• How to create a guest network only in ESXi 3.5

  I have no experience with ESXi 3.5 and I have some trouble setting a network invited only.

  So far, I did the following:

  • added a new virtual switch named 'Host-only' unconnected with the fysical network

  • I won five guests and configured to use the vSwitch 'Host-only '.

  • in all the guests I have configured an IP address and subnet mask

  • I used the ping on one of the prompt to verify network configuration, but in vain

  Any help will be appreciated.

• How to create the shared disk between 2 ESXi servers

  Hello

  I created a laboratory with ESXi4.1 and ESXi5.0 machines with a few virtual machines on them on my laptop using vmware workstation 7. Now, I'm trying to add a disk to the two virtual esx hosts so that I can create a store of data through them to do some testing from day to day, but so far I managed to do it. I'm afraid of how would I have accomplished my test laboratory. Can someone help me on this please. Thank you.

  Kind regards

  You cannot use just a shared between two virtual hosts of ESXi, but put up some "fake" your iSCSI storage, shared disk which could be executed in another VM on your VMware workstation. Here is a guide how to set this using the free Openfiler: http://rickardnobel.se/archives/26

• Base station disappeared after creating the guest network

  After you activate a burst network 2 things happened:

  (1) my original network is always visible, but you can not connect and it does not work.

  (2) all devices of the airport, including the base station have disappeared from the Airport utility.

  I can connect to the network invited near the base unit as expected. As all devices have green LEDs. However, I can't on the main network. And I can't do anything to solve that devices are not visible in the Airport utility.

  Help!

  The 'main' and 'guest' characteristic of network work properly If the right type of modem is used to enable these services.  That would mean a simple modem, as in the example you see just below:

  

  The main and guest feature will not work properly if you have a modem/router, also known as a gateway, as in the example below, which is the type of device that has a number of ISPs providing to their customers.

  

  
  

  Therefore, the first troubleshooting question here would be.. .what type of "modem" you?

  If you don't know what kind of modem you have, please post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your modem. (Please do not distribute private information, such as a serial number).

  Next question... base stations AirPort how do you have?

  Finally... to fix things, it may be necessary to connect your Mac directly to each base station by using a wired Ethernet cable... Since Wireless will not provide access to the settings on the airport using AirPort Utility if things are messy. Your Mac has an Ethernet port?

• Keyboard will not write on the guest account but ok on my account

  I wanted to create the guest account for my daughter who is staying with us for a holiday, but when it based on in his e-mail account this computer

  There is no problem in writing @. I would be very grateful if someone could give a solution to this problem.

  The problem you are experiencing reflects one of the differences between an "English - United States" and a keyboard layout "English - United Kingdom".  To resolve this problem, log in as the user meeting the problem and then go to:

  Control Panel-> region & language-> keyboards & languages (tab)-> change keyboard

  Then you should be able to change the keyboard from its current location of the layout to the desired position.

• Using the guest host as operating system operating system

  When using VMware Server, if you install it on Server 2003, can use you your host operating system in your guest OS.  Or would you have to install another copy of it?

  Just trying to make sure I have good understanding.  If I install XP as a guest operating system, which is accessible remotely.  In addition, the same image can be created again and again or should I create a new serial numbers don't?  I'm fine with the purchase of new numbers of seria, but did not know how to create the guest operating system has worked.

  Consider each virtual machine comments as another computer.  So, everyone needs an operating system installed.  You can install the same host operating system, but it is a different facility.

  Microsoft allows you to use product keys Windows 4 ~ 5 times and then they will not activate them.  So if you remove an active Windows VM, that use of the key is lost.

  You may be able to copy a virtual machine already activated without having to re - activate, I'm not sure.  Like to do a clean install of Windows XP, activate and update, then copies of the virtual machine before you install additional software.

• Create the DRS group for guests in 2 groups

  Because of the Microsoft SQL license by the basic model, we need to create groups of DRS for our SQL servers. We have 8 guests, but need to run the SQL VMs on host 2

  We are in the process of migrating to ESX 4.0 to ESXi5.5. We already have the server vCenter 5.5

  We do not have the configuration of ESXi 5.5 hosts yet, so we need to create the DRS groups on the host of 4.0. MS will not wait for us to migrate first.

  We have two clusters (2 external data center). Each with 4 servers esx 4.0. Simple question:

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  Thank you

  DRS group cannot be created in a cluster? Can I create DRS groups at the level of the data center. Use a host in Cluster1 and a second in cluster2.

  DRS groups cannot be created in a single cluster and not those of clusters. Nothing else would make no sense in any case. DRS groups are to be limited by the DRS and DRS automatic migrations is only a process of entire cluster in the first place. So what would be the point of a single 'group DRS' through consolidation?

  But of course, you can create two distinct groups of DRS 2 separate clusters.

• Re-create the folder guest account

  Hi all

  I deleted the folder guest account. Now when I connect to the guest account, I get a message "you are connected with a temporary profile.

  Is it possible for me to re-create the folder comments once again?

  Thank you

  Why did you even have to activate the account invited in the first place? It is disabled by default for a very good reason security - it allows anonymous access on your computer.

  Turn it off immediately.

  If you want to grant the occasional access to your computer for visitors, create a Standard user account and call it 'Visitor' or somesuch.

  Do NOT use the guest account.

• Is impossible to turn on the guest account. Cannot create new user account. "The service user profile Service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. »

  Is impossible to turn on the guest account.  Cannot create new user account.  After to try one of those and reboot, the icons of account appear, but when you try to use, the following instructions of error present when you try to log in with the new account or comments: "the user profile Service service has no logon.  User profile cannot be loaded. "I looked at the answers to all the previous ones (including the KB947215) and no not to address specifically.  For the most part, they seem to assume that there is a guest or a new profile in the first place...

  The system is Win 7 Pro 64-bit with all available updates.  I can't say when the last time that the guest account has worked (rarely used) and just found out I can't do new additional user, accounts trying to solve the problem of account of comments... so I have not tried to enter Safe Mode and do a system restore , because I can't yet identify a useful restore point...

  There are no entries in the registry for a guest or a new standard user account.  The registry entries for the three accounts normal-quickly (2 x admin, 1 x level) seem to be appropriate.  Watch register computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  S-1-5-18 = system profile

  19 = local service,

  20 = network service,

  21 long numbers + 1004 plus User1 (admin),

  22 long + 1005 plus 2 user (admin),

  23 plus long + 1006 is user3 (standard,

  Default user (which is inaccessible for me, even as an administrator),

  Public,

  User2,

  No guest or additional profile appear.

  All except the default user (I can't open) seem to have the appropriate, NTUser.DAT files although I don't know how to check for corruption.  Having both a default value

  and a default user folder seems hokey.

  I think I understand instructions how to fix or remove a corrupted profile, but that does not apply to the guest account or profiles that do not exist.

  Help?  Ideas?

  This message contains the strange solution.

  [Plan B - I found one thread where one user said that the same symptoms of the problem that you experience this problem solved]

  - - - - - - - - - - -

  Plan h - while another user said that it was caused by a file Windows Live problem

  This is the thread I can not create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service doesn't have the logon

  You find it difficult to follow the thread as it's long and reported problem by different people to confuse it and there is also a bit of bickering [long filaments often end up being quite incomprehensible].

  ..., See references to the event viewer in the middle of page 4 and Windows Live we [at the bottom of page 2 more on page 3].

  I see not the logic of the any of those things, but if one of them do things long enough that you are trying to create new accounts that works, you will know how in the future until a proper solution is found.

  This is the useful part where this user has tested the solutions proposed in this thread linked above: -.

  This has proved to contain leads to a difficulty.  Have to admit, when I read everything the first time, several days, I did indeed find it confusing and even the parts that I "heard" (sorta) does not appear to be related to my symptoms.

  It turns out that the answer of JDMICHAL May 17, 2011 contained this:

  (1) C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows open live
  (2) this directory has two subdirectories with a single file of each. Go into each directory and apply the following:
  (a) make a right click on the file, open the properties.
  (b) click the Security tab.
  (c) it will issue a message: "to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Would continue you? ». Click on the button continue.
  (d) click on the Add button...
  (e) ' everyone' type in the box at the bottom of the dialog box. Click on "check names"; It should be emphasized the "everyone". Click OK.
  (f) ensure that the new "Everyone" entry "read" and "read & run" check under the column "allow".

  After doing this for two files, attempt to connect to the account. He must undergo.

  The procedure (bascially) worked... Although the different answers on my system differed slightly along the way (perhaps due to the slightly different versions of Win 7?, because I was already logged in as an administrator?).

  In any case, "Everyone" with the read and read/execute permissions adding to these two files seems to have done the trick:

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Bici\Bici1_00.sqm

  and

  C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\SqmApi\SqmData720896_00.sqm

• "Unable to create the virtual SCSI device to the scsi: 0:0" import *. EGGS in ESXi 5.1u2

  Hi, I need to deploy a VM of *.ova in my cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts u2 (1900470), but when I try to run it I get this error:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/51e7fc6b-85806744-fb38-0021286bb22a/xxx.vmdk'

  Unable to create the virtual device. Stack 16 or 255 sectors per track is not supported.

  
  

  The same deployment works in another cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts (700733) and on my vmware workstation 10.

  I have tryied compatibility material upgrade\downgrade with wmware workstation and download directly to my host but still do not

  I formatted the hard drive hard by ssh and readded to the inventory, I tried to convert vm to work cluster... nothing to see...

  Any suggestions? Thank you

  Solved! I don't know why but the import of virtual machines with 5.1u2 ESXi, heads, and sectors in *.vmdk file are reversed:

  BEFORE:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "16".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "255".

  AFTER:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "255".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "16".

  Connect to a host with SSH and editing *.vmdk file with VI will be the virtual machine starts without problems!

• Create the role in each ESXi host

  I need to create a 'Test' role with only 'Browse datastore' on each ESXi host in the vCenter server.

  OK, I see, you need a role on each server ESX (i). It is possible both with the cmdlet New-ferrule.

  Get-VMHost | %{

  $esx = Connect-VIServer-Server $_-user root - password $pswd

  New-ferrule-name Test-"Datastore.Browse" of privilege-Server $esx

  Disconnect-VIServer-Server $esx - confirm: $false

  }

  The script will connect to each ESX (i) server, create the role on the (i) ESX Server (with the server parameter) and disconnect.

  You will need to have the root password in the $pswd variable.
