Looking for advice on my lab with ESXi 5 free

Hi all

I would like to know if I need a license to just virtualize machines in my scenario.

My goals:

  • All virtualized Machines, I will not use virtualization features, I want just the availability virtualize my machines, I don't care management or vmotion. I know that in a production environment is not a good practice, but like I said, I just want a maximum of my machines.

Here I show my laboratory structure:

Servers:

  • I have 2 servers with the following configuration:
    • Intel Xeon 2630 V2
    • Motherboard S2600CP2
    • 64 GB OF RAM
    • 4 1 TB HDs
    • 1 SSD 240 GB HD
    • 2 10/100/1000 integrated network in the motherboard cards
  • I have 1 server with the following configuration:
    • Intel Xeon 1356 - E5 07v2V2 24
    • Card mother Intel S2400SC2
    • 64 GB OF RAM
    • HD 1 TB
    • 2 10/100/1000 integrated network in the motherboard cards

Switches

All the switches used will be of Juniper Networks

  • Thorns:
    • following 2 switches with port configuration:
      • 24 ports QSFP +.
  • Leafs
    • 3 following switches with port configuration:
      • 48 SFP / SFP ports +.
      • 2 uplinks QSFP + to connect on thorns switches

You can see a summary of my lab demonstration at the laboratory of attached file '. '. PNG ".

My doubts:

WARNING: This is not legal advise and you're not my client. My TAM has confirmed that you can use unlimited ESXi licenses for your current setup without any problems. Please login to the portal of VMware and ask your ESXi unlimited licenses. Don't forget that you will need licenses paid if in the future you decide to deploy vCenter to manage these hosts and use of advanced features such as HA, vMotion. Feel free to ask more questions.

    Thanks for any help on this.

    @Paul80, welcome to the forum.

    Here's memory and SSD who are recommended by Crucial memory.  They make great products for OEM computers.  You have to open the case and check of installed memory brand.  Then contact the Crucial Tech Support to see if their memory will be compatible.  The main problem with the addition of memory, it's buy the memory that is compatible with existing modules.

    The best way to install the SSD, it's letting the existing connected HARD disk as it came from the factory.  Connect the SSD drive to another SATA port on the motherboard.  Install the cloning software that you will use on the HARD drive.  Open and select the SSD as target disk.  Once the SSD is cloned, disconnect the HARD drive and start.  The start of shoul for the SSD system.

    As for a video, here is a card that has very good reviews.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  It should work well with your power supply unit (PSU).

    I put t know exactly what you want to do, but I assume that you need this card for an upgrade.
    New bad guy! Laptop graphics cards are often fixed on the motherboard and cannot be deleted!
    In addition, you must know that the mobile graphics cards are simply different and you can't compare these chips with adapters for desktop PCs.

    Hi all

    Looking for a help and advice for a rookie to vmware

    We have just purchsed 3 x DL380 G8 each with 8 x 1 TB HARD drive no storage shared, and we are currently approved for most part more packs 2 x.

    What I wanted to do was to reproduce some VM so if one breaks down then we can either manually or automatically start another on another host. I'd like to reproduce our exchange 2010 essentially server but that is currently on the phyiscal material and I would need to first do a P2V conversion. I also read a few negative articles on running exchange on a virtual computer.

    I had read a little and looks like FT is outside the quetsion because of having not shared storage in place and there is also the limitation of 1vcpu. So I was wondering where to start really. For any tips, pointers, etc. will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the communities...

    As you use Essentials Plus, you can order vSphere Storage Appliance you can use a shared storage. Make sure that the hardware is compatiable with vSA (http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/12/major-hcl-changes-for-the-vsphere-storage-appliance-vsa.html)

  • Looking for advice of vector drawing tablet

    Hi all

    I use CS4 for awhile now (to most of my free time) and have gotten quite into drawing cartoon versions of friends, family, etc. I work just from photographs in the past and have generally used Illustrator to achieve this.

    My results up to now look like this: http://crockstarlimited.com/blog/about/ (sorry, these are the only examples that I have online at the moment). I asked about how to improve my technique for this, and so my question is double:

    1. anyone who has used a drawing tablet (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-UPTZ431W-Intuos-3-Digital-Writing/dp/B001NANLOI)? If so, do you have recommendations on what to look for or who is particularly good?

    2. does anyone have advice for this style of drawing?

    know how to use Photoshop instead of Illustrator?

    Thanks much for any help you can provide!

    Crock

    Illustrator by far. You have much more control over your drawing in a vector program. Changes are easier. You can still import the PS more later to add effects. All digital illustrators I never contracted with that worked in artificial intelligence without exception. The main file is always vector they can bring an image in PS for some added effects. But the top of the line illustrators can do incredible effects in artificial intelligence without ever entering Psalm

  • Manufacturing of the simpler regions on a map of the world... looking for advice

    Hello, I use a card world that initially came is Wikimedia: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BlankMap - World - Microstates.svg or istockphoto, I don't remember which exactly but they are both built in the same way - where each country in a general field is grouped.

    I want to associate groups of different countries in the regions, as in the example of Asia in the image attached to this issue. Countries have thin lines as borders, what I'm looking for the easiest way to delete and merge into a single plan.

    This will finally on the web as an image vector interactive mouseover (have not yet decided on flash or javascript, canvas, svg, vml), so removing the extra points are essential in the size of the file and maintainability.   Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Court

    (PS: I had actually posted a similar question before, but this card seems to me does not make the process explained to me previously.)  Since each country has it's own/track of the border, I can't use the Scout to solve)

    I still don't see your image after, but one thing you might want to check before you apply the pathfinder is to see if the accident vascular cerebral/sketch of the country has been extended to a path and if so, make sure that you also select those with the forms of the country. I came across some images of stock vector map, which is the case. If this isn't the case, and your forms simply do not match very well, a quick way to get rid of all the borders remain unwanted would choose the resulting shape you created using Pathfinder and selecting the brush of Blog (assuming you have CS4) with her has the same color as the fill color of the shape you want and just painted on gaps. It would be much faster to try to remove it with the pen tool.

    Larry,

  • Student looking for advice

    I am the proud new owner of Adobe Production Premium and want everything to work as easily as possible. I hunted around for some and found a few recommendations, but many of them are simply not practical for my situation and budget. My hope is that members of the forum can help me understand what my options are.

    Material

    So, what I have for the material is not the greatest, but it was also good that a deal I could get at a price I could afford:

    Dell XPS 15 with an i7-740qm (1.7 GHz up to 2.9 with mode)

    6 GB of RAM (I'm sure that of 1300)

    NVIDIA GT 435M

    600 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    (750 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive (external USB 2.0) - not very useful for video editing, I know )-I don't know how I ended up dating Best Buy this one. I knew from the beginning that I would like something more quickly. Moment of weakness I guess.

    As a note, the XPS 15 has 2 USB 3.0 ports and one of these ports eSATA/USB combo. So here's my connection options.

    Budget

    Basically, my budget is as "as good as I can get while being affordable as possible." I'm willing to spend as much as I need to have the experience of a workflow that is usable. If people could give me an idea of what I might get to vary spending varies between $100 and $1000 would be great.

    I can't spend a lot, but I'd rather spend a little more to buy something that would work well, as opposed to the bare minimum expenditures and get something that barely works.

    What I'm working with

    Mostly 1080 p AVCHD from Panasonic hmc150. I know that can be a bit much for my system, but a guy can hope, right? I peut (but not too likely, especially if I have to spend more than I was expecting for the edition of solutions) buy my own camera and use it. In this case, it would almost certainly be a (T3i/T2i) DSLR, which as I understand it got too difficult to work with codecs.

    I use my system to edit video, create effects visuals (more or less complex, including the 3D compositing) and live action, as well as all other tasks related to the creation of films and videos.

    I'm looking for

    At this point, I can't not realistic look at the purchase of another computer. As I use a laptop, there is not much I can do to upgrade options either. So, I hope that what I have is it usable. If what I absolutely will not work, I guess I'll have to consider shooting in 720 or * shudder * SD .
    What I'm looking for so is hard drives. How do I absolutely need, what I should get, and how do I configure my system/Adobe to better use the readers I have and would need to get?
    Experience up to now
    I tried a few test footage with my setup current (all on the internal drive) and comes to the conclusion that I should probably make something. It seems that as soon as I start to do anything After related Effects or add simply no effect whatsoever, my system starts badly. It makes me wonder how can my school of aging of the Mac Pro with pitiful amounts of old dated pretty processors and RAM manage working with the same images in FCP. In this case the film is stored on the server of the institution, that I don't know the technical details.
    So, apologies for the post of ginormous and sincere hope that someone (s) can help me understand this stuff.
    Thank you very much!

  • If you are looking for how to encrypt PDF with certificate

    Hello

    I'm looking for any documentation that explains clearly how encrypt/decrypt; in my case:

    -a person does PDF (with her small hands and Acrobat 9 Pro) and to quantify;

    -the document is attached to a Microsoft Sharepoint Portal;

    -users who have the certificate on this computer can read.

    The idea is to secure the documents inside the area and when the users come back home with a key player that contains an encrypted PDF file, they cannot read.

    I tried in several ways: using AD local certificate made with Acrobat, but even on the same computer with different user profiles, I can encrypt, but not decrypt.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • You are looking for advice or suggestions: Vmware View 4 lab on workstation 7.

    Hi guys,.

    I want to build a new laboratory virtualized on a new desktop that I ordered.  I especially want to us to do tests and the growth of knowledge on Vmware View.  I have a desktop HP on order with an i7-930 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  I also have a 7 of my cert VCP 4 Workstation license.

    I already know how build a virtualized ESX environment and allow the MV nested within this environment.  My lesson plans are to build two ESX 4 virtual machines, a VM vCenter, a virtual shared storage as a storage device and a server VMware View connection.   I think there should be enough resources on this box to have a work environment (although maybe slow).  I plan only to have two virtual desktops (XP).  I don't need virtual machines to do something more than it is, run and be able to communicate with them with PCoIP XP.

    I was hoping someone else might have already tried this and had no additional details.  If this isn't the case, I'd love to hear any suggestions.  I intend to document this lab and I'll be happy to share this document with everyone when I'm done...

    Best regards

    Rick

    I have implemented this on a laptop several times. Laptops have 8 GB of memory and it was barely enough to make it usable. ; Your 16 GB of system memory and faster CPU will give you much more room to breathe

    Tip: I cut about 20% of the CPU usage on the ESX host nested running under Workstation 7 on Dell D830 computers laptops with processors T7250 in manually choosing the type of VT for ESX hosts nested rather than leave the setting at the default of Automatic.

    Also, if it is not necessary to VMotion, you could get a super-quick card Flash or SSD and point that flash all the temp, swap files and VSWP files. SSD. Someone has recently published an article on the difference in speed - Google and you will see what kind of speed increase you could get out your configuration if you are willing to spend that kind of money for quick storage.

  • Almost done with my first vid. Looking for advice on the ending credits...

    What I would do for my closing credits, before the band title turnover is to introduce viewers each actor with a 3-4 sec clip their main role in the film without sound (except the background music) and then pause the clip for a few seconds, all text rolls with their name. Not sure if I explained myself well enough, but of course at this point I won't have a problem cutting the clips of the film to be placed at the end, with no background noise (under music). What I can't understand is how pause the video at some point while the music audio is still rolling and then be able to overlay text next to the actor. Thanks in advance.

    I use the following CSS online in my articles multiselect attribute of the form element to HTML - use: style = "height: 274px; width: 300px; " -to lock the size of the element and keep him autosizing.

    I found that this element is not correctly displayed in IE unless the "height: 274px;" is removed from the CSS line. I can't remove that firefox does not correctly without him.
