Hosting applications for customers

Hi sent an email to VMWare support, asking them if I could host VMs for my customers paying on ESXi 4. I got a response, which was 'no' which is fair enough.

I then asked another question, asking if I was allowed to host a web server, java application server, mail server, Server database etc. for customers. Again, I've got an answer 'no', which surprised me, as seems to say that I cannot have the EULA:

"* VMware."

grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license *, without rights of

grant a sub-license, to install or have installed a single instance of the software

and each additional Module licensed on a single server, unless it is allowed to have

multiple instances on a single server or have several multiple instances

Servers by the payment of fees applicable (if these charges are based

VMware on a per processor, per Virtual Machine, by user or any other

license model approved); (ii) use the software and each additional license

Module only for the transformation information and calculation of needs,

including computer services hosting based on the application of a

Virtual machine and the provision of these services by internal or external

network to third parties, provided these services do not allow the

third party to install, download or uninstall computer applications to and

the Virtual machine (s); "

Did anyone here know if I'm allowed to do?

Thank you very much

I think that there is some kind of misunderstanding between you and VMware support...

You can do what you want for VM on ESXi 4, just as you can on ESX 4... What you do with these VMS are totally to you. If I wanted to start to host web sites for people (customers pay or just friends) then I could. Provided, of course, I aligned the complementary technologies, I would need for communication on the web for virtual machines. It would be the same if you had not used ESXi in the mix and had decided to use physical servers for each client (the old method)... Now with ESX/ESXi you can have a single host server and create additional virtual machines so that each client/customer (customer is probably a better term to use when communicating with people from VMware) has a server that do not have someone to another server.

If you are going to host applications for others, I would say that having a SAN for the virtual machine is to be found as well as at least two servers set up for HA/DRS to make sure that you have no downtime if a host fails / has problems. Make sure that you have supported for the host (hardware and software) as well as the SAN. I'd also that you have a solution to backup and restore in place, not only the SAN network. If the people you pay to host apps/sites/etc, you should also have a sort of SLA in place (if you have not already) and to provide in the event that the customer's server has a failure, what will be the time to get online.

They would think that you wanted to charge people to use the ESX/ESXi real host server. This isn't something I would do.

    Hi dude

    To be honest I never encounter this error message on my two different notebooks of a graphics chip ATI but I searched a bit on the internet and it seems that this error would appear on different systems. Vista and Win 7
    It seems that he might appear on desktop or laptop PC so it's not easy to say why this happens, but I found a comment interesting in other forums

    _Someone wrote this: _
    + I have to solve this problem, use the following steps. +
    + Go to c:\ and right-click on users. Select Properties. On the general tab, look down to the hidden selection. If not, there is a box to tick in the box, place a check mark. Hit apply, select Yes to apply to all subdirectories. If you click ok, you may notice that he disappeared in the pane on the right, once it ends. It should always appear in the tree view on the left. Right click on it again. This time, remove the check mark and apply to all subdirectories. Once it's over, your files in the Users directory should reappear and Catalyst Control Center should function normally again. +

  • Issue of satellite A300 Catalyst Control Centre - host application has stopped working

    At startup, and whenever I try to open the Catalyst Control Center, Windows displays the error message ' Catalyst Control Centre: host application has stopped working ".

    Has anyone else with similar problems.
    I tried to reinstall the drivers on the toshiba site, and install the new drivers on the ATI site and all I could think about. Given that the two pilots do not work im not able to exceed the resolution 1024 x 768.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I googled for this error message and found many people having this problem.
    It s not related to the laptop, but for the driver
    Who knows why.

    In any case, in most cases the people solved this problem by the new driver Catalyst installation.
    You should do this;

    -upgrade your Vista to the last State
    -remove the old system catalyst
    remove/uninstall the graphics since the device manager driver
    -Restart the computer and reinstall the driver and catalyst

    Should work!

  • Why my Catalyst Center: the host application has stopped working?

    When I log on my computer, a window opens in two separate occasions stating that Catalyst Center: the host application has stopped working... How can this be repaired?

    Hi Missy,

    This probably isn't a problem MSE or malware.  It could be a problem with the video software (which is otherwise commonly) and I have it on my system as well for my ATI graphics card.

    This just started recently - as the last day or more?  If so, try a system restore to before it started to see if that helps. If you use Windows 7, seehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, seehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. Sometimes this simple process made the rounds and sometimes that doesn't help - but it is easy and worth if she has recently begun.

    Good luck!

    Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

    1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

    If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

    1 unplug the appliance.

    2. restart Windows XP.

    If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

    For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

    (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

    Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

    If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

    Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

    If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

    4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

    a. copy the text of the error message.

    b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://support.Microsoft.com

    (http://support.microsoft.com)

    c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

    d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

    If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

    If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

    Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

    If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

    If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

    If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

    To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

    a. restart the computer.

    (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

    d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

    If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

  • Generic host process for win32 services has encountered a problem and cannot update windows

    Whenever I start my computer, I get this error message "generic host process for win32 services has encountered a problem and needs to close." The details of this problem are:

    c:/DOCUME~1/owner/locals~1/temp/wer94ea.dir00/appcombat.txt

    I also send an error report whenever this happens.

    The computer is running XP, but lately some settings have been changed such that the display is windows classic instead of XP.

    In addition, I can't run Windows Update completely. It freezes / hangs up in the middle of the update. I have also no audio.

    Please help, I ran SuperAntispyware, Spybot, and Avira. I'm lost!

    Reinstalling the operating system is unable to solve your problem. There is no need to do this if the problem is not related to the operating system and you find that you are back where you started.

    You gave us a general indication of the nature of the problem but the specific error reports are a much easier solution.

    When a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) the system failure occurs, for most users, there not enough time to fully record what he says. the exact text is important for anyone trying to diagnose what is wrong. You can save time when the error occurs then by following the procedure described below.

    If you already did it disable the auto reboot system error. This should help by allowing the time to write the code to Stop error and related information correctly. Do right click on the icon my computer on the desktop and select Properties, advanced, startup and recovery, system failure and uncheck the box before automatically restarting. Re-do not enable automatic restart in the event of system failure after obtaining this information, this setting is the best left to not allow an automatic restart.

    If the failure occurs during the initialization of the computer, you need to try a different approach. You can access the Advanced Options Menu of Windows on multiple computers by constantly pressing the F8 (key) key when starting and selecting the option - disable automatic restart in case of system error. This method is not always easy to use because it may be difficult to press the F8 key at the right time. Try again if it doesn't work the first time. On some computers, a different key must be used.

    Take a look in the system and Application logs in the errors and warnings event viewer and post here the copies. Do not post on that more than 48 hours ago.

    You can access event viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, and Event Viewer. When searching for the meaning of the error, information about the event ID, Source and Description are important.

    A tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. You will see a button resembling two pages. Click on the button and close Event Viewer. This places a copy of the report to your Clipboard. Paste it into the body of your message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
