• Clarification on the protection of the VMS with snapshots. SRM 5.1

  In SRM 5.1 documentation one of the limitations listed is:

  When the protection of the VMS with snapshots of the memory state, the ESXi hosts on protection and restoration sites must have compatible processors as defined in the articles of the VMware knowledge base CPU VMotion for Intel processors compatibility requirements and CPU VMotion for AMD compatibility requirements. Guests must also have the same characteristics of active BIOS. If the BIOS of the server configurations do not match, they show a compatibility error message, even if otherwise, they are identical. The two most common to check features are the No-Execute memory Protection (NX / XD) and virtualization technology (VT / AMD - V).

  
  

  
  

  You can work around this limitation by using the mode of the VCA on groups the and protected?
  

  VCA mode will mitigate this risk, but you must make sure that the two Clusters to the protégé and recovery Sites are at the SAME level CVS before take snapshots of the memory.

  At the end of the day, only a "planned actual Migration" will verify this.

  Good luck!

• Problem with the mouse and the network after the upgrade VMware Tools and hardware to virtual machine

  Hello world...

  I just upgrade my ESX 3.5 servers to vSphere 4.1. All this work is very well with the upgrade right now.

  After that, I tried to mise a niveau of VMware Tools and hardware of VM for my virtual machine and the problems started.

  I tried with two different VM (the two Windows 2003) and the problem appears for the two VM.

  I don't want to test another VM of the different operating system now, I'm afraid to go too far with update of Pentecost the problem I have now.

  I tried two VM to be sure that the problem is not only on a virtual machine.

  First of all, the mouse.

  My mouse has jerky movement. The button works, but sometimes I have to click several times to select what I want.

  I tried to uninstall the mouse in Device Manager and reinstall, but not really Pentecost improvement which (buttons works better, but... not so sure).

  Second problem.

  After you restart the server after VMmware tools and hardware virtual machine, the network link not working anymore.

  When I go to my network card configuration, IP settings are reset in DHCP mode.

  If I go again all my IP settings, Windows says:

  The IP address is hidden from the network and Dial-up connections

  folder because it is not physically in the computer or is a riser

  It does not work. If the same address is assigned to both adapters and

  they become active, only one of them will use this address. This may result

  in the incorrect system configuration. You want to enter a different IP address

  address of this adapter in the list of IP addresses for this card in the list

  Advanced IP address in the dialog box

  If I answer Yes to this, I have to enter a new IP address, and of course, this is not what I want to do.

  If I don't answer, the network working again.

  I think it is a strange message but the work of the vSphere maybe network now.

  Anyone have any idea why my work network and mouse as this upgrade after.

  All other VM that is not upgraded so far works great.

  Thanks in advance...

  (1) make sure that your hardware acceleration is safe enough. I got the upgrade down my hardware acceleration several times already.

  (2) sounds like the new drivers for your NIC cards took over and VMware is basically a new card NETWORK for you. Follow these steps to disable it:

  (a) open a command prompt

  (b) type (without quotes): 'set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1' and press ENTER.

  (c) type (without the quotes): "start devmgmt.msc"

• Failed to initialize the library for the assembling and disassembling workstation virtual disks 9

  I am using VMware Workstation 9.0.4 build-1945795 and have a problem with "map of the virtual disks. I tried map a virtual drive on windows server 2008 r2, windows server 2008, windows 7, windows xp, windows 2000, windows 98, and BACK 6.22. I have went to the file - card virtual disks and get 'Could not initialize the library for the Assembly and disassembly of the virtual disks', every time I have try to map any operating system for the virtual machine. Some have snapshot while others do not is a mixture of 64-bit and 32-bit virtual machines. My system is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. What I'm missing here because if a feature is available in the menu you seem to expect it to work actually on something.

  OK the fix for me was that I had to uninstall VMware workstation and now it seems to work very well on all the OS preceding reinstall it.

• need to know the size of the delta.vmdk a snapshot of a virtual disk 2 TB

  Can anyone help please?

  I need to know the size of a snapshot for a virtual 2 TB drive.

  Unfortunately I can't create one myself as ESX does not create a disc of 2 TB provisioned end if the data store has only 600 GB of free space.

  If you have enough free space on your storage space can you please do me a favor?

  Create a new virtual machine with a 2 TB drive thin provisioned - when the virtual machine has been created please use snapshotmanager and create a snapshot.

  When done it please download the snapshot and zip and attach it here.

  Thank you very much

• What is the best for data... several virtual disks or a large virtual drive?

  For a VM Windows 2003 on ESX 3.5, which is technically better present? Is there more risk with one or the other or reliability?

  All LUNS are presented from a raid5 san.

  C: drive is its own virtual drive, as well as Swap space it's own drive.

  For the data (or applications), is it better to have 6 100 GB virtual disks, or a big virtual disk of 600GO?

  This is for a file server. Technically, I like to make a great record, create shared folders on this drive and space through quota management, but is was not sure if how Windows & VMWare manipulate virtual disks would be better. I need this server to be as reliable as possible as he is currently serving about 600 people.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I would say it depends where the VMDK is stored, if they are on several data stores then you could see benefits, but if they are all in the same database and then a grand is the best.

• Script to find all the VMS with dates/no tools installed.

  Hey,.

  I need help guys.  I need a script that finds all VMS in vCenter which do not have the tools installed or tools or outdated.  I also need the script to generate the following data in a CSV file.  Name of the virtual machine and the State of the tools (not installed or outdated).

  Thank you guys.

  Good suggestion. 'Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine' is much faster than ' Get - VM | Get-View»

  You inspired me to go at maximum speed. So I moved all the filtering also to the cmdlet Get-View. The following script is used in my environment about 30% faster than what you suggested. My first script took me 1 minute 50 seconds. Your script 1,624 seconds. And the following script 1,110 seconds in an environment with about 500 virtual machines...

  Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Property Name,Guest.ToolsStatus -Filter @{
    "Config.Template"="False";"Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled|toolsNotRunning|toolsOld"} | `
  Select-Object @{N="Name";E={$_.Name}},@{Name="ToolsStatus";E={$_.Guest.ToolsStatus}} | `
  Export-CSV -Path VmToolsStatus.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  "Config.Template"="False" filter models so that you get only the virtual machines.

  "Guest.ToolsStatus"="toolsNotInstalled | toolsNotRunning | toolsOld" returns invited with ToolsStatus toolsNotInstalled or toolsNotRunning or toolsOld.

  Thanks to Eric Wannemacher to show me how to use regular expressions in a Get - view filter in his blogpost: VMware PowerCLI and Get-View filters.

• Analyze the index on the machine of Dataguard and redundancy of ASM disks

  Dear friends,

  I have two questions regarding disc Dataguard and ASM.

  (> > 1) for best performance, periodically, we rebuild the index index and analysis analyze table. What is the best periodic steps to do to get better performance?

  I mean, first of all is rebuilding of index, is second index analysis and so on......

  (> > 2) if I run analyze the index or the table on my PRODUCTION system he replicated this effect on statndby dataguard automatic system? If so, how it is replicated?

  (> > 3) my last question related with high redundancy of the ASM disk. I have some confusion on this area.

  Let's say I have 10 disks in a diskgroup '+ DATA' and I did 'HIGH' level redundancy, means 3 way redundancy. Here I know 3-way the redundancy, it writes data on 3 discs at a time. But what of the other 7 discs. In fact, I need to know the mechanism of writing?

  -Each disc is identical to the other drive?

  -For HIGH redundancy, how many disk failure can be tolerated for any loss of data?

  Waiting for your kind reply......

  "on my PRODUCTION'---> you mean"on my FIRST.

  Yes, the data dictionary is updated when you run dbms_stats.gather% and updates data dictionary are through recovery that applies to the WAITING for more.

  NOLOGGING surgery would not be applied to the expectation (the index would be marked corrupted to the standby) unless you have set on FORCELOGGING.

• What is the difference between cloning and Coverting a Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I'm starting to learn more about vmware. My organization is already a VMware/Vsphere infrastructure, I am trying to familiarize myself with various aspects of VMware, so I wanted to know what is the difference between a virtual machine cloning and to convert a virtual machine using Vconverter?

  They both end up giving double a VM, or is there a difference between the two?

  Thanks in advance.

  Cloning can be done with the virtual machine or not.  P2V requires the source runs and you must install the converter.

• Could not find the device with uuid - ESXi 4 and 5 - Dell 2950

  Hello

  I am installing ESXi4 or 5 on a Dell 2950.  I'm not an expert material guy, but I think the controller is a Perc 5 controller hardware / i.  It is a processor of Intel Xeon dual core CPU 2.

  The link of compatibility:

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  I see only the processors Xeon 5xxx and above seem to be supported, and I honestly don't know if mine it fits or not but when I had installed CentOS and made ' less/proc/cpuinfo', no model number came, just that it was a Xeon processor.

  When I install ESXi on this server (I turned on hardware virtualization in the BIOS), the installation looks ok, but when the computer restarts, it always seems to try to load my old server CentOS so it's as if the installation has not completely replace the drive. Raid Controller had 2 virtual disks so maybe I didn't replace what was a disc of "boot"?  I will try that next.

  Guess I'm looking for confirmation that the CPU is ok and I'm missing nothing else.

  Thank you

  Charles

  1 in the raid bios remove the raid and create a new one, and then reinstall esxi.

  2 when you install also use iso Dell:

  do both and you should have a running system.

• Do not understand the problem with My SQL...

  Greetings! Having a bit of a weird problem here...

  We update a Web site that uses forms and a database, and we did this once a year for the last 3 years. The man who worked on this subject before me created the elaborate together thing and then it died while he has put us in an awkward position... In any case... We have this form of quotation, and when the people, fill it out and click on submit, the information is sent to us and we fill then his quote based on the information the customer provides and then send us the quotation to the email they provided in the form. All this is done to a "base". OK so now when I fill out the quote form myself as a test and clicking on send, it says this...

  I changed the names a little bit, so I don't understand our account...

  Now, it is important to point out that it recently had to change the user name ftp and password with GoDaddy to make changes to this website via Dreamweaver this year. Don't ask me why, they just made to us, and once we reconnect to the site with the new user name and password, this problem started occurring.

  So, what do you think?

  Thank you very much.

  Seems to me that there is a problem with your connection to the MySql database.  If the former web developer used old fashioned MySql connections and your server has been recently upgraded to PHP 5.5, which could explain the gap because the MySql connections are no longer supported in PHP 5.5 +.  To confirm this yourself, create a new page test.php with the following code and download on your remote server.  Then view the results in your browser

• SRM with virtual disks not replicated RDM Recovery Plan.

  We try to do a test of SRM with a Virtual Machine that has disks Virutal RDM attached, however these volumes are not replicated with RecoverPoint, they exist already on the side of DR, so basically we're already reproducing machine virtual and it's virtual disks, but these 3 RDM are outside it.  The reason for this is because they have massive volumes that had previously been replicated using another product before virtualize us and there is no need to replicate this info again because the volumes are never going to change.

  
  Then...

  It is done within the SRM, when you look at tab groups protection, we see a warning "not configured VMs: 1" because SRM / RecoverPoint believe that this virtual machine has volumes that are not replicated.

  Is there any way to exclude this or saying SRM to ignore what we will manually add the RDM on the DR side ourselves?  Also on the side of DR, I don't see the VM under hosts and Clusters as I see the replication of other virtual machines, it is because MRS. think he isn't entirely reproduced?  Or is it a manual step where you need to create a virtual machine on the side of the DR and to disable this option in order to see it?  Also, we see what VM listed on the virtual computers tab for this group of special protection, but the other two VMs residing on the sam MON appear and I already tested successfully the two machines.

  Here are the settings in the file for the RDM .vmx

  scsi0:4.filename = "server_3.vmdk".
  scsi0:4.mode = "persistent".
  scsi0:4.ctkEnabled = "FALSE".

  Hello

  You do not see the DR VM (usually it's called shadow or the space reserved VM), because currently the VM is not protected by SRM. You can't manually create.

  What you can do is run the Wizard "To configure Protection" for your virtual machine. One of the steps, "storage options" or something like this, allows you to select specific disks and mark as detached, allowing you to protect the computer with disks not replicated virtual.

• How to configure and use the local storage dirve and usb

  My company bought a server DMM cisco as well as 10 players of 4310 g dmp.  I tried to work on mine here to get it all working.  Let me expose what we would do first before to get into the details.

  The cental DMM will it play any content and be used to create and manage the content here at company wehre I am.  However my boss wants to send dmp individual players (4310 g) out to our factories across the country.  He wants me to be able to creat content or allow a person managing the exact address to edit the content and then push the content from the server DMM to corporate local DPM record either on local storage or attached thumb order.  I guess my questions on what are the following.

  (1) is it necessary to push the content locally for playback?  Willingness to play the content of our dmm on the wan to do lots of traffic?  Presentations could be as simple as a welcome page based presentation playing images video and flash.

  (2) based on local content would be a wise decision I'll have to see exactly how this is done poorly.  In the settings of the dmp, I see the setting of local storage and turned it on and set to read/write.  In regard to the command of thumb gose exactly how I implement that so that DPM can see?  I plug to the back of the drive, and it seems that it is active but the management console of the player I don't see anyway to actaully see if she knows the USB.

  (3) how will push the content for local storage and control of the DMM thumb?  It looks like I can send things to the storage internal if package transfer and or advanced/DPM deployment tasks or server file.  What exactly is the difference between these two?

  (4) Lastly how I actually play the local content of the dmp?  Can I set this up on a schedule of the dmm just like I would if he played the local dmm?

  I searched through the documentation, but I have not found any good docs who are clear to actually how to do these things.  So, any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Glen,

  Here are the answers to your questions

  1) is it nessesary to push the content locally for playback?  Will  playing content from our dmm over the wan be to much traffic?   Presentations could be as simple as a basic welcome page to a  presentation playing video and flash images.

  It is not required to push the content locally, you can also play the DMM directly. The main advantage of playing on the spot, is that you can transfer the videos several hours or days before the presentation begins to be played if you deploy content off hours and then, when he's ready to start playing the new presentation.

  If you play directly the content of the DMM, the content will be transferred at the time of the DMP starts playback. This may fail if the WAN link is saturated at that time here.

  2) If pushing the content local would be a wise decision I am having  difficulty seeing exactly how this is done.  In the dmp settings I see  the local storage setting and have it turned on and set to read/write.   As far as the thumb drive gose how exactly to I set that up so the dmp  can see it?  I plug it in the back of the player and it looks like it's  active but from the management console of the player I do not see any  way to actaully see if it knows about the usb thumb drive.

  You don't need to do anything to enable USB storage, simply plug it in. To confirm that the DMP is able to see it properly, the simplest way is to connect to the DPM via FTP and confirm that he has a «usb_2» directory This "usb_2" directory, where is the USB drive is mapped.

  3) how will I push the content to the local storage and the thumb drive  from the DMM?  It looks like I can send things to the internal storage  though the advanced tasks/deployment package and or file transfer to DMP  or server.  What exactly is the differnce between these two?

  The task of "File transfer" will just do this, transfer a file to the DMP. The deployment package is smarter and will transfer all the contents of a presentation and organize them in a structure that can be used to read the content locally. You should always use the deployment package.

  4) finally how will I actually play the content from the local dmp?  Can  I set this up on a schedual from the dmm just like I would if it was  playing from the local dmm?

  Yes, she may be scheduled as any other presentation.

  I suggest you have a look at the link below. He explains the steps required to configure the deployment package and read the content deployed with it.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/DMM/user/guide/DMP/CDs.html#wp2188026

  I hope everything is clear now, but if you have any questions, let me know. I'll try to answer.
