• Getting started with VMWARE

  Hello, I'm just getting started with VMWARE. I downloaded VMWARE server I would ask what book would be a good book to start? I'm looking for something that will tell me how to install and configure VMWARE server for a beinger. Thoughts?

  Welcome to the Forums!

  You can find lots of good information on vmware server on vmware website located here:

  http://www.VMware.com/support/pubs/server_pubs.html

  This is the ' book online' real provided by vmware:

  http://pubs.VMware.com/Server1/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm

  You'll find everything you need to know with the basic.  There are a few books out there, but they are not up-to-date regarding new versions of Vmware Server.  Most users always seem to use Workstation or "free ESXi.  You get free ESXi 60 days fully unlocked and I use it in my lab at home virtualized on vmware workstation.  I think you could do the same with vmware server, but never did.

  The only good book I could find was this:

  http://www.Amazon.com/Professional-VMware-Server-Programmer/DP/0470079886/ref=pd_sim_b_1# _

  I hope this helps and happy virtualization.

  See you soon,.

  I try to get online with a home group. My system works with my group?

  Hi Babbleson,

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2. what happens when you try to create a home group?

  A homegroup is a group of computers on a home network that can share files and printers. With the help of a group residential allows for easier sharing. You can share photos, music, videos, documents, and printers with other people in your homegroup.

  PCs must be running Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows RT or to participate in a homegroup. Homegroup is available in all editions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.

• How to get started with vmware in the SMB

  Hello world

  I read through this forum to help me understand more about vmware. I think that I have only a very basic understanding of vmware, so ask your recommendations for the project, I'm about to start.

  We are a company SMB with 3 offices in 3 places. We are about to implement a new software which runs on separate SQL 2005 servers in all 3 offices.

  I intend to provide all 3 offices with a similar configuration and have the servers SQL replicated during the night.

  The necessary servers are SQL server, file server and license server.

  The material I've been watching is DELL R710 or PE2950III PE. The number of people using the software would be about 5 to 6 for each office.

  Now, my goal is to move finally all our servers in a virtual machine, but to keep it simple for now, let me just start with what it takes for my project.

  My plan is to buy 1 server for each office and make them run 2 VMs each (SQL, Server license). With respect to the file server, I could use the local storage of the physical server.

  I am aware that this configuration will give me any redundancy in the case of a material error in the physical machine, but I'm hoping to expand my setup with the budget for the next fiscal year and buy the redundant servers.

  So I'm trying to get to the top and now works with spending too much on the material, but I still want to be able to move to a business solution from vmware that allows me to move VM is 1 physical machine to another, etc..

  I wonder now, what software to use for my project. I've been mainly reading on ESX and ESXi. I was looking at the license to the Foundation, but not sure that ESXi makes much sense at all if I have my VMs on 1 physical computer only.

  Then the VMware Server would be a better solution for me? If I decide to VMWare Server, can I still upgrade ESXi later?

  If I go with ESXi, I understand that I can have embedded it or installed. I guess that I can't use the local file storage when using the embedded version of ESXi?

  If I install ESXi, however, I have to start in Win Server 2003 or 2008 first that requires a separate license again and then install ESXi on its own partition on a Raid1 array. I would then use a Raid 5 for all virtual machines.

  Also with ESXi, would I be able to upgrade to a later version of ESXi with my setup? I guess that all the virtual machines must be stopped for an upgrade to ESXi?

  Appreciate any advice.

  See you soon

  Yes, this seems a sensible approach. As you are new to do this of course, you understand the different options of ESX here because it can be a little confusing to start. Going with Vmware server path would be much more disruptive in the future that you will suffer more downtime to make the change. Just to be clear, VMware Server is one where we have an application that runs on Windows (or Linux) to provide the functionality of virtualization. ESX or otherwise runs directly on the hardware.

  ESXi free edition, this may be an option for you initially, but you can not manage it with vCenter. You must use the VI Client directly to each box, failed to get the enterprise as vmotion etc features. With a single server, initially, this could be a good starting point.

  With paid for ESX you will have many other options, note the ESX layer features are essentially the same although we allow them just allows you to add the other stuff by taking the commercial offer.

  At this point it is assumed that you have vCenter somehow, so you will need a Windows Server to the host which can be a virtual machine if you want. If you started with the edition free is simply a matter of connection of the device of vCenter for ESXi nodes and they get activated with the management features - no downtime is necessary.

  Then you have 2 choices for ESXi

  (1) install on HDD or USB

  (2) buy what it come pre-installed with your server.

  The question is then what edition you purchase. We have some packages SMB has been called Essentials or Essentials more, but they are limited to a maximum of three servers altogether, it would be ok for you in you're first scenario but if you then want to make each site two nodes, so you'd not nowhere to go, a nd currently is not a licensing mechanism to upgrade , that's why I suggest you seriously consider 'Standard '.

• Getting started with VMware ESXi

  Please forgive me, because I'm just getting started with virtualization in the data center (ESX and ESXi). I been using virtualization desktop and server (player and GSX Server and Workstation) for several years now and I'd like to see if ESXi would be a good choice for an amateur system in order to use a training platform.

  Are my limited infrastructure management tools, or are there third-party or community free equivalents that will make the most much (not necessarily all) Infrastructure functions for me getting started with ESXi? I can't afford the cost of a license of Infrastructure to learn just the platform and also have a few questions regarding the ESXi environment.

  ESXi abstract everything, or I can pass through some devices (for example, a map of Zaptel for VoIP Asterisk) to a guest operating system? That would be my only reason for the use of a Linux host and stick with VMware Server instead of going completely virtual.

  Any assistance to the start-up, as well as good resources for someone new data center virtualization (no virtualization in general) would be very appreciated. I tried to read some briefs VMware tech directly, and a part of the documentation can be downright confusing.

  Thanks in advance, and I look forward to the next meeting.

  Gerry,

  Looks like you have one of two problems:

  1. The VMware Server service does not work. You can check this by opening Windows Services console (start > run > services.msc) and find names of service starting with "VMware".... »

  2. Your hostname cannot solve on your local machine. Try going to https://localhost:8333 / ui /

• I was signed up for a VIP contract in the segment of commercial lot (instead of Government) and I need to cancel and get a refund. Customer service failed completely and repeatedly help, where should I go next?

  I manage the licenses for a local public body, last March, I needed to purchase subscriptions of Photoshop on behalf of my colleagues - they have received funding to pay for 2 years paid for 2 users. I ordered 2 subscriptions directly with Adobe and, after a few issues quickly resolved with the agreement of VIP, my users were running (actually that one user, as else the subscription has never been used).

  In November, my existing user wanted to update their Photoshop to the full Suite of creative Cloud and needing another Acrobat and InDesign user. I approached my LAR usual for a quote and given our VIP number, only to be told that the number belonged to an agreement for the Commercial market sector, not the Government. Note that fresh Adobe less under Government that under Commercial, so I paid more than I should have and I thought it is more equitable for Adobe to refund the difference and convert the above agreement or cancel it and put in place a new. I was not asking for a full refund (including the yet unassigned Photoshop), just the extra we should never have been charged.

  Because I couldn't quickly a solution through the Adobe customer service team, and my attempts to contact the seller who handled the initial order has not responded, my LAR put in place a new agreement of VIP under the Government sector and sold me the required subscriptions.

  I turn now to the end of the first year of the initial agreement and despite several attempts by me to get a resolution from Adobe (usually ending with "I'll call you back" - who never happened), I just got an email telling me my case has been resolved and closed.

  Is there anyone or anyone can help me before I have to send the question to our Legal Department?

  The problem has been resolved, case # 0217945255

  Please do not hesitate to let us know in case of any problem.

  }

  I can find out the name and the list of privileges, but not completely due to the long list of Privlieges for certain roles. I'm out like {xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...}

  As it then not be able to see full privileges.

  If single role that I want to see, then I can run the command get-ferrule-name admin | Select - expandproperty PrivilegeList

  Above command will list the perfect performance. But this command cannot be used for loop with the parameter 'Name '.

• 'Group membership' does not get assigned to the user

  Hello
  
  Currently, we are implementing the authentication of the external table through single sign-on (SSO) as part of our security.
  In our portal, we have columns username, groupname and businessunit.
  
  As part of the implementation, I created the initialization of authentication block so that it stores the user name in the USER session variable.
  
  Select the username from usertable where upper (username) = upper(':USER');
  
  Then, I created a block of initialization of authorization in order to set the groupname. For this I used
  
  Select "group", groupname from usertable where upper (username) = upper(':USER');
  
  Now, when a user opens a session in SSO mode the user is redirected to the dashboard and initialization authentication block seems to work very well the USER session variable displays the corresponding username. Now when the user clicks on 'My account' and see his membership in a group, may not see his name of group that has been defined in the groupname column in the userstable. My scenario is similar to
  
  username GroupName businessunit
  
  x users with power Marketing
  Users are financial Mega
  
  
  
  For example, when the user opens a session x, it should be able to see its membership in the power users group. In this case I could assign privileges to these groups through the administration screen and my security.
  
  Can you get it someone please let me know where I am going wrong?
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  Try the debugging session.
  When you log on to the dashboard checks if the value stored in the GROUP session variable. If there is no value, I think that the user permissions are overridden. Normally users defined in the repository are priority to those coming from authentication to the external table. Make sure that the user you logged in with is not part of the repository (DPR) and comes via authentication external table.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

  Thank you
