• The activations of Win 98 SE how much per disc am I allowed

  Hello. It's actually on Win 98 SE and BACK. I'm in a forensics of computer science course where we have to use Win 98 SE. I recently bought a new copy on eBay and install the OS temporary on a laptop until I get my built office. Can you tell me how many installations, I will be able to perform using the original disk (has never been activated - original shrink film)? I will initially use it on your laptop and will finally at a desktop computer I have 2 or 3 activations per disk? Thank you. ~ scribe

  AFAIR it IS no "activation" in Windows 98 - the first version to have XP activation.

  However, the license for Windows 98 is the same that all versions - one a key only installation. As long as it is a copy retail license allows you to install as many times as you want as long as it's installed onoly once at any given time.

• How many per physical disk VHDs?

  I'm new on the ESXi server.  My company is going through the transition from physical servers to virtual servers on one of our contracts.  The client has provided the material for us, but there are a limited number of hard disks of the 'new' server  The server will run three virtual computers, 2 Web servers and a database server.  Each VM has its own dedicated hard disk.  Our old server DB had 11 young readers and our initial plan was to migrate all of them in a virtual drive.  My feeling is that this will cause performance problems because the operating system will treat the separate virtual drives and physical disks and try more I/O that the drive can handle.  I think it might be better to move to a few large virtual drives and their partition into 11 partitions.  Any ideas on that?

  For the DB (assuming that MSSQL server), you should have an OS vmdk, one for data files, one for the transaction logs files and possibly one for tempdb files.

  That should be enough. It would be better to place the data, logs, and the Tempdb on high performance specifien 9VMFS built RAID 10) but of course, we can always what we want.

• Types of discs DC Win2008R2 best practices...

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my AD environmental to 2008R2 victory, and I ask for feedback on best practices for the selection of the disk type and the parameters of the virtual machine.  I intend to install new scratch and transfer AD ads and much more thereafter.

  I intend to create a volume of 50Gb for the OS itself and a 200 GB volume for departure records and other data to the user.

  In a virtual environment, it is adviceable to locate the sysvol and AD database in a separate location other than the default system drive?

  For my 50 GB disk OS (domain controller), is this normal / good practice to store it with its virtual machine?

  My drive 200 GB of user data should ideally be able to reassign to another VM intact to keep the data in case of failure.

  Which drive 'provisioning' would be normal to use with these types of discs?

  What disc 'mode' (independent / persistent) it would be normal to specify in this scenario?

  When such a virtual disk is created, is it possible to increase / decrease its size?

  Thank you very much for the comments on these issues.

  Best regards

  Hello.

  In a virtual environment, it is adviceable to locate the sysvol and AD database in a separate location other than the default system drive?

  Yes, follow the same best practices as you would in the physical environment here.

  For my 50 GB disk OS (domain controller), is this normal / good practice to store it with its virtual machine?

  Probably yes.  Why would you consider storing elsewhere?  You do something with SAN replication or y at - there a reason?

  Which drive 'provisioning' would be normal to use with these types of discs?

  I tend to use thin for the volumes to the OS.  For the absolute best performance, you can go with thick-eager discs set to zero.  If you're talking about data sharing standard file for users, then all disc types would probably be fine.  Check it out "[study of the performance of VMware vStorage Thin Provisioning | ]. "[http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vsp_4_thinprov_perf.pdf]" for more information.

  What disc 'mode' (independent / persistent) it would be normal to specify in this scenario?

  This can depend on how you back up the server, but I guess you wouldn't use not independent.  If you do, make sure you use persistent, you do not want to lose user data.

  When such a virtual disk is created, is it possible to increase / decrease its size?

  The increase is very easy with vSphere and 2008.  Very easy, and it can be done without interruption.  Shrinkage is a more convoluted process and will most likely require a manual intervention and downtime on your part.

  Good luck!

• (Best practices) How to store the adjustment curve values?

  I got two sets of data, Xreal and Xobserved, abbreviated Xr and Xo. Xreal is a data set that contains the values of sensor from a reliable source (it's a pain to collect data for), and Xobserved is a set of data containing the values from a less reliable source, but much less maintenance, sensor. I'll create a VI that receives the entry of these two sources of data, stores it in a database (text file or csv) and crosses some estimators of this database. The output of the VI will be best approximation of linear adjustment (using regression, not the Xreal) of the input value of Xobserved.

  What are best practices for storage Xreal and Xobserved? In addition, I'm not too known using best VI made, take CSV files for entry? How would format it best?

  '

  Keep things simple.  Convert the table to CSV file and write to a text file.  See attached example.

• Best practices the iSCSI target LUN

  I connect to my ESX laboratory to a QNAP iSCSI target and wonder what best practices to create LUNS on the target. I have two servers each connection to its own target. Do I create a LUN for each virtual machine, I intend to create in the laboratory, or is it better to create a LUN of the largest and have multiple VMs per LUN? Place several virtual machines on a LUN has concequenses HA or FA?

  Concerning

  It is always a compromise...

  ISCSI reservations are per LUN.    If you get many guests on the same logical unit number, it becomes a problem and Yes we saw it.

  Slim sure to layout.   This way you can make your smaller LUN and still get several s VM we each their.

• Connections iSCSI how much should I see?

  Hi all

  Also posted here - iscsi connections how do I see?-Spiceworks and here - communities.vmware.com/.../520622

  Running ESXi 5.5 and a PS4100X Equallogic, hoping someone point me in the right direction on something I noticed.

  Recently installed a MD3220i (https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1114594-iscsi-port-binding-daft-question)

  After start installation and connection iSCSI can be quite long (as expected by using binding with several subnets iSCSI ports) but my question is not related to this.

  I came today to see what I can do to improve the time of starting, perhaps using static rather than dynamic discovery, and I noticed something weird.

  The Equallogic we have 2 NIC, 10.11.14.1 and 10.11.14.2. When using dynamic discovery I enter the IP address of the Group (10.11.14.253) and I get 8 connections, one for each IP address on the ESXi hosts to each IP addresses on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi1.png

  Any fine.

  If I then switch to static and put 2 entries in by the data store (one for each NETWORK card on the equallogic) (see the screenshot iscsi2.png) then what I see in the equallogic is 16 connections to the host. Each data store is connected twice for each NETWORK card on the host, everyone via network cards on the equallogic, see screenshot iscsi3.png.

  I don't know if it's better or worse! I have several paths, so it should be better? Or I have many paths, and the system will get confused?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The best option to avoid the delay is for something like the broadcom iSCSI adapter unloading.  ISCSI S/W adapter would be bound to network adapters for volumes MD, (or bind something here and use several subnets rather) the unloading adapter would then manage the EQL triaffic.   This prevents the long startup delay since all related network cards trying to reach the defined all discovery addresses.

  I have never tried to use only addresses static w/ESXi, so I can't really talk about why you get the additional connections.  Unless it still makes a discovery, or the old static entries were still there after you have changed static.

  Kind regards

• Physically, move a server blade in a different location - best practices?

  Hello

  Is there a best practice to move a physical blade to another location?  I can't find a document about it.

  We want to move a slide to another location due to keep grouped similar environments but do not want to disassociate the profile.

  Can we just unassign, and then take it out and put in another location and let it automatically reactivate.  The profile will remain with the server?

  You say - associate profile and then re - associate profile again?

  Thank you

  A

  Hi Adrien,.

  Thank you for poining, I guess I wrote too soon.

  Yes it takes the decomission.

  Here are the steps to update:

  (1) shut down the operating system on the blade,

  (2) Disassocite the service profile, wait dissociate it in full (check the status on the WSF of the blade tab)

  (3) Decomission the blade of the UCSM (check the status on the tab of the WSF for the process)

  (4) to remove the blade from the current location,

  (5) move the blade into the slot again.

  (6) wait for blade to discover fully (even once, check the condition of the WSF of the blade tab), you may be required to validate / recognize the slot to accept the blade and trigger the discovery.

  7) once discovered associated with the profile back

  (8) start the dos operating system.

  I would check the documents and let you know.

• Exporting 60 frames per second to 30 frames per second - best practices?

  Hello!

  I've been inattentive when setting up my DSLR before filming sequences for a small video testimony. So you end up with 60 fps clips where I wanted to 24 fps.

  I edited the full video in Prime CC expect to export at 30 fps without major problems. And to a certain extent, that's ok, except for a couple of pans that suck really :-/

  My question is: what is the best practice when exporting first CC or via Media Encoder?

  Would really appreciate your help!

  Thank you!

  Try to drop your video of 60 frames per second in a sequence of 30 frames per second, then export the movie.  Experience the turn (using short segments of your sequence for testing purposes) mixture of framework.

  See you soon,.

  Probably because what you be hired for the promotional contract of $29.99 / month (for the first 12 months) and your 12 months expires soon. You will be renewed at full price $49.99 / month.

  monthly payments of $49.99 x 12 = $599,88 per year, paid in monthly installments

  12 months paid in advance from the start = $599,88 (no difference)

• ISCSI best practices

  Doesn anyone know where I can find a guide to best practices, VMware ISCSI?  They have best practice NFS Guides but not an ISCSI.  I downloaded the Guide of ISCSI VMware, but I expect a guide of best practices.  If anyone knows where they have a guide please send me a link.  Thanks in advance.

  The reason that there are choices, is that it is not better. It depends on your situation, SAN vendor, etc.

• Roles, permissions - DataCenter, file, Cluster, host Layout - best Practices\How-to

  Have a little problem with permissions and roles. I'm sure it will be an easy one for those of you with more experience of working with roles. I hope that my layout organization made with quote boxes is readable.

  The Organization has just spun a new host ESXi 4 for developers and added in vCenter. Developers want to use the vSphere Client\VIC to manage the ESX Server. They need rights to create virtual machines, remove VMs, clone VMs, VMs potential power. However, we don't want them to be able to reach production.

  According to the diagram below, the new host of development, labeled as "HostC (autonomous DEVELOPMENT host)", is located under "Data Center-City-2", who also owns the production ESX clusters. " And obviously I don't want developers having rights on production groups.

  Lets say I have create a role called 'HostC Dev Sandbox Rights', add users and assign directly to "HostC" below. This role contains the VM 'create' right, however when I run the wizard Creation of VM of HostC as a member of the role the vSphere Client tells me this task requires rights create VM on the level of data center! But given these developers to create VMS access on the data center would give them rights to create virtual machines in the poles of Production! Which is obviously a problem.

  I can't believe that our need to give these rights to ONLY one host in a DataCenter is rare. I don't know that there is a misunderstanding on my part of how to configure VMware roles for best practices.

  Anyone with more expirence on VMware roles ready to help me on this one? Thanks in advance!

  You can apply permissions directly to the data store.  I didn't need to go further than the clusters in our environment, but what really works for you is to place data warehouses in folders for storage.  Have the records be the names of your groups hosts and clusters.  Then place the warehouses of data for each cluster in the corresponding folder.  Then, just apply permissions for the data on the record instead of warehouses in each individual data store.  Off topic a little, but a records of something in the store of data discovered lack is the function of "views of storage" and I put a future application.

  Yes, if you set permissision to the view of the data store the user can turn opinion and see.  Extensive your permissions framework tests is guaranteed before pushing users.  Looks like you are already doing.

• where and how much Vcenter must be installed? as a virtual machine or physical host? -config is 2xESXi40 - CX4 - 120 1xEMC2 - DAS mode

  "BEST PRACTICE RECOMMENDATION.

  I work with 1 ESXi40 in DAS mode very good and everything is fine.

  I have still a few servers production of Phisical aditional to be virtualized, but before that

  We cultivate our virtual infrastructure by adding a second Esxi40 and installing the Virtual Center software and license to use HA, Vmotion, etc..

  the questions and the thing is, if I'm migrating all my hosts physic to the VMs system, do I need a new physical server to install Virtual Center, yes or no.

  and why?

  If this is not the case, the Vcenter can be virtualized, and what is the best practice to do this.

  which of the following configuration might be valid, the best recommendation and why and why not.

  (a) create 1 Vcenter VM, located in a data store on the hard drive that comes a host of Esxi40

  (b) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 1 Vcenter VM, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  (d) create 2 Vcenter VW, created storage located in a data store that comes from the CX4-120, and the group contains 1 ESXi40 physical host

  (c) create 2 Vcenter VM, located in a data store that comes from the CX4 - 120, ahd, the storage group created containds 2 ESXi40 physical hosts

  Thank you

  MC.

  You're too complicate things...

  Do the vCenter as a virtual machine, which gives the requirements for processors, RAM, etc... Place it on a data store available to BOTH hosts. In fact, I would make sure that ALL s LUN where sit all VM are available for BOTH ESXi servers.

  I recommend also using a full SQL Server for the db, is not using SQL Express. If you have a SQL 2005 server, use it. If you want to future proof, vCenter things, put on a 64 bit OS (so you're ready for vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1). Having the SQL database on a real SQL Server (other than the server vCenter Server/VM) makes things a lot easier on the road...

• Best practices for iscsi - esx4

  I am trying to determine what a good or best practice would be for this situation.  We have a Server Blade esx4 so in vmware, it is already connected to our system of back-end storage.  I want to know is this:

  Can I install the iscsi initiator on the side of the OS (software) to connect and make a second drive (d:\) in this way I can push the disc, etc.  and also still available for failover, etc...

  Or is there a different way or advised to do this.

  Thank you

  Yes, you are right.

  Create a new data store (if that's what you want to do). Present this data store for all your hosts in your Cluster. Add a new disk to the virtual machine, specify the size of the drive, and then choose where you want the VMDK to be stored. You want to store this particular VMDK on the new data store that you just introduced.

  Your .vmx file will know where to find this VMDK at startup.

  Once the data store is visible to all the hosts, then he will be protected by HA (if you have HA as a feature under license)
