Configure a DNS SERVER to use SCANNING for Solaris virtual machines
Version of the grid: 11.2.0.3Planning of a two node RAC cluster
I create a CAR with Solaris VM setup in my office. Although a virtual machine configuration, I don't want to use the file/etc/hosts for name resolution that I will completely test SCAN. That is to say. All the ANALYSIS VIPs turning way responsive when nslookup is run.
I can do one of my 2 RAC nodes a DNS server?
If anyone has any document on Linux/Solaris, please let me know.
Hello
technically Yes, but it won't help you in a way. If the node with the DNS server dies your cluster will not work properly more.
However, for a test cluster, you don't need DNS. You can simply stay with 1 address for the SCAN, which is quite enough (for the test, no production). No need to go through the DNS installation. It would be an exaggeration to this configuration of VBox.

How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?
After you create a virture machine and put the CD of driver on host, when powered on the vertual machine, may not start the drive form the CD only from NIC.
How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?
Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

Find out which DNS server is used.
Is their a website I can use to show what DNS server is using my PC. I am aware/all IPCONFIG can be used, but it can give false information in certain circumstances.
It is not a way to see this on a web site. The servier DNS is used to search a web site but is not him are communicated.
I'm not sure what you mean by IPCONFIG/all can give false information. If you are connected to a router, ipconfig displays normally the gateway of the router address. To see the real DNS used, connect to your router and check the settings there. -
Hello gentlemen,
I can not only save this virtual machine with Backup Exec 2014 for a long time.
They are there was no snapshot in snapshot Manager.
Could you help me?
Hello
I found the solution.
I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.
and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.
I did and now there works.
I think that the problem can come from this.

I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'
I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.
Can someone help me?
Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.
(I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)
1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):
2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:
This one is for external access to the Internet:
And this one for intranet communications AD:
3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:
For Internet access:
Then, you need allow this connection to share:
And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:
4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.
5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:
6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):
7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!
Continue with steps [5-7].

Definition of levels of booking for a virtual machine
The vcloud usage meter says:
NET points = (vGB hours X points per 1 GB reserved RAM) / hours per month
A month calendar of 30 days, a service provider uses the vCloud package provider services - first Edition to configure its virtual machine with 16 vGB for 15 days and 48 vGB 15 days remaining. The level of booking for the virtual machine is set to 75 percent for the whole month.
15 days x 24 hours x 16 vGB x 0.75 = 4 320 hours of vGB
15 days x 24 hours x 24 vGB (vGB 48 x 0.75 but capped at 24 GB) = 8 640 hours of vGB
Total number of hours of vGB = 12 960 hours of vGB
Total points = 12 960 vGB hours ÷ 720 hours / month x 7 points (for Prime Minister) = 126 points
Where "the level of booking' for a virtual machine? Is - this talk on VM bookings each parameter in vCenter Server, or do something to the extent of consumption vCloud himself?
Hello. The reservation level is set for each virtual machine, using a vSphere Client or API.

Affinity processor for a virtual machine
I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.
I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?
Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused? :|
Hi confused,
Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.
The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.
I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).

VCenter shows a network for a virtual machine that is not associated with any host
I have a win2k3 VM who at one point had a network assigned to him called "MONITORING". This network is configured is no longer in the ESXi (5.5) environment. The virtual machine is connected to a network called "PRD-SURVEILLANCE" which is correct. It's not really cause a problem, but I can't find a way to get rid of the object of MONITORING network.
In VCenter MONITORING networks has a VM of 1 meter, the number of hosts of 0. I also see it in the VM - dialog box, change the settings, but there is no option to remove it. Profile Image to the virtual machine is version 10 so I can't use the old Client of VI to try to remove it. I have checked each host and do not see this listed network object.
I tried to restart the VM, it migration between hosts, changing its network of SURVEILLANCE of PRD to another network and vice versa and close - remove NIC and add a new card network. MONITORING legacy network still appears in the config.
For the virtual machine's .vmx file shows that the correct network: ethernet0.networkName = 'RDP-ANALYSIS '.
Any suggestions on how I can remove the artifact of MONITORING network?
The virtual machine has a preview that was created at the time where the MONITORING network was still affected?

Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...
IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.
Thank you.
= NOTE =.
My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0
Dv01 has
Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = dv01-BOOT
Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS
VM02 has
Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT
Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS
Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01
I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:
(160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot
Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast
Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow
Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)
LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.
I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT
No disks are IO or claim of space.
But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??
Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?
Thank you...
At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

WAIT % - % IDLE, what is the average for a virtual machine?
I did some research on performance of VM problems and worked with the media to see that there is maybe a bottle neck IO that occur with a virtual VMware machine I have performance problems on. The technician found that the WAITING % - % IDLE on average for this virtual machine is around 200%. The tech said it was abnormally high. I forgot to ask her what was normal but wanted to put a post to see if some people out there know what they are on average. What is an average number of see? I have the system done nothing right now and I see 579% waiting and 372% IDLE. The technology has been able to confirm that no IO queue was occurring in the VMkernel or on the HBA controller.
Some average % positions would be useful. Thank you.

Supposibly the amount of time in a State of waiting for I/O is the WAIT - IDLE % difference. I was wondering if anyone had the numbers for this feeling. Is there anyone with some of them?
Q: How will I know the VCPU world waiting for I/O events?
A: WAIT - % IDLE % can give you an estimate on how much time processor is spent waiting for I/O events. It is an estimate only, because the world wait perhaps for other than the i/o resources. Note that we should do it only for the worlds of the WWW, not the other kind of worlds. Because the VMM worlds represent the best guest behavior. For the disk i/o, another alternative is to read the disk latency stats that we explain in the drive section.
WAIT % by itself cannot be used, you must develop and examine the individual vCPU % EXPECTATION values and subtract their idle time. You can't do it on the initial view of a single line by VM CPU in esxtop. If technology that you mentioned did not explain it, he doesn't know what it takes.
I have lots of virtual machines that are never less than 300% when I wait - % idle and I have no problems.
It is an example, I caught NimSoft server:
DHSNMS1 100 100 5 192.63 193,80 0.24 0.03 291,44 1.04
%EST USED (s) 192 - in other words, almost two processors are used 100%
The %Idle is 1.04% WAIT 291.44 - according to the calculation of waiting idle, I have a super serious problems of e/s past But this isn't the case, and expanding, I can see that.
5665 vmware-vmx 100 1 0.09 0.11 100.00 0.00 0.00 0.01
5667 100 vmassistant.566 1 0.62 0.65 99,63 0.00 0.00 0.00
5703 100 mks:DHSNMS1 1 0.01 0.01-100.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
5704 vcpu 100 - 0:DHSNMS1 1 32,35 32.88 67,28 0.28 0.11 67,14
5705 vcpu 100 - 1:DHSNMS1 1 31,58 32.05 68.11 0.00 67.85 0.12
So the changed values unfortunately because of ESXTOP bike when you develop... which is annoying, but anyway. In this you see % waiting is 67 and 68 with another respectively being 3 to 100% (which is normal) and the idle being %, 0, 0, 0, 67 and 67.8. Doing the calculation on the processors shows a wait - slowed virtually 0 - or very little IO wait past with processors. But if you add up all the expectations of % and % is idling, you have 434ish, and the 134ish and do the calculation is the difference of 300 - which is the 3 who are always 100%.
So there is no way we can answer your question, we can only help you to understand how the values should be interpreted.
Waiting for i/o States almost always go on the disc anyway, it is unlikely, therefore, the network or the user entered, looking at the stats of disc ESXTOP is a much better way to determine if there is a problem of e/s.

Hi team,
I use VMware vCenter Converter Standalone to import certain Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V virtual machines to VMware ESXi 4, using another Windows Server 2008 R2 as the machine Agent Converter. Well, the agent connects to the Windows VM source very well (I used the net use command to create a line of conduct...), perhaps no chance to connect to the computer target VMware ESxi 4 and make the converter doesn't work...
Following is the error message:
"Unable to connect to the host specified" from the converter agent machine. " It is perhaps because the host is not available on the network, there is a problem with the network configuration or management on this host services do not react. Check all components of converter to be able to connect.
So, my question is; is it possible to create a work around (like the net use Windows command above) to make possible the connection of the converter Agent on Linux VMware ESXi 4 machine Windows machine, to directly import the virtual machines of Windows Hyper-V to Linux VMware?
Thanks in advance,
It's even easier than that
Use this: http://www.winimage.com/
Which will convert *.vhd *.vmdk, so you don't need to do all this... Of course, another way is to start the machines, leaving them on Hyper-V and go through the network and process virtual machine as physical machines and do a P2V on the network...

The question:
I am currently unable to carry out the reduction operation.
I did a search on google and find a few scenarios:

The full message is as follows:
Fret is disabled for this virtual machine. Shrinkage is disabled for linked clones, parents of clones related, préalloués disks, snapshots, and other factors.
This virtual machine has definitely shrunk in front. I tried to reinstall VMWare Tools and it does not correct. I checked that there are no snapshots in the Snapshot Manager. I also tried as suggested by one of the sons: adding a snapshot and then remove it. I'm unable to the fret. Of course, this isn't a linked clone or a parent of a linked clone (do not know how to use them). How can I tell if it is a pre-allocated disk (I don't think it's, but who knows)?
On the file system, the looks of the directory as follows:

Any help would be appreciated.
The list of files that you show your virtual disk is pre-allocated (*-flat.vmdk). As the message says, you will not be able to reduce a drive pré-alloués.

Disable the clichés for individual virtual machines?

Is it possible to disable support for snapshot for individual virtual machines, perhaps via a parameter for it? Or is the closest answer you to put all its virtual disks in independent mode? Try to see how to better meet the requirements that certain suppliers impose that the VM/device does not catch instant and thought that the best solution is to disable the feature for the specific VM (s) only.
