• Deploy the FSCMDB-SES-85302. EGGS in VMware vSphere

  Hello

  I tried to deploy the FSCMDB-SES-85302. EGGS for PeopleSoft Update Manager in vSphere without success.  I was able to deploy a few other OVAs PUM in our VMware environment without problem.  This process requires me to import in VirtualBox, unit of export, import in VMware Player and then run VMware Converter to put the device in our vSphere environment.  This process does not work for this special OVA.  Instead, when you import in VMware Player, I get the following error:

  Error when converting to a virtual machine: the import operation failed with more than 5 errors. The FVO you are trying to import is probably damaged or unsupported legacy version. The first 5 errors are below:

  Line 131: Not supported value of '2' for the item "addressOnParent".

  Line 141: Not supported value of "3" for the element "addressOnParent".

  Line 39: Not supported value of '2' for the item "VirtualQuantity".

  Virtual machine has 4 096 megabytes of memory, which is out of range of 4 to 3 600 megabytes made supported on the host computer. This can be a restriction General host software or specific to the guest OS selected for the virtual machine.

  Virtual machine has 2 virtual processors, but the host only supports 1. The number of virtual processors may be limited by the OS selected for the guest virtual computer or licensing for the host.

  I tried to export the EGGS and change the OVF template file.  However, I'm not confident in what must change these values to make this work of the FVO.  I tried to change the values of addressOnParent to 0, just to see if she would incorporate and then by changing the values for the processor and the memory. It is important, but the drive of the virtual machine configuration is obviously not as expected when all addressOnParent values are 0 (only 3 of the 5 disks are attached to the virtual machine).  Does anyone have suggestions on how to properly import the given in vSphere?  Or did someone knows what the addressOnParent values should be replaced by play nice with VMware Player?

  Thank you

  Seems you more complicated to achieve the same as I did, but much less steps without the need for VirtualBox, VMPlayer and VMConverter or.

  Please take a look:

  http://Gasparotto.blogspot.nl/2013/04/VirtualBox-appliances-for-PeopleSoft-on.html

  To make it short:

  1. create the OVULES of zip files

  2. unzip the OVA

  3. change the ovf (pay attention to the disc format, sound card)

  4 ovtool do everything to move to your ESX host.

  I have not tested on FSCMDB-SES-85302. EGGS. It worked on HCM 9.2.003 however, as I've shown here: on the road to Peoplesoft: how Peoplesoft stop OVULATING after init, so I don't see why it shouldn't work... but of course, Oracle is not suppose to give always the same format for customers who want to run a movement of ESX, you're still on your own on this path. Until, and unless you use Oracle VM, which you can spend all the downright PUM.

• Error when applying for invalid package (archive) - the resource name is not valid

  I am trying to package a WebWorks on a Mac html application. I have installed ripple but packing doesn't seem to be an option in the menu of the ripple.

  When I try to run the program from the Terminal of the error:

  Invalid application - archive the resource name is not valid(__MACOSX/._twitter.png)

• Clarification on the protection of the VMS with snapshots. SRM 5.1

  In SRM 5.1 documentation one of the limitations listed is:

  When the protection of the VMS with snapshots of the memory state, the ESXi hosts on protection and restoration sites must have compatible processors as defined in the articles of the VMware knowledge base CPU VMotion for Intel processors compatibility requirements and CPU VMotion for AMD compatibility requirements. Guests must also have the same characteristics of active BIOS. If the BIOS of the server configurations do not match, they show a compatibility error message, even if otherwise, they are identical. The two most common to check features are the No-Execute memory Protection (NX / XD) and virtualization technology (VT / AMD - V).

  
  

  
  

  You can work around this limitation by using the mode of the VCA on groups the and protected?
  

  VCA mode will mitigate this risk, but you must make sure that the two Clusters to the protégé and recovery Sites are at the SAME level CVS before take snapshots of the memory.

  At the end of the day, only a "planned actual Migration" will verify this.

  Good luck!

  etc etc etc.

  Your $vmview variable contains an array of objects VirtualMachine, not a single object VirtualMachine.

  And the ReconfigVM method is called on a VirtualMachine object, not on a table.

  What you can do

  $spec = new-object vmware.vim.virtualmachineconfigspec $spec.Tools = new-object vmware.vim.toolsconfiginfo $spec.Tools.ToolsUpgradePolicy = 'upgradeAtPowerCycle'
  get-vm | % {
      $_.Extensiondata.ReconfigVM($spec)
  }
  

  The appeal for each VM of separately in a foreach loop.

  The VirtualMachine object is available through the Extensiondata property. So, you can call the ReconfigVM method on this property.

• HA 5.0 - what happens if not all the VMs of high priority start?

  If you are using vSphere 5.0 with the new HA and I have selected for example 10 virtual machines with a high priority and the rest with a way by default, then after failing the medium priority VMs should not start until all the high VMs have been restarted.

  However, if for any reason a priority high THAT VM does not start - what will happen with the environment? They will wait forever or is there any time-out value that will allow them to get actually?

  Also, if all the high VMs restart successfully, when are usually begun average VMs? Is there any time or similar value that governs this?

  Prior to 5.0, HA will re-start all virtual machines more or less at the same time. The priority of restarting been really used only to decide _which_ vms to failover if there are not enough resources to restart all the. In 5.0, HA will restart all virtual machines of high priority before starting to restart more low priority vms. This ranking is only with respect to the operation 'turned on. As soon as all virtual machines of high priority are turned on, HA will increase to restart the Middle, then the vms of priority below. High-priority virtual machines can still be booting virtual machines of medium priority starting power. Once HA has restarted VMS high priority it passes immediately to lowest priority those - it does not wait for 30 seconds. And as already mentioned, this ranking is only for initial failover attempt. If some high priority vm fails to failover for a reason, HA will not until failover of VMS of lower priority if the retry of the high-priority virtual computer restarts may occur during or after the lower priority vms are be toggled.

• How to move from Data Guard time really apply (restore) to archive the journal

  Hello
  
  Standby database configured with broker and application really remake in time; However, I want to change it to archive the journal apply mode without losing the broker configuration. Is this possible? If it is not possible to use the broker to make archive log apply, I can remove the broker and use Data Guard to set up the day before to use the archive log apply?
  
  Concerning

  Hello;

  Broker automatically allows real-time applies to databases on hold if the standby database has standby redo logs configured.

  Stop repeat applies

  DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE 'PRIMARY' SET STATE='APPLY-OFF';
  

  Repeat restart applies broker

  DGMGRL> EDIT DATABASE 'PRIMARY' SET STATE='APPLY-ON';
  

  In order to get rid of standby redo logs would be a way. I would like to leave myself alone. Real time assistance to prevent the loss of data.

• Is there a mechanism to prevent the Virtual Appliances Cisco to be cloned or exported in the form of the OVF/EGGS?

  I am very confused why Cisco has no mechanism to prevent its virtual appliances are cloned or copied, for example I can install ACS 5.6, buy a license and deploy it, then I can export the virtual as appliance and the OVA file and deploy it elsewhere in other licenses without the need to buy another license, after the deployment of file EGGS I can even change the IP address , Default Gateway, NTP server or any settings that I want but license is valid in steel...

  Why the hell is happening?

  Not a bug, it's how ACS works now, it's your ethical standards if you break this system of 'trust' that Cisco has implemented. It is actually as most of the Cisco product was working at the time, and some products are back for this model (ASA APEX ex.)

• How can I keep type NIC vmxnet3 when exporting to the OVF/EGGS

  Hello

  I exported a virtual machine from my server ESXi 4.0.0 using ovftool for Windows, but the type of NETWORK card seems to have been changed as part of the conversion. It was VMXNET3 on the host, but ends up being VMXNET in the OVF.

  The export was made as follows...

   ovftool --eula@=c:\MyEULA --powerOffSource vi://root:password@esxi4_host/MyVapp d:\dev\vapps\ 

  Excerpt from the original .vmx

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"
  

  The .ovf excerpt that has been generated

     <VirtualHardwareSection>
  ...snip..
        <Item>
          <rasd:AddressOnParent>7</rasd:AddressOnParent>
          <rasd:AutomaticAllocation>true</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>
          <rasd:Connection>VM Network</rasd:Connection>
          <rasd:Description>VmxNet ethernet adapter on "VM Network"</rasd:Description>

          <rasd:ResourceSubType>VmxNet</rasd:ResourceSubType>
          <rasd:ResourceType>10</rasd:ResourceType>
  ...snip..
      </VirtualHardwareSection>
  

  Is this a known issue? No work around?

  This is a known issue and is fixed in the next version of ovftool.

  A work around is to open find file OVF nic change the resourceSubType of

  
   VmxNet
  

  TO

  
   VmxNet3
  

  You must also remove the .mf file after you modify the OVF.

  I hope this helps.

• How to archive the folder to a different computer

  I have thunderbird on both computers. And I need to have a record of archives containing old e-mail on a different computer.
  They have unfortunately deleted here.
  Both computers are synchronized, but the folder of archive is not sync.

  Thank you
  Gary

  Do you want to say that the record of archive has been deleted one or both computers? If the PC is synchronized, make sure you have sharing capabilities for tuberculosis. You say "They were unfortunately deleted here." If they no longer exist then you of course cannot transfer sync or any other form besides. If you have a copy on one, you can transfer them another way. Open the CT that contains the archived file and minimize, so you can see your desktop also. Create a "new folder" on your desktop, in TB click ctrl a (to select it), then ctrl c (to copy to Clipboard/mouse), finally opened "new folder" and click ctrl v to paste the items in the folder. Then you can zip or an e-mail to the other PC or copy to a USB key, discharge to the other PC, on your desktop, open TB here, minimize, so you can see your desktop, create a new folder 'Archives' and repeat the steps in reverse to transfer them from the Office in TB. I hope this helps.

• Unable to archive the imported messages of previous profile

  During the installation of a new computer, I copied my old profile into a new installation of Thunderbird manually moving all mail from the old profile folder files to the new profile folder.

  I found that I can't use the mail on any e-mail archiving functionality that was initially received under the old profile. The keyboard shortcut is not working, the button of archive is not displayed with the message and the menu option is disabled.

  All messages received after that I have configure Thunderbird are able to archive correctly.

  I discovered the issue:

  I was looking through the file of mailbox "Inbox", trying to find the differences between the messages that I could check in and what I couldn't.

  I found a difference between some messages in their headers. The header "X-key account:" has the value "Account2" for messages that I could not archive and "account10" for the messages that I could check in.

  I updated the messages with "Account2" to "account10" and open Thunderbird. I went to messages I couldn't previously archive and found that they can now be archived.

• BlackBerry smartphones not wiping data and restore the original downgrade OS?

  I have a 8820 with a damaged e-mail folder. I want to wipe the data. I upgraded to OS 4.5. I want to assure you that the wiping and restore to original settings will not downgrade my OS. It seems logical that this will not happen, but I want to make sure.

  Thank you!

  You are right. Wiping just clears the data of the device, not the operating system.

  The only way to downgrade the OS is to go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall the newer operating system. You will then need to download and install an earlier version of the operating system. Then, you will need to go into the Application Loader to load the older operating system on the device.
