  I just finished a new construction, including Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  Update all the drivers went through, and now I get BSOD.  Initially, I'd get them, after that the system wake up to 'sleep' mode, but this morning I received after you start the computer from the closure.  They are the mistakes STOP F4, and I'm sure that there is a way to fix them, I just need help on where to start.  After a few reboots to check the version of the BIOS and what not, the computer would no longer connect to the internet.
  Here is my configuration:
  CPU: Intel Core i3-3225 3.3 GHz Dual - Core Processor
  Motherboard: ASRock H77M Micro ATX LGA1155 motherboard
  Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3-1600 memory
  Storage: Intel 330 series 240GB 2.5 "Solid State Disk

  Power supply: Rosewill Capstone 450W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V power supply
  Optical drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD burner
  Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
  Other: 2 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB 3.5 "7200 RPM hard drive internal

  And here are two mistakes STOP I was able to capture up to now:

  This was my first computer build and I really enjoyed until the software part; simply too many current intangibles.  A lot to learn and I'm happy to do, but my wife would like a stable computer.

• Recommendation of RAID for Equallogic iSCSI SAN?

  We look at a Dell/Equallogic PS6000E with 16 drives of 1 TB, it connects to our servers ESX 2-3 (about 15 virtual machines running) and to a SQL cluster (mainly a SharePoint service workload size).  Dell recommends RAID5, which would give us ~ 12 useful to.  Frankly, if we had used 8TB, that would be fine.  Any recommendations for the best RAID for Equallogics level?

  Thank you

  Chad

  If you can really just 8 to, I must say raid 10...   Reference Dell suggests always raid 5 no matter what.

  Now best practices is to create several groups of disks with different raid levels for the taste of storage at your fingertips.

  You are going to have to make some calls to judgment on how to implement.     I suggest you test conversions PtoV tour and play with the config some before deciding, but I know that it is now possible in most cases.

  Dell has an excellent white paper on the table.  It's for the MD3000i, but the raid types and most other info still apply to the DAS or san during raids.

• Best RAID for ESX 3.5 Configuration

  Hi all.

  I was wondering, what is the best configuration of RAID for ESX 3.5 performance?

  I have a HP DL360 G5 Proliant with several SAS drives.

  It will be better to make a RAID 5 o RAID1?

  Thank you!

  There is no best RAID for ESX. Depends on VM disk usage profile - so if you plan to install SQL server and then create RAID appropriate for SQL server.

• no pilot of the aircraft were found when trying to install windows 7 on a new construction

  It is a new construction: card mother Asus M4A87TD/USB3, Phenom X 4 965 processor he's, with 1 64 GB Soild State drive which is where Windows 7 Pro must be installed, Raid 2 500 GB SATA hard drives that I use, total 8 GB memory Dual Channel DDR-1600 and an ATI Radeon HD5830 1024 GDDR5 video card.

  I am now trying to install windows and I get an error message saying that no device drivers found when you try to install windows 7 pro, so I tried to put in the disc that came with the motherboard because that's what I found during my research on this subject and it won't read the disc. I also learned that I should use a USB however, I don't have a large enough to copy documents from the disk device drivers.

  Any input would be appreciated because I was a machine now for a week only to find what I wanted and then in construction and now this problem - please help

  Suggest you only begin by installing a configuration non-RAID first. Also since this is a new construction, you need to do some test equipment to verify that you don't have a hardware problem. Connect a SATA drive to a standard SATA connector rather than the RAID connector.

  Set of utilities to test for computer HARDWARE manufacturers:

  Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking BIOS features, Intel EIST or Turbo Mode (turn off).
  then back at the speed of stock as a starting point.

  Disconnect the other internal hard drives and external USB devices.

  First try running Memtest86 +:  It runs from a floppy disk or CD, you must remove or
  confirm whether your one or more of your sticks of memory are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• create new account ESX

  I understand that it is recommended to use a user account on my ESX box vs acct root when possible.   How to create a user account on my ESX box.  I know how to do it on my VirtualCenter server, but I understand that it's different for the host ESX Server

  Hi pearlyshells:

  To create accounts on ESX hosts, point your VIC to the ESX host directly.  I did so the hosts are in a cluster for DRS/HA configuration, I just don't make any other change except user accounts.

  After you have connected to the host, click the host itself and one of the tabs on the right is 'Users and groups' - you can create new users on host it.

  My PC running the 32-bit version or 64-bit Windows?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  Windows 7 64 bit comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. Windows 7 32 bit can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 7 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64 bit Windows 7.

  Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 7 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller. Also, if you decide to switch to Windows 7 64 bit in the future, there is no way to upgrade from 32-bit Windows, clean install only.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  If you do not have your Windows Vista installation media, you can download a fresh copy:

  Windows Vista (in English) with Service Pack 1

  Windows Vista (x 86)		Windows Vista (x 64)
  X 14 - 63452.exe	X 14 - 63453.exe
  Boot.wim	Boot.wim
  install.wim	install.wim

  Installation instructions (creation of bootable DVD/USB)

  You must download the .exe, the boot.wim and install.wim file in the same place. Run the .exe file and it will extract all the files in a folder called Vista. Start Windows install will be now (cancel Setup).

  

  To create a .iso bootable extracted the files in the folder of Vista and download Imgburn. Run imgburn and select 'Create Image file from files/folders'

  

  Select the record button browse and select the folder of Vista. Then select Advanced.

  

  Left will be your folder of Vista, to the right, make sure that you have verified make Bootable Image, changed the developer ID: Microsoft Corporation, load segment: 07C 0 and loading areas: 4.

  

  Select the folder browse button then navigate to your folder of Vista, then select the startup folder and select the file called etfsboot.

• Adding new host ESX in VCD 1.0

  Hi all

  I wanted to know the procedure to add the new host Esx VCD and how to increase resources for the installation of the existing cloud.

  Thanks in advance
  Ashok

  Add the host to the Cluster support required in vCenter provider vDC, ensure that networks and required data warehouses configured on this host, and finally as a system administrator in vCD under surveillance & -> resources vSphere management-> Hosts, prepare the new host ESX (i).

• Update of the modules for security issues ESX service console

  Today, I was asked a question on the vervsion of OpenSSH used on the service console for our environment vSphere 4.0. Apparently, there is a vulnerability in OpenSSH 5.6/7 with a certificate which has been corrected in version 5.8. My response to the security team has been we are the 4.3.p2 and as a result, this issue does not concern us. So the following questions then becomes why you are not in the latest version?

  I'm curious to know if someone has already discussed with VMware on these types of security issues where the components used by RHEL, like OpenSSH, are vulnerable. What was their response to attempts to update this kind of things? I guess some of the answers would not be supported, you'll break, if you patch it's no guarantee your fix will not get downgraded, etc..

  I'm looking for is a solid answer that explains why we do not have that kind of stuff to ESX, only when VMware provides the fix. I could contact the support, but I thought her first check and see what others have met.

  Thank you

  Hello.

  I think that all the reasons you mentioned (not supported, you're going to break, if you patch it's no guarantee your fix will not get downgraded, etc.) are pretty much true.  The ESX 4.1 Patch Management Guide stated in the FAQ section:

  When a rpm on my ESX host has an equivalent Linux, can I use the Linux RPM to upgrade my system?
  N ° VMware recommends that you update your host ESX 4.1 with RPM provided by VMware.

  An answer I could use would be to take a step back to look at the bigger picture.  Is a SSH, which should be secluded/protected to some extent in a first time, have a vulnerability more risky than having an ESX host unstable/not supported with X number of VMS running on it.

  Good luck!

• Best tolerance\failover of fault for two identical ESX 3.5 hosts

  Hi, I'm wondering what the best way to configure ESX3.5 on two physical hosts making it fault tolerant\mirrored or for the best technique for tipping...

  VM slices are on a data store on another server. I hope that this question is not too vague? Thank you

  If vSphere isn't an option, then (by definition of VMware) fault tolerance is not possible. With ESX 3.5, the only option of failover is HA (make sure that you have the VMware license which includes HA), which requires vcenter Server as well.

  Yes, DRS and HA can be activated at the same time.

  According to what the VMs system will do, I would recommend having at least 4 cards with 2 NICs by vSwitch network. In vSwitch0 I place the Service Console and VMotion VMkernel (VMkernel is required to connect to your NFS data warehouses) - all require unique IP addresses. In vSwitch1, I would create all groups of port VM (i.e. virtual local networks). According to future plans, performance requirements and others, I would personally use 6 cards per server, 2 by vSwitch and Service Console and VMotion in vSwitch0, VMkernel vSwitch1 and port VM groups in vSwitch2.

  If the plan is for 2 guests ESX 4 NETWORK ports in the NFS box should be fine.

• Why my original Apple Watch do not update 3.0? My information shows my software is up to date with 2.2 and 3.0 is now available. Is this only for new watches?

  My Apple Watch shows that I'm up-to-date 2.2.2. Today 3.0 is available. Is this only for new watches?

  No - watch OS 3 is available for all models of Apple Watch.

  Be patient in waiting for the watch OS update 3 to become available, but start by updating your iPhone on iOS 10:
