels
    (5): USB-Cradle with my last SnowLeo system-hard disk.
    All tests to boot failed with: disk (1) Recovery HD (it is there!) , disk (2), external disk (5), Lion Install DVD , Recovery HD from a USB-Stick (created on my MBP).
    All tests ended with a grey blank screen :-(
    I'm German, so my English has limits.  What do you mean with:
    1. "Pull the bump system drive " ? Should I open my mac and put the old start disk aside ?
    (by the way: I have a backup-drive inside the MacPro from this start disk.)
    2. "Do a clean install of OS". On which disk ? A new one ?
    3. "Put the old working system in FW case". ? FW case ? FW=FireWire ? case? I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean.
    4. "Update and install". What has to be updated ? The new installed Lion ?
    5. "Import / Migrate with Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant" ? Can't I migrate from "2nd StartDisk" ?
    6. "I am sure there is an uninstaller for Parallels 7 though not whether it can run from another system." I cannot use the uninstaller, as I am not able to boot the Mac :-(
    7. The first OS on the MacPro was 10.4.6 (Tiger) I had Leo, SnowLeo and now Lion. So I believe it will be the moment to build a new clean Lion system.
