ESX Server with a control VM, instead of the workstation

Considering change of ESX Server to increase the memory available to my VM that is connected to the internet.  But I've been advised what ESX a second pc needs to combat it.  So it's no good in replacement of the workstation or player.

Why can't a virtual machine with the guest only network use the computer controlling in ESX, playing the role of external control computer?

If it is declared with a raw disk, it can even have full access on the host drive. You can then install vmware workstation virtual machine to edit .vmx via the user interface files, generate new hard or copy - pasting entire VM.

And when you have need of more memory, you suspend this VM control and almost all memory is available for the computer connected to the internet virtual.

Why not?

ESX is a pretty primitive operating system - it can even display a beautiful picture because it has only a text console.

Because it is so limited and restricted compared with other operating systems, it's so good to run virtual machines without GUI.

The disadvantage of this design is that you need a second machine to display a virtual computer desk

  • ESX server with 2 different storage array?

    Hello.

    I currently have my ESX servers connected to storage DS4700 and most berries.  Each ESX is double path via a switch which, in turn, allows me to see my DS4700.  My question is, can I i the area my ESX Server so that it can "see" my DS8300 and I would be able to assign LUNS of my ESX servers with no problems?  Both can coexist?  I think I should use for my DS4700 host bus adapters and host bus adapters that are dedicated to my DS8300?  A UNIX point, these 2 storage arrays do not 'communicate' the same way (for example, SDD and RDAC).

    Thank you.

    Steph

    SDD driver is for the multipath. VMware has its own multi-channel driver that is shipped with ESX server, you won't not any 3rd party multipathing software.

    In any case to be abel to see camps Bay you have no need to activate the software multpathing. It is intended only to provide a redundant path to any logical unit number hosted by a single table through several MS SPs/Ports.

    Area just for DS8300 ESX Server and a new analysis should see the new targets and when you present LUNS to your host definetion analyze again another you should see the DS8300 LUN.

    I hope this helps.

  • UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225, can't see the ethernet LOM ports

    Hi Guyz,

    We have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with fabric Interconnet.

    After you have installed the OS & drivers, vNIC created the VIC 1225 by the service profile appear, but 4 gig on server LOM ports do not appear.

    Any idea. ?

    Thank you

    If you incorporate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ONLY ports for traffic of Mgmt, when you join the server mode to 'Dual Wire'.

    It is useless (unless you have one for a special reason, I do not intend at this very moment) to use ports LOM, once you entered the server, precisely because of the 1225 VIC is not a regular NIC card or a regular HBA, it is indeed a CNA (Converged Network Adapter), which essentially allows you to do in a map , what you would do with two (which means "what you would do with a NETWORK card and HBA separated')

    When you have a VIC card, you actually have the ability to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (this is the capacity of the equipment, always limited by the operating system, please keep this in mind), this is the reason why, after the server is integrated, entirely rely on the interfaces in the Service profile instead of the physical interfaces.

    Find more info here:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/interfaces-modules/unified-computi...

    You have a specific reason to use the LOM ports rather than create 2 additional virtual interfaces in Server Service profile?

  • TBird does not delete messages from POP3 server with setting of ' leave messages on the server until I delete them.

    I use the pop3 Storage account. I installed thunderbird to download messages only when I ask them. I installed thunderbird to leave messages on the server until I delete them. I am able to send and receive messages without problem, but the messages that I delete the Inbox of Tbird not deleted from the server.

    In addition, what is the expected behavior for messages on the server if I move them to a local folder? That should remove them from the server, or they remain on the server until I have remove the local folder?

    Thank you.

    Deleting a message that "it mark as deleted", but it's still in the folder that is hidden from view. It's now displaying in the folder "deleted".

    you need to compact your file.
    ClickON Inbox right and select "Compact".

    Inbox, junk and probably get most of the activity when it comes to deletion, so they should be compacted ona regularly.
    I have several emails that I will delete every day, so these two fodler get compacted by day.

    See info on:
    maintain a healthy thunderbird.

    Compacting file, what it does and why it is important.

  • CAN I VMotion between ESX server with they are in different version?

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade my 2.5u1 to 2.5u3 vCenter, then upgrade my all the ESX Servers 3.5u1 to 3.5u3. VMFS on storage shared SAN and VMotion already activated. My question is if I upgrade the first server ESX 3.5u1 to 3.5u3, can I use VMotion to migrade the 3.5u1 virtual machine remains in the new 3.5u3 updated? Thank you!

    -david

    PS. I had been looking, but too many results or not exactly my scenario. So hard to find one suitable.

    Yes and you can even go to 3.0.2 3.5.3 without a problem. Usually, it is the target CPU model that causes pain when he is not the same.

  • File placed in Mac server with read/write access to all the world, but when a Windows machine changes and saves the file, it becomes read-only

    Original title: Excel file permissions

    At my work, all except 2 computers are Macs. I'm one of the only Windows machines. I created an Excel file which I want everyone at the office to access and modify. We have put on the Mac server and changed the permissions for everyone to read and write. I also had that done on the Windows machine before placing it on the server. However, people on Mac machines can open, change it and save it without problem. But if one of the machines Windows opens, modifies and saves, it restores the Mac machines to read-only. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Connection API with a secret shared instead of the password

    Is it possible to connect to Connect via an API call using a secret shared instead of a password?  All of the examples I see uses the value of the password to the action of the connection, but I think that if the shared secret value is set, there should be an option for this as well.

    You can talk to Support Platinum (you should be on a deployment allowed since you are using SSO) and see if they have all the methods to do this. It's maybe just something that's not in the API documentation.

  • New ESX Server

    My company gives me a new server for my virtual environment.  I have 2 ESX server with 74 GB RAM each and the new server will have only 24 GB of RAM.  Is that going to cause a problem for my virtual environment?

    No, it will be all right, I have a configuration with 3 98Gigs servers and another with only 32 gigabytes, it gets just be allocated less machines due to the least amount of RAM.  Works very well.

  • How is upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Version - difficult to migrate vm to ESX server for Central storage for use with VMotion

    Hi all

    We plan to upgrade our current system. We have 1 ESX Server with Standard operating system. Adding 2 more ESX Server with Enterprise edition and upgrading of our current business. We have about 15 VM on our current ESX Server. The migration process is difficult to move the virtual machines in storage Central for use with VMotion. I intend to take the ESX 3.5 Fast track class before you start the upgrade. I am trying to plan a project planned for the time to migrate these courses.

    Any guidance would be great.

    Robert

    Here is a link to the plugin - http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/

    The amount of time it will take to migrate the virtual machine online all depends on the size of the drive, the configuration of storage etc.

  • How to control vmotion license to the ESX Server

    I have 5 servers ESX 3.5 U3 in my vCenter.  Two are using host license and three are in a cluster and using the server license assigned by my license server, that runs on vCenter.  However, my ESX servers two stand alone using the host license receive a license of vmotion by my license server and my ESX servers in my cluster but cannot get a license of vmotion because their attributed to the wrong ESX Server.

    How can I get the vmotion license released by the ESX servers who don't need and make it available on my ESX Server who need?  My three ESX servers in cluster shared storage for vmotion and don't have my two stand alone ESX servers.

    I tried simple things, like the disconnection of servers and ESX servers in reconnection vCenter, re-reading of license files, restart the license server, etc..  license and vCenter server is 2.5 U4.

    Thanks in advance.  Jim

    go to the configuration tab and click Networking, you have a Port VMkernel configuration?  If so, edit click the vSwitch properties, change your VMkernel port settings and uncheck the box that says VMotion: enabled.

  • 2012 NAS server set full control for the Admin user, but cannot add files

    Hi, I'm new on using Server 2012 (or any server operating system). I created a shared folder by using the files and storage, quick profile SMB services. I set the administrator with full access account. I added also a group of users with reading and only execute permissions, the administrator account is not within the group.

    I have the drive mapped to my desktop running Windows 7 Home. I use administrator credentials to log on. I try to add files through the mapped drive, but does not have my permission to create or copy files ("you have authorized to perform this action"). I can't that speculate that the problem is caused by the run as account on my desktop do not match those of the server? Any suggestions on fixing this problem?

    Note: I created a separate administrator account and a group on the server with a control total and still not able to add or modify files on the network drive,

  • Server with 10 TB LUN attached by physical brutes FC connection works, but second 10TB seems to be limited

    I have an ESX Server with two virtual machines on it, one of the servers is to store medical images. These virtual machines are essentially backup servers to servers that are physical (not virtual).  The main server is a physical server with an attached IBM DS4700 direct and secondary sandbox. I have 20 TB of data spaced so far.  Side virtual server also direct a of DS4700 attached to the area of ESX and he sees the first 10 fine to, as a single disc, and Yes, I know that this seems to go against the norm.  In any case we work for well over a year to date.  I add the second 10TB and I now seem to be limited by the expected 2 TB-512 b per LUN through documentation.  I would like to know why I was able to create the first 10 TB LUN without problem using physical RDM mode, but when I try to add the next physical drive from RDM on the same server (see 9.54 TB LUN very well), using the same method, why windows or should I say VMWare ESX is not being able to see the 10 to complete this time.  I am aware of the supposed limits, but the first works fine, why only now did he not see it.  To clarify the "Add" function of VMWare 9.54 Tb thin LUN during the creation of the new disc, but in Windows, it only recognizes the first 1.5 to (so it seems) I have not actually tried to format the volume in Windows and have yet once removed from the virtual machine.

    Windows 2008 64 bit standard on top of ESX 4 Enterprise Plus connected via direct fiber DS4700 and DS4000 with 10 TB on each table.  The virtual machine has been improved to version 7 machine and I have NOT tried add the second 10TB still with the new VM version. Thought I would ask first.

    Yes, you can map your volume of GPT in any physical Windows but I can't tell if you will experience data corruption or not, as I know that more than 2 TB volumes don't are not supported with current versions of vSphere.

    It is a good article on 2 TB limit, and how taken Windows support that: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/18/understanding-the-2-tb-limit-in-windows-storage.aspx
