Size of swap file Windows VM and best practices.

Hello

Windows Exchange file (pagefile.sys) always required to create 1.5 x the total vRAM affected on the C:\ for all Windows Server VM?

My VMFS data store is currently hosted on the Flash storage array, so disk performance are not a problem to handle the load of 25 to 30 virtual machines in VMFS data bank.

With Windows Server 2008 R2 and especially I support files for the Exchange managed on the basis of the system - the operating system is extremely effective to manage it without manual intervention.

Here is another interesting article that can help you decide... http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx

See you soon,.

  • (Swap file Windows 2008) VMware performance monitoring

    Today, one of my virtual machines filled the memory and the Windows 2008 host wrotes a lot of memory in the paging file.

    In esxtop, I spent to memory but did not find a counter that indicates that the virtual machine has been Exchange inside the BONE.

    The MEMSZ was esxtop 4096, SZTGT = 4300, TCHD = 1600, % ACTV = 26%

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - define the VIEW
    for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
    the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Download timer estimate not updated until the file is made of 7/8, size of the file not considered and corrupt downloads!

    Sometimes when I download a file of the estimator download will not update until that file is downloaded about and made. It didn't happen in the previous versions, I think somewhere around v15? or whenever the new download manager has been implemented.

    Another problem is that the size of the file is unknown until mainly downloaded.
    (a.k.a. "calculation of the remaining time - x MB 103 MB (132 KB/s)")
    didn't matter what Internet connection I use, can not repeat on a local network download.
    Sometimes, I don't get on the servers really really really really really fast.

    Oh, and don't forget corrupt downloads!
    file will download as usual, but smaller than the total size who said that the Web site or the list dialog confirmation boxing. Download complete report manager!
    Ending up with a zip file or other file that will not open or run.

    No antivirus software, I run clean, safe and vigilant.

    I managed to get photos, take a look.
    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gu2yiffrazxpasc/xVaAEH4Kod

    I use an extension to go back the look, feel and function of the old Download Manager, but it still isn't correct in new download manager.

    but as has been said elsewhere, I'm probably going to create a new profile so I hope that this will disappear when I finally get around to that?

  • What is "c: / program hidden folder files/Windows apps and why I can't access it?"

    Hey there,

    Make certain to play and ran through the hidden folder mentioned in the title. There is one account of course on our Surface, full administrator access and I was wondering what it is and why I can't access it. When I try to access the folder, I get the following:

    "You don't have currently not allowed access to this folder. Click on continue permanent access to this folder. »

    Then, like a good boy, I click on continue and...

    "You have been denied permission to access this folder."

    But wait... I can click on a link hyper to the Security tab, Ok...

    "You must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click Advanced to continue. »

    Don't panic!

    "You must have read permissions to view the properties of this object. Click on continue retrying with administrative permissions. »

    Okey Dokey!

    Takes me of course to features advanced security where it is said the owner of the folder is "Trusted Installer" and "directors" shows correctly with the settings read and execute access to this folder, subfolders and files.

    Can someone please clarify what this file is for and why there is a folder on my RT Surface that I can't access?

    Thanks for reading,

    To do this >

    Open CMD as mentioned above write this >

    and wait, it stops.

    then again type this >

    You may see nothing... a moment... then... .boooooom :D

    After that, you will see something like: the files successfully treated XXXXX; Treatment failure 0 files

    If its exactly like this "failed processing 0 files" then your done good... and go have fun

    Thanks to Lydia Rohit... I just corrected the mistake on his part (cuz paths of Pentecost of spaces need quotes)

  • to access the QML attached objects in C++ and best practices for the handling of the user interface in classes

    Hello

    I have in fact 2 queries

    (1) how can we access attachedobjects defined in QML in C++?

    (2) I'm loving development on Blackberry 10 C++ is one of my favorites. But I'm a bit lost when it comes to managing the user interface in classes. For example when we create the project through momentics we have a class called ApplicationUI. It manages all the (default) user interface commands, we in C++. as for example creating the document qml and setting as root user interface, etc. I am now working on an app that have NavigationPane as root, and then I continue to push pages (like the screens). But now the code for all pages is inside my ApplicationUI. What is the best practice to keep the UI for each page logic in a separte C++ class?

    I also develop for Android that a separate class for each activity, this code does not mingle for each activity. Please guide me how can I keep logic of user interface of each Page into a separate class of C++?

    regarding your second question:
    I think this is the simplest approach to keep all things in the UI in QML. You can easily put things into separate files.

    If you want to use c ++ to the user interface: can be done, too. just put it in separate classes and include those in your application class.

  • The ESXi 4.1.0 to 6.0 upgrade. -upgarde and best practices

    Hi guys,.

    We are a small business with a single physical server, ESXi 4.1.0 installed with approx. 8 VMs. We plan on buying Essential Kit 6.0 ESXi because that's all we need right now. However, as VMWare says that 4.1.0 to 6.0 upgrade is NOT supported (matrices of the interoperability of products VMware), how we improve our host and VMS?

    I guess the correct way will be upgraded from 4.0. 5.5 U3 first, then to 6.0. However, if we buy the 6.0 license essential Kit, that we will be able to always download and install and upgrade of the host and all VMs to U3 5.5, and 6.0. Essentials?

    In addition, what are the best practices to upgrade a single host with multiple virtual machines? What I did research, we should back up important files from virtual machine, all critical data, etc. All recommendations are welcome. My understanding is that the upgrade also virtual machines will be upgraded automatically, that's correct - methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (2058352) | VMware KB

    Best regards

    D. Stanchev

    Hello

    As you said, you cannot upgrade host ESXi 4.x to 6.x, you must first upgrade 4.x to 5.x and then switch to 6.x

    Before moving to 5 or 6, make sure you ESXi host is compatible with ESXi 6.

    Check cheque and VMware hardware compatibility list if your server is listed.

    Although you'll have a 6 ESXi license kit, you can download ESXi 5.x and use it to upgrade process.

    Only if you need to use 5.x permanently, then you need to get your license keys downgraded to 5.x, otherwise once you upgrade host to 5.x, go ahead and level to ESXi 6.x

    Backup-

    Before you begin the upgrade, make sure that you have backup of all VMs critics.

    Either you can download/export all VMs as OVF, or you can use Veeam's free edition to make the backup of virtual machines

    -Update

    You can join the server ESXi ISO Installer and boot server form ISO and update.

    During the Installation process make sure to select ' PRESERVER VMFS and upgrade ESXi host '

    If you do not keep vmfs, all virtual machines will get deleted during the installation/upgrade process.

    Once you get ESXi Host upgrade to Upgrade VMFS 5.x version so that it can support 6.

    Then finally the ESXi host to 6.x upgrade, yet once make sure PRESERVE you VMFS during installation.

    If you have vCenter Update manager, use update reach the average upgrade easy it is to upgrade.

    Thank you

  • Roles, permissions - DataCenter, file, Cluster, host Layout - best Practices\How-to

    Have a little problem with permissions and roles. I'm sure it will be an easy one for those of you with more experience of working with roles. I hope that my layout organization made with quote boxes is readable.

    The Organization has just spun a new host ESXi 4 for developers and added in vCenter. Developers want to use the vSphere Client\VIC to manage the ESX Server. They need rights to create virtual machines, remove VMs, clone VMs, VMs potential power. However, we don't want them to be able to reach production.

    According to the diagram below, the new host of development, labeled as "HostC (autonomous DEVELOPMENT host)", is located under "Data Center-City-2", who also owns the production ESX clusters. " And obviously I don't want developers having rights on production groups.

    Lets say I have create a role called 'HostC Dev Sandbox Rights', add users and assign directly to "HostC" below. This role contains the VM 'create' right, however when I run the wizard Creation of VM of HostC as a member of the role the vSphere Client tells me this task requires rights create VM on the level of data center! But given these developers to create VMS access on the data center would give them rights to create virtual machines in the poles of Production! Which is obviously a problem.

    I can't believe that our need to give these rights to ONLY one host in a DataCenter is rare. I don't know that there is a misunderstanding on my part of how to configure VMware roles for best practices.

    Anyone with more expirence on VMware roles ready to help me on this one? Thanks in advance!

    Many cases, clusters, hosts

    You can apply permissions directly to the data store.  I didn't need to go further than the clusters in our environment, but what really works for you is to place data warehouses in folders for storage.  Have the records be the names of your groups hosts and clusters.  Then place the warehouses of data for each cluster in the corresponding folder.  Then, just apply permissions for the data on the record instead of warehouses in each individual data store.  Off topic a little, but a records of something in the store of data discovered lack is the function of "views of storage" and I put a future application.

    Yes, if you set permissision to the view of the data store the user can turn opinion and see.  Extensive your permissions framework tests is guaranteed before pushing users.  Looks like you are already doing.
