Activate on existing VCA

Hi guys

I got a new server and I need to install and add to my existing cluster, the processor being different: 51xx and 53xx I discovered that I need to activate CVS by reading documentation said EVC

+If I up the EVC mode, virtual machines will be able to access the new features available in this mode?

Is that you turn off and then turn on the virtual machines. A

restarting the guest operating system is not enough. A virtual

machine determines what features are available to turn on, and

Cannot access all of the new features that are added until it is turned off. +

OK, got it

but I found this on the web

http://www.virtualizationteam.com/virtualization-VMware/VMware-VI3-virtualization-VMware/how-to-enable-VMware-eVC-on-VMware-vSphere-VI3-without-downtime.html

which basically says to create a cluster of TEMP and move virtual machines to cluster is empty my questions is

It really worked?

in this case, if it really works that I use my idea

Create a new Cluster I activate CVS and I just disconnect - delete - and add my old host vsphere to the new Cluster (active VCA) and finally add my new hosts 53xx?

or any other idea to avoid having my production environment down?

Thank you very much

Difficulty understanding what you mean, but if your point is that you need no downtime, ehre you will:

(1) create new cluster fetid with EVC

(2) put the OLD cluster 1 host (host A) in maint. mode (all VMs vmotion, remember who they are)

(3) move A host to new cluster

(4) Vmotion VMs that were on the host a return on host A (Yes it is possible through clusters)

(5) repeat 2 through 4 for each host in the old cluster.

  • Why do I need to activate an existing license?

  • Can not activate iCloud email

    I already had this problem with two different users:

    I tried to activate email in the prefs to iCloud. Instead of activate the existing icloud.com already addressed in Apple Mail, he ads a second time the address of electronic mail of users (i.e. users Apple ID) to Apple Mail. When you try to disable the synchronization of notes on the regular e-mail account, it wan't let me do this and instead asked me to disable one of the two identical accounts.

    In either case the user does not yet address icloud.com. Instead of asking to add one, the same strange happens.

    Help, please!

    Have you tried signing off iCloud, wait a few minutes and then reconnect?

  • Replacement of existing fonts by fonts of type kit?

    I have an old TypeKit license, no - Let's say - a myriad on my machine. This policy is not enabled all the time, but only when necessary.

    What happens when I forgot to activate my existing myriad, and I opened a document that needs this font? In InDesign CC 2014 a dialog appears, asking to install the missing fonts on TypeKit.

    What, if I do this? Myriad TypeKit will replace my myriad, which means ultimately the police disappeared when I cancel my subscription to the CC?

    Hi mac_heibu,

    Sync of Typekit fonts will not overwrite a font of the same name that you have installed locally.  If the local police is cleared, you will be able to synchronize the same as Typekit without any problem.  (If the local policy is active, you will see an error message in the creative clouds: "a font with the same name is already installed.".)

    When you want to reuse your installed version, remove the font from your fund selections Typekit so it is not more synchronized on your computer.  Then re - activate the police locally in your font management software (book fonts, for example).

    I hope this helps; Let me know if you have any other questions!  Best,

    -liz

  • Hi, after about half an hour I can not select the open tabs or see new tabs. When I reboot and restore previous session new tabs appear.

    Unable to activate the existing tabs. I have no problem with the restoration of a previous session or by opening the previous tabs, but although the new tabs are created - because I see them when I restart Firefox - they are invisible until I restart. In addition, some, but not all menu options are not available, until I restart.

    Any advice would be appreciated,

    See you soon,.

  • Questions about reinstalling Windows XP after the end of Support

    Several members of the family of my friends that I sometimes provide technical assistance for are still under XP SP3 on their systems.  These systems are too outdated and underpowered to upgrade to a newer version of Windows, and it will probably be some time until they are able to upgrade to a more recent hardware capable of running most modern versions of Windows.

    If in the meantime, something happens to one of their computers requiring a reinstall of Windows after support for XP purposes, but before they can get a newer computer, I have a few questions about what will happen:

    1. Is there still a way to activate their existing copies of XP during installation process?
    2. While I understand that new patches, updates, patches & will be is no longer provided, existing patches will be available through the Microsoft Update service so that I would be able to get those computers to update state that they would be about to XP supported ends, or do I have to search elsewhere to try & find these updates?  (It would be nice if Microsoft put up a cumulative update that would be sort of a mega-patch for people in this situation to be able to get back to the most current state systems, but I would not be surprised if there wasn't such a thing).

    Anyone know the answers to these questions?

    Thank you

    You should be able to clean install and activate Windows XP.  You should be able to upgrade as well, even if the wise move would be to get the updates stored on portable media or integrated into a multimedia installation (or both) as soon as POSSIBLE if the plan is to continue using Windows XP for a while.

    My suggestion is to set up and to buy Windows 7 Professional renovated systems / lease from places like TigerDirect.com - as pricing is generally about the same as just a license for Windows 7 or a little professional, the hardware specifications of these machines are likely machines Windows XP current in use, using something like the PC Mover take care of Laplink and Microsoft to move files (or for the more than 25 USD the) applications that can be moved as well) to the new system of the former is possible, and Windows 7 will get updated until 2020.

    Recently research I've seen systems to Windows 7 Professional for as little as 150 USD with 4 GB of memory and dual core processors.  Not bad.

  • Windows 7 trial professiolnal

    I'm working on a number of old PC we need to upgrade to windows 7 pro. I have a legal DVD of the operating system is already installed on another pc.

    I think that as a trial, I can use the DVD for 30 days without activating it with a new COA.

    I need to ensure that custom applications will run under the it on the old PC with w7 before purchasing additional copies.

    Can I use my existing legal DVD to install windows 7 pro, install apps and then if everything works well purchase a new license and then use to activate the existing install without having to re - load windows and applications?

    If so, use my existing COA temporarily to perform the installation and then replace it before 30 days without licensing issues?

  • EVC cluster creation / migration hosts him / minimal disruption VM

    I am reshape my somewhat environment and need a bit of advice.  Currently, I have 2 ESX hosts in a non - EVC cluster and built a new blade server.  The new blade and 2 hosts will work together in a cluster active CVS.  I know that I have to run my EVC cluster "Intel Xeon Core 2" mode.  All 3 hosts will support this mode.

    The News / 3rd cluster is sitting in his own vCenter, a VCA-activated cluster (in mode above).  Has no running VMS, it is already configured with network access and storage that matches that of the 2 existing/production hosts, which are currently managed by another instance of vCenter (but I am moving them out of this instance of vCenter in this new EVC-activated, to join the new blade.

    All hosts running ESX 3.5 U4.  vCenter is 2.5 U4.

    BIOS on guests must be modified to memory XD in so that they can be used in an EVC cluster, so I know I need to stop at SOME point to get them in the cluster active CVS.

    I have an idea on how to address these requirements, with a big goal is NO interruption of service for running virtual machines.  VMs can be migrated to a new cluster, EVC-activated, coming from an old cluster VCA not compatible?  Most all current VMs based on Intel some running already in reference "Intel Xeon Core 2" EVC mode or I'm just kidding me and must arrest all of them at some point after they "seized" a VCA-activated cluster?

    How would you do to this migration between vCenters and Clusters?  I think I can use 'Disconnect' the first vcenter (to at least avoid having to go into Maint Mode and then 'delete' of the first cluster/vCenter database)... also, I'm looking for the most logical get "here" to "there".  Thank you.

    I see that the problem of different vCenters/Clusters is resolved.

    What you need now is to know if you can VMotion between two ESXs with different processors. Before existing VCA, I have had... and had NOT a few difficulties doing this. It is not a problem when DIFFERENT pCPUs have the SAME GAMES of INSTRUCTIONS (SSE3, SSSE3, SSSE4 and so on...) Even if the sets are different, I was able to mix the MASK of CPU management options, which are by VM (thing that I didn't like... There should be an option to change this on a same CLUSTER basis or an ESX!).

    I recommend you to test for differences between the sets of instructions of the Jepp of two ESX with this tool, I think it is the best out there:

    http://www.run-virtual.com/?page_id=155

    If the sets of instructions are different, you have a problem, because you have to find the bits change in the MASK of CPU options in each virtual machine... and who needs a reboot, too. I think they will be different, because more recent pCPUs with FlexMigration (VCA compatible Intel processors), simply because they are new they surely have a new instruction set (perhaps SSSE4)

    Good luck!

  • Sorenson codecs are not displayed

    Anyone know why sorenson quicktime codecs do not appear in the library of codecs on the new CS4 (after effects, Premiere Pro CS4 PS) for some reason, I have them in older versions CS2 and CS3, but not in CS4 (none of them have them) and of course, I installed the full CS4 Production Premium directly from the original packaging with all options I tried 3 times and nothing, I re-installed the quicktime pro, but nothing is there
    Anyone know not proven to add this codecs to CS4 codecs library, you know that it is a video codec of high quality in a small size compression
    Thanks in advance
    [email protected]

    It is not a CS4 or even something related to Adobe. Some time ago, Apple said that Sorenson Video (and a few others) obsolete. For this reason, you must manually activate.

    To activate the existing codecs for QuickTime 7.4 on Mac OS x:

    1. After Effects output.
    2. Click Apple Menu.
    3. Select System Preferences.
    4. Select QuickTime.
    5. Click the Advanced tab.
    6. Select to see the legacy encoders.
    7. Close system preferences.

    To activate the codecs of QuickTime 7.4 on Windows XP:

    1. After Effects output.
    2. Click Start > Control Panel.
    3. Double-click on QuickTime.
    4. Click the Advanced tab.
    5. Under Media Encodingcheck active encoding using codecs.
    6. Click OK.

    That said, Sorenson Video really is a codec inherited. H264 is much more efficient, has been around for years and it is compatible with Quicktime and the current Flash plugin.

  • vSphere 4.0u2 activate VCA with running virtual machines?

    Hello

    We are in the process of upgrading/migration of 4.0u2 ESX to ESXi 4.1.

    vCenter has been upgraded to 4.1 and we have received a couple of new hosts, which we are in the process of ESXi 4.1 installation on.

    We would like to put the new 4.1 hosts in a HA/DRS cluster's existing capabilities while we improve the hosts in a cluster.

    However, a difference between processors in the old and new guests two-way vMotion (Opteron 2435 vs. Opteron 6174).

    -I'm guessing that the new AMD - V 2.0 feature is to "blame"?

    It seems that the option activate CVS for Opteron Gen 3 is available on the cluster's existing ESX4.0u2 - even if the virtual machines are running.

    But will it work? And it is supported? (Seems at least that it was not possible in v3.5)

    I tried direct CVS on a test cluster containing two new hosts ESXi4.1 and a test of running VMs - this has worked.

    - And afterwards, I was able to vMotion on the 'old' cluster ESX4.0u2.

    But I'm a little reluctant to do a direct to CVS on our existing production cluster.

    Any input/experiences?

    Best regards

    Martin

    VCA goes through the same process of validation that vMotion don't - so it will not let you do if he won't have to work. I did not work with AMD chips in this configuration, but I did it with intel (and recently) and it worked very well and in production.

  • How can I configure a new TimeCapsule for an existing network without having to activate the internal networks?

    I tried to go in advance and choose "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network", but it keeps defaulting to 'add a new network '.

    without having to activate the internal networks?

    "Add TimeCapsule to the existing network.

    You cannot add a TC in an existing network, if there is.

    You must configure the TC for the network.

    It keeps default back to "add a new network.

    So, it's OK... The TC is part of an existing network or makes a new.

    You must connect to the TC network... either wireless or ethernet.

    However, you can manually configure the TC simply plug ethernet for example.

    See, cable using Time Capsule for Mac for backup only.

    The same can be done for the wireless... but a TC is really the bad device for backups if you don't have a network... It's cheaper, faster and more reliable by using a USB key.
