How to reformat vmfs with remote CLI?

I need to reformat my ESXi server to use a block of 4 MB (VMFS). Can anyone tell me the command to do this in the remote CLI?

If you need an example look at the previous comment.

Under Windows, the location of vmkfstools.pl is not available in the default path, you need to use the full path or the cd to C:\Program Files\VMware\...\perl (should be something like VI CLI, I have not installed so I don't know what is the file, but you should be able to determine the directory)

Update: Try here: C:\Program VMware VI Remote CLI\Perl

  • How to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to access Windows 8 PC on the Internet with remote desktop connection?

    I'm good with the software and I have used many Microsoft software since the 1980s. So I like Microsoft products, but since they have outsourced their tech support, you can't support quality even if you pay for it. I followed all the instructions in the Windows 8 will help about DRC setting screens, but I can't connect unless I'm on the same home network. Here are the details:

    I have a desktop PC with Windows 8 Pro and I have authorized the DRC. I tried two settings in system properties:

    1. Allow connections to this computer remotely.
    2. That allow the connection of computers running Office remotely with authentication NLA.

    I also turned on both private and Public Windows Firewall settings > allow an App or feature through Windows Firewall.

    I have installation then DRC to my laptop with Windows 8 (standard edition, not the Pro version). I have a DRC using the full name of the computer and other DRC using the static IP address for my ISP Desktop connection.

    I use the user account administrator Windows for connections of DRC of the laptop.

    I cannot get this to work on the Internet from a location outside my house with another ISP connection. The only way it works if I'm uncomfortable with the laptop using the same network home.

    I called Dell tech support and it is always useless and just a more aggravating waste of an hour to talk to their support of technique outsourced in India (who barely even understand English) and then they hang up the phone as it was supposed to be disconnected. I also called Microsoft support and lost more than an hour to speak to their outsourced tech support in the Philippines (and as support of the India, they hang up or 'disconnect' when they cannot answer your question and they go account learn you more about Windows while they do). U.S. tech companies use AMERICANS more for their technical support so their customers can get people who actually care about doing a good job and can actually understand English?

    So if someone who knows using Windows 8 for DRC on the Internet has some tips, then it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!!

    P.S. If anyone is offended by my comments about the ugly, incompetent, stupid providing "technical support" in India or the Philippines - Nevermind! You go ahead and waste hours of your time talking to some Morón in these countries, who barely understands English and then 'disconnects' the call when they know that you realize that they are clueless and have all the answers.

    Take a look at no - IP.com or dyndns.com, and then use your host.domain:3389 of no.-ip/dynDNS or run RelaVNc SErver that is running on port 5900 by default.  Server options allow you to change the port as well if necessary.

  • How to reformat Satellite C660?

    Hi all

    My C660 is just over a year & slowdown etc, I thought I'd reformat it with the 4 discs recovery I did when I got it, the problem is, for some time now, the cd/dvd drive does not start as soon as a disc is inserted, & I have to open it manually. In any case, I put the first disc of recovery in & as usual nothing happened, I'm going to 'My Computer' & open from there thinking it would start to do what its supposed to, he did nothing but open & view what's on the disc :-(

    How do I get it to work so I can go through the other 4 disks & redo my lappie like new?

    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu.
    When the boot menu appears on the display open optical drive and put the first disc inside.
    Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

    ODD will start to read the data stored on the disk and recovery facility should begin. It starts with the main menu.

    How it looks like you can see on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    Just follow the menu and proceed with the installation.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    Hi Gazza,

    To reformat your laptop, you must insert the recovery CD into your optical drive and restart the laptop computer while pressing the C"" key. This will cause your laptop boot from the recovery CD which will then launch the process of re - install.

    Note that this process will be completely reformat your laptop and go back to its original state with the loss complete of the any of your own data and programs not original. Please make sure that you have a backup of your data before doing this.

  • How to reformat the hard drive and do a "clean" install

    A recent virus attack, my computer has lost some files of the operating system.  With the help of the Lim has provided the recovery disk, which offered ' upgrade/repair' or a 'new installation '.  I chose ' install new ', actually I found many of my files are still there - that means that if a virus has escaped "Detection / removal" will always be there.

    Since you have a Dell and a recovery CD and not a recovery Partition, check how many partitions you need by using disk management:

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/disk_management.htm

    In case you have a partition with the operating system and a partition of the utility partition, I would only recommend formatting the partition from the OS. The Partition utility can be very useful.

  • Remote CLI for ESX4i?

    This is my first experience with 4i and am embarrassed to ask this question, but where of the remote CLI (Windows EXE) for ESX4i?  I can find version 3.5, but I can't locate it for vSphere / ESX4.

    I'm usually not this hard to find things, but whether he is pretty well hidden or I'm hacving a bad day.   Until I can find it I think I'll use the vMA.

    Thank you!

    No need to be embarrassed, that it is not always easy to find downloads for some of these tools.

    For vSphere CLI for Windows/Linux, you can download at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/ you also have the possibility to use the vMA as you mentioned to the: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vima/

  • How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    How do you communicate with the Apple Watch

    Hello!

    Welcome to the Apple community. I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "communicate" with the Apple Watch, so I'll give you a few options that can respond to your request.

    (1) the Apple Watch supports Siri, just like the iPhone and the Mac. To apply, simply say "Hey Siri" while the wrist is triggered, and your watch will respond. Alternatively, you can hold the digital Crown and Siri will be activated. As soon as Siri is activated, you can ask him questions such as "what is the weather today" or "reminder", or "Let's start a workout."

    (2) you can manually send SMS via your Apple Watch by use of Siri, or opening the messaging app. That Siri send your messages, just say 'Hey Siri, send a text < name >' and Siri will open the Messages app and wait to talk to you about your message. If you want to move the Messages app manually, press the digital Crown and will take you to the home screen. In the home screen, select the Messages app (a green icon with a word inside bubble). Any existing message log must appear, and you can type on a given message log and choose to respond.

    (3) If you want to place a phone call using your Apple Watch, you can say "Hey Siri, call < contact name >". If you have several numbers for a particular contact, Siri will ask you what number you want to call. You can also you can present a more specific request like 'Hey Siri, call < contact name >, < number >' with the number favorite is 'work' or 'House' or 'mobile' etc. So the demand go something like "Hey Siri, call Barbra, House".

    If you are still at a loss, with regard to the types of orders that Siri will accept, you can always ask. Say 'Hey Siri, what can you do?' and she will give you a list of commands that she will answer to the.

    If all goes well, I addressed your question. If not, please provide a little more information and I'll do what I can to help you.

    Good luck!
