• is there a way to transmit a USB device to the computer, the guest computer, using PowerCLI virtual?

  Hi guys,.

  I installed the vSphere PowerCLI on my machine. It is possible to map a USB device connected to my machine in a vSphere VM via command line? I am able to do currently using the vSphere client user interface.

  When I went though the PowerCLI documentation I could find only 'Get-UsbDevice' and 'Remove-UsbDevice. I need something to add Usbdevice and the list of USB devices. Please let me know if there is a way to do this command line. Appreciate your help in this matter.

• How to upgrade a MAC address of a computer using Orchestrator virtual

  Hello

  I'm trying to update the MAC address of a virtual NETWORK adapter using a workflow orchestrator. I found ways to get the MAC address and put it in arrays, etc., but I fight to be actually able to update the MAC address on the virtual machine itself. I am trying to create a workflow that will allow me to manual in a vNIC set the MAC address and the MAC address.

  Any advice or pointers in the right direction would me most appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Dominic

  Initially, I thought you said you had some network information already loaded into a table.  My sample code provided just what I thought, you may need the "generateMacAddress" and the loop for probably isn't necessary.  You can simply do:

  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  var deviceConfigSpecs = new Array();
  var deviceConfigSpec;
  var II = 0;
  Add Network
  deviceConfigSpec = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vc.vm.spec.config.device").createVirtualEthernetCardNetworkConfigSpec (network, macAddress);
  deviceConfigSpecs [ii ++] = deviceConfigSpec;
  List of devices
  configSpec.deviceChange = deviceConfigSpecs;
  the virtual machine update
  task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (context);

  I'm not exactly sure how works reconfigure it.  Do could end up adding a new device, or replace the existing one.  You might want to try Onyx (you can find it on the VMware Labs site).  You can turn that on and then go and make the changes via vCenter and it should save all the steps for you.  You can export it in javascript as well.

  Hello

  I'm trying to find a way to change the order of boot virtual machine using Powershell VI. Is there a possibility cmdlet to do?

  As much as I know there is no way to change the boot order in the virtual machine with the VITK.

  But you can configure devices which the guest can start.

• How config VM for SQL 2008?

  I'm under ESXi 4 on a Dell of 710 on the SDCard with Raid 10. I have 12 GB of ram (soon to go to 48 since this server was going to be something else) with double Quad-cores. I am running WSUS as a virtual machine and SQL 2008 all 64 bits but uses SQL to the time as a virtual processor. All this in the same data store. I have an another data store on the same server and these 2 drives are Raid 1, but I have not yet used. Everything is contained in a box and will always be like that.

  1 can be located the SQL and the virtual machines with the help of it in the same data store or leave I better to put on various Raids?

  2. I want to add Sharepoint which uses also SQL 2008, if it was another instance of SQL2008?

  3. the amount of ram (assuming I'm 48 concerts) and the number of processors should I call?

  Thank you

  Gary,

  without knowing what we take on the workload, it is not easy to answer your questions.

  However, we will try to find answers for you.

  Material:

  S ' ensure that your hardware is listed on the HCL. (Server, RAID controller,...)

  -For optimal performance, you must use SAS HDD and battery backup cache writing. Write cache - in my opinion - is essential!

  Licensing:

  -You can save or lose a lot of money thanks to a license.

  -With 1 license of Windows Server Enterprise (2003R2 plus) MS grants you the right for up to 4 virtual machines on 1 physical server.

  -SQL2008 to take a look at the millisecond of license. Depending on the version, you will need to purchase a license by vCPU.

  Installation:

  -Make sure you configure your data warehouses VMFS with the size of the desired block (1-8MB) for the maximum size of VMDK you expect.

  -If you use Windows 2003 server, be sure to align the partitions of the virtual machine!

  -Best practices for reading MS for SQL installations. (Alignment, partition NTFS block size,...)

  Now we will answer your questions:

  1.) depending on the workload and the SQL recovery mode (base, in bulk, plenty) it may make sense to have vmdk on different logical drives (spindles). With the hardware you have I recommend you to create up to 3 virtual drives (OS, data SQL, transaction logs). Put the OS and data on the RAID10 and newspapers on the RAID1.

  2.) well, again it depends on the workload. If a SQL Server is not enough you can save the money for a second license of SQL.

  3.) recommended is to assign as many vCPU and as much RAM as you need. You can always adjust the settings if necessary thereafter. Remember SQL server licenses when adding additional vCPUs.

• PROBLEM CONNECTING TO SQL 2008 EXPRESS WITH ASP CLASSIC BETWEEN THE WORKSTATIONS ON A PRIVATE NETWORK

  I have created a private network (no internet connection) of four workstations, each running a SQL Express 2008 installation.  All four laptops are running Windows 7 Professional.  I created a homegroup for this private network.  While I don't care sharing of files between the four workstations, I have three of them in order to connect to the SQL 2008 Express database on the fourth mobile through channels of connection in the classic ASP programs.  Each of the four laptops can see others in the network.  I can ping the ip addresses of each to the other without any problem.  When I try to launch the ASP program on three laptop computers that attempt to connect to the SQL database on the fourth, I get the server does not exist or don't access denied error '80004005'.  The same program can also run on the fourth laptop and connects to the SQL database with no problems.  I tried to use SQLOLEDB and SQLNCLI10 provider in the chain of connection on the other three.  This operation fails.  I tried to add the IP address of the computer hosting the database as a Data Source in the connection on the other three string and still fails.  Named pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.  Each laptop can connect to the instance of SQLEXPRESS executed on each, but I need three to be able to connect to the instance of SQL Express running on the fourth.  Any ideas what I can do wrong?  This connection string works fine in the ASP program to connect to the local database on each laptop:

  Connection.Open "PROVIDER = SQLOLEDB; Server = computername\sqlexpress; UID = MyUser; PWD = MyUserPassword; DATABASE = MyDatabase ".

  Nothing seems to work for the chain of connection than the other three laptops to do to connect to this database on the fourth laptop.

• Microsoft Cluster in vSphere using RDM disks

  Gentlemen, I have doubts that sounds simple, but it is better to ask than to the hurt things.

  Here, in the company where I started work two weeks ago. We have two servers of files Windows Server 2012, both are part of Microsoft Cluster Services, these two servers are virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5, each on a host, here we use vCenter HA and DRS.

  Well, these file servers 03 RDM disks connected to the fibre channel, storage only disks are online only on node 1, node 2 drives are present in the computer Manager, but marked offline.

  To my knowledge, my experience of simple Microsoft cluster, the disks must be online on all nodes for disaster recovery is quick, for example through cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server R2 of 2012 using iSCSI storage and always leave the disks online on all nodes.

  My question is: is there a reason why a node drives remain online and the other node is taken offline? Because of RDM technology?

  I can then do disks on node 2 as well as online without risk?

  I'm an environment that left another analyst configured, had never made Windows Server 2012 in virtualized VMware vSphere servers cluster using RDM disks, so made the questions, so instead of simply in clicking on node 2 of disks and makes them online it is better to ask before

  Thank you!

  Ivanildo, is the normal Windows Server Failover Clustering behavior, since it is an active/passive cluster architecture, where a single node read/write a disk at a time, and is not a problem due to the use of RDMS in vSphere environment.

  The bellow image show two discs a WSFC, where 6 disk Offline on that particular node and the 7 disc is online:

  

  And, do TRY not to put the disks as offline being online on another node through disk management, this task must be performed by using the Failover Cluster Management console.

• SQL 2008 Clustering on VM workstation 8

  Dear all,

  I am trying to configure SQL 2008 clustering on VM workstation 8. Until now what I did I would describe you below.

  (1) install Windows 2008 R2 64-bit VM001

  (2) install Windows 2008 R2 64-bit VM002

  After the creation of the above VM, I packed two HDD a VM001 follow the steps.

  • I created two discs Quorum drive, then a drive information.
    

  Then select each drive and delete in material management thing.

  Now I sail in the directories where my Virtual Machines is kept and VM001, open the .vmx file in Notepad. and add lines folloing the end of the file.

  When I added above lines, two virtual machines (VM001 and VM002) were closing in.

  Then I did following steps.

  • Start VM001.
    
  • Right-click on desktop of | Manage the. Navigate to the disk management node.
    
  • Make sure that both drives are Of Basic Volumes.
    
  • Quickly put in the form and bind them to the letters lead for example; Q and R (quorum and resources).
    
  • Then start VM002
    
  • From the node Management disk in the Management Console, you should see both drives.
    
  • I just 'change' their drive letters.
  
  
• Give them the same drive letters you gave them for VM001.


• Stop the server.
  

Now can someone please guide me the steps to set up the SHARING STORAGE and configuration on the addition of CLUSTERING in WINDOWS 2008 R2 64 BIT. EA

Windows 2008 clustering requires the support of SCSI-3 persistent reservation on drives that is not provided by VMware "shared SCSI bus" configurations or one of the 'open source' iSCSI targets The best way to get W2K8 go clustering is to use something like target RocketDivision StarWind iSCSI (http://www.rocketdivision.com/) to offer 'shared' storage, then use the W2K8-built-in iSCSI initiator to connect to cluster storage...

• Virtulize SQL 2008 on ESXi 4.1

  We have a web application that uses SQL 2000 on the backend currently and this application is undergoing restructuring heavy, part of the redesign will replace the SQL Server on the backend. I have recommended virtualization it but developers are completely against it. Here's what it would look like.

  1 VM Server 2008 R2 running with 2 vCPU and 8 GB of memory, the latest version of SQL 2008 installed, it will very probably a dedicated area with VMware installed for this SQL server computer. SQL and SQL data will be installed on a drive on the SAN will be mapped as a RDM. The drive from the old SQL Server is using right now is regularly between 100i/o ps and ps 200i/o and occasionally spikes to 2000i/o ps. Readers of the San are 15 disks SAS k that can support up to 9000i/o ps when spread across all drives.

  I did some research but have not found much running SQL 2008 on ESXi 4.1 in addition to what I find is running SQL on 3.5 and did not have good experiences. I would like to get the reactions of the other experience with a similar setup.

  Thank you very much in advance

  Please take a look at the Performance and scalability of Microsoft SQL Server on VMware vSphere 4

  MS has also some recommendations and best practices for SQL Server about the alignment of drive for example, size of unit NTFS 64 k... (see Disk Partition alignment Best Practices for SQL Server)

  I know that this user has the right to change the database and I know that it is not a firewall issue, as I tested it with the firewall off the coast.

  Help would be appreciated!

  It seems that, because I use the Windows Authentication Mode, there is no need to use the UID and PWD in the connection string. in fact, its use causes the error.

  DRIVER = {SQL Server} SERVER =\SQLEXPRESS.

  DRIVER = {SQL Server} SERVER =. \SQLEXPRESS;

  Can be used when connecting to the SQL 2008 Express Server.
