• I need help opening Aspire R13 (R7 - 371T) to add additional SSD card.

  How to open the bottom of the R13? I can't find any information on this anywhere. I tried it myself. With Acer, I confirmed that there are altogether 12 screws I could locate and remove. However, I tried to lift the cover and then remove without success. It comes off almost halfway in the middle of the longer sides of the top and bottom but everything seems still as if I'm going to break the plastic if I dig everything more difficult. Acer support just tells me to keep searching around the top until it comes off and when I tell it like it will break they default and say to take it to a technician. Help, please.

  PS My apologies if you've already seen this question posted as a response to this post upgrade 1 TB SSD.

  fat_owen,

  There are no screws should be removed to remove this piece of hinge. You don't have to remove the keyboard or screen to access the internal components of the system. Once the hinge is removed, there are 12 tiny screws that need to be deleted to remove the tiny itself.

  There is a problem with the wifi adapter "wireless network connection Wireless LAN adapter:" the driver is corrupted or it is incorrectly configured.

  I would start by removing the current driver of sifi and install the latest driver available.

  The IP address for the above connection is

  This state it does not connect with the router.  Alternatively, you can try to restart the computer and the router at the same time.

• Is there a command line method "add a network location"?

  I want my users to see the "human environment" explore files in their browser names rather than the drive letter mappings; for example, instead of \\server\share , I want that they see a folder "claims" or a "claims" case which could map to \\server\share or \\server\share\folder or any other combination that I choose. I know I can do it manually, but I prefer to do it through a script as we have 1000 users. Thank you.

• Can the server PowerEdge T110 II add a network card?

  Hello

  I need an additional NETWORK card for my T110II but it does not detect a TP-LINK TG-3468 PCI-express card.

  Start the server, but I do not see the screen of boot rom (bios Integrated NIC) and Windows do not detect the new device.
  The T110II do not recognize a card RAID SATA AS-Rock with boot rom too.

  I think that the problem comes from the boot of these PCI-e cards rom. Is there a solution to detect these cards?
  Or you know a network card compatible cheap gigabit?

  I already asked my country DELL support, and I have no answer.

  Thank you

  Sorry for the questions in the NETWORK card getting to work.  The system will certainly take additional network cards, the T110 II 4 PCIe slots:

  Two x 8 slots (one with x 16 connectors)

  One x 4 slot (with x 8 connector)

  A x 1 slot

  The integrated port is the Broadcom® BCM5722 gigabit Ethernet card.  When it comes with Dell servers and 3rd-party cards, questions may arise if you have a network adapter that is certified to work with the device.  Dell cannot support the cards that are valid and tested within the server.

  A very common that we see added to the system is the Broadcom 5709, NIC PCIE4 Dragonfly.  The card is popular because it can be associated with the on-board.

  About your SATA RAID card, questions are the same it regarding uncertified maps.

  Lastely, I would make sure you have cards in cracks, here is the link to the manual, System 68 page has details about the locations specific PCIe priority and system information

• not supported for ESXi 4 NIC... Can I simply add a NETWORK card?

  Maybe it's painfully obvious, but I don't want to assume anything.  I tried to install ESXi 4u1 this morning on a machine just to see if it would work, and I have not reported any supported network cards.  Can I buy a NETWORK card support and then ESXi 4 will work?  Is it really as simple as that, or is there some other stuff that I'm not aware of?

• ISCSI best practices

  Doesn anyone know where I can find a guide to best practices, VMware ISCSI?  They have best practice NFS Guides but not an ISCSI.  I downloaded the Guide of ISCSI VMware, but I expect a guide of best practices.  If anyone knows where they have a guide please send me a link.  Thanks in advance.

  The reason that there are choices, is that it is not better. It depends on your situation, SAN vendor, etc.

• Recommendations or best practices around change of the audio data on a network share?

  I have several users editing audio located on the same network share. They are always complaining about the performance.  Is it a best practice to edit audio located on the network?  I see so many issues (latency time, possible corruption, etc.) with that from the computer SCIENCE point of view, but I would like the opinion of those more familiar with the application and its best practices.  Thanks in advance.

  It's crazy! So that any audio to be edited with any degree of speed and security, it must be downloaded to a local computer, edited on that, and then the final result re-recorded on the network.

  You might as well do this anyway - at the time wherever you make a change, you store a local version of the file temp on the editing machine, and it has real save, or save as who turned to the network drive. Also, you would be working on a copy, the original is still available in the case of the vis - is up, and would not be the case if you edit the original files directly on the network, so it is intrinsically safer.

• HA, Best practices

  Friends, I have a simple question, say many professionals to create a good environment for HA, I need to have multiple NICs on the host, this would be a NETWORK card for the console and the other for storage and another NIC for VMotion, but by defaultStorage NIC is not connected to the same NETWORK adapter used by VMotion?

  In an environment where I have two hosts, each host with two network adapters and storage you can not activate HA?

  
  Thank you!

  It is not required to have 4 network cards or even 2NICs. You can do HA and vMotion on a computer using a single network adapter. Now, VMware recommend this as vMotion for example is able to use the bandwidth of a full NIC which would leave your storage / HA and VMS with literally no bandwidth left. Where the reason why we suggest to add multiple network cards to a server and separate traffic with VLANS. These cards can all be part of the same vSwitch and they may be associated.

• Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

  Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

  My hardware:

  I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

  The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

• How to add the second network card?

  A server (VMware ESX 4.1) works well with a network card. Since I want to add a virtual switch, I need to add another network card. So I inserted into a PCI slot and reboot ESX. But the ESX does not. I need to reinstall ESX to let him find this network adapter?

  Thank you very much for the help.

  The added network adapter is Gigabit PCI Desktop Adapter, D-Link DGE-528 t.

  I tried several model D-link years... None of this can work.

  Use a broadcom or Intel card (and listed in HCL).

• I want to know if we can add more than one network card and maximum how we can add?

  Well, if I want to add a network card or two at - it a possiblity of external cards containing those integrated? If so what to do with it?

  This would be only limited by the number of slots or ports for the cards.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  These types of configurations are generally only used on servers and, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, the use of multiple network cards usually leads to two simultaneous situations:

  1. Headaches size Texas!
  2. Size of Texas PITA!

  Shortly after affected by these events of size of Texas follows a sudden want to break the computer with a hammer usually...

• Add network cards to esxi3.5

  Hello

  I'm new you the world of VMware. I have a server installed and Setup. I went through the documentation of one of the applcations I want to install which is websense. They recommend 4 network cards. I've only installed 2 which are integrated and came with the system. Can I add another 2 NICs thereafter? If so, how woould I add them?

  Thank you

  I am runnig ESXi 3.5.

  Yes you can add additional network adapters in the server.  I got lucky with the Dual port Intel Pro 1000 PT PCI express ports RPF and the Dual Port Intel Pro 1000MT for PCI - X.  I am currently running 6 network adapters on each host using both onboard and 2 Intel Dual Port NIC.  Then according to your network config, you need to create additional vswitches in ESX or simply add adapters to an existing vswitch if add you maps network for failover.

• Looking for a best practices guide: complete replacement cluster

  Hello

  I was in charge as the complete replacement of our current environment hardware ESXi 5.0 U2 with a new cluster of servers running 5.1.

  Here are the basics:

  Currently, HP Blade Server chassis with 6 hypervisors running ESXi 5.0 U2, the company license, about 100 or so virtual running different operating systems - mainly MS 2003 R2 to 2008 R2, stores the data on without connected through ethernet connections 1 GB.

  Intended to run 7 independent servers as a cluster with ESXi 5.1, license of the company, connections to SAN be improved to 10 GB ethernet or fiber.  The range of virtual machines in the importance of 'can be restarted after hours' to ' should not be restarted or that will cost us money service interruptions.  (Looking for the options live - migrate if possible although I have my doubts, it will be an option given the cluster plans)

  I'm looking for a Guide to best practices (or a combination of the guides) which will help me to determine how best to plan the migration of VM - especially in light of the fact that the new cluster will be not part of the existing.  Given also the fact we upgrade is unable (due to problems on the chassis firmware) 5.1 before this work...

  Any pointers in the right direction would be great - look no no not a handout, just people signs

  See you soon.

  Welcome to the community - from vCenter 5.1 can manage an ESXi 5.0 host just one at a time do guests 5.0 5.1 and vmotion the VMs to new hosts - environment as the two environment will see the same SAN it will be necessary for storage vmotion.

• Best Practice Guide for stacked N3024 switches

  Is there a guide to BP for the configuration of the 2 N3024s stacked for the connections to the server, or is the same eql iscsi configuration guide.

  I'm trying to:

  1) reduce to a single point of failure for rack.

  (2) make good use of LACP for 2 and 4 nic server connections

  (3) use a 5224 with it's 1 lacp-> n3024s for devices of unique connection point (ie: internet router)

  TIA

  Jim...

  Barrett pointed out many of the common practices suggested for stacking. The best practice is to use a loop for stacking and distributing your LAG on multiple switches in the stack, are not specific to any brand or model of the switch. The steps described in the guides of the user or the white papers generally what is the recommended configuration.
  http://Dell.to/20sLnnc

  Many of the best practices scenarios will change of network-to-network based around what is currently plugged into the switch, and the independent networks needs / requirements of business. This has created a scenario where the default settings on a switch are pre-programmed for what is optimal for a fresh switch. Then recommended are described in detail in white papers for specific and not centralized scenarios in a single document of best practices that attempts to cover all scenarios.

  Express.ypH N-series switches are:
  -RSTP is enabled by default.
  -Green eee-mode is disabled by default.
  -Frother is enabled by default.
  -Storm control is disabled by default.

  Then these things can change based on the towed gear and needs/desires of the whole of society.

  For example, Equallogic has several guides that recommendations of configuration detail to different switches.
  http://Dell.to/1ICQhFX

  Then on the side server, you would like to look more like the OS/server role. For example a whitepaper VMware that has some network settings proposed when running VMware in an iSCSI environment.
  http://bit.LY/2ach2I7

  I suggest making a list of the technology/hardware/software, which is used on the network. Then use this list to acquire white papers for specific areas. Then use these white papers best practices in order to ensure the switch configuration is optimal for the task required by the network.
