Complete noob help please

Hello

Sorry for the really fundamental questions but I never managed any vmware before and I have a problem I don't know the answer to.

I have inherited a box running ESX and host 3 virtual machines. I need to know what I download and manage this box from my windows machine? Years I used to use VirtualCenter to a society of old, but I can't find what I need on the website of vmware. I have no idea what version of esx, I'm running, but I think that the box was built and installed around April 2009 if this is useful.

I have ssh access to the box so can send information that you might need me.

Sorry for the limited info, but I'd appreiciate any help you can give. Especially if I ask in the wrong place.

Thank you

Ja

VMware Server and ESX are two different products.

For VMware Server, please see the administration to http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/server_pubs.html Guide

    I want to add a fingerprint on my iphone 5s, but I can't. It shows unable to complete Setup touchid please go back and try again. Please help what should I do?

      Keep trying. But first, I restart the phone.

      To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

      If she agrees not always the fingerint, reset all settings. No data is affected, but you will have to re-enter all the parameters of the device and the phone will restart on its own. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

      Always make sure your finger is clean, free of any oily substance and the same goes for the home button on the phone.

    • Liteon Cd ROM completely lacking in 'My Computer'. Help, please! (Someone... Please help!)

      Hello.  I tried to contact the OEM directly, but it has been a week and no response.  I hope someone can help me please.  I copy the email below.  Because I sent this e-mail, I found more "evidence" of the prior exestance of CD ROM  Although it is completely zero from 'My Computer', there are a lot of drivers on the computer for him and now I don't think it's the drivers. I don't know what to think, really. "Here are my new results: in Device Manager, under" Liteon CD ROM "(always with an exclamation yelloe on this subject) I tried to run the"Hardware Update Wizard"for her, and I got this response: the wizard did not find a better match for the material that the equipment currently installed. When I look under 'properties', he says: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. When I click to troubleshoot, I get the same message ("Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »).  He (Liteon CD-ROM) is not listed under "config/system/system information system summer/components/multimedia/CD ROM '-there's just an empty space next to"CD ROM ". Even that in "my computer - it's gone."  The CD ROM will not work, but the light is on and it wil eject and accept a disc, but it will not read it. Please look at my email below and please email me with any questions or recommendations. I can't take another sleepless night, trying to "find my CD lost.  It can be a very simple solution - I hope so. But in all honesty, I really don't know what the problem is.

      Dear Sirs,
       
      I'm really, really hoping you can help me. I'm about to lose my mind trying to figure this out by myself.  I can't find a more appropriate contact you, so please forgive me if this isn't in your area or service. If that is the case, Please before my email to the section within your company and let me know. Everything on the official Liteon site I found and (tried to) read is in Taiwanese, and I am unable to read or translate.  If you could (have mercy on me) so help me or point me in the right direction - I would appreciate it very much .  I tried to understand what I have to do for 2-1/2 weeks and I have spent too much time on this when I should be spending time with my kids! :).
       
      My problem is the following... Recently, I ran a clean up/duplicate file registry cleaner program (ARO) and it seems also removed some vital and very much needed files, extensions, drivers, programs and who knows what else.  I had to download several other programs, file extensions and drivers from scratch, in order to get these things working again. But I can not for the life of understand me what to do with my Liteon CD-ROM. I also used the registry cleaner deletes "duplicate files", and after researching (too late), I found that it often confuses some files as duplicates when they are indeed not the same - post or file descriptions are very similar, or disable a single number or letter. I lost a lot of my pictures as well, and I'm heartbroken over. Anyway, the biggest problem I've noticed is that my CD ROM (Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S) will not work. It happened immediately after the registry cleaner 'cleaned' my folders and things - so I guess that's the culprit.  In fact, my computer is not recognizing even the CD ROM at all. It of Completely disappeared-MIA of 'Information/system components' lacks content 'My Computer' and when I try to update the drivers in the only place I can find that show the CD ROM (but with a large yellow explanation
      ! Mark) - in the "Device Manager" , I get the error: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ». Then, when I right click on it and select "Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device", I get the same error: ("Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »). Track only of it (that I can find anyway) is in the 'Device Manager', where even once, it's a big yellow exclamation on the "Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S" here.  It is the only piece of evidence that it ever existed. I've looked everywhere I can think of, in places that I didn't know existed. I've looked everywhere on the internet for the driver for the "Liteon CD-ROM LTN486S' updates but unfortunately, I can't find. There are a few items that refer to the "OEM".  For some reason, I think it's the drivers, but I'm not computer very well informed. It could be something completely different. I wish I could uninstall info CD (only) existing Liteon I can find - and reinstall everything from zero (even do this? Please, tell!). Then... I thought that I contact me Liteon and ask for the drivers. It's at least a Start.  Could you tell me if there is something else I should do or review.

      Hello

      I'm a complete Noob to CF, somehow avoided so far but find myself looking at a CF Web site written for a training company, I'm now consulting at (for various tasks, including the update of their Web site.

      For this site, some of the hyperlinks in the content became broken and I was in charge of updating them. I downloaded the static .cfm, have it edited in Dreamweaver, downloaded the .cfm turn it back on to the server and...

      Nothing has changed!

      I need to rebuild somehow content?

      Please save me from tearing out what little hair I have left out...

      With our thanks,

      Peter

      (I'm currently completely embarrassed that I even had to ask this question!)

      Yes CFML = ColdFusion Markup Language, which may be part of the .cfm, cfc, and cfr files and other if you care about monkey with default file extensions.

      Yes ColdFusion compiles CFML in the code of JavaByte, until the file is executed.  This is done in a just-in-time"compilation method, i.e. when the file is requested by the web server (IIS, Apache, etc.), ColdFusion compile this file, run the compiled code and send the results on the web server.  The time necessary to compile files can a proformance on servers busy, very common problem.  There are options for ColdFusion to save compiled versions so that he doesn't have to make this compilation every time.  You can also configure if ColdFusion checks the date and time of the file compiled with the date-time of the source CFML file to see if the source is newer or not and so if it needs to be recompiled.

      If clearing the cache didn't cause your changes to take effect, you will need to describe more about your installation.  This isn't a place where ColdFusion has problems, it works as advertised.

    • 2015 CC Dreamweaver cannot open or create web files more: message "invalid argument has been found" keep appearing instead. The problem persists even after complete reinstallation. Help please.

      I have Dreamweaver CC 2015 since last year, on a system win 7 with plenty of space and good care.
      Never had any problems until last week, when Dreamweaver stop opening o creation of html or php files. Instead, the program displays an alert of "invalid argument has been found", then stops to do anything.

      I've looked everywhere. I cleaned the resgistry, reset preferences custom, tested different files, with or without content, old and new, even uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CC. Nothing works.

      I install Quora, because I have work to do, but I prefer clearly have CC Dreamweaver working again.

      Need help please, I don't really know what to do.

      Although that is NOT a real solution (now I have to keep a local copy redundant and unprotected and move almost a gigabyte of data, whenever I need to edit a project) work space solves the problem. I still don't know what has changed since before, but I can work again.

      IMO Adobe should at least give notice of this behavior, letting us know that the application does not work because it is restricted to local activities. "This file cannot be saved through a network" or "this program can change the local files" would have sufficed for avoid me a good 5 hours of lost production.

      In the latest version, it has been moved from the menu filters. If you have an older version, then it is possible that photoshop is having a problem with your video card, its driver or preferences. Make sure that photoshop preferences has advanced graphics enabled. If this doesn't work, update the video card driver.

      You could list your system specs, then maybe someone else can lead to a solution.

      PS. I'm a complete NOOB with Powercli, so try to find my way around it yet.

      PPS - if someone has a better VM inventory script - please be so kind as to pointing me to it...

      Thought as well, but I'm afraid he wil cover the possibilities.

      Assume the following:

      VM1, 3 cards, 2 hard drives

      VM2, 2 cards, 5 hard drives

      The order will be VM1, VM2 with the effect that you get 2 hard drives for VM2.

      The alternative I came with us to make Dummy entries and always use the maximum columns for network cards and hard drives.

      If you want to get

      NIC1 NIC2, NIC3 HD1 HD2 HD3 HD4 HD5

      VM1 x x x x x na na na

      VM2 x x na x x x x x

      See if it works for you.
