Allowing non-root users to mount the ISO images in VSphere
Hello!
I'm running ESXi 5 on a root server and want my users to be able to mount a local data store ISO images in their respective VMs.
I created a role to allow them to start/stop/restart etc their VM, that works well. But I am confused as what permissions, I need to define where to allow them to browse and set an ISO for their virtual CD drives. The authorization 'Browse the data store', set for the virtual machine and the server, doesn't really help.
All ideas are welcome!
Sorry for the late reply,
I can choose an ISO local data store and create a new virtual machine with the following privileges on a stand-alone ESXi 5:
Data store > allocate space
Data store > Browse Datastore
Home > operations > reconfigure virtual computer
Resources > assign virtual machine to the list of resources
Virtual machine > all (but this could / should be more restrictive)

How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console
Hi friend
How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console?
I run the sub command and it failed.
# mount o loop-t iso9660 vmware-esx-drivers-net-be2net_400.2.102.440.0-1vmw.2.17.249663.292682.iso / free

ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below
(1) install VCLI
(2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
(3) use vihostupdate to install the driver
vihostupdate-i b- servername
He will ask for username and password of your host.Thank you

can not download the iso images for vSphere
Hello
You also have this problem, that you do not see the iso images available for download for ESX 3.5, and after logging in order to obtain trial of vSphere, email is not in your Inbox?
I can't download then all the necessary installation iso images.
Thanks in advance for any help :/
Hello
Transferred to vSphere install and upgrade day & forum.
Go to http://www.vmware.com/downloads you can then select vSphere. To do this, you will need to connect to your VMware Store account and then download the appropriate ISOs. Without the VMware Store account you can not download the images. If you select evaluation, you will need to complete administrative formalities, then wait for a response. Which can take 24 hours or more.

Non-root user cannot start Apache on port 443
Today I have tried to get SSL works for my Oracle Applications 11i (11.5.10.2) installation and I have a little problem just hit. I followed all the documentation of Oracle that I met, who asked me to create a new (non-root) user to have the level of database and applications layer. I also followed the instructions for configuring SSL ([Doc 123718.1| https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:6976756808231635106:p14_database_id, p14_docid, p14_show_header, p14_show_help, p14_black_frame, p14_font:NOT, 123718.1, 1, 1, 1, helvetica]) and the Assistant SSL in OAM uses by default the standard HTTPS port (443). However, being a privileged port 443 a non-root user cannot link to it. In other words, the documentation of the Oracle himself led me to an impossible situation. That's what I see in the Apache error log:
[Fri May 15 15:05:03 2009] [critical] (13) permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to port 443
At this point, I see two possibilities:
1. launch the application as root layer services.
2. change the SSL port to something higher to 1024 (i.e. 4443).
I'm leaning toward option #2, as the #1 option cancels the advantage of using a non-root user in a first time. Someone at - it any other suggestions? Oracle has recommendations for this scenario?Hello
Simply start Apache as root (not all application services). For Option 1, the application layer files must belong to the user applmgr/oracle (not), and Option 2, you don't need to change the port (if it's a viable option). Just follow the steps described in the following document.
Note: 356080.1 - how to run Apache on Port 80 in 11i applications
https://metalink2.Oracle.com/MetaLink/PLSQL/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=not&P_ID=356080.1BTW, this is mentioned in the document "If you chose the 443 port (or port less than 1024) for your SSL port, you will need to start Apache as root".
Kind regards

How to read the ISO images in media center window
I have my DVD ISO images, but when I go to play them in Windows media center I get a message:
"There is no drawn image detected on your system capable of mounting disc image."
What Miss me?ISO files are not audio/video files, they are the image of a CD or DVD that contains files.
You can burn the ISO on a CD/DVD to access the files, use WinRAR (can view most of the ISO files) or mount the ISO.
This is a free software that is able to mount the ISO:

How to extract the ISO image to CD?
I would like to know any tool in Windows XP to extract the ISO image to CD.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
I would like to know any tool in Windows XP to extract the ISO image to CD.
I think you're probably asking to write the contents of an ISO image to a CD. If this is the case, you will need to use a burning CD/DVD software to do the job. Windows XP has no native support for burning ISO images.
Nero, Roxio - these programs are well known actors in this area, but they come with a price tag. If you have these programs already installed in the computer, you can simply search the help content within these software to find out how to burn ISO images to use.
But, if you don't have this software, you can download ISO free burning programs to do the job. Search online for free ISO burning software and you'll get a ton of these programs.
This is a good program to burn ISO images:

It is the nature of ESXi - kb.vmware.com/kb/2005299. You can use managed to move to the root connection.
You can configure it with ESX sudo, but is not available with ESXi (at least not yet - http://communities.vmware.com/thread/344466).

. VMDK copy with the non-root user account
Hello
On a machine of ESXi 3.5, I try to copy the files with a non-root account created
I have same asigned this account non-root Administrator role
I activated the SSH on the ESXi host
The virtual machine is turned off
With the non-root using winscp or plink with cp account I can copy the .log files and .vmx files but no other files
When I log in to the root account can I copy all the files belonging to the virtual machine.
Does anyone know what is the reason for this behavior?
Any help greatly appreciated
This is a permission problem.
If you see the permission (for example with ls - l), you will see that only root has rw - for these files.
You can change the permissions chmod g + rw File_List and add you're your root in Group (add entry in/etc/group).

need to change my OS xp for College, I have a 32-bit laptop and ifWindows do not know XP Professional with SP3 ISO Image (single user) is a 32 bit OS
What is the file size.
The x 86 .iso should be 589 MB (617,756,672 bytes) in size.
SHA1 hash value must be: 1C735B38931BF57FB14EBD9A9BA253CEB443D459
Download and install of SlavaSoft HashCalc
HASH, CRC, AND HMAC CALCULATOR
http://www.SlavaSoft.com/HashCalc/index.htmFor Windows. ISO file just place checkmarks in the boxes of SHA1 and CRC32.
In the main window of HashCalc "data format" box located in the top left corner should be set to "file".
In the 'Data' field, click on the... located at the top right and then click 'Cancel' If you get a "Insert disk" window pop up.
After clicking cancle, you should see a window 'find '. This allows you to navigate to the folder where your. ISO file is stored and click on the file.
You should now see the. ISO file that you clicked on listed in the box 'File name' located at the bottom of the "Find" window
Now click on the button 'open '. The data field should now show the path of the directory/folder and the name of the. You have selected the ISO file.
With only the SHA1 and CRC32 checkboxes are checked (do not place check marks in all the other boxes as this can slow the time it take to calculate values) click on the 'Calculate' button at the bottom of the main window of HashCalc.
It will take anywhere from 30-60 seconds for the calculation and the SHA1 and CRC32 data values to display.
These values are not case sensitive, so a lower case 'a' is the same as a capital letter "A" to the extent where results are concerned.
Never be afraid to ask. This forum has some of the best people in the world to help.

How to mount and ISO image a guest VM cd Drive using the command line?
I have been googled around and couldn't find no clear solution. Then this possibly done with vSphere PowerCLI or CLI?
PowerCLI, this can be done with a host device:
Get - VM | Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - HostDevice "/ dev/scd0 '-connected: $false - confirm: $false
Yes, do you it with the cmdlet Set-Cddrive. Like this for example
Get-VM-name
| Get-CDDrive. Game-CDDrive - v - IsoPath - confirm: $false Don't forget the vacuum between the data store and the ISO-file-path!

Sonic RecordNow is able to burn the .iso Image files?
I can't believe this. I might be Toshiba Satellite L20 205 is Record now Version 7.31 basic Sonic and has no facility for burning image (ISO format) on my CD/DVD files, unless and and util I move to Deluxe v7.3 for an additional price of $30.
If this can be true? Save and burn disc button images takes me directly to the upgrade link on the Internet.
This is the first time I came across an OEM bundled, disc burning trying to strip me for a simple job like burning the .iso files software?
Am I missing something?Hello
I don t use the sound recording now to make an iso file because I m user of Nero.
I love this program. But back to Sonic.
As much as I know Sonic doesn't supports this option. It doesn t create iso files.
You can use it to create audio CDs from files on your HARD drive, convert audio CDs to MP3, create a Toshiba CD-ROM, CD copy, etc.If you want to create iso files, you must use another application like Nero
