I vaguely remember that work Paul – but I’m amazed you’ve got all those figures 
in your head still!

 

I think Sezai might be able to attest to any general issues using a well set up 
SQL/SharePoint/SAN infrastructure. If funds allow, my experience has been that 
a well configured vmware solution is preferable given all the manageability 
benefits, with few issues arising.

(put my CIsco hat on for a sec)..  In terms of IO and bottlenecks I did some 
work on this a few years back when we contractually had to guarantee a minimim 
media streaming throughput on a gigabit network. 

Once you go beyond 100mbit (and any virtual server infrastructure likely uses 
several teamed gigabit adapters), the PCI bus kicks in as an IO constraint. But 
PCI-X specification took care of that as it at the time did 133MB/s or 
1064Mb/sec (gigabit speed - and this was 6 years ago so and is faster now).

So once you move past bus speeds, for us, disk IO constraints kicked in at 
around 5-600mbit/sec. Of course, there are lots of dependencies here, but we 
were testing on seriously good hardware (for its time) on large compaq raid 
arrays. If we streamed data from memory, we acheived 992mbit on a gigabit 
network. If we read from disk it went down to 600-650mbit.

Even based on figures from 6 years ago, 600mbit is plenty to handle a heavy 
load SQL server for most sites :-)

Now VM or no VM, if the disk infrastructure is on a SAN, we know that PCI 
bottlenecks are unlikely to become an issue and fibre channel is 2 or 4 
gigabit. You could still hit constraints if enough VM's worked hard enough at 
he same time, but for the most part, it all comes down to the disk 
infrastucture you have.

I do know of companies that run production VM's because they have all of the 
same advantages of using VM's for Dev, but they always put their data on a 
fast, redundant disk infrastructire. They planned things properly by estimating 
future peak I/O requirements of their VM's and ensured that the VM hardware was 
sized for those peak loads.

Thus I don't see a problem with SharePoint/SQL on production VM's when properly 
sized and planned for. In fact I know IBM engineers who swear by this 
arrangment for Exchange as well (and Microsoft definitely does not support 
exchange on VM's)

Paul

Hi all,

We currently have a client who has a virtual SharePoint environment. 
Virtual Web/Application Server and a virtual SQL Server.

We are seeing, when the web/application server is v-motion, a whole 
stack of database connectivity errors appear in the event log, the SharePoint 
logs bloat to massive size and owstimer.exe is peaking out.

My initial investigation has revealed that while v-motion is happening, 
network connectivity between the web/application server and the SQL server is 
lost.

Has anyone encountered this before, as this seems like a common setup 
and if so, is there a work around for this (we have currently set the 
web/application and SQL server not to v-motion and be static).

Thanks,

Re: [OzMOSS] MOSS & V-Motion

2008-02-06 Thread Bill Williamson
By "while it is vmotion" do you mean "While we are actively moving it
between physical VM hosts" ?

If so what did you expect?

If not, we need more details.

VMotion is what lets you reallocate a live running VM in a VMWare
cluster from one physical host to another, while running against their
propriatary SAN provider, and it shoudl not be TYPICALLY done except
in the case of taking down the physical machine.

For those of you who don't know, what it does is create an in-space
copy of RAM and state, move that to another server, all the while
keeping a "changelog" of things that happen.  Once the initial state
is synced, it syncs the changelog iterively until the new VM is the
same as the old, and then it switches out networking/etc.  It's
amazing that something like it works, but one caveat is it DOES NOT
work with active socket connections (which will time out in most
circumstances).

Hi
Just make sure you document things like GAC'd DLL's and any manual edits to web.config that developers have asked you to put in there. There are a few ways to enumerate the guts of a farm/ssp/site collection, but that sort of stuff gets easily missed and it is that stuff that will hurt you during a move or recovery.
From a governance point of view of documenting farms/sites, my mantra is if its not given to me as a solution, I ain't putting it on :-) 
It's preferable to document, "deploy solution x, y and z" than it is to say "whack DLL x into GAC and edit web.config ... "

Visio allows you to create a sitemap of your portal structure

File > New> Software and Database > Web Site Map
In the url dialog, provide your MOSS url, eg http://moss.company.org
Then it will go to work, that might take a while.

The result is a huge tree with not-so-good names/titles.
You can apply some filters to get rid of certain entries.

Not sure if that's what you are after?

Visio allows you to create a sitemap of your portal structure

 

File > New> Software and Database > Web Site Map

In the url dialog, provide your MOSS url, eg http://moss.company.org

Then it will go to work, that might take a while.

 

The result is a huge tree with not-so-good names/titles.

You can apply some filters to get rid of certain entries.

 

Not sure if that's what you are after?

[OzMOSS] custom site definition question

2008-02-06 Thread Aaron Saikovski
Dear All,

I am having a mental blank at the moment and I can't remember for the
life of me how this works.

If I create a custom site definition, create a new site based on that
definition, make changes to the original site definition. Will the
changes be reflected in my sites based on that definition, or do I need
to recreate the sites?

Can you refresh my memory.

 

 

Cheers,

Aaron

RE: [OzMOSS] custom site definition question

2008-02-06 Thread Hodgson, John
However I remember with WSS 2.0 you could actually make changes to an existing 
Site Def and certain changes would come through to sites already based on those 
definitions.

Especially items like new fields that are added at the end of a List definition 
or changes to an ASPX page that forms part of the site def, I expect this is 
still the same with MOSS unless someone has experienced otherwise.

Site Definition ONET.xml

Changes to the Site Definitions ONET.XML file won’t be reflected in sites that 
have previously been created. Changes will only be reflected only when you 
create new sites.

 

Site Definition .aspx pages modified using notepad or VS.Net

If these pages are modified with notepad or VS.net (not SPD) and existing sites 
haven’t customised these pages using SPD then yes existing sites will take on 
these changes.

 

Site Definition .aspx pages modified using SPD

 If the .aspx pages have been customised using SPD then they are stored in the 
content database so changes to the original files on file system won’t change 
existing sites.

RE: [OzMOSS] custom site definition question

2008-02-06 Thread Sezai KOMUR
ONET.xml is used for PROVISIONING new sites, but if the site definition 
contains .aspx files then these are actually read from the file system every 
time (unless customised)

Changes in ONET.xml are read from the XML file the next time you create a site.

So you are stuck if you want your existing site to make use of changes in 
ONET.xml. You will need to 'magically' export out the content from your 
existing site, then re-create the site (provision a new site) using the updated 
site definition, then 'magically' re-import it in.

'magically' - using a custom built or third party content import/export tool

If you haven’t customised the site from the Site Definition.  You can reset
to site definition which “should” pick up the new changes. Right?

ONET.xml is used for PROVISIONING new sites, but if the site definition
contains .aspx files then these are actually read from the file system every
time (unless customised)

 

Changes in ONET.xml are read from the XML file the next time you create a

So you are stuck if you want your existing site to make use of changes in
ONET.xml. You will need to ‘magically’ export out the content from your
existing site, then re-create the site (provision a new site) using the
updated site definition, then ‘magically’ re-import it in.

[OzMOSS] TFS 2008 and MOSS 2007

2008-02-06 Thread Prior, David
Hi all,

 

I'm testing out TFS 2008 on a new server just to see what we can do with
it and why we would upgrade from TFS 2005.  I've read up on the
improvements and agree that we should move to 2008, but I was just
trying to work out what the benefits of going from WSS 3.0 (installed
with TFS 2008) to full blown MOSS 2007.

 

Has anyone deployed MOSS 2007 with their TFS 2008 installation? If so,
what additional stuff in MOSS are you using?

 

Once thing I want to try to set up is a Project Tasks web part that
reads the current Work Items and displays them as a gaant chart within
the portal.  I've tried doing this with WSS 3.0 but I can't figure out
how to point it to the TFS database. I figured I could use MOSS 2007 BDC
to do it, but am open to ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

David

2008-02-06 Thread Clayton James
In your scenario proposed Sezai I might be inclined to instead use Features to 
make changes to existing sites and update the site definition with a Feature 
reference for new sites created from the site definition.

 

1/ Create a Feature to add the new functionality to existing sites and deploy.

2/ Add the Feature reference (GUID) to the ONET.XML file so all new sites 
created from the site definition will have the new functionality.

 

This would eliminate on the import/export process.

RE: [OzMOSS] custom site definition question

2008-02-06 Thread Sezai KOMUR
You are right Clayton, that's a better way to do it. It's better to make use of 
features do the work, or you can change individual settings in the existing 
site with object model code, write a console app to modify specific site 
settings with code that you can't modify with the sharepoint UI or sharepoint 
designer.

It really depends on what you are specifically trying to do.

Import/export manually would also lose revisions and create/update user 
information and create/update times which is not good, and not an option in 
most cases.

Reset to site definition resets customised files in the site to the site 
definition, but it doesn't 'pick up' ONET.xml changes, which are only read 
during provisioning. It resets all customised pages.

Eg.

ONET.xml contains my custom feature -

Now if I edit the ONET.xml file, such as commenting out the MyCustomActions 
feature and change the ChromeMasterUrl setting or the WelcomePageUrl setting to 
different values.
Then do an IIS reset, and then access the /_layouts/reghost.aspx page and 
select the Reset all pages in this site to site definition version option.
My site still has my Custom Actions feature enabled and it still has the old 
ChromeMasterUrl and WelcomePageUrl it hasn't 'picked up' ONET.xml changes.


Of course if you need to make these sorts of changes, you can easily 
activate/deactivate features separately as suggested by Clayton, you can also 
manually switch the Welcome Page and the Master Page for the site in site 
settings etc.

RE: [OzMOSS] custom site definition question

2008-02-06 Thread Lee Marriage
Adding my support to Claytons/Sezai's approach - From (painful) experience 
coupling functionality into ONET.xml is bad news... I tend to look at the Site 
Definition as a container for the Features I want 'plugged in' for a particular 
type of site.

Now, this may be a slight diversion on the topic but thought I'd put this out 
thereJ... Something that's been troubling me for a while is the activation of 
Features with properties!

As shown below, in ONET.xml you can specify properties to pass on to the 
feature property bag on activation/deactivation etc which is all well and 
good(you can also specify properties in the feature xml file). However, the 
problem comes when you want to subsequently activate/deactivate the feature on 
a particular site. Where would the Feature get these properties from because as 
stated before ONET.xml is only read at the time you create the site?!

Is it that one needs to provide alternative functionality when using Features 
with properties? Or is there another way of activating Features with properties 
on a per site basis.

Lee
