Is there any solution for multiple deployment to different dataPower appliances?
We have four of datapower appliances ( X150 and X152 ). We want import packages all these appliances with one deployment . ( Like a cluster deployment )
Thanks.
Yes, that can be done using any scripting tool you like and the SOMA interface. I know of many using Ant scripts for it. As you have the old XI50's you can't use RMI (REST) interface as that is not supported for XI50 and firmware 6.
You should be careful though if you have different firmwares on the old XI50 and XI52's (and obviously look into replacing the XI50's as they are out-of-support since 2014)!
Have a look at the (open source) appliance-management-center as well at https://github.com/ibm-datapower/appliance-management-center which can handle deploys.
This was previously sold by IBM as the WebSphere Appliance Management Center (WAMC).
You can use ANT and SOMA Management. Or maybe you can try Continuous Integration with Jenkins or Urban Code Deploy.

I'm looking into using the new Realm Mobile Platform for a project of mine. I've gone through the guides and was able to get it up and running locally no problem. My question is, what's the best way to deploy the Realm Object Server so it can be run remotely? I read through the guide found here but didn't really understand it. I only have minimal experience deploying a rails app to heroku. How can I get it deployed to Heroku or a similar service? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
It's hard to tell you what the "best" way is. There are always drawbacks and benefits to any setup, and everyone has different goals and objectives, so I don't think there is an objective "best way to run it," as you say.
The Realm Object Server doesn't support Heroku for the time being (or at least, no easy one-click-install integration). We know that this is something that people want, so it's on our radar, but I can't give you a definite answer as to when or even if we will do this one day.
The way most people run the Object Server is by running a virtual machine, and running the service inside of that. There are multiple ways to achieve this: start a virtual machine with your favourite cloud provider, and then install the Realm Object Server on top of that. Alternatively, Realm also provides an AMI image, which is Amazon lingo for "a pre-configured virtual machine image," that contains the Object Server pre-installed, and allows you to run your Object Server at the click of a button.
Please bear in mind that Realm Object Server is currently packaged for RHEL/CentOS 6 & 7, and Ubuntu 16.04.
Here are some links that should help you get started:
A basic tutorial on how to setup Ubuntu 16.04 on Digital Ocean
AWS' documentation on launching an EC2 instance from an AMI
Try this image to run realm-objserct server on openshift online.
https://hub.docker.com/r/viksgyl/realm-object-server/
I wanted to launch an instance with high availability with out having risk factor i.e, an instance will be launched in multiple regions(zones) that to sync the state like database(master-slave). When some applications got installed, same should reflect in another region/zone also(mostly image format). Can we do that?.
I have checked some links based on this. I got a confusion after reading all the docs.

Exactly what is the difference among. VM replication & syncing is possiblein Openstack?
To the best of my knowledge, Open Stack does not support VM replication for now.
There is a component called Remus under the Xen project, which could potentially used by manual configuration as Open Stack supports Xen (https://www.xenproject.org/directory/directory/projects/70-remus.html). But it seems to be slow and unstable.
The newest approach is called reversed virtual machine replication (http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2996894&CFID=918229768&CFTOKEN=85577813), this one seems to be very interesting and some critical problems in VM replication is well defined and elegantly solved. However, I did not find the open source project for it.
I have some questions:
Is it possible to install openstack on a Notebook with a 4GB DD3 Ram? Because the website says it needs atleast 8GB of RAM.
They say it requirs a double-QuadCore , I assue that means Octacore. Can we install that on a Quadcore?
They say that there is no possibility to install it on a NAS . Did you find any where if there is a possibility to do?. I dint find any even after asking our friend(google).
All in all, is it at-all possible to install on it a notebook/Desktop?
That advice is for production environments,
so 1)If you just want to play around your notebook will do fine. I had a succesful test-run on a 1.2 Ghz 1GB Netbook. It became incredibly slow when it launched it's first instance...
With a Double Quadcore they actually mean two seperate Quad-cores, as in two quad-core xeon processors on a single motherboard
So 2) yes you can install it on a quad-core.
3) a NAS device running openstack an openstack storage service seems to be unlikely indeed. You will most likely need more computing power.However If your NAS supports NFS or SSH or sth you can probably mount this drive and use it for storage.
4) You can perfectly build a all-in-one openstack test setup on your notebook. Performance will be low, but acceptable for testing.
It depends on what you mean by "install OpenStack". OpenStack itself is an extremely modular framework consisting on many services (Compute, Networking, Image service, Block Storage, Object Storage, Orchestration, Telemetry, ...). On top of that, a typical production deployment of OpenStack also requires several components, like load balancers, caching systems, firewalls, web servers and others. It is definitely possible to install a minimal openstack system, even on an average laptop.
The simplest way to run OpenStack on a laptop/desktop is to use Devstack, a shell script that installs all services from source and run them (by default) on a single machine. It is customizable enough to provide very good testing ground; it's used by OpenStack developers as well as the OpenStack QA team to test latest developments against "real" systems.
To avoid messing up your system, it's generally recommended to install OpenStack in a VM. From devstack doc:
DevStack should run in any virtual machine running a supported Linux release. It will perform best with 2Gb or more of RAM.
As of the time of this writing (Jan 2015), supported distros are:
Ubuntu (latest LTS)
Fedora
CentOS
Regarding NAS: you can of course use it, but "outside" Openstack apis, by providing mount points to your vms. It's even mandatory if you want to support live migration.
Ok.. I have looked through this site and just can't seem to find the answer I am looking for.
We have a multi server setup for our web sites, typically (DEV/QA/PRODUCTION). Our sites are .net which require some sort of build before being deployed. We are using SVN for source control and are looking for a tool/website/something that will allow our project managers to push button deploy changes to the different environments. It seems there is no silver bullet for this, am I correct in this assumption?
I like the functionality of Springloops but can't find any information regarding its use with .net. Sparing details, it would be nice to see a diagram of sorts on the whole end to end process. What I mean by that is, if multiple different tools are the only answer (no silver bullet), then a diagram that shows where the tools sit in relation to the whole process.
Look at CruiseControl.Net. It'll let you automate your builds and if there are errors it can notify certain people and even flash a big red light in the office.
The other thing it can do is automatically deploy to a chosen region such as Dev/Test/Stage/Prod when there are no errors.
Though you may want to make Prod a manual press of a button. :)
The new on click publishing features in Visual Studio 2010 are pretty easy to set up ans use: http://vishaljoshi.blogspot.com/2009/05/web-1-click-publish-with-vs-2010.html
Supports configuring IIS and deploying SQL packages too.
There is a msdeploy.exe file included in the that you could setup to run with .bat files or some configurable script runner.
Try ClickOnce deployment. Once a update is deployed on the server the client applications are automatically get updated on every client on their next run.
We are in the process of implementing automated regression testing for our applications, and are looking for a solid batch-testing utility. We have QuickTest Professional 10.0, and it comes bundled with 'Test Batch Runner' which appears to be deprecated. It appears in previous versions there was 'Multi-Test Manager', which has been discontinued as well.
What alternatives exist, if any?
The canonical way to do this is via Quality Center, if you don't have QC you can use QTP's automation model from a vbs file. The documentation for this is available in Start -> Programs -> QuickTest Professional -> Documentation -> Automation Object Model Reference
QTP 10 works excellent with Multi Test Manager V8.2.4.
We use it for our project (previously used it with QTP 9.2).
Try google for an installation (of you don't have one), it should be free but just not supported by HP anymore.
From WinRunner times I very extensively used Test Driver scripts with great success due to the following benefits:
non-programming testers can easily create/maintain batches as their stored in XML format
test input files are externally configurable through mapping
a variety of customization parameters supported, from login credentials to prefixes and switches
test dependencies could be established so that if critical test cases is failed the whole branch of dependant test cases is skipped.
Now I continue using Test Drivers and introducing them to clients.
And Test Driver approach was integrated not only by the client companies that do not use Quality Center. Some others followed it because it gives much more flexibility and robustness in automated test plan execution.
