• Move a virtual machine from one host to another without vCenter Server

  Hi all

  Something's been recently who raised the question on moving a virtual machine between hosts without vCenter.  I am running vSphere manage 3 blades in a c3000.  I have a shared storage iSCSI blade which all the blades connect to.  All of my virtual machines are in the same data store on the shared storage.  I'm also under vCenter Server as a virtual machine on one of the blades.  The blade that hosts the vCenter Server VM dead recently. What I was hoping to do is use vSphere Client to connect directly to one of the other blades and hover over the vCenter Server VM to one of the blades of the good, but I can't find a way to do this.  Using the browser of data store and see all of the virtual machine on the store of data without problem, but I see no way to migrate the virtual machine without vCenter server.  In the end, the blade has only had a problem of memory I corrected and managed to raise the blade but I now think of the future.  I use only Essentials, so I don't have access to vMotion and Storage vMotion.  I know that running vCenter Server is supported by Vmware, but I wonder if it's the best practices.

  Any thoughts?

  Hi, I assume that you get this error because the machine is running, try to connect directly to the host and do the same with an engine off the machine.

• How to remove a logical Partition without disturbing the other

  Hello, I recently ran into some trouble.

  As you can see from the picture, there are little free space next to the D: (10.55 GB) drive. I want to merge the free space with the 5 GB unallocated space and want to create a primary partition to install another version of windows. The problem is that when I right click the free space, the partition option delete is gray. I discovered that to delete the D: drive to get space but I can't do that. Even my backup drive is full.

  So, how do to remove free space without disturbing D: drive

  

  You can merge only the free and not allocated using a third-party partitioning tool and not the built in tool of victory.

  It's free http://www.easeus.com/partition-manager/epm-free.html

  If you add another partition to base all existing partitions will be converted to dynamic, the recovery partition to the then will no longer work

• How to remove a Mail plugin without having to open the mail

  I use a particular mail plugin that has been very helpful so far upward. However this plugin has just been updated so that the Mail does not open and I get the error message refers to a problem with the HockeySDK I see that has just installed this plugin. I am waiting to hear the developer about it, but in the meantime I can't use the Mail on my Mac. Because I can not open the Mail I can't delete the whole plugin in the normal way. Is there another way I can remove this plugin in the meantime, until this problem is solved?

  Hello, RobbieSnr!

  Thank you for using communities of support from Apple!  I see you are having some problems with third party plug-ins that you use with your Mail from Mac app.  I know how it is important to be able to use your communication by e-mail, I'd be happy to help you to get this working again!

  Because I don't know anything about this point the plug-in you use, it is difficult for me to tell you how to uninstall.  I had an idea to get your e-mail application to open, however!  First of all, make sure that you have completely left the Mail (no point below on the platform) app.  Then, hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard and then as you are now, click on the Mail app icon to open it.  Now keep Shift during the charge of the Mail application.  The app needs to stay open for you, then you can remove your plug-in in the usual way you mentioned.

  You can find more information on this feature in the section called "when you open and exit an application" in this paper: automatically re - open windows, applications and documents on your Mac

  Amar,

  I'm a bit confused with your logic here...

  But if you try to delete the row by clicking the button Delete you can set the immediate property to true, this function of deletion will take place without performing any validation of the entity...

• How to remove a basedOn style without losing the bet in shape

  I have a problem that I solved in my case, but I wonder if there is a cleaner solution. I have a function that removes the basedOn of a paragraph style or a character style that is passed. I thought that it worked, but it came to my attention that the character styles were losing their formatting when their basedOn style has been deleted (in fact, the value '[No Style character]'). Set the style basedOn the "[None]" style has the same effect. I also tried to create a dummy no style and use it as my base, same effect. When you do this through InDesign UI, the formatting is preserved, so I think it's a bug. My solution has been to create a new character style, all properties of the first style (except basedOn and properties) copy on it, delete the original style (replace with the new style), and then rename the new style to match the old. Far as I can tell it works, but it seems exaggerated. Does anyone have a better suggestion or hint?

  Here is the code that causes the problem:

  function unBaseStyle(funcSty){
      //Current style name.
      var myStyName = funcSty.name;
      //If the style is surrounded in brackets it is a default InDesign style and should not be unbased. In that case, skips to next style.
      if (myStyName.lastIndexOf("[", 0)  != -1) {return false;}
      else{
          var myBaseStyName = funcSty.basedOn.name;
          //Checks that the base style isn't undefined (which would indicate that it is already [No ... Style] and also that it isn't bracketed.
          if (myBaseStyName == undefined || myBaseStyName.lastIndexOf("[", 0)  != -1) {return false;}
          else{
              //If the style is a paragraph style, bases it on [No Paragraph Style].
              if (funcSty instanceof ParagraphStyle){funcSty.basedOn = "[No Paragraph Style]";}
              //If the style is a character style, bases it on [No Character Style].
  //--->This is the line that causes the problem. funcDoc.characterStyles("None") has the same effect.
              else{funcSty.basedOn = "[No Character Style]";}
              return true;
          }
      }
  }
  

  Here is my code to work:

  function unBaseStyle(funcDoc, funcSty){
      //Current style name.
      var myStyName = funcSty.name;
      //If the style is surrounded in brackets it is a default InDesign style and should not be unbased. In that case, skips to next style.
      if (myStyName.lastIndexOf("[", 0)  != -1) {return false;}
      else{
          var myBaseStyName = funcSty.basedOn.name;
          //Checks that the base style isn't undefined (which would indicate that it is already [No ... Style] and also that it isn't bracketed.
          if (myBaseStyName == undefined || myBaseStyName.lastIndexOf("[", 0)  != -1) {return false;}
          else{
              //If the style is a paragraph style, bases it on [No Paragraph Style].
              if (funcSty instanceof ParagraphStyle){funcSty.basedOn = "[No Paragraph Style]";}
              //If the style is a character style, bases it on [No Character Style].
                  else{
                      var funcStyName = funcSty.name;
                      var newSty = funcDoc.characterStyles.add(funcStyName + " basedOnCopy");
                      var p
                      for (p in funcSty){
                          if (funcSty.hasOwnProperty(p) && p != "basedOn" && p != "properties"){
  //-->This copies over the properties; wrapped in try/catch because some properties are read-only.
                              try{newSty[p] = funcSty[p];}catch(e){}}
                      }
                      funcSty.remove(newSty);
                      newSty.name = funcStyName;
              return true;
          }
      }
  }
  

  Am I missing something or is my solution more or less the way forward?

  Hi cchimi,

  Easily check if a style property is inherited is a question open for me

  Perhaps our fellow Scripting Guys have some ideas on this point.

  In regards to your routine of rewriting from scratch , a better approach (although not fully tested) may be:

  function unBaseStyle(/*ParagraphStyle|CharacterStyle*/sty)
  {
      var o = sty.properties;
      if( !o.hasOwnProperty('basedOn') || 0 <= o.name.indexOf('[') ) return;
      o.basedOn = "$ID/None";
      sty.properties = o;
  }

• Remove host vCenter (cluster)

  I need to remove hosts in cluster 1 vCenter inventory (completely / permanently), then add them to the inventory of an another vCenter.  It is for reasons of SRM-prep (fyi as to why I'm doing this in the first place).

  Is it possible (in charge) to Remove a host cluster (and its virtual machines) among a vCenter inventory given WITHOUT putting it in Maintenance Mode first, then withdrawal?  Reasoning is that the cluster in question has only 2 hosts and I don't want to host rest having to run all the virtual machines (or I want to stop the virtual machines).

  In the end, I need a way to REMOVE (from first vCenter) 2 hosts in cluster, so they will be briefly/temporarily independent/no managed until you add the second vCenter.

  Wait - I just thought to / tested something that seems to do the trick (?) --

  ' 1. ' disconnect ' the first vCenter host cluster.
  2. once in a disconnected state, right-click and 'delete '.  This frees licenses, etc. and basically makes the host "unmanaged" until added to vCenter another yet, but retains all of its VMS running etc and has no ill side effects-, or so it seems.

  If the "Disconnect" approach is real/valid, this goes against my training/point of 'classic' view that a host given-in order to be removed from a cluster or even more, vCenter himself-MUST be put in first to leave maintenance mode.

  Thoughts/confirmation/warnings?

  the disconnection and removal works perfectly.  The virtual machine will continue to function.  Once independent, "add host" in your new environment.

• Ripping a 4.1 host in a new 5.5 Cluster WITHOUT access 4.1 vCenter Server

  I have a client who has his 2 4.1 vSphere hosts in a cluster of vCenter 4.1 which is NOT under its control or access. vCenter server access is with a 3rd party that he is nervous on his account supported by a new provider. I'm looking for the safest method (preferable without interruption) to import these 2 hosts into a whole new vSphere 5.5 cluster with 2 new hosts and vCenter 5.5 server. He has access to individual hosts via the vSphere Client as well as its local based NAS storage where the virtual machine of the resident. The end result is vMotion and Storage vMotion, virtual machine on the new guests and new storage without interruption then remove the old hosts.

  This is possible without any downtime of the virtual machine. However, as you deploy new fresh vCenter again, you will need to reconfigure settings HA/DRS. Also, since you have no control over the old vCenter, given old vCenter performance you can't as well. If you don't care about performance data, you're good to go.

  Here's how you can make this migration:

  1. deploy the new vCenter: for your condition: vCenter device will work just fine: reference:http://www.virten.net/2013/09/vmware-vcenter-server-appliance-5-5-vcsa-limitations/

  2. create the cluster on new vCenter, set up the same.  first add your new ESXi 5.5 clustered host. Make sure that the shared on the old host ESXi storage is visible on the new host as well. If it is not possible, you can run without shared as well storage vMotion. Reference:VMware vSphere 5.1

  3. now you can add your old webhost to the new cluster, make sure that vMotion requirement are already configured:

  Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

  4. Add your old host to new cluster. Once you add these ESXi host in new vCenter, both will be disconnected automatically old vCenter. If your host processors are different, you must enable EVC: make sure you understand impact of the VCA, the same configuration.

  Reference: VMware vSphere 5.1

  VMware KB: Enhanced vMotion compatibility (EVC) support processor

  VMware KB: EVC and CPU compatibility FAQ

  VMware KB: Activation CVS on a cluster when vCenter Server is running in a virtual machine

  5. you can migrate your old Web host VMs to new host, once the migration is complete, you can keep your old Web host in maintenance mode and remove the same.
