Hi All I have to design a consolidated SQL environment i.e. a bucket and I have no idea what DBs they'll migrate, what size LUNs (or formula) do people use for their database and log luns? In a cluster environment each SQL instance gets its own virtual server. So what this suggests to me is...

Hi All I've been tasked with creating an SQL cluster which a number of systems will use for database services. What they've given me to work with is a bit different to how I'd lay it out. What I've been given is two TB LUNs on a mid-level FC SAN. So the SQL binaries will go on local disk and...

Hi All First I must confess my reading on AEM was pretty skimpy. But I did get the impression that this was quite a big deal to setup, only captured crashes and would be hard to justify to our AD team. Also if I google on agentless I just get pages of AEM material. Basically we're an internal...

Now I'm no newbie so it feels a bit odd to be asking this like a grad but in light of http://redmondmag.com/features/article.asp?editorialsid=2606 I'm getting a bit worried about my MS skillbase. Our TAM currently takes any opportunity to beat up the internal guys and push MS hosted services...

Hi All Worked a bit with mom 2005 struggling with the transition. What I need to do is monitor an IIS hosted webapp (called CARS) on a farm of windows 2003 blades. My group monitors the platform - i.e. hw, os, iis. Another applications group has to be given access to monitor the app. But for...

Hi All Got some blades that are showing nics twice in device manager and 'network connections'. The are as per: http://www.softchoice.com/catalog/product.aspx?R=R20535_US_EN The ones I think are bogus show in device manager as: Broadcom BCM5708S NetXtreme II GigE (NDIS VBD Client) They have...

Hi All My first problem is that my restore dates available in the BA client don't match my backup dates showing in the tsm operational reports but I'll post that in another forum to keep things brief. So...I tried the restore and it demanded tape 006881l3 which wasn't in the library. So I...

newbie question. Setting up a home lab. Got a 2950 on the latest image. Have a win2003 rras VM doing routing. Two clients on different subnets can ping each other so seems to be working. Now I'd like to setup VLANs on the 2950 and have RRAS route across them. Is it just a matter of making...

Hi All trying to setup a basic routed VLANed test lab DSL modem/router 192.168.1.1 win xp sp1 192.168.1.22 RRAS VM LAN0 Nic 192.168.1.20 RRAS VM LAN1 Nic 172.10.10.2 Both RRAS nics have themselves as the default gateways win2003 VM 172.10.10.5 Everything has a class C mask...

Hi All I seem to remember you can't uninstall via the setup program until you remove the public folder store on this server. Its in a large production exchange environment so I wanted to check it didn't have any impacts. It doesn't have any special roles e.g. routing group master. Is it just...

Hi All TSM 5.4.0.3 on windows 2003 We've just added 1 expansion unit license for a ts3310 library. Unfortunately we didn't pay for it on installation so I probably can't get a CE to do it. The library map in the lib web interface shows the new slots correctly. When I go into 'I/O slots' it...

Hi All Got an old eServer type 847871x that work was throwing out. Had 1.5 GB of 133 RAM lying around so I thought I'd spin up maybe 3 VMs with light duties on it. Std box but it does have two CD drives on it. First tried to just install win 2003 on it - kept copying files then rebooting and...

Hi All I've got one of these second-hand and 9 10K SCSI drives so I'm trying to turn it into a diskbox for my VMware plus a few other tasks like backups and AV on my test lab. I've got many issues getting an OS on it but first things first - I've updated the netraid bios but can't get the...

Hi All We're getting 11-20 mb a sec throughput on a FAS3050 using snapdrive 5.0 and snapmanager for exchange 3.2. We're snapping and then spooling it straight to LTO3 tape drives over 4 Gbps fibre. The backup software doing the spooling is IBM's TSM. A local TSM backup or one off a lun work...

Hi All I'm sure I'm missing a typo somewhere but I just can't see it. I'm running the following script via an admin schedule which fires fine. As the first step it creates a list of expired exchange data tapes for our IT Operators to return to the library. The creation of the list is the bit...

Hi All Unfortunately we have an n5500 i.e. an IBM oemed netapp and thus no access to the now site :( We've just gone to data ontap 5 and using snapmanager for exchange 3.2. Problem is that the filer seems to be calculating the space left on volumes incorrectly. We have one lun in a volume...

Hi All Large ex2003/mom2005 system. Got a day's resource left from our vendor on customising MOM for our environment. Found http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/exchange/guides/ExMgmtGuide/fd352bef-8452-4720-9996-6e548aff8fa3.mspx?mfr=true But I'd really like some advice on what to...

Hi All TSM newb. I have to be able to restore mailboxes maybe from weeks ago which means restoring the particular exchange database. They're stored offsite so I need to know what tapes to bring back. So I have a specific file say vs1-mb1.edb which will have backed up from a specific client...

Hi All Trying to setup a CCNA switching lab. I thought I'd add routing later. I ebayed a 2950T with 2 ethernet GB ports. I was going to look for another one to practise redundant layouts. But then I read that a 2950 can only have one VLAN. My shop uses a lot of VLANs and I want to...

Hi All I've cross-posted this as it is a bit of a grey one. As part of our acceptance testing for a large new windows system I want to prove MOM 2005's ability to alert on reaching CPU/Memory and I/O thresholds. What I'm after is a free tool or script that will do that. Loadrunner is...
