Beginner looking for best practices to implement my first ESXi server.

Hello, tomorrow I will start my first company ESXi.  I ordered a HP Proliant ML350 with e200i Raid 5 controller.  I bought 4 1 TB Sata disks and plan to put them all in Raid 5 for 3 TB of data storage.  I currently have a file Win2k3 server which has approximately1.5TB of files on several physical disks spread now.  My question is how these data should be moved to the new server?  Should I build a new machine virtual server OS 2003 or 2008 and then allocate all 1.5 + TB I this one VM?  How the data will look like ESXi?  Have I not separated or just 1 virtual players a large?  Or is there a better solution?  What should I do when I start running out of space and should allocate more space to the descent to a certain VM?  I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I'm just a little confused and trying to get all oriented upward when I started on this project in the future.

Thank you very much!

Dave

You can build on Windows Server as shown above, and then create a virtual disk to host your data. You can then use something like copy robo to synchronize the data from your original data source, you could kick off for a weekend and then use robocopy to just capture changes before making your actual failover. Just be aware of the limits that the other person has remarked with the 2 TB. You can select the block maximum size when you create your VMFS datastore for your data drive, otherwise the VMDK max, you create will be a little less then you are looking for.

  • Beginner looking for best practices in configuration in AE CS4 (MacPro 8core)

    Hello

    I am a video editor familiar with FCP and motion, moving in AE CS4 because it's more power in a 3D space. I installed the program and started my basic training of Lynda, but I want to make sure I got the installer so as not to cause problems on the road of.

    For example, in FCP, I use a second drive for makes etc., and a RAID array for FCP files and various media (both imported and exported) organized by project and by type. I intend to do the same for EI, but looking at the AE prefs, I see I can assign memory per CPU etc, and I just want to be sure that I use the Procs and RAM effectively. The machine is a machine of 8-Core MacPro with 12 GB of RAM. The program sees 16 processor cores, so I should split the 10 GB hosting AE to use during these carrots (using the pref multiprocessing tab), or simply let AE understand?

    In addition, I am confused about the overflow Volumes option. What gets put there, when and why?

    Finally, if there is a newsletter along the lines of the Larry Jordan FCP (larryjordan.biz) site I'd reference.

    Thanks for your help.

    Concerning the use of RAM and processor, see the following page:"Performance Tip: don't starve to death your software of RAM '. Following the guidelines there for 12 GB your computer, would you let 2 GB for other applications, perhaps a couple of GB for the trial leading to hold executives preview RAM - leaving you with 2 GB each of four background rendering process.

    Also, don't be fooled. 8-core computer is just an 8-core in After Effects is. The so-called doubling of processor cores created by hyperthreading is not relevant for simultaneous rendering of several images of multiprocessing.

    Regarding overflow volumes, see the following page: "of the volume of overflow and segment settings"

  • I'm looking for 'best practices' tips for a configuration of a project (first CS5.5, Windows 7 Pro)

    I was instructed to update an old corporate video with narration, sounds, graphics and new music.

    Video camera ONLY material that I've had a DVD corporate (NTSC) - the original source material is simply not available. .

    I can rip the DVD in MPEG 2 and import it into first without problem, but I would like to be able to use resolutions higher the updated graphics.

    I intend to export it to Youtube (HD) but can export to DVD or BluRay as well.

    My question really reduced management of sequences.   I tell myself that my sequence settings must be the highest resolution, I expect to work with (Youtube HD or Bluray) which allows you to easily export to lower quality, but I don't really know if it's as simple as that.  Is there a standard method in the industry?  Am I close?

    First may actually use the DVD .vob files, just copy DVDs to hard disk, and then import in first.

    What is the DVD existing video in a 4:3 or 16:9 format? If 4:3, think about how you will work in a program of 16:9. Rather than having the black terminal on the side bars, many publishers will some sort of background to fill this space. A popular solution is to reproduce a bass track, stretch 4:3 video to fill the screen and add Gaussian blur effects. Because the colors/content of the sidebars will correspond to the main video, it's a little disguises the fact that the video is 4:3.

    If you put SD images in a HD program, it will look 'soft' compared to the HD images. As a compromise, you can consider the new edition as 720 p instead of 1080 p program, so that the SD resolution is not to be tense. All the computer video/video YouTube is not interlaced, meaning to sequences and exports should be done as Progressive.

    Flow problem of potential work - if you take the images existing SD from the DVD and it high end in a HD sequence, then export to DVD (SD resolution), the video turned into mush. She was raised, and then again once, dowscaled really kill the quality. May be required to copy the HD sequence in a sequence of SD, difficulty of the problems of size / scale of graphics and titles and DVD for the export of the sequence of SD to avoid the top of range/reduce images SD. Note that the DVD-video is highly compressed, so you already work with a weak source material, recompress again will be a hit in quality in all cases, but certainly avoid the top of range/cut again.

    I don't have Adobe apps in front of me at the moment, but I think that Blu - ray 720 p export options are limited, perhaps 720 p at 59.94 only, not sure. Which may affect your decision to 1080 p and 720 p.

    Hope these tips help you

    Thank you

  • looking for best practices on the display of the data inside a TableView

    I have an app that can extract one ore more of 300,000 lines as a result of a request, and I am their display in a TableView... I use a mechanism to bring the data "off-site", when I do the query, an object with the ID of the lines is set in memory and a 'queryResultKey' went to start asking for the data set.
    The controllers send the queryResultKey saying the DAO that she already results N, the DAO will return X records (from N + 1 to N + J) or less if the total number of records is reached. At this point, records are added to the elements of the table view using an addAll to list related to the itemsProperty table.
    It works very well for early records already, but all of a sudden a Null pointer Exception is raised:

            };
            status.getProgreso().progressProperty().bind(task.progressProperty());
            new Thread((Runnable) task).start();
    So that may be another strategy to simulate (or have) all the registry values are in memory and 'capture only the necessary links' to display them in the TableView?
    Any idea will be useful.

    The first thing I would do here is to check that

    fac.getTesisParaLista(pag.getId(), listaTesis.size())
    

    cannot return null in all circumstances. If it returns null, then it is the source of your exception. In this case, you must add the caution appropriate to your code:

    if (tesisParaincrustar != null) {
                        try {
                            listaTesis.addAll(tesisParaincrustar);
                        } catch (Exception exc) {
                            Logger.getLogger(TablaResultadosController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, exc);
                        }
                        tesisActuales.addAll(tesisParaincrustar);
    }
    

    For the number of thread, you can plan everything which modifies the user interface to run on the Thread of the FX Application using Platform.runLater (...). Note that any data that you pass into that must not be changed elsewhere. If you can do something like:

    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
                        try {
                            listaTesis.addAll(tesisParaincrustar);
                        } catch (Exception exc) {
                            Logger.getLogger(TablaResultadosController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, exc);
                        }
                        tesisActuales.addAll(tesisParaincrustar);
      }
    });
    

    You need to add the 'final' keyword to the declaration of tesisParaincrustar to get this to compile.

    That's fine, assuming that the call to fac.getTesisParaLista (...) returns a new instance of the list each time (i.e. it does not change an existing list).

    You'll end up with only one problem: the condition in your while loop (...) refers to listaTesis.size (). Given that this list is now updated on a different thread to the thread of the while loop (...) management. This can (and probably won't be) cause the loop to terminate at the wrong time. You can adjust the condition while (...) so it does not refer to this list (for example, advance calculate how many things must be read, give this number to your implementation of the task and use it in the while condition (...).)

    There are actually two rules for multithreading in JavaFX:
    1. do not access the user interface outside the FX request Thread. This includes data related to the user interface structures. I guess at some point you have called tableView.setItems (listaTesis), so listaTesis should be considered as part of the user interface.
    2. don't run long running on the Thread of the FX Application tasks.

    In trying to comply with rule 2, you have violated rule 1.

    The incremental updates to a list that appears in a background thread is one of the most delicate uses of the task. Read the documentation of the API for task (http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/concurrent/Task.html): the example of "PartialResultsTask" under "a task that returns partial causes" is an example of what you're trying to do.

  • Qosmio X 770 - are looking for best free video player to play with 2D to 3D movie

    I have a Qosmio X 770 with NVidia 3D playback. I'm looking for the best free video player for playback of video clips 2D to 3D.

    Toshiba Video Player works fine, but I can't get it to play files in MP4 - AVC format. Is it possible to add codecs so it will play other formats?

    NVIDIA 3D Vision Player don't play all formats but when in 3D mode, there is no access to the commands. Volume can be set with the function keys and video can be suspended with combinations of keys that do not forget, but you can not fast to the front/back or access the slider to change the video position.

    Both are reasonable solutions, but none is perfect. Is there a better option out there? I tried StereoscopicPlayer but could not operate and it is limited to 5 minutes of play in any case.

    Both are reasonable solutions, but none is perfect.

    Software freeware as a perfect solution?
    I don't think you will get this software just for free...

    How to convert 2D to 3D in 2D to 3D converters movies?
    The KM Player supports also the 2D to 3D feature but does not support all formats... you have to pay for the full version get full support.
    Of course as large PowerDVD, but not for free.

  • Just looking for best way to do... 2 data joined tables

    looking for advice this.

    using oracle 11 g.

    I have data im going to use in a view to update TABLE1 monthly.im going to see all these data via php in a web page.

    I would like to add a few modifiable of table2 values who will join table1.

    -drop the table1 table:

    create table table1)

    number of value1,

    Number of value2,

    number of value3,

    Number of VALUE4,

    number of Value5

    );

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (1119,4,54,772,643);

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (22,345,55,278,446);

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (314,193,75,542,676);

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (13,396,59,232,670);

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 (VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3, VALUE4, VALUE5) VALUES (41,2003,505,232,7096);

    -select * from table1

    create the table2 table)

    VCLE NUMBER,

    NUMBER OF VERSION_NUM,

    COMMENTAIRES1 VARCHAR2 (50).

    comments2 varchar2 (50)

    );

    -select * from table2

    Vcle in table2 is a concatenation of value1, value2, value3 on table1.

    So the end result is on the web page of all the values in table 1, unmodifiable, 2 reviews in table2 fields that can be changed. A user can change these fields, then they will save in table2 with the key of concatenation. the reason why I want to do like this, with a second table is because whenever a user changes these fields I want to insert again to occur in this table, not an update, which will add a trigger, I have a new version number. This sounds like a mistake to do it this way?

    The strategy of the concatenation is a mistake.

    Concatenation requires strings, then you would be conversion 3 numbers to strings to concatenate, then convert it to a number stored in table2.

    If I insert = 11-v1, v2 = 11, v3 = 11 then insert v1 = 1, v2 = 11, v3 = 111.  I generates the same Vcle and either corrupt your data or make it impossible to tell what row in table1 = 111111 Vcle should concern.

    A substitution used as primary key in table 1 key is a way to fix this design.

    I also want to upgrade my hard drive of at least 20 Gb, but I think it will be easier

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them what a memory module is compatible with your laptop. I found that PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) is certainly usable for Tecra 8000.

    Please be careful because all modules may not be recognized by BIOS correctly.

    It is possible that 256 MB RAM PA3069U - 1 M 25 is compatible but I'm not sure about this. Pick up information by the Service partner before buy you one.

    Kind regards!

    two does not work because the uses of BB level JAVA does not support for each.

    one, there is no point of recording mArray in localArray. And performance wise there really isn't much difference between call .length vs len, so .length is fine.

    zero is more common, and it is good to use. Also usually in a loop for, you will see i ++ instead of ++ I, but in this case, it makes a difference.
