Hot cloning - let the physical server running then?

• VMware converter restarts the physical server after cold clone

  Hey

  This can already city, but I can't find any discussion about it. I do a few P2Vs using the bootable disk to Vmware converter 4.1.0 cold clone. We have not all KVM/IP switches, I visit the server room to check the status of the conversion. The problem I have is that once the converter is completed, it randomly restarts the physical server, I converted (does not seem to happen to any of them). Of course, I don't want the physical server switch on again as changes could be made to it. I don't see any option in the converter to tell him not to restart or even stop that would be ok?

  Has anyone encountered this problem and maybe a solution?

  See you soon

  This is a very dirty hack that will do what you want

  Edit the coldclone.iso and delete the file... \I386\bootfix.bin.

  If you delete this file from the CD will not be asked to "press any key to boot from the CD" - instead, it will always start in the CD.

  So this also means you must change the boot sequence for the physical machine BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM.

  Then - even if the CD Coldclone restarts for unknown reasons - it will never restart under the original system, but raise the CD.

• VMware Converter error conversion physical server running CentOS 4.7

  I'm trying to convert a physical server running CentOS 4.7 to a virtual machine (on an ESX 3.5 server) using VMware converter - 4.0.0 - 146302.  The server is powered and I start the converter customer and go through all the steps to convert the server.  The process starts and hangs at 1 percent.

  I have exported and reviewed the logs and see what follows in the agent log:

  I can convert Windows servers on the ESX Server without any problems. Can someone translate this myself and I would like to know how to work around errors?

  Thank you

  On the Linux server you are converting.  When the converter reaches step 3 Options display/change the last option is called Helper VM Network.  You can change this option and add an ip address.  The ip address must be on the same network to your default gateway on your Linux server.

• VMware converter restarts the physical server after conversion!

  I try without shutting down the server at all because it's a production server.  I don't have a Vcenter (to copy to an esxi to an another esxi).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  For sure in the Converter 4 there is an option for the source stop server after migration.

  Below you will find a screen of VMware converter 5 with the option you are looking for. It is available at the end of the migration Assistant in OPTION --> option advance section

  

  Below the download link for Converter 5

• Shared memory on the Sparc Server running Oracle 10 G

  Newbie: I can overscribe memory on a server that hosts multiple instances of Oracle? It seems normal to oversubscribe memory on multiple instances if Oracle assigns the maximum available memory on a server at the time of the request.
  For example:
  
  How Oracle manages memory if I have 16 GB of physical memory, run 4 instances of Oracle on my server and specify the max_sga than 8 GB in my/etc/project file? This configuration seems to oversubscribe memory twice, 32 GB memory requested on a server that has only 16 GB of physical memory.
  
  Oracle manages memory differently if I have 16 GB of physical memory, run 4 instances of Oracle on my server and specify the max_sga like 16 Gb in my/etc/project file? This configuration seems to oversubscribe memory four times, 64 GB memory requested on a server that has only 16 GB of physical memory.
  
  
  Thank you for your help.

  With Solaris and DISM, you can set the MAX_SGA_SIZE and the TARGET_SGA_SIZE of different values. The TARGET_SGA_SIZE for all MORE the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instances for all instances should be around 80-90% of the total RAM. You can then change the targets to let different instances have 'more' when they need while reducing others.

  In this way, you can manage the memory and avoid swapping, because when it comes to performance (and managers yell at you for low performance) swap is not a good thing.

  Note that this is possible on the machines and operating systems that support the DISM and enabled/configured. Which is discussed in the manuals of Solaris.

  But in the ideal, a machine will have only one instance of database and several instance of database requirements will be consolidated as much as possible. (Although he explain literally hundreds sof reasons do not consolidate - several policies rather than technical.)

• Migrate CUCM, CUP and CUC VMS from the physical server Dell to a UCS

  Hi all

  We have 3 virtual machines from one physical server to Dell, we want to migrate those virtual machines from a server of the UCS.

  Reference Dell physical server:

  Model: PowerEdge M610

  UCS: Version of UCS B200 M4 3.0 (2 c)

  I was wondering if just copy all the files of the virtual machine to another server or there is another procedure to do this... and also we need new licenses of vmware?

  Thank you very much!!

  Kind regards!

  ESXi licenses is up to you, you might have bought it so that the UCS, or buy directly from VMWare, but you need to license.

  As for traffic, if you have vCenter, you can move the virtual machines using it (vMotion and/or Storage vMotion), or if not, you can perform a cold migration.

• Need a SMTP service for the web server running Windows 7 Professional SP1

  The remote server administration tools package seems to work only for the management of Windows 2008. I have a web server running on Windows 7 and want to integrate the messaging service. IIS 7.5/7.0 does not include this feature. Now that are remote server administration tools installed, I tried to use the feature of IIS 6.0, however, a message is displayed to indicate that I don't have the SMTP service is installed. I checked the 'Server' SMTP under functionality after installing IIS 6.0 from the admin of remote server Pack. This does not install the feature. Could someone give information on how I can install email/mail service or function to use with my domain name on Windows 7 Professional SP1? Thank you.

  This problem does not occur on my installation local jdeveloper (12.1.3)

  Deploy the application to a 12 c Enterprise development environment manager, and there is only one target server.

  Have you checked that the target server has the right adf 12.1.3 installed on?

  The error normally means that the runtime is missing.

• Maximum RAM in the physical server

  Hello

  I hope someone can clear this up for me.  I have a server with 64 GB of RAM installed and I try to apply the license key I have, and I get an error regarding them that there is too much installed memory.  It has confused me a bit because I saw the various figures memory max flow in the documentation.  I am just wondering if 64 GB in the host server is too and I take some?

  Thank you

  D

  Welcome to the community,

  sounds as if you try to enter a license key for the free hypervisor! It is the only version that limits the physical memory to 32 GB.

• 2 guests on 1 physical server (running ESXi 5.5)?

  Hi, first of all... I'm new to VMware, I have 1 server Dell PowerEdge R420 in my new company that is used for virtual machines (running ESXi 5.5)... and I've been through, there 2 hosts running in 2 IP ranges, each host contains a few virtual machines... is it possible to have 2 guests on 1 Physical (ESXi) or am I wrong somewhere ?

  A nice man, it's what I told you about my last post, which should be another host in a remote area.

  Don't worry the confusion and do not forget to assign points for correct or helpful answers.

• What to do when the physical server fails?

  We have VI3 Foundation edition (no VMotion) with three blades servers configured as host servers. Each host has so far about 5 VMs. All showed up at a SAN iSCSI with each host stressed it's own logic on the SAN unit number.

  I was wondering what to do, if anything, to prepare for a physical to die servers. Since we are on the shared storage, we would still be able to see the dead guests vmdk VM and other files, correct? Or the separate LUN will avoid this? Now we see them through the VMware Infrastructure Client but dead servers VMs will always show upward after that he died?

  If you can see the vmdk files and other files of the virtual machine, we can re - create a virtual machine of those afterwards or is there something we need to do now before the failure of a server?

  Thank you.

  If that fails, you can present the LUNS to a different host and

  register these virtual machines on this host (from cli or Datastore browser). Then start the machines virtual and if all goes well they all come back to the top. It would be a

  bit more complicated, but that's all.

• Get 32 VCPU in VMware, there are 2 8 on the physical server processor cores.

  Hello

  I have 2 physical CPU with 8 cores and I am 32 virtual CPU in VMware. Can do anything please help me find the reason.

  Thank you

  Aditya

  It's because your physical processors have Hyperthreading enabled on them. 1 physical core of the processor will appear as 2 virtual cores (1 physical CPU with 8 physical cores = 16 virtual processors in VMware, physical CPU 2 x = 32 virtual CPUs). Hyperthreading is enabled by default on all new processors and is put at the disposal of the ESXi host without the need to make changes.

• Best practices for p2v - when to stop the physical machine?

  After you perform a p2v conversion, when should I stop the physical machine? By default, the virtual machine is turned off after the conversion and characterized by a DHCP address and not the static address that was on the physical machine... Why is this? Not the virtual machine is a duplicate... maybe it's a setting I'm missing the conversion.

  Looking for a better practice for the p2v conversion process.

  Using Virtual Center 2.5 and the converter built-in.

  Thank you, Rick

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  I tend to do the conversion and to choose to not to turn on the virtual machine later.  Once the conversion is completed, I make changes on the hardware as needed and then make sure that "Connect at Power On" is not checked in the device status of the NICs.  Now you can power up to the virtual machine and do what you need to do to prepare (uninstall the old software, change HALs, etc.) without fear of being on the network with the same name or IP address.  Once everything is good in Event Viewer, Device Manager, etc. - I shut down the physical server and then turn on the virtual machine with a "wired" network adapter to test.

  Another option would be to use the "Customize the identity of the virtual machine" option towards the end of the wizard import, if you need to be able to have the physical server and the virtual machine on the network at the same time.  This customization will give you virtual machine, a new name server and SID, and then you could just set it to a different IP address.

  Good luck!
