Move the disks from 4.0 to 4.1 Server

Hello all-

I was wondering what to expect with my migration to a new server esxi 4.1. I am running esxi 4.0 with two disks of data with all my s vm in data warehouses. The 4.1 server is built and ready to go, can I just physically move the disks to the new server and it will recognize that they are already setup with data on board or he'll want to reformat the discs when he sees them? I hope that it leaves everything intact and I can just reattach the existing virtual machine. I have all the vm saved in any case to another location on the drive just in case.

Thanks for any idea that you can provide.

John

It should work exactly as you described.

After setting the record, ESXi should be viewed as VMFS in "Configuration" data warehouses--> "of storage. All you have to do is to add virtual machines to inventory, by right clicking on the vmx files.

EDIT: I guess that you have single disks. If you have a RAID configuration, ESX hosts must see logical volumes after reboot.

  • Move the HD from one office to another desktop computer

    It is a question about moving the files & applications from one desktop to another. I try to get 1 year of use of existing & software equipment.

    I have an office of stand-alone Dell old 12 years with Windows XP that I use every day at home. I have an old Dell Office of 7 years with XP & no apps or files that I have gained from the work that I do not use.

    I guess the older machine is sick because I have to reset the clock each time I boot Windows. It seems to work otherwise. I want to act before the death of the sick machine.

    A method that I am considering moves chips drive & memory fixed older machine to the latest machine. These two components are less than 3 years. I replaced a fixed disk damaged & added some memory.

    The other method I see is to copy the contents of the fixed disk on the sick machine on the newer machine fixed drive, leaving the components in place.

    I know I need to buy new hardware and new software. I would wait 10 Windows.

    I'd like suggestions on the simple, reliable and cost-effective method to buy more time by using existing hardware.

    To move the data from the user, just install the xp installation cd, search for "other tasks" in the

    menu, search for "File Transfer Wizard", set the pc as old pc, select the file to save, save files

    in a new folder that you created, once its through, out of xp cd. Move the new folder to a cd

    Once through, on the new pc, install the xp installation cd, locate the file transfer, set the new pc, select

    to search for files, installation cd with user data, find the folder on cd, install FTW

    It automatically... Best bet is to run FTW on a new user account, and then move the files to the other as

    necessary. It's one way, others, install the HD from old pc to new, HD set as slave,

    with the HD as a slave, the data can be used with the operating system.

    Windows 10 is already available.

    First, make sure the taskbar don't are not "locked"...
    Right-click on an open space of the taskbar > make sure there is no checkmark at "lock the taskbar".

  • How to move the FILE from one place to another and keep "Indexing" have to move to the unknown location so you can't discover its full file path? Windows instructions provide information wrong re: how to do this!

    Make a bunch of audio files, placed in a folder on my desktop. Files initially sent to RealPlayer to burn, but when finished burning CD and went to read a CD, folder got seized by Media Player, 'Indexed' and disappeared from the office. I'm a relatively new computer user, and I need to learn more about file paths, how to view the path FULL of a file on my computer and how to type (create) full path when I need to. The "Indexing" feature seems to erase this lesson for me, and after having spent four hours trying to find Vista instructions on "How to move the file from one place to another", I gave up! Windows 'Help and Support' on my computer gives wrong directions. It states that if I right click on a folder > properties, a dialog box opens with a tab by which I can move my account. There is no tab location here. I found locations tab when right click on the "Mobile" folder, but still no option to "move file". No idea what is the folder "Roaming" or why it's on my computer. I want my audio files in the My Music folder, but this place is "access denied." Don't know how to get the audio file it in any case, but if anyone has any advice, I would be very happy! Thank you. PS - I had no problem moving folders in XP. I don't like the idea that a computer is to decide where to put my files. I want to control where I put my files. I don't like the way search works under Vista. I liked the XP search companion better because, for a computer fool like me, it was really easy to organize and find files and folders and had an option specific to find audio and video file TYPES.

  • Move the HDD from 510 a Pavilion to Pavilion 1600n

    I have a Pavilion 510a and a 1600n. Is it possible to move the HARD drive from the 510 the 1600n? I have a license of group o/s (XP) installed on both of these computers. Just trying to save a little money. Thank you!

    Hello 1dumbguy, first of all, let me mention the links you list are not valid. But to your question.

    Specifications of 510 showed he has a 40 GB IDE hard drive. The specifications can be found here .

    The 1600n specs show that it has some Sata ports, but also some IDE connectors as well.

    The 1600n printer specifications can be found here .

    You should be able to remove the hard disk of 40 GB IDE and ribbon cable and install it in the case of 1600n, if there is a place to mount the hard disk of 40 GB.

    You must install ribbon cable into the primary IDE connector port and also make sure that the spindle of the rider on the 40 GB hard drive is set to selection of cables (CS), if not already.

    Restart the system and enter the BIOS and see if the hard disk of 40 GB is recogonized and in the Group of hard drive.

    Then restart the system and when your desktop appears, go to the computer and see Windows recogonizes 40 GB hard drive. If so, the drive letter may be different from what you would expect.

    Just select the 40 GB hard drive and select sharing for this disc, and if your C: drive is already shared, you should now be able to access the hard drive files may be desired, then transfer the files back and forth on hard drives.

  • Move the data from Palm Z22 for palm M125

    My Palm Z22 batteries do not hold a charge.  I recently bought a Palm M125, but have been unable to transfer data from the Z22, the M125.  My op system is Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition processor.  Is it possible to move the data?

    If the Z22 still works, the best way to transfer your data is for her beam to the M125.  At least, for the PIM of Palm of basic data (e.g., calendar, Contacts, memos, to-(tasks)).   On the Z22 in calendar, switch to the display of the day (not the order of the day).  In the menu, select the category of beam, choose the date range and select all from the drop-down list category.  Make sure that receiving IR is selected in the receiving device.  Align them face to face on one foot out and tap the beam.

    In Contacts, select the category in the upper right, then open the Menu and select the category of beam.  Same process for tasks and memos.

    Data and third-party applications might not let u their beam.   In addition, you will a newer device a lot older with an older operating system that may not work new apps.  So, after you transfer your PIM data, try beaming your third-party apps at a time to see if they run again.  The Z22 Launcher screen (at home), open the Menu, and then select the beam.  Highlight apps one at a time and try to beam at the M125.  My guess is that apps like Documents To Go might not even run, if they let u beam, because they were written for the newer versions of Palm OS than what works the M125.

    There is also an upgrade process where you can do this thru Palm Desktop when you switch devices.   But again because once you go towards the back to an older device, there are some compatibility issues with the applications, databases and files of the system, not to mention the questions according to what version you use Palm Desktop.

    Let us know if ensoupler works, or if you encounter any problems, in this case, we can go to the ugrade process.  Also, let us know what version of Palm Desktop you will synchronize with.

    Hello ohgioia2, here is a link that contains information. I don't know if that's enough to get the last memory module.

    I don't think you would need to completely remove the DVD disc, but just push forward enough to access the memory.

  • Pass the disk from ReadyNAS 104 again ReadyNAS 104 #26210568

    I just got a replacement from the ReadyNAS 104 factory. I swapped the drives ensuring that I kept the disc # correct. However, when I start the new NAS he don't know the discs. I need to "turn up the volume. However, I fear that will erase the data. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Hello ckovel,

    When you insert the disc on another chassis that is with the same model, you must insert them all to their respective bays before initializing the NAS. NAS should display disks and volume load.

    If this is not the case, one possible reason is the chassis and the disks do not have the same version of firmware.

    You should still be able to get support for it since it is to install the replacement. It is best that you contact the helpdesk to guide you through it. Use the previous case, it can be reopened and increase if necessary.

  • How can I move the folders from Windows XP that contains "Live Mail" e-mail files to a different location than C:\Document and Setings\...?

    I just migrated my PC Windows XP "Outlook Express" to "Live Mail" and the migration went really well - the progress of conversion migrated without any human intervention my thousands and thousands of emails, my many Email of OE, my address book files.

    I have however a problem and are not top-of-now a solution for this.

    With Outlook Express, files of Windows XP with my emails were on another Partition of Disk Partition c.  It is important for me, for all the 'application data' (for example, all emails) stored in another partition of the disc the C partition. Because if trouble with newly installed software (for example a beta Version of the software), I can use a backup of my C Partition and restore it without losing the data of the application (for example without losing everything new emails).

    Question 1: With "Live Mail", can I keep my emails to another folder of Windows XP as the standard C:\Document and Settings\... file? If Yes: How can I do this?

    Question 2: Is this whole "C:\Document and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Local settings\application data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail" folder that I can move to another location?

    Where can I get information on these topics?

    Thank you for an answer.

    My apologies. I was finally able to find a description on how to move the folder containg XP on the Web e-mail "Live Mail".
