• Convert a physical server (w / HBA) virtual

  Hello

  I need your help to convert a physical server connected to a HP Modular Storage Array 1000 thanks to an HBA.

  My question: what is the best practice to do this kind of conversion? When I select the physical server VMWARE converter will convert the storage on a virtual drive?

  Thank you.

  Pedro

  The big question is what is the storage. ESX (i) have a limit on the size of the drive (2 TB less than 512 bytes). The MSA1000 is less than 2 TB, you should be able to run the converter and create the virtual server, including the E: drive. If the MSA is greater than 2 TB, but the used space is less than 2 TB converter will allow you to create the fret.

• How to convert the Win2000 Server

  Dear all

  I have an instance of the VM of Windows 2000 server running on an older verision of VmWare server 1.0.1.

  I really want to run on the latest version of VmWare Server 2.0.2.

  I tried simply to copy the files to the new server VmWare 2.0.2. store data but I get the error that it was not able to lock the file.

  I also tried to use the WmVare converter but I doesn't seem to work with Win2K

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Looks like VMware Server cannot handle files larger than 2 GB on a network share.

  What you could try - if you want / need to store files on your NAS server - is to temporarily copy the files on the local drive of the host VMware Server, consolidate the snapshot and then convert the disk type to virtual disk 1 (split growable virtual disk into 2 GB files) using vmware-vdiskmanager.

• Converting a physical server to a host

  I'm new to VMware and I'm unable to find the right strategy.

  I would like to convert a physical server to a computer computer ESXi host and migrate existing BONES from the server (Windows Server 2003 w/SQL Server 2005) to a virtual machine on the same machine. This host will be the first on my network. What I've read, it seems that the Converter requires a destination host must be specified during conversion. Because the machine will become the destination host, how should I do this?

  Is it possible for me to convert the existing operating system and store, install ESXi and then import the old OS as a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance,

  Adam

  Hi Adam,.

  Welcome to the forums.

  You can virtualize your server as a workstation or VM Player that you will store on a PC (possibly use a disc of removable storage for conversion). Use Workstation or Player to start the virtual machine and verify that everything is OK. When you think that your application is running virtual, install ESXi on your physical server and a copy of the virtual machine, or make another conversion of PC to ESXi.

  Good luck.

• Archetecture ESXi4 Server

  Hello

  I need advice to implement VMware ESXi4 in my small business.

  I have two HP Server for my ESXi4 server. I want to put the virtual machine locally, not on a San. I don't have a lot of space, and I can't justify the price.

  ESXi Server 1 hosts three virtual servers: DC, file, TS

  ESXi Server 2: Is the baqckup on the first in another room

  My local network is 1Gbits

  What do you recommend to replicate VMS and a server for data backup and 2.

  Thank you!

  Thank you Ed for having mentioned the virtual SAN of doctorate. A note us are currently working on improving the Virtual SAN product and should release an updated version later this year.

• Convert the Linux server

  Can someone tell me if I can use the converter to convert a Linux server into a file, and then install ESX on the server that has been under Linux and then run the original server as a virtual server.

  Other ways to get there?

  Use the Converter 3.0.3.

  It can also save on local (or network) file suitable for the Desktop/server/player.

• windows server 2012 essentials disk partitions

  I am to evaluate Windows Server 2012 Essentials for customers to small businesses.

  I use the trial version for testing purposes.

  My test server is a motherboard Intel S2600CP4, Intel P4000 chassis, E5-2630 CPU Xeon, Intel RS2BL080 RAID controller with 6 500 GB SAS drive in a RAID 5.

  The RAID volume is 2.7 TB as 1 virtual disk.

  2012 Windows refuses to create a partition greater than 2 TB.  I have converted the GPT volume during installation via 'diskpart '.

  Is the limit of 2 TB because of the evaluation of the operating system version or am I missing a step in this process?

  Advice or insight would be appreciated...

  Thank you

• How can I get Windows Server 2012 Essentials recognize my HARD drive when you turn an external HARD drive in a drive HARD internal storage?

  I recently had a pool of storage space using 3 external drives USB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  I decided to take the readers out of the enclosure and connected directly to the internal SATA connectors on my motherboard.  When the server was launched upward, these 3 discs now display as disconnected in storage.

  When I do the command 'get-disc' physical in PowerShell, the drives appear as "drives physical 1,2 & 5" and are 2.72 to each. "."  But it also lists disks Seagate Expansion as well, with a status of "communication lost".  These are the same three disks that are now internal.

  Nothing has been deleted or erased, so all the data is still on each individual unit and assume that if I managed to put back them in the external enclosure, would immediately online.  I thought that everything simply moving them to a new HARD disk controller (internal SATA USB) would not cause the pool to drop the readers, they are always connected to the same server.

  Is there a way to get storage space to see and read the 3 internal drives to bring my pool/area back online without losing any data?

• PC running XP cannot access shared Windows Server 2012 Essentials

  Hello, I'm having a problem with access to files shared on my Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Dell Inspiron 1100 running XP Pro SP3 I changed all my computers in the workgroup of names to match NetBios servers and all my other computers have access to stocks with the exception of the Inspiron 1100 trying to access in the sharing I am told that I do not have access, I am not offered a prompt to enter a user name and password I am simply denied access. Does anyone know how to get around this problem or fix the issue fact XP and issue with Server 2012 or vice versa. I can access the server to office assistance remotely, but not shared folders which seems strange to me. I've already posted the same question on the TechNet site too since it's a server issue but I find that you can easily post there and receive no help, so that never but I find that almost every subject I posted here, someone has at least made an effort to help with your problem.

  In fact, I created a user account on the server and the XP client gave them both the same user name and password and now I have full access to server shares. I have often continue to try while you wait for answers and find my own solution.

• Cisco RV220W w Win Server R2 Essentials 2012: connection anywhere access

  Hello

  I recently updated a network six computers with Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2.  The problem I have is that I am unable to access anywhere to put in place correctly, with the most common being of error messages: 1) anywhere access to your server is blocked & 2) there may be more than one router on your network (which does not exist).  I have UPnP active (although have hesitated to do) & port 80 & 443 is forwarded to the IP address of servers. The previous server used before the upgrade was Windows Sever 2012 Essentials and after of many trials & errors had access Anywhere works fine for our needs for about two years.  The router that has not changed, nor have the settings because it did not work properly is a Cisco RV220W.  Any help or any settings on the router to check/change would be greatly appreciated, since I'm pretty much of ideas & need to get remote access to the top & running for this case.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello

  Before starting my answer, I want to let you know that I have no experience whatsoever with the anywhere access system. I have never set up or used. That being said, I did a little research and found that, generally, just redirect ports 80 and 443 to the server and also to enable uPnP on the router so that the other ports required get configured manually.

  According to the information I have found, there are several other ports that must be opened via uPnP and maybe that's the part that doesn't work.

  Here is the document that I found:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14153.Windows...

  I mention that, in addition to opening ports 80 and 443, you also need the 25. 1723, 987, and 3389.

  Here are my recommendations:

  1. check the uPnP on the Rv220W table to see if other ports are open on the server. To do this, go to Administration - settings - Discovery - Discovery UPnP, make sure that it is enabled and then checked the table to see if other ports seem to be open on the server.

  2-if they are not, and then open manually. To do this, go to the firewall - access rulesand add rules for all necessary ports.

  I hope that was helpful.

• Windows Server 2012 Essentials license key questions

  We recently had to reinstall a server running Windows Server 2012 Essentials.

  We have reinstalled the wrench out of the key Windows Server 2012 Essentials on Tower Server. This key worked for a few days. Then the server started to complain that the key cannot be used. When I enter the key in the key of Activation Windows field, a label in this text field indicates the key is valid, but when I click on the button Activate, after half a minute to process the application, it gives a 0xC004F01F error.

  We appreciate any help you can give on this.

• Completely remove sdconf.rec connection server VMware view Horizon 6

  Greetings,

  I want to completely remove the sdconf.rec file downloaded from my connection to the server VMWare View Horizon 6.0.1. In previous versions, it was that I had to delete the Sdconf.Rec of C:\Windows\System32 and set the attribute to EAP-SecureIDConf under CN = < servername >, OU = server, OU = propriΘtΘs, DC = vdi, DC = VMWare, DC = int '0' but this attribute does not exist in version 6!

  Just deleting the Sdconf.REC file does not work, after doing that (even after a reboot) it always says "a Sdconf.REC file has been downloaded" when I check the settings of the connection to the server.

  Does anyone know how to delete this file in version 6? I'm this close just removed the server connection and security together and do a complete reinstall.

  Thanks in advance!

  Haha, Yes, it seems I was typing the variable wrong, changing the attribute now works, but I still see "an sdconf.rec file is already downloaded" even after change to the attribute and remove the sdconf.rec file in system32, even after a reboot of the connection to the server.

  This should be OK. What you did is invalidated the sdconf.rec file. It probably will always exist, but watch to see if it has been invalidated. that is, it should now be much smaller than your original and so not usable, which I think is what you wanted to achieve.

  If you want to just disable the RSA SecurID authentication, which can be made in view administrator.

  Please confirm.

• Service server vmware vcenter orchestrator on local computer started and then stopped

  Hello

  I'm unable to start the Server service of vco on Windows 2008 R2 machine. If I try to restart the service it displays the following error;

  "Service server vmware vcenter orchestrator on local computer started and then stopped. "Some services stop automatically when not in use by other services or programs.

  Can someone give me the solution for this?

  Thank you

  First check the configuration of the vCO application and that all green lights. If this isn't the case difficulty what the problem is.

  If everything is green, see the server.log file and look for FATAL / ERROR.
