Does make a difference what PowerCLI version to use?

We are on U2 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0 U2.

Does make a difference what PowerCLI version we use?
If so, how to determine the version currently used?

And what PowerCLI version corresponds to 5.0 U2 and where and how do I get it?
Thank you, Tom

I strongly recommend to always use the latest version of PowerCLI. For the moment, it's PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2. The latest version has more features and less bugs. You can see in the release notes which vSphere and vCenter versions are supported. For PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2, these are:

VMware vSphere PowerCLI 5.1 version 2 supports the following VMware environments:

  • vCenter Server 5.1.0a
  • VMware ESXi 5.1.0a
  • vCenter Server 5.0 Update 2
  • VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 2
  • vCenter Server 4.1 Update 3
  • VMware ESXi 4.1 Update 3
  • VMware ESX 4.1 update 3
  • vCenter Server 4.0 Update 4
  • VMware ESX 4.0 Update 4
  • VMware ESX 4.0i update 4

So U2 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0 U2. are fully supported in PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2.

You can check your PowerCLI version with the following PowerCLI:

Get-PowerCLIVersion

PowerCLI 5.1 Release 2 also shows version in the title bar of the window PowerCLI.

You can download the latest PowerCLI version at: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/automationtools/powercli

  • DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHAT ROUTER I BUY IF I PLAN ON WIRED NETWORK

    First OFF... Please excuse my lack of computer savvy.  I know just enough to get me in trouble.

    I have two computers in the House that I intend to run the my modem cat6 cable cable on a new router (type advice pending) then on my two computers.

    I am connected to Comcast high-speed internet cable and you just want to connect two computers at home, with the fastest speed available.  I was told to buy a less expensive router and it would work just as well as an expensive one.  As long as it is hard wired it won't make any difference in speed.

    Sounds easy, I get good advice?  If anyone has the time, I would really like to get this resolved so I can buy a router and configure my network.  Any advice on what router buy would be really appreciated.

    Thank you, Sunshine State

    1. make sure that your modem is only a modem and not already a router. Some ISPS 'modems' are in fact roads with built-in modem.

    2. most current routers should be able to handle the current speeds of the Internet standard. Only if you have a very fast internet connection or intend to buy an older model, it is perhaps not able to manage your Internet speed. Check a Web site like smallnetbuilder for speed trials.

    But that would make almost any router.

  • What difference does make if I don't use the XMLTYPE expressed during insertion?

    Using the table
    CREATE TABLE flower_data(flower_id NUMBER(3), flower_xml XMLTYPE)
      XMLTYPE COLUMN flower_xml STORE AS BINARY XML;
    Does make a difference if I insert the data without the casting, XMLTYPE in the insert statement?

    For example if I use:
    INSERT INTO flower_data (flower_id, flower_xml) VALUES
    (1,' <flower>
       <name>lavender</name>
       <color>lilac</color>
       <lower-zone>9</lower-zone>
       <higher-zone>11</higher-zone>
    </flower>'
    );
    instead of*.
    INSERT INTO flower_data (flower_id, flower_xml) VALUES
    (1, XMLTYPE('<flower>
       <name>lavender</name>
       <color>lilac</color>
       <lower-zone>9</lower-zone>
       <higher-zone>11</higher-zone>
    </flower>')
    );
    Both versions work.

    Thank you.

    The implicit conversion is more expensive that the cast explicit.

    Consider the following:

    CREATE TABLE t (testcol NUMBER);
    
    INSERT INTO t VALUES ('1');
    

    Can you? Yes
    Should you? NO.

  • What language version of new Flash?

    I'm sure it's a question that everybody knows the answer to, but I'm not having any luck finding one myself.

    OS: Win Vista HP - GERMAN

    Browser: Firefox (latest version) ENGLISH

    I use IE occasionally, (in German)

    Firefox just told me it's urgent that I have installed the latest update for Adobe Flash. I clicked and came to the page English Adobe for installation. I did of course many times before, but I never noticed the entry to change the language of the OS. Now I don't know who I should install, in English or in German page page. Does make a difference?

    Thanks in advance.

    The Setup is the same for all versions of Windows. It's just the download page which shows in different languages.  (The installation program will likely display a German instructions in your case).

    If your browser preferences are set up correctly, you should have ended up on top of the German download page (http://get.adobe.com/de/flashplayer/).  See this post how to change language to Firefox preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3231149#3231149

  • So who should I have installed now? the beta version or your latest version? or if it makes no difference?

    I've always had the beta installed version to get the latest version, but now the version 14 is out should I abandon the beta version and install the version 14 or if it makes no difference?

    Hello

    Just to add to what said Tyler, if you use Sync, you can have a release or beta version installed, but not both (in this perspective, it makes a difference).

    Please use Firefox for Android!

  • What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    * Original title: MAR v INKL

    What is the difference between a version of MAR and the software win7 INKL?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • What exactly you're talking about when you say, 'Version INKL of Windows 7?

    I'll be happy to answer your query, however, please explain more about abbreviation INKL. There is a version called Office of ink that is used in the Tablet PC.

    Here's the other version of Windows, you can make reference to:

    MAR - Microsoft Authorized Reacondicionador

    A new PC requires a version of windows with a new key license installed if purchased from a manufacturer.

    A refurbished PC is allowed to use an existing product key (2nd hand if you like) as long as it is always delivered with a certificate of authenticity (COA). This is referred to as MAR (Microsoft authorized Reacondicionador) which means that Microsoft allows to use existing keys/licenses products.

    Buy a version of windows means MAR technically you buy a second hand copy - being however, software, so it comes with COST, will make absolutely no difference at all.

    N and KN editions

    The features in N and KN Editions are the same full versions of their equivalent, but do not include Windows Media Player or other technologies related to Windows Media, such as Windows Media Center and Windows DVD Maker because of the limits set by the European Union and South Korea, respectively. The cost of n and KN Editions are the same as the full versions, as the Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N and Windows 7 KN can be downloaded for free from Microsoft.

    Generations of VL

    VL builds work with VLK (volume license key). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without a mechanism (for example, a product activation mechanism) controls the total number of facilities. The license for the software is going to impose restrictions on the use of the key. In general, the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee and also to place the holder under the obligation to keep a record of the number of facilities, hold confidential and perhaps even require that the holder organization makes available for a software license check check that his use of the key is in the terms of the license.

    Please let us know what exactly are you referring to when you say version INKL of Windows 7, so we can further research and answer.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • How can I make sure that any firewalls (versions of software or hardware) does not block port 443 to access?

    How can I make sure that any firewalls (versions of software or hardware) does not block port 443 to access?

    Hi Anna_753,

    Usually, you would receive messages from any program if it is impossible to access the port.

    If you want to check if the port is accessible, then you will need to check the firewall settings.

    Each firewall has its own parameters for ports of the computer.

  • Yahoo mail does not load in the new version of FF!

    Since the new version of FF (40.0.2) I can not open yahoo mail. I have try to disable noscript and adblock, but nothing. In old portable version of FF 33 site works very well. Can you tell me what wrong and why new FF disable access to yahoo mail?

    First of all, a common problem faced by users with Yahoo! mail is that Yahoo changed their server. If you are using an old bookmark or the old address of the homepage to access your e-mail, try to use this more general address so that if your server has changed, you redirected to the new servers:

    https://mail.Yahoo.com/

    If this makes no difference, here are some general things to try:

    When you have a problem with a particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clear your Firefox cache and delete your cookies for the site.

    (1) delete the Cache of Firefox

    See: How to clear the cache of Firefox

    Note: If you have a large hard drive, it may take a few minutes.

    (2) remove the cookies from the site (waiting for work save first). While displaying a page on yahoo.com, try either:

    • Right-click the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > 'view the Cookies '.
    • Click on the globe or padlock icon in the address bar > additional information > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog box that opens, you can delete cookies from the site individually.

    Then change the address at the top of this dialog from yahoo.com to mail.yahoo.com to see if there are cookies to clear any extra.

    Then try to reload the page and sign in again. Workstation?

    If this doesn't help, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    It depends on what you are doing and the rest of your system.  Eventually, if you like the video, it will impact.  But for still images, it is unlikely you will come anywhere close to that.  You can check it by placing the bar at the bottom left of the screen to show effectiveness.  As long as you use only RAM it will say 100%.  If you go below, you use your drive to work.  But even in this case, use to scratch a little, if you have an SSD, is not a big deal.

    Even my laptop 8 GB rarely gets bogged down (but I close the old files).  My 16 GB Office doesn't happen nearby.  But I'm not video.
