• How to make an ESXi backup on USB?

  I have a few servers ESXi 4.1 on USB keys. Now I wonder how can I save the config ESXi and USB itself, in which case the USB will be dead or damaged? One of the USB key on a single server is already showing the signs to go to rest forever, and I would like to have a backup of it. Is there a tool I can use to create a backup on another USB key?

  Thanks, I was looking for some kind of script. And the backup process itself is ok, but the restore configuration procedure needs to be alive and running of the ESXi host. So in case of emergency (USB key works do not), what would be the correct procedure to restore the server without hollow is a complete reinstallation of ESXi and reload the config with vicfg-cfgbackup?

  Well, everything depends on how many ESXi servers you have.

  If you have small env is not worth to spend a lot of time for preparation of extra super recovery too. I don't know anyone who supports up that ESX or ESXi breaks.

  For small env:

  1. PowerCLI script -you can create the script CLI power for each of your guests with specific parameters

  http://communities.VMware.com/community/VMTN/Server/vSphere/automationtools/PowerCLI

  Catering requirements:

  ESXi server must be running in - running

  restore procedure

  manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation, run a script (2 minutes) against the new server and DONE

  2. with the help of vMA

  Create a bash script that would back up ESXi firmware, set it on a weekly basis in crone (on the server of the vMA)

  Restore requirements

  ESXi server must be running

  ESXi must be on that same level as if it were before the construction accident

  restore procedure

  manual installation of ESXi (15 minutes), after installation restore a Firmware using the new server and DONE

• How can I create a bootable USB of OSX Snow Leopard on a MacBook with El Capitan?

  HI there, the hard drive failed on my MacBook unibody aluminum end 2008. a couple of years ago, I put in 8 GB of RAM so my thought has been that it is not yet time to entirely replace the MacBook. I replaced the drive HARD failed with a 500 GB compatible hard drive. I tried and failed to install El Calitan via a bootable USB key, because my machine is too old.

I am able to create a Version bootable USB of Snow Leopard on MacBook for my roommate? He is running to El Capitan. Could someone explain if this is possible and if so, how?

  Thanks in advance!

• How can I create a USB Virtual COM Port

  Windows XP Professional / SP3 / 2002 Version

  How do I create a virtual COM Port to USB, so I can run software applications of a Bus USB flash Drive?
  The reason why I am eager to do it, is because I use an audio sequencer and it requires 1 GB of free disk space and at least 1 GB of RAM is recommended. My machine has 0.5 GB of RAM and a total of 6.55 GB of FREE space. My machine has a 256 MB RAM module and I bought another 256 MB RAM module. The manufacturer said that 512 MB of RAM is the maximum that can have my camera.
  My goal is to buy a 4 GB Flash drive and use it to add RAM on my machine. I am also wanting to be able to run software applications that are installed in the USB Flash drive.
  My basic goal is to install the DAW in the USB Flash drive and work with the program that is in the USB Flash drive, and I hope that will release of enough memory on my laptop.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you cannot use a USB flash as a substitute for the RAM drive.

• How can I create nested VMware ESXi in vCloud 5.5

  Hello

  I how can I create a VM ESXi nested within vCloud 5.5.

  I followed the instructions below, but it does not appear as an OS selected in the database, it creates only an option, but the drop-down list displays the 'other' os.

  http://basraayman.com/2012/03/01/enabling-nested-64-bit-virtual-hosts-on-vCloud-Director-1-5-using-MSSQL/

  Kind regards!

  I just stumbled upon this problem sort of.  I had it working in 5.1 vcloud, but upgrading to vcloud 5.5 caused all sorts of havoc.

  Looks like vCloud 5.5 added a drop down for the esx hosts in the family of the 'other', but it does not appear when you create a virtual machine, you must create it with some other reviews and then change the properties of the vm created for select esx guest.

  If you have added the SQL statements from this link, it will completely break vCloud because there will be two entries in the database for esx and he complain of a unique key.  You must change the database and remove what you added in the link above.  The tables are guest_os_type and guest_osfamily.

  Good luck!

• HP Envy Spectrea XT (13-2000eg: failed to create the aUEFI recovery USB HP Envy spectrum XT (13-2000eg) as key to retrieve the firmware)

  Hello

  After that I reinstalled Windows 10 from scratch, I tried to reinstall some of the previous tools HP from my backup in c:\SWSetup. Something failed there and window 10 frozen.

  After a forced via the power button, the ultrabook no longer starts. Instead the Shiftlock LED ist blinking 2 times + pause (the BIOS is broken, at least another document indicates... why?).

  The UEFI boot loader seems to be ok, at least after the reset, a USBSTick is accessible before the led starts to Flash.

  So my simple question is: How can not create a USB key UEFI firmware recovery?

  The available sp66771.exe file DOES not work or offers an option to create a USB key, which can be used with WIndows + B on poweron reflash a UEFI working image.

  Also, any other documentation that I found for HP and Insyde UEFI products did not work at all.

  Where can such a recovery USB key now?

  What keys are used on the desire to trigger the usbrecovery?

  Concerning

  Carsten

  After losing hours (!) talk to take in charge the people at HP, hours of navigation Reiver on the HP site, I finally found the solution:

  3-in-1-USB-recovery-key

  It's an HP internal tools. Less than 10 min, I downloaded and installed the tool to a USB key.

  After plugin stick to the ultrabook, by pressing power - we + ESC UEFI firmware was flashed automatically to the latest version. After<3min the="" ultrabook="" was="" up="" an="" running="">

  Would it not useful, if supporters want to know this internal tool from HP, rather than trying to sell me the new HW or propose costly repairs (propbaly to promote the sale of new HW)?

  So while the HW and associated tools seems to be pretty mich ok, support and information on the forum needs a lot of improvement.

• How can I save items on a USB key with Vista?

  How can I save items on a USB key with Vista

  Plug the Flash drive.  Go to start / computer and find your USB drive listed there.  Find what you want to record on the FlashDrive (from other units identified in Explorer) and copy / them (CTRL + C) and then go to your USB key and click it to open it and press Ctrl + V to paste the files.  That's all there is to it.  You can create folders to store files, like flash drives have limits on the number of files can be stored in the root directory (but not folders).

  I hope this helps.
