  Yes, you must purchase a full license for the second installation of Windows 7 product key.  1 activation allows only one Windows 7 product key.  Apparently, you now have a second facility that requires a second product key. Carey Frisch

• Wireless configuration of HP C4780 with new router and Mac (wireless network not found)

  About 10 months ago, I bought a new router. I already had several problems connecting my HP C4780 to my old router, and after setting up the new router, I was totally unable to connect the printer wireless to my router.

  I have reset the system to the printer on my Mac, I have reset the settings on my printer wireless, I downloaded the latest HP software, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software several times and I have had no success. When running through the Setup Wizard, I was able to select the printer and method (wireless network set up by USB) before plugging the USB key. After that, the Setup Wizard says "Device not connected" (DUH!) and the screen select network said simply "no discovery goes Wi - Fi network." I ran the print to the printer from the Network Configuration, and he identified 15 networks (mine included). So, it seems that the Wi - Fi receiver on the printer still works...

  Any suggestions?

  P.S. This printer has been nothing trouble since I got it, and I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE (I like actually...).

  After attempting to run the installer on my boot camp Windows 7 Ultimate version, I fell at last on an obscure statement in the configuration of the PC software for the c4780. It says to connect the computer to the router using the router WPS button.

  I have reset the configuration on the printer and turned off wireless the wireless, then I pushed the the router WPS button until the blue WiFi light on the c4780 lit. THIS SEEMED to BE THE KEY STEPS to CONNECT THE c4780 to MY ROUTER.

  After that, the configuration and setting up the printer on my Mac using the system of preferences was a piece of cake. Functions of the printer and the scanner work with Mac drivers.

  Problem solved... For now... This printer is so buggy, I have no doubt I'll have similar problems in the future.

• How to configure NAT for Hyper-V on laptop with wifi, wired and vpn connectivity

  Me, as I suspect a lot of people, I have a laptop with WiFi connection, cable connection and VPN connection (Cisco AnyConnect), which

  also uses a virtual adapter (activated when active). I searched for some time a way to be able to move to

  Hyper-V in VirtualBox. Blocker full for me is the need for a lot of my virtual machines to be able to connect to the

  Internet through 'the connection active' in the way that VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation/Player through their NAT feature.

  I'm not a networking wait, but after looking around, can't seem to find something that is simple enough for me to configure,

  with a minimum of resources, which allows me to connect a Hyper-V virtual network via a simple NAT device adapter

  all three potential network connections - most seem to not assume that one connection out of the machine, which of course does not

  me what I want.

  Three questions:

  1. is there a Windows application available that an adapter (like loopback) internal which acts as a real NAT device to one of the surfaces

  external access via the active network connections and through the Windows Firewall and any other antivirus, components etc. for

  the road to (i.e. behaves like a "normal app" inside Windows for internet access)? It would be the best option, because it would be

  "always there" when I run virtual machines

  2. display of my lack of knowledge around this feature, don't RRAS (and I know that this is not an option "minimum contact") allow you to

  Connect an internal network adapter to several external network adapters?

  3. on the Linux/OpenBSD various base/NAT routers, are everything that allow several external adapters and who are

  relatively easy to set up (by an independent expert of the network)?

  Really, we could do with this feature for Hyper-V on the desktop, but willing to work around him, if there is a way to at least the

  use virtual machines, once it is easy to install.

• 2808 LAG for use with VMware ESXi and Linux collage

  I posted the month last about setting up my work with groups LAG http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/network-switches/f/866/t/19537080.aspx servers (I'll effectively implementing implement this Saturday)

  I decided to buy a 2808 for my ESXi server get more aggregated connections to my staff iSCSI Linux server but now I'm worried I might have made a mistake to buy the 2808.

  After looking in the manual before I realized I could have been mistakenly assuming that the 2808 had STP and LACP, as I can't find LACP anywhere in the PDF file. I guess that the configuration of my Linux machine for 802.3ad is out (a hope to make mode 4), so now for the configuration of my house, I wonder (* 1 *) that I have to configure my VMware NIC team like and what mode of binding should I use on my Linux host? As for the section at the top (my working configuration) (* 2 *) I don't know what to do about the road other than the leave as 'route based on originating virtual port ID "? (This is how our other data centers are configured, but I'm waiting for my admin network as agglomerates ESXi hosts are configured with the channels of port on our cisco switches)

  For the House, I want to try to increase the bandwidth by using three NICs in each server, I was hoping that it works:
  VMware: Route of IP hash function?
  w/Linux: balance-alb?

  -VMware:
  Before you begin:

  • The default load balancing strategy is route based on the port virtual origin ID. If the physical switch uses the aggregation of links, route based on the IP hash load balancing should be used. For more information, see host requirements for the aggregation of links for ESX and ESXi (1001938) and the guide of VMware Virtual Networking Concepts .
  • LACP support was introduced in vSphere 5.1 on distributed vSwitches and requires additional configuration. For more information, see activation or deactivation of LACP on a group of ports Uplink using the vSphere Client Web (2034277).
  • Ensure that the Protocol of aggregation VLAN and link (if any) are correctly configured on the physical switch ports.

  -Linux:
  * Descriptions of bonding modes *.
  + Mode 0 balance-rr: Round-robin policy: transmit packets in the sequential order of the first available through the last high school. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 1 active-backup mode: Active-backup policy: only one slave in the link is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if, the active slave fails. MAC address of the binding is visible from the outside on a single port (NIC) to avoid confusion between the switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. The first option affects the behavior of this mode.

  + 2 balance-xor mode: XOR policy: transmit based [(adresse MAC XOR avec destination MAC traiterait de source) modulo County slave]. This selects the slave even for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance.

  + 3 broadcast mode: broadcasting policy: transmits everything on all slave interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance.

  + Mode 4 802.3ad: IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Creates aggregation groups who share the same speed and duplex settings. Use all the slaves in the active aggregator according to the 802.3ad specification.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed and duplex of each slave.
  -Switch 2.A which takes care of IEEE 802.3ad dynamic aggregation of links. Most of the switches will require some type of configuration to activate 802.3ad mode.

  + Mode 5 balance-tlb: Adaptive load balancing transmission: Channel link that doesn't require any special switch support. Outgoing traffic is distributed according to the intensity of the current (relative speed) on each slave. Inbound traffic is received by the current slave. If the receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving slave.

  -Prerequisite:
  -1.Ethtool support in the base drivers to retrieve the speed of each slave.

  + 6 balance-alb mode: Adaptive load balancing: includes balance-tlb plus receive balancing (rlb) for IPV4 traffic and doesn't require any special switch support. Receive load balancing is achieved by ARP negotiation. Link driver intercepts the ARP replies sent by the local system on their way and replaces the hardware address of source with the unique hardware address of one of the slaves in the bond as different counterparts use different physical addresses for the server.

  The topic dell nearest you, I have found a useful was: http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/networking/f/4454/t/19415629.aspx

  my previous post was more concerned with VLAN tagging and spanning tree issues, but now I see I should have feared groups LAG it as well.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance all :)

  -

  PS. http://i.dell.com/sites/doccontent/shared-content/data-sheets/en/Documents/dell-powerconnect-2800-series-spec_sheet.pdf said that the 2800 series supports LACP, so if I'm worried about anything on my iSCSI side slap me please in the face, but I guess even in this case, I'm still not sure how to configure the ESXi host because it does not support LACP without vSphere and my original configuration is a free version , so I have no web vSphere management needed to make the LACP allow the change.

  Not sure if it is of no use: example configuration of EtherChannel / switches control protocol LACP (Link Aggregation) with ESXi/ESX and Cisco/HP (1004048), but that's where I was to base the choice on IP hash from.

  It must have the support of layer 3 to achieve IP hash, IP addressing is a 3-layer technology, so a 6200 series or higher or the soon to be released N3000 series.

• Bridge of Sony for Mac. wanted an update, and phone won't turn on now!

  Hello

  Today, I tried to transfer files from my phone to my Mac. When I plugged my phone the Sony Bridge for Mac asked me if I'd like to update so I clicked Yes and it started to be updated with my phone connected. Then out of it, my phone off and it won't turn on. It will only vibrate and display the Sony logo but won't go any futher. I tried the combination of flight + and start/stop button and many others, but nothing works! I need my phone very quickly at work, and I really don't want to lose all the files!

  Help, please!

  It sounds more like you had an update to the system firmware and you can have disconnected your phone that this process was going on - anything you can do I'm afraid to say is a repair of the system, but this will erase all data on your phone

• 'Local only' and 'Limited connectivity' is displayed when I try to connect with my laptop and I can't get online!

  Almost every day for the last 5 months or so, I try to get online and a "local only" or "limited connectivity" appears when trying to connect to my wireless internet.  It seems to do this whenever I try to get when another computer is also about that.  By example, if my mother found on the internet on his computer and I try to get on the internet too it does this thing 'local only' and I can't connect and it launches my mother of the internet too (she also has windows vista).  This seems to be a common problem with vista.  I don't understand all this technique _ so if you know how to fix it please don't try "computer talk" with me-keep simple or explain in detail.

  Hello
   
  Troubleshooting connection problems can be a challenge because there are so many possible causes. First of all, try the following steps:
  Step 1: Diagnose and repair the connection.

• Network configuration required for VIO with VDS integration

  You are looking for assistance with the requirements of network for a new installation VIO, I plan.

  Requirements, I see that it takes 3 VLAN

  API with 5 IPs

  Management with 18 IPs

  Provider with x IPs

  I plan this configuration will be in a network of laboratories. My plan is to use a subnet I can connect to in the laboratory for the vlan API I will need access to the dashboard VIO etc..

  For two other VLANs, I was going to use two private ip ranges

  My question is, pole management provide connectivity/routing between these 3 VLAN or do you need to configure a router out to route between the 3 VLAN?

  Any help appreciated

  Your layout looks ok and should be good.

  I don't understand what you mean by 'cluster management provide a connectivity/routing between these 3 VLAN... '. » ? The routing between these VLANS is up to you. VIO didn't need connectivity amongst these VLAN that is to say that they can be separated segments without any L3 L2.

  However, must the hosts in the cluster Management, be transmitted to each of these VLANs. See the section "Physical networking" in the little quick start guide more color on the L2/L3 amongst connectivity these VLANS.

  Please feel free to expand on your question and provide you with a more precise guidance.

• Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

  Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

  My hardware:

  I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

  The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.
