  where can I find the doc more up-to-date about berries EQL configuration / best practices with vmware vsphere 5.1

  Hello

  Here is a link to a PDF file that covers best practices for ESXi and EQL.

  Best EqualLogic practices ESX

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../20434601.aspx

  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.

  If you upgrade 5.0 to 5.1, you can delete it later.

  Here is a link to VMware which addresses this issue and has links to other Dell documents which confirm also that it is fixed in 5.1.

• SAN Best Practices for VSphere

  Hello world!

  I am new on VSphere and newest on the SAN, but I want to make all things right from the beginning. Where can I find a best practice document on the SAN and VSphere? I am looking for some recommendations on the design and deployment of SAN. What size for VMFS? How many virtual machines are recommended?

  I hope some of you can help me. Thanks for taking your time to read this

  Good bye.

  Are what types of SAN you using FC/iSCSI/NFS? Nor the means, you should architect your storage space redundant with several storage processors connected to several switches / HBA several guests. For the size of the LUN, between 400-600 GB would be a good thing and not put too many guests on a single LUN to prevent the conflict in booking iSCSI and tend to be I/O-bound and result in "fly". Standard rule is 4-6 VMs by heart and it depends on the types of loaded applications. Always start with 1 vCPU and 1024 MB of ram, started by and increase if necessary. Not recommended to use extensions to within the data store so plan accordingly. If you use RDM to sql, exchange or file server purposes plan accordingly because it has limits on the mode to use. I read VMware best practices guides and use your practices best sellers as well. Good luck in your design!

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• 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.

• [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 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:

• Best practices for SQL

  I started a discussion a few weeks there is movement .vmdks from the supplier of storage to another in regard to and got some great answers.  What I didn't ask was if the hard contain databases SQL is there special considerations when you cut storage EMC VNX (pools versus grpoups raid) or when the data store is created in vCenter.  I know that this may be more an EMC forum question but maybe someone in the world of VMware has a recommendation or can provide a link to best practices for the VNX.  Thank you.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Best practices for color use in Adobe CC?

  Hi all

  Is there an article that describes the best practices for use of color in Adobe CC?

  I produce a mixture of viewing online (PDF, for the most part) and real world print projects - often with the obligation for both. I recently updated my PANTONE + bridge books for the first time in ages and I am suddenly confused by the use of Lab colors in the Adobe Suite (Illustrator and InDesign).

  Everything I found online, looks like Lab color mode preferred to use because it is device independent. And perceptual (on screen), it looks much closer to the color, it is trying to represent. But when I mark a Spot color Illustrator rectangle using laboratory coordinates, to the sides of a rectangle using PANTONE + bridge CP and then export it to PDF, the version of CP to mix CMYK color corresponds exactly to my Pantone book - while the version of laboratory (after converted to CMYK using the ink Manager) is far away.

  I have this fantasy to manage only a single Illustrator or InDesign file for both worlds (PDF) printed and online. Is not possible in practice?

  Any info describing the basic definitions of the color modes - or even a book tracing more than use them in the real world - would be much appreciated!

  Thank you

  Bob

  Here are a few best practices you can already do.

  1 make sure that your color settings are synchronized on all applications.

  2. use a CMYK profile appropriate for your print output. Lab spot colors convert to CMYK values based on the CMYK icc profile.

  3. include icc profiles when save or export pdf files

  In theory, your imagination is possible today. It requires color management and the use of icc profiles. You can place RGB images in InDesign and use Pantone colors in your objects. The problem lies in the printers. If a printer uses a RIP with built in Pantone library, the colors will match when printing. Unfortunately, this kind of CUT is more expensive and not enough printers use them. Most of them is always manually approximate CMYK values composition given Pantone colors.
