ESX host with local storage recommended for the host partition table?

Hi all

I know that the best practical partition table should look like this:

Mount Point

Partition

Size

Description

/ dev/sda (primary)

/ Boot

ext3

250 MB

Change of extra space for upgrades

N/A

SWAP

1 600 MB

Change the maximum size of Exchange service console

/

ext3

5120 MB

Change of extra space in the root

/ dev/sda (Extended)

/ var

ext3

4096 MB

Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with log files

/ tmp

ext3

1024 MB

Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with temporary files

/ opt

ext3

2048 MB

Create partition to avoid overfilling root with the log files of VMware HA

/ Home

ext3

1024 MB

Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with agent / user files

vmkcore

100 MB

Pre-configured

However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines

  • View Load Balancing Hosts with local storage

    Hello

    After the use of VMWare for server virtualization, it is time to move to the next step.

    We are in the middle of a display driver 5 :-)

    At the moment I have 2 host vmware (esxi 5) with storage connected to a San.

    My "master VM" is in the SAN and connected to two hosts.

    A pool is created and data warehouses them are selected for the pool.

    The replicas are created on two local data stores when I set up the pool.

    At the time, my drivers 10 users working on a related Clone which is located on the local storage.

    The strange thing is that all users are running on a single host.

    East on the host with the most free space.

    When I remove the data store, the virtual machine is created on the other host.

    After adding it, are all the vm on the store with the largest disks again.

    How can I configure display to use the two hosts?

    This is a normal behavior of View Composer to put desktops on the storage the largest space available. You can change this behavior by adjusting storage approval settings. Take a look at this blogpost:

    Sorry, but if your device is disabled and you have no backup, then you won't be able to save the data on the device:

    You should back up your device regularly to iCloud or import your photos to an application on your computer. Otherwise, you will be risking losing those photos. If your device has been lost, stolen, or crushed by your car, you'd be in the same situation. Really sorry for your photos.

    Same thing here. Grayed. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the observer of events with many more errors than previous versions.

    Edit: OK, discovered why it is grayed out. There are 2 reg key, you must set permissions before going to the Configuration of DCOM in component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

    From another forum, although it applies to a different application, same principle:

    1. open Regedit.
    2. go in HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\ * CLSID *.
    Note: * CLSID * stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it is {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
    3. right-click on it and select authorization.
    4. click on Advance and change owner to administrator. Also click on the box that will appear below the threshold of owner.
    5. apply a full control.
    6. close the tab, then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\ * APPID *.
    Note: * AppID * is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case, it is {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
    7 right-click on it and select authorization.
    8. click on Advance and change the owner to administrators.
    9. click on the box that will appear below the line owner.
    10. click on apply and grant full control to the administrators.
    11. close all tabs and navigate to the administration tool.
    12. open component services.
    13. click on the computer, click my computer, and then click DCOM.
    14 find the corresponding service that appears on the display of the error.
    15. right-click on it, and then click Properties.
    16. click the Security tab, and then click Add a user. Add the SYSTEM and then apply.
    17. check enable local.

    Then use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config utility should give you access greyed onareas:

    CLSID:

  • It is possible and effective: high availability (failover) on 2 guests with local storage?

    Hello

    I have a discussion on the implementation of ha (failover) with 2 guests with local storage.

    My advice is to go with a shared storage. But there is another view, use the cluster failover MS with local storage service to save on the shared storage hardware.

    2 "mirorred" on each host machines. Is it feasible at all?

    The HughesNet: have 2 virtual machines (SQL server and server applications in a highly available environment). The workload of the machines will be raised to 2 very powerful servers that are supposed to be buying.

    1. Please briefly explain a feature of local storage to provide HA.

    2. I got to cluster in the virtual environment, not so I guess that the shared storage is used only in the virtual environment.

    Thank you.

    Michael.

    There is software that can replicate a running, physical or virtual machine to another accessible location on the network. This could be as simple that between two close hosted ESXi of VMS or high-speed WAN. Take a look at things like neverfail, doubletake others.  The costs would probably be a bit prohibitive in a smaller environment. It might be possible and maybe even practice to use a virtual storage device having a failover replication. Use of storage on each host and allows to provide the data store. Open-e

    The Microsoft Clustering solution needs a shared storage.

  • Error: The application-specific permission settings grant Local Activation permission for the COM server application in the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: DCOM {E9F9ED00-7705-101B-9802-0000C07B665C}.

    I have this message DCOM in the registry: "the application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM with CLSID {E9F9ED00-7705-101B-9802-0000C07B665C} server application the user... xxxx...".

I tried to look through the forum here, and I found elements that were close and others are not. so if anyone knows where I can go make the adjustments, it could save our society approximately $10K, because my new bosses are ready to install all new hardware and software, but if we could find a much simpler approach to this problem, this would make the new kid on the block like a champ look.
    We have a Window XP, the flat touch screen PC, running a few packages of software reviews that keep a record of our SCADA system trend.

    At random times around the clock, the PC will just restart and return to the logon screen. There is no other necessary users, so we have only the journal administrator form. As soon as we open the administrator it is specially configured to run a specific program of our choice, but if the PC keeps restarting whenever it feels like it, there is no history chart tend to save. It is essential, that we need.

  • determine the storage space for the upgrade of the APEX

    I put on my 11.2.0.3.12 level APEX APEX to APEX 4.2.4.00.08 version 3.2.1.00.12 version database.  I understand that I must perform the full upgrade, I am moving from version 3.2.x to 4.2.x.

    Where:

    APEX 3.2.x installation that follows is users:

    • Oracle Application Express Application user: APEX_030200
    • Oracle Application Express user files: FLOW_FILES

    So to determine the tablespace_apex and the tablespace_files you must connect with the user sys with sysdba privilege and run the following query:

    SELECT USERNAME
         , DEFAULT_TABLESPACE
      FROM DBA_USERS
     WHERE USERNAME IN ('FLOWS_FILES','APEX_030200')
    

    Then use the APEX_030200 user as tablespace_apex tablespace and a tablespace of the FLOW_FILES user as tablespace_files.

    I hope this helps!

  • Format recommended for the PDF author metadata

    Hello

    I work as a librarian and I am responsible for the Department of the thesis of my University Library. These are filed and archived as PDF files. Some of them are available online, some are not.

    I was told to systematically fill metadata "Title" and "Author" for each PDF deposited in our electronic despository.

    My question has to do with metadata "author." Is there a structure recommended for her?

    As it is I can think of a lot of different alternatives:

    First name last name

    LastName Firstname

    LastName, Firstname

    etc.

    As a librarian, my instinct was to choose the name, first name format (used in the author/creator DC element, for example), but I realized that whenever I have saved the PDF file and then displays the part of metadata (via the shortcut Alt D), it would show "Lastname, Firstname" rather than the full name (for some unknown reason, adds Adobe Pro "" ""). After some tests, I came to the conclusion that the coma was the source of the problem. So I changed my mind and adopted the format Firstname Lastname , but I'm not sure that this is the best option.

    So if I ask you a few questions, here they are:

    -Which format do you recommend for the metadata of the author (if there is one)?

    -Why a coma generates ""?

    Is there a specific separator character that I use when I need to fill two different names (if a given thesis has been written by two different people)? (this issue also applies to metadata "Key words")

    Thanks for your patience and for your time,

    See you soon,.

    JHM

    There are no rules in itself, but the XMP specification defines DC: creator as a ProperName field, which means it must be written in the way he would say - "John Smith" rather than "Smith, John". Finally, it is until you do with data - if your external search system to priority of family name, do it.

    The fields on the tab of "description" of PDF Properties dialog comes from this Document information block in the standard PDF file, which is independent of the XMP metadata. Although these fields of DI are often people will look on, in a formal catalog system the XMP object has priority (indeed, in the ISO PDF/A standard that you are supposed to ignore completely DI fields).

    Document Information fields are stored in the PDF file as strings rather than the XML entities. Commas would confuse the parser in thinking it was to see a table, so they will trigger Acrobat in order to encapsulate the entries between quotes. He will assume a comma and a single space are part of an individual term, if you want to create a list using the semicolons or several spaces between words. Senicolons conquer spaces:

    • Doe, John; Lord Lucan; Barney, the Purple dinosaur will be kept at the "Doe, John"; Lord Lucan; 'Barney, the Purple dinosaur'
    • Is no one, no one will be kept to the ', that is, not a "; person because the spacing is a term separator.

    The important thing to remember is that the entrance of DC: creator XMP is updated whenever you change the author field of DI, but it does NOT follow the same rules. ProperNames XMP are OK with spaces but they don't like commas or semicolons - so the first example above appears in the tree view of XMP as

    1. DOE
    2. John
    3. Lord Lucan
    4. Barney
    5. Dinosaur
    6. the
    7. Purple

    This reinforces the idea of using names as spoken. Lord Lucan has survived his trip to XMP, John Doe became two people. Barney is beyond hope. in many ways.
