can I reinstall ESXi 3.5 (u4) safely (without losing data warehouses)

Good evening

I use VMware Workstation for awhile but I'm pretty new in the world of Infrastructure. I'm trying to prove some things on a whitebox House before making a proposal to work. Thus, everything that follows describes my staff, from the production environment, no company

In order to do things according to the needs, I'm juggling with live data between an old linux server, the new ESX host and my personal workstation.

I installed ESXi 3.5u4 on the new host and things work perfectly. I p2v had the old server linux (with all its data) and it is solid as a rock. Life is happy.

I now try to trap a promise 300tx4 and hotswap attached box from the old server and move them to the new server.  I am aware that it's not supported hardware, but I am struck the problem described here: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/186240

I would like, before continuing a HCL card, try reinstalling under 3.5iu2. Otherwise, I would try disabling my onboard Controller (nForce) and just use the promise card.

Since installing ESXi nukes the reader target, I know I'm losing this data store. Is there a way to preserve my other data warehouses, however? They remain available for addition/re-registration under the new facility? I have all supported and in security, but LeRiz, it would be REALLY annoying to have to rebuild that.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

DC

Hello

Yes, he should be all right.

Make sure you just for the re - install that you keep the previous VMFS, otherwise you will lose your VM.

    If the license for Windows 7 Professional, you have access to is a retail version update or complete, you can use the product key and the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Professional. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.

    and RockXP: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4138.html which has additional features.

    There is no Express of Home Basic Upgrade to the professional, so you have bought a license for sale at retail.

  • Reinstall Vista without losing data.

    Trying to fix a friends laptop that has the following error: -.

    File windows\system32\configzsystem status: 0xc000000f

    Windows failed to load because the system registry file is missing or damaged. Can not do a Vista repair it still comes with the above error. I managed to get into the back through recovery cd and copied data via xcopy on external hard drive, so the user data are safe. Via back managed to discover that under system32 config directory is missing and so evrything under him. As I can't get into windows then try a patch upgrade is possible to install Vista without losing data or I have to do a clean install and then copy the data from the user throughout. CD I have is Dell reintallation Vista 32 bit SP1.

    Can you remove the hard drive from the laptop, if so, connect it to a desktop computer to extract the files.

    Note: Depending on the age of the laptop, you need a drive adapter.

    How do you write the command for the conversion of FAT32 disk to ntfs without losing data to an external drive in Windows 7 and how you can convert the local drive too?

    Convert a drive to NTFS does not fit.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/convert-a-hard-disk-or-partition-to-NTFS-format
    (Vista/Windows 7 - it doesn't matter in this case).
     
    However, pay attention to this:
    "Although the risk of corruption or loss of data during a conversion are minimal, you must back up all data on the partition before you begin."
     
    Because something can and probably will happen.

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

    When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.


  • Can I restore without losing data?

    I don't have my Iphone saved on my computer. I need to get out of a boot loop, but I can't update. Is it possible to restore without losing any of my photos, music, etc.?

    You have a backup of iCloud? Or do you mean that you have no backup at all? Has not created a backup before attempting to update the device? Apple recommend a backup before doing any type of update iOS.

    Without a backup, you will lose data. You can recover from your last backup.

  • How can I move video files in windows Explorer without losing metadata in windows media player?

    I'm under WMP 11 Vista.  I have a folder that contains the files in my video (AVI for example).  I organized videos in WMP by manually changing fields of tag for ratings, artists, genre, etc.  I would like to move some video files around in Explorer Windows (in the same drive that is monitored) to arrange my training and records.  When I do this, WMP loses track of the video file as the path is no longer correct, so I would like to add back to the library to help add to the library.  When I do that, the video appears in its new location, but all the metadata is missing.

    Is it possible to move my AVI files to another directory without losing all the metadata, or are never supposed to video files be moved once their metadata has been published in WMP?  Can I enter the new path to the file in WMP or something and have it keep its metadata?  Or is there a way I can get WMP to store metadata on the AVI files as it does with WMVs?

    It seems that there is something missing if metadata of media management is a core feature of WMP and be able to move files autour is a core feature of Windows Explorer, yet the two are not easily compatible.

    I want to just move my video files without losing the work that I put in the metadata.

    Also, what is the reason have advanced tag editor for music files and video files are not?

    Thanks in advance.

    It is not possible.
