• The SSD drives on local ESXi hosts dilemma...

  My company went ahead and installed the SSD drives locally in each HP Server, so this basically means I can't my hosts in cluster and enjoy the HA\DRS... in my view, correct environment vMotion?  I found a few links referring to this scenario, but it was not clear if the failover will work if one of my hosts breaks down?

  I use them and set the swap file to be stored on the local host.  This save space you on your back-end SAN and reduced some IO.

  If using local storage is important for your VDI sale, I would take a peek at Nutanix, which is a host ESX SAN in a (basically they use local storage and make it work like a San that rocks.)

  I would hold these SSD at the moment, I do not know how CBRC will apply once VMware he applies fully.  If it works anything like Citrix Intellicache, then you could end by using these SSD as the volumes of local cache.  For now though I would not try and design their use.

• Drive external DRIVE does not appear on my PC

  I have the old HDD on my PC that I put in an envelope so that I can get my old files and data of it.  It appears nowhere on my PC (and I tried all 6 USB port) but will show and work very well on my small 80 GB Dell Latitude D630.  The PC didn't it in Explorer, Device Management, disk management, or anywhere else that I can think to look for him.

  

  The scroll wheel is my printer.  Thing is it works perfectly if connected to my small Dell Latitude D630.  However, I can't use that to transfer files, because it is only 80 GB and less than 1 GB of available.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Just please don't forget when you give advice I'm 62 and computer illiterate!

  Just for that I'm sure I understand you, if you connect this drive to its external case to another computer, it is recognized and you can read/write in it.  Fix?

  The external enclosure has a power or it depends on the car on the USB port for power?

  When you connect or disconnect the drive, you can hear the Windows USB connect/disconnect sound?

  Disconnect all USB devices from your computer except a mouse and a keyboard.  Remove the CD from your CD player.

  Restart the computer.

  Connect the external hard drive.  Have you heard the sound of USB connection?  Any pop-up window appears?  If so, what was the message.

  Open Device Manager (click the start ORB, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter).

  1. Scroll through ALL the entries.  If there is NO entry showing a warning symbol, please provide the name of the device, and then double-click it and point out the text in the box under "device status".
  2. Expand the 'Readers' section by clicking on the arrow next to him.  Please list the entries in this section.
     
  3. Expand the 'USB Bus controllers' section.  Confirm that there is no element with warning icons (if the list there please say so.)  There is an entry named "USB Mass Storage Device"?
  4. Is there a category named 'unknown devices '?

  Click on the start ORB, then click "devices and printers".

  1. What items are in the top category (Smart Devices)?
  2. Are there subjects described as "unknown"?

  When you click on the link in the "Method 1" from Sondhi Ashishearlier post, you should see this:

  

  If you saw that and clicked the button 'Run now', you should have then seen this page:

  

  Assuming you've got until now, click on the link "Problems with devices and equipment" (or one of the problems with the devices and printers; I think that they do roughly the same thing).   Run the troubleshooter.

• Home groups keep appearing at the active working folder without being selected.

  People from g ' Day!

  It appears NOWHERE on google, so I know it's a new problem.
  BUT he continues to be on and on, hundreds of times a day for me:
  I am in any folder open normal and it keeps disappears, replaced by the record of residential groups. I have to click 'back' to return to the folder in which I work.
  I NEVER click on homegroup icon in explore again it keeps appearing, replacing the record, that I am.
  Even if I disable homegroups it's always the same thing, except he tells me that he finds no homegroups! I have to press 'back' to continue working in the folder I chose actually.
  (Like the 5 other computers in the House are all XP there is no point in trying to connect the residential groups anyway, they cannot read along).
  She's annoying!
  -Brendon

  Hi Brendon,

  This could be a problem with the files in the file Explorer.

  Please help me with the following information related to the issue:

  (1) you create or join a homegroup on the computer before this problem?

  (2) find the files getting replaced with a particular residential or is - group this with different files folder?

  By George!

  I think you found it for me.
  The residential group was set up when I registered first windows.
  When the residential group slowed down the computer by "file sharing" constantly with himself (there no other compatible computers on the network) I clicked on "leave the homegroup".
  HOWEVER, it turns out that the shortcut I had done on my desk to me quickly to my working files folder was made instead of the folder from the (now deleted) home rather than group directly in place on "this PC.
  I guess every now and then she wanted to synchronize the files that I changed, then tried to access the Group nonexistent home.
  I changed the shortcut so he consulted the record directly on the hard drive and it gave me a problem for half an hour so far!
  Thank you very much!!
  See you soon,.

• Adding esxi host to vcenter

  Hello

  I can't add a 5.1 ESXi host to VCenter server (5.1). When I try to add the host to vcenter, I get an error message "a general system error occurred, VMODL incompatibility between VC and ESXi."

  Need help.

  Usually this error appears when the ESXi host, you're trying to add has a newer version than vCenter.  Depending on your case, both have same version. In fact, it should work fine without any problem.

  Can you please confirm the ESXi and vCenter versions? Also can you please post numbers comes together?

• Software RAID and ESXi

  I was intending to set up a CentOS 7 seveal VMs server and a file server. I was planning on setting up with BtrFs in software RAID 10. However, my company is looking get ESXi and wants me to get some experience with it so I'm considering now to configure the server with ESXi and all my virtual machines running on that. What I was wondering is how I can use software RAID to save what will be my main VM, install a CentOS. Will be setting up software RAID using BtrFS on the virtual machine is useless? If the drive containing the ESXi installation failed, I completely lose it?

  Could I do something like install ESXi on a server on two SSDs running RAID 1, then install at least one of my virtual machines to use RAID 10 on hard drives or not because all this abstract?

  Welcome to the community,

  ESXi does not support software RAID, but only "real" hardware RAID. With hardware RAID, you can set different logical volumes on different disc types, create warehouses of VMFS data on them and then decide on a per-VM basis where to store the virtual disks. You can even have several virtual disks per virtual machine and store each on a different data store.

  You said install ESXi on SSD. Once started, ESXi runs in memory and can even be stored/started from an SD card or a USB device. There is no need to spend money for the SSD only install ESXi.

• HP P410i-> SSD-> Cache host

  Hallo zusammen,

  Wir haben yesterday following configuration:

  1 x HP DL380 G7 mit einem P410i HP controller

  2 x HP SSD (SAS / 6G / 200 GB)

  Installed ist ESXi 5.1.0 799733

  Wenn ich die habe beiden SSD im Server, aber nicht über den P410i als sharp peripheral logic läge habe, erkennt der ESXi sharp gar nicht (weder als space, noch als furs SSD caching of the host)

  Wenn ich die habe beiden SSD im Server, sharp uber den P410i als neuankömmlinge eigenstandige Logical Volumes läge habe, erkennt der ESXi zwar den Speicher, aber nicht als SSD, daher nicht as Chalet set cache host.

  Before're sehen kann ist das P410i ich in der von für die ESXi Version genutzte VMware HCL. Use Original HP - SSD (keine third-party SSD) WIR - von bin ich verwundert daher.

  Questions:

  Der should wish direkt SSD können die ESXi?

  Die Sollter der ESXi SSD, welche als volumes logics angebunden sind als SSD observes können?

  Vielen Dank vorab as eure Hilfe!

  LG,

  Matthias

  This does not mean that you are doing something wrong but,.

  [1] ESXi does not recognize some devices such as SSD when vendors do not support automatic detection of SSD.
  [2] in addition, some SAS non-SATA SSD can not be detected as local. When the disks are not recognized as local SSD, they are excluded from the list of available SSDS.

  So even though that your HW is in HCL, there is nothing wrong with trying the steps listed in the KB.

• Features (such as LAYERS and PARAGRAPH) do not appear when they are controlled to the title of the window.

  I use a new Mac computer. Photoshop seemed to work as it was on my old computer, but now all of a sudden I am not able to locate the functions I checked under the window.

  There is a check mark next to the function (LAYERS and PARAGRAPH, for example), but the small box that shows the layers appear nowhere on my screen.

  I restarted my computer and I followed a tutorial on the Adobe web site to restore preferences, but the problem persists.

  Thank you, kind. I just found a complication: I have a large monitor connected to my laptop, and it seems that something is on this screen. I thought that the large monitor was supposed to match my laptop screen, but it doesn't. It's complicated.

• ESXi 4 lost LUN... Help!

  All of a sudden both my ESXi lost connection to one of SAN storage.

  All the VMS on this SAN become inaccessible. The virtual machine appears to be turned on, but hard drives are lost.

  It seems that only this storage LUN is missing.

  Vsphere-> Config-> storage I no longer see that LUN (S02DS05), but the other unit logic on this SAN number is still there and functioning.

  The LUN appears on the ESXi when I do ls-l/vmfs/volumes that I get in the list with all the other LUNS:

  I tried a new analysis and he finds the logic unit number but it wants to format.

  How do I browse this LUN and extract confidential data?

  How can I re - register the LUN without formatting?

  Help...

  Hello

  the LVM Options are moved in the Add Storage Wizard in vSphere, as described above.

  When your ESX host is unable to read from the lun, he could not mount your data store.

  Either open an SR with EMC to verify if the storage array doesn't have a problem that correctly represents the logical unit number.

  Additional option would be to use vmkfstools to perform a lunreset or a breaklock operation.

  I hope this helps a little.

• I suddenly ghost lines appear in all of my time using the Clone tool / history on every 4th click!

  Making sure that you installed the updates for Photoshop card drivers, graphics and operating system corrects generally, most of the problems.

• How can I add SSD as boot on new ALX disc

  New ALX - adds nothing. You want to boot from the SSD and make the HARD drive to store backup data.

  Did a recovery through Respawn USB.

  Installed Samsung 1 TB SSD HD alternative with Icy Dock adapter dock.

  Run Samsung magician - everything looks good. SSD appears as a separate drive.

  Impossible to get Samsung Data Migration to work. In any case, I'm worried about because it will wipe the HARD drive and, for the moment, I can't change the order of boot anyway.

  The SSD is listed in the BIOS under the BOOT of LEGACY: position as P1 (the disc is P0). However, the SSD does not appear under the UEFI BOOT: topic - only HARD drive. This is all very confusing. Tried to start of list of the HERITAGE (HDD and SSD), but it wouldn't boot - had to go back to the UEFI boot.

  1. How can I load Windows 7 (via recovery USB!) on the SSD?

  2. How can I get the SSD to appear in the list of boot UEFI

  Any help will be graciously submitted

  I'm sure that's how it works...

  Use any Dell or Alienware preinstalled to create a recovery USB drive.

  Disconnect and remove drive spinning (this is your fail-safe backup) and put it somewhere safe.

  Install the SSD in Bay-0.

  Insert the recovery USB disk

  Press F12, the machine turns on and do a one time boot from the USB key.

  Dell recovery allows to write the load of software factory for the disc of starting or C: (what is now the SSD).

  Once completed, the machine should start from the SSD.
