• bare metal Windows Installer 10

  If I do a "bare metal" upgrading to W10, how then install the HP software features I want, like sleep and extended features, the HP documentation, etc.

  Note: I don't have the backup of HP, I think the other backup software works erfectly well.  I don't want no other option of HP.

  M $ 'check PC' concludes that the Folio 13-1016TU can run W10 and all my programs and satisfactory equipment.  In my opinion this Upgrade Advisor is leaves much to be desired, and I was informed that his performance is the responsibility of MS rather than program and material suppliers.

  Yes, the laptop should still run Win10 with no major problems, even though as you say, the Upgrade Advisor may not always be accurate.

  I would create a picture as you do already.

• 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.

• Windows 2008 R2 Server error Stop 7B after Bare Metal Restore of VM.

  I tried to make a bare metal restore of a physical server Windows 2008 R2 on a virtual computer, and although restoration is fine, when I restart the virtual machine after the restore, I get a STOP: 0x0000007B (see screenshot) error.  I was able to find all kinds of '' correction '' online, but none really solve the problem.  Someone at - it else done this and can provide a solution?  Thank you.

  As for your suggestion concerning the audit of the controller and then using vSphere converter, do you want to say I point the converter on the VMDK 'broken' and choose a Machine configuration option?

  What you can do with VMware Converter, is to run the Machine "set up" against the power off VM (simply select the virtual computer after connecting to the host or vCenter). I mentioned to check the controller before doing this, because this controller is the default configuration for the operating system you use.

• 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!

  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

• W530 Bare Metal with ESXi 5.1 - Possible!

  Guyz!

  This will be good news for all those who want to wear metal ESXi W530 5.1.

  With simple clicks of customization, the whole installation runs smooth and Nice.

  For those who are interested. Answer in the thread and a lot of fun to share with you the way to do it.

  (I can't just download the image, it will be great if I can put it in a place).

  You get a few things to do.

  1. the ISO original Esxi 5.1. Download after free registration of VMware.

  2. a customizer of ESXi (http://www.v-front.de/p/esxi-customizer.html#download), this helps you to install a VIB in the ISO in order to go through the installation

  3. download the map here VIB (http://shell.peach.ne.jp/~aoyama/wordpress/download/net-e1000e-2.1.4.x86_64.vib).

  4. just the disk with the ISO to boot you careated. Everything works fine

• OMIVV 3.0 & Dell R630 Bare Metal deployment error: apply ISO has failed, the Exception occurred * servicetag *.

  Hello

  We try to use OMIVV on a new deployment of R630 Dell servers with dual deployment ESXi 6 SD card.

  After deployment is running the server restarts but does start the ISO, iDRAC IP is in another network to OMIVV but there is no restrictions on communications between network iDRAC and the OMIVV box.

  Looking at the firewall no attempt is made to connect to the iDRAC network file sharing, but there is a small amount of comms to OMIVV box.

  No traffic is blocked.

  This doesn't seem to work at all and the information about why a failure has produced are non-existent.

  Everyone sees these questions?

  Thank you

  Please make sure that the IP OMIVV eth0 network address is available to the iDRAC network IP address and try to deploy the hypervisor.

• Bare metal 10 Windows Installer after the upgrade free on-site

  I wanted to start a new thread on the specific problems with the reactivation of Windows 10 after obtaining your free upgrade by upgrade Win7 or Win8 on-site.

  Someone has actually managed to make this work?

  Have you taken steps to clone all parameters (such as the MAC address) of the upgrade virtual machine?

  Have you had to call MS?

  Please chime...

  Someone in my organization wrote the following:

  For what should be obvious reasons, Microsoft does not publish details of their activation. However, several of the VM (.vmx, hard) files contain several unique hardware ID such as Virtual NIC MAC addresses, serial numbers virtual HD, a bios UUID, etc, all these values can be read by the guest OS. We know that the serial numbers of equipment like these are used to generate the hardware hash that Microsoft uses to determine the identity of an activation system, although the exact algorithms are secret.

  We also know that when you copy a virtual machine to a new location VMware Workstation will ask if it has been moved or copied. If you select 'Copy' it generates a new UUID news addresses MAC, etc. and the system requires reactivation because as Windows is concerned, it's a different system or a major change enough 'material' to qualify as such. If you select "I moved it", it doesn't generate a new hardware ID and the system remains activated.

  I'll need backup/snapshot my VM activated prior to the test, but it goes without saying that the start of the install media (Microsoft has a tool to generate or download the ISOs) and shape (or diskpart own) the virtual drive before doing a clean install on a virtual machine enabled previously, as you would on a physical system they wanted to rebuild , will perform a clean installation of the virtual machine and allow a reactivation by license terms for Microsoft. Assuming that automatic resettlement activation works as Microsoft said, is installed on the same virtual hardware as long as you don't tell VMware to generate new material ID's

  https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

  On the reverse, there is also this 'feature' 'factory reset' which also supposedly returns it to a 'clean install' state you said could be another possibility.

• Bare metal Workstation?

  Is it possible to run my computer without going through a host operating system?

  Is not in my computer, then how about in ESX?

  I want to turn on my computer and then launch the VM and alternate between them... is - this feasible?

  Thank you!

  Joe

  ESXi is re-usable. You must make sure that your workstation is on the HCL. Just keep in mind that there is no GUI in ESXi you need to remote connect vsphere client from another PC.

  VMware workstation requires a host operating system in order to work. the only way is to make the host operating system as thin as possible by removing unnecessary services, applications.

• First Bare Metal hypervisor. Best practices

  Hi, I'm buiding a supermicro superserver 7046t - NTR + w / 2 x Xeon E5620 CPU 48 GB DDR3 1333 ECC REG RAM (6X8Go) 8 x 1 TB 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA drives. I intend to install the free version of ESXi. I need to put as much Windows XP VLPD here that the hardware allows. I can extend up to 144 GB of RAM if necessary. The Windows XP VLPDs run 512 MB or 1024 MB of RAM 8 GB virtual drives. The VLPDs averaged a light load, but there are gusts moderate activity.  The night before I start installing ESXi and I realized that I still have questions.

  With 8 drives 1 TB should I do two-Bay RAID 10 install ESXi on one and use them for the VLPDs and mirror 2 for ESXi and 2 to Exchange files and then put VLPDs on RAID 10?

  With 48 GB memory vivid 1024Mo how Windows XP VLPDs can I expect to run?

  How many people find the SATA drives from the bottleneck?

  Is - this true statement

  The free version of ESXI will support 2 quad core processors, but to switch to 6 or 8 core processors ESXi requires a new license.

  Thank you guys

  More pins the better performance you will get.  Also, make sure you do diskalignment.  ALSO do not format the VMFS on installation make in vSphere Client so that you have the question about your VMFS.  See this link for more information it is something that can really eat your drive! http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/04/08/aligning-your-VMS-virtual-harddisks/

  See you soon,.

• Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine

  I have two laptops.

  The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation.  After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.

  Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."

  I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.

  He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)

  Thanks for all your comments and responses.

• Metal nu supply - failure to 'BONES to prepare for the installation of network.

  Hi all
  
  We have successfully up to 12 c, registered a management of LMOS server - but I would now get the bare metal, provision of work.
  
  Company > Provisioning & patching > Bare Metal Provisioning > Infrastructure tab, we have implemented the server of the scene, DHCP server, boot server & deposit RPM - all (according to us!) properly.
  
  The server RPM in a box of OEL 5 on LSN and defined as server YUM, subscription channels OEL5 & LMO. These were then downloaded into/var/www/yum by YUM script. We can browse the repo on HTTP - everything looks OK.
  
  Under the tab "Mutations", we then available to a LMO server, fill in all the necessary fields, nothing special. We check the boxes to perform the prerequisite check on stage and boot servers - these pass.
  
  That we completed, submit work and to monitor progress - go us beyond "activities preliminary staging.
  
  However, the job fails to 'run OS Staging Directive"- specifically the task of"Preparing the OS for network installation".
  
  The log file shows the following error: that we are mistaken:
  
  wget http://yum.yumserver.local/yum/OracleVM/OVM3/3.0.2/base/x86_64/isolinux/vmlinuz vmlinuz - O
  Connection to yum.yumserver.local | 192.168.252.53 |: 80... connected.
  Query HTTP sent, awaiting response... 404 not found
  
  Our basic URL yum repository has been defined as http://yum.yumserver.local/yum/OracleVM/OVM3/3.0.2/base/x86_64 on the Infrastructure tab - that we think is correct?
  
  We can connect to the fine BASE URL at the same time the Enterprise Manager server and staging server.
  
  Any ideas?

  Hi Jeff,

  I listed down an example of configuration to the tftp Protocol & dhcp server as well as the values of flow that we expect in the infrastructure tab:

  TFTP root directory (in etc/xinetd.d/tftp): / tftpboot
  Input file name in the dhcp file (/ etc/dhcpd.conf): "linux-install/pxelinux.0".
  located pxelinux.0 to the: / tftpboot/linux-install

  Values of infrastructure tab:
  Startup directory: / tftpboot/linux-install
  file DHCP: /etc/dhcpd.conf

  Thank you

• Customer Beach on OSXS balls

  TL; DR: connections to the server to slow down to a crawl for the customers, without apparent reason.
  

  ________________________________________________________________________

  
  

  Server: last model Intel Xserve quad Xeon 2.26 GHz, 12 GB of RAM, with all updates linking El Cap 10.11.6/Server 5.1.7 plant internal SSD. Accessed files are on separate disk. Bare metal system installation and reconfig a few months ago (server were previously running Snow Leopard). Our services enabled only for customers are the sharing of files with Time Machine. OD turned off, since we do not use the services in need.

  Network: Wired cat 6 GigE via managed HP happen, more wireless for mobile devices. About 60 connections total network at any time. Xserve bonded (i.e. dual GigE) ethernet link to pass. Comcast Business Internet connection is theoretically 150 / 20 Mbit/s down/up but very variable in practice.

  Customers: over 30 Macs, the recent OS versions (with the exception of the one with 10.6.8). Some connected via AFP, some SMB. About 8 Basic users mostly on iMac 27 "with a lot of RAM launch Adobe CC files from the server on the network and work that way. The remaining users are usually connected to the server but not actively using it most of the time.

  Problem: drastic periodic slowdowns for the users of the database. Normal activities, like save or open files on the network now take place at a glacial pace, accompanied by the dreaded spinning beachball. All basic users are affected when this happens. Applications concerned are CC Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), but that's what these basic users work with almost exclusively, so may be negligible. However, these applications are supposed to be quite chatty (phone home, automatic backup, etc.). Often but not always occurs towards the end of the day.

  Comments: server restart usually clears the problem... until next time. So sometimes we are OK for a few days, sometimes not. No correlation is apparent with AFP or SMB connections. Server logs do not show everything that attracts my attention, but they are still quite enigmatic for mere mortals. Server.app statistics show very light server load to cpu (< 20%), memory (< 6 GB), network (< 25 MB/s). Activity Monitor shows no runaway process. Server disks SMART status is good. Basically, our Xserve hardware is in good shape and just stroll along most of the time.

  At this point, I'm desperate for ideas or suggestions for a methodology arrive at a solution.

  IME, you get these symptoms if the switch is down packages. AFP (I'm not sure about SMB) has a crucial ACK packet with a long (30 s IIRC) timeout for a reply. If your network loses the package, or its response, the customer just locks 30 seconds at a time. Packet-sniffing (tcpdump or wire Shark) with filters would demonstrate if that was the problem.

  If your users have to deal with the volume of server as a local drive and open the files "in place" for editing and then performance is likely to be disappointing. It's much better from many points of view to download to a local drive, to do the work, then download again.

  If you don't have it already, made your clocks menu display time in seconds and give each desktop a block notes and pen each make one not time displayed precise (HH) this beach balling happens. You can then refine the journal article, you must study and see if all the machines are affected at the same time.

  I fought a problem like that for months. It has not been resolved until the network team replaces the HP switch with a Juniper one.
