• How will I know ESXi installed on the local hard drive or usb or SAN?

  Hi all

  Here, I have IBM Storage node flex and midsize, this storewize is divided in two. I want to know where my esxi os installed? all orders to find?

  Hello

  So you can run esxcfg-info-e and you will get your startup BACK type, it will be either visor-thin (means ESXi installable, means in general you are installed on the local disk or SAN), visor-usb (ESXi embedded, usually means you are installed on USB or SD or visor-pxe to PXE deployment.)

  If you want to go further, you can run ls-lisa/dev/discs and you should be able to identify your device initialization as one with a load of partitions, as the vm1.0000xxxx entries in the result below:

  ~ # ls-lisa/dev/discs

  If in case of doubt, you can use partedUtil to check, enter the ID and plug into partedUtil, as follows: partedUtil getptbl /dev/disks/vml.0000000000766d68626133323a303a30

  If it is your boot device, you should see your systemPartition and all your Partitions ESXi...

  ~ # partedUtil getptbl /dev/disks/vml.0000000000766d68626133323a303a30

  To further clarify, go back to your ls-lisa/dev/discs out and now you know that you have the right device, enter the path to your drive ID, in this case, mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0, then run esxcli nmp storage devices list | grep mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0

  and you will get your device nickname, so:

  
  

  ~ # esxcli list of nmp storage device | grep mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0

  MPX.vmhba32:C0:t0:l0

  Device display name: USB Direct - access Local (mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0)

  Hope this helps, this should be good for ESXi 5.x and above all, I believe, something you might need to sub partedUtil for fdisk.

  Good luck!

• How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

  I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

  Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

• I have to make a new hard drive for my Toshiba laptop, how do I get my current operating system (Vista) on the new hard drive?

  I already have Vista running. Last week I had to run the recovery disc that came with my laptop, now I am hearing cracking and screetching coming from the hard drive and it does not start. I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

  My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  Probably you need to use the product key on your computer to activate Windows.

• How would I know if FinSpy has been installed to the rightful place of Firefox?

  Just read a news article on being deceived users by installing the FinSpy (Finfisher?)

  I have reason to believe that my employer mave have installed some sort of spyware on my blackberry 8530 curve. The phone was in my possession when the Manager was talkling to me. After about 3 minutes my phone buzzed (I continue to vibrate). Then, he looked at his phone and apologized.

  Yes. However, if your device has a password set on it with the guest of the password to the application installation option you would not worry.

  Even she did it install an app on your device, you would be able to see it in the list of applications installed under Options > Applications.

• How will I know if I have already installed (registered) RDIMMS or DIMM (unregistered) (Mac Pro 2010 mid year Quad)

  I have a Quad core Mac Pro Mid 2010. The article says do not mix of registrants with unsaved. So, how can I know that I have already installed? The system report said just - 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, nothing else.

  Frank Fitzpatrick

  For the mac Pro 2010, is the question, what SIZE is each DIMM?

  0.5 GB, 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB are all unregistered in any case.

  8 GB could go either way - old those who could be saved, is not the ones you bought in recent years.

  16 GB and 32 GB are still recorded.

  * Original title: windows 7 download

  I have a laptop dell M4400 with windows 7 pro OA. HARD drive crashed and I replaced with a new one. How to put Windows 7 on the new hard drive without boot cd? How will I know if 32 or 64 bits? This computer yourself running windows 10?

  It has probably comes with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  You can download a copy of Windows 7 Professional using the following instructions (update of Microsoft recovery software supports downloads with the COA key):

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  You can also use Windows 10 too as you have the right to it as a free upgrade:

  • How to download official Windows 10 ISO files
  • How to: perform a clean installation of Windows 10
  • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
  • Reboot several times, and then try again.
  • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
  • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
  • Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
  • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
  • If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
  • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
  • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
  • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).

  I just want to know how it happened to one of our producer/Editor. It is his story. "She hung the three hard drives to 9 from FCP, has opened the program from Premiere Pro and created a new project file. Then she dragged the files, .mxf per season per show in the Premiere Pro project file. To organize additional files in labels and others per show per season, she decided to redo the project file. She highlighted the files on the window of Premiere Pro and click on delete. She then tried to repeat the move but this time, the program could not read the file type extension. One of our Publisher checked raw materials of the external hds but unfortunately the files is no longer there. Our question is how it happened because according to her, there is no prompt that it will be deleted in the external source files. Please help so that we can avoid it in the future. Hoipng for your immediate response. Thank you

  First does not remove the files. The option to delete files from the hard drive only appears when you perform offline files in the first project window.

  The editor is sure that she has deleted the files in the window of Premiere project and not on the hard drive itself?

  >>

  Better is not not to drag but to import or to ingest via Media Browser in the first.

  I'm guessing she files deleted from the hard drive.

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• How to hide files in the Local C drive?

  I opened the local C drive and clicked on the file of Windows. I then clicked to view the files and now do not know how to hide them again!
  Stupid probably and perhaps siple to sort - but I don't know how and I don't want to delete anything in the folder by mistake.

  Open Windows Explorer. Click Tools > folder options > view > hidden files and folders.
  It use option Show hidden files and folders.

  That s it!

• How to install the second hard drive in the Satellite A200-1 of body weight?

  I see my new Satellite A200-1 of body weight has two hard drive bays, the research in the second span, I don't see how a second drive can be mounted as the plug into the Jack seems to be missing.

  What parts do I have to mount to place a second drive that they are held in stock by out of the local computer and are quite cheap, can someone advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.

  But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.
