Different operating system on the same logical unit number?

I have a 3 esxi and SAN shared storage servers. On storage, there are a few LUNS shared between several VMS with different OS.

It is a good practice to hold the similar OS on the same LUNs, for example Windows XP or 2003 virtual machines on a LUN, LINUX on other ther?

You ask people to guess what should be your storage configuration. You should talk to your San and using the IOPS tested engineer / s.

LUNs must be more small thane 2 TB (2 TB-512 b)

Regarding the mix of BONES, once again, it should be with the results of the tests on which the OS will on that LUN.

  • Can I run exe files in different operating system on the same machine, HP Envy dv7 dual OS

    Hello

    I have instaled Windows 8.1 on my drive C: and Windows 7 on my E: drive. Is it possible to run executable files with Win7 (like games), which are installed on my Win8.1.

    Thank you in advance...

    "You mess with the best, die like the rest!

    Hello

    No, when 2 or more operating systems on a construction machine means logically divide the machine at 2 or to several machines and we do not want a VM to interfere with the other virtual machine (s) (in short, we don't want a mess) and each operating system runs on its border.

  • The Systems ESX 3.5 and ESXi 4.0 share the same logical unit number?

    We started the upgrade to vSphere; vCenter just so far. We don't have to level the ESX 3.5 servers yet, but add new servers ESXi 4.

    Can we expose the SAN disk to hosts containing virtual machines running on 3.5 4.0 and supply the new virtual machines for ESXi 4 on the same disc?

    In other words, is there any change to vmfs or differences in VM structures that prevent new and old sharing storage ESX hosts?  Obviously we would expect not interchangability VM, until we improve the ESX 3.5 hosts and the virtual machines running on 3.5.

    THX

    Yes, you can share the LUNS and configure new virtual machines on the same disk.

    You can even VMotion VMs between 3.5 and 4.0 if VMs are hardware worm. 4 (have all virtual machines created in 3.5).

  • Two different operating systems on the same hard disk.

    I have an Acer PC with windows 7 installed. Under 'Computer' it shows the C drive and D drive. I want to load Windows XP on drive D. Someone at - it advice on how I would go to this topic? Checking on some of the forums, he mentions that Windows XP must be loaded first on the C drive which I guess means having to remove windows 7 first? (Then re-load on drive D) Any help is appreciated.

    Dual boot Windows 7 and XP with Windows 7 installed first (method #2), you can:

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

    Note: If your D: drive is the recovery drive you must not touch anything.

    Before changing the computer, create the installation discs for Windows 7:

    Acer - create recovery discs:

    If this is a new computer, there no drivers for the older Windows system, meaning that it will not work properly.  First, you will need to check with the manufacturer of the computer, if they have XP drivers for your computer.

    Next, you will need to use an available XP license you have, or buy a new and install on your computer. Insert the disc to install in the computer, restart, and then start the installation. During the installation process, you can format the Windows 7 partition and then continue with the installation of Windows. You will need to back up your files and reinstall all your programs.

    You cannot use a Windows 7 key to activate XP.

  • How can I change the file permissions that are made in the other operating system on the same machine?

    Hi all

    I installed 2 operating in two different drives (drive C & D) systems in the same laptop.
    Recently I have re-installed the Windows7 operating system on drive C. And formatted the D drive. Now, I have a BONE in my system.
    Now the problem is, I can't open some video files (the names are colored in green) who says that you have no permissions.
    I found that "Encrypt contents to secure data" is enabled in advanced of this specific file properties.
    When I go to turn off this option, it says that you have no permissions. It shows the name of the owner as a previous user of the operating system
    in the other disk drive D (that I already formatted)
    How can I get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    If encryption is not involved (if you do not encrypt the files originally) and is just a file permissions problem - simply take possession of the files first and then change the permissions when your account has full permissions on the files/folders that you need.

    If you do not backup your encryption certificate and key encryption is involved, then the data are almost lost to you.

  • ESXi 5.5 - Direct access to the local logical unit number

    I have a 5.5 stand-alone ESXi server.

    It has 2 local SAS controllers

    Controller 1 (HP Smart Array P410): data bank single RAID 10 with two VM's local logic unit number

    Controller 2 (HP Smart Array P812): only RAID 6 LUNS nothing on it yet...

    My question is that I need one of the virtual machine to access that LUN. Is it possible to give direct access to the VM to the controller and/or the unit number logic rather than create a vmdk and massive data store?

    If it is I know Flash would not work on these data, but that really doesn't matter in this case.

  • Targeting different versions of the operating system with the same code

    Hello again,

    I'm looking to use some features of the OS 5.0 such as the transitional API.  Is there sort of having a base code that will compile in different versions of the JDE, but exclude the code blocks if the OS does not meet the requirements?

    For example, transitions on a device to OS 5.0 but not appear on device OS 4.5.

    Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that would integrate directly with Eclipse and debug without any extra steps in the two versions of the operating system.

    Try to do research on the "preprocessor directives", you can use this to do what you need.

    Basically, you wrap the code OS 5.0 in the guidelines such as:

    #ifdef VER_5
    System.out.println ("This compile for 5.0");
    #else
    System.out.println ("This compiles for no 5.0");
    #endif

    Then, enable you or disable directives in the compiler generate COD versions for each platform.

  • When a renewed system can you buy the disc to reinstall the operating system at the same time?

    I was wondering, I'm new here and this is my first post, but I'm looking to buy a refurbbed T400 or the T61. Not sure yet but thought I'd post this here. Thanks in advance!

    You can make your own recovery disk set after having received your Thinkpad.

    If you order a Thinkpad with an XP downgrade, you will receive a set of recovery disc for the operating system that is not installed and make you your own for one installed.

  • Install Apps on HDs Ext with different operating systems

    HI -.

    What is the process for installation across multiple operating systems multiple ext HDS connected to a computer?

    I have several external hard drives with a Mac OS different on each connected to my Mac desktop to emulate environments with my clients.  My internal HD is running 10.7.5, and I have a 2 TB with Mountain Lion installed external HD.  I would like to know how to install the Adobe applications in each environment.  Because I can never run multiple instances of the operating system at the same time, I can't be in violation of the EULA, ergo I think I should be able to install Adobe software on any of these HDs ext with only one license.

    Thank you.

    You can install a million times until you bleed your ears, but you can never activate 2 installs with a single license. Do not hesitate to turn on and off according to your needs.

  • Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

    Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

    I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

    Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

    0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

    1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

    2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

    3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

    It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

    1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

    If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

    From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

    Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.

  • If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    If I buy windows 8 (any OS windows) now and install in my computer and after a year when I change my computer, can I install the SAME operating system in the new computer?

    You can if you buy a commercial box full of Windows 8 version.

    If you buy a computer with Windows preinstalled, or a version OEM of Windows 8, 8 No, you can't.

    If you buy a version upgrade, you can, as long as the new computer has a licensed version earlier of Windows on them.
