New Hp with VMWare Esx4 server configuration

Hello

We just bought a new server - DL380 G6. During the installation of the SmartSmart CD, it asks me to choose what operating system I want to install it is to say windows 2003 or 2008.

However, I would like to install VMWare Esx4i. What should I do?

Also, how do I go and install the Proliant Support Pack, which contains all drivers for the server?

Thank you

Make sure you have the latest version. HP releases a new version of the firmware CD every few months. The most common is August 10, version 8.6. It is sometimes updated firmware for specific devices between the CD versions. Check to see if it affects your installation.

You don't need anything be it front of ESXi. ESXi is installed directly on the hardware. You may consider to install inside the SD card and leave space for the data store.

  • Can of POS used with Vmware vCenter Server 5 Standard license

    Hello team,

    Accroding to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2016565

    WTP is supplied with vSphere Essentials more and more.

    I searched but did not meet solid information where he explains when licensed some don't need us to buy additional licenses for new features / applications, etc.
    I'm new to Vmware licenses hierarchy. We have Vmware vCenter Server Standard 5 license.
    Please point me to a URL that contains the hierarchy of Vmware licenses .

    Thank you much in advance.
    Niraj

    You can use vCenter Server Standard 5 licenses for POS. Everything we have features such as (profile of HA, DRS, FT, VDP, host, DVS etc.) you don't need to worry about the virtual server license Center. You must use the correct license vsphere host. But don't forget to think about some virtual server edition Center can handle some vsphere hosts.

    vCenter server 5 Essentials can manage only vSphere Essentials Plus or vSphere Essentials.

    vCenter Server Standard 5 licensecan eat only vSphere vSphere Enterprise and vSphere companies plus standards.

    You can activate the functionality of POS with vSphere Essentials Plus then you will need to use vCenter server 5 Essentials.If you use vCenter server standard for vSphere Essentials Plus so it give error or warning for violation of editing.

    Thank you

  • With VMware View Server using LDAPS (port 636)

    I've been responsible for something that seems impossible/not supported.

    VMware View Server uses port 389 for LDAP.  My task is to do view to use instead the port 636 (LDAP over SSL).  The accusation is that the replicated servers in VMware View data not encrypted between other on port 389.

    So far in my quest, I did no progress in this project.  However, I was able to test that manual connections can now be performed (with ADSI Edit) with port port SSL 636 other replicated servers view.  Problem is that the view seems to have hard-coded to use port 389 and cannot be moved to use LDAPS.

    There are instructions to do something like this in vCenter (http://www.vstable.com/2012/01/27/vcenter-5-active-directory-web-services-error-1209/) (Security Virtual Lab: & amp; nbsp;) Architecture - Blog - proSauce), but nothing related to the sight of the surfaces in a Google search.

    Someone at - it have a Yes or whinny if possible?

    EDIT: Moved to the correct community.

    It is not easy being responsible for something impossible!

    Connection view servers have an AD LDS instance, and replication between servers using the AD LDS replication. This is a replication mechanism secure by using the replication RPC, LDAP and Kerberos and secure without having to implement LDAP over SSL on 636.

    The articles you refer to are actually on the definition of a port number unused LDAPS access of Web Active Directory Services with vCenter Server to get rid of an event without danger. It does nothing to do with replication between LDAP servers. View prevents remote access Active Directory Web services anyway with a specific firewall rule so that remote users have no access to it.

    The only reason why you can use LDAPS with AD LDS is if you support simple LDAP connections. The use of SSL would mean that the simple bind passwords are not sent in the clear. In the case of the view, simple LDAP connections are not enabled in any case.

    In summary, what you're trying to do is useless.

    1. is VMware vCenter Server 4 Foundation for backward compatible product vSphere with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

    2 If no, then is it a similar product of VMware, which is compatible with VMware ESX Server 3.5?

  • VMware vcenter server woes

    Hey guys,.

    I just installed vcenter server to centralize control of my various installations of vmware server. I have essentially 4 machines I want to follow - 3 all running the same debian installation and last version of vmware server (free). the 4th is a windows 2003 machine that runs the latest vmware server too.

    I installed vmware infrastructure without problem, no error. iStart it upward, add a data center. add my first host - a linux host. works very well. I add a second host - another host.as of linux, I am setting up I get the summary of correct host and it lists even the virtual machines that are on the machine. It ends, says being synchronized to the top and then I get the dreaded "host type is not supported, or added to a cluster, but does not support the features of clusters.

    strange. am I adding as a cluster? I don't think so... I add windows machine and he adds without any problem. a linux server that I managed to add shows no information to the title of memory/CPU usage of the virtual machines, it is all 0. therefore graphics of performance - no graphics.

    what the hell is happening?

    Interesting - to - http://www.vmware.com/products/server/faqs.html

  • Cloning of Windows Server 2008 R2 / SID options with VMWare

    Hi all

    I'm trying to deploy virtual machines to a basic model of Windows 2008 R2 Standard (64-bit) and I was wondering what is the best way to give my unique msn cloned VMS?

    Basically, I see that NewSID does not work on R2. I tried to run sysprep - & gt; Generalize about the clones of R2 (area experience off), but after restarting the virtual machine must be re-activated (enter the product key and activate again). In addition, VMWare tools no longer - I found that I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working again, so the console mouse sensitivity goes down the drain. My screen resolution is also indented by default in the virtual machine and anything on the desktop is erased.

    Running sysprep like this just doesn't seem to be an option, because there is too much of what needs to be sorted again once the clone is done. I might as well be reinstalling the OS on a fresh virtual machine. Is that all I'm missing with sysprep? Sort of leave him alone he put the SID and nothing else?

    It would also be interesting to know what the guys who run Windows 2008 R2 64-bit with VMWare use (VI / ESX 3.5) when it comes to cloning or to deploy multiple virtual machines from a template.

    For example, I just want to be able to clone my base model and get a new SID on each clone that I do. So I want to have another model that has a few additional features or roles installed in Windows and be able to clone from that too. For example, a model of Terminal Server.

    See you soon!

    However, I doubt management will believe that article directly at the exit (even if its written by Mark himself)-this process of newSID'ing is as far as I can see in their heads. May take a while to convince them otherwise.

    If this information on the website of Russinovich doesn't convince them of the contrary, it will be interesting.

    As far as I can tell from this article, as long as I clone models VM that are already part of a domain, I should be fine. In other words if I have a model pre-configured, but are not part of a domain (that is always in a working group) I should be fine if I had to clone 10 of them and put them all on the same network right? From there, I could then take one of these 10 clones, convert to a domain controller, and then take the remaining 9 and add them to this new domain members and all servers should be good - no conflicts or funny happens things of the AD?

    Yes, let the models out of the area and let the sysprep/customization to join them upward when it is deployed.  As long you run sysprep, or through customization, or manually, there should be no problem in AD.

    I guess I always look for an alternative to newsid just to adapt to this as 'political', said at this stage. How you guys don't deploy R2 2008, VMs of clones?

    None of my clients went to U1 or U5 at the moment, there is no R2 2008 deployment in place.  I'm guessing that a manual running sysprep deployed virtual machine might be the best thing to do at this point.

  • Configuration Linksys WPSM54G on new laptop with Win7

    Using a Linksys WPSM54G. Working on my old WinXP, bought a new laptop with Win7. Tried to set up as a TCPIP will still not connect. Have seen a lot of posts on this issue, but can't get it on my pc.

    After reading the endless forums on this topic and try LPR printing as proposed (without success), I finally found a simple solution to get the WPSM54G print server work on Windows 7 (64 bit in my case version). Simply download the latest driver for the Lnksys site.  Once you have unzipped the download, right-click on Wizard.exe, select Properties, click the result, then check the compatibility mode box and select Windows Vista (Service Pack 2).  When you run the Configuration Wizard and click on Computer Configuration, instead of the boring message "OS not supported", the driver installation ends normally and you can start printing.

  • Customer Web couldn't connect to VMware Lookup Service error with the old server DNS name

    Hello

    I had a Vcenter server named virtualcenter.domain.com (192.168.1.10) with Vcenter 5.1 (with SSO, inventory, Webclient) on a windows 2008 R2 with a MSSQL2012 db.

    I tried to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5u1 and he failed, Vcenter & Webclient installers have been crashing before you finish update

    So I decided to make a clone of my Vcenter and still have my production work while trying to update.

    My clone has been virtualcenter2.domain.com with a new IP 192.168.1.12

    I uninstalled everything for the webclient service that I had to clean files and registry entries manually, because he didn't find the uninstall program when I was clicking on uninstall.

    Then the installation went well, everything except the webclient service works very well

    When you try to connect to the new vcenter: https://virtualcenter2.domain.com:9443 / vsphere client / I got:

    Unable to connect to the VMware Research Service https://VirtualCenter.domain.com:7444/lookupservice/sdk -The SSL certificate verification failed.

    Why the error message is wearing the old DNS name?

    And why when installing, the webclient service to connect to the search service perfectly and then it doesn't work?

    After 1 day, uninstall/reinstall/install, try SSL things and many things, that I found online, the solution is the STUPIDEST thing ever.
    WHY DON'T C:\ProgramData\VMware\ls_url.txt USE VMWARE to provide the URL of the LookupService for the Webclient service? During the installation provide you the URL for registration with SSO, why the hell isn't it written that URL somewhere and use it after?

    And why the hell with all the gel/reinstalling ALL THE COMPONTENT of the Vcenter, I did, this MUTE txt file has not been updated with the new DNS name of my server?

    In any case, my webclient is currently working, but 1 day of work and mental torture do not understand why the hell my client was not working due to a file text fucking, it's depressing.

  • The VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1.

    Hi, when I try to enable sharing in Workstation 8 GTR | Change | Preferences | Sharing virtual machines, I get an error Impossible to configure the workstation server. Check the event log, I found they were trying to start the VMware Workstation Server service that does not start (even when you try to start it manually) and the following error is recorded "the VMware Workstation Server service stopped with service specific error %-1." by the Service Control Manager. I found no additional cases related.

    Running on Windows 7 SP1 x 64. The port is set to 7443.

    I also tried to find a newspaper there instead of vmware, but neither found anything related; However I could have missed something.

    Thanks for all the ideas, what could be wrong and how to fix it.

    Hello

    I have Workstation 8.0.1 installed on two laptop computers each running Windows 7 SP1 x 64... the shared component of the virtual machine runs on one but not the other. On the machine that I have problems with I uninstalled Workstation and reinstalled - without success. What I ended up doing to replace the datastores.xml file in the Directory go (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\hostd) on the laptop with the problem with the file datastores.xml of the laptop that works - success! I knew that there was a problem with the file because I've been poking around and noticed that the datastores.xml file is not open for editing - it was corrupted.

    I have attached the file to this message.

    Change of the section at the location that you store your shared VM (be sure to not use a UNC, which breaks the service as well!).

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Server configured as the gateway crashes with referee interface

    I'm running the Active Directory to Windows 2008 R2 servers multiple infrastructure test lab. One of the functions as a gateway server, configured with routing and remote access. Each time, after a few hours, the network to public internet traffic stops. One way to solve is, is to restart the gateway server. When network stops, same gateway itself cannot connect to the public network, the DNS servers of the ISP ping with the IP addresses is answer. Ipconfig/release and / renew buy do a thing and disabling WAN network interface freezes. After that, try to stop and restart the server will be fallow with blue screen and cold reboot.

    WAN interface uses the pilot VMNET3 and Intel LAN interface 1000 (something like that). VMtools has been installed from the console of the last version of ESXi.

    Familiar with this problem to anyone?

    Try to change the external NETWORK adapter to E1000.

  • Installation of VMware workstation in a machine with vmware server 2.0 is already installed?

    is it possible to install the latest version of vmware workstation (I guess that's 6.5) in a machine where vmware server 2.0 is already installed? where possible there at - it something I should know before installing vmware workstation (eg. problems known, network suspends etc.)? in particual I am a little concerned network mangement (eg. both vmware server and vmware workstation in fact add virtaul adapters: is a possible trouble caouse?). The host of the virtual machine is vista ultimate x 64 with 8gig of ram and a quad core cpu.

    I did a little research, and from what I understand, this was not possible with vmware server 1.0 x.. as the situation has changed with vmware server 2.0?

    (in case you are wondering why I sholud be willing to do):

    I worked with vm ware Server 2.0 for about a year, but now I miss some of the features that are only present in vmware workstation: multiple snapshot and clone VM vm ware server... However is much more flexible when you don't have physical access to your VM host... so I was wondering if it is possible to get the best of both worlds : I would like to use vm ware workstation allows you to configure virtual machines and manage snapshots and vmware server to remotely manage virtual machines, I've created with workstation. Is it not possible?

    Thanks in advance for your attention
