Xserve hosting setup question

Hello, we are looking to get two Xserves. One for MySQL and another for website hosting. - Will we need a separate IP address for the MySQL server and just enter that as the host to connect to in the php code, or can we directly hook the MySQL Xserve to the main web Xserve through gigabit ethernet and connect to it that way? If so what would the host name be to connect to it? It couldn't be localhost, so would it be a local assigned IP by the main web Xserve, like 192.168.--

So once I have both my Xserves setup, how do I connect to the MySQL server
There are so many possible causes for this, and not enough information in your post to tell specifically which.
For example, do you get any error message?
My expectation would be that MySQL is not accepting the connection because of the access privileges. In order for for you to connect from any remote host you need to tell MySQL specifically which usernames, with which passwords, connecting from which hosts are allow what level of access to which databases.
Sounds like a lot? you bet, but access control is a critical part of any database system.
Chapter 5 of MySQL's Reference documentation specifically covers setting up access privileges.

Iweb and yahoo hosting setup questions

using iweb to create my page, trying to upload to my yahoo host service and can't get anything but a 404 file not found message. i've published to another folder, uploaded the index.html file and included graphic file and still get nothing. any advice would be much appreciated. thanks in advance!

My only other question is - am I to delete the files yahoo created in my directory, leaving only my own uploaded files?
There should be no need to do that.
when i type in my site name it goes to a directory, and if i click on the folder i uploaded it looks all good.
Seeing the directory instead of your site right away normally means you did not upload the index.html file which iweb created alongside the folder which has the name you gave your site inside the iweb app.

Easiest solution for adding Fibre Channel Tape Backup to Xserve RAID setup

I'm interested in getting a Fibre Channel LTO-3 tape library such as the Exabyte 221L for my Xserve RAID/Xserve G5 setup. I realize there are SCSI LTO-3 solutions that are less expensive than FC, but I'd prefer not to have to add a SCSI card to my Xserve, mainly because I'd have to pull the video card and run the server headless (horrors!). However, I understand that I must get a Fibre Channel switch to allow the LTO library, the Xserve, and the Xserve RAID to communicate... you can't just daisy chain FC devices. The least expensive switch I can find is the new QLogtic SANbox 3050 for about $1800. For my situation, in which these will be the only FC devices I'll probably ever use, does this switch sound appropriate? The specs on the switch can be found here: http://www.qlogic.com/products/sanbox/sanbox_3050.asp.
Xserve RAID & Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

For simple environments like yours, it's trivially easy. You must plug everything in, and you're good to go... as simple as a network switch.
Now if you start adding multiple hosts (i.e. plug in a second Xserve or G5), you need to be careful, because in the default configuration everything is "wide open," so every device can see every storage LUN. This would actually be problematic, as systems could (actually, would) corrupt each other's storage. When you get to this point, you'll need to look at either zoning the ports on the switch, or using LUN masking on the Xserve RAID to allocate specific pieces of storage to specific hosts.
But for now, just get the switch, plug everything in, and you're off.
BTW if you mark "answered" for me, versus for the thread overall, it helps me out a bit in this forum ranking system, whatever it is.
Cheers.

Xserve RAID setup for mixed platform office

In our office we have several Macs and Windows machines that regularly read the same files during various tests we run. Unfortunately these files are spread out across various drives on various systems and many of the files are duplicated in many places.
To make us more efficient as well as provide reliable backup for our critical test files I'm considering an Xserve RAID setup.
I understand a computer is needed as a controller and an Xserve is typically used for this. Could a Dual 2GHz G5 serve this purpose? It needs OS X Server installed? Does the G5 get a Fibre Channel card in order to connect to the G5 to the RAID and then the rest of the office can connect to the G5 to access the RAID via GigE.
We are not editing video, I don't see that all the clients need Fibre.
How about Windows clients, are they able to seemlessly access the RAID just like Macs?

> I understand a computer is needed as a controller and an Xserve is typically used for this
Yes, you need a controller, but it doesn't need to be an XServe. Any host will do.
> Could a Dual 2GHz G5 serve this purpose
Yes, quite easily. You just need an appropriate fiber channel card in the host that you're attaching the XServe RAID to.
> It needs OS X Server installed?
No. You don't even need Mac OS X installed - the XServe RAID is platform agnostic and can be used with Windows, Linux, and other Unix systems.
> Does the G5 get a Fibre Channel card in order to connect to the G5 to the RAID and then the rest of the office can connect to the G5 to access the RAID via GigE.
Correct. You'd use some kind of file sharing on the G5 to share the XServe RAID to the network clients. The only caveat is that Mac OS X Client only supports 10 active client connections. If you need more than that you may need Mac OS X Server.
As for the Windows clients, they can access the RAID volume through the G5, too - you'll just need to enable SMB file sharing on the G5.

LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

Hi Frank,
i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
this is my original post from early this week:
JAAS Setup question
thanks,
brenden

Brenden,
please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.
Frank

Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM and SCAN and DNS and /etc/hosts (two) setup questions

Hi,
I am looking forward to setting up two Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances
on my Oracle VM test machine.
I plan on using the Oracle 11gR2 RAC VM template.
I want the final Oracle 11gR2 RAC instances to have SCAN that uses DNS.
The DNS will be pre-installed in the JeOS.
My first simple question about the setup is the following.
In my DNS name file, for example,
/var/named/chroot/var/named/milkyway.univ.db
do I need to provide the racnode1 and racnode2 information,
for example,
# DNS name file (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
racnode1 IN A 192.168.1.161
racnode1-vip IN A 192.168.1.163
racnode2 IN A 192.168.1.162
racnode2-vip IN A 192.168.1.164
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
Or, can I just provide only the rac-scan information
# DNS name file alternate (snippet)
myjeos IN A 192.168.1.150
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.131
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.132
rac-scan IN A 192.168.1.133
What I am getting at is the following.
Within the install process, will racnode1, racnode1-vip, racnode2,
and racnode2-vip host names and their IP address be written
to the RAC instances /etc/hosts files? (So I should not bother
to put them in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file alternate (snippet)'?)
Or, should I put the racnode and racnode-vip host names and IP addresses
in the DNS name file like '# DNS name file (snippet)'?
The second question is the following.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?
Currently, I would plan them to be different,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-scan.
Or, are they required to be the same,
for example, rac-cluster and rac-cluster.
Thank you.

We write this data out to /etc/hosts just to reduce the amount of round-trip DNS requests the cluster nodes make for themselves.
Are the cluster name and the scan name allowed to be different?They can be different.

We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS. We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project. With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment. I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000? How many Nics should I dedicate? Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion). Is this a setup I should continue with going forward? The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access. In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI). Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
Thanks for the help!

Tim,
Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course . Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth. The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter. For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS. We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe. Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies. B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards. In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options. In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied. When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc. See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
Regards,
Robert
BTW - Here's a couple Best Practice Guides with UCS & 1000v that you might find useful.

I ended up uninstalling every java this and that.. and tomcat.
Then installing only the j2sdk1.4.0_03 SDK.
Then set up JAVA_HOME for all users and modified the path with full path to the bin (c:\j2sdk1.4.0_03\bin)
Lastly I reinstalled tomcat and, voila, everything was working.
It can be quite maddening when you THINK you did everything by the boook and something doesn't work. When you replied and confirmed that I was on the right track.. uninstalling and trying yet again became les frustrating an option.
Thanks.
BTW- I needed this env to do the projects in what sems to be a very interesting book.. "macromedia Flash MC application design and development" by Jessica Speigel .. published by New Riders.
Her flash help website is at www.were-here.com.. the projects in the book are for flash-based multiplayer games and multi-user formums and such.

Ftp setup question

sorry if this a repeat question, but i'm stumped. i've set up
a number of sites previously, and never had a problem using the ftp
with dw. my typical setup has been
ftp host: ftp.mysite.com
host directory: public_html/
username
password
never a problem.
now i'm trying to set up a site on a new dedicated server
host and these same setting don't work. as an aside, i'm using
cpanel and when i set up the ftp user i noticed the directory is
/home/wwwcoun/public_html/, so i alternated this with a simple
public_html/ but it didn't work. suggestions please. thanks.
mike

Try -
FTP Host - www.mysite.com
Host directory - BLANK
Can you connect? If you can, tell me what FOLDER names you
see on the
remote folder list.

B2B setup question.

I have a requirement, where the PO reqest will come from the partner in a ftp server and B2B will pick it up from that server and send the document to BPEL for further processing. I tried to set up B2B by following the purchase order tutorial present in B2B user's guide. Here the difference is that I have setup the remote trading partner is in the same server as the host TP and using the same repository. What is happening is that after I enqueue the message(test.xml) in IP_OUT_QUEUE, it seems B2B is picking it up because I don't see that IP_OUT_QUEUE after a few minues, but it is not going to IP_IN_QUEUE. I have set my BPEL process to look into IP_IN_QUEUE.
I also don't see any b2b.log file where I can see the errors(if any).
Do I have to use some other setup?
Can you please help?

I manually created everything present in that tutorial(because the import was giving some error) where GlobalChips is the Host partner. But what is the proper way to test it. As per the tutorial I should run the enq_ordrsp.sh . I did it and it enqueued in IP_OUT_QUEUE, but then nothing happened. Also, since the transport protocol is File, shouldn't I test by downloading the Acme_orders.xml file in the directory I mentioned in my URI?
My next question is if I can make EDIFACT tutorial work then I have another issue to sort out, which is, my document is in Rosettanet format. Somewhere in the discussion forum I saw that for my business case scenario, if I take purchase order tutorial and change the DCs to File/FTP it should work. But for the version of B2B I have File/FTP are not supported protocols for Rosettanet. Is it added later? or do I have to setup something else for getting those protocols for Rosettanet?

Mac Pro Hard Drive Setup Question

Mr. FedEx brought me my Mac Pro today and I'm getting ready to set it up. I'm migrating from a PowerBook G4 17 inch and got the Mac Pro 3.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and four 500 GB hard drives. I figure I should do a freash install of Aperture instead of using the Migration Wizard. The question for the night is, how should I handle the four hard drives? Out of the box I see four seperate hard drives labled Macintosh HD. For Aperture, should I use software raid across all four drives or only three leaving the OS drive by itselft for applications?
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Sure you can... I got a Raid 0 on two 300Gb drives on my boot drive... They host the OS and my apps.
The trick is that its got to be a fresh install. You boot with your hardware giag disk and in the menu you have the disk utility. Create the RAID setup and then quit. You can now boot the disk with the OS install and it will recognize it as such.
Now - a few things to consider. Next version of OS X has Time Machine that that expects a volume (a disk, the whole disk) for it to work. So it would be cool if you find out about it and sort of prepare for it.
Having said that I would Raid0 two pairs and Raid1 the two. This is called Raid 1+0 or Raid 10. Its a good compromise but if drive 1 AND 3 fail then there is no backup. I would also get an external firewire disk (say 300Gb or 500Gb) and use it as a vault. But that is because I can't think of running the machine with a full backup of what I got, still not a perfect solution.
The way I got it is using Raid 0 on my OS and Apps (600Gb) with an external Firewire disk for backup. (no Raid 0 - so there is no statistical odds to beat)
Apeture has two drives. Two Firewire 800 (1Tb) drives, one the library and the other is the vault. The vault also stores the deleted images, so you will have to clean every now and then or it will grow faster than your library.

Host aliases question

I have been trying with no success to get a website to respond on both www.example.com and example.com . In DNS I have a
C record for example.com
A record for www.example.com
If I set up web services with the host name of example.com and an alias to www.example.com, When I request example.com, I get an "Access Forbidden Error" 403 error. Typing www.example.com works though.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there. I do have the same question:
actually, to me, it sounds like you have a totally different question..
Thanks for your advice. I might have missed the point, but what I want is my website responding to both example.com and www.example.com.
You're asking this question the wrong way around. You do not 'setup your DNS' to tell your web server what to to. Instead you setup your web server to respond to different hostnames it may encounter.
I might be wrong - but a simple alias for a site (or better: a hostname) is not enough; to resolve, at least a CNAME (like WWW) is needed. But I think we're talking about the same thing.
There is no automatic link between DNS and web service.
Clear to me. It just needs both entries - WWW as CNAME and www.example.com as hostname-alias - correct?!
You either need to create multiple sites in your web server, one for each hostname you want to respond to, or setup one and add other hostnames that should map to it in the Aliases section of Server Admin.
Yep - but as you wrote later on, it's not possible to create a wildcard for a site for the whole zone (example.com), so it would respond to any request on port 80 on the zone name.
Server Admin DNS does not support the creation of wildcard records. You can add them manually but then have to eschew using Server Admin to manage your DNS. That said, if you're using split DNS you're likely already beyond Server Admin because it can't handle split DNS either.
Thanks, so I definitely have to give up on SA for this. Quite a pain, thinking of many customer's setups, who want to manage the whole stuff through the GUI
All the best from Zurich

Setup question

Hello everyone,
I am coming from Microsoft SQL server and thinking seriously to move to Oracle. As a newbie i have a setup related question.
I installed XE as local administrator and everything works fine. However, when i try to login with my domain account(defined as administrator on the local computer) i have problems connecting to my local XE using Microsoft ODBC for Oracle.
The error message is
Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
The connection string i use for the server parameter is mycomputerName/XE and works ok when i login locally.
The listener.ora includes
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mycomputerName.mydomain)(PORT = 1521))
DEFAULT_SERVICE_LISTENER = (XE)
tnsname.ora
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = mycomputerName.mydomain)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =

(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC_FOR_XE))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = CLRExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
I believe some configuration is missing. Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Can you try to change the file c:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\sqlnet.ora ?
Change it like this:
#SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NONE)Does that help?

SCCM 2012 Test Lab Setup Questions...

Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a SCCM test lab with VMs so I can test deployment of our software package (.msi). I downloaded the System Center 2012: Configuration Manager Test Lab Guide, which appears to consist of the following required machine setups...
-One server running System Center 2012 Configuration Manager named CM1. CM1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
-One pre-existing server running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise named APP1. APP1 uses the Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition operating system.
-One pre-existing client running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition named CLIENT1.
From this document, the first step is to Complete the Base Configuration. When I download that document, it lists the following needed systems...
One computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
DC1 that is configured as an intranet domain controller, Domain Name System (DNS) server, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, and an enterprise root certification authority
(CA).
One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
APP1 that is configured as a general application and web server with secure sockets layer (SSL) support. APP1 also hosts the certificate revocation list (CRL) for the enterprise root CA
installed on DC1.
One roaming member client computer running Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate named
CLIENT1.
One intranet member server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named EDGE1 that is configured as an Internet edge server.
One standalone server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition named
INET1 that is configured as an Internet DNS server, web server, and DHCP server.
The Base Configuration test lab consists of two subnets that simulate the following:
The Internet, referred to as the Internet subnet (131.107.0.0/24).
An intranet, referred to as the Corpnet subnet (10.0.0.0/24), separated from the Internet subnet by EDGE1.
My question(s)... How many separate VMs are required to set up the test lab, 7? Or are APP1 & CLIENT1 the same system for both setup guides, which I guess would bring the total of needed systems/vms to 5?
Can any of the images serve a dual purpose to lessen the number needed even further?
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

There's no correct answer here as ConfigMgr itself can run on a single server or its roles can be spread out to many different servers. Ultimately, in a pure lab, there is rarely a reason to use more than a single server unless you are trying to simulate
a production deployment where the roles have been separated.
This single server doesn't include a DC though (as the ConfigMgr site server must be a member of an AD domain) or a client to manage though so that brings the total up to 3. You technically could put the ConfigMgr site server on the DC; however, that
is rarely done in production and cause a few unique configuration issues. You could also treat the DC as your managed client but that's typically not a great use case for testing client management.
I have no idea what lab guide you are following, but remember the lab guide is set up to walk you through many different scenarios -- some of which you many not care about. ConfigMgr is a huge and complex application that can be installed in many, many different
configurations based upon the goals of the installation and the organization it supports so it ultimately depends upon exactly what you are after. I'd suggested doing some additional supplemental reading like TechNet and/or one of the publishes books
available instead of just blindly following the lab guide. That's not to say the lab guide doesn't have value, but if you want to follow it, then you need to follow it.
