A few questions about VMware tools and U2 of ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

In my workplace, there is a cluster of vSphere 4 six nodes containing 5 servers ESXi 4.0 U2 (4.0.0, 261974) and a server ESXi 4.1 (4.1.0, 260247).  Aparently, it was built that way in the environment concept then deployed into production and now I head for VMware deployment.  This environment is up in producgtion now for over 8 months with this configuration, but starting to be more widely used.  Ideally, I know, we should have all the nodes on the same patch level, but here's the question.

Models used to get the operating system to the virtual machines in this environment were built on the apparently new 4.1 server using this version of VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859).  All so most of the running virtual machines, use this version of VMware tools.  Using this new version of VMware tools on a virtual machine running on a server ESXi 4.0 U2 ESXi would cause issues?  ESXi 4.0 U2 servers push version 4.0.0 build 261974 of the VMware tools, identical to the ESXi version.  The status of the VMware tools when the new 4.1 version is running on a host of U2 4.0 still shows as OK and we have operated this way for more than 8 months.

Another problem is that we have still a few other virtual machines with the 4.0 build U2 VMware tools so when these virtual machines will eventually be VMotioned to an ESXi 4.1 host, VMware tools show as outdated.

Until we can get of planned downtime to upgrade the servers, it should be like that for several weeks if possible.  We have HL7 interfaces on many of these virtual machines that are not too good with VMotion and being in an organization of health care, sometimes difficult to get downtime.  It is perhaps more possible to downgrade the only host to 4.0 U2 until we can plan time to upgrade all hosts.  I would keep the node in the cluster, even if for the moment, assuming that to release 4.1 with other guests at 4.0 U2 should not cause problems, since we can use the resources of that node in this cluster.

Until then, ensuring that all the virtual machines in the cluster use the ESXi version 4.1 of the VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859) would be acceptable?  I just wanted to check that this version should be fully backwards compatible with the previous version of ESXi 4.0 U2, and as I mentioned before, its run like that and have noticed yet all the problems and the status of the VMware Tools also records OK when this new version works on ESXi 4.0 U2 host computer.  I just wanted some feedback from those of the community.

Thank you

Exactly, do you VMotion, virtual host 4.1 machine and if necessary would upgrade the VMware tools. To install VMware tools, it is necessary to restart the virtual machine.

And another option that I say is the first upgraded version of all hosts ESXi4.0 U2 to 4.1, after that, you do an upgrade in the tools of all virtual machines vmware.

Perfect.

You´re are welcome!

  • Question about VMware Tools when upgrading of vSphere 5.1 to 5.5

    We are the vSphere upgrade 5.1 to 5.5. We have still a few virtual machines with obsolete tools VMware vSphere 4.  There problems upgrade to vSphere 5.5 and then upgrade VMware Tools on those virtual machines to the version 5.5?  Or should we upgrade VMware Tools version 5.1 first before doing the upgrade to vSphere 5.5? We need plan restarting downtime when upgrading to VMware Tools on those virtual machines and would rather not upgrade VMware Tools twice and planning two stops

    There is no problem, as vSphere ESXi 5.5 supports the VM running older versions of VMware Tools.

  • A few questions about After Effects and CGI (computer generated images)

    Hello

    I am very new to this forum and After Effects. But I have a few questions.

    Now, I recently started a film project with my friend at a workshop. It's an action/sci-fi film and I'll probably be the editor and, if necessary, support visual and special effects. This looks like a pretty big job for a noob, but we do not have a limit of time with the project, so it's time to learn.

    But my questions. I thought to myself of the introduction of CGI (very simple of course). I studied the use of blender, and I think that I'll use for modeling and animation. But Ae should be used in any stage of production of CGI or make in a blender? If I do, how? I'm going in the wrong direction (bad kind of software, etc.)?

    In addition, I do not speak of fully producing the scene with the computer, but by adding things like the characters or objects, may be special effects.

    I'm hoping for an answer to my questions, but if you only have one or two responses, I'm happy to hear also. You are also welcome to correct me if I misunderstood something. Thank you for clarification if you need!

    1. Welcome to the family. AE is big, very big. It's hard. Really hard. Not sure how hard AE is learr and master.

    2. no time limit is good, but you will need the money.

    3. This is not a forum of Blender. You want to discover the film, CGI and Blender own forums for this kind of assistance.

    4 AE is for your compositing and special effects. But you will need to learn how both apps work until you decide how to distribute your project. A comparison would be shooting your film. Using a digital SLR? Do you know why? Or do you use a GoPro? Another example may be Apple Final Cut Pro. You can edit the audio in it, but it is preferable to use an audio application. You can do special effects in FCP but it is better to do complex things in motion for After Effects. How can you know what app is appropriate a lot of experience. Many failures.

    5. we were all new EI vidoe editing and special effects at one time or another. The user forums are not places to learn how to use these applications. Do you with tutorials, books and tons of time. One thing is to learn how to use the Blender to make a robot move. Do the robot into a character that requires the public to worry, it is quite another. Using AE to create a layer of clouds is one thing. With these clouds react to bow waves created by your robot flying as it closer sonic speeds is quite another challenge.

  • I have a few questions about the internet and partition recovery

    I deleted completely OS X Yosemite and only left Windows. Now that I'm pretty sick of Windows and want to use my Macbook Air for real, I am using recovery of the internet (order and R) to reinstall OS X.

    I backed up all my data and that you haven't stored anything in my Macbook. My questions are: (I know they are long, but they are quick to respond)

    1. I want to erase everthing on my Mac. I have now 3 partitions. After starting and pressing command + R, I would use disk utility to erase everything, like this .

    After you click Delete, would be merged my 3 partitions in 1 and I could repartition my Mac?

    2. I want to create a partition for OS X Yosemite (and possibly upgrade to El Capitan). What is the minimum recommended size for partition OS X Yosemite? (Because my SSD is only 128 GB)

    3. Let's say I create 3 partitions, let's name A for OS X, B for my data and C for reinstalling Windows. If I boot into Windows, I'd be able to use (read and modify) data on B, or just OS X could do that?

    4 the amount of data I should download during the recuperation of the Internet? I guess that much since I'm downloading the OS X package, but my internet is quite slow, so I want to know how of SGB I have to download.

    5 If I asks me to enter the Apple ID to download OS X, would any book Apple ID?

    Thanks for reading. I would be extremely grateful if you answer my questions. See you soon

    • 0: have backups of everything that you care and disconnect external drives except those you use specifically.  While he isn't supposed to, repartitioning should always be supposed to cause a total loss of data.  Corruptions can and do happen sometimes, unfortunately.  Stray user commands can sometimes target bad drives for erasure or repartitioning, because errors can happen.  Do not connect anything unnecessarily.
    • 1: Yes.  You want to create a volume of GPT partitions.
    • 2: let Yosemite size and add his own scores.
    • 3: using Boot Camp to add the Windows partition.  With a small that disk, I might well Park out Windows on an external storage device, or use a virtual machine, and Windows as a guest.   In general, add additional user-defined partitions are not general, something I recommend.  Resizing and adding and removing partitions can meet with corruptions, provide for backups.
    • 4: depends on various factors, including least aren't servers from Apple how busy are, and how fast your network link is.  I have used to create a local installer and use it.   That fact also resumed and other operations more quickly, at the price of a few $ for a drive of sufficient size.  Recent versions of OS X are ~ 6 gigabytes in size, based on installers the.
    • 5: any Apple ID will work, but having more than one active Apple for OS and app ID buy usually leads to disputes to find out who bought what and who can update what.
  • A few questions about the defrag and hard space as I get a notification saying my hard disk space became full of drive

    I have problems with my hard drive. I got a notification saying that my hard disk space became full. So I cleaned a lot of programs and files of the irrational. I've freed almost half of it. Then I had another notification a few days later and realized that I had less than 1 GB of free space on my hard drive 600 g. I cleaned more and went to defragment my disk. It is set on a calendar, but I don't think that he has never been defragmented. He ran for about 2.5 days until the cord is unplugged and the battery is dead at 91% consolidated. Do I have to start again and wait again 2.5 days before I little hard drive space open? Or progress in the early days of 2.5 will remain défragmentée? In addition, defrag and do a disk cleanup will stop my hard drive to fill almost instantly after deleting and uninstalling programs? I'm running out of things to remove and I am a full-time student full and really need a computer in operation, please help!

    Defragmentation is complete, will continue from the left point last time. Therefore, if you raise, he will continue that 91 percent (of course, it will start from 0%, but the scan will go up that 91% and continue with the rest of the space on the hard disk, that 91% of surface of the hard drive has been defragmented already).

    Yes, you can delete all the files inside the Temp folder. TEMP folder is a temporary storage place used by some programs to temporarily store the files/folders. Some programs remove the files/folders after working, but some retain them, causing space problems.

    You can use disk cleanup, on occasion, to delete unnecessary files from the hard drive.

  • A few questions about his, BIOS and drivers on Satellite P100

    Hello

    Just bought the Satellite P100-188, thought I'd go with a top brand machine, however, on commissioning I am a little concerned about the quality of the speakers who tend to sizzle and distort. If right or wrong I thought that Harman Kardon would deliver the goods. I tried the reset options in the Panel, but being a novice when it comes to search in the "engine room", I'm worried I have settle something important or worse clear settings. Can someone advise.

    NVidia also uncertain whether to update the drivers if early machine bought this week, I notice an update of the driver is available, the driver that is currently installed is version 8.3.2.0.

    Can anyone tell if the BIOS updates are also needed, once again an update 2.10 is shown available but with a WARNING of WTH UPDATE message. This sort of thing is far beyond my understanding of computers, so I would be grateful for anyone offering a perfect beginner tips.

    Hello

    The quality of the sound on the speakers depends on the design of laptops and laptop performance. As far as I know the speaker are a bit smaller than on multimedia laptops.
    If you want to change some of its settings Iwould recommend to go into the control panel and you should find the Manager Realtek HD sound effects. Here it is possible to change an option in the demo audio 3d.

    You also asked for a graphics card driver. You know that driver graphic Toshiba are not similar to the nVidia drivers. In addition the original nVidia drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop but for desktop PC.

    The update of the BIOS is not a simple thing. If you use bad BIOS or update procedure wrong so it is possible that you may damage the motherboard. So if the BIOS update is not necessary, you shouldn't t do.

  • A few questions about VMware Flash Read Cache (vFRC)

    Hello

    1) there is a way to simulate a VMFS datastore as SSD device. See the instructions in the following link:

    http://tomverhaeg.nl/VMware-ESXi/VMware-ESXi-tag-a-device-as-local-and-SSD/

    1 a) can we fake a NFS datastore as a SSD device?

    1 (b) partitions on the SSD device must be empty in order for the vFRC to work.

    There are two scenarios here: empty the lun (with no VMFS file system) and VMFS LUNS (with no data). Both scenarios would work for vFRC?

    (2) a device SSD shareable by multiple ESXi hosts?

    (3) several flash pools can be created for each host ESXi? If so, what is the maximum number of pools of flash can be created by ESXi host?

    (4) a device SSD can be used as a local drive?

  • A few questions about VMWare HA

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to tell you my ideas on VMWare HA.

    I have two ESX servers. Each of them, I have:

    • vSwicth0 (vmnic1 + vmnic 3):

      • The VM network

      • Service console

    • vSwicth1 (vmnic0 + vmnic 2):

      • VMotion VMkernel

      • NetApp VMkernel (iSCSI storage)

      • NetApp Console service

    When I stop one of the two servers, powered on virtual machines migrate to another.

    I read on vmware documentation for VMWare HA, there are two cases:

    • failure (for example, stop the server)

    • response of isolation (Console of Service not responding)

    I tried to follow all the recommendations of VMWare by adding another Console of dedicated Service for HA on a different subnet, but I failed to run the response of isolation procedure.

    I see my virtual machines 'disconnected' and I can't turn them off as I have it configured in HA.

    I would like to virtual machines to migrate when vmnic1 or vmnic0 + vmnic 3, vmnic 2 is declining. Is this possible?

    If so, is there something that I misunderstood on HA or a mistake in my setup?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Since you have with a SC vSwitch0 and vSwitch1 with a SC, both will be down for things to be isolated. It's not one or the other, but both. You can assign up to have one, but don't not one or the other, one or both.

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

  • Question about the interruptions and priming

    Hello

    I had a few questions about the startup and interruptions in a virtualized environment

    Assuming that, plenty of virtualization (no material assistance to virtualization of memory ).

    1 initialization: in an ordinary PC, the boot process starts with the BIOS, to expansion ROM, back to the BIOS and MBR secondary boot record, then grub (is it) and finally the operating system. In a virtualized environment with VMM running directly on top of hardware (Native VMM), how is the initialization of the different process, as I understand it takes BIOS-> Expansion ROM - > BIOS-MBR-> other record secondary-> VMM-> OS--> applications >. Am I right on that?

    2 breaks: VMM examines the source interruptions prior to the interruption, so in a multicore environment, assuming a 2 processor core, how the VMM decides on the kernel for which the interruption in intended, prior to shipment of the interruption. Interruptions are tag ID, said core ID?

    Thanks in advance

    It is simplistic but essentially correct.  A metaphor would be a little better thinking that the hypervisor/vmm is an operating system, except that the process on this operating system are requests or comments OSes.  If the BIOS-> OPROM-> BIOS-> MBR-> hypervisor-> init process of the hypervisor-> reviews of fork () s operating systems.  This can become blurred by the design choices (for example Xen/Hyper-V init start a coded parent hard partition that makes hypercalls privileged to fork() guest OSes; ESXi init runs a very limited subset of applications directly on the hypervisor and ESX Classic is somewhere between these approaches).

    There is a subtle distinction between "hypervisor" and "www."  The "hypervisor" is the operating system of single root (e.g. ESX) who interacts directly with the hardware and has access to everything; a hypervisor is not to be used to run virtual machines.  When we talk about a "hypervisor", the tendency is to describe something which is a BONE (although usually a minimal OS designed only to run virtual machines).  The "www" is the layer that allows a virtual machine run: it provides the interposition, virtualization and emulation services and can be plural (for example a vmm by guest operating system).  Architecture of VMware deal with these two separate components, while most other virtualization platforms merge the two.

    Strictly speaking, the interruption is not transmitted to a guest operating system - receives the hypervisor (or rather the VMM it transmits to the hypervisor), the hypervisor drivers interpret the interruption (for example reading package of NIC, I/O process of HBA, the timer tick completion), then after a new appropriate break in the guest OS.

  • A few questions about integration between POET and EBS

    Hi you
    I am a new bie BIEE. In those days, have a look at the POET architecture and BIEE components. In the next project, there is some work on the development of POET based on request of the EBS. I have a few questions about integration:

    (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?

    (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?

    (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?

    (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?

    could someone give some pointers for me? I am very appreciated if you can also provide any other information.

    Thanks in advance.

    (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?

    You shud look at OBI request here that uses OBIEE as a tool for reporting with pre-built modules. 10g & 11g comes with different versions of the applications of BI that supports sources such as Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, etc...

    (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?

    His independent of any source. It comes to OBIEE modeling to create the RPD with all the layers. If you build from scratch, then you will need to create all layers else if BI Apps is used so you can get pre-built RPD and other pre-designed components.

    (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?

    BI apps comes with ETL pre-built mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only applications BI 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI, but oracle has the intention of having only ODI for any other versions.

    (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?

    User will see still old data because its good enable Cache and serving it after each load.

  • A few questions about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

    Hello guys,.
    I had a few questions about unpleasant surprises of recovery:

    (* 1) * I just make recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and he asked initially for 2 DVDs - but when one has been done it does not require a second blank DVD. Is it possible all the Windows Vista system files to write on 1 DVD?

    (* 2) * if I could reinstall Windows Vista using recovery of HARD drive option (by pressing F8) without using the recovery DVD?

    (* 3) * HARD drive partitions that will be formatted (just system C: or C: and E :) using HARD drive recovery?

    (* 4) * what is DVD - Image of the hard drives or the installation of Vista recovery files?

    Its pretty bad idea to not include BONES on DVD when I paid for it.
    Thanks for all the Toshiba problems :(

    1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I also have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and a DVD. I got it and after that, I have a clean install of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Nothing is missing.

    2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using recovery of HARD drive option when you press F8 at startup. You don't need the recovery DVDs, but you should create a when your HARD drive get some errors or something else. If you need a new recovery DVDs, you paid for one.

    3 HARD drive and complete partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD disk external DRIVE, USB stick or something else.
    After the reinstallation, you have factory settings.

    4. the recovery DVDs is an image of the HARD disk on the factory settings. If you perform a recovery, there are all the drivers and tools are already installed. Of course, on the disk are files of installations of Vista, but you can use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disc cannot be used on another Satellite or on a PC.

    If you have any other questions, take a look in the user manual. There are a number in the formations of the recovery. It s in Chapter 3.

  • Questions about vmware high availability

    Dear all,

    I am new in this area, we intend to deploy vmware 5 in our environment by using the HA, I am a student in this regard. I have a few questions about this, I need assistance by experts in this field:

    -J' read the vmware network redundancy is strongly recommended for the configuration of vmware HA, but I haven't fully?

    -When vmware HA is configured and there are two hosts in the cluster, now when creating a new machine virtual, I need to specify under which host this new virtual machine must reside OR the HA feature will automatically decide on that?

    -When vmware HA is set up and I have two hosts in cluster, a host processors 4physical and 8 GB of RAM, the other host is also even have 4 physical processors and 8 GB of RAM, so for me which are the sets of resources will be presented? I will be display individually for each host resources when you create a new virtual machine, OR I will be presented with a SUM of resources 1 + 2 host resources to play?

    -Is it possible that I assigned 4 vCPU virtual machine and 4 GB Mem and it uses little resources from host 1 and few resources to host 2, as 2 vCPU to host 1 and 2 GB and still host 2vCPU 2 and remains 2GB (given that I am presented with the SUM of the cluster as mentioned in my second question resources)

    -J' read operating system failure when in vmHA particular VM will be restarted on the same host it resides, that means? If the BONE broke down, then when new virtual machine starts, it will be also having fallen copy of OS? I mean how this new machine will be launched, it's a copy identical secondary virtual machine crashed?

    Waiting for your help.

    Kind regards

    OK, consider cases that I am only using HA and no DRS, in this case I need to specify under what host to run VM?

    I read the first question again, then please, let me make this clear. When you create a new virtual machine, you must always specify a host and storage.

    Initial investment (when you are powering on a virtual machine) is a feature of the Drs without DRS a virtual machine can only be migrated to another host manually or with the virtual machine shut down (cold migration) or using vMotion (if allowed).

    But because of an event leading to the crash of the OS reboot also not solve the problem, correct me if I understood? This is also true for FT?

    You're right, HA can restart only a virtual machine. If there is a serious issue that causes the BONE invited to plant that regularly, this is not enough and you have to solve the problem manually. FT cannot resolve as she makes it "mirrors" the guest to another host, so it will also reflect a BSOD.

    Yes, FT has still some limitations. However, there are use cases where availability is important and FT is designed to ensure continuous availability in the event of a crash the host.
