• OfficeJet 7612: I need drivers for copy on print server - do not install it on any machine

  All the drivers on the website seem to settle on the machine that I use. I have a print server that is Windows 2008 CORE so I connect from my machine to the server to configure each printer; and I need to have the driver installed on the server where it loads the driver on every machine that attaches to the printer.  I need a zip file containing the driver files and inf so I have copied on the server and each machine will install them automatically when they connect to the printer.  The HP Web site account EXE files to be installed on the machine, that I'm working on so I can't find the INF files and the driver that needs to go on the server.   It's very frustrating.  How can I get just the drivers?

  Hello

  You would need the program standard executable installation used for an another Windows operating system, but the method of installation must be done manually.

  Download the following drivers on your desktop and extract it in a place of choice (with Winrar or 7Z),
  Or by running the file, once the configuration dialog box open Explorer files, type %temp%, and then press enter and open the folder extracted from HP that begins with 7z (e.g. 7zS1234):

  http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL47661/MP-115385-2/OJ7610_Basicx64_971-2.exe

  Then follow this articale to install the drivers of the CMD using the MSIEXEC command:

• Can I move/copy an ESX Server on the free version

  Afternoon everyone,

  
  I don't have all the details that I took things upwards, but will my data center no later than next week.  We have a (free) ESXi server with 1 windows host.  This machine is pretty old and I wanted to just bring on new hardware and move.  Of some initial discussions they say I can use a V2V converter or something like that, so the questions are;

  1 - is the favorite/best way to take a running windows server and move it to new hardware?

  2. it is part of the free version?

  I think that will be enough to let me order some hardware, I know there was a limit of CPU, RAM etc.  The machine is a one processor, 12 G of ram so not surprising, I just wanted to put a new quadcore CPU, maybe probably 24 32G of RAM and all SSD.  I don't want to get to a point where I have to spend $1 K on a license to simply keep the existing 1 windows machine.

  Thank you.  I don't know that there are a few others that this project is started.

  Thank you

  There are a few options to move virtual machines from one host to another. One - as you have already said - is to use the free VMware vCenter Converter Standalone, which is probably the easiest option. Another way to migrate the virtual computer would be to export the virtual machine as an OVF/EGGS and import it on the new host. Last but not lease, you can manually download files of the virtual machine to store data from the host ESXi (via WinSCP for example) and upload the file to the new host.

  Just make sure that your hardware is supported for ESXi version, you use to avoid frustration.

• ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0 assessment?

  My copy of ESX Server 3i tells me I have 20 days left.  I thought that this version was free?

  Log on to https://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/?p=esxi and you will see the serial number. Unless you enter it, ESXi will run in mode assessment that includes all of the features, HA, DRS, VMotion etc, but for 60 days only.

• Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management

  Hot migration is possible with VMWare ESXi 5.1.0 without an ESX server management?
  I wonder for a future issue, a scenario where a system administrator must build a Win2008 + DC on local storage, server
  then, once the physical box is integrated into the class network, the physical box is connected to the classified SAN storage.
  Is it possible to hot - migrate the server Win2008 + CC local storage to SAN storage at this time, with only the
  free version of VMWare ESXi 5.1.0?

  Welcome to the community - I guess that you are looking to do this, while the virtual machine is currently running - this is not possible without a management server, also called vCenetr, but all is not lost because you would be able spend the VM local storage to the San with the VM posered using the client storage management features

• Specification of disk for the ESX Server

  I set up a new ESX Server.  Internal drives will be used for ESX - no data warehouses.  Complete 7.2 K rpm SATA drives (RAID-1), or is there an advantage to walk up to the 15 K RPM SAS drives?

  ESXi does not fast disks (or any disk at all). You can even install ESXi on a USB stick or SD card. Once loaded, ESXi running in memory and only to rewrite the disk configuration changes.

• Move VMS between server ESXi and vSphere ESX server

  Dear all,

  I want to move some a vSphere ESX server virtual machines to ESXi server.

  I understand that some users will use CPS to move between the ESX servers, but apparently not for moving between different products.

  I'm just using a slow and prone to error method:

  The files of the virtual machine to my deskop PC of vSphere ESX server and then upload to the ESXi server.

  I would advise you to please all of the methods that is better than this one?

  Help, please.

  Kind regards

  Tommy

  If you got a central storage you can move virtual machines between the two products with vMotion. Since you don't seem to have available vMotion, you pouvez use scp. SCP has nothing to do with ESX/ESXi products. It is a Linux/Unix program which is available in both servers.

  So with the CPS, you need a little less.

  The syntax is like:

  SCP - r/path/to/vm/directory user@esxi:/path/to/new/location

• VMware ESXi for ESX 4

  Hello

  Someone know if can I upgrade my ESX 3i (3.5.0) to VMware vSphere (ESX 4)?

  Thank you

  You can't spend of ESX ESXi... ESX to ESX and ESXi for ESXi only... At least, not as an 'upgrade '. Provided that your host is on the HCL for ESX/ESXi 4 (u1 as well), then you can install it. This will be a facility of cleaning/charges however, wiping the LUN which ESX is installed on.

  You might want to stay on ESXi however, given that ESX is pretty much going to end with the 4.x releases (at least this is what I mean)... The released product in 2011 only is not available in two flavors, just ESXi...

  The ESX CLI, consider using the device of vMA and element vSphere CLI on your vCenter Server installation. You can also install the PowerCLI element to win these CLI scripting options.

• Copy the files/etc/passwd and/etc/Group from your ESX Server to the machine that you want to use as map server

  I'm trying to set up an NFS share on my windows server so that I can do vMotion.  I have 2 ESX servers that will access the storage location so that I can vMotion the content on an ESX Server to the other ESX Server.  I came across many discussion forums who say I need to "copy the files/etc/passwd and/etc/Group for your ESX Server to the machine that you want to use as map server"... How can I copy these files onto my ESX Server?

  I am VERY VERY new to VMware and will need step by step instructions on how to do it.

  Thanks in advance!

• Copy the VM on the ESX server @ remote site

  Need a virtual machine to copy to an ESX Server at a remote site. The remote site is on a WAN to 12 MB link.

  What would be the best way to get a copy of the virtual machine on the remote site?

  The virtual machine on the remote site is using local storage in its VMFS data store.

  Would this work.

  Orginal VM clone

  Unregister the Clone

  Copy all the files of the virtual machine to USB using FastSCP

  Download files of the virtual machine to the local VMFS data store

  Right-click VMX and click on add to the inventory

  Am I missing measures?

  If bandwidth is a problem, and your VMDK is thick provisioning, you can use vmware converter to convert format of vmware workstation in the USB, Converter it will be thin. and then reupload again via the converter when you're there. It could save you a few upload and download times.

• Copy VM on the esx server.

  Hi all

  I just did a virtualized copy of a server I am running and it saved on my local computer. Is it possible using vSphere to copy the virtual machine from my local computer to the ESXi Server? Or what I need to do through other means?

  Hello

  You can use VMware Converter to import you VM on the local disk or even convert and import into your physical server directly VMware vSphere.

  

  It depends on what you did and what you are currently using.

  If you have a single server of VMware ESXi and one or several VM to a local disk, you can use VMware Converter.

  I myself prefer to use vCenter Converter (built-in) or VMware Converter to import my physical server in my virtual space.

  If you can get more information, maybe I or anyone else can help you more.

  Hello

  Could someone point me to the version of esx server/vi client /VC versions of the server, which can be the trial downloaded and tried. (downlaods section Vmsphere of the trial for 2 months)

  My goal is to run the server as a VM esx in vmware workstation in documents Xtravirt. (I had earlier run esx 3.0 on workstation 6.0.2 with VC 2.0 and 2.5 client Vi)

  If I could get the same versions also problem would be resolved. But it would have been great if I could run each of them on trial versions that I could connect to VC and log in as a user and add another administrator virtual machines.

  Thank you

  I can try the new vSphere suite: ESX4 + VC 4 +...

• Implementation of the array for esx server

  Hello everyone:

  This is my first post here, and I'm a newcomer to virtualization. I've seen given the task of putting in place an esx server. Now, I need to configure a processor computer double hearts HP DL380. I need to set up a 20 GB partition for esx and the rest of the disk space for the second partition for the VMs.

  My question is, what is the best configuration of raid for this scenario.

  Thank you.

  The best option will be to go for RAID 5 (HP RAID DDG), if you want a higher level of redendany (2 disk failures) go for RAID ADG (RAID 6). I recommend that you create a table and two driving logic. A first for the ESX operating system and second to the VMFS. VMFS to allocate a larger share.

• 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.
