• Updates the performance of HP Array Configuration Utility in ESXI 5?

  Is that what someone has HP Array Configuration Utility to run on ESXI 5?   Of all the post, I see that it worked under ESX but not ESX (i).   This seems to be a footnote which was offered before. Have the Array Configuration Utility to expand the disk on the fly are necessary to our data center. Should we switch to ESX 4 on all hosts.

  Current situation:

  ESXI 5 servers now running many DL380 G5 with Array P400 controllers.

  VMware vSphere 5 and 5 Vcenter

  Thank you

  Hello

  I do not think that the vMW allows the ACU installation at all - how he would talk to the RAID card in local hardware store?

  The workaround is usually a design change. Your 'best practice' typical ESXi installation is performed in a sort of SAN, where such technology is irrelevant.

  Apart from this, you can always vMotion your virtual machines to another machine, then restart a host and boot from the Smartstart CD, where you can run the ACU.

  I certainly would not downgrade to ESX4 - it is like recommending a downgrade to Windows 2000 for the future.

• P1102w offline and can't find the html for OS x 10.9 configuration utility

  I installed the 1102 on my network, it was printing fine... it off for a few days. Now when I turn it on, the light blinks blue network, when I try and print it says 'the printer is not connected. If I look in system preferences, the printer shows a green light next to it.

  But I have no idea how to get to the online tool that allowed me to configure network settings and see if they have changed. There is no option on any screen taking me there. When I click on "Options and supplies" there is no button to take me to the HP configuration page, and I don't see any software on my computer to allow me to set it up.

  I just put a WPA password on the network, and I know what the question perhaps, but I still don't see how to get to the place where I set up the printer (was it a URL.. .but where he is hiding?)

  Hi @laurad1 ,

  By your post, I see that you cannot set up the printer again on the 10.9. I can help you today.

  Since you have changed the WPA password on the network, you will need to restore the default settings of the printer and set it up again on the network.

  Make sure that Safari is set as default browser. (sometimes the SAP will not open if it is not set by default)

  Open Safari, at the top, select the Safari menu, select Preferences, general, as a default value.

  Restore the settings of the default printer wireless.

  1. turn off the product.
  2. hold the wireless button and the Cancel button and then turn on the product.
  3 press and hold the buttons until the printer stops making noise, then release the buttons.

  Print a Page of Configuration to ensure that IPv4 and SSID are deleted from the old settings.

  Print a Configuration Page.

  Remove the printer in printers and Scanners. Plug the USB cable from the printer to the Mac, and add the printer again. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer. LaserJet P1102w. You may need to run the Apple updates.

  Here's a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w on Maverick wireless installation.

  LaserJet P1102w.

  You can follow the steps rather than watch the video if you want.

  Then go to the Apple, system preferences, printers and Scanners.

  Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.

  Then click Open Print Queue, click settings, click utility, click open printer utility, then click the button HTML Config.

  The integrated for the printer Web server opens.

  Click on the network tab, select Wireless on the left side.

  Fill in the information for your network. Make sure that the infrastructure is selected. Status: Make sure that you select enabled.

  Apply the settings.

  Then go back to the Apple preferences system, printers, and Scanners and click the + to add the Hello Laserjet Printer. (may take a few minutes to appear)

  Remove the USB printer in the list of printers and Scanners window.

  Disconnect the USB cable and try and print.

  If you need help, let me know.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• After installing a new HARD drive, I get a screen "control i to access the configuration utility.

  Help?

  I installed a new HARD drive on my xps 15 because the old drive crashed. Everything works fine and the system boots perfectly. Before entering the Dell splash screen, the screen "control i to access the configuration utility" appears for 5 seconds. After that, the normal boot sequence resumes. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening and what I can do about it?

  Here is a link to the screen I get started: http://s102.photobucket.com/user/alexcinie/media/photo_zpsb75f0a7f.jpg.html

  The mSATA drive is used as a cache for the hard drive dynamic - these are essentially implemented in a RAID 0 array.  See the link below (it is for Alienware, but applies to your system as well).

  If you want to keep the disk cache, you need to configure the array as shown.

• ISCSI performance with HP DL160 G6 and ESX 4.0

  I feel iSCSI performance with HP DL160 G6 and ESX 4.0 servers and would like to help with this.

  I have Setup iSCSI on 3 * ESX 4.0 host.

  Each have a corresponding single target and a single LUN on the SAN. The LUNS are formatted as fmfs3 types.

  Each host is connected to the QNAP San in the same way via a Gigabit switch.

  All NICs operate at 1 GB.

  To test the performance I use vmkfstools to clone a drive from the local store to the LUN

  On the first host (a DL140 G3) performance is good to 48 MB/s.

  On the 2 DL160 performance is very poor and barely reach 2 Mbps

  During cloning, DL160 servers save also on several occasions by the following in/var/log/wmkwarning:

• Question about Lab Manager and ESX Resource Pools

  Hello world

  I was wondering if I can get feedback from some of the members of the community.  We used Lab Manager very strongly in our support organizations and it has proved to be a valuable tool.  Recently, we collaborated with the Department of technical training and started hosting online seminars and classes for them using Lab Manager.  Last week we had a fairly large class of users (approx. 45), each duty deploy 2 rather Beefy VMs that were very intensive resources (Jboss, SQL, Mail to name a few).  My colleague and I went through a lot of trials and planning to ensure that our infrastructure can handle the load while allowing our users to date at the same speed and reliability, so that they are used.

  Our Lab Manager ESX server pools made up of the following:

  5 HP DL380 G5 servers with 2 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (8 cores each) with 32 GB of RAM each

  2 HP DL580 G5 servers with 4 x Quad Core 2.8 GHZ processors (16 cores each) with 128 GB of RAM each

  When the class is running and everyone has made their 2 machines, we noticed for some reason, he was all on ESX2 and 3 deployment (380 s).  Then came the ESX alarms, use of 90% of memory, then more than 100% bringing the disk page.  The CPU usage was at a all time high.

  I look at the 2 580 s and there are about 4 virtual machines deployed on them.

  So my question is...

  How does he know where to launch a Virtual Lab Manager machine?  There's no sense 2 servers have been brought to the red zone, and almost overloaded when the 2 most powerful servers in my farm are nearly dormant.  I noticed sometimes in the past, but not this bad.  Normally, we have about 45-50 computers deployed at some point and it seems to spread them out properly.

  This group of training has access to the same LUN and ESX server with Betclick as any other organization that we have.

  We have decided hosting several sessions of training may be greater than this one and would like to know that the virtual machines will be distributed properly.

  I would like to know your opinion on this

  First to answer your question, then make guess what happens.

  As indicated in response Ilya, LM distributed VMs differently with active DRS resource pools and pools of resources without active DRS.

  LM place VMs when the DRS is not used.

  When DRS is used, we use the DRS admission control to select the host to place virtual machines.

  DRS is turned off, LM uses its own placement routine:

  For each virtual machine, LM filter all managed servers that cannot run the virtual machine. A complete list of patterns are:

  • The managed server has not enough memory or quota for virtual machine to run the virtual machine.

  • The host is not connected to the data store that is the virtual machine.

  • The virtual machine has active state (suspended) and the CPU of the server managed by the waking state has been captured is not compatible with the managed server currently considered.

  • The virtual machine has been a guest on 64-bit and the managed server is not 64-bit capable.

  • The virtual machine has more processors than the managed server.

  • The managed server is not accessible or is set to "prohibit deployments." Not reachable may mean that the lm-agent or its not to ping queries is not answer (this is visible in the list of managed server page).

  Once we have the complete list of eligible servers, we place the virtual machines on the host including the smallest (MemoryReservation % + CPUReservation %). By default, we reserve not CPU on LM VMs, this internship will be largely due to the memory on the host computers if you have not changed the settings of reservation of CPU on your virtual machines.

  For closed deploy to the PF3, force us all virtual machines to go on the same host, so if any virtual machines have any special data store / CPU type specification, all virtual machines is forced to go on this host. If there are conflicting requirements between different virtual machines in the same configuration, deployment will fail. Closed VMs also have another condition to check that is rarely achieved in practice: number of closed networks available on the managed server. By default, this is 20 and you will need more than 20 different configurations closed running on a managed server before you who will strike.  (LM4 allows Cross fencing host, so this does not apply in LM4).

  To make a guess blind because of your distribution problem - if you use the saved state and fencing, it's probably the type of processor.  Processor type can be checked on the host properties page.

  If you not are not I would check that the images can deploy on the 580 s by disabling the 380s and trying to deploy them.

  If you use DRS (which you're not), it could be due to deployment of virtual machines too fast for the algorithm of control for the entrance of VC.  An easy solution for this is to extinguish the DRS on the cluster manager of laboratory.

  We tested load internal repeatedly, the product QA in different laboratories, we run (LM has been used in VMworld Labs for the past couple years and internal systems of training and demonstration for our Organization implemented SE), so no need to worry about this.  I assure you that the first 'real' performance problem you will encounter will be almost certainly due to an overload of your storage array (too many IOPS / s)... and for that you have to distribute content in data warehouses and use techniques of creating paths to balance the load.

  Kind regards

  Steven

• Satellite A60-H/W configuration utility

  Hi all

  I have a satellite A60 laptop and when I try to use the Toshiba hardware configuration utility it gives a message as Terminated.Can of Module common someone please help me with as many other utilities are also not working.

  Thank you

• ProDesk 600 G1 BIOS configuration of the TPM secure through the BIOS Configuration utility

  We have a range of devices, computers HP desktop and laptops in our environment.  Devices are all running Windows 7 64 bit and should have Bitlocker enabled, but we found that some were not encrypted.  So I am trying to set up a remote BIOS and Bitlocker config activate software that we can get out via SCCM and then embed in a task sequence image for new machines.

  I use the Bios HP Configuration utility to check a BIOS password is set and then activate the TPM chip.  I took a BIOS config output of each of our models and created a settings file that has all of the TPM associated parameters of all models.

  At the moment I run Setup BIOS utility manually for testing.  On all models I tried that works very well, except for the 600 ProDesk G1 SFF.

  When I run the utility on the ProDesk 600 G1 MFS, it says that I have managed to update the settings, and when I check the BIOS, the TPM secure has been unhidden and the TPM Management was given to the operating system (two settings I change), but the TPM itself remains hidden.

  It's the release of the BIOS configuration utility (it uses the 2.60.13.1 version, which uses plaintext passwords.  I also tried with the 3.0.13.1 later version that uses password files - same result)

  C:\ > BiosConfigUtility64.exe /cspwd: "password" set: "TPM_Config.REPSET"
  
  < BIOSCONFIG Version = "2.60.13.1" Computername = 'HP600G1' Date = "24/07/2014" Time = "13:01:37 ' UTC '1' = >"
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Embedded Security Device" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [hidden device]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [device]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "Enable security on the next boot" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SETTING changeStatus = "pass" name = "The BONES of on-board safety management" reason = "' returnCode '0' = >"
  
          < OLDVALUE > <! [CDATA [disable]] > < / OLDVALUE >
  
          < NEWVALUE > <! [CDATA [enable]] > < / NEWVALUE >
  
  < / SETTING >
  
  < SUCCESS msg = "Successfully set BIOS config." / >
  
  < information msg = 'BCU return the value' real '0' = translated = '0' / >
  
  < / BIOSCONFIG >
  
  C:\ >

  And after a reboot (where it should activate the TPM), BIOS shows as disabled built-in safety device (see attachment for the image).

  I have tried everything I can think of to get this to activate, including:

  • Different versions of the BIOS configuration utility
  
  
  • Remove the password from the BIOS and the application in the same order as the parameters
  
  
  • Different passwords
  
  
  • Reboot and allowing the machine to start completely to Windows before checking if the setting took effect

  I also tried to add the utility and the commands for an SCCM package and it works directly and as part of a sequence of tasks to see if that makes a difference, but nothing I've done has activated the TPM module.

  I know that the TPM module works, as you can turn it on manually and then Bitlocker can be applied to the machine, but with thousands of devices in our environment, I need to get this job without the need for manual intervention.

  Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?  Or has someone at - he managed to activate the TPM on the SFF of 600 ProDesk G1 using the BIOS Setup utility?  Any ideas / suggestions would be very appreciated!

  P.S. This thread was moved from the company PC - Compaq, Elite, Pro for HP PC Client management. -Hp moderator of the Forum

  This problem has now been resolved by HP.
  
  They provided a replacement motherboard for the test machine I was using that solved this problem. I don't know what kind of motherboard failure could prevent the activation via the script TMP chip but not prevent activation through the BIOS menu, but as a replacement solved the problem, then it must be a hardware failure.

• BIOS Configuration utility

  Hello
  I was wondering if Toshiba laptops have a Bios Configuration utility similar to what HP and Dells have. HP has a utility called 'Biosconfigurationutility.exe' which allows the switches to export the configuration file, maniplulate it and import back into the Bios. Dell has a named CCTK aswell.

  The main objective of the present is so that I can import a file of responses in SCCM to set up the laptop to turn on the TPM so that when the generation is here, I can run a windows task to activate Bitlocker with the TPM secure.

  Please help me.

  Thank you

  As far as I know laptop Toshiba don t have something like that. Only the tool where you can change some settings in BIOS is Toshiba HWsetup utility you can find in Toshiba Assist optionally optimize.

• the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased

  I have a MBP with 2 SSD. Yosemite is running on the SSD that has been partitioned 1 TB to a 150 / 850 GB volumes.

  I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but after succesfully download Windows software support that I can not go to the next step where I have to choose a volume (Pluto). Wizard Boot Camp shows my SSD and when I chose the following warning is displayed:

  "the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased."

  I see that Pluto isn't GUID and maybe that's the problem, but there are already some data on the volume of 850 GB that I can't erase. Is there a way to fix this without destroying the data? I don't even know why Pluto doesn't have GUID in the first place...

  Thnx,

  G

  

  You have two entries 'Pluto '. The outermost is a volume CoreStorage group, which has two volumes, one is named Pluto, the other is TerraNova. The 512 GB of Samsung is your second physical disk. The Pluto in the BC Assistant is the complete LVG, not only the volume of Pluto, which contains also of Terra Nova.

  BCA does not support such a configuration on your MBP. You will need to backup your data or manually partition the disk and do a little terminal work, if you want to install Windows in this configuration. The second SSD will complicate it further. You may need to physically remove the disk non-windows in order to install Windows.

  Your end of 2011 Mac does not support Windows 10 as described in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . You will encounter problems of pilot.

  Help, please.

  Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

  1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

  2. which antivirus app do you use?

  3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

  I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

  Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

  If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

  1 unplug the appliance.

  2. restart Windows XP.

  If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

  For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

  (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

  Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

  If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

  Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

  If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

  1. reboot the computer.

  2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

  4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

  a. copy the text of the error message.

  b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

  http://support.Microsoft.com

  (http://support.microsoft.com)

  c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

  d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

  If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

  If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

  Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

  If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

  If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

  If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

  To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

  a. restart the computer.

  (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

  c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

  d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

  If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.

• System Configuration utility

  I had a hotline to change how windows starts and clear my system for viruses etc.

  I have no w received a message on my pc every time you start by saying that the system utility is in diagnostic or selective startup mode.

  I need to choose normal startup on the general tab mode to start windows normally and undo the changes you made by using the system configuration utility. Help!

  Where is THE general tab and that make the changes I need to do when?

  That's why using msconfig to deal with start-up problems is the wrong way to go.

  To answer your specific question, click Start, then click Run, type msconfig in the box "Open", and then click OK.

  Running msconfig starts the System Configuration utility.  It has several tabs, the leftmost is the general tab you're looking for. Click the general tab and then click on the 'Normal Startup' radio button.  And then click OK.

  When you restart, you'll be in normal mode - but probably some problem has prompted "phone support" to run msconfig first place will return.

  If you want to fix things rather than simply hide them with msconfig, please post describing the problem that comes up when you restart in Normal mode.
