R: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[HELP_PC]

Restoring a storage server for a dead machine requires in any case another 
host. If you use images backups is faster to restore a physical machine

Oggetto: Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure


You don't provide nearly enough information to be specific to your case, so 
I'll be specific to mine.
 
My company was rapidly growing in the closet.  When I started with the firm 
(not in IT, at the time) there was one (Novell) server.  When I took over IT 
there were three (Windows, Windows XP, and the Novell that the other guy 
wouldn't kill off) servers.  Within a year, I had demands for 3 more and a need 
for 2 more from the IT side of things (AV Management and WSUS).  If you 
virtualize, you can provision servers (depending on licensing) so that only one 
app is installed on a server.  This is almost a necessity for line of business 
apps we run.  It's also nice for keeping the AV management server, file and 
print services, email and directory services on their own server instance.
 
If you virtualize storage, as I did at the time, you can also pursue high 
availability options.  Even without high availability, being able to bring a 
vitrual machine up on another physical host with 2 minutes of effort is really 
nice.

Hello All,

 

I have been asked to provide a comparison of the two and why going to a 
virtualized environment would benefit our company.  Although I have a solid 
idea of what needs to be said I wanted to see if anyone had a good site(s)with 
high level information  that would help me in convincing management (as 
non-technical as you can get) to virtualize.  We are a small shop (less than 50 
users) who will soon double in size so we will need to start adding more 
systems and bring email in house etc.  Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Tucson Electric Power Company wanted to change their name to TEPCO many years 
ago 
only to find that local plumber Ted Edwards Plumbing had registered the name 
TEPCO.  
Google "tepco tucson" if you're curious.

too much and risked ruining the delivery.  Same with BP.

  "The Phone Company" would work nicely, too.

Vipre Attachment Question

[Kelsey, John]

Vipre for Exchange 2003.  Is there a way to allow attachments to come in
when they are from specific senders?  For example, I want to open up
.pdf  attachments, but ONLY when they come from us...@wherever.com.  All
other .pdf's should be blocked.

 

I assume I can do this with an 'expression rule' maybe?  Anybody else
done this?

 

Thanks!

RE: Ideas on how to make this one work

[Ziots, Edward]

Unfortuntely to get 4TB in drive space I needed all 8 600GB drives, if I
take 2 away I lose 600GB off the bat. And Then only have 6X600-600=3TB
of space available. 

 

Although I haven't done it before maybe with the extra space on a
partition off the one with the 2X600GB drives I could make a mount point
on the 3TB GPT partition to give it like another 500TB worth of space?
Anyone done that before?

What I'd do is in the Array Configuration utility, create two drives out
of the raid set. Then as far as the OS is concerned, you have two
physical drives so you can have your boot MBR and your 4tb GPT drive.

Hey gang, 

 

I got a DL360 G7 with 8X600GB SAS10K drives which I am trying to make
the following happen. 

 

I am trying to get a GPT disk created before the installation of the OS,
and make sure that I take 80GB out of the Windows 2008 OS, and the rest
make a partition of 4TB or more. 

 

I am running up against the issue when creating it from the Smart-Start,
it creates the partition ( as MBR) therefore I can't convert the OS/Boot
partition accordingly, since it has to be an empty MBR disk before
converting. 

 

Any idea how to create a 4TB+ drive before installing the OS and have it
be as GPT and not MBR?

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Andrew S. Baker]

One approach you can take is this:

Determine what your costs AND time for growth would be as your organization
grows.
Contrast those costs and that provisioning time with a virtualized
infrastructure.  (Be sure to add the cost and time of building out the
virtualization infrastructure, and any training costs for staff.)

Then, once you have these numbers, you'll know whether or not you need to
make them pretty or pursue a different path.

Do you have servers that are obsolete and need to be replaced?
Could you benefit from some space consolidation?
Etc...


If your'e looking for some resources to help you once you have the
underlying math worked out, start here:

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Jonathan Link]

Acting as a business principle...
"Why do we need to spend our money on all that, when we haven't needed it
before."

Technology is used to solve challenges.  What challenges are you having that
you need to solve?

Ideas on how to make this one work

[Ziots, Edward]

Hey gang, 

 

I got a DL360 G7 with 8X600GB SAS10K drives which I am trying to make
the following happen. 

 

I am trying to get a GPT disk created before the installation of the OS,
and make sure that I take 80GB out of the Windows 2008 OS, and the rest
make a partition of 4TB or more. 

 

I am running up against the issue when creating it from the Smart-Start,
it creates the partition ( as MBR) therefore I can't convert the OS/Boot
partition accordingly, since it has to be an empty MBR disk before
converting. 

 

Any idea how to create a 4TB+ drive before installing the OS and have it
be as GPT and not MBR?

Re: Root Hints or Forwards on Windows 2008/2008 R2 DNS Servers

[Ben Scott]

  I may be missing something here, but I don't think Neustar's
behavior actually has any impact on your question. All "root hints"
are used for is to bootstrap a full-service resolver.  The resolver
uses the root hints to find a working root server, which it queries
for a current copy of the root zone.  That's it.  Once your resolver
has a current copy of the root zone, it can navigate the same public
DNS namespace that the rest of the world sees.  If Neustar changes the
nameservers for  and doesn't push an update to the root zone,
everybody else -- your ISP included -- is going to have the same
trouble.  Forwarding, or not, won't help or hinder.

  That said, forwarders are usually a good idea.  Your ISP may have
the records you are looking  for cached.  They will then answer you
faster than chasing the delegation chain will get you an answer.  If
not, they can prolly chase faster than you can, since they will be
better connected (by definition -- they're your upstream feed).  This
will also reduce the load on your firewall, since DNS answers will now
be coming from a few select resolvers, rather than potentially anybody
in the DNS.

  The usual exceptions to "forwards are a good idea" are (1) your
ISP's resolver is overloaded, so it is actually slower than your own
resolver is, (2) you're multi-homed (more than one ISP), and thus
don't want DNS tied to your ISPs, or (3) your ISP likes to rape the
DNS in an attempt to turn typos into revenue.

It can be done, and it can be done successfully, but you'll have to
provide a bit more info.

 

This is less of a yes/no question than a consulting question.  There are
different possible benefits and drawbacks to the idea, depending on
certain factors in your organization.

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Jonathan Link]

Sounds like you have a case.  Does the organization want high availability?

For instance, one of our apps was installed on our SBS.  It required
relatively frequent restarting.  Asking for additional resources to improve
uptime of all services was the reason for my request.  Based on prior poor
performance, and a frequent dialog about the need for additional resources
to accomplish their business objectives helped get approval.

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Andrew S. Baker]

It can be done, and it can be done successfully, but you'll have to provide
a bit more info.

This is less of a yes/no question than a consulting question.  There are
different possible benefits and drawbacks to the idea, depending on certain
factors in your organization.

RE: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Hugo Hernandez]

Almost the same scenario as you Jonathan.  It's not a matter of should I
virtualize or not because I am familiar with what we have and what we
need.  My question is more along the lines of how do I make a convincing
argument to invest in a virtual environment.  Current environment is 1
Dell 1950 that currently does SharePoint, FTP, etc.. and DC to name a
few.  I have only been here a few months and there is no centralized A/V
or to make it easy there isn't much in place other than what was stated
and all on one server.  In near future we will need A/V server,
dedicated SharePoint server, Exchange server, to name a few and would
like all the HA features to replicate offsite.

 

Thank you,

You don't provide nearly enough information to be specific to your case,
so I'll be specific to mine.

 

My company was rapidly growing in the closet.  When I started with the
firm (not in IT, at the time) there was one (Novell) server.  When I
took over IT there were three (Windows, Windows XP, and the Novell that
the other guy wouldn't kill off) servers.  Within a year, I had demands
for 3 more and a need for 2 more from the IT side of things (AV
Management and WSUS).  If you virtualize, you can provision servers
(depending on licensing) so that only one app is installed on a server.
This is almost a necessity for line of business apps we run.  It's also
nice for keeping the AV management server, file and print services,
email and directory services on their own server instance.

 

If you virtualize storage, as I did at the time, you can also pursue
high availability options.  Even without high availability, being able
to bring a vitrual machine up on another physical host with 2 minutes of
effort is really nice.

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Jonathan Link]

Let me also emphasize, that we still run three servers.  Two physical hosts,
one physical Server on 2003 acting as a DC, and 9 virtualized guest
servers.

Re: Virtual vs Physical infrastructure

[Steven Peck]

Number of existing servers or services you have now?
What you are doing now?
Do you plan on having just a stand alone server with several guests?
Are you looking at a fail over scenerio/cluster?

50 to 100 users is 4-10 servers depending on what your environment is like
and what your company does (law firm, software development, accounting,
rental, retail sales, manufacturering, construction)

I don't know that virtualization will benefit you at this point.  Short
answer is, fewer beefy servers draw less power, but require a deeper
understanding of environment complexities for the onsite engineer and
posibly more support contracts.

Re: Dual Booting a PC with Win 7 and Snow leopard

[S Powell]

I believe that you can only VM OS X _Server_ and then only on Apple
hardware.

but yes googling "hackintosh" will yield your EULA breaking results.


Other wise, I'd suggest a Mac mini, headless, and have people VNC into it.

RE: server locks up

[John Aldrich]

Nope...same server. :D I just removed it. I disabled it in the past, but never 
removed it. I finally got sick of it and removed it. With any luck, this took 
care of the problem.

Not positive it *is* resolved, however I have a strong suspicion that the

piece of software and this morning the server was up and running still

I've got a Dell Poweredge 2900 that keeps locking up for no apparent reason 
that I can find. Nothing in the event logs...just the logs stop at a certain 
point. If I reboot the server on a regular basis (2 or 3 times per week) it's 
all good, but I hate to do that. I'd like to find out what's causing this 
problem. Any suggestions where to start since there appears to be nothing in

RE: System Restore and Scareware

Cool, nice one.  I'll download that for later use.  As it was hopefully I have

I suspect regedit will be among the list of window titles that the malware will 
check and terminate if it sees them run. A trick to get around this is to run 
the regedit window on a different desktop (not monitor - use something like 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881). Malware generally

Subject: System Restore and Scareware

I've had a couple of recent cases of scareware infecting some Windows XP Pro 
systems here. One reported lots of virus infestations and prevented the user 
from accessing the internet and, for a low price, would fix all. The other 
reported that the hard drive had tons of errors and the boot sector was gone, 
etc. And for a small fee, their utility could fix it. This system was unusable.

Maybe this is pretty basic but I haven't seen mention of it but in both cases, 
Window's System Restore easily removed both. I've seen descriptions of fixing 
infected systems involving fairly complex procedures and multiple utilities. I 
guess I just wanted to recommend giving System Restore a try first before 
resorting to the heavy artillery.

On the system that had the failed hard drive scareware, it was impossible to 
access System Restore in normal windows. I figured Safe Mode was the way to go 
but I discovered System Restore is not available in Safe Mode. I did learn that 
you can run System Restore in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Just enter 
"%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" at the command prompt and you're in 
System Restore. Not sure why regular Safe Mode wouldn't have that command 
available.

Hope that's of help to someone else.
