Best practices for controlling Remote Sites ESX servers

Hi all

I was wondering what the best practices or the options are for the management of the ESX servers in remote offices or branch.  I know that you can always use the VI to control on the site server, but what happens if you want to use some of the functions of the virtual Center?  How remotely manage and leverage capacity of Virutal Center in remote sites or branch offices, since you can't have Virutal Center installed in a domain.

Other then a VPN dedicated to all remote offices or a branch is there another way to use Virtual Center to remotely manage the ESX servers in remote offices or branch?

What are your current plans DR if the main site is going to host VC?

You can run your VC in a VM and have power clone on a remote site or both incase of total failure.

Then with the help of RCL etc. under the texiwill recommend and/or vMotion VM VC to other sites if necessary.

  • Best practices for several page site

    Hello!

    I'm working on a creation of website entirely in Flex 3.

    What is the best way to implement several pages because I don't want loding all at the same time?

    Should I do a mxml 'parent', say main.mxml (swf later) that load other pages to a VBox where they should show?

    Is there a better way?

    Thank you!

  • Best practices for deferred loading collection once but ensuring there?

    I'm confused on best practices for managing the "setup" of the form, where I need a remote call to occur once only once for the form, but I also need to make use of this collection for a combobox that will change when different lines in the DataGrid or clicked. Easier if I just explain...

    1. You click on a row in a datagrid control to modify an object (for this example we will say it is an "employee")
    2. The form you go must have a collection of objects 'Department' charged by a remote call. This collection of departments should only occur once, since it is not common for them to change. The departments collection is used to fill a combobox in form.
    3. You need to understand what Department of the comboBox control is the property selectedIndex by iterating over the departments and find one that fits the employee.department.id

    Individually, I know how I can do all of the above, but because of the asynchronous nature of Flex, I'm having hard time setting up things. Here are a few questions...

    My first thought was just put the loading of the departments in an init() method on the employeeForm who would load as an event on the form creationComplete(). On the component page grid when the event handler by clicking a line of fire, I then calls the setup() method on my employeeForm which stands at which selectedIndex to set to the combobox control looking at the departments.

    The problem is the resultHandler for the load of the departments could not returned (so departments could not be there when "setUp" is called), but I can't put my business logic to determine the correct combobox in the departmentResultHandler because it would mean that I would always have whenever I don't want the fire of the call to the remote server object.

    I have to miss a single best practice? Suggestions welcome.

    Hi there rickcr

    It is pretty rough and you need to make a few storage upward, but take a look below.


    http://www.Adobe.com/2006/mxml"layout ="absolute">
       
            Import mx.controls.Alert;
    Import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
               
    private var comboData:ArrayCollection;
               
    private void Setup (): void {}
    If {(comboData)
    Alert.Show ("data are present")
    populateForm()
    } else {}
    Alert.Show ("data not '")
    getData();
    }
    }
               
    private void getData (): void {}
    comboData = new ArrayCollection();
    The result of this call, the installer again
    }
               
    private function populateForm (): void {}
    fill out your form
    }
    ]]>
       

       
       
           
           

           
           

       

    I think this example type of watch you want.  When you first click on tab 2 there is no data.  When you click on tab 2 once again, there is. The data for your combo will be stored in comboData.  When the component gets created first the comboData is not instansiated, just romance.  This allows you to say

    If (comboData)

    This means that if the variable contains your data, you can fill out the form.  Initially it is not so now the else condition, you can call your data and return the result of your data then you can say

    comboData = new ArrayCollection(), put the data in it and remember the installation again.  This time comboData is populayed and is so it will run the method populate the form and you can decide which selected item to affect.

    If it is on a large scale you want to look into the creation of a suitable handler class to handle this, but this simple demo shows you can test to see if the data is different.

    Hope it helps and gives you some ideas.

  • I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would like to know the "best practices" for unplugging my computer permanently to the internet and other updates. I thought I would do a clean install of Windows XP, install my Microsoft Works again and nothing else. I would like to effectively transforming my computer into a word processor. He continues more and more slow. I get blue screen errors, once again. I received excellent Microsoft Support when it happened before, but since my computer is around 13 years, I think it is not worth the headache to try to remedy. I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, and my computer would not be able to upgrade. Please, can someone tell me how to make it only a word processor without updates or internet connection? (I already have a new computer with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, it's the computer that I use. The old computer is just sitting there and once a week or so I updates.) I appreciate your time, thank you!

    You can choose which site to reinstall XP.

    Once it is installed, then you do not have to connect what anyone, however, some updates may be required to perform the work, test this by installing work and see if you get an error msg. Except that you should be fine.

  • Just improved m tips on best practices for sharing files on a Server 2008 std.

    The field contains about 15 machines with two domain controllers, one's data is the app files / print etc...  I just upgraded from 2003 to 2008 and want to get advice on best practices for the establishment of a group of file sharing. Basically I want each user to have their their own records, but also a staff; folder. Since I am usually accustomed to using windows Explorer, I would like to know if these actions can be done in the best conditions. Also I noticed on 2008 there is a feature of contacts. How can it be used? I would like to message or send an email to users their file locations. Also, I want to implement an admin at a lower level to handle the actions without making them far in on the server, not sure.

    I read a certain bbut I don't like test direct more because it can cause problems. So basically a way short and neat to manage shares using the MMC, as well as the way that I approach their mail from the server of their actions. Maybe what kind of access cintrol or permissions are suitable also for documents. Also how can I have them use office templates without changing the format of the model.

    This doc mentions specifically that the storage Heartbeat VMKernel port is no longer necessary with ESXi v5.1.  VMware has corrected the problem that made it necessary.

    If you add it to a 5.1 system it will not hurt.  It will take an IP address for each node.

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] Best practices for maintaining a form validation

    Hallo,

    in my application, I need to create a registration form which contains fields that must be validated (for example they should follow a format like e-mail, phone number, tax code,...).

    If the data inserted by the user are ok, a new record in my custom db table Users will be created.

    I would like to know which are the best practices for maintaining the validation, which means the place where the controls must be made and a message to the user who fills out the form when something goes wrong.

    The best vo or EO or managed bean? Or some controls should be put in the OS, others in the VO and other in the managed bean?

    I would be happy if you could give me some examples.

    Thank you

    Federico

    Assuming you want the validation on the value of the field to any screen data can be entered in (and possibly web services that rely on the same BC ADF) then put the validation on the definition of the attribute in the EO.

    If you want to add a little more friendliness and eliminate some of the network traffic to the server, you can also implement the validation client in your page - for example by using the regular expression validator.

  • Best practices for the integration of the Master Data Management (MDM)

    I work on the integration of MDM with Eloqua and are looking for the best approach to sync data lead/Contact changes of Eloqua in our internal MDM Hub (output only). Ideally, we would like that integration practically in real time but my findings to date suggest that there is no option. Any integration will result in a kind of calendar.

    Here are the options that we had:

    1. "Exotic" CRM integration: using internal events to capture and queue in the queue changes internal (QIP) and allows access to the queue from outside Eloqua SOAP/REST API
    2. Data export: set up a Data Export that is "expected" to run on request and exteernally annex survey via the API SOAP/REST/in bulk
    3. API in bulk: changes in voting that has happened since the previous survey through the API in bulk from Eloqua outside (not sure how this is different from the previous option)

    Two other options which may not work at all and who are potentially antimodel:

    • Cloud connector: create a campaign questioning changes to schedule and configure a connector of cloud (if possible at all) to notify MDM endpoint to query contact/lead "record" of Eloqua.
    • "Native" integration CRM (crazy): fake of a native CRM endpoint (for example, Salesforce) and use internal events and external calls to Eloqua push data into our MDM

    Issues related to the:

    1. What is the best practice for this integration?
    2. Give us an option that would give us the close integration in real-time (technically asynchronous but always / event-based reminder)? (something like the outgoing in Salesforce e-mail)
    3. What limits should consider these options? (for example API daily call, size response SOAP/REST)

    If you can, I would try to talk to Informatica...

    To imitate the integrations of native type, you use the QIP and control what activities it validated by internal events as you would with a native integration.

    You will also use the cloud api connector to allow you to set up an integration CRM (or MDM) program.

    You have fields of identification is added objects contact and account in Eloqua for their respective IDs in the MDM system and keep track of the last update of MDM with a date field.

    A task scheduled outside of Eloqua would go to a certain interval and extract the QAP changes send to MDM and pull the contacts waiting to be sent in place of the cloud connector.

    It isn't really much of anything as outgoing unfortunately use Messaging.  You can send form data shall immediately submit data to Server (it would be a bit like from collections of rule of integration running of the steps in processing of forms).

    See you soon,.

  • Best practices for network configuration of vSphere with two subnets?

    Well, then I'll set up 3 ESXi hosts connected to storage shared with two different subnets. I configured the iSCSI initiator and the iSCSI with his own default gateway - 192.168.1.1 - targets through a Cisco router and did the same with the hosts configured with its own default gateway - 192.168.2.2. I don't know if I should have a router in the middle to route traffic between two subnets since I use iSCSI ports linking and grouping of NETWORK cards. If I shouldn't use a physical router, how do I route the traffic between different subnets and use iSCSI ports binding at the same time. What are the best practices for the implementation of a network with two subnets vSphere (ESX host network: iSCSI network)? Thank you in advance.

    Install the most common iSCSI would be traffic between hosts and

    the storage is not being routed, because a router it could reduce performance.

    If you have VLAN 10(192.168.1.0/24) iSCSI, VLAN 20 (192.168.2.0/24) ESX

    MGMT and VLAN 30 (192.168.3.0/24) comments VMs and VLAN 40 (192.168.4.0/24)

    vMotion a deployment scenario might be something like:

    NIC1 - vSwitch 0 - active VMK (192.168.1.10) MGMT, vMotion VMK (192.168.4.10)

    standby

    NIC2 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

    NIC3 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK1 (192.168.1.10) iSCSI

    NIC4 - vSwitch 2 - active VMK2 (192.168.1.11) iSCSI

    NIC5 - vSwitch 1 - current (VLAN30) guest virtual machine port group

    NIC6 - vSwitch 0 - MGMT VMK (192.168.2.10) standby, vMotion

    VMK (192.168.4.10) active

    You would place you on VLAN 10 storage with an IP address of something like target

    192.168.1.8 and iSCSI traffic would remain on this VLAN. The default value

    gateway configured in ESXi would be the router the VLAN 20 with an ip address of

    something like 192.168.2.1. I hope that scenario help set some options.

  • Best practices for vSphere 5 Networking

    Hi all

    Given the following environment:

    (1) 4 physical servers, each server has 16 (Gigabit) network interface cards will install vSphere 5 std.

    (2) 2 switches with SAN storage battery function

    (3) 2 Equallogic PS4000 SAN (two controllers)

    (4) 2 switches for the traffic of the virtual machine

    As for networking, I intend create some vSwitches on each physical server as follows

    1 vSwitch0 - used for iSCSI storage

    6 network adapters are associated with IP-hash, multitracks with iSCSI Storage consolidation policy. and storage load balancing is round Rodin (vmware)

    (vmware suggests to use 2 cards for 1 traget of IP storage, I'm not sure)

    2 vSwitch1 - used for the virtual machine

    6 Teamed network adapters for the traffic of the virtual machine, with the hash intellectual property policy

    3 vSwitch2 - management

    2 network cards are associated

    4 vSwitch3 - vMotion

    2 network cards are associated

    You would like to give me some suggestions?

    Alex, the standard set by the storage and VMware is used by dell for their servers and tested sound on their equipment and the publication of the document, it is recommended...

    This sound is the best practice for dell server with this model mentioned in the document to use.

  • Best practices for managing strategies of path

    Hello

    I get conflicting advice on best practices for managed paths.

    We are on version 4.0 of ESXi connection to a HP EVA8000. Best practices guide HP recommends setting the strategy of railways handle on Round Robin.

    This seems to give two active paths to the optimized controller. See: http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA1-2185ENW.pdf

    We used certain consultants and they say that the best practices of Vmware for this solution is to use the MRU policy which translates a single path to the optimized controller.

    So, any idea what good practice is best practice? Does make a difference?

    TIA

    Rob.

    Always go with the recommendation of the storage provider.  VMware recommendation is based on the characteristics of the generic array (controller, capable ALUA failover methods, etc.).  The storage provider's recommendation is based on their performance and compatibility testing.  You may want to review their recommendations carefully, however, to ensure that each point is what you want.

    With the 8000, I ran with Round-Robin.  This is the option of creating more robust paths available to you from a failover and performance point of view and can provide performance more even through the ports on the storage controller.

    While I did of the specific tests/validation, the last time that I looked at the docs, the configuration of HP recommends that you configure each IO to the ports in the switch configuration.  This adds the charge to the ESX host, the switch to other ports, but HP claims that their tests showed that it is the optimal configuration.  It was the only parameter I wondered in their recommendation.

    If you haven't done so already, be sure to download the HP doc on configuring ESX and EVA bays.  There are several parameters that you must configure the policy path, as well as a few scripts to help make the changes.
