I'd prefer he never left Nashville. Will be very interesting to see how he handles Ovechkin.

The only thing worse for Ovi would be Hitchcock taking the reigns.

Duquesne Women Denied First Trip to NCAA Tournament
Updated On: Mar 18 2013 10:06:25 PM EDT
Duquesne's womens basketball team has never reached the NCAA tournament and now they experienced their first serious post-season snub. Head Coach Suzie McConnell-Serio's team watched from the Palumbo Center as their names were not called during the NCAA Womens Selection Show.
All week, predictions had the Dukes making the field, but close losses down the stretch left them hoping for an at-large bid out of the Atlantic Ten. The Dukes felt their RPI of 36 would be enough to get them into the field. Instead, Duquesne was the only team in the RPI top 40 not invited to the NCAA Tournament.
Later, Duquesne did receive an invite to the Womens National Invitational Tournament. Its the Dukes 5th straight trip to the WNIT.

While we wait for the brand-new season to arrive, we jealously gaze across the pond at the select fans and journalists who caught a first look at "Asylum of the Daleks," Doctor Who's season opener, at the British Film Institute's premiere screening in London last night (August 14). The first (spoiler-free) reviews of the episode have been quite splendid.
The Daily Telegraph writes, "The fiendishly clever script is packed with [Steven] Moffat's trademark dazzling wordplay and several guffaw-out-loud gags, while there are two scenes that will have viewers sniffling on their sofas. Best of all, the story makes the Doctor's pepperpotty arch enemies truly scary again and contains several killer twists."
Den of Geek adds, "The sum total of all of this is a really, really good slice of Saturday night fun, that puts a good Dalek story at the heart of an episode that's impressive for reasons beyond its foes. It's frequently funny – Moffat hasn't lost his touch with excellent one-liners – and emotionally involving too. It also takes the Daleks to some quite dark places, with a fresh, unpleasant edge. And, as with many of Moffat's episodes, it'll ignite the Internet within seconds of it finishing."
The Guardian promises that "Asylum" is "worth the wait," and SFX's Nick Setchfield tweeted that he was "utterly blown away by 'Asylum Of The Daleks.' Strongest season opener yet. Epic, heart-punching, hilarious… and sneaky."
Meanwhile, at last night's event, Steven Moffat revealed titles for the first five episodes, which are as follows:
1 – Asylum of the Daleks (by Steven Moffat)
2 – Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (by Chris Chibnall)
3 – A Town Called Mercy (by Toby Whithouse)
4 – The Power of Three (by Chris Chibnall)
5 – The Angels Take Manhattan (by Steven Moffat)

Dorm rooms are full of boxes and containers at UMD, as the freshman class has moved in.
"It was fun organizing my room, and decorating. I'm really excited," said Jamie Persinger, from Zimmerman.
Luke Asfeld was it was a little stressful, but once he got his stuff in his room, he felt more at home. "I'm looking forward to meeting new people and expanding my horizons," he said.
And even though Dan Read left his wallet at home in Minneapolis, he still got checked in ok.
"I have mixed emotions. I'm excited, but it's weird not going to my high school anymore," he said.
And he had some help moving in, from Abby Berg and Alyssa Tate, upperclassmen who signed up to be coordinators for welcome week.
"I was in their shoes a year ago, and look at me now, I'm a helper!" Berg said.
We asked what their advice would be for the incoming freshmen. Tate told us, "Get involved this weekend. It's where you'll make many friends. Get out of your comfort zone."
2200 students are in the freshmen class at UMD this fall. That's up 7% from last year, according to Chancellor Dr. Lynn Black. He said there are also significantly more students of color, who will be new to UMD this year.
Black will be addressing the class at a convocation at 3:30pm on Friday.
UMD Police Chief Scott Drewlo said it was all hands on deck for move-in day. They work collaboratively with the Duluth Police Department, to handle situations on campus.
"We want to welcome students to UMD. They should enjoy it responsibly. And they should know that we will be on the lookout for illegal activities," Drewlo said. "We try and find ways to intervene in small problems before they become bigger problems."
Duluth Police told us they stopped at a couple of parties going on in the morning, but said that they hadn't had any major problems.

Own a drone? Here's where you can fly it
Send this to a friend
- Staff Washington Business Journal
If you own a drone, you need to know where you can and cannot fly it.
D.C.-based startup Mapbox rolled out a map showing all the areas in Greater Washington (and beyond) where private drone flight is illegal because of its proximity to airports, military installations and national parks, according to In The Capital. You can take a look at the map here.
While commercial drone use is strictly prohibited, non-profit and personal use is still (kind of) permitted while the Federal Aeronautics Administration works on how it wants to regulate it.
Founded in 2010, Mapbox's mission is to give developers the power to create maps that better embody their products.

Cumbria police urge online safety after parents chat site fears
Published at 10:35, Friday, 11 July 2014
CUMBRIA police have urged parents to pay attention to what their children are up to online.
The online safety drive has been issued as police have received reports of 'Omegle'.
Omegle is a free online chat website that allows users to communicate with strangers without registering.
Detective Sergeant Jim Rooney said: "It is important that parents take a keen interest in what their children are viewing and accessing online. We work with local schools to directly warn children of the dangers that they are placing themselves in accessing certain websites.
"Some of the key issues we address cover things like the importance of privacy settings, and how once something is uploaded, or sent via the internet, you have lost control of it forever.
"However, it is vital parents that must be aware of who their child is communicating with online.
"It is just as important to protect your child in the 'online' world as it is in the 'real' world. Most parents wouldn't let their child physically spend the night talking to a complete stranger, but that is exactly what is happening online."
Police officers across the county regularly visit schools to teach children and young people about online safety.
Click here for a short film of PC Keith Hunton giving a talk on online safety to pupils at Whitehaven School: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfmSPb3yyXU&feature=youtu.be
Top tips for parents include:
- Stay up-to-date. Ask about your child's new gadgets, apps and websites – it is important to be aware of new technologies and developments that your child may be using
- Set boundaries. Treat the online world as you would the 'real' world – consider what or who they may see, share and communicate with, as well as how long they spend online
- Know what connects to the internet and how. Today many technologies connect to the internet – including TVs and games consoles. Check how they are accessing the internet – if it is through a neighbour's WiFi, your security settings may not be applied.
For more information about staying safe online please visit www.cumbria.police.uk/onlinesafety.

QB Austin Davis - St. Louis Rams
|6-2, 221
|Born: 6-2-1989
|College: Southern Mississippi
|Drafted: ---
Main Career stats Game Logs Game Recaps Split Stats Play-by-play Latest News
Week 9: at San Francisco 49ers
Mark and Joe say: Tough matchup. Austin Davis threw 21/42 for 236 yards, one TD and one interception vs. San Francisco three weeks ago, and took five sacks for -20 yards. Since then, he's lost promising wideout Brian Quick and starting LT Jake Long for the season. Given he took five sacks with Long in the saddle three weeks ago, this matchup looks grim for Davis. He was rocked for seven sacks and -44 yards at Kansas City last week, and travels to San Francisco for this game. 15/25 for 160 yards, one TD and one interception were his totals at Kansas City last week. Kenny Britt (five targets for 2/52/0 receiving) and Stedman Bailey (three for 2/33/0) were Davis top receivers last week - Lance Kendricks handled the score with one target for 1/1/1. Yawn. The 49ers have allowed an average of 221.1 net passing yards per game this year (eighth in the NFL), with 13 passing scores offset by seven interceptions (tied for 13th in the NFL), and 12 sacks generated to date (23rd in the NFL). Last time around the block, Peyton Manning blasted this group for 22/26 yielding 318 net yards, four TDs and zero interceptions - but Austin Davis is no Peyton Manning. Advantage, San Francisco.

Recent Game Summaries
2014 Week 6 vs SF (21 / 42 / 236 / 1 / 1 pass, 1 / -1 / 0 rush)
Davis started the game hot. He led the Rams on two scoring drives to begin the game. On his first drive, he hit Cook over the middle on a slant and Cook ran for 42 yards. On the third drive, Davis ran a nice play-fake and hit a wide open Lance Kendricks in stride for a 22 yard TD to give the Rams a 14-0 lead. Late in the half, Davis led the Rams on a drive that will prove to be the turning point of the game. Davis hit Britt on a deep comeback for a first, then threw a ball to Cook on a shallow cross. Cook made some very impressive cuts after the catch, but was called for a ridiculous offensive pass interference penalty that ended the drive and completely swung the momentum. In the first half, Davis looked calm and collect. He stepped up in the pocket, avoided the rush, made plays, and had faith in his targets. In the second half, everything turned around. As the 49ers made their move on the offensive side of the ball, they tightened up on defense. Davis looked quite shaky in the second half. The strategy of just throwing the ball up and giving his WR's a chance, didn't work against San Fran. He threw an out pattern that was almost intercepted on the left side. Then he threw a jump ball to Pettis, who tipped it in the air and watched as it was almost intercepted. On his next possession he avoided pressure, threw the ball deep downfield a few times, and wasn't close to completing anything. In fact, he failed to complete a single pass in the second half until 4:15 in the fourth quarter. On a late 4th quarter drive, he did lead the Rams downfield for a field goal, but he completely overthrew Jared Cook on a play that would have possibly given the Rams a touchdown. Then on his own ten with a minute left, Davis threw a pick 6 as he tried to force things across the middle to Britt that ended the game. It was one of many really bad second half throws, and it clinched the win for San Fran. Overall, Davis did some things early that you have to like. He showed nice first-half poise. But that poise crumbled in the second half as the pressure of both the SF line and of trailing in the game got to Davis. He was simply unable to make anything positive after the adversity of a bad first-half call swung the momentum. Late in the game he completed a few passes, but also threw another near INT. Davis has to learn to see the entire field and throw to the open guy. It's one thing to let your guys make plays, but throwing inaccurate passes under pressure to guys that are double-teamed is going to work out poorly most of the time. You have to remember that he's a young QB and could still improve. The problems in this game came when San Fran dialed up the pressure. San Fran is also a very good and veteran defense that troubles a lot of good QBs. Unfortunately for Davis, it doesn't get any easier next week against Seattle.
2014 Week 7 vs SEA (18 / 21 / 152 / 2 / 0 pass, 2 / -2 / 0 rush)
After an awful second half against the 49ers, it was widely assumed that the Seahawks would pick up where the 49ers left off and continue harassing Davis into int's and mistakes. The Rams leaned on their run game to start the game, and thanks to solid running and a big kickoff return, got an early TD. On the next possession, Davis hit Quick over the middle, drew a pass interference call on a deep ball to Quick, and then threw a nifty shovel pass to Cunningham for a TD. After that, Davis really didn't get a lot of opportunities for the rest of the half. In fact, over a long stretch from the middle of the 2nd quarter until the end of the 3rd quarter, he only attempted 2 passes. With 4 minutes in the 3rd, Davis led the Rams on a solid drive that flipped field position, burnt clock and forced a punt. But Seattle continued to press. With 9:44 left, Davis got the ball deep in his own territory clinging to a 2 point lead. Austin Davis did a superb job on this crucial drive, hitting Quick on a deep 19-yard comeback. Seattle was after him, but he continued to escape the pocket and make big plays. He moved to his left, kept his eyes downfield, and hit Kendricks for 13 yards. He avoided a few sacks on this drive, and then hit Givens slanting across the middle and toward the sideline for a 30 yard gain. Then he capped it off with a TD across the middle to Kendricks to put the Rams back on top. On the Rams final drive, they really needed to hold the ball and get a first. Davis started well, by avoiding a sack, rolling right, spinning and then improvising on a toss to Cook that got the Rams close to a first. Overall, Davis played mistake-free football against a great defense. He looked very poised in this game, showing no fear and not forcing things. The gameplan was heavily slanted towards the run, but Davis was extremely accurate, going 18 for 21. Yes, he didn't put up big numbers, but he kept the chains moving, and made huge plays when he needed to. In previous weeks, Davis had begun to get into the habit of throwing the ball up for grabs to his big receivers. This was not part of the gameplan against Seattle. Davis took what the defense gave him and continued to find the open man wherever he was. When Seattle pressured him, he got out of the pocket, continued to keep his eyes downfield, and threw it to guys that were open. With two tough defenses out of the way, it will be interesting to see how Austin Davis progresses in upcoming weeks as the schedule gets a bit easier.
2014 Week 8 vs KC (15 / 25 / 160 / 1 / 1 pass, 1 / 1 / 0 rush)
The Rams came out of the gate charging, and Davis picked up where he left off last week by leading the Rams on a TD drive on the first series. Davis avoided pressure and threw a perfect deep ball to Kenny Britt for 43 yards. On the goalline, Davis scrambled to the right, threw across his body and hit Lance Kendricks for a one-yard TD and the Rams were off and running. The Chiefs must have realized after that first possession that they could get to Davis, because they continued bringing the heat and attacking Davis. The fairytale beginning turned into a nightmare on the next drive. Davis threw an ill-advised deep ball into double coverage and it was intercepted. Davis was sacked 7 times, and the pressure caused him to become extremely inaccurate on his throws. After the first drive, the Rams didn't have a significant drive again until the end of the 4th quarter when they were down 34-7 and the game was over. Even that drive, however, ended in a sack, which epitomized the entire game for St. Louis. To make matters worse, Davis lost his LT, Jake Long for the year with an ACL injury late in the third quarter. It was that kind of day for Davis and the offense. There aren't many positives in this one, but we've seen Davis have this kind of performance before, in the second half of the 49ers game. He came out of that one ok, but one of two things has to happen for Davis to be successful in future weeks. Either the line needs to do a better job of pass protecting, or they need to move to shorter, quicker hitting routes. Because the long-developing pass plays that they've been running over the past few weeks are getting Davis killed back there.
Latest NewsRams | Brett Favre endorses Austin Davis (Wed Oct 22, 01:13 PM) - St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis was 18-for-21 for 152 yards in the team's Week 7 win over the Seattle Seahawks, and former QB Brett Favre thinks Davis could be special in the league. 'Not to sound off my rocker, but (Davis) -- in my mind -- can be the next Tom Brady or Kurt Warner. (Brian) Hoyer as well,' Favre said. Davis' 86 percent completion rate against the Seahawks was the highest accuracy mark against a defending Super Bowl champion (minimum of 20 passes). It was also the second highest completion percentage against the Seahawks. Our View: Of course he does! Those Southern Mississippi quarterbacks have to stick up for each other! Davis broke alot of Favre's records from college, and he's taken that gunslinger style to the pros. The young quarterback has gone through some bumps this year, and he's nothing more than a desperation addition for fantasy owners.

"The contractors are putting in 10-hour days," says Maraist, "and for the rest of us, it's a lot, from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed."
A dozen workers — electricians, plumbers, carpenters — dart around the club, pulling wires and cutting wood. Two men are building the bar's liquor cabinets, and two others are installing the new padded backdrop that spans the length of the 40-foot stage and reaches up to the rafters. The bathrooms have been completely rebuilt. Two 12-ton air conditioning units have been reconditioned and are blowing cold air onto the stage, and another 10-ton unit air conditioning will be installed in two days. The first-rate sound equipment is en route from Loud Technologies in Washington and will be on site within three days. The massive covered porch stretching across the outside of the building is complete. The purchase price and renovations are estimated at $600,000, and every inch of the club, all of its notorious unused nooks, have been remodeled to maximize its space.
When Grant Street reopens its doors Thursday, it'll feel like a step back in time to the club's original opening night on the same holiday back in 1980. Red Beans & Rice Revue opens up the evening, followed by Sonny Landreth with special guests C.J. Chenier, Steve Conn and Mel Melton. Friday night, rock 'n' roll pioneer Jerry Lee Lewis takes the stage. Saturday night offers the Southern eccentricities of pianist Bobby Lounge, and The Fabulous Boogie Kings and G.G. Shinn wrap up the weekend on Sunday night.
There was a conscious effort to book Louisiana-centric bands for the opening weekend. "We wanted to center it around Louisiana music and giving back to the community and the local musicians they've supported through the years," says Maraist. "That's how I wanted to come out with the opening weekend, but I don't think that's indicative of exactly what this place is going to be like. I would like to bring in bluegrass, rock, jazz, blues, — a lot of different music — and just have it be really good entertainment across the board no matter what the genre is."
The new owners hope lightning strikes twice in the same location that hosted musical legends like Ray Charles, Maceo Parker and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Through its Web site, www.grantstreetdancehall.com, the club is selling tickets for its re-opening weekend and other upcoming shows — Jimmie Vaughan, Lil' Band O' Gold, Eric Johnson, Doyle Bramhall, Bob Schneider, and Sons of William.
As a bonus for opening night, the Air Conditioned Lounge, an 1,800-square-foot room hidden from the public view behind the stage, will be open for business, long before its original anticipated opening by year's end. There are three other California clubs with the same name, owned by Wide Eyes Entertainment, Maraist's partners in Grant Street. The other clubs are self-contained, not a part of a larger venue like Grant Street. Air Conditioned will be open six days a week and feature live music and smaller shows throughout the week.
The lounge is just another feature to further the club's musical mission. "To me," Maraist says, "Grant Street has always been the place that hipped Lafayette to new music, whether it was Medeski, Martin & Wood or Los Lobos. No matter what the genre of music, there have been times in the history of Grant Street when you knew you could just show up and you would see a good show no matter what type of music."
For now, the only sound is buzzing saws, and Maraist is surrounded by floating sawdust and the smell of freshly cut wood. With all that's left to do, will Maraist and his crew make the looming deadline for the grand re-opening? "Absolutely," he says.
For tickets, call (800) 594-8499 or visit www.grantstreetdancehall.com. For more info, call 237-8513.

OCT 22 This entertaining short (15 minutes) film on Munchies is all about Boudin.

With the release of Lync 2013 the story of high availability has changed significantly. Since these changes contain some new technologies I think it would be best to break this article out into multiple parts. For this first part, we will discuss the Architecture and that will be followed by the end user experience. There is a lot to discuss so let's get started.
Windows Fabric
One of the major changes is how Lync provides highly available services with a pool. In Lync 2010 this responsibility was handled by Cluster Manager. With Lync 2013 we now leverage the Windows Fabric to provide high availability to these services. The Windows Fabric services allows Lync to increase our scale for both On-Premise and Online deployments. Windows Fabric will handle the following:
- Election of Primary, Secondary, and Backup Secondary replica
- Failover Management including Fast Failover with full service
- Replication between primary and secondary replicas
- Manages and Monitors which servers are functional and participating in pool operations
- Services for MCU Factory, Conference Directory, Routing Group, LYSS
- Load Balancing within a pool
Data Replication within the Pool
- Persistent User Data – synchronous replication to all replicas
- Presence, Contacts and Groups, and User Voice settings
- Minimal Conference data including the Active Conference Roster and MCUs
- Transient User Data – not replicated across all replicas
- Presence changes due to user activity including Calendar, Inactivity, and Phone Calls.
The fabric will also lazily write this data to the backend end databases. Doing this lazily means when there are free cycles we will use them to replicate this data instead of impacting the server when its busy doing other replication to front ends. The backend data can be used for both rehydration of front end servers (restarts) and disaster recovery (pool failovers and failbacks).
The following ports must be opened between the Lync front end servers within a pool for the fabric replication process to be successful.
- Federation (TCP/5090) - Windows Fabric ring communication.
- Lease Agent (TCP/5091)
- Client Connection (TCP/5092) - These are not user clients but Lync Services that register to Windows Fabric.
- Runtime Service (TCP/5093)
- Replication (TCP/5094)
In order to function the Windows Fabric needs to achieve a status of Quorum. This means a certain number of servers (Voters) must be able to communicate with each other to ensure that the pool is capable of maintaining consistency (Quorum). There are 2 different pool states in which we must maintain\achieve quorum which differ in how many voters must be available.
- Cold Pool Startup\Quorum Lost – when a pool is first starting or after quorum has been lost, that pool must have roughly 85% of its servers available to achieve quorum1.
- Operating Pool – after a pool has been started we need at least 50% of the servers available to maintain quorum2.
1 This means that when defining a pool within topology builder only add the servers that will be deployed at that time, not in the future. If you put 6 servers in a pool within topology builder and only deploy 3, we will never achieve quorum because we don't have approximitley 85% of the servers operational. Thus, the front end services will never start.
2 If quorum is lost then all Front End services will be shutdown to protect the cluster from data loss.
To identify the Quorum voters a given servers Windows Fabric identifies check C:\ProgramData\Windows Fabric\Settings.xml. This file is updated when the Windows Fabric Host service starts up, thus any changes to pool members requires a service restart on all Front Ends in the pool, one at a time. The To-Do list in topology builder lets you know that after publishing the topology. If this isn't completed your servers will have a skewed view of the topology which could cause issues. Depending on the number of servers within the pool, this will dictate which voters are required.
- Even # Server Pool (Figure 1) – each server will have 1 vote and the SQL instance will have 1 vote. The SQL server will act as a tiebreaker.
- Odd #Server Pool (Figure 2) – each server will have 1 vote.
Figure 1: Even number of servers in Front End Pool
Figure 2: Odd number of servers in Front End pool
Routing Groups
When users are provisioned for Lync they are assigned to Routing groups. Each routing group will contain 3 replicas: primary, secondary, and backup secondary which together are called a replica set. User services for all users will be handled by their primary replica. All users in the same routing group will be homed on the primary replica. If the primary replica fails, all users in that Routing Group will failover to the same secondary replica.
Routing groups will get rebalanced when Front End servers are added or removed from the pool. If the primary replica goes down another will be promoted to primary. Depending on both user count and how the primary became unavailable will dictate when the Windows Fabric rebuilds another replica. The replica knows the pools user count and if it decides creating another replica is too expensive of an operation it might wait 15-30 minutes. Also, if the primary server was taken down gracefully for patching (stop-cswindowsservice –graceful), Windows Fabric might wait longer than if the server crashed or was just powered off. We don't have any control over how Windows Fabric handles these operations.
In regards to SBA and SBS as it pertains to routing groups each unit gets its OWN unique routing group (by design). Those would be in addition to the routing created for users homed on that pool. This means that if you have 3000 users on an SBS all of those users will have the same primary, secondary, and backup secondary replicas. The reason this is important is because this needs to be factored into a design when building out a highly available infrastructure that can support all Lync services.
Quorum Loss Recovery
If we lose all replicas within a routing group before Windows Fabric has a chance to rebuild more the replica set will go into quorum loss. When that routing group is in this type of quorum loss users will NOT be able to login. If 2 replicas are lost (1 remaining online) in a short period of time we will also go into quorum loss but users will be logged in with limited functionality mode (no contact list or presence but can still IM). The routing group will stay in that state until either the servers come back online or we manually run Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState with the QuorumLossRecovery option. Remember these scenarios will not affect all users but only the users that were a part of that routing group.
You can verify the routing groups are functioning correctly by running the Get-CsPoolFabricState command (Figure 3). If there are routing groups in QuorumLoss you will see services that reference "no primaries" (Figure 4).
Figure 3: Get-CsPoolFabricState healthy
Figure 4: Get-CsPoolFabricState with routing groups in QuorumLoss
In order to recover from quorum loss you will need to run the Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState cmdlet with a –ResetType of QuorumLossRecovery (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState QuorumLossRecovery
The Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState cmdlet has multiple parameters which can be used for various changes to the cluster.
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState –PoolFqdn <pool name fqdn> –ResetType {FullReset | QuorumLossRecovery | ServiceReset | MachineStateRemoved}
- FullReset1 - cluster changes, any modification either bringing a pool into or out of 1-2 server pool, and changes to upgrade domains. In addition, this parameter rebuilds the local Lync Server databases. This type of reset can be potentially long and resource-intensive.
- QuorumLossRecovery - Reloads user data from the backup store for any routing groups currently in quorum loss. (A quorum loss occurs when neither a database nor its replicas are available.) Data not yet written to the database could be lost when you do this type of reset.
- ServiceReset1 - The RtcSrv and fabricHostSvc services are stopped and restarted. A service reset will be performed if the ResetType is not specified.
- MachineStateRemoved - Removes the specified server from the pool. This type of reset should be used only when the server in question (or its databases) have been permanently lost.
1 Both the FullReset and ServiceReset will cause services to restart which will cause outages. This is why it's not a good idea to add front end servers to the pool during your production hours. When you add server it states you must restart front end services on all front ends in the pool.
To verify which replicas a user's data resides on we can run the Get-CsUserPoolInfo cmdlet (Figure 3). This is a useful command that will show us a ton of useful info about our registrars. If there aren't any servers listed then the users routing group might be in quorum loss.
Figure 6: Get-CsUserPoolInfo cmdlet
Upgrade Domains
Upgrade Domains are logical groupings of servers on which software maintenance such as upgrades and updates are performed at the same time. If you don't adhere to upgrade domain guidelines for server patching, you will impact routing groups and potentially the pool itself. A routing group will never have two of its three servers in a single upgrade domain.
Depending on how many Front End servers are in a pool when it's created will dictate how many servers will be in each upgrade domain. The algorithm used to generate the upgrade domains is implemented by Topology Builder and can be viewed in the tbxml file after creating the topology. It is not supported to manually edit the tbxml file and change the upgrade domains. In general creating more servers in the pool will result in more servers per upgrade domain. This why it is critical to plan out your front ends in the design phase instead of adding servers here and there. If servers have to be added due to growth then there is nothing that can be done to decrease the amount of upgrade domains windows fabric creates.
So how do we monitor these upgrade domains and incorporate them into our patch process? We can use the Get-CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState cmdlet to display this data (Figure 4). There are a couple different upgrade domain states we might see which are listed below and how to handle each one.
- Busy – wait 10 minutes and check again. The fabric might still be balancing services which can cause this to read busy
- Busy 3x or InsufficientActiveFrontEnds1– there might be an insufficient amount of active front end servers in the pool or something is wrong with pool\upgrade domain. If this is the case check out Event Viewer to see what issues are occurring on these servers.
- Ready – Drain (Stop-CsWindowsService), Patch, and then reboot the server
After you have rebooted the server, just wait a couple of minutes before running the Get-CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState cmdlet again to find out if the pool is ready to take another upgrade domain down. Remember you should only patch ONE upgrade domain at a time.
1 If your front end pool only has 1 servers you will always get InsufficientActiveFrontEnds. In this case you know there will be an outage so you can just patch and restart that server.
Figure 7: Get-CsPoolUpgradeReadinessState with expanded properties
Best Practices "Amount of Servers in Pool"
Our recommendation is to build pools with a minimum of 3 servers. Although we support 2 server pools there are considerations with this configuration which everyone should be aware of.
- The first issue is centered on how servers are rebooted and patched. If you following our best practice recommendation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412996.aspx) for patching it states both front end servers should be rebooted at the same time. If at any time both servers are taken offline at the same time you must bring them up in reverse order. In other works if you reboot server 1 then server 2 you must bring server 2 back up FIRST. The reason for this is because server 2 would be the last node to write quorum info to the backend and the cluster would not make quorum unless he was started first. If reverse order is not possible, use the Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState cmdlet with the QuorumLossRecovery parameter we discussed above.
- Also keep in mind the fact that you will only have 2 copies of your data (Primary and Secondary).
Troubleshooting Service Startup
- If a routing group is down, RtCSrv will not start. (32169 - Server startup is being delayed because fabric pool manager is initializing). Use Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState cmdlet with the QuorumLossRecovery parameter
- If a pool has gone down and stopped services, it requires 85% of servers to start back up.
SQL Queries
List Routings Group Names, Users in those groups, and the primary server for each routing group ordered by home server (Figure 5). This should be run against a front end server rtclocal sql instance dbo.Resource table.
Select FrontEnd.Fqdn, RoutingGroupAssignment.RoutingGroupName, Resource.UserAtHost
From ResourceDirectory
INNER JOIN Resource
ON ResourceDirectory.ResourceId=Resource.ResourceId
INNER JOIN RoutingGroupAssignment
ON ResourceDirectory.RoutingGroupId=RoutingGroupAssignment.RoutingGroupId
INNER JOIN FrontEnd
ON RoutingGroupAssignment.FrontEndId=FrontEnd.FrontEndId
ORDER BY FrontEnd.Fqdn
