Best practices for storing the Logs of the system for all newly improved ESXi hosts?

Hi people,

What are the options and best practices for the Logs of the system for all newly improved 5.1u1 ESXi hosts?

Do I need to have the Syslog server or it can be safely ignored?

Thank you

Evening,

Syslog is preferred, but VMware has provided a collector of syslog on the vcenter installation disc can be installed on any windows host or your vcenter. I can't count the number of times where I had guests CMTF or newspapers lost... Fortunately for the syslog which collects up to the accident.  It is not necessary, but it's really a good idea without any real cost since you can use your vcenter host.

Here is an article on how to install it:

Thank you

  • Best practices for cloning a VM ESXi

    Hello

    I'm looking for the best method of cloning a VM ESXi without causing conflict of IP addresses. I thought that I could follow the steps listed in this article (http://geektank.net/2009/02/howto-clone-a-virtual-machine-on-vmwares-free-esxi/) and before starting the virtual computer, change network settings to point to a vSwitch which has no method of connection to another part of the network. Then I could enter the virtual machine, change the IP address and hostname, and then reconfigure the vSwitch to be connected outside. I should Sysprep the computer that I'm cloning or not?

    I'm on the right track, or is there another way to do this?

    Thank you

    You'll want to sysprep the computer to generate a new SID.  I'm generally a vSwitch on my stand-alone hosts which is a "deployment" vSwitch.  There is no natachasery attached to it and so unable to go anywhere.  This will allow the power on and change of the IP address that you stated.  You want to also make sure that you have a different MAC address for the virtual machine that this can cause problems network of course.

  • 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!

    Clean install XP sites
    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.

  • to access the QML attached objects in C++ and best practices for the handling of the user interface in classes

    Hello

    I have in fact 2 queries

    (1) how can we access attachedobjects defined in QML in C++?

    (2) I'm loving development on Blackberry 10 C++ is one of my favorites. But I'm a bit lost when it comes to managing the user interface in classes. For example when we create the project through momentics we have a class called ApplicationUI. It manages all the (default) user interface commands, we in C++. as for example creating the document qml and setting as root user interface, etc. I am now working on an app that have NavigationPane as root, and then I continue to push pages (like the screens). But now the code for all pages is inside my ApplicationUI. What is the best practice to keep the UI for each page logic in a separte C++ class?

    I also develop for Android that a separate class for each activity, this code does not mingle for each activity. Please guide me how can I keep logic of user interface of each Page into a separate class of C++?

    regarding your second question:
    I think this is the simplest approach to keep all things in the UI in QML. You can easily put things into separate files.

    If you want to use c ++ to the user interface: can be done, too. just put it in separate classes and include those in your application class.

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • 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 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,.

    Important

    Check that there is no cleanup operation pending on recovery plans and there is no problem of configuration for the virtual machines that protects the Site Recovery Manager.

    1 all the recovery plans are in ready state.

    2 the protection status of all protection groups is OK.

    3 the status of the protection of all the individual virtual machines in the protection groups is OK.

    4 the recovery of all groups of protection status is ready.

    5. If you have configured the advanced settings in the existing installation, note settings you configured before the upgrade.

    6 the vCenter local and remote server instances must be running when you upgrade the Site Recovery Manager.

    7 upgrade all components Server vCenter Site Recovery Manager on a site until you upgrade vCenter Server and Site Recovery Manager on the other site.

  • Best practices for adding form fillable form designer EULA & forcing acceptance by the user

    What are created the best practices for adding a license agreement end user to a form with LiveCycle Designer. and to force the user to signify the acceptance of the EULA before access inside the form?

    Time, I have the kludged with a series of four message boxes (which is necessary because my LICENSE agreement, like most) is too long to fit in a single messageBox).  3 first message boxes have OK/Cancel buttons.  If the user clicks OK, she gets the following message EULA box; If she clicks cancel the form closes.  The last post (fourth) area a Yes/No buttons with the corresponding behavior.  It seems that the work (I think?), but it's ugly.  Is there an "easy way" to do it with a single drop-down dialog box "I agree" and "I refuse" custom buttons?

    I've seen references to Tools like this but they are marked as obsolete or abandoned due to security or other unspecified concerns.

    Best, Blake

    Another way might be, keep the form pages hidden at the beginning and only display a single page that has text box that contains the EULA with accept and refuse to scroll buttons. IF someone refuses, you can keep the rest of the hidden form or display message boxes to force acceptance of the EULA.

    If anyone agrees, you can simply hide the EULA page, and display form pages.

    I hope that used here too scripting required to reach it either.

  • 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.

  • 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...

    vSphere 5 - 10GbE SegmentedNetworks Ent Design v0_4.jpg(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.

    Hi Experts,

    What is the best way or best practices for access to the session defined in servelt pipeline component?

    Please, share your ideas.

    Thank you

    As performance is concerned, a lot would depend on as to how your design & logic is implemented and you presented search operations to support the specific performance problems. In fact the operation itself can be not expensive than in-house it is somewhat like a search for key/value of the objects in session/application context name. But having said that, Yes, a potential performance problem could be because it's a synchronized operation. So to avoid searches to be performed during each request, caching the results of a search of a component. And in the majority of cases to solve a 'A' component within your component, you must configure a property reference 'A' in the file properties for your component.

  • Best practices for the compression of the image in dps

    Hello! I read up on best practices for the compression of the image in dps and I read the asset from the source of panoramas, sequences of images, Pan and zoom images and audio skins is resampled not downloading. You will need to resize them and compress them before deleting the in your article, because the dps do not do it for you. Hey can do!

    So Im also read as he active source of slideshows, scrolling images, and buttons ARE resampled as PNG images. Does this mean that DPS will compress for you when you build the article? Does this say I shouldn't worth going bother to resize these images at all? I can just pop in 300 DPI files 15 MB used in the print magazine and dps will compress their construction article - and this will have no effect on the size of the file?

    And this is also the case with static background images?


    Thanks for your help!

    All images are automatically resampled to based on the size of the folio you do. You can put in any image resolution you want, it's not serious.

  • best practices for placing the master image

    Im doing some performances / analysis of load tests for the view and im curious about some best practices for the implementation of the image master VM. the question is asked specifically regarding disk i/o and throughput.

    My understanding is that each linked clone still reads master image. So if that is correct, then it seems that you would like the main image to reside in a data store that is located on the same table as the rest of the warehouses of data than the House related clones (and not some lower performing table). The reason why I ask this question, it is that my performance tests is based on some future SSD products. Obviously, the amount of available space on the SSD is limited, but provides immense quantities of e/s (100 k + and higher). But I want to assure you that if, by putting the master image on a data store that is not on the SSD, I am therefore invalidate the IO performance I want high-end SSD.

    This leads to another question, if all the linked clones read from the master image, which is general practices for the number of clones related to deploy by main image before you start to have problems of IO contention against this single master image?

    Thank you!

    -


    Omar Torres, VCP

    This isn't really neccissary. Linked clones are not directly related to the image of the mother. When a desktop pool is created and used one or more data stores Parent is copied in each data store, called a replica. From there, each linked clone is attached to the replica of the parent in its local data store. It is a replica of unmanged and offers the best performance because there is a copy in every store of data including linked gradient.
