New to ESXi - how ftp the ESXi host files?

I read several threads on the FTP configuration for other machines to connect to the ESXi server. But I need to FTP my files of our Lacie enthernet disk backup (created with the ghettoVCB.sh). The ethernet disk is shipped XP that allows FTP connections to it.

Can someone tell me how to FTP to the ESXi machine?

Thank you!

Charles

Not sure ESXi 3.5, but on ESXi 4.0 there is a FTP client, as mentioned l to enter the busybox not supported console:

~ # vmware -v
VMware ESXi 4.0.0 build-171294

Ftpget function

~ # ftpget

        -P,--port       Port number

  • How you code multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file?

    I'm trying to create multilevel subpages in the bb-hosts file and I am so far unsuccessful. I want to create a hierarchy like this:

    From the main screen of BB have a page called "SAP systems". When I select this page, do display sub-pages for the 'Production', 'Test', etc. If I choose the Test, it displays the sub-pages for each test SID T00, T01, T02, etc., and then select the SID to see the info on the database server and application server.

    (high level BB of the screen)

    SAP systems

    Select SAP systems and get a subpage that displays

    Production systems

    Test systems

    Select one of these subpages, and it will display a different set of subpages, one for each SID (for example, T00, T01, etc.). For example, to select the test systems and poster of the subpages for

    T00

    T01

    T02

    Select one of these subpages, and then you get information about the database servers and servers of applications for this SID.

    I found a link on the basis of knowledge of quest and the screens of the sample have been what I was looking for, but the file bb-hosts that they did not have their screens.

    Thank you

    You can create an additional level of exploration down by setting up areas of the screen. Doing will change the default URL to your BBDISPLAY. To do this:

    1. change $BBHOME/etc/bbdef-server.sh (%BBHOME%\etc\bbdef.cfg on Windows).

    2 set BBCURRDISP = 'something'

    3. change your bb-hosts (bb - hosts.cfg on Windows) file and use the 'view' token to create the third level of exploration down that you are looking for, something like:

    # Your bb-hosts file

    192.168.33.16 bbpe - BBDISPLAY BBNET DOWNLOAD fc001.quest.com # http://localhost/bb

  • Event Viewer error "there was an error while trying to read the local hosts file." file "hosts" but good

    Hello

    In Event Viewer, I see a lot of mistakes like:

    Source: The customers DNS events

    There was an error trying to read the local hosts file.

    I read that threat indicating to rename the hosts for "hosts" file

    HOWEVER, the name of the file in my computer appears as it should

    C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc / "hosts".

    and the content of the file is as it is supposed to be according to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

    What should I do to fix this error?

    P.S. I suspect my computer is compromised. Last weekend, Security Essentials has reported a malicious file backdoor and it has been deleted, but I have a weird behavior of the computer

    Thank you

    Try to re-create the hosts file.

    Open Notepad as administrator (click right on the Notepad icon or shortcut and click Run as admin) and type the following information in it:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    : 1 localhost

    The '1' in the '127.0.0.1' must be in the first column of the line and there must be at least one space between "127.0.0.1" and "localhost". In the second line, there must be at least one space between ": 1" and "localhost".

    Save the file with name "hosts" in the C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder.

  • New addition ESXi host to vSAN, put in the new group of network Partition

    Add a new R730xd from Dell to my cluster active vSAN (also all the Dell R730xds, same features), but when doing so, the new host is put into another group of network Partition.  Same configuration of the switch, the new host is plugged as that of others.  Can check the connectivity between each host (in addition, confirmed as much as I can ping to the interface vSAN between one of the four hosts), yet always says there is a communication error.  Any ideas?

    Certainly a multicast problem, strongly recommend the reading of these:

  • New hardware ESXi host

    Hi all

    I'm looking for a rough general outline so that I have a little more confidence going to our upgrade.

    Currently, we have 4 x Dell PE2950s that all work ESX3.5i. We replace the latter with Dell PER710 with ESX4.0i 3.

    The current hosts are all connected to a Dell Equalogic ISCSI San. This SAN has all virtual machines, HA, etc. New hosts ESX4.0i will connect to the same SAN.

    What I have to do is to remove all 2950 s Dell and replace them with our new R710s, same running virtual machines.

    Does anyone have reccomendations/tips/links is the most painless way to achieve this?

    Thank you for your time!

    Edit* forgot to mention that we are currently conducting vCenter 4.0 to manage our 3.5i existing hosts. This same dialog vCenter will also manage the new hosts.

    Welcome to the Forums - the way the easiest would be to add new servers to your vCenter environment and give them access to the LUNS existing and then you have a number of options to migrate them to the new hosts - since the voltage to the low remove them on new hosts to time and inventory if the hosts are compatible with vmotion-the official wqill leveling guide give you advice - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_upgrade_guide.pdf

  • New Fund certification - how does the beta?

    Hello

    I am interested in taking the new beta review of VCA Office which has just been announced this week.  I have previouslt sat other exams from vmware, but not a beta version review.  How does the beta exam?  I noticed in the action plan there is no set of passmark.  I have to take the exam and then wait for the results that they are assembled?

    If I take the beta exam in version then it will be upgraded to full certification once the beta review of the version?  The review is currently only £50 instead of £110.

    Thank you

    How the BETA exams work generally is you will have more questions than the final exam, this is for feedback on the various issues that VMware had in mind. This can if extend the depth of a subject given to difficult of a given question and you will be able to provide comments on each question, at least that's how it was in the reviews BETA for the VCP, VCAP4-DCA and the VCAP4-DCD, everything that I took part in the BETA program.

    As you have noticed, there is no set of passmark because currently it's unknown yet, which will be determined by VMware after the exam in BETA version in which they finalized a score and select the questions that they feel best fit the content based on feedback. Receive your scores may take up to 2 months and more if it is not more that it has been for most of the BETA exams. If you pass the exam in beta, you pass the real exam, it's just in the BETA version, you get the width of the questions while the final exam, you will see a subset of these questions. The other added benefit is not only the feedback that you provide to VMware, but also a nice discount on the normal price and I hope that you are not required to take any compulsory course which can run up to US $3,000

    Good luck

  • running in vCenter Server, ESX, how clean the vCenter host?

    I hope that the topic of the thread makes sense somehow.

    We have vCenter Server works like an ESX VM, for now on local storage, but eventually it can be moved to the SAN storage.

    To clean up our ESX host, we use Update Manager.

    How does the VUM to sanitise the host that is running the vCenter Server VM?

    What should I do to have AUVS to clean up the host that runs the vCenter Server VM that is running VUM?

    Thank you, Tom

    If everything works on local storage, you can simply make your updates via esxupdate on the command line.

  • Cannot change the Vista hosts file

    How to save this file? Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    The host files are linked to the internet explore and this is why it must be very careful when you change them. And this is the reason why they were safe as to change. We have a FixIT tool to assign default host files. It's here.

  • I created a new library of more new playlists but cannot find the Library.xml file

    Hello

    I'm going to re - build my iTunes files from scratch, a kind of decennial event 'spring clean '. I have created a new library by using the command, click on application startup, and then began to rebuild new reading lists in the application. I can see the folder newly created the library that contains the new "iTunes Library.itl" file BUT I don't see that the iTunes Music Library.xml file. " There certainly must be one to save the data of the playlist, and probably "Get Info" should reflect today date' today... I don't see older versions.

    Although everything seems to work perfectly I don't want to have to re - visit the construction of Playlists from scratch for the next ten years! Can anyone suggest what happened to the .xml file?

    Thanks and greetings

    You can create an .xml on iTunes/file/library/Export library file and gives you the opportunity to put the Library.xml file in your iTunes Media folder - or anywhere you like.

    If you need to rebuild your playlists, you can go to iTunes, file, library, import playlist and select the .xml file.

    Normally, you do not see the .xml file in your iTunes folder.

  • Scroll effects on the CC host file does not

    I'm trying to post embed a file CC animate in my Web of Muse page and use scrolling effects to advance the animation as the page scrolls down. I created the animation, published as a .oam file, it included in my Muse and added scrolling effects together to go to the section following listel. Integration worked very well and the animation is here, but there are two problems:

    (1) the animation simply autoplays as soon as the page loads and does not advance along with scrolling motion

    (2) when the mouse cursor is positioned on the integrated animation, you cannot scroll the Web page at all

    Scroll effects are defined properly, with the animation set to advance a second each 200px. I've seen tutorials on how to animate this with edge, forcing unchecking them a checkbox "autoplay" on the stage, but I can't find any such box in CC to animate. Any suggestions?

    From what I hear, the scrolling effects workflow is not supported in workflow Animate/Muse currently, as he has already worked with OAM files created in Edge animate. The team seeks to give priority to the request for a future update.
