Publish a 11 SUSE Enterprise Linux VM created in workstation 7 ESX 3.5

Hello

I created a SUSE Enterprise 11 VM Workstation 7, and now that I have to work properly, I would like to publish to our

Cluster ESX 3.5.  However, I'm running problems. I use the VMware Converter v 4.0.2 for Vi Client plugin.

When I try to import the virtual machine I get an error "cannot determine the guest operating system: in the GUI, the logs on the server vCenter Server:

I think the answer is that you cannot import SUSE 11 VM to ESX 3.5 but I hope that this is NOT the case that I really really really need this virtual machine published in our ESX infrastructure. If this method will not work is there other options?

Do not use the plugin.  It does not yet support Linux.  Although this error may occur, the import process should work again as the previous system was a virtual machine.

If you are using the standalone version, treat the source like other / workstation, point to the VMX.  You can get an error, that's fine.  It must still allow you to process the import of ESX.

Last solution... Turn on the virtual machine and use the stand-alone converter to target IP address of the SUSE operating system inside the guest.  It treats like physics (step 1) and imports to ESX as usual.

Kind regards

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating instructions

    I only managed to get installed DAQmx and running RHEL 5 and I wanted to put the instructions here in the hopes that I could save someone else a large part of the time.

    First of all, I want to thank all who have contributed to the forums OR regarding the DAQmx Linux software installation. Most of the information contained in this how-to came directly from these two positions: Fedora Core 6 How-to and Fedora Core 5 - kernel 2.6.20 - 1.5 NATION howto

    A special thanks goes to ninevoltz, who took the time to understand apparently most of this stuff on and even pushed back the developers of the core on the limitation of length of symbol of modpost.

    Here are the steps I took when installing a PCIe-6259 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 2.6.18 - 53.1.19.el5 kernel:

    1. Add UTS_RELEASE to the version.h file

      • CD /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.19.el5/source/include/linux
      • CP version.h.dist version.h
      • Cat utsrelease.h version.h.dist > version.h
    2. Create a link to asm_offsets.h with an underscore in its name
      • CD /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.19.el5/source/include/asm
      • ln s asm - offsets.h asm_offsets.h
    3. Modify the application of modpost to accept names of symbol more of 500 characters
      • CD /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.19.el5/source/scripts/mod
      • CP modpost.c modpost.c.dist
      • Change the line 1116 '#define SZ 500' to '#define SZ 1024 "
      • CD /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.19.el5/source
      • do (Note: this will fail, but will get far enough to rebuild the modpost program.)
    4. Download ni.com NIDAQ800_RedHat.iso and install it
      • Mount-o loop/mnt NIDAQ800_RedHat.iso
      • CD/MNT
      • . / INSTALL

    7. Recompile the kernel modules OR
      • / usr/local/bin/updateNIDrivers
    8. reset

    This procedure worked great on my system, I was still able to run the application/usr/local/bin/DAQmxTestPanels successfully. I had read that others had to wrestle with some MesaLib to make it work.

    Yes, whoo hoo! And, good luck.

  • PCI-Gbspecifications installation on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5

    Hello

    I tried to install the beta version of the software for the PCI-GPIB on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 card.  Has anyone managed to do this?   I get an error message indicating that I need to install the package kernel-source to continue.  I did it by installing the package kernel-devel and kernel-head, but still receive the same error messages. I also tried to make a version of Redhat of the answer to Q5 in the Readme for this software, but again without success.  Someone can please help me out (and don't forget that I'm still pretty new to linux administration).

    Hello

    The actual error message said I'd need the kernel-source package to continue (I thought I had).

    In fact this morning I turned on the computer and just tried again, and it worked.  So somewhere between the kernel-devel/kernel-header download, try suggests SUSE difficulty in the readme file, and install the complete kernel as non-root sources (suggested by another linux forum), fixed it.

    Thank you very much!

  • Paths multiple problem with PowerVault MD3200i + Oracle Enterprise Linux (5,7)

    Hello

    I'm trying to configure MPIO on a host (running Oracle Enterprise Linux Server 5.7) connected to an Powervault MD3200i. I have a few unexpected problems with/dev/dm-0 missing after reboot.

    I configured 3 virtual disks (RAID 1) with MPIO. 3 devices have been created (/ dev/dm-0, / dev/dm-1 and/dev/dm-2).  If I mount them manually, they work very well, so I've added to the fstab. After a reboot, I checked that/dev/dm-1 and/dev/dm-2 have been automatically but is not/dev/dm-0. In fact, the/dev/dm-0 has disappeared from the directory of the device (!)

    If I rinse 'multipath f' and ' multipath - v2 "the device gets recreated, but disappears on the"
    next reboot again. How can I resolve this behavior? Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    See you soon

    I thought about it... the problem is that I had the wrong specified dev in fstab.

    Should I use the devices in/dev/map /... it worked immediately.

    Hi people,

    I need to perform a p2v of oracle enterprise Linux server.

    Can someone please tell me the correct procedure (if no document is available, that would be great ), thanks for the pointers.

    This was better than I expected, I downloaded converter 5.5.1 and it went smoothly, no reconfiguration needed, it installs GRUB, patch mount point entries in fstab and re-create the virtual disk original (all automatically).

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 (U5) crashes on startup after P2V

    Hi all

    I have a Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 5) Server I try to virtualize. It runs a Tomcat application but also an Oracle database. I am using vCenter Converter Standalone and don't receive any error during the process, but to try to start the virtual machine newly created after the completed P2V happens to the following before apparently locking and no progress any more (while I can still use the keys ALT + function to switch terminals, none displays nothing except #1). :

    SELinux: End of initialization.
    SELinux: Implementation of existing Superblocks.

    Looking at the DMESG log on the server running, I see that a few lines of a successful boot of the system should relate to the controller floppy drive or at least the lack of it:

    Insert the floppy driver for 2.6.9 - 55.ELsmp
    Floppy drive (s): fd0 is 1.44 M
    floppy0: not found floppy disk controller

    and then the env initialisation:

    Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet driver bnx2 v1.4.43 - HR (June 28, 2006)
    ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0 [A] - & gt; GSI 18 (low) - & gt; IRQ 185

    However with any combination of cards and diskettes being enabled and disabled controller doesn't seem to be able to get the VM at startup after the "SELinux: initialized (dev usbfs, type usbfs), uses genfs_contexts ' line. The server is orginially a HP DL360 G5.

    How can I fix this far? I would avoid that changes to the physical machine to a minimum in order to preserve the State of it, but with the advantage of taking snapshots, I am less concerned to make changes to the virtual machine.

    See you soon

    Sam

    That is a difficult question to debug.  I suspect a problem with the SELinux based on what you wrote.  You may consider to disable SELinux on the source before the conversion.

    In addition, it is advised to disable active servers (Tomcat and especially Oracle) before starting the conversion, you could try to do this.

    (If your question has been resolved please check the responses as 'Useful' or 'Correct').

    Some certifications and existing reviews seem to be spring upward with this logo attached, clarification would be useful.



    I confess that I feel the pass mark on this review associated with 57% is too low to justify the title of the certification associated without the title of devaluation. I wouldn't think of someone who passed this exam with 58% being sent to me as a specialist of Oracle partner Oracle Enterprise Linux network implementation. Probably a pass mark of 65 to 70% would be reasonable, and I would plump for 67%.

  • Oracle enterprise linux and oracle 10g?

    Hey;

    I am fairly new to try to download oracle and get installed on a linux machine. I made a few attempts on linux fedora core 10 and home edition of windows vista that does not go very far. Since I just passed my exams for ocp via a boot camp (yay for me!), I'm hoping to get a couple of linux boxes operational so that down the concepts by the practice.

    From what I read, it seems that I can download enterprise linux, put it on a system and then download oracle 10g and install this w/little or no difficulty (at least not expected...)

    Am I reading that right or did I miss something? Any info greatly apprecaited.

    You can download enterprise linux and 10g and go there. Pre-packaged for the components required to install the oracle Enterprise linux software, here is a link for further reference see cross-platform compatibility.

  • memory usage of Oracle on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.2

    Hello

    I installed a copy of Oracle 9.2.0.4 db server software (Enterprise edition) on Oracle Enterprise linux 5.2 (32 bit)
    After installing the software, I created two instances db with DBCA.

    Now the question is that, after I start the instance db, after awhile, I see more than 95% of the 8 GB of memory on this server in use.
    The size of sga max of these instances collectively is not more than 800 MB. In fact, even after closing one of the instances of memory
    consumption do not go down significantly because the instance is not assigned too much memory in the first place.

    With the help of TOP does not give a clear picture at all. If I keep the db instance down after restarting the server, consumption of memory is quite normal - less than 500 MB for all internal servers OS treats. SHMMAX is a default value of 4 GB and swap memory occupies about 16 GB. Another point that I want to stress is that I don't see most of the 16 GB memory swap are allocated. Nearly 90% of swap remains free.

    I was wondering how I can solve this problem on a new server.

    Hi usr1298

    I've installed a lot of servers Oracle Linux 2.1, 3,..., 5, and in each of them, I noted that the same behavior. At first when I saw this behavior, I thought something was wrong, but it's the behavior of memory on Linux when Oracle works. I think that default Oracle software reserves all this memory (90%) and that it uses on request but really the software does not use all the memory in a real way in the proceeding does not heavy operations. As I wrote, do not worry about this and worry on this subject when the swap space began to be used more than 20% despite the SGA_MAX_SIZE and the sum of the other parameters of memory does not receive nearly the total amount of RAM.

    Everything you did for RHEL5.2 will work perfectly in OEL5.2

    You raise a very good point: the unfortunate fact is that there is * nothing * to all to OEL a house "better" or "easier" for that plain old RHEL Oracle databases. There is no core set environment variable user parameters or pre configured, for example, it would be just for an Oracle straight out of the box installation: you must always you fix all exactly as if it were of RHEL.

    This is normal: OEL was and is intended to be binary compatible with RHEL and therefore no settings of Oracle or parameters that are not in RHEL can be included in the OEL.

    So yes, if it's complicated on RHEL, it is exactly as complicated as on OEL.

    (I'm biased though: If you use my script to doris, you will find that you can install Oracle on virtually any Linux distribution as easily as any other.)
