• Windows 7 Home Premium with invalid Code of Activation in the virtual environment

  I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, I could get the Product Code of Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder.  I created a Virtualbox Win7 environment to test the code for what should I have to rebuild my computer I have everything properly.  Although I enter the code correctly when I try to activate it says that is not valid.  Is it because I'm under a system with it already running with the same product code that it does not work properly? Or something else?

  If your intention is to rebuild the desktop, why would need to test the activation code to see if it works, when it is currently working on the host itself? I can understand the Windows 7 Home Premium assessment in the virtual environment, but the idea of the code itself, no.

  If its already active in the host, then that means it works.

  If Home Premium from Windows 7 is pre-installed on the host itself, the code that you use cannot be used to activate Windows 7 elsewhere.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If it is a retail license and you need to reactivate Windows 7 Home Premium if you reinstall from scratch, you can still use phone activation:

  How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
   
  1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
   
  (2) press the ENTER"" key.
   
  (3) select your "country" in the list.
   
  (4) choose the option "activate phone".
   
  (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
   
  (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  Go to the properties of the system of the host machine (start > right click computer > properties > scroll to the bottom of the window). If you see OEMS in the ID of the product you can not use elsewhere:

  

• Isolate the production environment servers in a test environment

  I would like to create a clone of my production SQL and Sharepoint server environment and isolate the servers from the rest of the environment. What I want to do is to create a new volume on my SAN and clone the two servers to it. After that, I want to always allow access to a consultant in order to access servers remotely while not allowing the rest of the production environment to see the servers. Is there an easy way to configure this?

  You can work with NAT.

  Add a virtual machine acting as a NAT and gateway in this "isolated" network

  Or, simpler, add a server or a client with a dual NIC, an isolated network and the other in the local network.

• Isolate the VMotion traffic

  I can't find other reasons to isolate the VMotion traffic, other than to keep the information unsecurred that they are exposed to the rest of the network.  Is a VLAN for VMotion only a safety precaution?

  Hello

  It is not required to devote vSwitch for VMotion, defining the right policy for the use of network cards is enough.

  Not sure I agree with that, but it's because of the layer 2 issues more than anything else. It's okay if you APPROVE VLAN. If you do not trust VLAN because of the possible layer 2 attacks within your physical network so it is not acceptable.

  There are two reasons to separate the VMotion traffic:

  (1) performance. When you need VMotion you want as quickly as possible, you don't want it was contesting with disk i/o or any other network IO. In generally, it was acceptable to share networks VMotion and SC SC being generally low use unless you're cold migration of virtual machines from node to node, etc..

  (2) security. You absolutely want VMOtion to be separated. Think what you are doing, you transfer the image memory of the VMs on a wire in CLEAR TEXT. Is that if you flip the bit that says to use SSL to ensure this. Despite this, SSL MiTM may be possible (not tested yet). Images of memory contains identifying information. Hackers love this type of data.

  So yes, security is the main reason... Are enough VLAN? It depends on your level of TRUST in virtual LANs as well as your security policy.

• alert filtering for the Virtual Machine in emailFilter.xml

  I'm trying to filter for alerts from the Virtual Machine to the user interface in the emailFilter.xml.

  Ideally I would like to filter by other measures such as the ready % CPU or the CPU usage or some other metrics, but in the meantime just try to isolate the Virtual Machine.

  < condition >

  < condition type = "ResourceKind" > VMware adapter: Virtual Machine < / condition >

  < / conditions >

  I tried a few different combinations of the above, but no luck.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you!

  not quite sure I understand what you try to do

  Edit:

  But I have the kind of resource would be 'VirtualMachine' (without a space), and there is no tag 'typical'.

  Look at him ' consolidated-alert - definitions.xml' for example, formatting must be exactly as specified.

  I read it twice
  Look here - https://www.vmware.com/pdf/vcops-57-custom-ui-admin-guide.pdf page 82.

  resource type must be VMWARE:VirtualMachine

  
  

  I'm not sure that you will be able to filter by attribute however (such as the CPU usage)

• Keyboard does not not in virtual environment

  Hello

  I just bought and installed VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro running Lion.  I set up a virtual environment with Snow Leopard Server, but my keyboard does not respond within the virtual environment.  It would be like if I didn't have the keyboard hooked up to my computer, if it happened on the actual computer.  He initially worked in the virtual environment after my first installation of the OS, as I was able to type in the various Info configuration, such as user name and password, but it doesn't now.  I searched through this forum and cannot find any solution.  I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.

  I notice that when I raise System Profiler, no keyboard is listed under USB devices, so I don't know if that is related to the problem or not.

  Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Dennis

  Strange, indeed: I installed the VMware Tools as the second time, and it worked.

  You can try again and activate the automatic connection this time...

• Another scenario of test - isolate the recovery Site

  Question for the gurus out there:

  Installation: We have a simple configuration with a single restore site protected and unique. The configuration of the network is stretched VLAN. All the tests to bubble networks works as advertised, and we are very pleased with the solution so far. In addition to virtual infrastructure, there is a certain physical systems that make up the environment, and the goal is to make a complete failure on the test of the site in the coming weeks.

  Test case: the proposed solution is to drop the link between sites protected-recovery and turn the entire failover datacenter in a bubble (only accessible through VPN links). Once the test is completed, we would have back then all the changes on the recovering site, so that it protects once more the main site.

  Question: Would it be possible to rotate part SRM to the test in 'Test' mode only - that she set up the whole environment attached to the VLAN direct (who are now isolated from production by dropping the link of the site) and once finished, reset the recovery by the normal site (i.e. "Test recovery finished, press on continue clean...") ») ? I don't see why it wouldn't work, unless for some reason, the test procedure requires communication between the sites that the effective recovery process does not.

  Thanks for any comments.

  Hello

  Recovery test requires no connection to the protected site as far as I know.

  About the networking part of your question, when you change a recovery plan, on the network management screen you have an option to configure the test networks. These networks is used during the trial instead of bubble networks (default).

  SRM will be cleaning the virtual environment, but how do you cleaning physical servers?

  For how long you plan to run on the recovering site? You have sufficient capacity for snapshots on your storage array?

• Mount an .iso that is stored IN the virtual machine.

  Briefing Note: deploy us thin client on several campuses. Create us the model, deploy in each site, and then rebuild each pool. We now need to mount an image file .iso for one of the required programs. The .iso image file cannot be mounted with the software of in the virtual environment, because it uses a software of PortectDISC. We have the right number of drives, but customers have no disk drives.

  Problem: Since deploying the model, we must include the file .iso with her image. Normally, you would ride a .iso manually. However, load the file on each remote server .iso image and enter in each of hundreds of machines virtual one at a time to set the .iso way are not possible. Mount the .iso image file is our only option. Is there a way to store the .iso image file in the hard disk of the virtual machine and the virtual machine settings to rise from this point .iso? Or is it possible to include the image .iso with the model file when we deploy it is with each virtual machine and the path in the settings is already pointing to it?

  We tried to put the file .iso image on a store of data on one of our ESX servers, and then modified the model gold on this machine to point to the .iso image file. We reconstructed the pool, and the image .iso file mounted correctly. The problem with that is that we have 20 + machines trying to access the same file at the same time. Let the first few machines work, but the rest said it had disc read errors. So, we want to each machine to have its own .iso.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I have to add a warning that I use not models, but I don't think it is very relevant to my answer.

  @wila: well, I had thought about it, but when deploy us the image, it will automatically change the path to the file? For example, if we note the virtual drive to mount the .iso file to "\vm_template\cd.iso", then deploy, each of the virtual machines will not have this same path in their settings? Then they will all point to '\vm_template\cd.iso' instead of their own institution ' "\vm_##\cd.iso? '" If so, this would require we go each of hundreds of machines and set up manually every time that we deploy a model.

  If you do not add a path, then the iso that the virtual machine will try to open will be local to the virtual machine. You can simply do this by copying the vm to the path of your virtual machine, for example "[storage1] \vm_template" and affecting the CD this specific path.

  As is the same way, you can wait for the vSphere client is smart enough, it does not remove the path for drives in such a case, but not for CD...

  To use the vSphere Client to create the bases so far

  What I just did, go in the vmx file, deleted information path of superfluous and only left the name of the iso file, and all the true startConnected, not the virtual machine to make sure that my edit is OK, again registered the VM in the vSphere client, then started my VM and mounted the cdrom without any problem whatsoever.

  So - as expected - it works fine the iso file is local to the virtual machine and the local path comes first unless you assign specifically it different in the vmx file.

• Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

  I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

  I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

  I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

  Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

  So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

  PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

  Yes

  The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

  If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine

• How to access the appservice parent of the virtual machine/machine component in a Multi environment?

  Hello

  I worked on a project of automation of the vra. In Orchestrator I have access to all the information for a particular component VM (for example, vCACVm, vCenterVm, virtualmachineEntity, vCACHost, vCACVmProperties objects) in the multi machine environment. But I have no information for the parent appservice (usually there will be a 'fake' vm as parent for multi machine environment).  For example, if I need to know the virutalmachineID of this parent 'VM' how to do it through vCAC API? I checked around and out to the desperate. Someone from http://dailyhypervisor.com/vrealize-automation-vcac-6-1-building-vco-workflows-for-multi-machine-blueprints/ says vCACEntity.getlink (vCACHost, "ChildVirutalMachines"), which seems the only link between parents and children vms. I certainly know that there should be an easy way to connect the machine virtual parent/child and go to the other, but how?

  Any response is appreciated!

  Concession of thank you for your response. It is the most common way that we tried. However, all properties we don't see anything pointing to the parent app "appservice' of a vm component. Last night I thought I found the answer. A property is shared between 'parent' and 'children': provisioningGroupID; It turns out that the name confusion is actually for "business group" for all the virtual machines belong to this group of companies will have the same value, not only the family of multi machine.

• We have configured replication vsphere in our environment and when replication is triggered according to the OFR start us below the questions on the virtual machines that are configured for replication

  Question: We have configured replication vsphere in our environment and when replication is triggered according to the OFR start us below the questions on the virtual machines that are configured for replication.

  Version for esxi: Patch 5.1 level 7

  Virtual center of version 5.1

  Source of storage - IBM v7000

  Destination storage - Hitachi

  
  Questions:
  Events of breach RPO
  Consolidation for the VM disk failure
  Delta abandoned events
  Time change events
  NTFS error and warning (event ID: 137, 57)
  RDP disconnect and ping does matter
  Standby error
  Volsnap error
  Stop the server and offline issue
  Install vmtools emits automatically

  well, in this case, we need to disable the standby of the end of the replication.

  So that everything in triggering replication does not trigger the snapshot of the suspension.

  Then test the if you get these errors.

• Isolate the port on a vSphere standard switch traffic

  Hello

  I deploy an environment where I have a pool of 100 virtual machines that live on a switch standard vSphere isolated. The virtual machines to communicate with the rest of the world through a virtual double-NIC machine. This configuration does not work as expected, but I would go a little further and to isolate the connectivity network, such as each virtual machine can communicate with the system of double-NIC and not each other. The switch standard vSphere, the pool of 100 virtual machines are all located on the same VLAN and group ports. I spent some research time through documentation, but I did find a clean way to implement what I want. The best I can get to each of the virtual machines 100 puts their own VIRTUAL LAN, but it is ugly and will be difficult to maintain. Is there something easier that I missed?

  Thank you

  Steve

  PVLAN, but you will need the distributed virtual switch.

• If the virtual machine can be harmful?

  VPC may be dangerous for my pc anyway. I have average can do something wrong?

  A virtual pc will create a virtual environment within its program. It runs as a program in your computer and request data to be processed by your processor. Depending on the type of virtual software you use, most of the time things happening inside the virtual machine will not in any way to communicate with your computer. To use the resources he will communicate the virtual pc program and then the program will ask you to windows resources.

  Therefore, the virtual pc will be not harmful. It will use the same amount of resources (CPU, memory), such that a normal computer would be nice. I advise to use windows xp.
