• Need help with Copy-VMGuestFile: comments operations agent could not be contacted

  Hello world

  I am trying to copy and read files on a virtual machine.

  My virtual computer that is running windows server 2008 R2, VMware ESXi 5.0

  I tried the following, but it didn't work:

  Copy-VMGuestFile-Source c:\text.txt-Destination c:\ - VM VM - GuestToLocal - HostUser root collar - HostPassword

  Result:

  WARNING: The operating system prompted for the virtual machine «...» "is unknkow. The operation may fail.

  Copy-VMGuestFile comments operations agent could not be contacted.

  CategoryInfo: NotSpecified: [Copy-VMGuestFile], ViError

  FullQualifiedErrorID: Client20_VmGuestServiceImpl_GetGuestAuthentication_ViError, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.CopyVMGuestFile

  My VM is a clean install. I have tried to look for the error, but can find no possible solution.

  Most of them is related to Invoke VMScript or the VMware tool (something that I have not installed on the virtual machine).

  Can someone help me please?

  Or can you suggest me a way to read and copy files to a virtual machine?

  Thank you in advance.

  The Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet uses the VMware tools in the virtual machine to copy the file. If you need to install the VMware tools in the virtual machine before you can use the Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet.

• Need help with my hp pavilion dv6-7020us keyboard. :(

  I was wondering if anyone knew if the Hp Pavilion dv6-7020us possesses a light to the top of the keyboard? I tried to use f5 already, but it does not work. This is what it says to do on the user guide, but I'm not having any luck. Anyone know?

  My notebook of HP Envy17-3002ea replacement only and to the specifications, it is described as full-size backlit with proximity sensor Radiance. Your care of keyboard are not described as keyboard Island full size with pad, so no backlit keyboard.

• Need help with the breakdown of the system

  I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista, and my animal jumped on the keys.  He locks and there wouldn't let me connect you to Wiindows.  I did a launch startup repair, and he said that he could not repair automatically.  I then tried a restore of factory default software, but he will not do the last step.  I am running Windows now, but every time I try to do all the things I get corrupted file view.  Is there something I can do, or better, I'll take my laptop repair?  Thank you.

  Need help with the installation of an adapter of graphics Super Palit GeForce 9500GT - 512 MB - DDR2 SDRAM in a M2N68 motherboard (narra6). Should I disable the onboard graphics in the bios? When the card is installed, no VGA work outs and the PC does not start. Checked and recontroler implementation of the card in the PCI slot. PC is a desktop HP G5200uk PC. Windows 7 operating system.

  Hello

  The link below is a guige to install a video card in your Pc.  In particular, it seems that you will have to perhaps specify the location of the new card in the bios and save this change before you install the new card - see step 4 in the guide on the link below.  If your new card fits into the PCI Express x 16 slot, you will need to define PCI Express in the bios and save the changes.

  Hi ErikLee,

  Do you have MS Outlook installed on your computer?

  Windows mail import and export opportunities are limited to an Outlook .pst file or an Exchange Server mailbox. They are available only if MS Outlook is installed.
  If MS Outlook is not installed and you start an import or export action, the necessary support files are not present for Windows mail complete the operation. Then I suggest you to install Outlook temporarily and see if the problem is resolved.

  Follow the instructions below and check if the problem is resolved.

  1. reboot your computer, and then start Windows Mail.
  2. on the Tools menu, click Options.
  3. in the connection tab, click on edit to open the Internet Properties dialog box.
  4. in the tab programs, click on an application other than Windows mail e-mail in the e-mail list. Click on apply and then click OK.
  5. click OK again to close the Options dialog box.
  6. exit Windows mail and restart Windows mail.

  If this does not work, I suggest you upgrade to Windows Live Mail to import or export messages that may help you resolve the issue.

  To download Windows Live Mail, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

• Hard drive controller is released on the PC need help with setting up new controller

  I have a HP with a built NVidia controller on the mobo.  The controller was an error and I am installing an Adaptec 2120SA on the system controller.  The computer sees the controller and it tries to start the operating system but has problems it BlueScreens and it blue screens quickly so I do not see the error code.  but I think it's because I don't have the drivers of the controller installed in the operating system.  I really don't want to reload the workstation.  Is it possible to install the drivers of the controller without starting the operating system I tried three other PC and they all have the same questions. as the driver for the controller is not there.  The OS is Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  The PC is no longer under warranty and a replacement MoBo is too much money.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi arjaywolverine,

  There is a way that can be attempted to identify the problem and we'll see if it helps.
  You need to extract the driver file from hard drive controller on a floppy/flash your motherboard CD drive, and then you restart the computer with the Windows Vista operating system DVD.

  1. turn on your computer and insert the CD or the DVD of Windows Vista.
  2. on the page install Windows, do not click on install now. Instead, click on repair your computer. The System Recovery Options dialog box appears.
  3. click load drivers and it prompts you to insert your floppy disk or USB key.
  4. navigate to the correct device and click Ok.

  Once the drivers are installed correctly, remove the DVD and diskette. Restart the computer and who should do it.

  Hope this information is useful.

  I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

  My Situation:

  I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

  Help with the data store and network:

  I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

  I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

  Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

  I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

  Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

  You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

  Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

  RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

  You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

  Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

  UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.
