How to create the shared disk between 2 ESXi servers

Hello

I created a laboratory with ESXi4.1 and ESXi5.0 machines with a few virtual machines on them on my laptop using vmware workstation 7. Now, I'm trying to add a disk to the two virtual esx hosts so that I can create a store of data through them to do some testing from day to day, but so far I managed to do it. I'm afraid of how would I have accomplished my test laboratory. Can someone help me on this please. Thank you.

Kind regards

You cannot use just a shared between two virtual hosts of ESXi, but put up some "fake" your iSCSI storage, shared disk which could be executed in another VM on your VMware workstation. Here is a guide how to set this using the free Openfiler: http://rickardnobel.se/archives/26

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
    I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
    The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

    I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
    There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

  • How to create the shared library for linux real-time target in labVIEW Windows?

    I use myRIO running linux in real time. In my project, I need to pack some C code, so I tried the node library function call.

    I know that I should use the tools compile cross - compile linux on Eclipse to compile c code in linux .so library. But the problem is that call library function node does not recognize the .so file because my labVIEW runs on a Windows PC.

    What should I do to fix and how to combine C code with labVIEW during programming for devices shipped as myRIO?

    Basically, you must also create a Windows DLL that exports the same functions. These functions can be empty stubs if you do not want to run the code correctly on Windows, otherwise you will need to consider how to implement the equivalent functionality on the Windows API.

    Then you can write in your node library call as the name of the library ". "*" and the name of the shared library Windows ".dll" while the Linux version is called "name of your library > .so". LabVIEW will replace the * after the comma in the name of library with everything that is the preferred extension shared library for the platform it is running on and therefore load the right shared library.

    Alternatively you can wrap call all the nodes of the library in a structure that contains the node library in the case of Linux RT and all what you want to run on other platforms in the case of default or a case of specific platform, call the conditional compilation.

    The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)

    I posted earlier on my laptop freezing and respondent very late in command. I decided to create a recovery disk but have resulted in this issue.

    Concerning

    I suspect that the operating system on your laptop is probably not an OEM copy because of which the Recovery Manager is not available

    FYI, if the Recovery Manager was available, you can restore (restore your laptop back to the factory State) without the need to create recovery discs. The D:\ disc that is the recovery partition that would help you to do on your laptop.

    Try these steps and see if it works.

    1. click on Start button and type "devmgmt.msc" without the quotes and press ENTER key

    2. right click on the drive D:\ - HP Recovery partition and select Mark Partition Active.

    3. what would give you an alert/prompt, where you must choose Yes brings you to the Recovery Manager screen and restart your computer. You can follow the link that I provided above to start the process of recovery on your laptop.

    Note:

    Please backup your files before recovering on the laptop that it would result in the loss of data.

  • use a hard file as a shared disk between two vm

    Hi guys,.

    I wanted to know if there is a possible way to create a hard file as a shared disk between two virtual machines.

    That's my idea:

    I want to create a mscluster between two vm one before I need to a shared disk - I don't want to use the external storage, so I thought that maybe there is a way to use a file hard like a disk storage shared "external".

    Is it possible to do this? If there is, I enjoy an explanation how to do that.

  • How to create a shared library of Qt and use it on App without a head?

    Hi all

    I'm experimenting with some waterfalls headless basic application development, and I just hit another problem of blocking.

    I want to create a Qt library with some shared code between the head and user interface elements.

    That's what I did:

    1. created a new application without head the wizard project
    2. created a new library shared by using the wizard project. Adds a simple C++ (Qt not) class
    3. Set up the two parts of the Headless App to use the shared library ("Library in the workspace project" option from the "Add library...) (' Assistant).   Everything compiles and works very well so far.
    4. Now, I want to use the shared library Qt. I choose 'Library of the Standard BlackBerry platform' and ' platform > Qt Core "from the «add library...» "Wizard. Now, I had this error on the shared library project: C:\dev\bbndk\host_10_2_0_15\win32\x86\usr\bin\ntoarm-ld: could not find lQtCore.

    How to create a shared library of Qt and use it on App without a head?

    In fact, I would also use other NDK libraries on library shared as lbbdata and libbbdevice.

    I expect that workers would deal with all the problems for me. As an improvement, I suggest you add the selection screen platform library of the Wizard "Add library...". «the wizard «Shared Library Project»

  • new unseen files on the shared disk (rise of 2 VM Debian)

    Hello community,

    I'm quite new to VMware ESXi 3.5 and I can't find a solution for my environment, although I already read a lot of threads here and looked for other sources of help.

    I run 2 VMS Linux Debian and want to share my MP3 disc. The shared_mp3.vmdk was created with the 'thick' option and can be fixed on two VMS with success.

    If Debian VM #1 creates new files to the disc MP3, they are not visible to VM Debian #2.

    The only solution inside the VM Debian #2 is to umount SCSI 1:0, wait a few seconds and then raise it again. Of course, stop VM Debian #2 of the VI client and it starts again, makes the visible files, but both solutions are not a solution for this problem.

    Can anyone provide assistance?

    Do I need to install the software of protocoll sharing SCSI-2?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Here's my detailed environment:

    VMware ESXi 3.5 U4 with 2 VM Debian on the same physical host:

    VM Debian #1:

    'big' server that processes for example the new MP3 files and converts them to lower bit rates (e.g. for my iPod)

    Located within a green network behind a firewall with a write access to the MP3 disc.

    LSI Logic SCSI controller 0 with root disk (SCSI Bus sharing: None, debian1.vmdk located on the local storage as SCSI 0:0)

    LSI Logic SCSI 1 controller with MP3 disc (shared SCSI Bus: virtual, shared_mp3.vmdk is independent/persistent and located on local)

    storage as SCSI 1:0)

    (shared_mp3.vmdk has been created with the "thick" option)

    SCSI1.sharedBus = "virtual".

    Disk.Locking = "false".

    VM Debian #2:

    UPnP streaming server

    Located inside a red network with read access only on the MP3 disc. Debian Linux get the MP3 drive read-only.

    LSI Logic SCSI controller 0 with root disk (SCSI Bus sharing: None, debian2.vmdk located on the local storage as SCSI 0:0)

    LSI Logic SCSI 1 controller with MP3 disc (shared SCSI Bus: virtual, shared_mp3.vmdk is independent/persistent and located on local)

    storage as SCSI 1:0)

    SCSI1.sharedBus = "virtual".

    Disk.Locking = "false".

    iSCSI would push you in the same boat that the shared disk.  Two are block-level and will need you to have some sort of awareness of the bunch to them.  If you have only an ESXi host, you can create an internal network only for the two to speak to GFS or OCFS2 vm.  If you have more than one ESXI host, then you can consider a cross-over for both servers, or even a hub/switch only for the private network. You can run GFS on the same network as the usual traffic, it is not "necessary" to have a private network, comes to recommend, and it's only for server coummunication between them.  You need to open ports so that it goes to your vm.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.
