• Turn off the power of infrastructure ESX 4.1 with VC as a guest

  Hello

  We have 4 guests ESX 4.1 running in a single cluster with VC running as a VM guest.

  I was wondering what are the necessary steps safely stop a cluster VMware and environment

  So far, I have the following text:

  1 connection to the VC server via vSphere client and note of VM guests who have the following VM guests:

  • VMware VC Server
    
  • Server of DB holding VMware DB
    
  • Domain controllers
    

  2 judgment of vSphere client using all standard virtual computer guests:

  3. connect to the appropriate host of VM (from the list above) with the root vmware account and stopping the VM guest following in this order:

  • VC Server
    
  • Server of DB holding VMware DB
    
  • Domain controllers
    

  It is at this point that I'm not sure-should I then log on to the hosts of the VM using the console and put into mode of maintenance and downtime of the console command line? Or would I have to do that by using the vSphere client?

  Chicken and egg situation

  It would be easier and cleaner to my paperwork so I could put the server in maintenance mode and close it from the console / shell / command line (whatever your call him) but I'm not sure commands to do this?

  Maybe I'm wrong all!

  In any case, help stop the environment itself would be very helpful!

  Thank you

  John

  The steps you mentioned are ok and there is no problem with the closure of the host (s) using the vSphere to all customer. No need to do it from the console.

• How to maintain the availability of the data store after the upgrade to ESXi 5.1 with the new IP address and the naming convention?

  How can we maintain access to the presented LUNS and VMFS data store after we improve the ESX in ESXi with the new naming convention and the new model of IP addressing?

  My back-end SAN EMC Clariion is VNX

  Thanks in advance.

  How are the hosts connected to storage systems. With FC HBA for example, there is basically nothing you need to do since the WWN will remain the same and so LUN presentation of the zoning on the switch and storage system does not need to be reconfigured.

• Patch ESX 4.1 with vihostupdate.pl failure

  Given that VMWare has decided is no longer supported that the utility was updated with ESXi host, I test the process of with ESX 4.1 update using the vihistupdate.pl and the VSphere CLI command line.

  I find 2 patches for ESXi 4.1 until now and try to update one of them with the command:

  vihostupdate.pl - Server esx2-i b c:\esx\ESXi410-201010001.zip b ESXi410-201010402-BG, ESXi410-201010401-SG

  When I try the installation fails, apparently during the extraction process of the archive in the directory newly created/tmp/updatecache /.

  Cannot download VIB. ('zip:/tmp/updatecache/ESXi410-201010001.zip?embeddedEsx/4.1.0/ESXi-4.1.0-patch01/vmware-esx-tools-light-4.1.0-0.1.320092.i386.vib', ' / var/tmp/cache /-375982546 ',' error extraction /tmp/updatecache/ESXi410-201010001.zip embeddedEsx/4.1.0/ESXi-4.1.0-patch01/vmware-esx-tools-light-4.1.0-0.1.320092.i386.vib: error - 3 during decompression: literal code / invalid length "")

  I even after him have unzipped and rezipping the contents of archive. Extraction of archive apparently fails.

  I see this in the cache directory:

  Any ideas? I can't see anything when you're looking for this error.

  Edit: Transfer the zip file into a directory and using the command of step esxupdate manually produce the same error message. VMWare patch file is no good?

  Make sure that you have one zero partition defined. If you have installed on a USB key, then you must define a. Since the client vSphere Configuration-> software-> settings tab advanced. You can point to a location in the data store.

  Check the available disk space.

  Make a MD5 checksum on the downloaded patch and check it against the value on the VMware Web site.

• Upgrade to ESXi (free) 3.5 to ESX 4.1 (with license)

  Hello

  Can I switch from ESXi (free) 3.5 to ESX 4.1 (with license)?

  Yes, I need to change for ESX ESXi.

  Is possible?

  Thank you

  Can I switch from ESXi (free) 3.5 to ESX 4.1 (with license)?

  Yes, I need to change for ESX ESXi.

  Is possible?

  Either way - ESX, ESXi and ESXi for ESX - requires a new installation of the operating system, there is no way to upgrade (regardless of the licensing). In case you have a data store VMFS on the drive where you install the operating system, you must back up (or migrate) and restore the virtual machine.

  I suggest that you create separate logical volumes to the OS (~ 20 GB) and the VMFS. This way you can switch back from ESX to ESXi in the future without the need to evacuate VMs. As you may know, ESX 4.1 is the latest version with the Service Console.

• Adding storage to esx. Problems with VCB proxy

  Hello

  I just added 4 FC LUN and them have initialized on ESX 3.02 with no problems.

  I went to the VCB proxy, which had the automount disable, then I think that I made a mistake because I put them online (done not initialized) and after that Vmware can't access these drives vmfs.

  Try to solve this problem I did the automount disable and scrub, but I don't know what to do next. Should I restart VCB proxy?

  According to some posts here, I've run ' fdisk-l/dev/SD all? "command and it shows that these 4 discs didn't fb partition type.

  Based in another post, I ran fdisk against each drive but I don't have the ability to place the partition type.

  Can someone help me on this?

  Thank you

  My DSL is peeling. But looking over your Yes steps. I can take down a second chance. I can't provide reliable help that I continue to be disconnected.

• slow performance with CentOS 5.5 reviews and multiple vCPUs

  We installed a server in CentOS 5.5 postgresql database comments in vSphere 4.

  This prompt 'verik' (2 vCpu, 16 GB RAM, core EAP) is the only host running on the vSphere host (2 x 6 core AMD Opteron 2439SE, 128 GB of RAM).

  We are witnessing very low yield (for example, when executing a pg_dumpall). The CSTP % seems rather high, especially compared to % RUN - and surprising since there is no claim to the resources of the host.

  We tried a variety of 2.6.18 kernels EAP (including attempts with the CONFIG_HZ 100 and with a divider = 10 options). More or less consistently poor performance.

  The BIOS of the host settings are:

  HyperTransport technology: HT 3

  Assist HT: enabled

  Virtualization technology: enabled

  DRAM prefetcher: enabled

  Training Software Prefetch Prefetch material: enabled

  Hardware prefetcher: enabled

  Demand-based power management: disabled

  We have also tried to run this comments with 1 vCPU (2.6.18 - 194.8.1.el5PAE):

  The first run after a reboot:

  time pg_dumpall >/dev/null

  Real 8m1.764s

  user 0m12.649s

  sys 0m3.133s

  While it works, the system fails (for example, a 'top' which should be updated every second can be updated every 7 seconds). The guest spends a lot of time in the 'system', do what we do not know.

  CPU: 17.3%us, 81.9%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.8%si, 0.0%st

  It takes 7 minutes on a server physics multi-core (4x2.8Ghz Xeon).

  It takes 17 minutes at best (more time) on "verik" with 2 vCPUs.

  We would really like to migrate our physical postgres server in VMware, but we cannot justify it doing so unless he can perform at least as well as on physical hardware. (We tried to store the database on the local disk and mounting NFS host datastore; similar performance in all cases. We also checked adequate bandwidth on our links for storage and front networks.)

  We reviewed several postings on execution of the guests with more than 1 vCpu and think we understand how vSphere CPU coscheduling works. But in our scenario, without conflict of use of CPU resources, we do not know why we're having performance issues.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  First, why OS 32-bit VMS with 16 GB of RAM?

  My first and very strong suggestion is to go for the 64-bit version of CentOS, EAP is known to have poor performance. Run us multiple virtual CentOS 64-bit machines, and I can't say that we have unexplained performance issues.

  You might try to twist a little bit the 32 bit existing OS, but I don't expect a big improvement. Keep this divider = 10 in your kernel parameters, but if you like to try again with simple CPU add 'nosmp noapic nolapic' kernel parameters, those can drop the percentage of time processor rdy one quite a bit, at least I saw that happen on busy ESX host. Also assign some pages of huge memory in the Linux kernel and configure PostgreSQL to use.

  Your BIOS settings also appear to be inefficient, the General recommendation is to disable the CPU features on the ESX host preloading since when the CPU executes several processes (VMs) preload results in a high number of failures which is just waste of cycles CPU.

  Equipment training on Software Prefetch Prefetch: disabled

  Hardware Prefetcher: disabled

  But still, go for 64-bit operating system.

• How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?

  Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.

  So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page

  How can I stop this now and forever?

  I look forward to your solution.

  Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.

  You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

  • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
  • the default homepage is Subject: Home
  • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

  The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

• My Yahoo Mail is "" forcing me to switch to Firefox by turning my functions in basic. Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and student?

  Hi, I have a Yahoo Mail account for many years. Now, they have turned my account in base saying that my IE9 is no longer supported and they are "" forcing me to download Firefox otherwise I have to continue with basic messaging. Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and studens? If I download firefox it will affect all the files I have on my computer? Will this affect my windows mail? Thanks for a quick reply.

  Firefox is compatible with windows 7 for home and studens?

  As far as I know, Firefox runs on all variants of Windows 7. Firefox works better with a lot of memory, so if your system has 2 GB of memory, you may be limited in the number of windows and tabs you can open simultaneously before things get bogged down compared to a system that has 4 GB of memory.

  If I download firefox it will affect all the files I have on my computer? Will this affect my windows mail?

  As a web browser, you can configure Firefox to your default program to open web pages and links. If you do this, while some icons may change, for example, links to web pages can change to an icon of Firefox. In addition, Firefox has a built-in PDF reader, but you can still use Adobe Reader or another program to read PDF files if you want.

  Are you using Windows Live Mail or another standalone program to retrieve messages? Firefox be involved with it because these programs to get the mail directly, not not using your browser. But if you make Firefox your default for links Manager, when you click on a link in the e-mail software, it will open in Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.

  Other things:

  (1) attention to the download links at random in search engine results. You can get Firefox here (scroll to your preferred language):

  https://www.Mozilla.org/Firefox/all/

  (2) I'm sure after Firefox is started the first time, you will have many questions. The program should give you a little tour of routine, and you can use our support articles for more information: https://support.mozilla.org/products/firefox

  (3) you must install IE11 because there are still a few sites that use patented technologies and are not displayed in Firefox, such as Windows update

• Why most of the tabs open empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum ' in the address line to the restart of Firefox since installing Firefox 28?"

  I have a system dual-bootable Windows Vista SP2 and Firefox updated to 28 on both systems. Since the update of the tabs more reopen empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum" in the address line of Firefox is restarted. The tabs that open correctly seem to be those who in fact, I was at the session of prefious. I can recover the missing tabs using the Session Manager to pick up a previous session, but of course it does not pick up the tabs open in future sessions. It seems that the tabs that I go to the session recovered are saved correctly, as indicated above, but which are not revisited in the context of the use of the session retrieved will drop the URL next time that I open Firefox it again.

  jdgale:

  I don't have the time to do it. However, 29 is just around the corner and we will put in the channel of exit 29, then hope that the issue is not you.

  P.S. I had originally chosen your last answer as the solution that you have migrated more to 29 but it seems that you have taken off. I'll be marking your last answer as the solution so that we can get out of the queue.

• I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the functionality is Gone

  I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the feature disappeared. I had a small icon on the top right of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep windows separated for financial, plans to travel items, news, etc.. Has it been removed from Firefox?

  Hello

  The feature of tab groups is always present. You can try with the button right of the + after the last tab and Customize. If the icon is hidden behind the other, or if it is available inside the mini window customize, you can put it back. If the problem persists, you can also try of reset toolbars and controls: and start to make changes and restart in Safe Mode screen.
