Welcome to NuWire Investor | About Us | Login
Hot on the heels of falling 10-year bond yields, the conflicting news just keep on coming. The newest reports show that mortgage rates have continued to plummet and that both 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate loans have hit rock bottom, literally breaking records. Worries about global economic recovery have facilitated a 0.04% drop for the 30-year mortgage while the 15-year dropped 0.03%, bringing each to 3.49% and 2.80% respectively.
This is of course good news for homeowners who want to refinance their loans and save thousands of dollars a year in borrowing costs. There are more than a few people looking to capitalize on this situation. Refinance applications are soaring right now, even though applications for purchase loans—because of their scarcity—are more likely to be approved. If you're got schemes on a new home go ahead and call the movers, because you're basically a shoe-in for the loan you need.
This, of course, comes on the heels of news that home prices are showing signs of bottoming out and rebounding. Home values have gone up 0.2% percent, marking the first increase since 2007. Additional growth was shown in the fact that April marked the first monthly increase in over half a year. Despite anemic job growth, the housing market jolt suggests the possibility that we've seen the bottom of the real estate crash.
How the falling mortgage rates will figure into this remains to be seen. Economists hope it will fuel an even bigger uptick in new purchases, though data from June showed that new home sales were down 8.4% from May. A boom in new sales would have a good effect on the overall economy, triggering home construction jobs that would reduce the unemployment rate.
This flurry of data testifies to few certainties, although we can certainly still say that the weakened economy continues to feed pessimism among investors. Hopefully an uptick in home sales, which could be precipitated by the fall in mortgage rates, will inspire more confidence. Though it's more likely it will merely encourage more refinanced home loans.

Arab Perspective: News for Feb.19
Baghdad Life's regular weekday roundup of news from around the Middle East as collected by Sarmad Ali
Former Army Generals Snub Iraqi Government's Offer to Return
Former Iraqi generals who lost their jobs after the U.S. invasion of Iraq are unwilling to reconcile with the current Iraqi government unless the government rescinds a law banning them from holding public posts in the new government, Baghdad's Azzaman reported. The ban, issued and implemented when Iraq was under the control of the Coalition Provisional Authority and supported leading Shiite Iraqi figures like Ahmed Chalabi, has left swaths of professionals jobless. Sacked generals are believed to have been responsible for some of the major attacks against civilians as well as American and coalition forces.

Sweden Tightens Immigration Rules On Iraqis
The Swedish government is tightening measures on Iraqis seeking asylum, rounding up refugees and deporting them to Baghdad, Baghdad's Azzaman daily reported. The new procedures have alarmed thousands of Iraqi asylum seekers residing in Sweden, who blame the Iraqi government, which has signed an agreement allowing Sweden to deport Iraqi asylum seekers whose cases have been rejected to Baghdad, mainly because of the improved security situation in Iraq. Many Iraqis started to apply for asylum in Sweden after the flare in sectarian violence in the past few years. Sweden has a fairly large Iraqi immigrant community, but most of the Iraqis there arrived in the early 1980s for political or humanitarian reasons and have a dual citizenship.

Yemen Arrests and Extradites Wanted Saudi to Kingdom
Yemen handed over to Saudi authorities a Saudi suspected to have links to the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Yemen in September, the Yemen Observer reported. Mohammad al-Awfi, who is believed to have rejoined the ranks of al Qaeda in Yemen after his release from Guantanamo Bay, appeared in a video with another detainee, Saeed Shihri, who is suspected to be the perpetrator of the attack on the embassy. The attack happened less than a year after both suspects were released from the U.S. military detention center in Cuba. Saudi Arabia has been on the hunt for Mr. al-Awfi and 84 other terrorists who might be regrouping to launch attacks in the kingdom.

U.A.E. Citizens Working For Private Companies Get More Rights
In a move to protect the rights of its citizens who work for the private sector, the United Arab Emirates is planning to inflict legal action against private companies that fire employees who have not flouted the country's labor laws, Gulf News reported. If private companies decide to lay off employees for reasons other than violating labor laws, they have to give the Ministry of Labor 30 days' notice. The new decision comes after a private company terminated the jobs of a number of citizens because of its own financial troubles.

After traumatic injury, the brain undergoes a prolonged period of degenerative change that is paradoxically accompanied by cognitive recovery. The spatiotemporal pattern of atrophy and the specific relationships of atrophy to cognitive changes are ill understood. The present study used tensor-based morphometry and neuropsychological testing to examine brain volume loss in 17 traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and 13 controls over a 4-year period. Patients were scanned at 2 months, 1 year, and 4 years post-injury. High-dimensional warping procedures were used to create change maps of each subject's brain for each of the two intervals. TBI patients experienced volume loss in both cortical areas and white matter regions during the first interval. We also observed continuing volume loss in extensive regions of white matter during the second interval. Neuropsychological correlations indicated that cognitive tasks were associated with subsequent volume loss in task-relevant regions. The extensive volume loss in brain white matter observed well beyond the first year post-injury suggests that the injured brain remains malleable for an extended period, and the neuropsychological relationships suggest that this volume loss may be associated with subtle cognitive improvements.

Oregon city council on Monday approved a contract with Perrysburg Pipe and Supply Company for the purchase of five fire hydrants.
Perrysburg Pipe and Supply Company submitted the lowest bid of $1,976 per hydrant among four companies. Ferguson Waterworks, Holland, submitted a bid of $2,145; HD Supply Waterworks, Perrysburg, bid $1,990; and Kuhlman Corporation, Maumee, bid $1,983.84.
Public Service Director Paul Roman said most of the hydrants will replace old hydrants "that we are constantly replacing throughout the year. There are a lot of hydrants that we have on a list."
There is concern about Asian carp reaching the Great Lakes, but is anyone concerned about the term "Asian" carp?
There is no such thing, technically — "Asian" carp is a "garbage word" for four species of invasive fish from the same family (Cyprinidae), says biologist Dr. Patrick Kocovsky. The family also includes emerald shiners, minnows, and other fish related to carp.
However, one species of Asian carp, grass carp, is already spawning in the Great Lakes. Dr. Kocovsky says researching grass carp could provide the gateway to keeping other Asian Carp species, which are more of a threat to the lake's ecology, from flourishing in the Great Lakes.
A request to renew a levy will again be before voters this year in the Woodmore School District.
The board of education is planning to vote Tuesday on the second of two resolutions required for placing the issue on the August ballot.
Last week, board members voted 4-1 to begin the process for placing on the ballot a renewal request for a $600,000 emergency levy originally approved in 2011.
Joe Liszak, board president, voted against the measure, saying he'd rather have the issue on the November ballot.
Toledo City Council unanimously approved a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a new convenience store in East Toledo, despite opposition from the Toledo City Plan Commission.
The building, at 2346 Seaman Street, where the store will operate, has been vacant for years. Additional parcels at the site, which abuts a residential neighborhood on Van Buren Street, include 2340 and 2344 Seaman Street.
Built in 1912, the two-story brick building with apartments housed at one time a neighborhood candy store.
Developers of the Oregon Clean Energy project want to build a second natural gas-fired electric generating plant in the city, according to city officials.
It would be similar to the Oregon Clean Energy plant, an 800 megawatt gas-fired electric generating plant currently under construction at 816 Lallendorf Rd.
The second plant, described as an "expansion," would be located next to Oregon Clean Energy.
Developers William Siderewicz, a managing partner of North America Project Development LLC, a Boston based energy group, and William Martin, also a managing partner with the development firm, have already contacted the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, according to Oregon City Administrator Mike Beazley.

FiveThirtyEight's Replacement Has Better News for Democrats
The New York Times' replacement for the departed FiveThirtyEight is out with its first election forecast of the cycle, predicting that Democrats have about a 51% chance of keeping majority control in the Senate this November.
The new site, called The Upshot, launched Tuesday to provide a data- and graphics-based politics hub at the New York Times. The effort was launched after FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver left the paper last summer to start his own website.
FiveThirtyEight released its own election forecast last month calling the GOP a "slight favorite" to win control of the Senate — an analysis that drew fire from Democrats, who pointed out past FiveThirtyEight predictions gone wrong.
The Upshot's forecast is careful to note that their 51% prediction is not a decisive one. "Although the Democrats currently have a 51 percent chance, that doesn't mean we're predicting the Democrats to win the Senate — the probability is essentially the same as a coin flip," the post states.
But the post says Republicans' chances have been declining in the past few weeks, when they peaked at 54%. The post cites lackluster polling for Republicans in Arkansas and Iowa as the reason for the decline.
The site also offers viewers to "roll the dice" themselves. Viewers can click a button labeled "spin" to simulate the outcome of the 36 Senate elections, based on the Upshot's calculated probabilities.
Real Clear Politics, a poll aggregator, currently has the Senate race at 47 for Republicans, 46 for Democrats, and seven as tossups.

As of October 1st, The Flying Monkey is under new ownership.
The location and the name are the same, but all the sweets have undergone a major flavor overhaul. All of the recipes are new and much improved! Fresh and seasonal ingredients are now the star of the show. We make delicious whoopie pies, cupcakes and cakes in a variety of fun and seasonal flavors. Additionally, we have a creative array of brownies, blondies and bars.
One of the major innovations of the new ownership is our Pumpple Cake. We started making this big beautiful hybrid cake/pie in early October, just a week or so after I took over and we've been selling out daily ever since. The national press has been all over the Pumpple cake. Our cake/pie hybrid has made television appearances on NBC's Today Show, Food Network's Outrageous Food and The Rachael Ray Show. We're honored to receive the press and are glad so many folks have come down to the bakery for a slice since seeing our mammoth confection on TV.
We hope to keep this blog updated with new items we have available at the Flying Monkey as well as news and updates about our infamous Pumpple Cake.
If you've had a not so great experience in the past with The Flying Monkey we urge you to try us again. It's a completely different bakery than you've seen in years past. We're sure you'll love the new versions of our goodies as much as we do.

And I also think your peanut butter truffles and your butterscotch truffles in particular are superb. I'm hungry now just thinking about them....
- 'trish said...11:31 AMWhen this story hit MSNBC my friends and I tried to do our own version. Yours looks so much more attractive, guess we should leave it to the pros.
Thank you for inspiring a really fun afternoon in the kitchen!

The Sun Also Rises
by Ernest Hemingway
The Sun Also Rises Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- In what ways are the male and female characters in the novel similar? How are they different? What might Hemingway be saying about sexuality and love in the post-war world?
- Compare and contrast Cohn, Mike, and Jake. Consider their wartime experiences, relationships with women, etc. How are they similar? Different?
- Is Brett a sympathetic character?
- Is it possible to generalize about whether the characters that served in WWI (Jake, Bill, Mike, the Count, Brett) are different from Cohn, who did not?
- How would The Sun Also Rises be similar or different if narrated by a character other than Jake? How would Cohn tell the story? Brett? Mike?

Interpersonal communication, which has always been challenging for many, is further complicated today by convenient technology that can shield us from face-to-face communication or telephone dialogue. A client recently explained her preference for excessive text messaging (hundreds a day) because she appreciated its ability to help her avoid awkward gaps in conversation.
The art of conversation may soon be extinct, as those who remember the good old days of dialogue without a device, become outnumbered by those who do not. And this allows women who might already experience some degree of social anxiety to avoid practicing communicating and overcoming conversation stumpers.
But as professional women, we will all, at some point, need to interact with clients, peers and managers; and since we are socially expected to be naturally better at conversation than men, communication skills are critical to business success.
If you are painfully shy, your conversations may regularly end abruptly or in frequent misunderstandings. If you feel that your input is frequently overlooked or dismissed, your communication skills may need honing. Here's how to address both problems.
1. Ask an icebreaker question.
For example, asking where someone was born and raised allows you to share information you might know about the person's home state or to inquire about that part of the country and what made her relocate. Most people respond favorably to those who show interest in them as long as the questions asked are not intrusive or too personal. For instance, in a first conversation, try to avoid touchy topics like medical issues, age, or income—and don't volunteer too much detail about your own medical issues, income, personal tragedy, family conflicts, or sources of extreme anger and annoyance. The goal for casual conversation is just that—casual. Look for changes in gestures or facial expressions that indicate a person might be uncomfortable or irritated by a particular subject. Think of a few appropriate questions (i.e., not just weather or movies) to keep on hand for a chance meeting that requires small talk.
2. Use minimal verbal encouragers to seem responsive.
Nodding and saying things like "right" or "I see what you mean" during natural breaks in the conversation let her know you're listening and are engaged. Most people naturally pause and wait for encouraging sounds from the other person that assure them that they've been heard. They're hardly noticeable when present, but when they're missing, their absence is representative of what researcher and psychologist Dr. John Gottman refers to as a "failed bid" for another's attention, humor or support. Too many failed bids may kill your conversation. Also, intersperse comments about yourself with questions about the other person's life experiences. Try to make regular eye contact—and, whenever possible, avoid taking cell phone calls or allowing children to consistently interrupt adult dialogue.
3. Resist the urge to brag, name-drop or interrupt.
Do you know someone who allows you to speak only until she can seize control and dominate the rest of the conversation? It's annoying, right? For example, imagine initiating a conversation about a dental problem you're experiencing only to have someone cut you off to begin telling the story of her dental woes, never to return to your original comments. Try to listen slightly more than you speak. Co-Active Coaching authors Laura Whitworth, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House, and Phillip Sandahl describe three levels of listening. At level one, awareness is on ourselves, and we listen for how others' conversations apply to our own needs. Level two is defined by a sharp focus on another person, where we listen with empathy, clarification, and collaboration. At level three, we do both. Try to be completely engaged in what another person is saying without being preoccupied with thoughts of a rebuttal or reply.
4. Avoid providing too much detail.
Droning on and on about details that do not enrich your story or add to the punch line encourages listeners to tune out, discarding unconsciously what they've already determined is superfluous commentary. People who chatter excessively tend to believe they have to justify their actions and decisions by sharing every phase of their thought process. Stay focused and your conversation will be more compelling.

As you very well may be aware, Graham Norton and Andrew Lloyd Webber have started doing this thing where they pick a musical they want to bring back to the stage and then go out and do a TV show that focuses on casting the lead role with an unknown. Fine, you're probably not aware of it, but it is the case and it's happening again, this time with "Oliver!" where they'll be looking for both an Oliver (three actually) and a Nancy. Expect fun, expect laughs, and expect folks like John Barrowman, Denise Van Outen, Cameron Mackintosh, and Barry Humphries to help Norton and Webber.

Indictment: Greenville Walmart shooter picked victims by race
Man had more than 100 rounds of ammunition
Indictments handed up against a man who shot four people near a Greenville Wal-Mart in June say he picked out his victims because they were white.
A grand jury indicted 23-year-old Lakim Faust on 14 charges Monday, including four counts of attempted first-degree murder.
The indictments say Faust, who is black, picked out his victims based on their race. The documents didn't specify why Faust wanted to shoot white people, and police have not talked about why he picked out his targets.
Authorities say Faust had a plan for the attack and wanted to shoot a large number of people on June 21. Investigators say he had more than 100 rounds of ammunition when he started shooting at people at a law firm and a shopping center.

The Initial Public Offerings of Listed Firms

A number of firms in the United Kingdom first list without issuing equity and then issue equity shortly thereafter. We argue that this two-stage offering strategy is less costly than an IPO because trading reduces the valuation uncertainty of these firms before they issue equity. We find that initial return is 10% to 30% lower for these firms than for comparable IPOs, and we provide evidence that the market in the firm's shares lowers financing costs. We also show that these firms time the market both when they list and when they issue equity.

A group of colleges and universities are battling legislation that would force them to charge in-state tuition rates to American troops and benefits if they want to continue getting payments from the GI Bill.
Federal Times reports that the American Association of Colleges and Universities claims they'll lose significant revenue if they're obliged to charge lower tuition rates as part of a series of bills.currently pending in Congress.
"It is difficult to endorse the proposed legislation until we know more about the impact." a Veterans Affairs Department official told Federal Times.

The New York Times had no less than four pieces from the book including an excerpt in the New York Times Magazine, a DealBook column by Andrew Ross Sorkin, an official review of the bookand a piece about all the hoopla. The Wall Street Journal had its own review and so did other major outlets. A search in Factiva yielded 385 mentions for the book in the last 24 hours, and that doesn't include blogs.
Then, a BNP Paribas executive wrote to all of his clients and told them Lewis was invested in IEX, the platform to combat high frequency traders that he wrote about. That prompted Lewis to issue a strong rebuttal on his Facebook page calling out the BNP executive by name. Twitter went nuts in the afternoon just as the whole Lewis frenzy was beginning to die down. BuzzFeed obtained a copy of the email (the post got 58,000 views in less than 24 hours), which fueled the fire even more.
To top it all off, in a highly unusual move, the FBI reached out to media outlets to let them know they had been running an investigation of high frequency trading for over a year.
The book is of course No. 1 on the Amazon Best Sellers list right now.

DUI checkpoints praised as deterrent but don't yield the most arrests in Va.
By Jim Nolan and Bill Mckelway
Richmond Times-Dispatch
RICHMOND, Va. — On a moonlit spring evening in Mechanicsville, a detail of Hanover County sheriff's deputies and state troopers figured the timing was right.
It was Friday, the opening night of the long Memorial Day weekend -- prime time for nailing drunken drivers.
From 11 p.m. until 3 a.m. officers funneled nearly 800 cars through a sobriety checkpoint at the Hanover-Henrico county line on U.S. 360.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
RPM Version: hylafax-4.0pl2-3rh5 OS: Redhat Linux 5.1 Kernel: 2.1.122 Modem: Multitech MT2834ZPXb Hi everybody, We are trying to get started with Hylafax and I was able to get the Multitech modem to send a simple text fax with no problem. We are having corrupted output, however, when we try to send a Postscript fax -- in particular the raster images below come out compressed from letter sized to about 1.5 vertical inches. The cover page shows the first inch of "Silicon Graphics" and then the remainder appears corrupted. I've run these same Postscript images through ps2fax and viewed the image with Imagemagick, and the resulting images look fine. I've also tried several different fax machines on the recipient side. Any suggestions what I might try next, or why the Postscript isn't being send properly?

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, May 9, 2013
APPLING, Ga. (WRDW) -- It was a nightmare that turned into an answered prayer for retired teacher Ann Gay.
"It just makes me believe in people all over again, and I had reached the point where I didn't," Gay said.
It all started with a News 12 story.
"I saw the newscast, and it just broke my heart," Tony King said.
King is a former electrician who has worked for most of the big utility companies. As soon as he saw the story, he knew he wanted to help.
"With her on a limited income, I decided to contact Channel 12 and offer my services free of charge to her. I have the time, I have the ability. For somebody to just turn their head and walk away, I can't do that," he said.
So he spent his day walking around Gay's house checking out appliances and voltage, helping repair and replace what was lost.
"Yeah there's no voltage in here. I would have to say it fried it," King said as he closed her oven.
Other viewers stepped in and donated a TV.
"I think it's utterly amazing the way people come forward to help someone. It has really done my heart so much good," Gay said.
But electricity and appliances weren't the only thing she lost in the surge. Her spirit took a hit, too.
"I went to bed and stayed for a week I was so depressed," she said.
Seeing the community come together has helped restore not only her home, but also her heart.
"It's hard, but this really has restored my faith in mankind," Gay said.
While King's generosity started with checking her wiring for free, he's given her something money can't buy.
"Peace of mind. Rest assured when I leave, that's what she's gonna have," he said.
"Just thank you to everyone for all the help and especially to Channel 12," Gay said.
The electrician says all her wiring looks good, which means many of her appliances will be able to be repaired.
The outpouring of support continues. News 12 received a call on Thursday from a local appliance store that wants to donate an oven to her.

Rondino on a Theme by Beethoven (Kreisler, Fritz)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

State Legislature
4:46 pm
Fri April 26, 2013
Deal on state transportation budget reached
State lawmakers have reached an apparent deal on a transportation budget.
The state House is expected to vote on the compromise $8.8 billion budget over the weekend, with the Senate likely to follow suit before the regular session ends on Sunday.
The two sides' budget plans were relatively close to begin with. The compromise budget takes the Senate position of assuming higher toll revenues generated by the Alaskan Way Viaduct Tunnel project. It also comes closer to the Senate's position of insisting that the Legislature have more say in which highway preservation projects are funded by additional federal dollars or cost savings elsewhere.
The deal leaves unresolved the more contentious question of a transportation revenue package that would augment the budget.

Minor earthquake recorded in Maine
Minor earthquake recorded in Maine
BELFAST, Maine (AP) — A minor earthquake was reported near the coastal city of Belfast.
It was the second quake in the Pine Tree State in as many months.
Boston University's Weston Observatory said Friday night's quake, which had a magnitude of 2.1, was centered about 10 miles west of Belfast in Waldo County.
Maine Emergency Management Agency duty officer Bill DeLong said the quake, which was recorded at about 11 p.m., was not strong enough to cause damage and could not be detected by people, unless they were very close to it. DeLong said his agency received no reports from police or the public about the quake.
Maine experienced a larger quake last month after a 4.0-magnitude earthquake, centered just west of Hollis Center, shook the southern part of the state and could be felt throughout the Northeast.

PORTSMOUTH — An undercover surveillance operation at The Page Restaurant and Bar last weekend "yielded evidence of employees consuming alcohol while working, consuming alcohol in areas not approved for service, over-service of alcohol, and failing to maintain an orderly premise at all times," according to the state Liquor Commission's Division of Enforcement.
In a statement released by the commission on Wednesday, the police surveillance was conducted Aug. 3 and Aug. 4 by Liquor Enforcement and Portsmouth Police Department officers.
"The joint enforcement effort was in response to reports of multiple liquor and criminal law violations that have occurred over the last several weeks regarding over-service of alcohol, overcrowding, violent behavior and disorderly conduct," the commission said.
Portsmouth Police Capt. Mike Schwartz said Wednesday that local police were contacted by Liquor Enforcement officials "based on what they were reading in the newspapers." Recent Portsmouth Herald reports have included stories about violent behavior and related injuries in the area of the Hanover Street bar.
"There's a community standard we try to maintain in the downtown, and we don't want Portsmouth to take on a honky-tonk atmosphere," Schwartz said. "Clearly, the Liquor Enforcement action shows there's some improvement that needs to be made."
The Page will be cited for unspecified "administrative violations," according to the commission. In addition, three minors who tried to gain entry into the bar using false identification are being charged criminally, police said.
The minors were identified as Lily Jackson, 19, of Exeter; Kyle Mullaney, 19, of Durham; and Tyler Jankins, 20, of Hampton. All three were released on personal recognizance bail and are scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 1 in the Portsmouth Circuit Court, Schwartz said.
Schwartz said Portsmouth officers took a man into protective custody for acting disorderly after being escorted from the bar for being intoxicated during the weekend surveillance effort.
In a joint statement, the Liquor Commission's Division of Enforcement and Portsmouth Police said they would "continue to be committed to the reduction of incidents involving unsafe and irresponsible service of alcohol."
"We try to keep all the establishments to a certain standard," Schwartz said.

DEALER EXPO, Indianapolis, Ind. - Stop by booth 5429 to check out NADAguides Powersports CONNECT, a digital solution that dealers can use to help determine values accurately and efficiently, the company says.
The tool lets NADAguides provide six vehicle pricing and information updates per year, a service that also helps credit unions, banks and insurance professionals with vehicle pricing. This is twice the number of Guide Books that are published, said Don Christy Jr., president and CEO of NADAguides.
Accessible at anytime, the tool provides a complete spectrum of data and services, including suggested retail cost, dealer cost, used wholesale values and used retail values. Powersports CONNECT also allows dealers the ability to create custom hang tags with dealer add-ons and a dealer logo, as well as inventory management features that allows them to print itemized value reports.

During a recent project, I was tasked with providing high availability for VMware vCenter Server 4.0 using Microsoft Windows 2008 Failover Clustering. Putting aside the fact that the VMware best practice dictates using vCenter Server Heartbeat AND the fact that I am not as familiar with Windows 2008 Failover Clustering, I began to scour the Interwebs for some how to articles.
What I found were several great resources for using Microsoft Cluster Services in vSphere, Windows 2008 Failover Clustering, and clustering vCenter Server 4 with Windows 2003 Cluster Services. What I did not find was anything on using Windows 2008 Failover Clustering and vCenter 4. Hence this post: Providing HA for vCenter 4.0 with Windows 2008 Failover Clustering.
This article is a high level how-to on creating and configuring an HA cluster. In the works is a more detailed version of this post in PDF format. I am in the process of updating the screen grabs and will publish very soon.
Note: If you intend to use Linked Mode, be aware the this configuration is not supported.
This article assumes you are looking to cluster two Windows Server 2008 virtual machines using the Failover Clustering feature in Windows 2008 and install vCenter Server 4.0 on both nodes (active/passive configuration) to provide high-availability. It is also assumed that the vCenter instance will connect to a remote SQL 2008 database which is not installed on this cluster instance. So let's begin.
Getting Started
In this example, I will review at a high level the steps required to create a Windows 2008 Failover Cluster on a pair of virtual machines running on VMware vSphere 4.0.
My config:
- 2 x ESX 4.0 Update 1a servers fully configured (Service Console, VMKernel, VM Networks, shared storage)
- 1 x Microsoft SQL Server 2008 for vCenter database and VUM database
- 2 x Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition 64bit virtual machines at VM Hardware version 7 configured as follows:
- 2 vCPU
- 80GB Hard Disk connected to LSI Logic Parallel controller (SCSI Controller 0:1)
- 2 x VMXNET3 adapters (one public, one private)
- 2 x RDM Hard Disks connected to LSI Logic SAS controller in Physical Mode (SCSI Controller 1:0 & 1:1)
- 1GB quorum (Drive Q:)
- 20GB Data repository for VUM (Drive U:)
- A fully working implementation of DNS and Active Directory
- Domain Admin accounts (for creating the cluster)
I'm going to skip the cluster creation process as it is pretty straight forward and is well documented on Technet.
Installing vCenter
Here is where the fun begins! Assuming the cluster creation went without error and the failover process works, we can begin the installation of vCenter server on the owner of the cluster (most likely Node A). Before you begin the installation, verify the following:
- Databases for vCenter Server and VMware Update Manager exists on the existing SQL server
- Install the latest SQL Server 2008 Native Client on each node
- 32bit Data Source Name (DSN) resources are created for vCenter and VMware Update Manager
- SQL sa account and password are available
To create the DSN on a 64bit version of Windows, run the following command: C:WINDOWSSysWow64odbcad32.exe. The default ODBC tool under Administrative Tools creates a 64bit DSN which is not compatible with vCenter Server 4.0.
Continue with the vCenter Server installation on the first node. Choose the default installation location. Install vCenter on the second node and when prompted, select Do not overwrite, leave my existing database in place.
Once the installs are complete, copy the SSL certs from the first node to the second node. Since you never know when Murphy will show up, create a backup copy of the second node's SSL certs before you overwrite them.
Configuring Cluster Services
After vCenter is installed on both nodes, you will need to configure the cluster for the vCenter services. Launch the Failover Cluster Management tool and create an empty service or application and name it VMware vCenter Server. Add the following generic services to this new container:
- VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices
- VMware Virtual Center Server
Before bringing the resources online, you first need to modify vCenter's Runtime settings to reflect the new Management IP (cluster IP) and the vCenter Server Name (cluster name).
In the clustering vSphere guide, it mentions to export the registry for the primary vCenter server and import it to the secondary vCenter server. After the settings change, bring the cluster resources online and attempt a failover. All should work without any issue.
Test Failover
Test the failover process to verify each node can host the resources. If you are logged into vCenter with the vSphere Client, you may need to log back in as your session will drop.
The full detailed PDF version of this configuration will be available for download soon. The doc will provide detailed steps on the following topics:
- Creating and configuring a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 virtual machine cluster for use with vCenter and VMware Update Manager
- Clustering vCenter 4.0
- Clustering VMware Update Manager
