Lotus Foundations on VM - Fully Qualified Domain Name

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  foundations | Comments (2)  |  Visits (141)
I deployed a foundations server on VMWare ESX a little while ago, I recent installed Reach for a demo.

What I have noticed is that the fully qualified host name of my foundation server doesn't get pick up in my local area network...  only the ip address works

Has anyone come across this and know how I can get my foundation server's fully qualified host name to work in my local area network?

PVU tables for past and present servers - cross vendors

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  pvu | Comments (0)  |  Visits (126)
I was doing a quote for Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) yesterday for a cross vendor server environment and came across this.

I found it extremely useful for determining number of cores and PVUs.  Hopefully someone else can make good use of it.

VMWare Server install and ubuntu virtual machine, step by step guide

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  install guide vmware ubuntu | Comments (0)  |  Visits (186)
I have created 2 step by step guides for one of my business partners.

The first guide is for VMWare Server install, with screen shots.

Second guide shows deploying a new virtual machine on Ubuntu operating system.

I am sure you guys know how to do this already, but might be useful to forward it on to your customers to save you the trouble.

(but of course, they might end up making the same mistakes or bad practice as I did)

Enjoy

PVU - Sub-capacity and Micro-partitioning

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  pvu | Comments (0)  |  Visits (196)
Just a quick note to remind myself and others on Sub-Capacity and Micro-partitioning PVU calculation.

This information is correct 25/6/09, please let me know if any information is incorrect

Pre-req: server tin ware make model, processor model

work out the PVU per core on the physical server

Sub-capacity in virtialised environment (VMware, Virtual Machine):

PVU of each virtual CPU (vCPU) equals PVU of 1 phyical core

if PVU for 1 physical core is 50, the 1 vCPU = 50 PVU

Sub-capacity in LPAR:

PVU based on the number of cores assigned to the LPAR

Sub-capacity in DLAR:

PVU based on the max number of cores used by the software

two DLARs, DLPAR 1 and DLPAR 2

DLPAR 1 assigned 8 cores running WAS

DLPAR 2 assigned 2 cores running DB2

At peak, DLPAR 1 grows to 9 cores and DLPAR 2 reduce to 1 core

Total number of cores to license for WAS = 9

Total number of cores to license for DB2 = 2

Micro-partioning Capped:

License on the PVU of entitled cores (EC), basically the number of cores assigned to the capped micro-partition

Core alocation in increments of 0.01

When working PVU, round the total number of assigned cores to next whole unit:

4 capped micro-partionings running WAS, total cores assigned = 5.2

this will round up to 6, and licensed to PVU of 6 cores

Micro-partitioning Uncapped / Dynamic:

Licensed to the alocated virtual CPU (vCPU)

PVU of each virtual CPU (vCPU) equals PVU of 1 phyical core

if PVU for 1 physical core is 50, the 1 vCPU = 50 PVU

Summary:

for a Dedicated LPAR, the highest number of cores allocated to the LPAR

for a Capped Partition, the highest amount of Entitled Capacity (EC)

for a Uncapped Partitions, the highest amount of VP (Virtual Processor Cores)

for a Shared Processor Pool, the lower of the sum of each partition for a product or the processor core capacity of the shared pool

Aggregate fractional processor cores, apply shared pool capping rules, and round up at the server level to the next whole processor core (lower of the sum of the virtual cores or the server capacity)

Quick question

When I get asked a "quick question" I expect the person to speak very fast, thus making it a quick question.

Further more, the opening question should be "Can I have a quick answer",to which I will reply with the shortest answer possible, spoken at a tremendous speed.

Lotus Foundations Start and Branch Office cheat sheet + Reach update

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  foundations reach office branch lotus | Comments (0)  |  Visits (309)

A quick cheat sheet for Lotus Foundations, this last 2 weeks, I have been getting lots of questions regarding this, so I have put together a cheat sheet.

Please let me know if anything included is fabrication and lies, I will correct.


Lotus Foundations comes in 2 parts:


Software - Lotus Foundations Start server

Hardware - Lotus Foundations Appliance



Lotus Foundations Appliance is essentially a IBM SystemX machine, pre-configured with processor, ram, disk (simple swap), and flash memory.

(The flash memory gives you failover assurance, so if in the unlikelihood of the disk failing, you can still boot up the box and connect to network.)

Lotus Foundations Start server, gives you firewall, antivirus, domain controller, file server and much more.

It runs on Linux OS, and its pretty much self configured and self maintained.



Lotus Foundations Run is a feature of the Foundations Start server, its basically a VMWare server (license is free from VMWare website).

Having a VMWare server facilitates the need to deploy additional software and services of your choice, for example, BES, Domino server for CRM

From dev to admin(ish)

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  admin ibm dev skills | Comments (0)  |  Visits (260)
actually, not really admin, but more of "find out how and get it done"

its quite a change, for me its always been more dev than admin, but now, there is no dev, and all admin

its been good learning and requires a different take on problem solving skills

so, devs, get your hands on some admining. I now know more about VMs, OS, than I would have needed to know working as a dev

this of course, is just my opinion

and whats the point to this blog? probably none... I am still getting used to this blogging lark.

TSM v6.1

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  db2 | Comments (1)  |  Visits (286)
why me? why?

I stoped my TSM v6.1 installation mid way yesterday because I didnt have the SAN ready.

What a mistake. I have uninstalled everything, and tried to reinstall, but it always craps out at the db2 instance

Uninstalling everything and attempt to reinstall results in this error:

com.ibm.ac.coi.api.exception.WrappedException: The ANT ant task failed. BaseDir = F:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\_uninst\plan\install\MachinePlan_localhost AntFile = MachinePlan_localhost.xml

BALLS....

Why I break everythings

Kam Cheung |   | Tags:  vmware systemx tsm | Comments (1)  |  Visits (163)
Until the past 8 months or so, I have been a Lotus Domino developer, touching on Websphere Portal and Portlet Factory development. My prefer method is go in there, get it done, out! and thats worked pretty well for me, because I am usually fixing someone else's code. but that was my previous life. I am now a "Technical Consultant - IBM Software", which means I have to know everything from Hardware parts (SystemX, SystemI, CPU, PVU, storage), VMWare (ESX, VMWare Center, etc) and IBM Software. I can't just hide in my little yellow / purple bubble any longer. Today I have done two things that are new to me. First - TSM v6.1 install. Second - VMWare Center Install with VMWare license server and also did my usual breaking things.... this time I attempted at tidying up one of our SystemX servers, I uninstalled MSSQL, thinking what could that possibly be used for. Load and behold, VMWare Center thats what. BALLS I have managed to get VMWare Center reinstalled with VMWare License Server, but how much of it will still work? (VMotion? other features that I have never used?) Time to go on a course, I need to know how to fix what I break. Although it might just be about a career too late, ha
