How to manage the SAN relating to software, when we import machine which is connected to FC SAN?

Hello

There is a Windows Server 2003 running SQL Server with 2 local HD and 1 HD on FC SAN.  We would like to import this machine to a virtual machine.

(1) initially, we would like to convert by cold cloning, but it seems that it is not a good choice, because we are not able to access the SAN for cold cloning.  This means that the hot cloning is the only choice for us?

(2) there are programs like: Qlogic SANSurfer / Navisphere Agents / EMC PowerPath installed on this machine.  What will be the best way to manage these software?  Since we don't use them in VM, should remove the virtual computer or disable these services during P2V?

(3) is there a problem when you import data / change the size of the disk for the one on FC SAN?

Your opinion is requested.

If we opt for cold cloning, this means that after P2V, we

(1) remove the LUN from the physical machine in Navisphere Manager

(2) add the logic unit number to the host ESX Cluster

(3) add as RDM LUN to the virtual machine?

Right.

Between 2 and 3, you must make a new analysis of storage to see the new LUNS.

    After you have moved the virtual computer to another stage, chose the thin disk bad. Now, the virtual machine cannot start. the error message says that it must be thick for clustering. So, I need to change it back if possible. Then I moved it back and thick chosed. But, after that, I got a same error. So, after you move, the atatuse disk was not be changed. Is it a way not both directions? How can change the staus thin to thick?

    Hello George,.

    You can also convert virtual disks in eagerzeroedthick from the command line.

    vmkfstools-j VMname.vmdk allows to convert a thin disk in eagerzeroedthick

    vmkfstools k VMname.vmdk that will do it on a thick disk

    It can also work for a thin disk, click with the right button on the vmdk in browser data store, and then click 'inflate '.

  • How to manage the menu that is displayed when I right click and select "Edit In"?

    Currently, I have 17 programs/apps/plugins that appear in this menu.  I'll have to reinstall an earlier version of a program that I use a lot (OnOne) and which will add another items half a dozen to the list.  I only need one or two of the applications in the suite.  And then, I would add that another sequel, "Topaz" apps and which will still add to the confusion.

    All these 3rd party applications are connected to Lightroom via Plugins, but many of them do not appear in the list in the plugin Manager.

    Is it possible to manage this menu from Lightroom?

  • How to manage the padding issue & bytes - ordering when you change the resource (PiPL) file in windows?

    Hi all

    I just started programming sdk photoshop. I noticed that the resources provided by Adobe Guide recommends to develop dialogs using Mac ground language and converting it into window using the CNVTPIPL resource file. EXE. If you use a windows resource editor, padding and byte-ordered issue must be handled by the programmer himself. Since I'm not sure what is the architectural differences between a PC and a Mac, can someone explain to me exactly how padding and byte-ording problems are handled under the windows resource editor? It would be good if there is no concrete example.

    Thanks for any help!

    You really shouldn't edit resources directly if you can avoid it.

    Simply modify the .rc files or Betty and recompile.

    Macintosh, used to use the big-endian byte order, but didn't for several years because they switched to Intel processors.

  • How to manage the photos Lightroom when using 2 computers, keeping any changes made on one or the other?

    Based on http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1308132?TSTART=0 I decided to add each question separately:

    Hello, I am very interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC that was missing today. Yet, I have several questions that I can't find really good conclusive answers, I'd like to get an answer before buying LR. Please do not write maybe like this or that (assumptions), because I don't want to start my entire workflow and then realize that I have to change all around, please reply, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using this method too.

    Is the big question, where I want to especially a conclusive answer:  How to manage the photos Lightroom when using 2 computers, keeping all the changes made on one of them, using the same photos for editing. I'm not going to use DNG. Details: I mainly use my old MacBook Pro, but I wish I could use my PC as it is much better (card: i5 2500K, 16 GB of RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HD that I could use, one for backup and one for the actual Photos/changes. I you will probably need to use as my internal HDs are fairly complete and I cannot be the kind of things simply delete or move to one (developer, without loss of music, programs etc.).

    On this basis, how do I save all such Photos folder (pictures and retouching and preferably presets too)?

    According to me, that it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to create a link to the files each time, or without having to keep export/import of the catalog, keeping the single catalog and the picture library on an external drive that is then switched between systems as needed.

    Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in a way (for example, FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalogue AND folder parent si le catalogue ET le dossier parent images are both set to the same level in a global parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of ability of Lightroom to use relative paths instead of absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the player is named (Mac) or lettering (PC). This is how "export as catalog of ' works, that is, it creates a 'package', alias a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the folder hierarchy to exported along with the catalog images. Take this 'package' to another system (same OS or not) and "it works" even if the drive letter is different or the operating system is different... because the relative path of the image catalogue is always the same.

    I have not tested this cross-platform (if I have between various PC systems with letters of different readers) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

    Hello J,

    in the example given here , it looks like a format simple bytestream...

    You must read the byte stream, get the first and the second byte to decode the data type and length and then read & catalogued according to number of bytes. And then read 2 bytes and so on...

    If you haven't done so already, take a look at the action of com.vmware.libarary.soap.processOutParameters.  It is the action that generated the log you have placed in us.  It generates an object Properties (key, value pairs) with the value for each setting that results.

    In your case, assuming that 'outProps' is the result of the above, you can use:

    var getRequestStatusResult = outProps.get ("GetRequestStatusResult");

  • How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab? Why have I not of "buttons" to pin a top site of the page tab?

    When I open a new tab, NO best sites don't show up... shows just a search engine box. I have Firefox 33.0. Why is there no 'pin' button when I opened a new page? How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab?

    Here is some additional information on the configuration of the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons > in the left column click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?
