• Best Linux for host? ... and ESX vs. Workstation

  I've been running VM Workstation since 1999.  I just built a physical machine for my lab at home I want to only run on VMS.  I have two questions.

  What is the best linux for VM Workstation 8 host?

  I went the compatitibility guide at:

  http://PartnerWeb.VMware.com/comp_guide2/search.php?deviceCategory=software & testConfig = 17

  and put:

  and it happens with Mandriva and SUSE.  It's weird.  No Red Hat?  No Ubuntu?  No Debian?  Mandriva is a French company funded by the Russians, which hurts me a little inside, and SUSE is not free.  It makes me wonder if this page is current.

  Which leads to my next question. ... Are there not some hypervisor product that does not even need a host operating system?  What ESX?  I can get all the features of Workstation (snapshots, etc.) with this hypervisor product? ... and of course, I can't spend $2,000 for a lab at home.   It seems to me that to remember that one of these products is free,... was it ESXi?  Can someone explain the differences between the workstation and ESX in a few sentences.  But if I need the version ESX is $2000, then too bad.

  I suppose that, ideally, I would like to install Workstation as a hypervisor (no host operating system).  Is there anyway to achieve this?  What do you suggest me?

  ESXi uses a very minimal video driver - a computer display virtual itself is not possible
  This is why you must use a second physical machine to view virtual machines

  inside the virtual machines, you get only a virtual video card - playing the latest games inside a virtual machine is not possible

  > or that, it cannot run on an i7? ... once again, really?

  This is not correct - do not know who told you that...
  ESXi is very picky when it comes to disk controllers - fake Raids and cheap stuff is not supported - but it will work with normal SATA drives

• LAPN300 - the best configuration for 3 access points, while using the same SSID

  Hi all

  What is the best configuration for 3 x LAPN300 located in various places around my house of 3 floors, access points if I want just one SSID?

  I did some initial research which suggests that I can use the same SSID on all three, as long as they are on different channels. 1, 6 and 11 for example. In theory, then, as I wander around the House the client machine must auto swap to the AP with the signal stronger.

  What do you think? What is the best way or do, or could suggest you something else?

  As an aside... If I decided to create a second SSID for the guests at home, I would also want to add wireless isolation to this SSID. How would that be managing the DHCP server on the local network? How would be asked to connect to the SSID has never get an IP if they have been isolated from other clients on the local network?  Besides, how they see the router? The ANNUAL lets you specify exceptions to this isolation for this feature?  Alternatively, as I suspect, is the right isolation feature isolate them from other WLAN, not the LAN clients customers?

  I did some testing and configuration of the AP with the same SSID and security will do what you want. Don't worry about setting the channel because the auto channel setting works with these devices and automatically adjusts the spacing between the appropriate channels.

  Recommendation of the VPN_user is what you need if you want to isolate the SSID comments from the rest of your network clients.

  Isolation of SSID of the AP will guard only wireless devices to communicate with each other on the same SSID on which it is enabled.

• What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

  What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

  Enjoying inputs.

  Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

  serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

  If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

• Best configuration for Pegasus J4(up to 4 HDD/SSD's) - RAID or JBOD?

  I'm looking through a configuration of Pegasus J4 Thunderbolt disc for installation in first, until I can buy a more robust solution (probably Pegasus2). I am trying to determine what would be the ideal configuration for best performance on the casing of the drive. I apologize for my ignorance, but from the point of view of creation, that I'd better be using 4 small SSD (120-240 GB each), set up as JBOD? or should I use 7200 rpm disks, configure in RAID 0? Connection via Thunderbolt.

  Thanks in advance.

  Jordan

  See Page Tweakers - External Drives

  If you read carefully, you will notice that 2 SSD is max Thunderbolt connection, then add more SSD does not improve performance at all, will cost more.

  Four conventional disks 7200 RPM in raid0 will be released also (almost) max the Thunderbolt bus, but are much cheaper and offer much more space. JBOD is not desirable, because of lagging performance.

  4 x 1 TB HARD drive @ $70 = $280 less than 2 x 256 GB Samsung SSD Pro 840 @ $220 = $440

• Best Configuration for running adobe Premiere Pro CS3

  I have a 4 HARD disk system and the ability to run RAID.  What is the best configuration to run Adobe first pro CS3.  I want to be able to get the best performance out of my system.

  I wouldn't do 1 or 2 even if it is possible.

  3 won't be necessary if you use uncompressed images.  With any standard camera format, a single modern drive will be more quickly, even for multiple streams of data.

  Work terribly hard to get a RAID 0 array there somewhere, but man, it is really not necessary in most cases and may even be a bad idea for a good number of cases.

• best configuration for Small Business Server

  I'm looking for advice on HW and SW recommendations for a small business.  We have 15 users, 20 computers and 3 printers.  I currently have a single Windows Server 2008.  I want to run a domain controller main for all users, file sharing, print server, possibly Windows Update Center and eventually MS Exchange.  I am trying to decide the best configuration of HW with a fairly cheap budget.   I currently have 1 I7 based server with 4 GB of Ram, several IBM servers, P4 306 m (I have 4 +), and a lot of hard drives (all in a half rack).  I also need a decent backup system.

  Can anyone recommend the best configuration of HW player and hard?  Should I analyze server roles?  With respect to the SW, I'm a non-profit and use Windows Server 2008 (at a discount)

• How to configure Windows to allow the parameters and software downloads to appear in system and standard user administrator?

  I HAD TO REINSTALL WINDOWS VISTA (SERVICE PACK 2) DUE TO A TROJAN HORSE THAT ATTACKED MY SYSTEM. I USED THE SUPPLIED RECOVERY DISCS SET WITH MY COMPUTER BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN PRE-LOADED AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED SOFTWARE FACTORY. WHEN I WAS SETTING UP USER ACCOUNTS, I CREATED THE ACCOUNT TO ADMINISTRATOR (WITH PASSWORD) AND A STANDARD USER ACCOUNT. WHEN I CHANGE THE SETTINGS IN MY COMPUTER IN EACH ACCOUNT, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THERE EITHER ACCOUNT. I DO CHANGES IN PARAMETERS OF EACH ACCOUNT INDIVIDUALLY. CAN I SET UP SO THAT WHEN I CHANGE THE SETTINGS, IT WILL DO THAT IN THE TWO ACCOUNTS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

  original title; HOW TO CONFIGURE WINDOWS TO ALLOW THE SETTINGS AND SOFTWARE DOWNLOADS APPEAR IN ADMIN SYSTEM AND STANDARD USER?

  Most PC manufacturers who don't give you the disks give you a partition on your hard drive that contains the images of the disks so that you can burn yourself.  You should check out.

  When you say "change settings in both accounts' exactly what are the parameters what do you mean?  It is normal that many Windows settings to be on a per user basis.  For example. the desktop background is a 'definition' which is completely independent for each user.  You cannot set up a wallpaper for a user and hope that it displays desktop of another user.

• Best way to copy the ISO and Template on another VMFS volume?

  Since we are running out of disk space, we would like to change the size of a volume VMFS existing 500 GB to 400 GB.  This VMFS volume contains ISO images and virtual machine templates.

  We have already created a new 400 GB size VMFS volume and would like to know what is the best way to copy the ISO and models from the 500GB to 400GB size VMFS volume.  Can we use WinSCP or use the command line?

  Your advie is requested.

  The more simple and quick to copy ISO files store data to another, is to use Veeam FastSCP. It copies data directly from one host to another. And it's free (http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esxi-fastscp.html)

• Best practices for the SSD + RAID?

  What should be the size of parity when running 2 x Samsung 850 SSD Pro connected to a H710P in a R720xd PE in a matrix RAID 1?

  Do not find as much information online information for this...

  Is there a whitepaper for it? something that could tell me the best settings when executing the SSD on the PERC H710 (p) - essentially all the configurable parameters when creating a DG/VD.

  Hello

  JW

  What should be the size of parity when running 2 x Samsung 850 SSD Pro connected to a H710P in a R720xd PE in a matrix RAID 1?

  RAID 1 is not a type of parity and you do not set a size of parity. I think you're talking about the size of the stripe.

  The size of the band does not have a big difference on a RAID 1. The size of distribution is most important when you spread data on multiple disks. The size of the stripe can have an impact on the performance of the table by spreading the data on the disks or by limiting access to the data to a single drive. By changing the band size, you can do your berries of access time or improve sequential access times. Smaller block sizes are generally better for sequential reads/writes as they spread usually given on several drives, and larger sizes of band segment are generally better for fast access times because the data, you have access to are usually on a single disc.

  In short, unless you are going to hire a consultant to analyze your use of data to recommend settings then I would leave it on by default. Change the size of the default distribution segment only would probably be useful in an environment of database with use of compatible file size and a RAID level across several drives.

  Thank you

• z820: looking for a software raid manage and view the status of disks hard raid

  HP z820 workstation,

  I'm looking for raid management software

  

  Thank you.

  I suggest that you follow the steps listed in the HP Document: "Z - series Workstation detection and fixing a hard drive failure within the RAID Controller utility" in the URL: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04474148#N10829 you can find instructions how to enter each State type of RAID (Intel RST, 2308 LSI and LSI 9260-8i controller - It's the main RAID controllers usually associated with the HP Z820 workstation according to the particular configuration you ordered). Note that in most of the cases described in this document, you need to access the configuration of RAID controller during computer startup steps, by pressing CTRL + I (for Intel RST) or CTRL + C (for LSI 2308) or CTRL + H (by LSI 9260-8i). The installation program uses the RAID controller firmware and does not require to install complex inside Windows software, because it is done outside of the Windows operating system before starting. Find more details in "HP Z220 SFF, CMT Z220, Z420, Z620 and Z820 workstations maintenance and Service Guide" in the URL: http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c04205252-1.pdf , in the devices of annex b: Setup RAID (pp. 161-171) all types of RAID controllers that are relevant at the workplace Z820 are discussed.

• Best configuration for new LR install on the machine with SSD & HDD

  Hello

  I have been in photography for years, but never got myself sorted to manage all the pictures I managed to take. So from Lightroom.

  I am a new machine with a fast 256 GB SSD, a 2 TB HARD drive, and a clean installation of LR. I also have a NAS I use for backups, but I won't probably LR actively talk to him because it is only accessible via the wireless network. My collection of photos is already in the order of 500 GB, in order to put all my photos on the SSD won't work.

  With this in mind, what is the best way to configure LR with this Setup to get the best performance out of it? The main purpose of the box will be for photography, so I don't mind too much if it uses most of the SSD.

  Tips are welcome. Thank you!

• best judgment for paragraph styles, object styles and character styles

  I want to learn the criteria difference and use of paragraph styles, object styles and character styles. I know how to use them, but know about the best judgment and context, when you use would be better. Can anyone recommend links? I've been using adobe. Please don't suggest books.

  Paragraph styles are whole paragraphs.

  Character styles are letters or isolated words. Do not use the long of an entire paragraph. Do not set all the attributes, only those who are different for the properties of the paragraph Style. Unlike Quark Xpress, in InDesign are character Styles used only for the difference of isolated words.

  Paragraph styles can include the character automatically Style: Styles, GREP, nested Styles, initial letters, chips automatic & numbers and line styles.

  Object styles , set the frame of the object. They include separate definitions of all of the object, the stroke and fill.

  Object styles can also be applied to images in a frame and groups.

  Object styles may also include in the following paragraph Style and a style of paragraphs in automatic way.

  Object styles have several categories, you can choose which category is relevant to apply. For example, it is possible to apply the first style object to give the stroke and fill and apply a different object style to format the corners only and then apply the next. (With this method last only the applied object Style is linked).

  Styles of the opportunity to make global changes in a document. If you build in a smart way, they are a huge time saver. They can be stored in the CC libraries or libraries with objects that are applied to them. If you have created once these styles, you can use them again, and with one or two clicks, you can make their own to new document.

  My recommendation: the habit of Styles, name them always with the same names that it helps you to be accustomed to them and to work faster, much faster.

  There are more models: Table Styles, Styles of cell, the Master Pages and color chart.
