SRA options for small laboratory tests?

I need to make the Site Recovery Manager basic laboratory tests, to try to get a better grip on it for production deployment.  But, in my lab, I have only low-end NAS services.  I use some servers Linux NFS base for my small lab.

When you try to implement the SRM, I quickly found that I needed a NAS/SAN with replication storage adapter (SRA) software.    Can anyone recommend low range for SRA options in a lab environment?  Is open source, an option?   How about a low end device certified VMware SAN, as Iomega units?

Yes, go to the HP Lefthand Networks VSA, it's a virtual appliance, uses almost no RAM (384 MB if I remember correctly), and provide you with disk space.  A couple of those, download the SRA of vmware.com/downloads, follow the left guide to the replication of the installation, and you can have yourself a laboratory MIS in a few hours.  Finally, I checked that they have downloads for workstation and ESX, I've set up labs on both and they worked very well.

Maybe someone else knows a different "lab" type solution, but it worked for me in the past.

  • Cannot modify read only options for all my files

    Original title: properties of the file.

    All of my files have become "read only".  Even if I'm an admin I can't change that.  If I open the properties and uncheck the read-only box, it emerges, I click on apply and OK, but the file remains read-only.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    From your description, it seems that you can not change the only option of reading to all your files in the computer.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem can be caused if the files are corrupt and comes into conflict with other programs.

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1 have you ever done any recent hardware or software on your computer changes?

    2. have you created the file read-only?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

    a. click Start, click run, type cmd, and press enter.

    b. to display the syntax for the Attrib command, type attrib /? at the command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r s by car:------------

    For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

    If the run command is not listed in the Start menu, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, and then click run.

    For reference:

    You cannot view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7:

  • not enough options for the SSD drives?

    I intend to buy a desktop XPS 8700 special edition. I am disappointed that it doesn't give options for this model - for hard drives, only "2 TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s + 256 GB SSD"-which is obviously a good combination, but for me, I think that a smaller SSD drive would be nice. "" Otherwise, I like the rest of the system. A friend who built his own PC says it has installed an SSD of 128 G and it is sufficiently large with Win8, MS Office, Photoshop and other large programs installed.

    So it of just a comment, is not a problem, but I hope that Dell would offer more options, including a drive to 3 or 4. A Dell technician suggested going to road work stations - but when I looked there, I was a little confused on the readers - workstations all seem to have several readers, probably for Raid configurations, which is something over my head and on my needs.

    Or is it a good idea to have a lot of free space on the SSD drive?

    Hi Hellogoodby,

    Thanks for your comments. It isn't that much of a difference in cost between the 128 GB and 256 GB SSD. Dell is probably buying in bulk from the right and customer demand now, most people want 256 GB or more. You are absolutely right that 128 GB is plenty for the OS and applications. I have a 250 GB Samsung Evo and have used less than 50 GB for the operating system, office and all my other apps.

  • Where is the option for duplex printing to my HP (with duplex unit) Mac OS 10.6.7 2025dn?

    I have a HP 2025dn (the model with the duplex unit installed).  I've updated for Mac OS 10.6.7, but I can't find the option for printing using the double-sided and double-sided printing unit.  In earlier versions of Mac OS X, it's under "Transfer paper" or "Paper source" in the dialog box "print."  Where is he now?

    In Mac OS 10.6.7, recto verso/double-sided printing option is in the following dialog box:

    1. Select file, and then 'Print' (or +)

    )

    2. expand the Menu print (when the "Print" dialog box opens, select the small black arrow next to the drop-down list "Printer")

    3. the drop 4th in the high says "Preview".  In this drop-down menu, select "Layout," the next option down.

    4. we'll find this menu drop down, different options will be displayed.  "Duplex" is the third option.

    5. in the 'Two-sided' drop-down, select one of the two options.  "Long-edged" link will be printed as a book, which means that the front and back will have their vertices on the same side of the page.

    When you're ready to print, select "Print", and your job will be printed on both sides.

    For a recent funeral where the mourners were mourners came from far and from all directions, I wanted to tag a photo of a card to send an email to allow them to find the crematorium (GPS was not an option for most!). This has led many dotted lines of drawing and my usual 'technical fudge' draw a regular straight line then DAB the brush with the approximate background color at a regular interval would not be easy with the number of lines to draw. I look in vain for an option for me to do and was about to return to my "fudge" when I found the features of Style / dotted. Asked me if I wanted to replace the current Styles with those of dotted styles. Thas here no explanation of what he meant-Nevertheless, I selected Yes. My first line 'test' was off the card and several pixels wide I would have used - it was released as a sort of cross between an old 1960s DP Punch tape and an offset miniature piano keyboard. Clear and straight to the Styles/Reset Styles, I chose to replace the default style, thinking to be the inverse of the previous question. No luck - two months later, I can't yet draw a regular straight line. Outside re - install, how to return to where I was? I use Photoshop CS4 11.0 er

    Hi all. I took the course "VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage ' back in May and I want to prepare for the exam by creating a test lab." We do not really have ESXi installation from scratch and I understand that the free version has limited functionality.

    I have 3 HP DL380 G5 servers with storage bound locally, that I could use in any laboratory test. I can probably get a loan from a layer 3 switch.

    I'm looking to get advice get it all and in executing, install ESXi, create the cluster, configure the network (VLAN), HA, vMotion test etc.

    Where to start?

  • Options for saving data in SmartView 11 1 2 2 300

    Hello
    I understand the Options given in the Smart View 11 1 2 2 are not global and need to define for each sheet.
    my professional users alternate between ad-hoc analysis and forms in the same worksheet.
    The data options create more work as it changes between tabs.
    For example, assume that my user is in tab 1 using the web form of planning and it has disabled the option missing, then he goes to tab2 and did the scan ad-hoc where this option is disabled.
    When he returns to the 1 tab options which he chose disappeared. It is necessary to disable them again.

    Is there anyway I can save this data to the server level options.

    Thank you
    Praveen.

    Funny, considering the global options has been a point of huge pain to pass the Add-in to Smart View. People hated being global options. The Options are leaf level now, which means that they are kept on the sheet so if you delete missing on a single sheet and go to the other you can disable that and suppress, lack of will of the stat on the first sheet.

    If you want to create the default formatting for any new journal that is created, go to options and set the options for what you want to start until the new leaves. So instead of simply hitting OK, drop down the small arrow next to the OK button and select Save as default. Now, newly created sheet will start with the options you have selected.
