64-bit Windows 2008 server host ESX3i

have a special service that is its own LAN being created.  Completely isolated from the rest of our VI3 infrastructure.   The Department has a host of Dell 32 bit and bought a 64-bit host.   They put on 64-bit host Windows 2008 Standard and that you want to install ESX3i on their 32-bit host because it has 16 GB of memory and the 600 GB drive.   They do not want to spend a lot of money, but it takes a business continuity solution.  Their idea is: use the 32-bit host as a host VMware ESX3i and clone the Windows Server 2008 64-bit as a VM on the 32-bit host ESX3i.  They will do it on a regular basis.  However, there is another idea which they are seized - to buy a license to protect Platespin and perform conversion to protect from the physical server 64-bit to host 32-bit ESX3i on a regular basis (am said that this is possible through PlateSpin).

Apart from the possibility of Platespin, the real question is: a 64-bit Windows 2008 host can be cloned as a virtual machine to a 32-bit host ESX3i?  If so, this may be a solution for them.

ESXi can be installed on a x 32 hardware host little but if you need to virtualize x 64 virtual clients, then your material must be x 64 bit compatible.  I'm curious to know if this Platespin product would mask the x 64 requirements that would be cool.  You have to confirm with Platespin sales about your situation before that you want to allow?

    Hi all, I have a problem with the creation of a 10 g 2 64 bit Windows 2008 ODBC connection to sql server 2005 Windows 2003 32-bit

    1. I create a listener.ora following the 1521 port is for oracle DB and the 1522 is for sql server
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (= Extproc PROGRAM)
    )
    )

    (SID_NAME = hsodbc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
    (PROGRAM = hsodbc)
    )
    )

    HSODBC_LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP (PORT = 1522))(HOST = localhost))
    )
    )

    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost) (PORT = 1521))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = CIP)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    )
    )

    2. my tnsnames.ora resembles

    PRUEBA =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
    )

    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp (PORT = 1522))(HOST=localhost))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = HSODBC))
    (HS = OK)
    )

    3. I created an inithsodbc.ora like that
    HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = hsodbc
    HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0

    4. I have also set up the dns system and successfully tested.

    5. my link of database look like
    CREATE public DATABASE LINK "hsodbc.
    CONNECT to 'sysdba' IDENTIFIED BY 'masterkey' USING 'hsodbc. "

    6. when I run my select I get the following error
    Select * from dual@hsodbc
    *
    ERROR on line 1:

    AMT-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    AMT-00530: Protocol adapter error
    Windows 64-bit error: 2: no such file or directory

    You have defined 2 separate listeners:
    The first is called listener and uses port 1521 which contains the DG4MSQL entry in the SID_LIST_LISTENER. The second listener is called LISTENER_D4GMSQL and is listening on port 1511 - but this listener has no section of SID.

    Your tnsnames.ora contains as port 1511, so when you try to use the link data base based on tnsnames.ora alias dg4msql connection is made to the LISTENER_DG$ MSQL (as this one is listening on 1511). But this listener does not have the SID DG4MSQL and so the connection fails.

    You can now change your configuration by editing the tnsnames.ora file by ensuring that you use the listening port that serves the DG4MSQL SID:

    dg4msql =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST=localhost) (PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = dg4msql))
    (HS = OK)
    )

    # SIDE NOTE: Make sure the LISTENER named listener has been started and serves the SID DG4MSQL

    or by modifying your listener.ora file name change
    SID_LIST_LISTENER to SID_LIST_LISTENER_DG4MSQL
    Afterwards please, STOP and START the utility LISTENER_DG4MSQL lsnrctl listener.

  • Slow access to the virtual machine network (Windows 2008 Server 64-bit) Windows 7.

    Hello.

    I have a problem when you access files shared on a Windows 2008 Server 64 bits on a client computer to Windows 7. It takes a long time (up to a few minutes) to for example open a Word file from the network share. It is not always, but quite often.

    This also happens on two different servers client with almost the same equipment. Which is a basic IBM x 3400 with hard drives in RAID. I disabled the feature of unloading TCP/IP on the network inside the VM card.

    Someone has an answer for this? Have I missed something, a configuration perhaps? I'm totally lost here...

  • vCenter 4 hosted on Windows 2008 Server

    I wonder to explore the possibility to pass the system vCenter 4, which is a virtual machine within the environment clustered ESX of hosted on a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 Server.  I suppose that this subject is not new, but can't find any information about it.  Is there a timeline available or the information on it?  R & D/QA prepares a migration plan or guideline to allow this to happen?  If so, it will take a simple migration/upgrade to level or vCenter will need to be reinstalled from scratch?

  • Windows 2008 Server NFS - permission denied when accessing the NFS data store

    Hello

    I'm trying to configure a Windows 2008 Server to store virtual machines on an NFS share.

    When I add the data store to my host, I have no Brown Read-only and the data store is added successfully.

    When I browse the data store, as soon as I try to delete a file or create a folder, I have an error message: "cannot delete" or "cannot complete the file was created.

    You must configure the user name mapping in Services for UNIX/NFS and map the root user.  Detailed instructions here: http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.  I was able to implement some hosts to use my Windows NFS export, but it was a bit unreliable.  This is a configuration not supported with VMware...
