Best practices for the implementation of environment laboratory in ESX 3.5

Hi all

I currently have two systems ESX 3.5 in a dmz on a network for a lab environment. The place has a few other external servers such as dc, servers, exchange, ect, so even if it is in a demilitarized zone and a controlled DMZ network I want to ensure that the ESX 3.5 systems are in a sandbox environment. They need 1 external network adapter so that the virtual machine can download patches ect but the rest of the communication, I would like to be established between the VM internally. In other words, in a world of VM Workstation 6 I would have only 1 bridged network adapter but all others would be articulate under internal network cards.   This lab will be available for a lot of people like someone not running a DHCP server or a new domain controller which could knock out the other test environments in the demilitarized zone.

How would you put this together with the vswitches? is Director of the laboratory, the best way to do this?

To my knowledge there is no way "internal" to do. Workstation is by design the use of test/development and not the production-oriented and therefore the set of features is different from ESX (i).

  • Best practices for the implementation of META tags for content items?

    Hello
    The portal site, I am responsible for the management of our content (www.sers.state.pa.us) runs on the following WebCenter products:

    WebCenter Interaction 10.3.0.1
    WebCenter Publisher 6.5
    WebCenter Studio 2.2 MP1
    10gR 3 content services

    The I work for the Agency is one of many for the commonwealth of PA, who use this product suite, and I meet some confusion on how to implement META tags for content of our site, so we can have effective search results. According to the [explanation of META tag standards W3C website | http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_meta.asp], description tags, keywords, etc., should be between the cephalic region of the HTML document. However, with the configuration of the suite WebCenter is implemented, how the head section of the HTML is closed at the end of the model code to a common header portlet. I was advised to add fields to our entry presentation models and data for the content to add these meta fields, however, since they are then placed in the body section of the HTML accordingly, these tags fail to have a positive impact on search results. Instead, a lot of our content points, when searched, the description in the search results displays only the text that appears in the header and the left navigation of our model, which arrived earlier in the body section of the HTML.

    Please advise possible or methods that would be best to implement the use of META tags so that we can our pages containing content to come to the top in the search results with relevant data.

    Thanks in advance,
    Brian

    Basically, you want to add tags portals in the presentation model to move the meta tags of the element of the header of the actual document content. Check out http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13158_01/alui/wci/docs103/devguide/apidocs/tagdocs/common/includeinhead.html

  • 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.

  • 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 the use of reserved words

    Hello
    What is the best practice for the use of the reserved words as column names.
    For example if I insisted on the use of the word to a column name comment as follows:

    CREATE TABLE...
    VARCHAR2 (4000) "COMMENT."
    ...

    What is the impact on the track I could expect and what problems should I be informed when doing something like that?

    Thank you
    Ben

    The best practice is NOT to use reserved words anywhere.
    Developers are human beings human. Humans have their moments to forget things.
    They will not forget to use the "", or you can force it to use the "' everywhere.
    The two methods are Oracle certified ways to end up in hell.

  • Best practices for the application of sharpness in your workflow

    Recently I tried to get a better understanding of some of the best practices for sharpening in a workflow. I guess that I didn't know, but there are several places to sharpen. Who are the best? They are additive?

    My typical workflow involves capture an image with a professional DSLR in RAW or JPEG or import into Lightroom and export to a JPEG file for the screen or printing of two lab and local. 

    There are three places in this workflow to add sharpening. In the DSLR manually into Lightroom and when exporting a JPEG file or print directly from Lightroom

    It is my understanding that sharpening is added to RAW images even if you add sharpening in your DSLR. However sharpening will be added to the JPEG from the camera. 

    Back to my question, it is preferable to manually the sharpness in the SLR in Lightroom or wait until you export or output of your printer or final JPEG file. And additive effects? If I add sharpening to the three places I am probably more sharpening?

    You have to treat them differently both formats. Data BULLIES never have any sharpening applied by the camera, only JPEG files. Sharpening is often considered to be a workflow where there are three steps (see here for a seminal paper on this idea).

    I. a step sharpening of capture which compensates for the loss of sharp in detail due to the Bayer matrix and the filter anti-repliement and sometimes the lens or diffraction.

    II. A creative sharpening step where some details in the image are 'highlighted' sharpness (do you eyelashes on a model's face), and

    III. output sharpening, where you fix the loss of sharpness due to the scale/resampling for the properties of the average output (as blur because of an impression how process works or blurry because of the way that a screen LCD sets out its pixels).

    These three are implemented in Lightroom. I. and II. are essential, and basically must always be performed. II. until your creative minds. I. is the sharpening that see you in the Panel to develop. You need zoom at 1:1 and optimize the settings. The default settings are OK but quite conservative. Usually you can increase the value of the mask a little so that you're not sharpen noise and play with the other three sliders. Jeff Schewe gives an overview of a strategy simple to find the optimal settings here. It is for the cab, but the principle remains the same. Most of the photos will benefit from optimization a bit. Don't go overboard, but just OK for smoothness to 1:1.

    Stage II as I have said, is not essential, but it can be done using the local adjustment brush, or you can go to Photoshop for this. Stage III, however, is very essential. This is done in the export, the print panel Panel or the web. You can't really get a glimpse of these things (especially the sharpening printing-oriented) and it will take a little experimentation to see what you like.

    For jpeg, sharpening is done already in the camera. You could add a small extra capture sharpening in some cases, or simply lowering the sharpening in camera and then have more control in the post, but generally, it is best to leave it alone. Stage II and III, however, are still necessary.

  • 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).

  • Measurement on the side time server? Best practices for the turn-based game

    Hello

    What would be the best practice for measuring time in a turn based game?

    I was looking at the timeout of the room, but to use that it would mean that, for each round, I put users in a new room?

    Is there a way where I can measure time serverside and keep users in the same room?

    If so, I could use php, otherwise, we would need java that allows to measure a time race.

    See you soon,.

    G

    Hello

    You can definitely use PHP or Java - we provide integration of server

    libraries for either. I don't know exactly what is the use case, so I can't

    comment on what makes the most sense, but if it is not information which must be

    totally secure, grading on the client can be a viable approach also.

  • Best practices for the design of a printing environment?

    Greetings,

    If there is a better place for this, please let me know.

    Objective:

    Redesign and redeploy my printing environment with best practices in mind.


    Overview: VMWare environment running 2008 R2, with about 200 printers. I have a majority of printers HP ranging from 10 years old again. LaserJet MFP, OfficeJets, etc... etc... In addition to the copiers Konica, Xerox and Savin. Many of our models of printer are not taken in charge in 2008, and still less x 64.

    Our future goals include services eprint, as well as the desire to manage the print quality, and levels of consumition by something like Web Jetadmin.

    Currently we have a 2003 Server x 86 server running our printers very old and 6 months ago the rest on a single x 64 server 2008r2. We ended up not giving it the attention to detail, it is necessary and pilots have become very congested, this led to a PCL6 only, UPD update that ended up corrupting several drivers through the UPD PCL 5 and 6 of the spectrum. At this time, we brought a second server 2008r2 and began to emigrate to those affected. In some cases, we were forced to remove manually the drivers off the customer system32-> coil-> driver and reinstall.

    I've not had much luck finding good best practice information and thought I'd ask. Some documents I came across suggested that I should isolate a universal driver to a single server, such as 3 servers for PCL5, PCL6, and Psalm then, there is the need to deal with my various copiers.

    I appreciate your advice, thank you!

  • Best practices for the restart of the nodes of the ISE?

    Hello community,

    I administer an ISE installation with two nodes (I'm not a specialist of the ISE, my job is simply to manage the user/mac-addresses... but now I have to move my ISE a VMWare Cluster nodes to another VMWare Cluster.

    (Both VMWare environments are connected to our network of the company, but are different environments. vMotion is not possible)

    I want to stop ISE02, move it to our new VMWare environment and start it again.

    That I could do this with our ISE01 node...

    Are there best practices to achieve this? (Stop request first, stopl replikation etc.) ?

    Can I really just reboot a node ISE - or I have consider something before I do this? After I did this?

    All tasks after reboot?

    Thanks for any answer!

    ISE01
    Administration, monitoring, Service policy
    PRI (A), DRY (M)

    ISE02
    Administration, monitoring, Service policy
    SEC (A), PRI (M)

    There is a lot to consider here.  If changing environments involves a change of IP address and IP extended, then your policies, profiles and DACL would also change among other things.  If this is the case, create a new VM ISE in the new environment in evaluation license using the and recreate the old environment deployment by using the address of the new environment scheme.  Then a new secondary node set rotation and enter it on the primary.  Once this is done, you can re - host license from your old environment on your new environment.  You can use this tool to re - host:

    https://Tools.Cisco.com/swift/LicensingUI/loadDemoLicensee?formid=3999

    If IP addressing is to stay the same, it becomes simpler.

    First and always, perform an operational backup and configuration.

    If the downtime is not a problem, or if you have a window of maintenance of an hour or so: just to close the two nodes.  Transfer to the new environment and light them, head node first, of course.

    If the downtime is a problem, stop the secondary node and transfer it to the new environment.  Start the secondary node and when he comes back, stop the main node.  Once that stopped services on the head node, promote the secondary node to the primary node.

    Transfer of the FORMER primary node to the new environment and turn it on.  She should play the role of secondary node.  If it is not the case, assign this role through the GUI.

    Remember, the proper way to shut down a node of ISE is:

    request stop ise

    Halt

    By using these commands, the risk of database corruption decreases by 90% (remember to always backup).

    Please rate useful messages and mark this question as answered if, in fact, does that answer your question.  Otherwise, feel free to post additional questions.

  • AppAssure best practices for the storage of machine image

    I work in a regulated environment where our machines are validated before being put into service.  Once they are put in service, changes to the machines are controlled and executed by a process of change request.  We use AppAssure to back up critical computers and with the ' always on ' incremental backup, works very well for the restoration of level file/folder in the case where something is removed, moved, etc..

    Management process asks me to perform once a machine is validated, to take a picture of it and store the image further so that if there is a hardware failure, the validated image can be restored and the machine is essentially to it of original validated state.  In addition to having the image of the machine as soon as it is posted, I need to also back up the machine on a regular basis in order to restore files, folders, databases, etc. on this machine.

    So my question is how to achieve this with AppAssure?  My first thoughts are to perform the backup of the machine Base, then archive it, and then let the AppAssure to perform the scheduled backup.  If I need to restore the computer to the Base image, then I back the Archive and then do the restore.  Is this a feasible solution and practice?  If this isn't the case, please tell us the best way I could accomplish what I want to do.

    Thank you

    Hi ENCODuane,

    You can carry out the plan of action of the WES in the following way

    1. to protect the agent with the name "[Hostname\IP_Base]".

    2. take the base image.

    3 remove the protection agent, but let the recovery points

    4. After these steps, you will have recovery basis point for the agent in the section 'recovery only Points.

    5. go to the agent computer, open the registry and change the ID of the Agent (a sign of evolution will be enough).  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AppRecovery\Agent\AgentId\Id

    for example, of

    94887f95-f7ee-42eb-AC06-777d9dd8073f

    TO

    84887f95-f7ee-42eb-AC06-777d9dd8073f

    6. restart the agent service

    7. from this point core Dell-AppAssure will recognize machine as a different agent.

    8 protect the machine with the name "[Hostname\IP]".

    If after these steps, you'll Base image for the 'Recovery only Points' machine (with the name "[Hostname\IP_Base]" which will not be changed by the update rollup and transfers) and protected the machine with the name "[Hostname\IP]" where the transfers will be made based on configured policy.

Maybe you are looking for
