OK I decided to write this up after unsuccessfully being able to find all the required info I needed in one place. In this setup we will be using Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 LTS as the OS. I have this running on a home lab ESXi server 8, on a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF CPU = Intel Core i7-3770 Installed Memory 16 GB I have some 10K SAS drives installed for the VM's If you have not already, navigate to  Get Ubuntu Server | Download | Ubuntu and download the 22.04.2 LTS ISO Next Lets create our VM that we are going to run this in. *Note Im using ESXi however you can probably do this in Workstation, Fusion, VirtualBox etc The main things to note on the VM creation. Set Ubuntu 64 bit as the guest OS Set your CPU relevant to the physicals CPU, I will be starting with 4 VCPU Set your Memory to as much as you can tolerate, I will be using 12 Disk Space - we are creating a 100G swap file, and the rest of the file can take up some room , so more is better if you can afford it Dont forget to add the U

Upgrading SC DPM 2012 to DPM 2012 SP1

-
I am taking notes as i am doing my upgrade  to help any one who may have issues along the way.

Make sure windows is updated completely
Make sure you are doing your upgrade in the right order of SC products
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628203.aspx


Before upgrading you will need Update Rollup 3 for DPM, you can get it here

If you dont know if you have it, open you DPM console and click [ABOUT DPM]

you will get a Version : 4.0.1920.0 (correct version)
if any other version upgrade

after the upgrade you will have to resync all your protection groups, If you did any modifications to the database you will re do it, IE: suspect tape removal, or Over due tape removal.



Since im already upgraded i can move forward.

Quick notes about my setup:
 Single server : 2008 R2
 SQL: 2008 R2 SP1
 8GB memory
 Dual Intel E5530 Processors






Since im doing an UPGRADE, im going to use the existing SQL server


After you run the Check and Install, it will say you need to do a backup of your database, do this now.


Next Enter Your Product Key
Next Specify where to install
Next you will need to create password for Security accounts (i just used the same passwords)
Begin your install

Apparently i need a SP2 for SQL on this server, guess it does not come through Windows Updates.....

About 5 minutes later DPM begins the upgrade.

OK so far so good.

OK, well looks like there is an update rollup for SP1 already (364.9 MB), so lets install that too.


Downloading...........
Still Downloading.......
Installing...........
Complete, It did not request a re-boot, but I'm going to re-boot just in case.
Ill have to update the local client as well , it throws this error


ok As expected all replicas are Inconsistent


and every agent needs an update




Ok so lets start with upgrading a 2008 R2 server's Agent.
Ok agent installs, no reboot requested, looks good
Now trying 2008 R2 server with SQL....Ok terrific
well this is interesting , i clicked one node of a 2K8-r2 core cluster and went to upgrade, it is now updating every node in the cluster....ok looks good
Ok now to upgrade a 2003 server.......no reboot request. excellent!
Permimeter agents have to be done manually, of course.
net use to this directory on your remote server
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\DPM\DPM\ProtectionAgents\RA\4.1.3313.0\amd64

looks like some of the perimeter agents require reboots on 2003 and 2008.


OK now to begin the consistency check on ...Everything.

looks like reporting is broken remotely, however i think that is just my setup.
Just fixed remote reporting with an old post i had....


If you have notifications setup to auto-email you , you will have to go back in and set this up.

vSphere 7 - Specify a vmkernel adapter to use for NFS datastores Step By Step \ Walkthrough on a DVS

-
Image
 Recently I needed to setup a NFS server but needed it to specifically be on a specific vmkernel adapter. I found this KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/50112854 however there were some things missing so I decided to write this walkthrough incase it helps any one else. First thing , remove all NFS mounted datastores if you haven't already. I ran through this on 7.0.2 however is probably the same for other versions. Step 1: This is going to be on a DVS, so we want to go ahead and create a port group to silo off our NFS traffic. To make life easy, we will just call it NFS Static binding and elastic port allocation were the defaults so I let these there. If you are VLAN'ing your traffic modify this info here, and complete the wizard. Next put your host into Maintenance Mode We are going to add a New TCP/IP stack to the host. First check that you have not already created one in the UI by opening a browser to the ESXi host, navigate to networking > TCP/IP Stacks SSH into your ES

Horizon View 2-factor Authentication for Free! with Google Authenticator or others

So after quite a bit of work on my proof of concept google authenticator server, a colleague pointed out that LinOPT has already created this, along a whole slew of other options. So after spending a couple of nights reading and testing I figured id post a simple walk-through to get this up and running in your environment. As mentioned in the title this is a Free solution , however if you are wanting to scale this in a large organization you would most likely want to explore their support contracts , this is a good fall back when things just don't work and this also help the developers keep this type of software free for the rest of us. To start off we want to create 2 objects in Active Director. The first is just a standard user account LinOTP will use to connect to your domain. You can put these any where in your domain as we will access them directly later. In my case i create one called 'LinOTP Svc' and put it in the default Users OU. Next create a Global or
