Recommendation for CPU + guest OS combo for compatibility and performance

I would buy a Supercomputing workstation application for Dell.

The machine must run under Windows XP, ubuntu, and windows 7 64-bit (no doubt) as a guest operating system and would have a few hardware raid.

I'm worried about compatibility, would display, networks, storage will work correctly and performance.

Any suggestions on what is the recommended CPU and operating system host to use.

More specifically,.

(a) is ESXi the right tool for this and if so what are the advantages and disadvantages.

(b) is it any perfromance (important of course) to be win upgrade to Xeon Quad-core i7.

Would appreaciate comments and suggestions.

Thank you

Sandeep

I do not think that you will only work a guest - even if you tell now

If possible, I would use a disk for the OS, one disk for the VMDK from comments and another for the hospitality of the host file.

For better performance make sure you presets virtual disks of the guests and to avoid clichés.

Snapshots are fine to test questionable stuff but they will lower the performance - so if you need snapshots to make occasional tests that get rid of them soon

  • What program CC do you recommend for viewing and organizing videos?

    Quick history: I have more a TB of family video clips.  Some are mine, some are old family movies transferred from the 1960s and others are video clips taken during the meetings and weddings of members of the family who chose to get something from them. I did the photography for years and use Lightroom & Photoshop.  Now with my CC account I've been teaching myself how to use first Pro, so I can start working on this family project.

    Question:  I'm looking for the equivalent of Lightroom for the video.  A program I can use to import my clips, rename, organize, see metadata, discovers, perhaps minor edition & trimming, rate/flag, and (perhaps more importantly) to allow a kind of keyword tagging.  Then open for more extensive editing in Premiere Pro.  It would be great if, like Lightroom, the finished project could then be exported in finished format I need.

    What I tried: I understand that Lightroom can import video, I tried with a sample of clips, but found LR limited to work with videos (which makes sense).  There are many programs CC that I do not know the function of.  I read a little on the prelude, but I can't find a recent tutorial on Lynda.com; I tried searching "Adobe Prelude", but that only turned up prelude CS6 workshops April 2012?  This makes me wonder if the program of the prelude is not very popular because tutorials of his updated version are not available or in high demand? (Research on Lynda.com for 'Adobe Prelude CC 2014' nothing found).

    So that's where I thought the Adobe community would be an excellent resource.  What are 'video people' out there to help?  And that I should stay away from?  thank you so anyone who can take the time to share their expertise and help me launch this project on the right foot.

    The question of change of naming conventions and/or native folder hierarchy has little to do with the solid state media and everything to do with the data container and header that connects audio/video broadcasts with metadata, allowing the content or the 'essence of media' decoded properly and play.  Is the reason to use a tool like prelude or first media browser or even bridge or Lightroom or a third-party tool like metafuze or shotputpro or software format camera record dedicated like sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools are designed to analyze A decision-making / changes correctly syntaxed data and make sure v metadata is integrated directly in the media or in the prelude and first case container can also be enrolled in a sidecar XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the metadata of original capture associated as well as changes or additions made through these tools.

    Hazards come into play when the file changes native naming convention or a folder hierarchy are are directly on the content of media via the finder on mac or explorer Windows, any change at this level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the essence of media, because changes are not written to the metadata or content of the headers or dealt with in a manner known as transmuxing...

    Media browser prelude & first time allow the search in the native files safe and destructive amending either the metadata related to the indigenous media or also allows a transcoding to do which will be then to copy or recreate a new media file in any format selected and a new metadata stream.

    Prelude is a nice utility and Media Browser of first a great tool to organize, edit and selectively ingesting media and or meetings and selects fast.

  • My USB ports don't work. I followed steps everythings is recommended for microsoft and nothing

    installation of USB, updated

    Hello

    ·        What are the steps that you took to resolve the problem?

    ·        Since when are you facing this problem?

    ·        Remember to make changes to the system?

    ·        What happens when you try to plug in external devices on the system? You get the error message?

    It could be that the USB drivers have not corrupted. I suggest you to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager and let windows when the system boots reinstall it. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    a. click on Start menu and type device manager in the search box of start and press ENTER.

    b. click on the USB (Controller Universal serial bus) to develop the list and remove the drivers that are installed on the system.

    c. close Device Manager, and then restart the computer.

    d. let windows install the drivers for the USB ports automatically.

    e. Once you have reinstalled the drivers, connect the camera and check if you're able to connect to the system or not.

  • Approach recommended for import and export. ?

    Hi Experts,

    I have 2 Master Repo, that one is for TEST (host DB: 192.168.0.23) and others DEV (DB host: 192.168.0.24), can I import the DEV to TEST WORKREP1.

    Is it a good process to go, or do we need to create a schema/user and create a WORKREP in TEST and import interfaces/packages from WORKREP1 of DEV. ???
    I googled but did not have exact import of the repo work instructions. .

    I use ODI 11.1.1.9.

    Please help me.

    Thank you

    Shakur.

    Hi Santosh,

    If you move it for the first time, you can directly import repositories. However, please first create a schema and then point on this repository. Make sure that the repository IDS are different from DEV.

    You can export master and repository in 2 different files as well to work and use them to import into TEST.

    Kind regards

  • I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for comparability and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser.

    Windows 7 64 bit
    I want desperately to upgrade Firefox to version 10 of version 9, but whenever I try, I'm stuck with FF10 control addons for compatibility and opening the homepage whenever I starts the browser. I keep having to go back to version 9 to solve this problem.

    Sorry to be a while back! It tried unsuccessfully so this AM, gritted my teeth and deleted the FF programs folder and downloaded and installed FF 10.01. He was still struggling with the same problem. Went in the appdata folder and two files sessionstore.js there. Delete both, restarted the browser and no verification of the compatibility of the modules was done at first upward and the additional tab for welcome to FF was the opening is no longer all seems to work as it should and I did not lose any of my settings... Thanks for trying to help, and I hope that my solution helps someone else who could this experience in the future. Hoping that the next update will smoother!

  • Recommendations for a beginner building a gaming pc?

    I'm looking to build my own gaming pc and have selected the following:

    Case: iBUYPOWER ARC 647 Gaming Chassis

    Card mother + processor: processor Intel Core i7-3770 (4 x 3.40 GHz), BYO Bundle

    RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws

    Hard drive: 500 GB 7200 RPM hard drive

    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 2 GB GDDR3 PCI Express 3.0 graphics card

    Hard drive: 24 X DVD +/-RW DL Optical Drive

    operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional, 64-Bit Edition

    First question: this combination of work?

    Second question: the recommendations/changes?

    Third and last question: do I need anything else? (I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers).

    Any help is appreciated

    Unless money is no object, and you want a profitable gaming PC, do not think that 'CPU' and a lot of RAM fantasy, think "video card" since it is the top priority for the games. Also think ahead and think of versatility of the platform because at some point (often with players), you'll want to change this or that.

    Think that bang for your buck!... and I don't see it in the choice of your combo and map.

    A mid range CPU price is a lot. Spend over $ $300 on an i7 CPU is a waste of money, one player, unless you have the high-end card to go with it. Get the best card you can afford and a high quality POWER supply (corsair is very good) remarks 650w as him more you'll need, unless for muti-screens and maps high power binoculars.

    Save money on the ram 1333 standard, you will not see any difference in ram fancy. Not more than 8GB will be lost and never used, regardless of the game or the PC software you can use. I never needed more than 8 GB (for the most part not more than 4/6 GB) and outside of the game, I use a lot of ram heavy Photoshop).

    Personally I would go an AMD platform any day for the game, because you'll save a bundle a decent multi-socket AM3 / AM2 + / AM2 board and CPU AMD Phenom x 4 around 2.8 to 3.4 GHz combo, or if you want to spend a little more, the new FX range CPU a combo of Council AM3 +.  You will be miles ahead $ wise, now and in the future.

    Try this for the price and performance of killer game next to a platform of intel similar price:

    CPU: AMD FX 6300 Black Edition
    Motherboard: Gigabyte a 970-DS3P (socket AM3 +)
    Card: ASUS Radeon R9 270 X
    RAM: 8 GB DDR3 1333 mhz (2x4gb)
    PSU: Corsair CS650M (try to get a box without power SUPPLY, because they usually poor quality PSUS in comparison).

    Combining perfectly and for its money!

    Of course any that in the intensive use of the PC multi-threading (video editing), and do not play, I'd go intel Sandy Bridge every time if I could afford it.

  • HP Flex10 and config recommended vDS for HA and failover?

    In the last two days I have experienced connectivity issues with my VM and I think I reduced it to beacon probing when is used as a failover mechanism in my groups of port / VLAN. I guess that the broader question "is what the settings recommended for failover based on my hardware configuration"...

    My ESXi hosts run 5.0.0U1 or 5.1.0 I just walking to vCenter 5.1.0a. Hosts are BL460c G7 servers in a c7000 with ICs Flex10 chassis. Each ESXi has a profile of server blade with 4 FlexNICs: a pair for the movement of data all VM (several Tagged VLAN) that belong to a vDS. The second pair is used for all traffic management and (at the moment I have reset) is on a stand-alone vSwitch with untagged traffic.

    Uplinks for each IC go with the Avaya VSP9000 switch. The two VSP9ks are connected by a STI trunk with all the VLAN tagged.

    Initially, I discovered the source of my traffic has dropped with the ARP table of a computer virtual pretend flip flop between the local binding of 10 GB on an Avaya and the link of the IST for the other Avaya (i.e. the uplink of the other IC module was used), which can cause a small temporary loop.

    No matter what method of load balancing I configure in the PG (stick to those supported by VC) and regarless if I have the two dvUplinks marked as Active or a marked as Active and the other as the day before, I see occasional about-face when beacon probing is used.

    I've set up virtual networks in Virtual Connect to use Smart Link, so I hope that Link Status should only be enough.

    Now while I still don't entirely understand beacon probe (I read about it on a few posts), I was hoping that it could provide a little more resilience despite having Smart Link set up on the side of VC.

    So for those of you who have the same hardware configuration, how you have configured your?

    Long term, I would like to bring to the management of virtual machines inside the vDS, mainly to have more flexibility in the management of bandwidth to have a slice of the 10 GB uplink established Virtual Connect level. I tried to put the management in the vDS but failed miserably and I think it's down to a scenario of chickens and eggs and I get the order to execute orders wrong... I'll look in that, once my configuration problem above fundamental network has been sorted.

    Thank you

    regarding overhead... NIOC is... good... but the general rule is that we release the core esx... so if we use more features... it will finally be an overhead projector... and if physical hardware does the same... thing... so it's better... This is why vmware has now VAAI... SRIOV... CPU/Memory unloading... If someone does not have the blades... and then if they have 10gig NIOC is only option...

    http://pibytes.WordPress.com/2013/01/12/multi-NIC-VMotion-speed-and-performance-in-vSphere-5-x/

    Management and vMotion are on the same VLAN (but different IP addresses) - it is recommended to use a VLAN from a safety perspective... and in production, this is how we do it. they can share the same NIC... no problem... but it should be labeled. 2 natachasery with 2gbe is good - I have recently done a comparative analysis of the speed of vmotion in the blade, you can see more info in my blog - http://pibytes.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/multi-nic-vmotion-speed-and-performance-in-vsphere-5-x/

    So a few questions:

    • I understand that you recommend keeping management / management of vMotion in a pair separated from flexNICs way to not give an additional charge within VMware.

    It is not mandatory... we have to use separate NICs... its all based on the customer's environment. But in separate VLANS... of couse VST marking consumes cycles CPU... we can ignore... the world... This is ignored. in case, you can use 2 natachasery with 2gbe to combine the mgmt/vmotion.

    • Y at - it an advantage of splitting management and vMotion in different VLAN but keep in the same uplink (so the VLAN tagging)

    security wise and best practices in production, we use separate VLANS, and we can share the same NIC...... There are some use cases as... that if you have 100 guests... and there may be several vmotions happening at the same time... in this case, we use dedicated pSwitch so that VMOtion traffic will not FLOOD the main switch. so here we use natachasery dedicated... in a small environment and a well balanced and if not on subscription of cluster CPU/RAM, then there is very little happening VMotion... If we can share the same natachasery and same pswitch.

    • Would we be better to use two different pairs of FlexNICs, one for management and one for vMotion using 3 pairs of FlexNICs in total (1 for all data VLAN, one not marked for management and a third no marked for vMotion). If so, I guess you'd give different bandwidths in VC to keep vMotion, nice and fast?

    According to my bench marking... what I did... If we give... 2GbE for vmotion, going too fast... and once again, as I said above... We can combine... or just give 2 natachasery with a bandwidth of 500 MB for mgmt and 2 gig for vmotion for VM traffic rest... * it is a good design... Here, we have isolated physically and VLAN wise as we need to isolate.

    for the low response fo the console... check the DNS resolution... and nothing to do with... the bandwidth. Check the CPU/RAM vcenter and the Vcenter CPU/RAM database...

    SAPPHIRE HD 5450 1 GB would work in a dell optiplex GX 620? Slim. also is it just plug and play?

    I doubt it is plug-and-play; to illustrate, a parent replaced a burnt on 6450 with a 8400GS and Windows installed default VGA driver and he left like that. The screen showed a large black border, and the resolution is suboptimal. Installing software appropriate to NVidia eliminated border and full resolution.

    I would say that the card will work, but you will need to install the driver (which isn't hard).

    I have a Sapphire 6570 installed in my GX620, with excellent results.
