Install a custom configuration for ESXi Installer for server 28 - Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1

Hello

First off I will say that I installed ESXi 4.1 in about 6 servers to date.  I have a large ESXi Cluster that contains the MSCS virtual machines.  I have the problem that described in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016106.  Now, workaround for the value Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value 1 works fine and shorten time of start of 40 + minutes to 8 minutes after post.  Now, what to install it?  Well, they suck.  Basically before you can actually adjust this via the gui VI client, you must go through 2 trunk of ESXi 4.1 (1 ffrom the CD and 1 after initial installation).  So, basically, to install ESXi on servers 1 takes me about 2 hours.  That sucks.  Anyone know how I can make a customized CD that includes the fix 'Scsi.CRTimeoutDuringBoot value to 1' already?  28 more servers to go and I'm not looking forward to that!  Please help...

  • Wiped out Firefox my homepage update which was a custom configuration for a site that I can't come back. Why what happened?

    A Firefox update yesterday, November 22, 2016, wiped out my home page setting. The home page was a complex URL with some custom settings for a site. Why this get wiped out in the update and where can I find this setting to restore? This is unacceptable behavior for an update!

    Your Firefox perform a refresh during the update? If so, you should find your old profile folder (settings) on your desktop in a folder called old data from Firefox.

    If you find that the file prefs.js will have your old home page setting.

    Don't double-click a .js file, because Windows will be executed as a system script. Instead, right click > edit the file to open it in Notepad or right click > open with choose a different text editor. Then find the line starting with:

    user_pref ("browser.startup.homepage"

    and who should have the setting you need (do not include the beginning and end "when you copy / paste to the Options of Firefox page").

  • Install a VSA on existing ESXi installation

    Hi guys,.

    We have two local hosts ESXi 5.0 with data warehouses and want to take advantage of VSA, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I don't want to lose all the data and I have 200 GB of free space on each data store.

    -Is it possible to install VSA on the free space remaining and migrate a VSA Cluster machine both to free space upp to extend VSA data store?
    -J' have also a QNAP NAS with iscsi, this will affect? Can I migrate my virtual machines in the data store and then migrate once VSA Cluster is setuped?
    -I was also thinking of getting more disk space and it will be better to build my VSA Cluster on those first, then migrate my VMs and the last step, expand my VSA datastore with the data store original?

    Thank you.

    1. the installation mode that allows you to install VSA in an existing virtual machines is installation of Brownfields. VMware product management Rawlinson made two posts on the same here.

    http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2012/12/vCloud-Suite-vSphere-storage-appliance-VSA-5-1-considerations-for-successful-brownfield-deployments-part-II.html

    2 external storage should not be affected with the implementation of VSA.

    3 vSphere Storage Appliance 5.1 allows you to extend the storage of the existing unit. There might be some VMs downtime involved, but it is supported.

    Most important thing to consider in two node VSA is that the cluster service should work outside of your VSA hosts. So, you need to have a small desk box or any other server in order to run your service. Things are well documented in the Deep Dive technical book by Cormac here...

    Hello

    I try to install the server behavior & extension of the database in my CC of Dreamweaver 2014 of the trial.  I've added it to https://creative.adobe.com/addons/patches/2176#.VGJ7TvnF-DA and it shows I have, but it has not yet appear in Dreamweaver.  I followed the steps outlined in the troubleshooting list:

    Internet works

    The application is compatible with the addon

    The application of CC desktop is installed and running

    Synchronization of files is enabled

    After that, I tried to install it through the Adobe Extension Manager.  As soon as I loaded up the Manager has crashed.  Whenever I open it crashes immediately.  Here is the error report:

    Original title: new installation of streets & trips 2013 on windows error 8.

    I have my windows 8 installation with the assurance that my products purchased from Microsoft survive the 8 Windows Reinstall "refreshed". Well all the Microsoft products were there but would not work. Each gave the error for rerinstall the product I did no problem except for the problem with the streets of travel & which still exists and is completely ignored by Microsoft, according to my research. The error is: "a licensing initialization error has occurred. Please contact customer support for further assistance. Error 0xC004D301 ". I tried all the suggestions that I have met on the internet. The most galling was given by Microsoft technology in its response to this problem. "The license data is probably corrupted" OK, makes sense, BUT how can I fix that you genius. Someone had managed to get the program to work after this error message?

    Success!  Hi John, I don't know if this will solve your problem because I am running windows 8.1 and tries to install streets & trips 2011.  But I had a similar symptom that you knew.  Here's what I did: just right-click on the icon in the start menu, select programs and features.  Uninstall all versions of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010, I had two.  Then I opened the installation dvd in Explorer, click right on dvdrun, marked the area run as long as administrator (not sure if it did anything or not), hit apply, then double clicked on dvdrun and everything worked.  I could install, validate, save, and run the program!
    A warning, I don't know what are the potential problems that may result in removing these two programs, I hope that if I run into something I can install them again without too much trouble.

  • UPS for ESXi installation tips House + NAS installation

    wanting advice on UPS system for home installation of VMware. our neighborhood is to have summer blackouts for hours these days.

    I have an an ESXi 5.1u2 Server ESXi on a usb key with a SSD for the cache.

    of the virtual machine is on a NAS

    2 switches x netgear

    want the ups to shut down the VM with elegance on the NAS, then stop the ESXi server gracefully.

    I can plug a UPS into the NAS via USB and have the SIN 'shutdown' but I know not if that normally stops the virtual machine first then ESXi server?

    I have not idea what to use for the ESXi server. It can be as simple as connect a USB to a UPS in the ESXi server and configure something in vSphere but I "just guessing

    something like WinNUT should I do?

    some tips are appeciated

  • Rufus (free utility) takes 2 minutes to create a USB bootable for ESXi installation starting source who becomes the target of the installation, even for 5.5

    Just info, one of these open Windows source rare beads that are becoming more and more difficult to find on the web these days, in the middle of a see payloads of downloader.

    Rufus I found to be very convenient for the quick creation of a USB flash drive you can start from, and then only install, for ESXi, no command-line stuff to memorize necessary and very fast:

    TinkerTry.com/rufus-takes-2-minutes-to-create-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-for-esxi-installation

    works very well with ESXi 5.5 also:

    and when finished with this flash drive and you want to use it for something else (but normal reformatting does not work), she who manages, even on Windows 8.1:

    TinkerTry.com/rufus-lets-you-quickly-and-easily-reformat-an-esxi-usb-flash-drive-back-to-full-capacity

    Especially useful for people to start who shy away from Linux VMware procedure:

    Format a USB to start the ESXi Installation or upgrade

    Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5

    Windows diskpart commands or potentially dangerous. Really fair, fast and useful for pretty much everyone.

  • HP Custom Image for ESXi 5.0.0 Update 1 vs VMware provided

    We use models of generation of servers, ProLiant DL HP 5, 6 and 7 to our environment vSphere. Someone at - it experience with the use of the HP device provided ISO vs VMware?

    I've been using VMware images provided and for moving to ESXi 5.0U1, I am trying to determine whether to use images of HP now.


    Suggestions, comments, and or PROs or idiots would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    As others said, the ISO provided HP is very good, but it is in no way a magic requirement. They contain little update driver-VIBs and, in addition, the material management extensions.

    Basically, everything that HP and other hardware vendors are doing with their ISOs custom entering the release of vanilla by VMware, the addition of a few separate packages (material management extensions) and maybe replace some drivers specific with updated versions (as a driver more recent be2net, which is just what VMware offers as an updated driver to separate day on their site anyway). They do not affect the VMware components as esx-base package

    You can also easily build an almost exact copy of HP image yourself, updated or additional drivers and management extensions are all available after all. And of course you can always install management packs and drivers updated in your vanilla install yourself afterwards, through for example Update Manager.

  • SP A10 - Error 633: the modem is not installed or configured for Dial-Up

    I've already reformatted the hard drive and the utility CD to reinstall the modem driver. Anyone got tips on how to solve the problem? An external modem would solve it?
    Either way, it's a satellite pro A10

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is formatted, use the recovery CD and reinstall the OS. After that, the modem must be recognized and properly installed. After that, configure Dial connection and check the modem. If the modem is not defective, it should work.

    The strange thing is that there is Error 633 which means: the port is already in use or is not configured for remote access remote calls.
    Please check this interesting site http://www.modemsite.com/56k/duns633.asp.
