[SOLVED] How to create public keys to ssh to ESXi to another host?
I have read a number of different sites trying to find information on how to do it properly, but I had no luck. I'm afraid at this point I'm all mixed up or miss me something simple [painfully].
My goal is to create keys so that I can ssh/scp, as root, the ESXi server to another server in linux/unix under a different name. Most, if not all of the sites I found coverage today the reverse: ssh/scp from another machine to the ESXi server. I assume that ssh ESXi-> another host via keys is possible...?
I believe that I'm almost there, but in all honesty, I don't know. Here's what I've done so far.
- RSA and DSA keys with dropbear created on the ESXi Server
- convert keys RSA and DSA dropbear ssh format
- Cat's public RSA and DSA keys in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server that I would like to ssh/scp
- even tried to make a copy of authorized_keys as authorized_keys2 on the destination server
- same CAT had the public keys of the ESXi authorized_keys & authorized_keys2
- went up to copy the private key (!) from the ESXi server on the server I ssh/scp area in
In regards to the box, I'm remote in I
- keys generated with ssh-keygen - t dsa and rsa
- typed in a sentence
- CAT had the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys on ESXi box
- as above in desperation I added it in the file authorized_keys local
- copied authorized_keys to authorized_keys2
- copied private keys (!) of the destination inbox ESXi machine
I tried ssh username FQDN, ssh username@FQDN-l and with the IP address itself, whenever I was asked for a password. Naturally if I just ssh hostname it trying to connect as root, which is not allowed and will fail. Again, I apologize because I'm probably all mixed now. might be wise to simply erase all keys & start over.
Is this possible?
Is anyone interested in lending a hand?

Yet WT8 - BITLOCK-how to create a key?
Hi all.
I have no need of BitLock on my Toshiba WT8 yet, but if you read my last post, you will see that he did a heck of a headache.
To reduce the risk to be locked AGAIN somehow or other, I don't know how it happened the last time that I didn't activate or touch all the parameters relating to the BitLock) to my knowledge.
As stated I have no need for this, nor do I have any knowledge in its use.
I would like this does not happen, so I'll ask a few questions and you can help me please.
I do not remember, but when the Tablet is first turned on and being prepared I get presented with the option/setting to enable/disable the Bitlocker?
If not, and the operating system was set in motion, to access Bitlocker (on my Windows 7 PC desktop I'll in the Panel, I suppose that the table would be substantially the same).
Now when the Bitlock icon has been clicked and it opens, that I have to actually activate it by clicking/tapping/ticking or else create a key, or can I create a key in the Bitlock window without it actually start/turn on the program?
Concerning
To be honest it s not I know if you will be asked to configure the Bitlocker configuration first.
But as the bitlocker is a feature advanced Windows system and not available for all the Windows system, I think that this option is not in the first configuration.However, the Bitlocker is a feature of Microsoft Windows, and if you want more details on the features, I recommend you to check the page MS Bitlocker

How to create the shared disk between 2 ESXi servers
Hello
I created a laboratory with ESXi4.1 and ESXi5.0 machines with a few virtual machines on them on my laptop using vmware workstation 7.

You cannot use just a shared between two virtual hosts of ESXi, but put up some "fake" your iSCSI storage, shared disk which could be executed in another VM on your VMware workstation. Here is a guide how to set this using the free Openfiler: http://rickardnobel.se/archives/26

How to create a LOV where he is forced by another field
I'm trying to figure out how to get a LOV to be limited by the value of a column
A hypothetical example (the real app is quite different):
I have 2 tables
clientInfo, with fields fname lname, age, city, postal code
In another table called cityZip I zip & city
So I create a report on a table shape
Select fname lname clientInfo, age, city, postal code
This generates a form of beautiful table, an entry for each client... but I want the user to go to the bottom of the selectList representing the city column and select the city for each record in the table.
So I created a Select list (query based LOV),
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT (code |) ' ' || d of the city), zip_KEY r
from cityZip where cityZip.zip =: zip code
The problem is that the use of the postcode in the LOV query does not contain the zip code of the current record value, so it does not work! Does anyone have an idea how this could be done?Hello
The problem is that the data in your report are not contained in APEX elements in your page. Try to look at the combination of the form & report and put your selection list in the form. When you click 'Edit' on a line, that data fills out the form. You will have then the information limit the query for your LOV.
Good luck

How to create a guest network only in ESXi 3.5
I have no experience with ESXi 3.5 and I have some trouble setting a network invited only.
So far, I did the following:
added a new virtual switch named 'Host-only' unconnected with the fysical network
I won five guests and configured to use the vSwitch 'Host-only '.
in all the guests I have configured an IP address and subnet mask
I used the ping on one of the prompt to verify network configuration, but in vain
Any help will be appreciated.
Confirm that the firewall does not run on Windows virtual machines - they block the default ICMP packets

How to fix a SAN iSCSI on an ESXI 3.5 host?
Hello guys,.
We have a new 4.5 TB iSCSI SAN is already set up with 3 logic of partition 2 TB, 2 TB and 500 GB the last of them. Windows, I see partition 2 but since the ESXI host I can't. I have try to add storage / disk / LUN but nothing. Did I miss something?
Thank you.
Have you given access to all of your guests? Judging by your picture, you have not.
You must give the same access to the each host initiator. Not only vmhost1
On a HP MSA SAN you can make also accessible to everyone that I would not recommend it.
Currently, this is not the case so keep it like that.
Please consider my answer as helpful or correct even if its completely false marking

Rsync for lenovo ix2 with ssh public key
Dear Lenovo,
Bought your ix2.
And I would like to use as a backup device on another place.
So I have a linux sever rsyncing to the ix2.
Cron in order to synchronize the files I need, I want to add the public key in the authorized keys file.
However, this doesn't seem to be possible.
When you enable the rsync rsync user Protocol, but he has a home directory: / pools/A/A0
to which he has no right to write a file of authorized keys.
This is NOT very practical.
Try to synchronize the other way around, through a copy on the ix2 job, is also not an option, because it will then try to copy the entire tree, without being able to clarify what I need to copy
It would be possible to
(1) add a home directory for the user rsync in which to store the file authorized_keys
(2) add the Taks copy module options, to specify what to copy? for example *.db / only the content of the directory, no subdirectories?
(3) give me another solution to this challenge?
Stephan
Do you have a restart of the ix2.
This reveals another challenge: at each reboot the rsync home dir is deleted
However, as a result of new steps 1-4
then enter the key:
SSH-copy-id - i /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub rsync@nasip
Now it works!
