• SRM 5 guest operating system support

  I looked through the of compatibility Matrices for vCenter Site Recovery Manager 5.0 and see that RHEL 5.7 is not on the list.  He jumps from RHEL 5.5 to 6.0 RHEL.  It was last updated November 11, 2011, anyone know if RHEL 5.7 is now supported?  I was unable to find anything saying this is, and it would be very unfortunate if that were the case.

  Thank you!

  For clarity, the SRM 5.0 Campatability matrix shows only what VMware is considered most popular operating systems. The key is that SRM 5.0 supports the protection and recovery of all the operating systems supported by vSphere 5.0 comments. The full list of which are using the two links below:

• vCenter 4.1 Update 1 "Guest Operating System support customization"

  I was reading the release notes for vCenter 4.1 update 1. I noticed this statement regarding the additional customization support:

  "Additional support for customization of the operating system called: vCenter Server now supports the customization of the following systems: Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x 32 and x 64)".

  (1) this means that we should not patch our model of Windows 2008 R2 with SP1, if we're still using vCenter 4.1 (without Update 1)?

  (2) in addition, it is possible that someone has already patched our model of Windows 2008 R2 with SP1. What would be the consequences or potential issues if some virtual machines have already been deployed and customized in vCenter 4.1 (without Update 1)?

  I doubt I'll see any error, warning or other if I tried to customize, but I want to assure you that it is not some underlying issues that would not easily noticeable.

  The reason is simple... SP1 is RTM and will be released in the coming weeks.

  First version of vCenter 4.1 can not support only because that there was not.

  Does not support does not mean that it is does not work (sorry for the pun).

• Question for ESXi or VMware Server guest operating system license

  Hello - I'm sure it's more a matter of Microsoft, but I have not found anything definitive - perhaps people who use really this out...

  My goal is to create two virtual servers from MS Windows 2008 Std 64 bit on the server of VMWare or ESXi installable. I bought Windows 2008 Std, 11 (a phyiscal and a virtual) licenses. Is I meet problems by using only 11 license to create two virtual servers? I'll have to buy another copy of MS Windows 2008 std 1 + 1 to create two virtual servers?    THX.

  -steve

  Its one of these licenses MS issues, but it relates to virtualization because you intend to virtualize it so here's the guide, you can check http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/C/A/FCAB58A9-CCAD-4E0A-A673-88A5EE74E2CC/Windows_Server_2008_Virtual_Tech-VL_Brief-Jan_09.docx and the best way to check is to call MS support for free since MS tends to change they licenses positions often is the only way to ensure that its accuracy.

  Product	Maximum allowed instances running in a virtual environment by license
  Windows Server 2008 Standard	One
  Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition	Four
  Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition	Unlimited
  Windows Server 2008 for Itanium Based Systems	Unlimited
  Windows Web Server 2008	One *.

• T of what guest operating systems will start the VMware Support for EFI?

  Is there a list of support guest OS for the EFI firmware?  Mianly supported by VMware - do not try, fail, call support technique etc etc.   My experiences on the TP forums, I guess that there is not.  Some OS (such as Windows Server) come with a screen to choose BIOS/EFI firmware.  If not, you need to go to setting > Hard Drive OPtions-> advanced _ > boot using EFI.  In particular there at - it versions of Linux that you give you option of BIOS/EFI firmware before the confutation of VM is complete, so the hard drive then be custom.

  We will officially support the EFI firmware for any guest operating system to which all the following conditions are met:

  • We list this guest operating system, supported in the VMware Compatibility Guide for operating systems and your virtualization product.
  • The guest operating system supports EFI in the operating system installation media.
  • Support the guest OS EFI has no catastrophic flaws (for example Fedora 12 x 64, FreeBSD 11, Centos 6.0 through all the 6.2 have catastrophic flaws).

  New computer virtual assistant of 11 workstation has only the option of EFI firmware for Windows clients.  Special mention, do not yet support us Easy Install for non EFI customers in 11 workstations.  For all other customer support EFI OSes, you can do a manual installation after choosing the EFI firmware in the virtual machine settings > Options > Advanced > Boot with EFI instead of the BIOS.

  I don't understand your concern about the personalization of the hard drive... Could you elaborate?

  See you soon,.

• Unable to ping guest operating system host

  Hello

  I've set up the vmware workstation as below:

  [Vmware VPC] guest operating system running on windows server 2003 standard edition.

  Host OS running on windows server 2003 standard edition.

  Used IP address are as follows:

  Guest operating system [VPC Vmware]

  IP address: 192.168.15.74

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: 192.168.15.1

  Host operating system

  IP address: 192.168.15.34

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: 192.168.15.1

  VMNet1

  IP address: 192.168.15.1

  Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

  The network adapter used to connect the guest OS no [Host].

  I was able to ping between host and guest, but unable to do the reverse. [guest to host]

  The gateway can also be ping of two BONES.

  Firewall of these two OS are off.

  Can we ask or advise me about this problem? Thank you.

  Shacky wrote: I need to connect to a device that is on the live network. I need to connect the guest and the device so that they can talk to each other.

  So why you use VMnet1 Host only and does not connect to the physical LAN?  You should use linked by a bridge.

  Suggest that read 14 chapters (setting up a virtual network) & 15 (advanced virtual networking) in the user of the workstation manual in order to gain a better understanding of the Virtual Network Infrastructure.

• Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  People,

  Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

  People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

  Thanks in advance.

  As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

  And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

  VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  I install WIN 2003 x 64 as a virtual server on ESX 4, when I select LSI logic SAS & LSI logic parallel it does not detect the hard drive, do I need driver if so where can I download?

  For parallel bus logic (not recommended for the guest operating system) & Vmware paravirtual, do I have to select this option for my win 2003 R2 x 64 edition?

  If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

• VMWARE Newbie - installation problems with the guest operating system

  I heard a lot about the use of VMWARE for a long time so I downloaded and then installed ESXI 3.5 on a test area.  I installed the client and have been able to create a new virtual machine.  However, I run into some difficulty with installing a guest operating system.  All the pdf that I could find have suggested that simply by putting a CD in the server's drive and then turn on the virtual machine would start the my guest operating system installation process.  Unfortunately, my VM doesn't seem to see my CDRom and tent drive a start-up network, followed by a brief wait for the message 'Operating system not found' timeout.

  Can someone please help me find a way to create a new guest OS on my VM so that I can.

  1. understand the process

  2 start testing.

  Thank you in advance.

  If you have installed of course the VI Client to create the VM, and you insert the CD into the ESXi host? You can go to change settings on the virtual machine, click the CD/DVD and select the option use the host device. Also ensure the connection to turn on is checked.  When you turn on the virtual machine, it should see the CD that you inserted in your ESXi host. Once you get the operating system to load, you can configure to allow remote desktop connections and access the VM as a traditional physical machine, rather than relying on the console of the VI Client view.

• Oracle DB 11 g OracleEnterpriseLinux 5.4 2 (Windows XP VMware guest operating system)

  Hello
  
  I have Windows XP (host system) running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 as guest operating system in VMWare 2.0. I followed the steps explained in [Tim Hall - Oracle-Base | http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR2InstallationOnEnterpriseLinux5.php] and seem to have gotten all the steps correctly and successfully until the final. Then, I also found the following questions. Please let me know if you have encountered these problems and know the solution:
  
  ----------
  H5. Installation of Oracle Enterprise Manager error
  Oracle Enterprise Manager (em) is not installed. Got an error message, then a warning in the installation process asking me to look at the log, but did not find much info about her.
  
  How can I install Oracle Enterprise manager? *
  Status: resolved
  Until_
  I got the bad environment variables. Fixed $ORACLE_HOME. Used emca db rest recreate / create. Get an error or another.
  Solution:_
  removed the SYSMAN account. Some synonyms and issued the following command

  emca -deconfig dbcontrol db

  emca -config dbcontrol db -repos recreate

  The repository is created successfully.
  ----------
  H5. Unrecognized SQLPLUS to other users
  I could access the database by Oracle user, I have to add another user to the OINSTALL group, so that I can access through SQLPLUS? From the SQLPLUS command now that other users are not recognized at all. I need to log in as questions SQLPLUS to access DB and oracle.
  
  How can I access under SQLPLUS as other users? *
  Status: resolved
  Solution:_
  Define oraenv. Run on the shell.
  . oraenv
  and you can run sqlplus and sqlplus command will be honored.
  ---------
  H5. NOT accessible from Windows
  I can't access Windows. I need to use PuTTy and connect as 'oracle' (Unix user) and access it via SQLPLUS. The fact that I am able to connect through the PuTTY for Windows and the possibility to access the Apache Web server (running on port 80) lacked access oracle port 1521 intrigues me.
  
  How can access Windows (using SQLPLUS or Oracle SQL Developer)? *
  Status: resolved
  Solution:_
  earpiece not working. I started it with

  lsnrctl start

  and I'm done. I am now able to connect through SQL Developer.

  H4. Remarks on the lookout
  Check your environment variables. If you have trouble, it is difficult to correct.
  Read the bloody error logs. They have all the necessary information to set.
  
  Thanks a lot for, phiri. Well enough, he has resolved these questions. Nearly 60 positions, I thought I need to drop the DB and recreate everything, he pulled it like a magic. Happy to have him here. :)
  Thanks in advance.
