Install VMware ESX4 without isolating the San

Hi all

Our environment is the round base HP BL460c G5 blades, backtracked several outputs spacewalks for storage and running ESX 3.5 (installed locally) that is deployed via Altiris/HP RDP & kickstart scripts.

We had a challenge with it originally, as production LUN could get watered whenever we had to rebuild an ESX host. Remove CF of the environment of the installation drivers did a great job to prevent this.

I, like many others I guess, makes use of an excellent paper titled 'Install VMware ESX3 without isolating the SAN' written by members of communities Véronic and initially hosted on xtravirt.com (this document seems to now have disappeared on the net, unfortunately).

We are now in the final phase of the planning of our upgrade to vSphere, and I am faced with a similar situation. What I really need to know is if I have to rebuild ESX4 ISO without CF pilots, or if he's going to ' play nice and install on the local HARD disk, rather than trashing the VMFS/RDM LUN of ID to the address below. " I realize that the best practice is to perform the insulation, but I would like to cover the bases as much as possible.

Does anyone have experience of this?

Have you tried the '-onfirstdisk = local "the autopartition command argument?  I think that your problem should be solved (unless ESX incorrectly identifies your storage as local, of course).

  • Cannot install VMware tools - "cannot find the component...". »

    I created a Windows XP Pro VM under a host Windows 7 Pro using Player 4.02. When I try to install VMware tools I get the message "can't find conponent on the update server. Contact VMware support or your system administrator. "The host and guest both can work a network connectivity and the internet. I saw at least another poster on another forum mentioned this error message and told him to install by mounting the ISO and install it manually. I looked in every subdirectory of the installation of the reader and any windows.iso file could not be found. Is it supposed to be there in this version of the player? If this is not the case, how can I get the iso? Any help is appreciated.

    This question will probably be corrected in the next few days and I see this with other versions.  Right now the last repository showing is: http://softwareupdate.vmware.com/cds/vmw-desktop/player/4.0.1

  • I inadvertanly did a clean install of W7 without saving the existing bookmarks

    I forgot to mark a backup of bookmarks for a USB before you do a clean install of W7 to my computer.
    There is a "Windowsold" folder that has put the facility on drive C. is possible to recover bookmarks?

    If you C:\Windows.old, you can be lucky.

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

    A little luck?

    Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

  • There must be a way to install 8.1 without the store?

    There must be a way to install 8.1 without using the store?

    I work in a small shop and we're maintenance machines of Windows 8 more every week.

    The only problem is that the store has been incredibly unreliable.  We kept a current to 8 machines directory and a little less than 60% of those that we have had so far this year have experienced problems getting Windows Update to work properly and to get extreme Windows 8.1 download has started and installed.  My colleagues and I have spent countless hours in the workplace and on our personal time trying to find fixes for these issues

    I cannot yet give a complete list of the problems that we had because there is so much to - everything from Windows update not download, 8.1 sitting at 0% for hours or even days in some cases, or the wonderfully useless screen "something happened and cannot complete the installation of Windows 8.1."  I even had one of our business customers bring two and nine in the box, portable identical in design.  We started the update and immediate installation.  The other was sitting on our bench for three days until we could get things

    We have tried everything we can to avoid these problems, but always happens on a daily basis.  Please tell me there is a way for us to upgrade all Windows 8 to 8.1 machines (that's what Microsoft wants, after all, isn't?) and to do so without the store.

    No there is not. Sorry, but Microsoft made the decision to release 8.1 by download from the store window and buy purchase retail only we will not have to like it, but it's the only game in town. Personally I recommend to my family and friends if they have problems to download Windows 8.1 they purchase a full retail copy and do a clean install. This also has the advantage that if you wipe your computer in the future you don't have to be bothered by all these many updates. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    The above opinion is mine and mine nothing and does not necessarily reflect that of Microsoft, it's employees, or any other Member of this forum.

  • How to install an AIR android app without deleting the data generated by the previous version

    I have an android application developed using adobe AIR SDK 16 and Flash CS6. Whenever I have publish/debug the application directly in the connected device. But whenever I publish the application data (images, text files) saved in the repository of application including the sqlite file are deleted. That's why I have to recreate all the data again to test. Is there a way to public/install an apk without losing the data created by the app installed? I tried with changing the version number. And I use the same certificate.

    Colin is correct. When you publish on an Android application directly on a Flash device, it removes the old version and then install a new. You can actually see this happen. If you have the app open with the screen on drawer and to publish the application from Flash, you will see the app disappear from your device and a few seconds later, another appears.

    Another way you could install the app, while keeping the data is just having Flash create the .apk file and install it manually on your device or use the method of Colin put as a beta/alpha on the game store. Be aware that if you are wanting to do your application paid for, you can first make free.

    A manual installation options include the apk of edition and then move to your device while it connected as USB device (Windows) or use the Android app (Mac) File Transfer and you need a file manager on the device application 'open' the app that will trigger the installation prompt.

    What I do, because my apps are for most of the code and are small size of file, use Dropbox. I have all my project files saved with Dropbox, so whenever I publish a new .apk file, I download the new file to my phone from Dropbox and install it from the downloads app and it prompts just update you currently installed.

    All manual installation options will be security-> Sources unknown option checked. I don't remember if it applies to the developer of the app, but apps beta/alpha on the need of a community Google Store + or Google Group created to test and anyone in the community or group can download and test the application. But of course, you can restrict the groups invite only.

    VMware dear users,.

    I'm quite new to vmware players.

    My host system is OpenSuse 11.3 and I want to run Windows 7 (64) as a guest operating system. The windows installation went without any problems, but I am unable to have a display full screen of my guest operating system. I read somewhere on the web that it could be due to the fact that I have not installed VMWARE tools. When you click on "install VMWARE tools" I get the followign error.
