ESXi on Sony laptops

Does anyone have an experience of installing ESXi on a Sony laptop?  I have a Sony AR61ZU session do nothing and want to start with tests ESXi...

If you want the argument less to install and want to avoid the problems of material, that you ultimately won't be able to fix, install windows or linux, then run workstation on top of your host operating system and run ESXi inside vmware workstation.  Most likely, your sony will have problems with the disk controller.  If you are able to get around this, you can have problems with the network adapter.  If you can move together, then you have the chance.

    They had me also download and install other drivers and software to complete my re - install.  Thanks again for the advice it is a big help.

  • German version of XP on Sony laptop. Here the English version.

    My wife came back with a Sony laptop, a native of Austria, (his mother updated).  Now I want an English version.  In language change, it gives me only German or Austrian German.  I also want to upgrade the hard drive.  I have no discs for drivers Europe ect.  What would be the best course of action.  This laptop is aprox 5 years.

    Hello Highpower,

    Thanks for posting. If a German version of XP is currently loaded on the system, and you want English, you will need to buy an English version of XP and install it on the system.

    I hope this helps!

  • How can I upgrade Vista 32 bit to Vista 64 bit on a Sony laptop?

    Hi there; Please tell me how I can upgrade Vista 32 Bit to 64 bit Vista on a Sony laptop?
    Without having to install a new 64-bit version and then I lose my Sony laptop platform,.

    that would prevent me from making the web.

    (I like to keep all my installed Sony devices & drivers more bits & bats).
    The disc tells me that the upgrade function is grayed out and pass through the windows!

    But does that mean?

    Peut-there please help me someone?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    There is no way to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit; they are different operating systems.

    It must be done with a new installation of the 64-bit operating system.

    First thing to do is to check with Sony to see if 64-bit drivers are available for your machine:

  • ESXi on a laptop

    I think that this question has been asked before. I installed esxi 5.5 on your desktop and installed the Client vSphere on a separate office to manage the server and create virtual machines.

    The question is if I build an esxi on a laptop as a base and try to create several virtual machines, what should I use to manage the server on the same box?

    Please let me know if the issue is not clear?

    Thanks for the help.

    Ogeccut wrote:

    So there is nothing that can manage a server on the server?

    Server must be managed remotely? Fix?

    Thank you for the answers.

    ESXi is a bare metal hypervisor... you can not implement machines locally. If you want that, then use Hyper-V. You must have a remote client to manage your host and available to virtual machines.

  • Use of the BT Stack on Sony laptop

    I ask forgiveness for the bad English!

    The fact is that I had problems with the definition and the original USB (Sony TOSHIBA also? But I don't know which version) drivers are not installed (undefined device UGX)
    I downloaded the latest version here BT Stack 8.0 and it works very well on my Sony Vaio VGN-FE21HR. But the 30 day demo version.

    What will happen in 30 days? (work stoppage?)
    How do I get the full version, without any limit on the duration of use?

    Thank you!

    > How to get the full version, without limitation on the duration of use?
    If you use the battery Toshiba BT on non-Toshiba laptop, you must contact notebook manufacturer for support. Check the support of Sony and download info page and pick-up on the BT support.

    Toshiba bluetooth stack, Sony & Windows 7

    "To continue or not to continue the reinstallation of the Toshibas enigma -" Toshiba bluetooth stack "-on a Windows 7 Pro upgrade Vista Pro.

    After a clean install, I lost my beautiful environment of Bluetooth on my laptop Sony vgn-bx51-vn in 2005 (a laptop that is like finding teeth of chicken on the Sony site).  I did a smart thing to keep the "Toshiba" Bluetooth file when I finally removed the windows.old folder after the re-installation.  Only smart because it allowed me to compare models with a pilot of 'original' newly downloaded and files utility (including msi files) Sony - the result was that there are a lot of files that is different.

    They newly installed drivers grumble horribly subject knowing incompatabilities with Win 7 (which is just a skin on top of Vista... or so I thought) and refuse to carry you.  They subsequently take you to Toshiba where you end by abandon the search for any useful help in spite of being a good faith user - no?

    Cut to the Chase.  Can someone please help to get the drivers/utilities on my Sony notebook by hook or crook.  NB. I hope just to aspire to the use of Bluetooth for something useful someday but am also irritated by the cul-de-sac which is software policy.

  • Wag54G2 wireless for Sony laptop configuration

    Hello

    I'll put up a new laptop Sony VGN-NS20E (Vista OS) to my WAG54G2. As you can see by reading this that I set up a wired connection, but the problem lies in connecting wireless to the WAG. The laptop has a problem with the PIN number I enter when you set up the connection. He tells me it is incorrect. I know that the number is correct, that it is on the lower side of the unit. I have tried various attempts, including the seizure of the generated security key when I put the WAG on my desktop PC and the key generated automatically as the Sony offers me. Nowhere in the instructions does show to mention the PIN number and showing it in the computer. This is my first ever installation of a wireless system, so please forgive me if I'm missing what is obvious, but I desperately need help. I can't even contact a technician because when I hit the ignition key is the trial version of MS office on the laptop used and starts asking me for a product key, which I did not and it won't let me do any more without a product key (thank you Mr. Gates, very clever that one!)

    Everyone helps provide no clues?

    Concerning

    Quincy

    As you are aware of all wireless (SSID, security key) of your router settings. You can do is, on your computer, click on start - Control Panel - Network and sharing Center - and under NSC on the left side to the high slot 'Task' click 'Manage wireless networks' window, and click on 'Add' and it invites you to select the 3 Options, you must click on 'Manually create a network profile' and on the next screen it prompts you to enter your wireless network (SSID) name Enter your SSID, select the security level and enter your password security key and click Next and the following screen, click on "connect to" now it will show you your connected network. Now, check if you are online.

  • Windows 7 - Sony laptop usable GTA iv?

    Original title: question

    can my laptop run gta iv (sony vaio vpceh38fn)

    Plug

    processor Intel core i5 2450 m 2.50 ghz with turbo boost up 3.10 ghz
    geniune windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system
    8 GB of RAM (sharp) 500 GB HDD
    graphics - NVIDIA® GeForce® 410M
    15.5 inches wide (WXGA: 1366 x 768) screen color TFT (VAIO Display, LED backlight)

    I can't answer without landmarks for GTA4. I have no personal experience with the features of laptops.
    It is difficult to extrapolate from the reviewed games, but like I said earlier I think, you'd be in the research and low and medium settings even with a small monitor. You can get 30-40 fps average.
    Games in itself is not the needs of fps, but what frame rate cuts
    below 20 things are starting to become seriously agitated and crashing is more likely.

    People have different opinions on what are the playable fps. I am very pleased with very small minimum SPF with some games. I used to play Crysis with minimum of 20 frames per second.
    I consider 35 average fps + as smooth in most games. Some games seem smoother with lower than other fps.
    Some games like Oblivion have a highly variable rate. Oblivion on my
    the current machine (AMD Phenom 965 @3. 4 GHz / GTX560ti / resolution 1920 x 1080) will always be as low as 20 fps fall sometimes (when it is mounted on a fast horse), but averages closer to 50 frames per second.
    Other games, like Crysis 2 have a very stable fps with only a variation of 10 frames per second.
    However, many insist that anything below 50 FPS is unplayable. I guess they eyes of Superman or a lot of money for high-end machines.

    Personally, I wouldn't bother with GTA4 on your laptop because I like to see
    all the pleasure of the eyes a game can offer.  Old games and games with the drop in spending would be better suited to your laptop - IMO.
    I got GTA Vice City and San Andreas were more fun than GTA4.
