New server ESXi 5.5 - How do I know what my score /scratch physical device is on?
I went to this page - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014953
But unfortunately, it is not described how to match the UUID to a physical device.
For example, our server has two cards SD with ESXi embedded installed and a RAID 1 of the 2 SATA drives.
My boss asked me to make sure that the /scratch location is set to the spinning disks, rather than SD cards.
I can see what VMFS/volume/my /scratch up to, but I have no idea if this volume is on the SD card or the RAID 1 spinning disk.
I can't find a command that lists each UUID on each physical disk.
It does not help that I'm not much more than a linux guru. =/
Hi PeterBollwerk,
Steps below should show you the location of the scratch on your esxi host. in this example, my esxi is executed in a double SD card in mirror.

Specialization on a new server ESXi 5
I want to set up a new server ESXI 5.x for a customer and would like to clarify certain points, if you will allow me.
1 ESXI 5.x supports up to 32 GB of RAM, correct?
2. If I have a server with a processor image, I, from point of view of the ESXI, four CPU available is to allocate to the virtual methods, correct? And two quad-cores I'd have 8 CPU is to allocate to virtual methods?
With ESXI 4.1 I found work two logics CPU very well support a CPU heavily used on a new HP Server as long as my other virtual methods are virtual demand as storage of data or Symantec Antivirus servers servers, etc..
3. I asked earlier but it's not kosher to overallocate computer CPU? If I have a Quad Core processor and assign 8 Virtual CPU I overuse. Is it always a bad thing with 5.x?
Thank you very much for the friendly help continues I go out here.

The backup, you can certainly manually save or use in comments like Windows backup backup. I just wanted to talk because many people don't think that.
Regarding commissioning, it depends on the workload as I've mentioned before and also depends on how to configure the virtual machines. If you have a 4 core CPU and configure the virtual machines with 4 vCPUs you may soon face questions. However, if you configure the VM with 1 vCPU (or maybe two for individual virtual machines), it would be possible to run 10 virtual machines or more without problems. Everything that you, remember that the host must also some resources.

How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic serv
How do I know what the maximum number of agents I can put on a hyperic server. ?? IM using the built in database on a linux unbuntu 4 cpu system ' s2592 MHZ. 7GB of Ram. I assumed that the
disk space can be the most important question? Any suggestions or any help to determine when to stop adding customers would be useful. We can use open source, but are also
talk about the EE version. The Hyperic server type would make a difference in space etc.?Disk i/o is probably a bit more critical than the disk space that the DB generally is not larger than 10-15 concerts.
Ability wise, your system is CPU/RAM. Disk i/o will probably be your main bottleneck and the thing that will determine the maximum number of agents that can have on the server.
Splitting of the DB from the HQ server would certainly help in the perspective of General load. Definitely put the DB a system with several piles of discs (part of a San, fast raid) will help you in the disk i/o.
If I was trying to answer the same question, I guess that I look at the Scriptures on disk on the DB as starting point, test the drive with systat/iostat or something to see what the drive is capable of in terms of read/write speeds and also look at postgres for slow queries, duration of execution of query, used memory and cpu. Naturally, I would do the majority of "look at her" go to HQ itself :)

How do I know what version (update / output level) version 6 has been applied to my system?

Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Original title: remove programs
I think I have a virus. I see on my computer a few applications with and installed as of 2004. The computer was purchased in 2007. When I run it in safe mode, it works fine and all applications have a date of 2007 or newer. Should I delete the programs of 2004? How can you know what is safe to delete?
Hello
This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.=============================================================
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

How do I know what RAID controller works the box?
Using the VMware Compatibility Guide, how do I know what RAID controller works out of the box (no installation necessary driver, no action necessary special) for 5.5 ESXi update 2?
PS - I initially assumed that if they appear then they work OOB, but there is nothing on the page registration or landing pages of the device that makes this clear.
Once you click the RAID controller in the HCL, you will see all the supported versions of ESXi with the appropriate driver listed as "inbox" or async". There may be more driver for a specific version, but if one of them is stated as "inbox", it is supposed to work out of the box.
