• Can I use an antivirus on each of my hosts and guests at the same time when running a virtual environment on my PC?

  I have Windows 7 running on my main computer at present and that you have a virtual environment installed as an operating system on this computer very.

  I would like to know if I am able to run an internet security on my pc (Windows 7) host program and other internet security on my guest in my virtual environment operating system (pc windows 8)... at the same time.

  I ask this question because... I installed my OS of windows 8 in a virtual environment running inside my Windows 7 OS in order to familiarize yourself with the features of windows 8 and to test the compliance of windows 8 with various hardware components I use... to satisfy my curiosity before I migrate eventually completely to windows 8.

  Part of my tests would involve various software including Internet security applications.

  So the question is... I was able to save my virtual environment with an Internet security program, while having an Internet security program running in the host computer?

  PS my environments hosts and guests are not put networked with the exception of the common external drives and dvd burners. The plan being that the Internet security on my host computer program will have my analysis excluded virtual environment.

  Yes

  The systems are completely separated from each other, will not affect the different AntiVirus on another product.

  If you decide to test another Internet security program don't forget to completely remove the old version on the virtual machine

• Windows 7 Home Premium with invalid Code of Activation in the virtual environment

  I have a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium, I could get the Product Code of Magic Jelly Bean KeyFinder.  I created a Virtualbox Win7 environment to test the code for what should I have to rebuild my computer I have everything properly.  Although I enter the code correctly when I try to activate it says that is not valid.  Is it because I'm under a system with it already running with the same product code that it does not work properly? Or something else?

  If your intention is to rebuild the desktop, why would need to test the activation code to see if it works, when it is currently working on the host itself? I can understand the Windows 7 Home Premium assessment in the virtual environment, but the idea of the code itself, no.

  If its already active in the host, then that means it works.

  If Home Premium from Windows 7 is pre-installed on the host itself, the code that you use cannot be used to activate Windows 7 elsewhere.

  New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  If it is a retail license and you need to reactivate Windows 7 Home Premium if you reinstall from scratch, you can still use phone activation:

• ID in a virtualized environment

  Can someone develop an IDS solution for a virtualized environment?

  I have ESX/ESXi - highly virtualized blade servers.  IM using the blade passes under chassis e/s - no pass-through.

  The requirement is to run a service IDS such as VM-on-VM traffic is controlled. The traffic flow can be between two virtual machines on the same blade, 2 virtual machines on two separate blades in the same chassis, or two separate virtual machines on two hunts...

  In this case, I see 3 streams of traffic off of the bat...

  blade even: vm-on-vm traffic is enabled by a hypervisor type switch (vDS 1000v or vmware).

  different blades in the same chassis: vm-on-vm traffic will leave blade and can be set by hardware chassis (blade chassis I/O) switch.

  different chassis: vm-on-vm traffic will have to go to ToR (maybe same end of line).

  NOTE: If the VMs are on different VLANS, traffic will always be at the end-of-line/agg switches (the limit of L3/L2).

  So, given all of these possible flows, what is the best way to go about deploying IDS service? Implementation? Virtual or physical? etc...

  Thank you!

  You're right, dragging the flow of vm virtual machine out of the box for the inspection of the IPS and stuffing then reconnect will be a bottleneck of bandwidth. I doubt that it would cost you more CPU to move these pieces sttings to launch an IPS sensor inside the box (ala Sourcefire).

  To minimize the bandwidth bottleneck, you can add Ethernet interfaces to your ESXi server and even to group several togther if you need more bandwidth, a single pair can offer.

• Foglight migration to virtual environment.

  Hello

  We have installed the 5.6.4 Foglight Management Server in a physical server. Due to certain constraints and requirements, we migrate the Foglight to a virtual server.

  Can you please help us in the steps to migrate and also to share articles or links that will be useful for us in the migration process?

  Kind regards

  Guenoun.

  Migrating to a new server FMS is relatively easy.

  Essentially, you to the bottom of the FMS, copy the foglight on the new server installation directory, we hope in the same folder hierarchy and start it again.

  (According to the version of the OS, you will need to install a new service, or change the security or add an entry in init.d, etc.).

  You will also need to redirect your based FGLAM agents for the new IP/DNS to the new server, unless you move the DNS entry at the same time.

  Anything that you can do to make the new structure similar to the old server server will be useful, but Foglight is not that picky.

  It would NOT be a good idea to try to change other things at the same time as the move.  Keep the database of the same, etc. until the move is done and tested.

  In addition, be aware of best practices for a FMS (or any Java application) running on a virtual machine.

  These are extremely important if you want to get any kind of decent performance of Foglight running on a virtual machine.

  Finally, remember that your VM will have probably important resources, depending on the size of your environment is.

  You may want to run this by the support, to ensure that you have not sousdimensionnés your VM.

• Supported high availability in a virtualized environment

  Hi guys,.

  is it supported software such as Veritas Cluster Server cluster in a real operating system in order to have the high Avalibility for my message store?

  According to the release of the latest Suite of Communication of information, it would be possible, any ideas?

  https://wikis.Oracle.com/display/CommSuite/common+release+information+for+Communications+Suite+7.0.6#CommonReleaseInformationforCommunicationsSuite7.0.6-SystemVirtualizationSupport

  Thank you

  Caius

  As indicated by the release notes as you pointed out, UCS does not specifically support or does not support any given platform virtualizataion - the virtual machine solution must be completely transparent to the application. If the OS and HA solution is supported by the UCS and HA solution running support in this virtual environment, then it is supported.

• Update Manager upgrade of the ESXi host that he is running in a virtual machine does

  That is the question.  Here is some information.  We were a completely virtualized environment for several years.  2 guests ESXi collocated 5.5 to different data centers connected of course by a VPN site-to site.  The VPN itself is provided by VMs and vCenter runs in a VM to one of the sites as Update Manager is to proceed with installing it. If the vCenter and/or VPN VMs are down, we have a very cool backup method to gain access to and manage ESXi and its console.   Some of you who read the rest of the present will be tempted to suggest to architecting our environment differently, but we are very pleased with the way it is thank you very much :-)  Appreciate all the answers but really just responded to this specific question.

  The reason why we want to Update Manager is really just to be able to upgrade easily ESXi in the future without enter in the console and the execution of orders, etc.  I realize the documentation and blogs on this topic that ESXi may need to go into maintenance mode and stop the virtual machines running on it (not a cluster if no migration) how ESXi is lose connection to the Update Manager (if the remote host) or a stop Update Manager (if the local host).  So the question is, is that the process of updating managed by Update Manager an atomic operation at that crucial moment or a sequence of operations depend on continuous connectivity and control of Update Manager.  Ddoes ESXi, then perform the upgrade and restart regardless - that would be great - or he'll just stand there in maintenance mode to learn more about disconnected now / stop Manager update pending.

  Your answers are greatly appreciated.

  Please, tell me if I understand you:

  Ask yourself if you can upgrade the host running Update Manager VM? And you cannot migrate the virtual to another host machine because there is no cluster in place and no shared storage?

  If your answer is YES to both questions, I can tell you that you cannot use Update Manager, since you must put your host in Maintenance Mode and therefore you will need to stop all virtual machines running, including the VM Manager Update.

• Database SQL vCenter that is running on the virtual machine within vsphere

  Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you are running your database remote vcenter on a virtual machine inside your vsphere environment? We always ran the vcenter db on a physical remote outside the vsphere group box, but I am considering the upgrade to sql 2008 R2 and I already have a virtual sql server computer running within vsphere.

  Pro/drawbacks to be aware of the db running on a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance

  Kevin

  We rotated our SQL database in a VM for a while now.

  Some advantages are for example the wide use of HA and the ability to easily extend if necessary resources. In addition, if you use backup as Veeam software a restore takes only a few minutes from a physical configuration.

  There are a few things when you have to keep in mind:

  -Make sure that your SQL VM database begins before your vCenter (the service does not start if it cannot reach the database), even if it can be fixed manually it might be something you want to keep in mind

  -If you use the distributed switches power risk since data is stored in the database, of course there are solutions for this (keep the traffic on a standard switch management)

  -If you use HA make sure you modify the priority of restarting HA for the virtual machine (you don't want a reboot suddenly)

• Keyboard does not not in virtual environment

  Hello

  I just bought and installed VMWare Fusion on a Mac Pro running Lion.  I set up a virtual environment with Snow Leopard Server, but my keyboard does not respond within the virtual environment.  It would be like if I didn't have the keyboard hooked up to my computer, if it happened on the actual computer.  He initially worked in the virtual environment after my first installation of the OS, as I was able to type in the various Info configuration, such as user name and password, but it doesn't now.  I searched through this forum and cannot find any solution.  I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction.

  I notice that when I raise System Profiler, no keyboard is listed under USB devices, so I don't know if that is related to the problem or not.

  Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Strange, indeed: I installed the VMware Tools as the second time, and it worked.

  You can try again and activate the automatic connection this time...

• is it a good idea to run the JAVA virtual machine inside the hypervisor?

  If I want to write a global user inside the hypervisor platform and you want to reuse some java lib, it's a good idea to install and run the JAVA virtual machine as part of global programs of the user inside the hypervisor? Thank you.

  Maybe you listen to the wrong people?

  The ESXi hypervisor is pretty well stripped of the linux console you are talking about, there is a thin busybox linux like environment, but you are strongly advised not to run anything in there.

  Performer of applications within this console may have all kinds of side effects such as severely affect the performance of your computer virtual guests.

  Why the hell would you want to run the JAVA virtual machine inside the hypervisor? What is the reason why you want to do this? If it's because you get a better return, then you're wrong, the console becomes just a little bit of resources available on your host computer.

  If this is to go directly to the features that the hypervisor provides then the VMA we're talking is the answer.

  So getting back to your question initial for EACH use case that I can think it's a very bad idea.

• VCenter are running in a virtual machine: now, it is a good idea?

  This article:

  http://searchvirtualdatacentre.TechTarget.co.UK/news/column/0, 294698, sid203_gci1512874, 00.html?

  says it is recommended.  He will then raise a problem with the Update Manager.  I do not use the Update Manager, so I'm interested to know if anyone can confirm and tell me what document of VMware's vCenter recommended to run on the virtual machine as a 'best practice '.

  I'm more ready to go this way than before, but I'm always cautious when I consider the complexity of chess.

  If host ESX running vCenter server completely failed, then, Yes, vCenter will re-start on another host.

  But there are opportunities far more problems than that.  What happens if the data store becomes unavailable?  What happens if the ESX host is suspended from a problem that connects the CPU?

  Be extremely careful, I can not far because virutalizing vCenter means basically that it have more complexity in the layers beneath him and therefore more opportunities for the failure of the recovery are introduced.

  I know vCenter running on material means that layer may still fail, but we're watching all of our physical servers that run our ESX host.

  Put a hypervisor on them prevents us from having to deal with the problems of disk/network/fiber channel / local memory.

  the search for VMware, I found a doc who wrote in 2009, don't know if it's always the last Gospel.  I will raise a support call to ask VMware, but I wanted to first see if you can give me a link to the answer.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-11197

  Interesting that this doc on the VMware site binds effectively to that on the techtarget site.  That's fine, but I want VMware reference that mentions the techtarget article.

  Congratulations in advance for your time and your help.

  Points of generous and enthusiastic congratulations to all those who could be the key here.

  see you soon,

  Kevin

  The design of vSphere course has this as the best exercise of the profession - the reasons have already been identified. From VMware, it's a virtual vCenter server has high levels of resilience and redundancy, you can not necessarily with a physical server or having to pay a significant premium to achieve, that is to say MS clustering.

  It also gives you the possibility of increasing resources - CPU and ram discs if you need to. With the help of a physical server you reaches the limits of physical capacity.

  If it works as aVM you use common sense - if you have one or two hosts then risks may outway the benefits, that is a failure of a single host leaves Infrastructure depend on the remaining host. If you have 10 hosts and a resilient storage solution then why not.

  There is quite a response to the host to vcenter environment - person has never shot to run on a physical server and can say the same for virtual.

• OPA on virtualized environment

  Hello
  
  It is used to recommend that the duration of the OPA has been run on a physical server, but there is a growing demand to run on a virtualized domain. The operation of the OPA on a virtualized environment affect the model of supported somehow; i.e. the Oracle will support the OPA on a virtual server rather than physical?
  
  Thank you

  You are welcome Roger,.

  For Oracle VM - we fully support this end to end, if you are using a supported operating system.
  For VMWare - we support fully, as long as you are (a) using a supported operating system, and (b) it can be demonstrated that the problem occurs when you do NOT run on VMWare

• Microsoft Cluster in a virtual environment

  Is it possible to run a Windows 2008 Failover Cluster in a virtual environment using ESX 3.5?

  Kind regards

  Daniel9999

  The Windows 2008 Clusters are only supported with vSphere.

  But if you have an iSCSI storage, you can use a solution 'unsupported' (but functional) using iSCSI initiator inside Windows 2008 SMV to point to a few LUNS shared.
