configuration of vCOP and licensing NOOB question

Friends,

I searched for a few loads solution / reporting for vSphere environment and after a few days with Veeam One

I downloaded vCOP test to see if it's something I need (apparently...)

Unfortunately I have not understande what wrong with my way of thinking... I see a license key on the evaluation of product mywmare page - but the auto-generated license key

vCOP in web view client is different. In Operations Manager, I see only three tabs: operations, environment and alerts... I see no reports etc...

In configuration I see service running, connected vcenter, the status of 'authorized' product

Where is the flaw? Versions? Is it necessary to change the license but how?

Please advice; I think that it is something so obvious that I can't find a solution online...

Many thanks in advance,

P

Hello

  • Adding 2nd vCenter to vCops and licenses?

    I have vCops configured for our internal vCenter.  I want to add an instance of vCenter for the same TIME vCops and Rackspace.

    I can just go to vcops/Admin, click new record, enter the information credenital and wait that will instantiate the new vCenter in vCops vCops?

    Also, can I need separate license key that needs to be entered into the RackSpace vCenter, or that it will be able to use the licenses available from the internal vCenter (which has enough licenses for the two environments).

    Thank you

    -MattG

    It could save the extra vCenter with the vC existing instance VAPP Ops.  The vCenter Server internal licenses apply.

    According to your avg latency and bandwidth available to the instance of Rackspace and the number of virtual hosts, you may experience some problems.  In other words, if you have 100 guests and 1000 VMs so it could be a problem.  A much smaller (10 guests/100 VM) environment may work OK.

    Maybe it's that you would like just to establish a circuit virtual instance Ops as vCenter and divide your license key.

    It would be great if you shared your experience after setting this up.

  • ASA5505 VPN-VLAN and licenses requirements question

    Hi all -

    I want to know if an ASA 5505 can perform the following operations, and what type of license may not be required to do this:

    -Provide several subnets / VLAN, a port on the mode of the trunk 5505 in 802. 1 q so that a wireless access point can see all the VLANS.

    -Provide a tunnel VPN L2L to an ASA5520, such as _all traffic_ leave two or more local area networks virtual/subnets would be transported through the VPN, while another virtual local network (Internet comments) would not be passed through the VPN and would go directly to the ISP.

    -that a permit is required to provide the circuits on a port of the ASA and several VLANS?

    The idea is that the ASA 5505 would be on a remote site.

    One Vlan at this place would be the 'business' network, and a VLAN would be invited Internet.

    Enterprise Vlan would need to have all the packages to and since this Vlan sent through the VPN, including access Internet from the corporate PC.

    Comments Internet Vlan would be any transits the VPN and would be sent directly to the ISP (cable, Internet access)

    A Meraki AP would be connected to a trunk port on the SAA, providing WiFi public and also WiFi business.

    The subnets used by these SSID would be the VLAN defined on the SAA for public and corporate traffic.

    Note that this isn't "divides the tunnel" in the traditional sense of the term, where the remote PC company would send only corporate-interesting-traffic

    on the VPN and the PC company would have access to the Internet directly.

    The intention is that the traffic Internet-bound business PCs would be sent via the VPN to go through a filter of web content in the internal data center,

    and Internet comments traffic would not be sent to the internal data center.

    The ASA 5505 should be able to do what you describe as your needs. Should the safety license more to support circuits and features for several VLANs.

    This link may provide additional details that might be useful for you.

  • Licensing noob question

    I have a server with 2 processors with an Essentials kit license with 4 virtual servers on this subject.  I do not much that is delicate, once these virtual servers are set up.   I don't have a SEM, just a raid array that I accidentally subdivided for each server in windows. 

    I have another server with 4 processors which is inactive.  At the end of the day, I migrate VMs from the old to the new, and I see some posts suggesting veeam for this.  Can I buy an another kits essentials (2 cpus ea, $500 + exg v5 license or maybe 2 kits over $ 1000?) to hold an appropriate license and migrate to this server?    Or do I have 4 standard licenses (one for each UC, $4000).  

    Just as quickly, I not drop an extra $3 K for this.  I'll probably try HyperV at this time, since it's free.

    Unfortunately the Kits Essentials only supports up to 3 guests with a maximum of 2 physical processors. With more than 2 Sockets you must go with the Standard licenses or superiors.

  • NooB question: Cup titles and a schedule of transfer

    Let's say I have tons of tracks.  In the Middle, I find I want to firm up a few seconds of footage.  I can cut, or delete the clip, but I still have to select all the following clips and make sure they move upward.  There must be a smarter way of removing a few seconds of footage and moving upward?

    Sorry for the noob question, I searched on google and didn't know what to look for.  I am open for more information that can help me to tighten my research thus.  See you soon.

    The answer will probably depend on more factors:

    Are there in your Timeline, Clips above the area of the Clip you want to Trim?

    What you want to happen to those?

    Are you only concerned to "strengthen" the Clips on the same video track where you cut, or Clips on other tracks video too?

    It is likely that the tool Edit Ripple, or Rt-click and Ripple delete, will do what you want, but who can count on the other Clips on other tracks, and video that you need.

    Good luck and please let us know a little more.

  • Noob question: Playbooks all have the same performance?

    I know... noob question. I am to complete my first game PlayBook and before I submit the app store I wanted to make sure that hardware performance will be the same on all the playbook or will it be something because of the performance issues on a per-device basis? I hope that this will be similar to a console where you can expect stable performance. THX.

    All devices (currently) work the same in the same conditions.

    That does not mean, however, that you can treat it as a console.  A console runs only a game and nothing else (in general).

    The PlayBook can run multiple applications, and among other things, a user can 'Behavior of the Application' setting configuration Mode Showcase, default, or standby, what determines if your application runs or stops when it is idle.  If they are in window mode, they may have other things at the same time.

    To a first approximation, however, "even in the world" is probably correct, for now.  Don't forget there will be different tablets in the future, with specification different but compatible with your app... not quite like a console there where many games is basically orphaned (or requires a port) when a new generation comes out.

  • A single vCops VAPP arrive at a cluster of Std vCops and a cluster of businesses vCops?

    Looking to design a vSphere Management Cluster using vCloud Suite STD (Std vCops) and a Production Cluster using vCloud Suite Enterprise (vCops Ent).   If I connect the vCenter vCops that handles both of these licences of vCops, is vCops smart enough to allow the right license for each cluster based on how to assign the licenses?

    The reason why I want to do it is because I don't want to lose vCloud Suite Ent licenses on a cluster of vSphere management, but still want vCops Std to manage the infrastructure of virtual machines in the cluster.

    Thank you

    -MattG

    vCOps can use only 1 license key at the time, so it will only work in a single edition at some point.

    If you want to have 2 different deployments under license, you will need 2 vCOps different deployments in the same vCenter. You will need 2 keys vCOps - 1 for vCOps STD and 1 for vCOps Ent. A unit of vCOps will have access to / collect resources for the MTS, the other for the resources of the NTS. License will be assigned to each appropriate vCOps deployment. You must have a device of vCOps (last registered member) configured as the extension in vCenter for the web client feature.

  • D.I. box noob question

    Hi all

    Sorry for the noob question, but I need something clear up if possible. I was about to buy a box for injection and then had a query on them, and if I actually could benefit in this scenario...


    Fig 1. is how I currently record.

    Fig 2. is how I would do it with di direct box

    diag.jpg

    My question is... in this configuration, the d.i. box would make a difference to the signal? or he would only make a difference if I was going to live guitar to box, the sound card?

    Thank you for all your help.

    In my opinion you have basically three alternatives for the recording of the guitar:

    1. get an amp excellent sound, recording with a microphone, or more, in a room of good survey.

    Challenges: you'll probably need a studio proper, or at least no neighbours, because it could become LOUD. It takes time and experience of mike a good amp and even microphones expensive (several). Result depends on the acoustics of the room more than you think.

    Another way here, is to get/build an isolation area around your amp, which will be a kind of micro studio for it, allowing you to play hard and with a good tone, but in a more controlled environment. Many advantages for this make. Unfortunately, the expense can also be 'pro' - but I don't know there are DIY solutions.

    2. record of the amp 'dry' via either its line (send FX will also) or use a ' soaking power allowing you to put the amp (some sounds so much better AMPS), but with a low volume in the room. You can connect the device of soaking directly, or give the speaker the "tame" signal and mike the amp without disturbing the neighbors that it now. Good power soaks don't come cheap (?). Dry recording, for example by not using mike, often sounds like this: dry. It depends on your style of music, but an electric guitar should probably be considered an acoustic instrument. Instead of a diaphragm in wood, it has a speaker. The sound, often, we want to achieve is an amp of good sounding in a good room, which is an acoustic sound. You simply cannot get to an exit row or direct to a soaking of output power (not president). He needs treatment.

    3 use a program like GuitarRig, Amplitube etc. No installation required, regardless of the size of the room and acoustic sound (except that the acoustics of the room always will affect listening!) or mike. The software simulates the amps, effects and even mic configurations; added the "airplane" that you will not get a direct connection. Once again, according to your style. If I were Bill Frisell or Jim Hall, i.e. anyone with an as most of their music very "naked" guitar sound, I probably does (but these guys have access to the great engineers too...), but in a pop idom / mixed rock with other instruments and certainly to do demos, that's actually what I would recommend. Especially for us space challenged who have neighbors and an infinite time either. No, you will not look like 'all the world'; It's garbage in French - garbage out as always (many are disappointed by the present, but some are happy, it is always the case)

    All you need is a sound card with an instrument of entry. If you have a * good * sound card already who is not entered instrument, you can consider a DI box. Otherwise I'd say it's redundant.

  • Pavilion x 1035: upgrade to SSD and a few questions.

    Sorry if some of these questions have been answered, but I've been reading for hours and really have not found an answer.

    I have a x 1035 Pavilion M6

    (1) I have a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO HD I would install. According to the properties of the disk my Pavilion is a space 576 GB HD is this drive to small or compress it used cloning of adjustment (sorry showing 446 GB)?

    (2) I still have to make the recovery disks, but it would be better to do a new install?

    (3) I have a full version W7 can this be used? I don't have product key for my current installation, but do not know if I remember receiving OEM disc.

    (4) I did a more recent return as today, can I restore back to who?

    (5) th DVD rom can be removed and allows you to add a second HD?

    Yes, you can use an optical drive bay adapter to fit a second hard drive. You see this as purely for storage because: 1. not bootable. and 2. turns at SATA I have 150 Mbps speed only. Still fast enough to playback video, but much slower than SATA-III 600 Mbps.

    The best way to transfer settings is with Windows Easy Transfer. Make the 'old computer' Easy compressed Transfer of the old installation file, save on an external and then use the "new computer" transfer tool on the new configuration. Adjustment of the installation of the new on the SSD using the same Userid as the original installation made work better. It will transfer more stuff as Favorites, recorded the wireless identification information and other things which otherwise is very much work to reproduce. You can also use Easy Transfer to move docs, pictures, etc. on or just configured to save and transfer settings.

  • How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

    Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

    I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

    This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

    "From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

  • EA4500 + ADSL router: networking noob question

    Then... I'm not sure of the right words to use, but this is the case I would appreciate the help. I tried to figure out how to survive myself, but I find it a little confusing - however, if you think I just need a networking 101 do not hesitate to send me to appropriate information sources (I've tried a few, as I say, but I have not yet found a place where my situation fits!).

    Quick back story: I have a cheap TalkTalk ADSl router (D-Link 3680) where the Wireless does not properly in the House. So I just got a DSL EA4500 router for better strength/speed/compliance wireless - you'll just have to forgive me for not having an ADSL router, which I realize may have been a simpler solution!

    First of all, I put the (D-Link of TalkTalk 3680) ADSL router in Bridge mode and got this and the EA4500 work together which was great as it goes. However, I would be hard...

    I have a tower PC and wish to receive wired ethernet network. While I know in the set - up above I can run a cable from the 3680 to the EA4500 and then another cable to the PC because the PC is closer to the telephone (with the ADSL router) Jack, physically it seems wiser, if I take the PC of the 3680 ethernet connection (along with a second cable 3680 to EA4500 connection for the wireless). It may or may not be relevant that the 3680 is a Fast Ethernet output, as is the network PC card (i.e. are not Gigabit).

    I don't know (a) whether the above configuration is possible and if yes, how, or (b) the question whether in terms of networking, it is best to cable to the EA4500 computer (even if this will create a longer path to the PC and the wiring more).

    Meaning, and if yes maybe someone could give me also a term for what I'm doing?

    Help gratefully received! Garreth

    3680 port LAN (bridge) => EA4500 Port WAN (router)-online PC peripherals and wireless

    It's the best configuration and nothing should be connected to the 3680 other than the EA4500.

    The physical location of the electronics is not important, unless you can not run cable or wireless signal is low.

  • Cloning and licenses

    I have 16 laptops that I use for the safety tests.  They must be wiped out and reconfigured after business travel.

    We have been under XP SP3 so far, but we must move on to Vista.  Professional Vista licenses are available from our KMS on the field (that I do not have access to), but we do not know how this will all work together.

    When you destroy a domain Vista workstation, then reconnect it. will he get the same license?  In the same way that a machine can pull the same reserved IP address from the DHCP server, as it is MAC address has not changed?

    If anyone has any advice on this subject would be great, but I guess I would especially need a resource to learn all of the questions I should ask here.  Maybe a link that explains how Vista, cloning and licenses all work together.  Sorry if this all sounds vague.

  • vCOps and vCenter Collection levels

    How the collection-level, I have to configure in vCenter affect vCOps?  VCOps will retain the same amount of statistics and the granularity no matter what vCenter level collection with that Server is configured?
