• P2V a server that uses a San disk is the same SAN as VMWare... no problem?

  My physical mailbox is called FILESERVER and it was low on space, so I created a disc on my VMWare cluster SAN is on.

  Now I want this server P2V.  It's going to be a problem being that one of the drives is already on the SAN?  Otherwise, once it is converted is just turn off the physical and the deletion of this volume now unused on the SAN?

  ESX3.5 U5 currently with virtualcenter 4

  Thank you!

  That will be no problem and the Siu is as simple as that, once you P2V - remove the volume not used.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

• vCenter Server and Manager on the same virtual machine and on the same host ESXi update that they manage

  Hi all

  I have a question to which I did not respond.

  I have an ESXi 5 on Proliant DL380 G7 server host. I want to install vCenter Server and Manager Update on one of the Server 2008 R2 VM on the same host. I know it's possible, but my question is how Update manager will provide updates to the same ESXi host it will run on? The update is applied every time host must spend in maintenance mode and power off the virtual computer running on this subject which means he'll kill VM where vCenter Server and Update Manager is running and the update will fail right?

  Is that possible at all or the VCS and UM such as a virtual computer operating point is updated to other guests if you have them or vMotion as VM to another host when you want to update the VCS and UM host is running?

  Thanks in advance.

  It will not work.  You will need at least two hosts.  This way you can vMotion the vCenter VM to another host.  From there, you can use VUM.  Otherwise, you will need to patch the host as a stand-alone host.

  See below for patching a standalone host

• Can migrate a virtual computer to another virtual hosted by the same host computer?

  Deal all,

  I have two questions and I need your help.

  (1) I wonder if a virtual machine can be migrated to another virtual machine that are hosted by the same host ESXi 5.0? (The host has a local hard drive). If possible, how?

  (2) if I have two stand-alone ESXi hosts (host A and B), each host has DAS (local storage) respectively. If the VLC Player is running on a virtual hosted by host A computer and playing a video stream from the Internet, (it is not at all access local storage). This virtual machine can be migrated to host B? (Suppose vCenter is installed)

  Any response will be appreciated.

  Cheng

  You can clone this VM VM A i.e (require vCenter or vmkfstools allows you to clone the drive ONLY) and name VM B. do you want on original VM. Something happened to A VM, VM B you Savior.

  vStorage the device (here). It will use your local or DAS.

• [HELP] SMV disappeared after restart of the host - 5.5 ESXI, Vcenter Server to the same host

  I restarted the ESXI using classic Vsphere Client. Now, all virtual machines have disappeared. I tried to connect with Vsphere Client and workstation and the list is empty. I can't access the Vcenter server since it is a virtual machine that resides in the home.

  The data store is a local disk. The data store is still there and the amount of disk space used is correct. I don't see the virtual machines in the inventory. I have re-installed ESXI 5.5, refreshed of store data and what not, there is nothing there. I am freaking out and don't know what to do.

  EDIT: I am able to navigate the data store manually by creating the new virtual machine and select the existing virtual machine following this guide but I'm not sure what is the reason for which the files would be missing or corrupt

  http://techhead.co/VMware-ESX-how-to-easily-recreate-a-missing-or-corrupt-vmx-file/

  When you browse the data store you see the virtual machine and their records?

  If you see the virtual computer files, you can open the folder, right click on the .vmx file and select Add to the inventory. who will get your VM in the inventory.

• Re: Satellite Pro A40 - can I change the HARD disk or the same model?

  Hi Forum,

  do I have to wait for safe trouble by changing the hard disk between the following laptops:

  old or damaged laptop:
  SPA40 model PSA45E - 0013T - number GR
  Series No. 34127882 H

  new/own laptop
  SPA40 PSA45E-001VM-GR model number
  Series N0.34117607H

  Thanks in advance for your advice

  Concerning

  You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
  On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

  Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

• Windows allocate two disks with the same letter

  I had a systems problem where the computer would not be arrested because of the computer by providing two different players with the same ID letter ("F") during the race. The program kept asking I have reformat the drive "F". I had a former player ID'd as ('' F ''), I accepted. When the computer has been restarted I had reformatted the bad drive which was not initially ID had as player ("F").

  I get a message stating, Windows has assigned a drive letter for the U3 drive that already has another on your computer, or there is no more available on this machine drive letter. Try disconnecting that drives any network that you have connected to your computer, and then restart U3 by double clicking on launch 3. exe or the U3 icon of the CD-ROM system. Once the U3 Launchpad is running, you can reconnect the network drives.

  I deleted all the additional disks (4) and restarted the computer and still get the same message with all the drives removed. I followed the instructions as guest above and restarted the computer and still get the same message.

  The line above also comes with a troubleshooting option button, but when I select this it takes me to the Web and trying to sell me U3 drives.

  How to resolve this conflict.

  Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / disk (with the drive plugged already of course) and make sure that the screen is maximized and then press the PRTSCR button.  Then click on start / all programs / Accessories / Paint and open and right click on the area map and click on paste to create an image of screenshot of disk management.  Enregistrer save as Disk Manager, then select it. JPG file type and put it on your desk at the moment.  Then, go tohttp://skydrive.live.com/ and open a free SkyDrive account if you do not already have one, then add the. JPG file to a folder on SkyDrive.  Click on the file and on the bottom right, it will provide information on the file whose link to access. Please copy this link and post it here in your next reply so I can see for myself rather than ask a thousand questions on what he says.

  I don't see how you could have used all the letters of reader available unless you have drives mapped to all kinds of network locations or even just disks, partitions or folders on your own computer (but a lot of them).  How many local mapped make you thing you have (as opposed to say the computer)?  I also don't understand how the system can assign the same letter to two different drives, partitions, networkk places, records or other in all circumstances - something is wrong and I don't know what it is given the information available at this stage.  Maybe see Disk Manager will help you.  Which version of Vista you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2)?

  Thanks and good luck!

• How to run customer and display on the same host server

  I know it's simple, no doubt, but I can't find the answer on the Internet. I am running BB 1.9i. Recently, I noticed that my server to display some of the customer was not run tests, as I expected. After some checking, I decided that it was because these customer scripts were not in the configuration of the server. My first inclination was to just add them. However, after a bit of research on the Internet, I have seen many people claiming that the client and the server must be kept in separate directories. So, I created another directory and my client config untarred it. I took care of bb-hosts was correct and then I tried to run runbb.sh in the client. He has already said a running process of Big Brother and abandoned.

  Could someone point out what step am I missing or a link to a web page that explains the procedure for configuring a client on the server to display?

  Kind regards

  Brad

  Hmmmm... only, you should be able to install archive of bbclient (at the same level as your bbserver). Copy the bb-hosts of your BB server and. / runbb.sh.

  You should only get this message "already running", if a client is already running (not the server).

• S130 rebuild with 2 virtual disks on the same disk array

  Hi all

  I have 6 drives 750 GB sata in raid 10 with a s130 controller.

  There is a 100 GB virtual disk and a virtual disk of 2 TB.

  One of the drives has failed, so I replaced it with a new drive.

  I have assigned the new disc on the first virtual disk, and this re-built very well. But he'll also let me assign the remaining space on the new disk on the second virtual drive in the table, it is said that there is no available free disk?

  What can I do here?

  Thank you

  Hi NET1K

  It seems that the hard drive that is not in the disk of your virtual disk group 2 (VD).

  You may need to put the reader that you have assigned to rebuild the first VD and assign it as a global hot spare to rebuild your disk, instead of virtual disk group offline.

  Before doing the procedure reversed, please backup you made recent data.

• Mixed disk VSANS on the same host groups?

  Hello, I have been sent VSAN for about a year now, running version 6.0

  Current configuration is

  3 guests, 3 in each and 7 1 TB SATA disks in each Enterprise SSD. Performance is very good.

  Boss questioned the addition of the two hosts more and obtaining some flash VSAN all. Is it possible

  Add 2 more guests, each with 3 enterprise SSD, SSD 7 and 14 1 TB SATA drives value and replace 7 the 1 TB SATA drives in 3 other guests with value SSD and that will get me two VSANS data warehouses? One with all and 1 flash which is a hybrid? Or do I need 3 new guests air conditioned and equipped with SSD to meet this demand?

  It is not possible to mix the hybrids and the groups of flash drives like this, I'm afraid.

  you will need to create a new cluster with new hosts all-flash.

  the two groups could be managed by the same VC however

• Raw disk used by the prompt on the same host, broadcasts available on other hosts in the Cluster

  We have a Cluster of MS using RDMs in a host cluster ESXi 4.1 5.  The RDM physical Mode, on a guest on hostA, the storage is presented to the host b, hostC, pass, hostA, hostE.

  It has always been my understanding (and I saw with other RDMs in the past) when a ROW gets used by a hostA of comments, it will be posted is no longer in the pool of strage avalible under the window "Add Storage" on the host b.-e... I would still be able to see as RDM LUN if I went to a guest and added another hard drive, but the host would no longer display it as storage avalible.

  It is confirmed in the following article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1016222

  In my scenario, I can still see the storage that has been given to a guest on HostA as a RDM on hostsB-E in the add storage window. (this cause some problems when let storage recover 'unused' LUNS and storage that has been considered as non-allocated was actually released several guests as RDM.)

  The article suggests that this occurs when the storage is not presented consistently on all hosts in a cluster.  We use EMC FC storage, and my storage administrators swear that LUNS are the same for all hosts in my cluster.

  I search in the KB articles information and empty to come... I'll open a case with VMware, but was wondering if someone else has experienced problems similar, and that has been done on your side to solve (and hopefully help someone to avoid any similar problems)

  In addition, there is an easy way to compare points of view "Add Storage" of all hosts in a cluster to verify that they see the same unallocated storage?

  No, if the number of LUNs and the naa numbers game (don't forget the 16 and the last 8 digits of number of naa are still the same according to the table), you can have row filtering disabled Please check

  The values below the default values are true

  • In the vSphere Client, select Administration > vCenter Server settings > Advanced settings.
  • According to your needs, add one of the following or the two key-value pairs:
  • config.vpxd.filter.rdmFilter; fake
  • config.vpxd.filter.vmfsFilter; fake

• Question about CS5.5 to another hard disk on the same PC

  I would spend my CS5.5 to another drive on the same system, purely a matter of real estate on the C drive, now piled up. I have a 1 terabyte of disk I want to spend this sequel to. I don't know that I have to disable and uninstall before that and hope CS5.5 can live on non - C drive as well.

  Apart from disabling, what other factors could I be dominant? Thank you in advance.
