Running several instances of Win7

Hello, this is my first post in this forum.

I tried to do some research to make sure that I'm not something that has already been answered, but that have not yet found.

I would use vSphere Hypervisor (free product) on a single server and run several instances/images of Win7, so that I could use it in the classroom. My hope is that by doing this I need only to maintain an image and keep up-to-date.

My plan is to create an image, and then allow clients to connect to the server via RDP and start a Win7 desktop computer using this image. I also need to have Office 2010 installed on this desktop is going to be where my teaching is centered.

My questions are:

  1. This product will make?
  2. How to create the image of Win7?
  3. How licensing issues are handled so that I can legitimately run up to 5 copies of this Win7 desktop computer?
  4. Any other suggestions or thoughts that I have to consider?

Thanks in advance.

Russ Kauk

If you are willing to accept a slight modification, it can do.

(1) creating an image or

(2) you create clones of n of this image and start them

(3) users connect via IP/hostname to each individual workstation.

If you need to automatically configured virtual machines and management, then you have to accelerate the non-free hypervisor, vCenter and VMware View.

Regarding the issuance of permits - you will need licenses for Windows "n", likely.

  • ImportREDServer.exe runs several Instances

    When I run the CS5 first it starts 8 instances of ImportREDServer.exe (see attached). Is this normal? Also, when I open my project (1200 + R3D clips), it loads a few hundred then hangs (not responding) for 30 to 60 seconds, then charge a few hundred more and so on. I don't know if they are related. However, when I open the version CS4 project in CS4, it loads a lot faster and smoother. Any thoughts?

    Data sheet:

    First 5.0.2

    Windows 7 64 bit

    6 GB OF RAM

    clocked at 1.6 GHz I7

    FireWire 800 6 TB LaCie connected through ExpressCard adapter

    Yes, it is normal that several instances of ImporterREDServer to start - up to one by heart of processor.

    You have a fairly small amount of RAM for a computer equipped with eight processors. If there are multiple instances of the RED importer running to load hundreds of clips RED, it will take some time, especially if these authorities are fighting for a small amount of RAM. Whenever the software fight more RAM, you experience delays, especially if the contents of the RAM, eventually exchanging hard disk.

    I have 24GO of RAM in my computer at home with the same number of processor cores you have. It's a big positive difference.

  • My computer shows several instances of xpsp2res.dll module in System 32.

    My computer shows several instances of xpsp2res.dll module in System 32.  I found them using Norton Systemworks process Viewer.  They look identical.  Is it a kind of duplication should I eliminate?

    I think that the Microsoft Support Engineer gives you just a bunch of things to try that neither explain the 'problem' or won't help you at all.

    Depending on your installation, you can have several copies of xpsp2res.dll on your system and you should have one in your system32 folder, in the dllcache folder and perhaps many others (I'm 27) in the folder system32 on various issues under the MUI folder and different down there.  You can't have two files with the same name in the system32 folder.

    The MUI folder means "MUI" and the file contains messages XP and icons and files contain specific language XP messages.

    If you use the built in Windows search, you'll probably find a lot.  Each of them a click right, choose Properties and look at the Version and then the language.  If you are configured for English, the one in system32 should say English and others in the various MUI files will show another language in the properties/language (German, Russian, etc.).

    You will also find that you can have dozens of file xpsp1res.dll (for Service Pack 1) and dozens of files for the Service Pack 3 xpsp3res.dll, you can even have a xpsp4res.dll file in your system32 folder (even if there is no SP4 yet).

    Depends on your installation, which we know nothing since MS Answers is no problem for any information system when a new question is asked.

    I really don't see how Microsoft Support engineer 'tips' to run Disk Cleanup or the Microsoft Safety Scanner will help you at all.  It isn't even a good guess, but it has links to the KB articles.

    If you think that your system may be compromised by malicious software, I could do this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  • Photosmart 7510 running multiple instances of HPNetworkCommunicator.exe

    I have several instances of HPNetworkCommunicator.exe being run, but only 1 printer configured.  An escalation manager HP/engineer? connected to my PC to help solve a problem that I had with Efax.  He used a tool of the scrubber and left all instances previous HP printers I had and then reinstalled the PhotoSmart 7150 software.

    Everything worked fine after that.  However, Windows did an update on my computer and after that I could not the scanner, no printer software worked (to check the ink levels, scanner, etc...).  Responsible for the escalation, said there are problems with Windows updates because after the update, Windows does not see the printer as a scanner and it is a threat to the network, so it disables the scan from the printer part.

    He has reinstalled the printer that a printer wireless and then scan will work again.  However, he had several (3) instances of HPnetworkCommunicator.exe running after that.

    I went into the control panel and saw 2 7510 s PhotoSmart configured, so I deleted one of the printers.  I thought that's why there are several instances of HPneworkCommunicator running, and delete the redundant printer would solve the problem.

    I rebooted and checked everything was working on the printer.  However, I have yet 2 instances of HPnetworkCommunicator running.  Is this normal?

    Hello

    It is normal to have more than one instance running at the time sime because of several communication actions occouring simultanly (e.g. alerts of ink. Front panel to scan, the device status, etc..)

    This is the mode of operation of the specific software version.

    If you see the affected PC performance, it's another story.

    For such a question, I would recommend you to set the alert of ink as shown below, restart the PC and check any changes:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03191239

    If performance is still affected, also disable the front panel scan option.

    If the software does not affect the PC somehow, you have really not hae any reason to take action.

    Kind regards

  • What is the best way to run multiple instances of the class containing infinite while loop?

    Hello

    I have a several instances of the class (say a, b, c,...) that have the same parent and I want to run the same methods overridden to all instances in parallel.

    For example:

    a.init ()-> a.run ()-> a.stop ()-> a.run ()-> a.stop ()->

    b.init ()-> b.run ()-> b.stop ()->->->

    c.init() ->           ->             -> c.run() ->               -> c.stop()

    ...

    See the attachment for more details.

    The problems are now:

    1. the 'run' - method does not return until it receives the external trigger

    2. everything to run methods return in a different time

    1 chip means I can't use autoindexed for loop because in this case b.run () will have to wait before the end of a.run (), right? Is it possible to run to the loop in parallel?

    2 chip means that an object must be able to run and stop independently from others.

    What is the most elegant solution? The solution copy - paste in the attachment works for 3 instances, but there are currently 10 and more is coming.

    Juha

    In fact, what I wanted to know was "how to add the 'P' loop '... Easy, after you ask the right question.

    In the attachment, there is a test.vi that has two numerical indicators in a certain time-infinite loops. If I leave the parallelism, the two digital are incremented infinitely. If I don't allow parallelism, only the first is incremented (he never leaves the infinite while loop).

    To solve my original problem, I can make an init-start-stop branch within a loop-parallel-indexing for and make sure that there are the same number of instances of loop as there are objects in my array of objects (object array is an autoindexed in the loop for).

    Also good point about the vis environment. I should also add that.

  • Can VMware Player run multiple instances of the same VM?

    I looked around but could find an answer to this question. If it has already been answered, please feel free to point me to that answer. I am relatively new to VMware Player, so this may seem like a stupid question. Please bear with me.

    I've been running Linux in a virtual machine using VMware Player 5.0.2 on Win7 and I would like to start another instance of the same virtual machine, simultaneously. When I try to launch the image once again, VMware asks if I want to take possession of the virtual machine running, but does not give the opportunity to start another instance.

    Is it because it is not possible to run two instances of the same VM, or y at - it another way to get there?

    Welcome to the community,

    This can be done. If another instance would be allowed to use the same file system, the guest operating system would be very likely corrupt the file system. What is possible - at least with VMware Workstation - is to create clones related, where the Basic virtual disk is the same (open in read-only mode), but writes go to independent virtual disk files.

  • Port and several instances of Remoting container numbers

    When dividing the container of remote access in several instances that are running specific services, you are responsible for copy PLM config files in each new location of the folder that contains remoting.  You can then change the configuration file EnvironmentSettings for each to determine which services are running under instances of remote access container by changing the setting isActive to each.

    In doing so, is it necessary to also change the port numbers in each copy of the EnvironmentVariables config file so that they are in conflict with others, even if no service within the container of remoting is running on multiple instances of the container?

    My hypothesis is that if we put a particular service "isActive" false for a given instance of the remoting container, container instance won't lock the port for this service, there is no conflict with the remote instance of the container that is running this service and listening on this port.  This seems to be the case when it is tested, but I heard that you need to change the port numbers for each instance of the container, so a final clarification would be great.

    Thank you!

    Hi Brendon,

    Yes, you are right. If the RemotingContainer service is not running, the port is not used.

  • running multiple instances of VBAI does not work

    Hello everyone,

    We are 4 common examples of VBAI at the same time. Recently, he had to copy it (because production is doubly).

    With our first system, we have no problems when you try to run multiple instances of VBAI. This time, however, it does not.

    Our system:

    • 4 cams: Allied Manta 201

    • camera is triggered (rising edge) separately, but almost simultaneously.

    • Four port NIC (with the right driver :-))

    • 4 ports and our on-noard port are bridged.

    • computer: intel I5 (4 cores)

    • License to run Vision Builder 2012.

    • Programmed with Vision Builder HAVE 2012.

    • Interface programmed in c# (receives images of the relevant info 4 programs and displays on the screen).

    Action taken:

    • Test with our program that opens 4 instances of VBAI. Result: 1 single instance opens.

    • Removed our bridge a connected our cams on a switch. Result: 1 single instance opens.

    • Open VBAI 4 VBAI-programs directly (but separately). Result: Each program opens and is fully working.

    • Open 2 programs at the same time (with VBAI). Result: Fist opens and is equipped with the work. At the opening of the second program, that we get error messages saying that it is not possible to connect with our camera.

    • The test above was created with:

      1. The cam connected to our network card 4 ports.

      2. The cam connected through a switch.

    • I have also written 4 simple programs (just enter a period followed by image)

    • With these programs, I tried the above test (VBAI 2 hours and run both programs at the same time). Same problem: 1programs starts, the error messages when opening a second program.

    I have the impression that it's a network problem, but what bothers me is that, when the bridge, I don't see a difference with our another computer that works on our original assemblyline. When you work on a referral that our parameters are the same as on a computer that does not have a network card 4 ports. The computer (and liked)) allows us to run multiple instances.

    Any thoughts?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I don't really see.

    If you need more information about something, let me know.

    With sincere friendships.

  • Several instances of VI in separate threads

    Hello

    I am trying to run two instances of the same VI (with separate sequence contexts) in two separate threads. These two instances are called from two separate sequences, using a new thread for each sequence. The problem is that the instance of the VI called from the second sequence does not run as long as one has stopped. I need help to make them run in parallel, they should not be waiting for each other to finish.

    Thank you

    Chris

    Chris,

    the VI itself is executed by the runtime of LV. Therefore, if the VI is not reentrant, it will block all calls, regardless of the calls threads, if it is already running.

    According to the content of this VI, the most obvious solution is to set the "returning" VI

  • Update loop under Vi of hand / run multiple Instances

    Hey everybody,

    If I want to keep my code as modular as possible so that I can see any sub or VI.

    One of the SUB vi is permanently offices incase another output is detected. I don't want to make this mark on the main level because I don't want a huge loop in my main.vi and you won't worry about sending shift register valuse to my Subvi for him to function.

    Essentially, I have designed this subroutine Vi and am now trying to constantly be driven from a main.vi

    This hand is simply.

    Cluster of entry--> Sub VI

    Void VI retains a loop waiting for a change request action. Unfortuantely when I change the vale in main.vi the avlues in Subvi don't update. I guess that makes sense, in C, for example when you call Returns you need to wait until the end of the function call to update. Yet, as Labview is so strongly focused on taking SUB vi to do almost everything for you, I can't imagine labview is not able to update these values. I looked around and the answer seems to be global variables. I really don't want to use the because my application will become very big, but I'll use them if I need to.

    Unforunately, when I tried to use my global variable thing, it didn't work.

    1. global Var = Cluster

    2. it's in the Subvi both the main VI.

    3. when I run my code the global variable is not up-to-date on both front sides when I change one of them. I'm doing something wrong?

    A few comments.

    • You have not included the global variable
    • If you want to run multiple instances of the Subvi in parallel, it must be reentrant.
    • As the Subvi is interactive, it must be configured to display the front panel when it is called, otherwise there is no way to stop it ever.
    • All your time loops needed little expects. They have no need to turn as fast as the CPU allows, all other processes of hunger.
    • "Go to under control" is extremely complex and crawling with weird stuff like an ant farm.
      • The shift register must be initialized to avoid surprises (but you probably don't have it all)
      • Your loop runs one time too many.
      • Avoid the stress points, such as the structure of the case.
      • You can replace this whole thing with for example a table of threshold, no need to loop. (see image below).

    Good luck!

  • A case structure run several cases?

    So I have a VI, set up with a case of mutiple option structure to select a power supply that is read from (there are 32 options). Now that I did it, I realize that sometimes I want to can I read multiple entries at a time... Is there an easy way to change my configuration so that it runs several cases at a time? Right now my order is a slider to choose the case. What would be a choice of good front control to be able to select several options? Thank you

    You can create a picture of your options and the loop in required cases. As mentioned, a case may only run 1 case per loop.

    A good front panel control would be a cluster or array of Boolean (for example a checkbox by option), easy to navigate.
