Questions about VMware View

Hi, I need to provide always on desktops to remote 50 users. I have been using VMware workstation to provide these desktop computers, but it was a temporary solution that is quick and easy.

I started by installing the free ESXi which works fine except that these virtual machines are running an application that requires DirectX. When reading information VMware views looks like it's maybe the solution I need, but I can't say if she can provide always on workstations or if desktop computers are provided according to the needs. My 2nd concern is cost. I don't mind spending the money for VMware View, but looks like I have to have seen running in AD and that it will require me to install many other products such as VMware infrastructure 3.5. Someone has some good links to install VMware View and the provisioning of desktops?

When you purchase View 4.5, business or first, you get ESX and vSphere vCenter / I.  If you are supported on this part.  You don't need to buy that separately.

With respect to reviews, the guides are:

To start using the doc started get: http://pubs.vmware.com/view45/ol/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=get_started/t_getstarted.html

http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/VMware-View45-evaluators-Guide.PDF -> is excellent for your POC on VMWare View.

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/view45_installation_guide.pdf -> installation guide.

You will need to have Active Directory in your environment.  View is used to automatically configure your desktop to your users.

If you use clones of link or local mode (the ability to check your workstations), then you will need to Prime Minister, Enterprise edition will be beneficial.

Hope this helps,

Larry

  • a question about VMware View

    Hello

    I want to know when we prepare a parent VM and install us one application on which allowed as Kaspersky endpoint security or other, what is happening with this when the composer creates the linked clones? How the linked clones take permit?

    and if the virtual machine is not persistent (I mean whenever a client connects to it, she creates, and every time it disconnects the virtual machine will be deleted) then what happens to software with license? and what about the name of the computer? and what is being added to the Active directory?

    Thank you

    Thank you Mohammed.

  • Questions about vmware high availability

    Dear all,

    I am new in this area, we intend to deploy vmware 5 in our environment by using the HA, I am a student in this regard. I have a few questions about this, I need assistance by experts in this field:

    -J' read the vmware network redundancy is strongly recommended for the configuration of vmware HA, but I haven't fully?

    -When vmware HA is configured and there are two hosts in the cluster, now when creating a new machine virtual, I need to specify under which host this new virtual machine must reside OR the HA feature will automatically decide on that?

    -When vmware HA is set up and I have two hosts in cluster, a host processors 4physical and 8 GB of RAM, the other host is also even have 4 physical processors and 8 GB of RAM, so for me which are the sets of resources will be presented? I will be display individually for each host resources when you create a new virtual machine, OR I will be presented with a SUM of resources 1 + 2 host resources to play?

    -Is it possible that I assigned 4 vCPU virtual machine and 4 GB Mem and it uses little resources from host 1 and few resources to host 2, as 2 vCPU to host 1 and 2 GB and still host 2vCPU 2 and remains 2GB (given that I am presented with the SUM of the cluster as mentioned in my second question resources)

    -J' read operating system failure when in vmHA particular VM will be restarted on the same host it resides, that means? If the BONE broke down, then when new virtual machine starts, it will be also having fallen copy of OS? I mean how this new machine will be launched, it's a copy identical secondary virtual machine crashed?

    Waiting for your help.

    Kind regards
    Jocelyn

    OK, consider cases that I am only using HA and no DRS, in this case I need to specify under what host to run VM?

    I read the first question again, then please, let me make this clear. When you create a new virtual machine, you must always specify a host and storage.

    Initial investment (when you are powering on a virtual machine) is a feature of the Drs without DRS a virtual machine can only be migrated to another host manually or with the virtual machine shut down (cold migration) or using vMotion (if allowed).

    But because of an event leading to the crash of the OS reboot also not solve the problem, correct me if I understood? This is also true for FT?

    You're right, HA can restart only a virtual machine. If there is a serious issue that causes the BONE invited to plant that regularly, this is not enough and you have to solve the problem manually. FT cannot resolve as she makes it "mirrors" the guest to another host, so it will also reflect a BSOD.

    Yes, FT has still some limitations. However, there are use cases where availability is important and FT is designed to ensure continuous availability in the event of a crash the host.

  • Question about creating view

    Hi all

    for example, I need to give permission for a user that has select permission on a table, but I need to hide certain columns in the table for that user.

    I know for this application there need create a view and assign the columns needed to this point of view, then give

    access to select this point of view of a user.

    My question is: this view will affect anything if I create? He will take the tablespace volume?

    Or there is no effect and I can create?

    the table to which it is necessary to create point of view is very large.


    A view is nothing else than a stored query, so no, it's not going to take place to create, with the exception of a very trivial amount of space in the data dictionary to store the definition.

  • Question about VMware Converter traffic

    Hi all

    Hoping someone can shed some light on this. I do a P2V on a physical server in site A and destination ESXi host is also at the site. However, the field 'destination' in the VMware converter must be the vCenter server which is on the Site B (via a 6 MB WAN connection) as the destination host is managed by a vCenter server. My question is if I use the server vCenter (located on a WAN connection) as a destination and then choose the host located on the local site in the converter, converter traffic flow over the WAN? Or is it just flow locally from the Source to the Destination and just use the vCenter server as a server of type "authentication" for the initial Setup?

    And as a side note, if I set the destination host ESXi as a destination in the converter instead of the vCenter server, I get the error indicated in this KB. http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2012310

    With the help of converter 5.5.1

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Traffic passes from the source computer to the destination ESX. You will have a small slowdown in the wizard before you start converting mainly to get the VC inventory. See the graphics in the user pp. 11-13 guide

    Concerning

    P.S. If you want to V2V, keep the server converter on site A, too as in this case, that the data passes through it.

  • A few questions about VMware tools and U2 of ESXi 4.0 and 4.1

    In my workplace, there is a cluster of vSphere 4 six nodes containing 5 servers ESXi 4.0 U2 (4.0.0, 261974) and a server ESXi 4.1 (4.1.0, 260247).  Aparently, it was built that way in the environment concept then deployed into production and now I head for VMware deployment.  This environment is up in producgtion now for over 8 months with this configuration, but starting to be more widely used.  Ideally, I know, we should have all the nodes on the same patch level, but here's the question.

    Models used to get the operating system to the virtual machines in this environment were built on the apparently new 4.1 server using this version of VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859).  All so most of the running virtual machines, use this version of VMware tools.  Using this new version of VMware tools on a virtual machine running on a server ESXi 4.0 U2 ESXi would cause issues?  ESXi 4.0 U2 servers push version 4.0.0 build 261974 of the VMware tools, identical to the ESXi version.  The status of the VMware tools when the new 4.1 version is running on a host of U2 4.0 still shows as OK and we have operated this way for more than 8 months.

    Another problem is that we have still a few other virtual machines with the 4.0 build U2 VMware tools so when these virtual machines will eventually be VMotioned to an ESXi 4.1 host, VMware tools show as outdated.

    Until we can get of planned downtime to upgrade the servers, it should be like that for several weeks if possible.  We have HL7 interfaces on many of these virtual machines that are not too good with VMotion and being in an organization of health care, sometimes difficult to get downtime.  It is perhaps more possible to downgrade the only host to 4.0 U2 until we can plan time to upgrade all hosts.  I would keep the node in the cluster, even if for the moment, assuming that to release 4.1 with other guests at 4.0 U2 should not cause problems, since we can use the resources of that node in this cluster.

    Until then, ensuring that all the virtual machines in the cluster use the ESXi version 4.1 of the VMware tools (Version 8.3.2 build-257859) would be acceptable?  I just wanted to check that this version should be fully backwards compatible with the previous version of ESXi 4.0 U2, and as I mentioned before, its run like that and have noticed yet all the problems and the status of the VMware Tools also records OK when this new version works on ESXi 4.0 U2 host computer.  I just wanted some feedback from those of the community.

    Thank you

    Exactly, do you VMotion, virtual host 4.1 machine and if necessary would upgrade the VMware tools. To install VMware tools, it is necessary to restart the virtual machine.

    And another option that I say is the first upgraded version of all hosts ESXi4.0 U2 to 4.1, after that, you do an upgrade in the tools of all virtual machines vmware.

    Perfect.

    You´re are welcome!

  • Question about VMware Foundation Acceleration Kit

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't get frequent on licenses for the stuff. Ive looked at the PDF licenses and below shows the paragraph that confuses me a little. The Foundation acceleration Kit only allows you to run ESXi?

    Ive got 2 sites that I need installation, one with 1 x VC server. 2 x with 2 x cpus esx hosts each and another site running a different copy of VC, 1 host ESX x with 2 x CPus.

    What would be the best option?

  • Question about LogMiner Viewer GUI

    Good evening

    I wanted to start the graphical interface of LogMiner Viewer (which the Concepts book said done in Enterprise Manager).

    I found nothing in Enterprise Manager, who seemed to be the LogMiner Viewer GUI. (might have missed)

    After a little research on Google, I found this:
    oemapp.bat lmviewer
    I've looked everywhere and there is no oemapp.bat anywhere on my machine.

    I searched the area to download Oracle, thinking that maybe it was something that I needed to download. Has not found such a thing. (found a lot of good documentation)

    The question: How can I get the LogMiner Viewer GUI? (I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 - 32-bit Oracle GR 11, 2)

    Thank you for your help,

    John.

    Published by: 440bx - 11 GR 2 on August 9, 2010 18:38 - added "GUI viewer" in the thread title

    John,

    Unfortunately, it's a little confusing. I have check the Concepts guide that asks the person to consult the guide for LogMiner Utlities. But in the guide to public services, they mention this sql interface only one graphical interface is not displayed. In the search for the RTO, all the Log Miner, this brilliant page will appear that except by saying that it is good and can be called through GUI, does not say anything else.
    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/logmineroverview-088844.html

    I tried to find the same in Enterprise Manager help, but he also didn't tell em anything on this subject. But further research has revealed that Arup article that does not explain the flow of Logminer in EM.
    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/articles/SQL/11g-transactionmanagement-092065.html

    According to this article, there is no direct link to call the tool, but it happens in action in the backend. I'll give it a try today while I am running 11.2 here in my session as well.

    It will be useful.

  • Questions about the views system...

    Hello

    (1) why this 2 queries are not similar?

    Select count (*) from SAMPLE_TABLE;
    Select num_rows from user_all_tables where table_name = 'SAMPLE_TABLE. "

    (2) in the views system, I can learn about primary piece?

    (3) where I can the description of each of the views system and what information it contain?

    Best.

    (a) the statistics in views because _TABLES are only updated when you calculate freshly statistics, while the number of rows in a table established by count (*) is dynamic and always up-to-date.
    (b) what do you know about primary keys? The columns that make up their, for example? USER_CONSTRAINTS where constraint_type = 'P' will tell you what primary key constraints exist and the indexes are used to enforce them. You can then do a query of USER_INDEXES and USER_IND_COLUMNS to work on the columns are part of these indices, where they are stored and so on.
    (c) the official documentation lists each view (see part II of this page, for example: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/toc.htm)

  • Question about VMware Tools when upgrading of vSphere 5.1 to 5.5

    We are the vSphere upgrade 5.1 to 5.5. We have still a few virtual machines with obsolete tools VMware vSphere 4.  There problems upgrade to vSphere 5.5 and then upgrade VMware Tools on those virtual machines to the version 5.5?  Or should we upgrade VMware Tools version 5.1 first before doing the upgrade to vSphere 5.5? We need plan restarting downtime when upgrading to VMware Tools on those virtual machines and would rather not upgrade VMware Tools twice and planning two stops

    There is no problem, as vSphere ESXi 5.5 supports the VM running older versions of VMware Tools.

  • A few questions about VMware Flash Read Cache (vFRC)

  • Question about Get-View

    Note:

    I use () instead of media because this page don't like the media.

    Hello

    For some reason when I use the following code:

    Get - VM | Get-View | % {

    $_. CustomFields ("Barcode")

    I get a cannot index into a table null error.

    But... If I use this code:

    $Vms = get - VM

    {foreach ($vm to $vms)

    $Vm.CustomFields ("Barcode")

    }

    It takes more time, but it works without error.

    Does anyone know why this is? Is there a known issue with the cmdlet Get-view?

    Thank you

    Looking to 2 things different here.

    The Get - Vm cmdlet returns a VirtualMachineImpl object that contains the CustomFields property.

    Get - VM | Get-views as you watch a VirtualMachine object that has a property customValue (but no CustomFields property).

  • A few questions about VMWare HA

    Hello everyone,

    I would like to tell you my ideas on VMWare HA.

    I have two ESX servers. Each of them, I have:

    • vSwicth0 (vmnic1 + vmnic 3):

      • The VM network

      • Service console

    • vSwicth1 (vmnic0 + vmnic 2):

      • VMotion VMkernel

      • NetApp VMkernel (iSCSI storage)

      • NetApp Console service

    When I stop one of the two servers, powered on virtual machines migrate to another.

    I read on vmware documentation for VMWare HA, there are two cases:

    • failure (for example, stop the server)

    • response of isolation (Console of Service not responding)

    I tried to follow all the recommendations of VMWare by adding another Console of dedicated Service for HA on a different subnet, but I failed to run the response of isolation procedure.

    I see my virtual machines 'disconnected' and I can't turn them off as I have it configured in HA.

    I would like to virtual machines to migrate when vmnic1 or vmnic0 + vmnic 3, vmnic 2 is declining. Is this possible?

    If so, is there something that I misunderstood on HA or a mistake in my setup?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Since you have with a SC vSwitch0 and vSwitch1 with a SC, both will be down for things to be isolated. It's not one or the other, but both. You can assign up to have one, but don't not one or the other, one or both.

  • Question about a view inline or function within SQL

    Hi all


    I would like to know if using a view inline with a sql query is better or a call of function within the sql query is preferable.

    When I check the plan explained in both cases I see no difference in the cost.

    Appreciate your valuable suggestions on this.


    Thank you
    Maddy K.

    A function of a query will be worse than an inline view, given the context of switching between SQL and PL/SQL engines.
