Bare metal to VM and network lost settings

Customer site, IBM System x 3650 running VMware ESX Server 3i in turn four servers to Windows Server 2003.

Customer has decided on this approach for the DRP.  Three of the servers have been made VMs of bare metal servers back to Headquarters.  A problem noted with raising in the virtual machine environment is that they have lost the original network settings - which is logical given the fact that the adapter is different.  But it would be nice if it were the case that is static, gateway IP address and DNS settings could be part of the virtual network adapter settngs machine.  What are the options?  This is adjustable during the construction of the virtual machine?  Or is it possible to create a virtual adapter to a bare metal Server?  Others?

A newbie question - please be patient...

Thank you!

David

As Erik said, remove all the drivers and hardware (com ports, serial, floppy disk, NIC ports, etc.) of the virtual machine. Among the pitfalls that you may experience after the P2V is sometimes the old IP settings are required to and you can even assign the same virtual IP address to the new network card because windows has this IP linked to the old physical card. That's when you need to run the "show no present devices ', so that you can remove the old nic in Device Manager for the news of the intellectual property contained in the output register. You might have to restart the virtual machine that you can assign the IP address to the new virtual card.

Thank you

    I am running Windows XP on a Dell PC. I accidentally downloaded VAFmusic2 when downloading an update to Adobe Flash Player (I think). The VAF is presented as an add-on. I "took it" of my extensions add-on. I also "removed" a program called VAF since my registration on the control panel.

    my system does not start upwards - don't stop progression blue bar that goes round and round.  I can boot into safe mode and safe mode with networking mode.

    Hello

    As you are able to boot to the desktop in Mode safe, it means that the third-party application prevents the computer from starting in normal mode. To check you can configure the computer to clean start State and then try to boot into normal mode and check what is happening. To set up its own start-up follow the link below.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    If the problem does not continues when the computer is in the clean start State follow the steps listed to identify which application is causing the problem.

    Note: When you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 7 article to start on normal startup.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Vista firewall and network settings

    Greetings,

    Running Vista Ultimate OS and for the McAfee Security Center security system, providing the Dell system.  Security Center is a brand product (McAfee) Dell.  It includes a firewall.  It is generally not recommended to run two firewalls at the same time on the same system.  In this case, my preference is to disable the Windows Vista firewall and manage only the McAfee Security Center Firewall.

    However, by doing so, effects of undesirable changes in the Windows Vista network configuration.  Specifically, disable the Vista Firewall automatically turns on the discovery network and file sharing in the network settings of Vista, which is not desired.

    The question:

    What is the solution to run Windows Vista with the firewall (Vista) integrated offshore, the McAfee Security Center Firewall and discovery network and settings (network) off the coast of file sharing?

    By the way, my troubleshooting on this has included disable McAfee Firewall to determine if she could be causing a conflict with the firewall and Windows network settings.  Apparently not, because even with McAfee firewall off it is still not possible to disable the Windows Firewall (in this case, No firewall is running) without network discovery and sharing settings being switched automatically on files.

    Again, the goal is to run the McAfee Firewall with the network discovery and parameters (network) off the coast of file sharing and Windows Vista firewall off the coast.

    Thank you-

    Network discovery is enabled or disabled in vista network and sharing Center by activating or deactivating vista firewall rules. You can maybe re-create these rules in the McAfee Firewall, although they will be not be enabled / disabled from the network sharing Center. The following site will show how to display vista firewall rules:
    http://NPR.Freei.me
    Are you sure there is no setting in McAfee to block the sharing of files and network discovery?

    Note: the rules for sharing printers and files, and network discovery are clearly identified in the vista firewall.

  • Can I shrink a logical drive and not the extended partition to a bare metal restore to a smaller drive?

    The current configuration is a Dell T310 with a S300 controller, with all locations 4 hot filled with SAS drives.  The operating system is SBS 2008 (2008 Server/Vista), I intend to change the controller of S300 (software) controller, a controller (hardware) H700.  My concern is that the H700 brings readers a little smaller in size.

    The typical arrangement of Dell's diagnosis, followed by a recovery partition partition (E :), followed by the system partition (C :), followed by a partition with a logical volume (d).  If I use Diskpart to shrink the D: 'partition', he let me with free space, not allocated.  Thus, it effectively reduces the logical drive, and the extended partition stays the same size as it was, with no way to reduce it.

    The question is, if I shrink the logical D: drive and not the extended partition and then get backups of the system, I'll be able to a bare metal restore on the smallest virtual disk of the H700?

    That's what I did:
    -Released the S300 controller and 4, 450 GB, 15 000 rpm Cheetah RAID-5
    -Replace the controller H700 and 2, 2 TB 7200 RPM in RAID-1 Constellations

    Results:
    -Eliminates the possibility of falling on a disk space issue when restoring
    -Increased the amount of available disk space.
    M ' left with 2 free hard drive for future expansion bays.

  • Aspire D255E the network proxy settings cannot be detected

    I have asked about this before, but can't find my original message. My netbook was working fine until suddenly I lost connectivity.  A pop-up window on the logo of connection in the status bar - bars with a red X on them - says the network proxy settings cannot be detected. When I click on the small wrench, he also detected, but there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.

    I tried the fixes in the field of netbooks this site troubleshooting, but they did not work.  Click on the logo of connection, it says that Windows cannot automatically detect the network proxy settings. Under detection details, it gives the file 1A40D7A3-7CDE-40F4-195E4ADD6327 name. Diagnose.Admin.0.etl for the network diagnostics log. for other network configuration and newspapers, it is NetworkConfiguration.cab.

    When I login, the popup says that it cannot connect to the Service Notification of events system; also review the system event log. I tried looking for those, but cannot find them.

    Tried the cat, but it has expired. It is free, BTW? I don't have a credit card.

    I also get a message saying that I need to change my Windows Update settings. When I click it, I click on the automatic installation highlighted, but get this message.

    How/why is this happening and what can I do to fix this and prevent this from happening again?

    I really need this issue to be fixed as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

    Thank you, Philetus, I'll try that.

    The toolbars are still on display in your browser?

    If you still have the address bar, right click on any part that is not a text box or the icon, or if you do not like that of any space right click on the three horizontal lines on the right side of the address bar window. This should show some options, click on 'Menu Bar' and the tabs you are missing should appear.

    As a side note, usually if these options are missing, your icon of firefox in the upper left corner of the window should look different (being a rectangular button itself as opposed to an icon), and the 'file', 'Edition', 'Bookmarks', etc., are found after clicking on this button.

    Hope that helps.

  • iPhone 6 more issues activation and network on the latest iOS 9.3.2

    I have an iPhone 6 it is having problems with Activation and networking connectivity. I activated via iTunes and updated to the latest iOS 9.3.2 this morning. The phone remain active for a period of time and then come back to need activation.

    Using WiFi it is full bars but no connection. I'm typing this from my iPad on the same WiFi connection, so not the network. If I turn off WiFi and cell there still no connection. The phone will receive calls (even when stuck in the activation state) and can make calls after you have enabled from iTunes.  She was released a couple of times, but always the same question.

    I tried to erase and reload from iTunes to the top, but the restore function requires that find my iPhone service shut down on the phone and this step requires access to complete network.

    Try the following steps:

    • Try connecting your device to your computer and launch iTunes. Choose your device and click on summary > update.
    • If this does not work, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer and restart your computer.
    • When it restarts load iTunes and try to select your device and click on summary > update again.
    • If this does not work, it's time to try a restore. Press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons on your iPad or your iPhone until iTunes gives you the option to restore your device.
    • When it's over, you can restore a backup, and you should be good to go with 9.3 running iOS.
  • Options, advanced, "there's no ' disk space and network"?
