Looking for a pulse...

Genii companions Hello,

How would I go about testing to see if an ESX host is alive and ready to run operations against? for example I am deploying ESX hosts automatically from kickstarts, and once they are built and ready I must add to vCenter and a few other bits and bobs to them. Should I use Connect-VIServer and guess if it connects then all is right with the world, or is there a better way?

Many juicy to account for the first which brings the answer for me... Come on!

Previously, I've created a loop to continue to try a connect-viserver on the host until it connects with a small sleep in there.

do {
     sleep 2
     $VIServer = Connect-VIServer MYESXHost -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
} until ($VIServer.IsConnected -eq $true)

If you found this information useful, please consider the allocation of points for correct or helpful.

  • mirroring AirPlay look for apple tv

    Since the iOS 10 update on iPhone and iPad, it seems that I can't find my AirPort Express for streaming music on my stereo.  When I click on AirPlay Mirroring it only looks for AppleTV and never find my Express.  Someone else has a similar problem?  Is there another setting I'm missing?

    When I'm in the Spotify application, there is a button for devices and this app can find the Express (on iOS 10), but my SiriusXM app doesn't have this same feature.

    Thank you!

    AirPlay Mirroring and AirPlay streaming are two different things. With iOS 10, AirPlay Mirroring is accessible via the control panel. AirPlay Streaming has been integrated in the music app.

  • Problems with three fingers looking for preview

    Hi all

    So I've upgraded to Mac OS Sierra the other night and it was absolutely great so far. However, there is a feature I noticed is either absent, either turned somewhere off the coast, and it is three fingers look upward in the preview. I'm at school and do a lot of my reading on a PDF in preview, and yes I just came across a few words that I don't know the definitions to. In the past, three fingers look has been one of the best features for its quick access to definitions. This is something I really miss and hope that it will be always possible somehow.

    Now, I noticed that it only worked in other applications as well, I went to settings and looked for the feature. I was able to find it in the settings of the Trackpad and he turned his back. That seems to have worked for just about every other app except Preview. If anyone has solutions to this problem, I'm all ears!

    Thanks in advance guys!

    It works for me in preview. However, it took several 3 finger taps to finally get the context menu with 'Look Up' inside to provide the result below.

    Don't know what's happening, you do not give a lot of information, but if you have the constant beachballing (spinning wait cursor), which could mean that the hard drive is dying.

    Open Console.app in Applications > utilities. Filter, called "String Matching," right, high enter "I/o" without the quotes. What happens when you do this?

  • Looking for hope in the restoration of my iMac

    My iMac HD has failed, and I took it to Apple to get it replaced. I had a Time Machine backup on an external hard drive Seagate. But my iMac just not see the backup drive Seagate. I don't know if there is a trick to getting the Seagate HD displays. It does not show in Finder or in disk utility. But when the iMac HD was not, and I looked for ways to restore, I saw a Time Machine backup date. Now, I can not see the drive. Even though I have the music and pictures stored in iCloud, all my apps are now gone. I don't know where to start. I was a fool to trust Time Machine? This is literally disastrous for me, and I don't know where to start. What I need, is to see this backup disk somewhere BTW, I plugged on another iMac and he did not see it either. Is there some magic for Seagate HD?

    Some things you can try:

    * Open the Finder preferences (under the Finder menu, top left of your screen). Make sure that on the general tab, the boxes are ticked for hard disks and drives, to show them on your desktop. Otherwise, they won't be visible.

    * Try a new cable. The cable went wrong.

    * Open disk utility when the drive is connected. You can see on the left hand side of the disk utility? If you see an external drive, try to mount in disk utility. If you can ride, the files are available? If this isn't the case, you can run disk utility to try to fix it.

    * Seagate's data recovery services.  http://www.Seagate.com/services-software/recover/ first of all, you can download their software and try it for free. If it can find files on the disk, you can then purchase the license of their recovery software to use to recover your files from the Seagate drive. Alternatively, he can perform the data recovery for you (with supplement). The details are at this link.

    I'm sorry it happened, I wish you good luck.  It seems that your problem could not Time Machine, which is actually a very good backup program; but rather, your external drive seems to have a problem. This happens to all readers subsequently, no last forever and that's why I try to keep at least two backups, each with a different method. For example, one with Time Machine, the other using software such as "clone" (such as SuperDuper, CCC etc.). It is good that you use the cloud at least. I hope that you can recover your files.

    Hello, I'm looking for time machine to my iphone more than 6

    There is no time Machine to an iOS device. They are saved to the iCloud or iTunes on a computer; Time Machine can then save the backup to a computer, but he can't save a device iOS directly.

  • You are looking for a simple auto-upload / sync solution

    Hello!

    Our House is the proud owner of several Apple devices, together, we have 2 MacBooks, 2 iPhone and an iPad. Devices are distributed over more than 2 Apple ID, we want to keep it this way.

    But, as we both take a lot of pictures it is always a hassle to keep track of the best of them so that we are looking for an easy solution. I searched a bit already online but seem to be asking the wrong question, in any case, I can't find what I'm looking for so I'll try here now.

    What we would like to have:

    -Pictures of fact on two iPhones are automatically downloaded / synchronized to one place, wherever we are.

    -This place should ideally be in our House (so preferably not cloud)

    -This place should also be easily accessible from a computer at home so that we can see both the photo when we want and send us some grandmother for example.

    Does anyone have or know a Setup program as described? We are willing to invest and have considered purchasing a Synology appliance for our backups etc already. One of the iPhone is an iPhone 4 which is still ok, so if possible, we would like to keep for a while, the other is an SE. The two MacBook are completely up to date.

    Thanks in advance!

I have no problem with the same version installed on my laptop.

    How can I get Firefox looking for my computer for the plugins that are already there?

    Adobe Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, active Firefox IE that made me concerned that would cause problems that our just leave me where I am now, instance where IE can use a bottle but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a version of the Flash player ActiveX plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
