• VMPlayer newbie - switch back and forth between the host and the guest operating system

  I am newbie to VMPlayer. I just installed VMPlayer 3.0.0 build-203739 on Red Hat Linux 5 (host). Then I created a VM comments Kubuntu (8.10). So far so good. In the VMPlayer window, I selected 'play Virtual Machine '. After this, the host operating system controls disappeared and I could see a taskbar on the top of my screen and I could also see Kubuntu startup (in an area of the small window in the center of the screen). The problem I'm running is that I'm not able to navigate outside of this area of the small window. I'm not even able to click/Select the taskbar of VMPlayer top of the screen. The mouse movement is limited to the area of the small window. How to and fro my host and the guest operating system? Is there a key combination? I finally had to stop my VM guest to return to the control of my host system. I guess it's a problem quite newbie that I am running. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, welcome to the forum

  Host Windows to switch between comments and the OS (when you are in the guest operating system), you must use ctrl + alt.

  According to this link , it's the same thing in Linux host too.

  >Default VMware Player uses key combination Ctrl + Alt to jump out of the guest. Then CTRLAltdel is accessible via theAltInsert command. If you find this annoying, you can change the jump shortcut to CtrlAltshift by adding the following lines to your ~/.vmware/preferences:

  > pref.hotkey.shift = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.control = "true".

  > pref.hotkey.alt = "true".

  After your installation OS in the virtual machine, install "VMware Tools" on it so you will get better performance and some improvements (like moving your mouse out of guest to your host operating system operating system and Vice Versa, or be able to copy beyond host/guest, better resolution on reviews and...)

  I hope it helps a bit.

• After you move a crowd is to Cluster HA, got a misconfiguration in the host network configuration

  An existing host works well in the datacenter, which only had a NIC card. But he moved to Cluster HA, got

  Looking at your screenshots I would suggest that you create the second and third vSwitch with 192 and 172 port groups that exist on the other host.

• Cannot change the host firewall configuration

  Hello

  I'm playing with a small lab environment and I see this problem.

  I have 1 vCenter Server Appliance and 2 ESXi hosts.

  The two hosts were 5.0 ESXi hypervisor (free version).

  I've done this.

  Replace licenses Ent +. Upgrade 1 hosts to version 5.1.

  Now, if I try to edit a firewall rule in the host improved from the vSphere client connected to the vCenter, I get this error.

  ' Call 'HostFirewallSystem.DisableRuleset' of object "firewallSystem-41"on vCenter Server 'localhost' failed."

  I tried to remove and time to host the vCenter but the error persists.

  Anyone know what is the problem here?

  Thanks in advance,

  elgreco81

  There are a few changes in the behavior of the firewall in 5.1...

• Script for the host Cluster Datacenter WWN of output

  Hi all

  I'm looking to create a script to the output:

  WWN with WWP, Datacenter, Cluster, host

  Do not know how to start with this one. I guess I'd start using Get-Data Center and get-content then from there.

  Any help appreciated,

  Rob.

  Rob,

  You can try the following code. It should be a pretty good entry at the very least. I don't have a FC HBA in my lab at home to work out the kinks with the info WWN that will have to wait until tomorrow.

  $vmhosts = get-VMHost

  $HBAInfo = @)

  {Foreach ($vmhost to $vmhosts)

  $HBAs = $vmhost | Get-VMHostHba-type FibreChannel

  $DC = (get-Datacenter - VMHost $vmhost). Name

  $Cluster = (get-Cluster - VMHost $vmhost). Name

  {Foreach ($HBA to $HBAs)

  $Details = "" | Select WWN, Datacenter, Cluster host

  $Details.WWN = $HBA. PortWorldWideName

  $Details.Datacenter = $DC

  $Details.Cluster = $Cluster

  $Details.Host = $vmhost. Name

  $HBAInfo += $Details

  }

  }

• Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

  How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

  I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

  Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

  Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

• HA installation failure due to a misconfiguration in the host network configuration?

  We have no setup problem on a cluster HA containing 2 ESX 4.0 host. However, after adding a host ESXi 4.1 and configuration HA to contain all 3 hosts, HA shows failure due to a misconfiguration in the network configuration for the ESXi 4.1 host host.
  
  Remembering this bad spell names network could cause a failure of HA configuration, we proceed to rename network management Service Console host ESXi 4.1 in order to match the network management of the ESX 4.0. However, this does not.

  Hello

  Yes, you can mix ESXi and ESX on this same cluster

  1. Check your DNS - should resolve to long and short names of all nodes in a cluster that you
  2. are the new ESXi in the same IP subnet as the older ESX servers?
  3. try to disable and enable HA
  4. Check below link

• How does the connection to the host?

  I tried to debug this myself, but there seems to be a missing piece, and I would like to help understand the components and the sequence of the process.
  
  My immediate problem is how to get past the "ORA-12170: TNS: Connect timeout occurred" error below? It seems that this host name "hcm" is acknowledged as valid, but then points to nowhere.
  
  Environment: Windows 2000, Oracle 10 g rel 2, localhost (IP starting with 127), MS Loopback adapter (IP starts with 192), computer name dimension4100, primary dns, database name suffix ora.newmiddleclass.com (same as SID) is hcm.
  
  etc\hosts file:
  127.0.0.1 localhost dimension4100.ora.newmiddleclass.com
  192.168.255.255 dimension4100.ora.newmiddleclass.com dimension4100
  192.168.255.255 dimension4100.ora.newmiddleclass.com hcm
  192.168.255.255 hcm2 dimension4100.ora.newmiddleclass.com

  192.168.255.255 dimension4100.ora.newmiddleclass.com no. - tns
  
  I am trying to connect via sqlplus with this syntax:
  sqlplus SYS/pw@hcm
  
  ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
  When I try to connect via @ using nothing other than localhost or dimension4100 or a hostname specified in the hosts file.
  -Implies that this is the first step in the process
  
  .. then using the string host @hcm as shown above to avoid 12154 error. Then, one of two things occurs:
  
  ORA-12541: TNS:no listener
  Only with 'localhost' or dimension4100. for example
  sqlplus SYS/pw@dimension4100
  
  -or-
  
  ORA-12170: TNS: Connect timeout occurred
  Only with host names mapped to 192 in the file hosts (except for dimension4100). It doesn't matter if the host name is in tnsnames.ora. for example
  sqlplus SYS/pw@hcm
  sqlplus SYS/pw@hcm2
  sqlplus SYS/pw@no-tns ('no. - tns' is not defined in tnsnames.ora)
  
  Note:
  -J' checked that the hosts and ora files I edited are really files that the system is reading.
  -I can ping no matter what host name in the hosts file and get the correct IP address.
  -I can connect via sqlplus / as sysdba
  -I have to manually start the receiver via lsnrctl start. He listens via tcp on the IP address of the loopback Protocol (192) on port 1521, as well as the CPI (EXTPROC1ipc) Protocol

  Thank you.

  The HCM tns alias certainly not located in your tnsnames.ora file. If you manually change the file, sometimes you can sometimes introduce syntax errors, nonprinting characters, etc.. Can you try remove all of your tnsnames.ora file (probably want to back up first), then using the Network Setup Wizard to create a new file tnsnames.ora?

• ESXI host "not in compliance" with the profile of the host

  I have a host ESXI "not in compliance" with the profile of the host cluster. Attached screenshot shows TSM, TSM - SSH message. I've seen it before and fixed by stopping local and SSH support. This time however, the message does not disappear, even when local and remote technical support. I stopped the services and value manual. Any suggestions?

  Have you tried to check compliance again? As I got errors like that, they went all first I checked compliance again manually...

• Vary the size of the host and the load balancing

  I have a 4 4-host ESX cluster that is almost the maximum ability to manage virtual machines ~ 80 (and growing).  The hosts are configured with 4 to 8 cores and 32 GB of RAM each.  RAM is currently the bottleneck; Processor is not far behind.  I plan to replace one of the hosts with a much larger machine, 12 cores, 96 GB of RAM.  If a host is significantly larger than the other hosts in a cluster, DRS will still do a good job of load balancing?  I guess the DRS will place multiple virtual machines on the host to the largest.  Is there a risk of DRS. putting too many virtual machines on the largest node?

  Until the cluster is in CVS mode, or processors are compatible vmotion, you can vary the size of the resource of physical machines in the cluster.  DRS will try to balance the load, the better it can over all cluster resources.  Depending on your level of DRS aggressive, improving to a particular machine in terms of past performance is considered, so more that likely, that you will have more vm on the host of the largest.

• The host does not not after having created the first distributed switch

  Hello group,

  My 2 hosts are have cranked out once I created my first switch distributed in my infrastructure and all my groups of connection moved above her. Events, looks like I have can I have miss-configured the consolidation of the port by using the configuration at the port level. Now, my problem is that I can't change the switch distributed from the host settings > Configuration > network management page. At this point, I'm guessing that I need to talk to the host with CLI commands. Is there another way to solve this problem through the GUI? If not, can someone help me with advice on which CLI commands to use? I'm very green in Unix/Linux CLI.

  I've included a Word document with screenshots of the event.

  Thank you, Robert

  One more thing, you may need to delete the original 'service console' before creating a new,.

• Cannot create the VSA cluster: Cluster subnet is invalid. Should not be "network address".

  Hello world!  I had two questions on a configuration current VSA that I'm doing for a client.  Installation of urban contaminated sites brownfield version 5.1.1 = Live, running Virtual machines.     Have everything configured, I'm facing 2 problems that may be a common issue throughout the community.

  1. in the configuration of the cluster initial when you are ready to configure the drives of VSA, the wipeout disc around or just what has been configured space wise. My guess is he running virtual machines on the local data store that it will not write on this part but still format how much disk space has been used.

  2. I received, during the vsa cluster configuration, the error message:

  Cannot create the VSA cluster: Cluster 192.168.12.0 subnet is invalid. Must not be 192.168.12.0

  Now, I saw the article on what it could probably be.  The gateway appears and is correct.  The problem is that I know that the default gateway is not the ping requests.  I corrected it but have not begun installation because of the question #1 above.  Since the gateway is now who responded, what would be the possible resolution.  Thanks in advance to all those who support!

  Hey Nate,

  You're right about the behavior of the cluster wizard.  It does not consume space and leave the space used by the existing virtual machines.  Once that adjust you network settings (an adresse.0 may be the entry door?)  You should be able to proceed with the creation of cluster.

• Group creation ESXi 4 port with respect to the host only vSwitch

  Hi all

  ESX experts out there confirm what the 'group of ports' process is for the creation and how it relates exactly to host only vSwitch?

  I have created a vSwitch1 as host only with no attached NIC (as by the other topic, I found) I want to clone and initialize some test of hot P2V but they don't have any real network connections.

  I use vSphere to do this, and I'm new to ESX...

  You will still need to create a virtual machine on the new vSwitch port group, but if the vSwitch has no physical NIC are attributed to him, then the traffic on this vSwitch will be isolated.
