Best used for install ESX4.1 on a host

Hello

I already have a cluster of ESX 4.1 three knots, with vSphere on a 64-bit Windows 2008 VM, with NFS exports from our SAN as data stores for virtual machines, and I want to add a new host ESX to take this to a group of four.

I have a server who is exactly the same as my other hosts, but it is completely empty at the moment.

What would you say is the best way to get ESX installed on it, then add it to the cluster to lighten the load a bit for me? Previously I just upgraded existing hosts 3.5 to 4.1, so that was easy (ish)

Any help/guides appreciated, thanks guys.

Hello

IMO, as you are only dealing with a single host, the fastest way to install ESX would be the good old fashioned installation from DVD and run the wizard.  It's certainly faster with an installation by script, time to unravel and test the script could have installed ESX several times in the course, and you only really see the advantage when woring with a large number of guests...

Another thing to mention, incase you have overlooked, have you checked your vCenter license?  You had initially 3 guests, did you buy the Foundation version, if so, you need to upgrade to use all four hosts.

Hope this helps

  • Best place for installing VCenter with a host

    Where is the best Traghetti for me installing vCenter when we only have a single host server? I installed version track on a virtual machine, but this doesn't seem to be the safest way to do it. If I lose this virtual machine or the host, I won't have access to the administration. If it was installede on a separate server?

    Welcome to the community - by using vCenter to manage a single ESXi host is an exaggeration, since you can manage the ESXi host directly connecting you by using the vSphere client. Given that you can manage the ESXi host directly, it can run on a VM.

    You build your environment and add more hosts and implement VMware HA you will continue to be able to run vCenter in a virtual machine, because vCenetr is only used to configure HA and is not required for the failover of the HA.

  • 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)

  • Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    Is it possible to connect my Mac mini to my Mac Pro laptop using the memory on my mac mini for installing software Ableton as I don't have 3 GB available on my Mac Pro.

    I want to download Ableton software, but it requires 3 GB of free memory that I have available on my MacPro laptop not because most of it is used for my library of music because I'm a DJ.

    I'm not sure how I can do it or not at all.

    Thank you very much.

    1. a Mac Pro is not a laptop. Its a big desktop computer.  You probably have a MacBook Pro, which is a laptop.

    2. No, you cannot share the memory (live RAM) or storage (disk space, which is not memory) like that between computers.

    However, it is very very bad practice to have so little storage space available for your computer.   If you have less than 3 GB, you should seriously consider an external drive. and unload some files on the outside. Its best not to leave your hard drive to go below 10 GB of free space because it can seriously affect your computer's performance.

  • Best/better way to install ESX4 on multiple servers

    Hi, I just want to know the best why to install EXS4 on several servers.

    The slower option is of course to put a CD in each server.  But this is not practical, because the number of servers to develop.

    Can someone explain how to set up a simple network installation, using say PXE or one NFS share?  is the easier and more effective.

    Thank you

    I have always used the boot to the media option to install ESX/ESXi... Burn multiple disks and you can have multiple installs at the same time. IF you have a PXE server, you can use it, but you will need to find documentation on that (someone else might have more manageable I do). You will need create answer files and others to get the server configured too. If you're looking to make these quick, with minimal back-end work, burning several discs and go into town like that. ESX/ESXi installs rather quickly, is not as if you look at the hours by the host. Once you have installed ESX/ESXi, shoot them in the vCenter server and use profiles (set up a server, the profile of capture and deploy it to the rest) for a quick setup of the servers (in the same way).

    BTW, guests how much you want to install at the start? Using several media groups, you could easily make several in an hour (5-10). According to servers, there might be ways to distance from them and launch install it from your desktop. If there are the ESX servers, you can also use vCenter Update Manager to upgrade all this without having to touch a single (physically)...

  • used to install iTunes for windows

    Last update of itunes did not or does not install.  Download installation errors.  TBH, I tried so many solutions I forgot if the following was the original errors.  But is not serious... This is what is happening.

    Windows 10 PC.  I tried most of the solutions I found.  Through solutions offerred in HT204275.  Then I uninstalled itunes and its related components and services (software update support for mobile devices, Hello, and 32 and 64 application support).  And folders deleted, etc.  Rebooted, restarted in SafeMode etc etc.  Same mistakes.

    1 error security file C:\... \kdrl\GetLastError:5

    2. failed to start services.

    3. Repeat steps 1.

    I also tried to install the component by component after the opening of itunes6464setup.exe to winrar.

    Basically, it gives me the - error getting file security.  After trying to install apple application support. 32 and 64.

    Go to Mobile Device Support I selected and tried both repair and installation.  Nevertheless he gves me a cannot start service error.  I tried to start it manually, it does not start.  But it says the software good lol (mobiledevicesupport) installed.  Oh is morning then it installs OK, whoopee.  I go to itunes itself 6464.exe.  Will loop to the application supports the error.

    I also tried the solution of adding permissions to a file that I don't remember now.  Also used windows install cleanup utility.

    I am at a loss.  What bothers me, it's too much I'm subscribed to itunes in icloud and itunes game.  good luck getting a refund lol

    I suspect that you should remove the file mentioned in the 1. above.

  • What would be the best video editing and photo editing software to use for an iMac for advanced users?

    My first exposure to video and photo editing is on a PC with Adobe Premier and Adobe Photoshop.  I own a Macbook Air and have used iMovie and iPhoto.  It took me a few years to sort and organize thousands of photos archived and videos.  Now, with the changes in Final Cut Pro and the loss of the opening, I am, even once, sitting on the fence.  Compatibility between the software has always been a controversial issue and that you accumulate more and more files, it would be nice if Apple should keep in mind to develop software that can be upgraded seamlessly without losing or change any data.  For example, the photo is correct, once you become familiar with it. However, personally, I like the way events were created in iPhoto, but also how you can scrub through each event, just sweep a finger of each event.  Now in the Photos, you need to scroll right rows and rows of pictures, which seems to be a step backward when it comes down to the speed and convenience. I finally have the time to go back to my hobby of video editing and I was about to buy an iMac or a Macbook Pro.  What is the best choice for video and photo editing, or should I be looking back to Adobe?

  • T420-best SSD for use in housing Ultrabay caddy?

    What is the best SSD for use in the Ultrabay caddy in a Thinkpad T420?

    Welcome to the forum!

    Any standard 2.5 "7mm or 9.5 mm SSD should work. I'd stick with brands such as Crucial, Samsung or Intel and are looking for the cost lowest to higher capacity. Considering that the T420 is now several years old, that I doubt that go with the SSD that has specifications "faster" will make a difference in practice.

    BTW the Ultrabay works at speeds of SATA-III (6 Gb/s), so it shouldn't be a bottleneck compared to the internal drive Bay.

    Gaara_2k6,
    Welcome to the responses of the Forums.  The short answer to your questions are Yes and no and no.

    Depends on how you format the drive, it will delete everything on the drive.  Now, it may still be recoverable with a software specialist or moving to a data recovery company.

    If you formatted your hard drive you would not be able to start to do anything, because there would be nothing on the startup disk.  With the Windows XP CD or with the recovery media provided by the manufacturer of the PC is the only way to reinstall Windows.
