How should I correctly call ESXi 4.1 variable kickstart in the firstboot % section?

I have adjustments with a new article that I added to a kickstart file.  The new article is supposed to retrieve the MAC address for vmnic0, then grep MAC address of a file to get the name of the server host and other IP addresses.

It defines the variable MAC address successfully, but other variables don't settle for some reason any.  This is verified by the /etc/variables.txt file I write values in.  The MAC address is in the file and followed by 4 carriage returns.

So why call the variables work in the section with the echo commands, but not when it is used by setting the variables?

Seems I have fixed my problem here.

A couple of notes:

First OFF... by setting my variables, I had a few redundant grep commands in there.  Was not cause anything to fail, but just make note.

Secondly, the section 'network - bootproto = dhcp - device = vmnic0 - addvmportgroup = 0' seems to have been the culprit.  I can't say exactly where it was originally my script to fail, but if you use DHCP, the server received different DNS servers that caused the script to fail.  I tried to use IP addresses instead of that in my line of wget, but it still fails.  The newspapers did not help to me clue as to why it is produced either.  Quite bizarre.

In any case, I decided to just change the line to use a "dummy" host name and IP address, then run a change of address and hostname IP later based on the txt file that lists the IP addresses.

  • How can I correct my address book so that it inserts the correct email address in the ' to: ' space?

    I can't locate the addresses in my address book because of a separate TBird problem which is apparently solved by technical experts, but I also have this AddressBook problem unrelated. When I start typing an e-mail address in the "to:" slot, Thunderbird end address since we can see it in the address book (but I don't). Then he words the address and insert it into the To: field. But, given that the address is blurred, it does not work. I have no idea that the address is blurred. It looks something like this when Thunderbird is done with it: "[email protected]@gmail.com."

    Removal and restoration of the profile makes no difference, as export/import of the contents of the address book as an .ldif file makes no difference. I asked this question before, but didn't get any help, so I try again.

  • How should I do when an e-mail account disappears in the left panel of the main interface (with another account on the right box)...

    Recently, I added two accounts in Thunderbird and everything seemed to go well. Today I used one of the new accounts and wanted to switch to my old account Edurostream. But he was not found. Are there new accounts and another former account. If I go on 'accounts' Edurostream is still there, but there is no way that I know to go from there to the Inbox for this account. There is no error message. I use the latest version of Thunderbird (24.6)

    I suppose that if I delete the Edurostream account, any mail downloaded from Edurostream will remain in the Inbox of the local folders.

    Yes. old messages will remain in the local folders that these files are on your computer.

  • How can I correct a problem accessing my firewall settings because the Group Policy client does not connect to windows?

    I have tried everything recently adjust the settings of the firewall from my window and a box appears saying that after an unidentified error, I can't access my firewall.

  • Automatically select the correct check box based on choices made in the previous section?

    With the help of LiveCycle to create a form that contains a table. This table has 3 columns with 15 boxes in each column.

    Here are these 15 rows 3 more boxes that have calculated values. In each row of the table one of the checkboxes can be active at a time.

    Based on the majority of choices in a column of some, the calculated corresponding checkbox must be verified. (If most of the choices are made in column 1, then the 1st calculated box must be marked, etc...)

    The sentence that I am writing the JavaScript code that selects the checkbox correctly calculated. Currently, I'm just trying to understand it with only 3 first lines and I can reproduce the template after.

    Table e.g.: ("BOLD" is calculated)

    CheckBox20CheckBox35CheckBox50
    CheckBox21CheckBox36CheckBox51
    CheckBox22CheckBox37CheckBox52
    [CheckBox66][CheckBox67]

    [CheckBox68]

    Here's the code I came up with that day, but it does not just anyone, although when I used it it worked just to 2 columns. (just added the part about the third column in the instructions 'or')

    (In the script for the calculation of box 66)

    //larger values than other columns
    if ((Row1.CheckBox20.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox21.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox22.rawValue == "") > (Row1.CheckBox35.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox36.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox37.rawValue == "") || (Row1.CheckBox50.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox51.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox52.rawValue == ""))
     {this.rawValue = "0";}
    
    //smaller values than other columns
    if ((Row1.CheckBox35.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox36.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox37.rawValue == "") || (Row1.CheckBox50.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox51.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox52.rawValue == "") > (Row1.CheckBox20.rawValue == "") + (Row2.CheckBox21.rawValue == "") + (Row3.CheckBox22.rawValue == ""))
     {this.rawValue = "1";}
    

    I'm new to JavaScript for all advice is appreciated.

    Looking at the conditions, it seems you are trying to say "If column 1 column 2 or column 3, then do something." JavaScript cannot read conditions like that. It's playback "if (column 1 column 2) GOLD (column 3), ' and he doesn't know what to do with this issue of column 3, except if it is 0 or 1.

    Here is an example of use of only two lines and three columns. The rawValues are 0 and 1 for each check box. I have it set so that if column 1 has several checkboxes, then Col1 gets checked. Similarly, the col2 or 3 boxes will be checked if their columns are the most populated. I don't get the opportunity to have several boxes marked if there are two columns that have the same number of boxes checked. (You can do this by just changing > to > = in the conditions.)

  • How to create impulses cause a pulse width Variable AND at the same time

    Hi all

    I have a NI PCI-6251 that comes with 2 counters, a FREQOUT port and then some DIO, DAC and ADC.  I want to trigger a pulse of variable width (easy to do with two counters) and a frequency closed, exit at the same time.  So, I want to end up with a line that will display TOP for some variable time, while the other exits a train of pulses for a time variable.  It is easy to do if you have 4 counters but I don't have one.  Does anyone have an idea to implement these two things AND making them trigger at the same time with the PCI-6251 card?

    The line is high for as long as your pulse train controlled?

    If so, set up the first counter as output pulse, configure the 2nd as output continuous meter but with the internal of the first counter output as its trigger to pause (pause when it is low).  Start the 2nd meter before the first.

    If not, you will need to use the digital output to replace at least one of the counters (max sampling rate is 10 MHz, so this would give less resolution compared to the time base of 80 MHz counters).  So you would simply write the waveform predetermined in the buffer and he clock at the desired rate and the number of samples to give the signal that you want.  You need to generate some other subsystem as FreqOut clock.

  • How to convert a string to a number Variable and store the decimal

    Hello!

    Here's my problem!

    I get information from a source that I can't control.  He sends me the number in to form chains.

    Ex: 12,200.49

    I tried usingval() but only get '12' because it stops when she sees a comma or a period.

    I also tried using Replace() to remove the comma and period, but then my increase, because the last two digits are now a part of the number and either behind a decimal point.

    Some examples of code

    < cfset price = "12,200.49" >

    < cfoutput >
    #val (Price) #.
    < cfset price = ' #Replace (Price, ",", "","ALL") # ">

    < BR / >
    #val (Price) #.
    < cfset price = "#Replace(Price,".","","ALL") #" >
    < BR / >
    #val (Price) #.

    < cfset price = #NumberFormat (Price, "_. _") # >
    < BR / >
    FINISHED WITH #Price #.

    < / cfoutput >

    The output of the code above is as follows:

    12
    12200
    1220049
    FINISHED WITH 1220049.00

    So, you can see that 12,200.49 is now 1,220,049.00 because the two numbers when added.

    What I would like to end by is a string '12,200.49' which is now a number like this $12 200,49

    Help, please!

    I want to make repeated calls to the reader in the AcqVoltageSamples_IntClkAnalogRef code sample.  A comment in the code says I can do simply by calling the reader. BeginReadMultiSample method of the callback function. I tried this without success using the same settings for the player. Is it possible for the callback function? If Yes, how should I call the reader? I'm programming in c#.

    Thank you

    Doug,

    No problem.  I found the class to which the timeout without much property in safely.  I now have a solution to repeated calls.  The two keys were the infinite time-out setting and the elimination of all the DAQmx objects in the finally section of the callback function before calling the AcquireData() method for the next cycle of reading and processing of data.  The user sets blQuit to false and call AcquireData() by clicking on the Start button.  Repeated calls are then made to 'automatically' until the user clicks the button exit.
