• Best practices for the configuration of virtual drive on NGC

  Hello

  I have two C210 M2 Server with 6G of LSI MegaRAID 9261-8i card with 10 each 135 GB HDDs. When I tried the automatic selection of the RAID configuration, the system has created a virtual disk with RAID 6. My concern is that the best practice is to configure the virtual drive? Is - RAID 1 and RAID5 or all in a single drive with RAID6? Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Since you've decided to have the CPU on the server apps, voice applications have specified their recommendations here.

  http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/Tested_Reference_Configurations_%28TRC%29

  I think that your server C210 specifications might be corresponding TRC #1, where you need to have

  RAID 1 - first two drives for VMware

  RAID 5 - 8 hard drives within the data store for virtual machines (CUCM and CUC)

• Best practices for moving to the 1 of 2 VMDK to different data store

  I have several virtual machines who commit a good amount of data on a daily basis.  These virtual machines have two VMDK; one where the operating system and that where data is committed to.  Virtual machines are currently configured to store in the same data store.  There is a growing need to increase the size of the VMDK where data are stored, and so I would like these put special in a separate data store.  What is the best practice to take an existing virtual computer and moving just a VMDK in another data store?

  If you want to split the vmdks (HDDs) on separate data warehouses, just use Storage vMotion and the "Advanced" option

• Best practices for the configuration of virtual switches with ESXi

  So we have a dish network, no VLAN. I have a total of 6 NETWORK adapters per ESX host... Since there is no Service Console or is it shared with the Prod vswitch here is how I have the configuration of the NETWORK adapters.

  Keep in min, we use ESXi 3.5

  vSwitch0 - Vmotion - 2 NETWORK cards

  vSwitch1 - Vmkernel Port & Machine virtual port group - 4 NETWORK cards

  I have attached the screenshot.

  Please let me know if you do anything differently?

  Dave bang on! the IP of VMotion ESXi will be used for the same purpose. For many ESX on the brain, sorry.

  Each VM will get no more than 1 GbE over four network adapters. Once a virtual computer is given a NIC, it will remain on the NETWORK card using the default configuration and it is good because the virtual machines are distributed between the four of them.

• best practices for loading the swf file

  Greetings,

  Using CS5 AS2

  I am creating a website in flash (all files are in a directory/folder on SharePoint) and want to make sure that what seems to work well is recommended.

  I have an index.swf with many buttons that will take the user to landing pages/content/other SWFs. On these various buttons, I have the script...

  (release) {loadMovieNum ("name.swf", 0) ;}}                I could also just do {loadMovie ("name.swf", 0) ;} ?}

  Transitions film nicely name.swf and on this page, I have a button that returns the user to the index.swf...

  (release) {loadMovieNum ("index.swf", 0) ;}}   Things back to index.swf nicely and the user can chose to go to a different landing page.

  It seems that I am on the right track, BC., nothing's wrong? but want to check out. I'm following best practices for moving from one swf to another within a Web site?

  Thanks for the help or confirmation!

  You are welcome.

• Best practices for large virtual disk

  I would add a large virtual disk (16 TB) to use as a backup storage and ideally thin to allow potential available use of, at least initially, a lot of free space.  Headache is the limit of 2 TB for virtual disks in ESXi 5.

  I know that you can extend 2 TB virtual disks in the operating system (win 2008 r2, in this case).  But is it a good idea?  The underlying array is raid 6, so I guess it's safe, but it sounds at least potentially worriesome me on 8 discs.  Not a matter of concern?

  Performance?

  RDM is less flexible and might be impossible (matrix raid is local).

  Anyone have any suggestions on the best practices here?  What would you do?

  I do not recommend the use of the plan span for the file VMDK disks a bad 2 TB and its all parties (several ways that I saw - snapshot problems, corruption etc.)

  Because they are still local drives, you lose flexibility everything that I recommend using RDM.

  A huge ROW for this virtual machine.

  http://blog.davidwarburton.NET/2010/10/25/RDM-mapping-of-local-SATA-storage-for-ESXi/ This departure to configure it.

  As for what I would do, I've done this before and I used RDM, just for 8TB but still.

• What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

  We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

  On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

  What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

  I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

  The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

  Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

  Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

• best practices for the storage of the vm and vhd

  no doubt this question has been answered not once... Sorry

  I would like to know the best practice for the storage of the vm and its virtual hard disk to a SAN.

  Any show advantage does make sense to keep them on separate LUNS?

  Thank you.

  It will really depend on the application of the virtual machine - but for most of the applications no problem by storing everything on the same data store

• AF best practices for video

  I'm using an EOS 7 d for 1080 p HD video shooting. New to SLR camera and digital video. I have watched several tutorials but do not yet have a good understanding of what the best practices for the development.

  If I put the camera in AI Servo it will auto focus if the subject is moving away or toward me with depress me back AF-ON or the shutter button? Or should I press one of these buttons to make the camera continues to focus?

  You know tutorials or video lessons that cross using update with the video?

  Thanks in advance!

  I don't know any tutorials, but more serious videographers say it is best to use only the manual focus.

  Trial and error is a good teacher, when it comes to video DSLR. You'll quickly learn that video Auto Focus is really bad with the 7 d and most of the people do not use it all together.

  The method that works for me is to use AF before the filming of the video and then adjust manually if you want to you to shoot the video. With the help of f/8 or f/11 to keep everything in short without having to keep the setting.

  More recent Canon DSLR's like the T4i, T5i, 70 d and SL1 have a "hybrid AF" that does a much better job of AF during video, but it is not yet as good as a camcorder

• HP stream 11-d008tu: best practices for migrating to Windows 10?

  Hey there, I have a HP flow 11-d0008tu and received the notification I can upgrade to Windows 10. I want to do a clean install with a downloaded ISO but knowledge first of all, it is better to upgrade so that you get the activation done.

  Can someone give me some ideas on best practices for the upgrade? The stream has only 30GB HD so I have no recovery disk, I'll just do a recovery later on USB or SD card. When I do the upgrade can deselect recovery option or delete?

  Also, any other suggestions appreciated, especially which helps make effective for small HD

  See you soon

  Hi, I posted an installation procedure for Windows 10 fresh for the Tablet HP Stream here.  Also, I have a laptop 11 flow but do not have that yet. I think it must be the same because they both the same drive of mem 32 GB Hynix. A change would you probably want to use the 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows 10 ISO file, the Tablet has only 1 GB of RAM.

• Best-practice for hardware virtualization?

  Hardware virtualization is disabled by default when I create new virtual machines in my VMware clusters. But what are the best practices for this what settings are recommended? Are there reasons NOT to activate the hardware virtualization?

  IMO there is no advantage in allowing virtualization of hardware if you have no need for the virtual machine (for example, a virtual host of the ESXi).

• 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.

• vSpere 5 Networking of best practices for the use of 4 to 1 GB NIC?

  Hello

  I'm looking for a networking of best practices for the use of 4-1 GB NIC with vSphere 5. I know there are a lot of good practice using 10 GB, but our current config does support only 1 GB. I need to include the management, vMotion, Virtual Machine (VM) and iSCSi. If there are others you would recommend, please let me know.

  I found a diagram that resembles what I need, but it's for 10 GB. I think it works...

  (I had this pattern HERE - rights go to Paul Kelly)

  My next question is how much of a traffic load is each object take through the network, percentage wise?

  For example, 'Management' is very small and the only time where it is in use is during the installation of the agent. Then it uses 70%.

  I need the percentage of bandwidth, if possible.

  If anyone out there can help me, that would be so awesome.

  Thank you!

  -Erich

  Without knowing your environment, it would be impossible to give you an idea of the uses of bandwidth.

  That said if you had about 10-15 virtual machines per host with this configuration, you should be fine.

• 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.

  Hope that clarifies...

• Best practices for CentOS (5.3)

  Hello

  I'm looking to run CentOS 5.3 in an ESX 3.5 / 2.5 environment VI. What selection is considered to be best practice for this OS during the virtual machine creation? Should I put it for Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5 or should I do another 2.6.x - 32 bit?

  Thanks in advance,

  Tim

  CentOS wants to be 100% binary replica of upstream. For all purposes useful, removed its RHEL SRPMs with illustrations and a few added CentOS extra packages.

  At chose RHEL vm and the rpm RHEL for tools to use. One thing you can do is change the /etc/init.d/vmware-tools and change the order of start/stop. After all this time, I don't know why they put K08vmware-tools when K90network that causes things like postfix to do not stop...
