And if so, what others are doing. We have SLES10SP2(64 bit) installed on a server. It has 2 NICs, eth0, eth1. We have configured them as bond0 (testing all sorts of modes for the bond). When we bring up the XEN kernel, Dom0 can ping happily to multiple other servers on the network. When we start a SLES10SP2 vm (or a Win2k3 VM) on the box (with a single virtual eth0 bridged to use bond0) it can ping certain hosts fine, but some (and always the same ones) will have a destination host unreachable. If I remove one of the NICs (eth0/ eth1)from the bond in DOM0, the problem goes away in the vm. Pings are instant everywhere. So it appears that the bond, in association with the vm, has an issue of some sort. I can't work out why the hosts won't reply. I have tried pinging Netware, Win2k3, and Linux hosts and some of each will reply, some will fail. But always the same ones. Remove a card from the bond, or remove bond altogether, and everything is fine. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm sure our config isn't too complex, there must be others looking for High Availablity/aggregation with XEN? Much thanks.

They're also still in the process of updating the customer center. Stuff changes occasionally without notice or is just flat wrong. When you log in, look for your customer rep number on the middle left-hand portion of the screen. Just call them. I've had to do that three or four times to try and sort some of this stuff out.

I had a customer with an older Proliant (a few years ago) with a 3 drive hardware array; she called with an abend problem. Seems one of the drives in the array failed but only partway. The drive still responded but would stop accepting writes; this dismounted the volumes, abended the server - and the ASR would restart the server after 5 minutes. On restart the defective drive would register as active, starting the array controller remirroring process - and an automatic VREPAIR. The repair would slowly progress until it stalled about 2/3 complete, refuse to continue and abend the server again. (I said it was a few years ago.) By the time I got there, identified the problem and yanked the defective drive the damage was done and the volumes completely trashed. FWIW I found with NW 5 the value of software mirroring was considerably less than with 3.x and 4.x. Adding server applications like java and webapps increased the likelihood of abends or even hard crashes during system writes. The resulting sluggish performance (with SCSI drives) or outright unresponsiveness (with IDE drives) during the remirror process made the move to hardware raid easy to justify, at least on critical servers.

I used the NW software mirroring on it, for a RAID 1 configuration. The other night while dumping data on it, one of the drives failed. The SCSI controller shut off the drive, but something happened that NW could not see the remaining drive. All sorts of errors. even after rebooting. I had to yank both drives, and trash them both. lost everything. Luckily it was only the backup server, but it still shouldn't have happened... I would have thought the NW mirroring was more reliable. but guess not.....

One of the things I like to do is to let DS clean itself up as much as possible. Using this method "reminds" DS that the obits are out there and need to be acted on. I haven't tried the "repair external references" option for this. I don't think it provides the function I normally am looking for. -xk2 seems a little extreme, and I wouldn't use it as a first choice. Occasionally I run into a situation where there are duplicate obituaries with different object IDs. In this case, nothing will fix the problem. The only hope is that you have a replica that does not have the duplicates, and you can delete and recreate those replicas to clear the bad obits. If all the replicas are affected, it's time to call Novell and have them edit them out for you. By the way, monitor is a nice way of identifying specific replica information quickly. The old method is to run DSBROWSE on every server. If you have only a few servers, then it's not a big issue, but if you have dozens, then it can get very time consuming. Unfortunately, monitor is not real well documented and it's capabilities are probably not as well known as they should be. Knowing how to use monitor properly could save a lot of time and hair-pulling in many cases. -jt James Taylor The East Cobb Group, Inc. 678-697-9420 james.taylor at eastcobbgroup.com http://www.eastcobbgroup.com >>> "Matt Smith" 8/5/2008 08:33 AM >>> >>> On 8/4/2008 at 9:14 PM, in message <4897711B0200007500033674 at inet.eastcobbgroup.com>, "James Taylor" wrote: > I use the dsrepair -ot option to timestamp the obituaries, then use dstrace to > force the cleanup. > There are a number of TIDs on this. > > This looks like a good reference. > > http://www.novell.com/support/php/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalI > d=10073618&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_TID_1_1&dialogID=50397386&stateId=0%200%20503993 > 62 I gotta ask.

I usually remove my replicas before the edirectory portion of the migration anyway. I've been doing it that way for so long, I can't honestly remember why I started doing it that way. I'd recommend making sure everything's the same patch level. You've got the service pack at the latest and greatest, but if you've applied any post Sp7 patches, you'll probably want to make sure they get put on the new server too. Honestly though, I have forgotten to remove replicas before migrations. I used to do a lot of them in my previous job. I haven't had a migration go bad when using the SCM toolkit in quite a long time now. -Matt -- Matt Smith Network Technology Specialist Oconee County School System, Oconee County, Georgia Office of Instruction and Technology 706-769-5685 From Daniel_Sikes at gamb.uscourts.gov Thu Aug 7 21:02:11 2008 From: Daniel_Sikes at gamb.uscourts.gov (Daniel_Sikes at gamb.uscourts.gov) Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 16:02:11 -0400 Subject: Daniel Sikes is out of the office.

I have had my share of "fun" problems with 2950's lately so if you run into fatfs errors or perc load failure or power management (not too mention keyboard lockups) post back. Hope this helps.

There is also a reference somewhere to "www.ideafarm.com" but that yields no information - dns entries do exist but at this time the site is unresponsive. My advice is this: locate the entries (/etc/services) for it and take them out, then restart.

Whenever we try to use the Netware CIFS screen under "File Protocols" in iManager (no matter what server, 14 all together), as soon as we select a server we get the following: *This user does not have the correct credentials to authenticate to the CIMOM client* We've already looked at TID's 3937454, *3153340, *10100095, *3110036, *10088627, 10097177, and 10083497. I've tried creating a unique administrative user from scratch. We're also experiencing issues with some of our windows users when they try to "net use" a volume or folder on a server. They'll get an error message telling them the network can't be found but in many cases (I'm not sure if in all cases, I'm still awaiting some callbacks) they'll get no errors if they only try to connect to the server(s) and NOT use a folder. Has anyone run into something like this, please tell me that it's just a stupid mistake on our part and it's a quick easy fix...... heck I'll even settle for long messy fix. -- If there are any questions or problems please contact me. _______________________ Peter J.

I would like to find root cause for this problem but to tell the truth I am glad it is working and we will be migrating to Linux or M$ Windows next year. On other oddity, the Broadcom teaming driver (BASP) does not load on startup but loads fine when I do a "Reinitialize System" from INETCFG. As a workaround I put a Reinitialize System statement in my autoexec.ncf prior to my iSCSI commands with a delay before and after and that seems to have fixed it for now. Any insights into the N1000E strangeness, teaming drives from Broadcom or anything else in my rambling post would be appreciated. Thanks.

Then, in linux, you run the script vmtools_config.pl (I think that is the name) and that runs through a series of questions and configures the tools.

When you have workstation or Server the software is contained in an ISO that is in the same directory as you installed the VMware product into. For ESX it is located in /vmimages/tools-isoimages. In all cases as people have mentioned previously normally the Install VMware Tools should mount the CDROM ISO so that you can run the installation.

In one of the configuration files it's using the local loopback address. In each case the server has not had a replica on it that contains the admin user. Rather than have replicas all over the place, I have reconfigured the LDAP address to point to a server that is holding a replica with the admin object. If this is not the case for you, you might check that NLDAP is running on the server. The exact config file slips my memory at the moment, but if this looks like what you might be experiencing then email me off list and I'll find the config file and setting and post back to the list. Also double check all the cifs config files in sys:\etc specifically the contexts config file. Cheers, Ben.

Can you verify the iSCSI connectivity with LIST DEVICES to see if Netware see the devices once they failover and check the active iSCSI connections by running ISCSINIT and verify the availability but from the description of you problem the iSCSI part sounds like it is working. I would check your cluster load and unload scripts for the cluster resources for the proper mount statements. I believe most of the mount statements use a VOL ID instead of a name, maybe somebody with a little more experience on the load and unload scripts can comment on the syntax. Hope this helps.

Yes you can. I'm on NW6.5 SP7 here, running in cluster mode - against a Fibernetix/Stormagic ISCSI box - but did my initial pre-production testing on SP6 boxes with the same SAN and it worked fine. I assume that to get things you're manually issuing the command "ION" then "ISCSINIT CONNECT x.x.x.x target name" where the target name is in the form 'iqn.somethingvendorspecific.nw65' to connect to the the target, followed by the command"MOUNT ALL" to mount your volumes? All this can, as you've no doubt found, be done at a console prompt, but to automate it on (re)boot, I've got the first two commands in a separate config file, ISCSI.NCF, referenced in the autoexec.ncf just before the mount command. You could just put them all straight into the autoexec.ncf, in the same order, but using a separate file is cleaner... The ISCSI chapter in the OES2 documentation is worth a look: http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/stor_iscsi_nw/index.html?page=/documentation/o es2/stor_iscsi_nw/data/hclny85e.html#hclny85e > If yes, what am I missing?

Yes you can. I'm on NW6.5 SP7 here, running in cluster mode - against a Fibernetix/Stormagic ISCSI box - but did my initial pre-production testing on SP6 boxes with the same SAN and it worked fine. I assume that to get things you're manually issuing the command "ION" then "ISCSINIT CONNECT x.x.x.x target name" where the target name is in the form 'iqn.somethingvendorspecific.nw65' to connect to the the target, followed by the command"MOUNT ALL" to mount your volumes? All this can, as you've no doubt found, be done at a console prompt, but to automate it on (re)boot, I've got the first two commands in a separate config file, ISCSI.NCF, referenced in the autoexec.ncf just before the mount command. You could just put them all straight into the autoexec.ncf, in the same order, but using a separate file is cleaner...

As long as your LDAP authentications are BINDs, then the NDS attribute of "last login time" will be updated. If your LDAP just issues a COMPARE, it will not. Otherwise, configure logging to rotate logfiles hourly and save the logs somewhere. The logs will be quite verbose, but can be handy for other reasons.

I assume that to get things you're manually issuing the command "ION" then "ISCSINIT CONNECT x.x.x.x target name" where the target name is in the form 'iqn.somethingvendorspecific.nw65' to connect to the the target, followed by the command"MOUNT ALL" to mount your volumes? All this can, as you've no doubt found, be done at a console prompt, but to automate it on (re)boot, I've got the first two commands in a separate config file, ISCSI.NCF, referenced in the autoexec.ncf just before the mount command. You could just put them all straight into the autoexec.ncf, in the same order, but using a separate file is cleaner... The ISCSI chapter in the OES2 documentation is worth a look: http://www.novell.com/documentation/oes2/stor_iscsi_nw/index.html?page=/docu mentation/o es2/stor_iscsi_nw/data/hclny85e.html#hclny85e > If yes, what am I missing?

It introduces some extra caution screens (picture big flashing "Are you really sure?" messages). I gained a week of billable consulting hours one time when a staff resource confused the two and blew past the extra warning screens on a server holding the only replica of a top level OU :-) Now there are cases where obituaries get in a double obit state meaning there are two obituaries with the same name. These can be very ugly to fix without dsdump. If you have any Novell support incidents they can usually fix in 20 minutes what can take you 3 hours of DSRepairs of which a couple steps require locking all DS replicas at the same time (think - no login, no ds query :-( Do a check external references and find which server has the lowest stage number then check that server locally to see if it's record of external references matches. Asuuming it does match check ds replication from that box, look up the DS healthcheck routine and run it on that box as well. Often times it's simply an issue of one replica older (remember that subordinate references are replicas) is having trouble talking to everyone else.

When I enter configuration mode the task does appear as part of the role. If I try deleting the task, in order to re-add it, it gives me the following error: 'An error occurred because a rbsScope object is missing in XXX.XXX.XXX. To correct the problem, remove all members in this role and reassign.' The task is assigned to other roles so I didn't want to remove all members and re-add. I compared the rbsScopes between iManager and ConsoleOne and I saw a scope/context listed for the role in iManager that wasn't listed for the same role through ConsoleOne. I changed the member assignment so a scope/context that did show for the role in both C1 and iManager but still got the same error when trying to remove the task from the role. Has anyone seen this or has any suggestions for troubleshooting? Thanks.

In our setup clicking on the "i" on the right hand side opens a popup with information on the printer, is it possible your workstations have popups blocked? Clinking on the printer name or the "i" with the printer on the left hand side (http://"yourserver"/ipp) open a system window informing you that printer "xyz" isn't installed and would you like to install it. The most likely culprit when we see issues similar to yours is either a popup blocker of some sort has been installed/activated or someone changed something on the iPrint server (introduced a redirect, changed a config file, made some change to apache, etc).

As for eDir upgrade, I let the OES2 install take care of this, which it did easily and beautifully. At the moment I've got a 50/50 mix of OES1 (ed87) & OES2 (edir 88) boxes (10 boxes total) and they happily work together. However read the OES2 docs on the upgrade procedures, specifcally around eDir as it asks you to check and generate some keys. The docs on this topic are really very good. The OES2 install is really quite nice. --- AlanP On 25 Aug 2008, at 17:17, Scott Etienne wrote: > We are getting ready to install our first OES2 / Linux server and > have been told that Identity Manager starter edition or starter pack > is part of the OES2 licensing.

Why don't you just put SLES 10 on it? I'm not quite as up on Windows Storage Server, but I can't recall anything Windows can do that you couldn't do with SLES also.

On the other hand, I'd still consider the cost/benefit of going with a windows OS on the hardware + IDM. I'm not putting IDM down, but it almost seems like you might be using a shotgun to swat a mosquito here. At least that's what I'd be telling my boss...now that doesn't guarantee that he'd listen of course. I actually helped a colleague out recently do exactly what I'm suggesting; putting OES linux v2 on a Dell storage server that's supposed to run Windows server. It wasn't at my suggestion. I just came into the picture after he'd already installed SLES, but was having trouble getting OES on it. -Matt >>> "Randy Grein" 08/25/08 6:05 PM >>> Yes, that's the problem, isn't it?

On occasion, transfer speeds have been slow .. in this case, it ws going to take over 16 hours to doa 20gb sys: until we downloaded the very newest version (labeled "beta") of portlock and the boot cd. Also, we booted both the physical and the VM from the boot cd. Worked great.

One nice factor is the physical server is not changed one bit, so you may revert if problems arise (as long as you do NOT get the new box connected - be wary of DS issues when bouncing between boxes).

From petervl at gmail.com Tue Aug 26 05:59:33 2008 From: petervl at gmail.com (Peter Van Lone) Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:59:33 -0500 Subject: OES NW cluster, VM's, and RDM -- odd trouble after Message-ID: <68b791330808252159l599a4b1ep894fad7442208e37@mail.gmail.com> I just finished migrating a cluster from an old MSA1000 to a new DS3200 SAS shared storage array. I P2V'd the servers sys: volumes using portlock, and then created an RDM to connect to the clustered data volumes (NDPS, Fileshare, and GroupWise volumes as well as a small lun for SBD). I then mirrored created matching luns on the new SAN, presented them to the ESX 3.5 hosts, and created RDMs that were then used to mirror the data from the MSA to the DS. Then I downed the vm, removed the MSA RDMs, and brought the servers back up and deleted the "missing element" of the mirror sets. The only thing I did that was new to me, was that instead of letting the SBD grab a bit of a LUN created for other purposes (as had been the case on the MSA) I created a seperate LUN for this on the DS3200, and then mirrored the old partition onto the new LUN. Some weird stuff is happening, though: 1)when the servers are first started, each joins the cluster, but then when I try to online a resource, it goes comatose the first or second time trying it. Then, it starts just fine. 2)One of the servers, seems to need to restart at least 2x before it can stay up ... In some cases it abends just trying to join the cluster, in other cases it seems to join fine, but then abends when trying to online a resource. I went through this twice tonight ... and in both cases it seemed like some combination of restarting enough times, or waiting long enough after restarting before fussing with it, or perhaps first loading a resource on the other server, and then migrating it to the troubled one, seems to work. 3)The GW resource, would NOT load on the second server (many attempts simply resulted in the resource going comatose, even after a reboot of the server. However, I then let the trouble server restart again, but loaded the GW resource onto the other server... it loaded fine. Later, after coming back an hour or so after dinner, I migrated the GW resource to it, and all is good. Anyone have any idea what might cause this? The error I saw on the logger screen, when the GW resource was going comatose, was that the server was unable to set the "mail pool" to active. Is there any possibility that putting the SBD on it's own LUN (device) when it was not like that before, could cause something like this? If so, why would it only affect the mail resource? Why would the other resources go comatose the first time or two trying to online them, then be fine?

Portlock handles the translation for you. You create an empty C: drive in your VM, then add boot files to it, then portlock just dumps the netware stuff onto it. Never been a problem, with servers that have and do not have, maint partitions. Seriously, unless you have a reason to build a new OS, and therefore you want to mess with it, using portlock (or Jon's method perhaps though I have not gone that route) is the way to go. Easy, fast, done. As I said, the only caveat may be speed ... but for me the newest code and booting both source and destination from CD (or ISO) fixed it.
