Networking lab at home ideas?

• Do a lab at home to study CARS... ideas?

  I have been a DBA for about 5 years, but right now I've ever played a lot with CARS. I think to create a lab at home environment to play with him. Ideally, this would let me play with OCS and ASM, too.
  
  Of course, I can't afford a fiber channel SAN, etc.
  
  I was a former Unix Admin, so I'm comfortable working with Linux.
  
  I was thinking about one of the two ways:
  
  (1) do everything with VMWare Player. My office has 6 GB of RAM, so I could probably run a couple of VMs and simulate RAC. I don't know if I need more RAM. I don't know how I could share the drive (you need to investigate which)... I guess I could always fire up to a third of VM and do a NAS server out of it and put the shared on that disk.
  
  (2) I have a Linux server at home and I could build another small box. I have the disk somehow share... NAS (nfs) may be the only affordable option.
  
  Thoughts?

• How to set an MTU of 1600 for test Lab at home for the NSX on Vmware workstation

  Hello.

  I'll set up a laboratory at home to build a laboratory to the NSX. I am running 3 on VMware Workstation 11 Esxi hosts. All three hosts of esxi run each 4 Ethernet adapters on them.

  To configure installation VXlan for my lab at home, I have modified the virtual machine's .vmx file and changed the vmxnet3 device and it works.

  Ethernet1. ConnectionType = "custom".

  Ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000".

  Ethernet1.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".

  Ethernet1. AddressType = 'generated '.

  ethernet2. Present = 'TRUE '.

  ethernet2.VNET = "VMnet1.

  ethernet2. ConnectionType = "custom".

  ethernet2.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" - change to vmxnet3

  Adapter type VMxnet3 only is not supported for VMware workstation and also one of my hosts broke down several times with the low error message in the log file.

  Can someone guide me how to set up a lab NSX on VMware workstation and use 1600 MTU for VXlan traffic. Any help is very appreciated.

  Hi all

  I managed to solve this problem by separating the storage traffic to a different vswitch and the traffic to a different VDS NSX.

• My computer is on a network, but Windows 7 (Pro x 64) shows that it is not. Cannot change network location to home. Cannot use the homegroup.

  I'm putting my network (with homegroup) home, but when I go into control panel > network and Internet > homegroup, it says:

  "This computer cannot connect to a homegroup." Then,

  "To create or join a homegroup, network location of your computer must be on home."

  Okay so. I go to network and sharing Center and click on "connect to a network" and I get a box in the lower right corner that says "no connection available.

  I find that strange, because when I click on 'My Computer', I see in the left pane all the computers in my house under 'Network'... so I'm in network... but I'm not?

  It is a problem because until I am able to add this computer, I am unable to share the data on this computer and it is my office alone AND the pc is connected to my router.

  I can not access my storage drive. I can't stream media.

  All opinions are appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Check the Device Manager for the entry of valid card of the wire.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a Local Area Connection icon/entry, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

  Connect you to the menu of the router from a work computer and make sure DHCP is on, and it is configured to assign IPs which can cover the number of computers that are connected (a bit more will be even better).

  Turn off the computer and the router, reset the router and the computer.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

  It still does not work, try this too.

  Firewall software.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall Windows Firewall should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly, or uninstall it completely allowing the clean flow of traffic on the local network. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  Reset the network stacks .

  Type Cmd in the search text box.

  Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

  Type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt and press the Enter key.

  Do the same process to refresh the TCP/IP, just replace the command typed with.

  netsh int ip reset

  Restart the computer.

• Question about the subscription renewal for vSphere lab Essentials home

  First post on the forum here.  My apologies if this isn't the right place for a question like this.

  I have a lab at home that I have set up using the "VMware vSphere 5 Kit Essentials" that I had bought on the VMware online store.  It was a pretty fun because it let me familiarize themselves with the technology that I use at work without the same consequences for the mistakes of the project.

  To be honest though, I have never much thought about support and subscriptions for it... Setup should really just have to learn and be the main server for my house projects.  The cost for me to buy the Kit of Essentials has been a little more than $500 a year ago, and it seems that my still currently active subscription (my account displays "subscription only" for the Essentials Kit) allows me to download the latest patches and maybe even upgrade to a new major version in the future.  I would like to continue the subscription, as this seems to be more profitable that leave on the subscription and then renew... compared to the initial $ 500, a one or three year renewal looks pretty good - and I'd get to continue to be on the latest versions of the vSphere Essentials.

  I thought it would be as simple as clicking on renew somewhere on my account, but that begins to not look like an option.  I think that I am driven to get in touch with a business partner for the subscription renewals (is this sounding right?).  This seems a bit much for me for a small laboratory at home like mine.  Is the only way to renew a subscription via a partner company?  If I'm completely off track here, please let me know.  If I'm here, does anyone know (or recommend) a partner company that manages small renewals as mine would be?

  Maybe I'm hesitant for nothing, but I thought I would ask those who understand the subscription and support better than me.

  Thank you very much for the help!

  Dan

  To answer my own question, I discovered that for users with contracts less than $3,000... is it possible to make a renewal online without the need to go through a partner.  It turns out that the link to the online renewal page is available through the 60, 30, 15 days notice in advance of the emails that are sent to the holder of the account (which is how I found it).  The page renewal me related to this FAQ PDF that I found useful.  I was able to successfully renew my subscription from the link.

  http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/myvmware/VMware-online-renewals-FAQs-en.PDF

  The important bits for me were the following (from the FAQ):

  ====

  Q: clients access renewals online from VMware.com or My VMware?

  A: access to the online renewal platform is by a "direct link" sent to clients through the electronic communication of renewal.

  Q: when VMware will send me the link of renewal online?

  R: the link for customers to renew online will appear on reminders e-mail sent 60-30-15 days prior to the expiration of the contract.

  Q: can customers renew all contracts renewal online?

  A: customers will be able to renew those contracts to a total value of less than $3,000 USD only. Customers will have the option of

  move to a higher level of service, or a longer term, as you wish.

  Hope that helps future lab home amateurs like me.

  • Error 0X0000000D
  • Recent changes made to your computer no

  Usually, you insert the printer cd in desktop1 and follow the procedure for setting up a shared printer / network

• In your own words, can you describe for me how networks work at home.

  need help on a project for school.

  A home network is basically a method for multiple computers to communicate with each other. If you have two or more computers in your home, a network can let share files, an internet connection, printers, scanner and other devices. Different network types use different hardware, but they have all the same essential components: more than a computer, the hardware (like a router( ) and the software (either built the operating system or as a separate application) to coordinate the exchange of information and path for information to follow from one computer to another

• How to set the password to protect the network, Windows XP Home Edition

  Another PC can directly access my computer on the Windows network, so I want to set a password to protect my computer.

  There are two basic methods to connect to a computer through a network.

  The first is through Remote Desktop connection.  This method requires that a user connect as if they were sitting in front of the computer.  So simply assign a password for each user in the user Panel must control this access road.  If I remember correctly, Remote Desktop connections cannot do XP Home computers, so this may not apply to you.

  The second is through the sharing of files on the network.  With XP Home (forced Simple File Sharing), each connection sharing file valid as long as the user "guest".  So to control this access, you must assign a password for the Guest user.

• After installing winows xp SP3, cannot connect to the network wireless at home

  My daughter has an old windows xp pc. I have a USB wireless adapter attached to it to our wireless here at home. When I install SP3, the network card does not connect to the network.  I have uninstall xp3 to make it work. I even reinstalled the software for the card after xp3 installs, and it still does not work. What can I do about this problem?

  Go wireless adapter manufacturer and obtain an updated driver, then it should work. If the manufacturer does not, for a search on the Web.

• Scan to folder installation network - Win VISTA Home Premium

  Printer is HP Officejet Pro 8600

  When I try to install the Scan to folder network on a desktop computer running Win VISTA Home Premium Web page displays the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  There is no option to continue anyway.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security all parameters have a default value.

  On my old laptop under Win XP SP3 and newer laptop running Win 7 Home Premium, when I run the analysis of the installation of the network folder, I have to continue, and then configuration page will become available.   Under Tools > Internet Options > security settings are set to default.

  I'm curious to know why I can't have analysis of screen network on Win VISTA Home Premium system folder but I can do on both other systems?  All three computers are on the same home network.

  P.S. as for the Scan to E-mail Wizard, which gives the message that this option is not available on my printer, however on the touch of 8600 printer screen option is there and he tells you how do it.  Scanning to Email app also allows me to scan to e-mail.

  Initially this feature was not mentioned on all models of the 8600, just the models more and premium that you note. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of this HP feature published scanning to email app for the majority of printers who have access to web services.

  I hope that answers your question!

• Cannot print over a network with Vista home

  Hello I try to connecto my new laptop to my network wireless of office to share files and printers.  The new laptop is Vista Home 64 bit.  The printer is connectet to a PC with Windows xp and according to a person who does our netwirking the printer cannot talk to the 32-bit and 64-bit and tells me that I have to change for windows XP.  It does not sound right.  Apparently there is no driver for canon iR 1510-1670, which runs on a 64-bit processor.  Any help...

  Thank you

  Guillermo

  If there is no Vista 64-bit drivers available for this Canon printer, you will need to spend the XP Canon printer to a compatible printer Vista 64 bit if you want to print from it.

  Canon has written drivers for their products, not Microsoft.

  Check yourself on the Canon Website driver as to what drivers are available for this printer:
