Chicken and egg?

Crazy question.  I would like to create an openfiler VM (ranging from local disk on an ESX Server) who has access to fiber-channel QLogic card in my server, ESX4 (I assume that through pass through) which would come fully and make its available NFS (the LUN on a SAN logical volume) shares before the ESX Server attempts to connect to the NFS data store.

Sorry if this is just crazy or a matter of repeating.  I could not find in the forums.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forums - No. ESX must come entirely to allow the passage in the LUN

  • Problem of chickens and eggs A1364

    Since yesterday I have an A1364 Airport Extreme (4th Gen) connected to a (rider road Brighthouse) Motorola SB6141 cable modem. If I turn on the modem, then the router, I get the internet on the computer cable, but no wifi on the laptop. If I turn on router and modem, I get the wifi on the laptop, but no connection on the wired desktop.

    Any ideas? -Looking for a starting point. Thank you.

    The question is, most likely, an incompatibility between your modem SB6141 and the AirPort Extreme base station. Unfortunately, this has been a recurring problem and has been reported here several times. There is no device, in itself, bad. They just don't play well together.

  • HP250 G1: slow network,... and more often fails

    OK,... it's the daughter, my cell phone... and it has been dragging for many months as its network performance sucks!... When I try... It seems to work correctly.

    However... I've started using it myself to Antoinette this weekend, and yes she is right it sucks... Sorry (Dear daugther).

    I did in so many of the modules are up-to-date, including the BIOS,... but all update is a problem "chicken and egg", as the network fails usually... I managed to get win 8.1 and recently updated in a large download loading to another portable PC, transfer of pen USB... and the loading on the spot... all seem to date, network... drivers and the problem is present on cable and wired and wireless connections.

    I'm not absolutely sure... (and I'm more than happy to be corrected,.) . but the problem seems almost be associated DNS... failure to access the web site... I can ping my local router... and even ping to an external address from across the globe and get an answer in less than 50 ms... While access to ebay.co.uk or BBC fails and times out...

    I disabled the LAN IPv6 implementation... Although when I loaded the new BIOS... I don't no the default BIOS... Should I do this or is it done by default...

    I tried a reset DNS... This improvement in things temporarily, but response timeout and sligish is back... the command I used was

    > netsh winsock reset

    Someone at - it patch long term...

    What happens when you connect to one another source other than your router wifi?

    Have you tried to use different DNS servers in the router?  Google or OpenDNS maybe?

  • HP Flex10 and config recommended vDS for HA and failover?

    In the last two days I have experienced connectivity issues with my VM and I think I reduced it to beacon probing when is used as a failover mechanism in my groups of port / VLAN. I guess that the broader question "is what the settings recommended for failover based on my hardware configuration"...

    My ESXi hosts run 5.0.0U1 or 5.1.0 I just walking to vCenter 5.1.0a. Hosts are BL460c G7 servers in a c7000 with ICs Flex10 chassis. Each ESXi has a profile of server blade with 4 FlexNICs: a pair for the movement of data all VM (several Tagged VLAN) that belong to a vDS. The second pair is used for all traffic management and (at the moment I have reset) is on a stand-alone vSwitch with untagged traffic.

    Uplinks for each IC go with the Avaya VSP9000 switch. The two VSP9ks are connected by a STI trunk with all the VLAN tagged.

    Initially, I discovered the source of my traffic has dropped with the ARP table of a computer virtual pretend flip flop between the local binding of 10 GB on an Avaya and the link of the IST for the other Avaya (i.e. the uplink of the other IC module was used), which can cause a small temporary loop.

    No matter what method of load balancing I configure in the PG (stick to those supported by VC) and regarless if I have the two dvUplinks marked as Active or a marked as Active and the other as the day before, I see occasional about-face when beacon probing is used.

    I've set up virtual networks in Virtual Connect to use Smart Link, so I hope that Link Status should only be enough.

    Now while I still don't entirely understand beacon probe (I read about it on a few posts), I was hoping that it could provide a little more resilience despite having Smart Link set up on the side of VC.

    So for those of you who have the same hardware configuration, how you have configured your?

    Long term, I would like to bring to the management of virtual machines inside the vDS, mainly to have more flexibility in the management of bandwidth to have a slice of the 10 GB uplink established Virtual Connect level. I tried to put the management in the vDS but failed miserably and I think it's down to a scenario of chickens and eggs and I get the order to execute orders wrong... I'll look in that, once my configuration problem above fundamental network has been sorted.

    Thank you

    regarding overhead... NIOC is... good... but the general rule is that we release the core esx... so if we use more features... it will finally be an overhead projector... and if physical hardware does the same... thing... so it's better... This is why vmware has now VAAI... SRIOV... CPU/Memory unloading... If someone does not have the blades... and then if they have 10gig NIOC is only option...

    http://pibytes.WordPress.com/2013/01/12/multi-NIC-VMotion-speed-and-performance-in-vSphere-5-x/

    Management and vMotion are on the same VLAN (but different IP addresses) - it is recommended to use a VLAN from a safety perspective... and in production, this is how we do it. they can share the same NIC... no problem... but it should be labeled. 2 natachasery with 2gbe is good - I have recently done a comparative analysis of the speed of vmotion in the blade, you can see more info in my blog - http://pibytes.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/multi-nic-vmotion-speed-and-performance-in-vsphere-5-x/

    So a few questions:

    • I understand that you recommend keeping management / management of vMotion in a pair separated from flexNICs way to not give an additional charge within VMware.

    It is not mandatory... we have to use separate NICs... its all based on the customer's environment. But in separate VLANS... of couse VST marking consumes cycles CPU... we can ignore... the world... This is ignored. in case, you can use 2 natachasery with 2gbe to combine the mgmt/vmotion.

    • Y at - it an advantage of splitting management and vMotion in different VLAN but keep in the same uplink (so the VLAN tagging)

    security wise and best practices in production, we use separate VLANS, and we can share the same NIC...... There are some use cases as... that if you have 100 guests... and there may be several vmotions happening at the same time... in this case, we use dedicated pSwitch so that VMOtion traffic will not FLOOD the main switch. so here we use natachasery dedicated... in a small environment and a well balanced and if not on subscription of cluster CPU/RAM, then there is very little happening VMotion... If we can share the same natachasery and same pswitch.

    • Would we be better to use two different pairs of FlexNICs, one for management and one for vMotion using 3 pairs of FlexNICs in total (1 for all data VLAN, one not marked for management and a third no marked for vMotion). If so, I guess you'd give different bandwidths in VC to keep vMotion, nice and fast?

    According to my bench marking... what I did... If we give... 2GbE for vmotion, going too fast... and once again, as I said above... We can combine... or just give 2 natachasery with a bandwidth of 500 MB for mgmt and 2 gig for vmotion for VM traffic rest... * it is a good design... Here, we have isolated physically and VLAN wise as we need to isolate.

    for the low response fo the console... check the DNS resolution... and nothing to do with... the bandwidth. Check the CPU/RAM vcenter and the Vcenter CPU/RAM database...

  • Tips for starting the deployment vCenter and vSphere

    Well, so here's my question, and maybe it's a long one.

    I intend to deploy vSphere/vCenter deployment soon, and I am currently considering a network isolated for management stuff.  My understanding is that to get there, you have ESXi hosts to configure a NETWORK card that is connected to a remote switch and then assign IPs on the same subnet for each machine.  So that's what I would do.  NICs will be connected to a separate switch for the vMotion and the virtual machines on the host computers.

    This leaves me in a quandry minor, however.  I would like to get vCenter configuration on a virtual computer.  And vCenter must be able to communicate with the domain for the domain controllers, right?  What I would do is vCenter configuration, configuration of the distributed vSwitches and hang them up to the network adapters that are connected to the internal network (and therefore the domain controllers) and make sure that everything works correctly.  Once it's over, I want to put in place a couple of VMs who will take over the functions of the DCs and from there, the majority of the servers on the network of virtualization.  Yahoo!

    So, here's the problem, I can say.  If I want the management network server ESXi to be isolated with their own IP addresses, how is the vCenter VM supposed to communicate with the inside network where are domain controllers, because I won't have any installation of vSwitches to other network adapters, because I need to vCenter to create these vSwitches, etc..  Chicken and eggs?  I'm sure that someone has addressed and solved this problem before.  Help?

    Yes, it is what we have done to the SC for the VI Center and each host.  We use a non routable subnet for our network of Vmotion.

    Hello

    It seems many third-party product, change this registry. While the official term is "this register should not be changed whatever", I came across the MSDN documentation in the DDK (device drivers package) tells me that it is a feature taken in charge... chicken and eggs.

    Back UP THE REGISTRY before MAKING CHANGES-> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry

    In any case, here's how I solved this:

    (1) with regedit, located this entry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\CLASS\ {4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    (2) change your key UpperFilters. For FSX and their validation system, they expect that he only reads "PartMgr". In your case, there is big chance that it shows something more. In my case, it was reading:

    Shockprf
    PartMgr

    (3) change the registry to read only "PartMgr".

    4) start FSX, you should now be prompted with the activation dialog box, continue and let start FSX then quit FSX.

    (5) edit back up registry key with your previous contents

    (6) exit regedit and restart the FSX, it should all be fine now!

    How can I do

    Thank you

    Hello

    The only way to get it back as a PC to work directly from the facility, is to get Acer recovery media.

    If you can find/borrow XP CD of the same version (XP/Pro), you can get the operating system implemented using the button on the bottom of the laptop. Then, you have to go to the Acer Web site and download all the drivers and the software you need and install after having established Windows. This could be a situation ' chicken and egg ', without ethernet or wireless drivers that you will not be able to get on the internet. Windows might have native drivers, but if not, the only way to beat this would be for download on another PC that has an internet connection and then transfer by memory stick or other portable media. If you choose this route, you may want to you come back to this forum and research to get the XP installation instructions, this is particularly important if the CD is pre - SP3.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  • computer laptop 15-ac055nr: update the keys died after Windows10 1511

    Hello, after 'agreeing' Win10 two nights back cumulative update 1511 - all my keyboard shortcuts do not work as expected. Most of them do nothing and at least 2 do something other than advertised... seems this 'problem' arrived on the latest updates of OS (Win 7 or 8 Win), don't know if the previous solutions apply here-> but nothing out on the internet yet about Win10 and this problem.

    Expect Microsoft to say, HP HP problem call. Expect HP to tell me Win10 question... classic update Microsoft call h/w - game of chickens and eggs from s/w.

    Any ideas how to recover the shortcut keys? Laptop is quite popular multimedia streamer at home in the evening, so sad to lose the volume controls and screen... you don't know where all that is soft but in settings either. Thnx!

    Well, I can answer my own post!

    My laptop is new, only 2 months so I used option support guaranteed HP.

    More explicit problem behavior is as such: 12 fn keys, 11 were shortened assignment by updating Windows HP. 10 wiped out all HP keyboard shortcut definitions and reallocated to 2 keys to go to windows start menu and help page for Google chrome (weird!).

    Based on another similar question, I had already drilled in the Device Manager settings and HP support had me crushes the keyboard driver (which is only a 2006 pilot PS/2... seems old)... so no surprise driver setting did nothing...

    HP support had me then download and flash the BIOS... as strange as the PC architecture still using a file of 2048 kb to disk BIOS system boot... who did it! I must say that I did not regularly updates the BIOS of the PC manufacturing and it's always the small nail little bite of the to do because it can make a device does not work if it does not stick...

    Thus, it seems that the native HP keyboard shortcut assignment was reset correctly with the BIOS flash, which was totally cool as flashing the BIOS is the only way to see 'the good "ol days' settings screen monochrome low color with large fonts polyhedral. Hey I was already a student in second year at College when the first laboratory of PC with Win 3.1 and mice showed up to plant the day on the BACK and numbered menu selection to launch the 5 or 6 software loading to a PC... the good ' ol days.

    Problem solved! Thank you HP support!

  • Mouse USB, connection loss

    I have a HPE170F of desktop running Windows 7 Home.  About a week or two ago I noticed that the USB devices are briefly drop their connections.

    There are a number of ways, it is the case, but the most common is a slight hiccup in my mouse works.  It is even more obvious and boring everything at stake, there will be a break in the mouse works before returning to normal.

    Usually, but not always, accompanyed with the light sensor / on the bottom of the mouse, go to offshore.

    That usually doesn't happen until the program and a computer were aired for a while, and it feels like it is becoming more frequent, more I play, and breaks to lie down in the long term.

    Sometimes I have to disconnect a USB device and plug it back again so that it can work.

    Sometimes, even unplugging / plugging does not work.  Usually when this happens, all USB devices stop working and the computer must be restarted with the power switch.

    I tried several mice in different USB ports (front and rear) with no difference.

    The USB keyboard and a USB drive have similar traits (the player will suddenly disconnect and reconnect).

    I tried with no peripheral USB connected other than the keyboard and mouse.

    I went into Device Manager, removed and hubs USB again detected and disabled the option to allow the computer to turn off the devices.  It made no difference.

    I have run virus scans, auditor system files and verified that everything is up to date.

    Am that I up to this got to be a motherboard problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but it led naturally to a little problem of chickens and eggs.  This HP desktop computer has only USB (wells and firewire) ports, so at some point during the withdrawal of all USB devices, I eventually remove those for the keyboard and mouse, which means of course I have to restart with the power switch.

    I think I can have tracked down the problem, and I think it was a number of things.  I think that my mouse original (the HP base that came with the computer) crumbles.  I don't know why it does this, but my registry contained dozens of entries for my HP mouse (perhaps even one for each time it was unplugged and reconnected).  All entries in mouse are perhaps why the other mice were who have disorders.

    I cleaned the registry and I changed to a mouse of difference and so far I have not seen the problem again.

  • HP 2515 - software has stopped working

    Hello

    I have a HP Deskjet 2515 advantage all-in-one printer works very well.

    I installed the driver/software that came on the CD. Then, I kept all these programs duly updated.

    Now, for some reason, the "HP Deskjet 2510 series" program stopped working.

    When I click on the icon on my desktop, nothing happens.

    It is a very useful program and I sorely miss, especially to clean the print heads.

    Why it has stopped working? I know that the program is in the appropriate directory. I tried to remove it and install again, but nothing helped.

    The target is: 'C:\Program HP HP Deskjet 2510 series\Bin\HP Deskjet 2510 series.exe' - UDCDevicePage to start

    Begins: "C:\Program HP HP Deskjet 2510 series\Bin\"

    With thanks advance,

    Hello everyone and especially MissTeriLynn!

    Well, I'm happy to be able to announce that I managed to solve the problem. That's what I did:

    As you know, I was unable to remove the corrupted HP software program because I was missing the DIFxAPI.dll file.

    And I couldn't reinstall the new HP software because he thought that he was already present on my PC! A situation real chickens and eggs.

    As I wrote also, DIFxAPI.dll file was indeed present on my PC: once in Windows/System32/and once more in Windows/SysWOW64/but, obviously, it was necessary to be present somewhere else for the uninstall program work properly. But where?

    Then I went to Windows/SysWOW64/and I copied the DIFxAPI.dll file. that I then glued in each HP and Hewlett-Packard directory and subdirectory that I could find on my PC, mainly in the main program (x 86) directory.

    I tried uninstalling the software and it worked! The uninstall program of necessary program so the file DIFxAPI.dll present in the HP directory.

    I then ran the latest version (4.4 - a few days ago) of HP Scan and print Doctor. He correctly identified my printer and also the fact that no software has been installed. Then downloaded the latest package and installed. The problem is finally solved.

    Once again, thank you for your patience and for your comments.

    See you soon,.
