• Question about the volume on several virtual machines sharing

  Hey!

  Try to use vmkfstools on Vi remote CLI, but he says that he is not recognized as an internal or external command... Is there an easy way to share data between several virtual machines? If so, how? Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building our vitrual (windows 2008 Server) with the typical c: or d: drives? That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive and data on a disk separate from virtual D:? Or is it no more? What about the Windows swap files? Must create us virtual drives, JUST for page files? Sorry I know this is a lot, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  1. is there an easy way to share data between several

  virtual machines? If so, how? A CIFSor NFS share would be preferable. Since I got you guess the VMS are mainly Windows you want to go with a CIFS share. You can run a virtual NAS appliance  (http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/)

  Also if we are implementing raid 5 are we building

  our vitrual Server (windows server 2008) with the typical c: or d: drives?

  That is to say. You put the Windows Server 2008 on a separate virtual C: drive

  and the data on a virtual disk from D:? Or does not everything

  more? Yes design you virtual as your physical systems i.e. separate Boot/system information application. just build you VMs how you would with physical systems (especially true of SQL or Exchange).

  What about the Windows swap files? We create virtual drives

  Yet, ONLY for page files? Never did it for physical so no systems

• Questions about the archive/delete a virtual machine for later retrieval.

  We run VSphere 4.0 in a 10-node cluster.    We have a VM we want to remove the system, but we want to archive it so that we can restore it later if necessary.

  Initially, I was counting on stop the virtual machine, the navigation data store and copy the files to a local disk using the button 'Download' on the data store.  Then after the copy, by an "out of disk" on the VM on VCenter.

  Then later if we need the machine back, download the files and do a 'add to inventory' on the VMDK file.

  However, when I did the download, I noticed that VMDK files on the downloaded folder had names with "-flat" added to them.  So 'server.vmdk' became 'server - flat hard '.

  If I copy these files with the '-dish "in the name in VMWare later, they will come to OK?

  Or, given that I'm trying to (archive a virtual machine), is there a better way to do this?

  Your comments would be appreciated.

  That is right.  "Every hard disk to a virtual machine consists of a pair of files hard. One is a text file containing descriptive data on the virtual hard disk, and the second is the actual content of this disc. For example, a virtual machine named examplevm has a drive attached to it. This disc consists of a file less than 1 KB examplevm.vmdk descriptor and a 10 GB examplevm - flat hard flat file, that contains the contents of the virtual machine. ' - of Ko 1002511.

• Reduce the size of a virtual machine

  Hi all

  I run VMware Player 3.1 on Windows 7 Pro, and I have created a virtual machine for XP mode. This machine was created with a disc on a maximum of 127 G, of which only 13 G are used at the present time. I want to reduce the maximum size of 30 G but cannot find how.

  Is there a way to do this?

  Thank you

  My suggestion would be to resize the partition and cancel the remaining dynamic space allocation.  This can be done, for example, by starting the machine virtual with a Linux Live CD (or .iso image) and use gparted or install and use a program like EASEUS Partition Master or similar.

  While the size of the virtual hard disk will always remain 127 GB however it will contain only the max size to set the partition and with unallocated space, you have space to grow easily in necessary in the future.  By the way I'm assuming that the existing virtual hard drive is not allocated in advance and is growable.  If it is allocated in advance, then you must use vmware-vdiskmanager to change the disc type.  If using vmware-vdiskmanager take a look to: repair of a ramdisk in Fusion 3.1 and Workstation 7.1

  It is advertised as having 128 GB SSD, but according to the PC of the information there are 101 on the C drive and 3.99 GB on the D drive. This only adds to 104,99 GB. Is someone can you please tell me where are the remaining 23 GB?

  Just to clarify, Go 104.99 is no space AVAILABLE, it's total capacity. The available space is only 67GB, which is not much at all I installed practically anything outside of a few documents.

• Question about the size of the swf

  Hi all, I had a small question. I have some old .swf files that I made a long time ago, but I do not have the .flas. I have trouble finding the size (height and width) of these files. I want to use the swfobject to embed, is there a way to find out just how big, or is it possible to use swfobject without declaring a size?

  Thanks for any advice.

  If you double-click the SWF file to open it, it should open in the Flash Player to its actual size.  SO, you should be able to get a screenshot of it and then determine the size of the crop of this screenshot.

• Question about the size of the drops shadow

  Hi all!

  I created a style that contains only a custom shadow. I frequently use this style of illustrations that I am creating a book.

  However, since the update to 2014 CC, I had a problem with the style. The size of the shadow is different on each illustration that I apply it. I initially created the style to have a px size 7, but now, when it is applied, the size is sometimes 22 px, sometimes 30 px, sometimes 5 px.

  Can someone tell me what is happening and how I can get the size drops shadow remains constant whenever I apply it?

  Thanks in advance!

  In my opinion, than if you create a predefined layer style Adobe store the resolution of the document that you were editing when you created the preset in the preset this Photoshop which allows the effect of style to the resolution of the document to which you apply the style layer presets.

  Layer style setting as you are in absolute terms in pixels.  That means the size of the shadow would would vary on document with different resolutions, notice in the layers of the menu it is layer > layer Style > effects of scale... and dialog (s) in the size of the Image there is a scale Styles box or a balance setting Styles...

  If it works differently in version CC 15 is then was CC version 14, they can be a new bug.

  If you want a shadow of 7px regardless of the resolution of documents that you can be able to save an action that add a PX 7 shadow using the layer Style dialog box does not use a predefined style.

  I created a Drop Shadow preset on a 300 DPI Document distance 2 px size 7px.  Then, I recorded an action the applied than preset and then applies the same settings using the style layer instead of the preset dialog box.  There is a big difference on the way in which the two steps were recorded.

  When I walk through the action on a 300 DPI paper shadows looks the same.  On a 72 dpi document that the shadow of a Preset seems small as 300 DPI document however the step which was recorded with the shadow layer Layer Style dialog box looking for him much more leap has been reduced to match the resolution of 72 dpi for documents.

  So it look like if you use a style of layer preset in style palette, the effect will be to change the resolution DPI of documents.  Notice in the action there is a layer Style scale 100% in step recorded using dialogue layer style.   Where the pre-defined DS is applied some how by Photoshop and Photoshop will scale the effect...

• Question about the size of the redo log buffer

  Hello
  
  I am a student in Oracle and the book I use says that having a bigger than the buffer log by default, the size is a bad idea.
  
  It sets out the reasons for this are:
  
  >
  The problem is that when a statement COMMIT is issued, part of the batch validation means to write the contents of the buffer log for redo log to disk files. This entry occurs in real time, and if it is in progress, the session that issued the VALIDATION will be suspended.
  >
  
  I understand that if the redo log buffer is too large, memory is lost and in some cases could result in disk i/o.
  
  What I'm not clear on is, the book makes it sound as if a log buffer would cause additional or IO work. I would have thought that the amount of work or IO would be substantially the same (if not identical) because writing the buffer log for redo log files is based on the postings show and not the size of the buffer itself (or its satiety).
  
  Description of the book is misleading, or did I miss something important to have a larger than necessary log buffer?
  
  Thank you for your help,
  
  John.
  
  Published by: 440bx - 11 GR 2 on August 1st, 2010 09:05 - edited for formatting of the citation

  A commit evacuates everything that in the buffer redolog for redo log files.
  A redo log buffer contains the modified data.
  But this is not just commit who empty the redolog buffer to restore the log files.
  LGWR active every time that:
  (1) a validation occurs
  (2) when the redo log is 1/3 full
  (3) every 3 seconds
  It is not always necessary that this redolog file will contain validated data.
  If there is no commit after 3 seconds, redologfile would be bound to contain uncommitted data.

• Question about the size of the Previews folder

  Hello

  This is my first question on Lightroom, so I would really appreciate help ^^

  My setup is as follows: a LR catalog, with about 51,000 photos. The total size of the pictures takes up approximately 252 GB (they are between 10 Mpx-22MP).

  I implemented the previews as follows: auto-size (2560px), average quality, ignore the insights 1:1 after 1 day.

  Now my previews is 50 GB!

  Is this normal?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  Yes this is normal looking at the configuration and the number of images that you have in the catalog.

  Check this similar to the forum thread.

  I hope it will be useful.

• Question about the size of a DVD file made?

  Hi all

  I just finished my first home using Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4 video. My source is a consumer HD camcorder. When I created the PP project, I chose the AVCHD format to keep the best possible quality. Yes Iimported files in PP, apply some transition effects and the title a bit. Then I sent the sequence again via dynamic links. When you create the project in again, I chose the Blu ray. I therefore created a menu and all the navigation, added a subtitle and background music. Initially, I wanted to created a DVD of my video to give the members of the family, so I'll drive created, select output DVD and make the video. Now, here's my problem: the created DVD folder is 7 GB, and my pictures are only 1h45min. I always thought that a single layer 4.7 GB could hold about 2 hours of video? My source in HD, but by selecting the DVD release, shouldn't she converted to SD and fit a 4.7 GB disc? What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks for your help.

  Bruno

  You can change the transcoding settings, by default the transcoding settings are automatic which is for the best possible quality. Right-click on the media in the project Panel, and then select settings for transcoding. Change settings for transcoding DVD NTSC DV high quality 4 MB VBR 2 pass for transcoding. You will be able to check the change in disk space on disk under building Board info after transcoding. If there are still more than you must try with 4 MB or of poor quality.

• Question about the use of EM on machine with 2 active instances

  Hello
  
  As a free workout, I created 2 instances on a single machine. The machine is, server and client. I'm running Windows XP SP2, Oracle 11 GR 2 (as seen in my handful of user) and using IE7 for MS.
  
  The URL of the first instance is:
  

  https://Oracle2Day1.john.local:1158/em

  The URL for the second instance is:
  

  https://Oracle2Day1.john.local:5500/em

  If I connect to one and the same instance, then everything works fine.
  
  When I log you at first, then in the second instance, and switch back to the tab of the first instance, I find myself back at the page "user name/password / Connect as", even I don't get the page saying that I was disconnected in the first instance.
  
  Of more, if at this time, I return to the tab of the second instance, I find myself on the page "user name/password / Connect as ' for this instance too.
  
  Basically, whenever I log in proceedings and switch to tab from one case to another, it brings back me to the log in page for both instances.
  
  If I connect in one instance and do not try to connect to the second instance then everything works fine.
  
  Any ideas as to why I can't be connected to two instances at the same time? (I myself can be connected in two cases, simultaneously using SQL * more without any problem) Is there something I can do to fix this or is it "normal"?
  
  Thank you for your help,
  
  John.

• Question about the location of a host of virtual machines

  I work on temporarily to change the behavior of the DRS for a particular VM (in VI Perl), but my question is more general research of the root 'to host' for a particular virtual machine.

  The installation of the infrastructure program:

  + Folder1

  - + Cluster1

  -

  ---

  + Esx1

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  -

  ---

  + Esx2

  -

  ---

  + VMs

  .. .etc

  There are several clusters on different servers in this configuration.

  In order to manage the DRS by VM, I find the cluster that hosts the virtual machine.  The $vm_view - & gt; parent returns one 'value' (other than the name of folder) folder.  It seems that the only way to match the virtual machine to the cluster of accommodation is to do a brute force search, open multiple views and retrieve the values of each until I have a match, and then looking through each cluster in the corresponding folder to find the one that contains the virtual machine.

  Am I wrong?  It is an ugly and ineffective way to find the host for a virtual machine.  If I am not mistaken, are there plans for the addition of the hierarchy of the path to the view of the VM?

  A $view - & gt; config - & gt; value of path containing something like: file - & gt; Cluster - & gt; ESX Server - & gt; VM would be useful.  In addition, a function which maps values of resources to names of resources would be very helpful (with a code depend on a 'value' of the 'field-c125"and any other code that depends on a 'name' of"Cluster1"creates a lot of extra work).

  Thank you

  -David

  You can determine the Cluster that host a virtual machine by browsing through the ResourcePool of the virtual machine. Owner of the ResourcePool is the ClusterComputeResource who manages the virtual machine.

  $vm_view-> resourcePool->owner

  Also, to get the HostSystem that contains the Virtual Machine, you can follow the path

  $vm_view-> run-> home

  Regarding your suggestion to have a predefined path to access a managed entities, we have after explanation.  There are different paths through which you can access to the different managed

  entities of your inventory according to its hierarchy. Virtual Infrastructure gives you the flexibility to design your inventory. You can add a folder or host or a Cluster directly to your data center.

  Then it still allows a folder to have three objects as its child entity. If the path for any entity depends on the structure of your inventory. If a path can be set.

  All managed objects are uniquely identified managed objects ID. Name can be dupilcate for few entities in a data center, you can have two Resourcepools with the same name in different groups. Similarly, you can even named so that each entity is mapped using an object ID, and not a property 'name '.

• A question about the virtual processors in the prompt

  Dear Sir

  I have a general question about the number of virtual processors in the guest system.

  I use VMware ESXi 4.0.

  Say if my physical host has only 2 cups carrots (with or without HT should be the same), then is - it true that I can only attribute 2 virtual processors per virtual machine?

  Is it possible to give 4, 8 virtual processors in virtual machines?

  In my drop down menu I can NOT choose more than 2 virtual processors per virtual machine, I want to just make sure that it is not the problem of license.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Nanfang,

  So the general rule is the number of vcpus don't CAN NEVER exceed the number of physical processors. Is this correct?

  Replace "physical cpu" by "physical cores" and you are right, because a vCPU is mapped to a kernel. For example, you can assign 4 vCPU with a Quad-Core processor.

  If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. If you would be able to map 2 vCPU to the base, the vCPUs had to wait for them all the time because the physical kernel can simply perform an action at a time, why you would decrease the performance of your virtual machine by setting 2 vCPUs.

  It is not changed in vSphere 5.
