Startup to virtualization... What is the best solution to connect to ESXi?

Hello;

I started on virtualization and have some simple doubts on how to move forward... I hope someone can help me... (I hope I'm using the right forum to ask this question).

I tested VMWare, and, so far, I made just a few steps:

1.-j' VMWare ESXi (hypervisor) installed in a server.

2. - I can connect to this server of VMWare ESXi with my Windows machine vSphere Client, and I created on the VMWare ESXi server a machine Suse Linux, I can use a lot of my windows machine and the software installed on it in vSphere Client.

So far, everything is Ok, but I would go further:

3 - I would like to be able to connect to this virtual machine for Linux on other computers, we (Windows, Linux)... And now, it's when I start to mix all the solutions and products, I prefer not to install the vSphere Client in all machines, because I'm not all machines to be able to administer virtual machines, but only to 'use ':

I found there is a VMware View Agent, but I have failed to connect to my virtual Linux box, because after I installed on my Windows Machine, on the first screen, I put the IP address of my Linux virtual machine and get the message "unable to connect to...". ». I think it is because I have not installed the VMware discover the connection to the server... The truth is that to begin with, I don't plan to do more than 10 virtualized machines, therefore, I would like to avoid a solution where I have to install more software in addition to machines...

... And that's when my doubts:

4. - what would be the most simple solution to connect to different machines to my newly created Linux box and 'use' VMware (not use)? (other VSphere Client to avoid someone administer my VM).

5 - if I could use this solution on Windows and Linux? (Even better if I could use this solution to replace the operating system of the different machines and allow the machines just to start and connect to the virtual machines, because some machines are old, and I would like to re - use as a computer thinclient, in which, at the start, only will be apear icons of different machines to connect)

Thank you!

Alberto.

Welcome to the community - just treat the VM as you would a physical machine - connect via RDP, SSH etc - which you could do with a Windows machine or lelievre

See VMware Virtualize your desktops - that would be the solution to answer your question 5 that you could use a workstation as a terminal Wyse to allow a user to connect via AD and connect to their virtual office.

  • What is the best solution for this idea...

    I have a task I'm trying to test and understand what would be the best solution for this, any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Devices at your fingertips:

    -2 ESXi hosts

    -1 iSCSI SAN OpenFiler (new just installed the app)

    2 ESXi hosts run a small amount of virtual machines that are all in the same domain.  I want to have a file server (or a repository somewhere) that houses a folder with easily accessible software (OS, Office, etc.) on the field.

    According to me, that if I made a virtual machine with a large hard drive and share the software, this would not be the best way because it would be dependent on the OS.  Someone has talked about doing a separte VMDK for it and then install it on the operating system on the virtual machine. This way I could always remove the and mount it somewhere else.

    It seems a bit weird to me that the software within this "shared folder" will also be sitting on the data store (if I create a virtual machine and need to use the OS/etc).  Not that doubles the space for the same software (in the comments, then the data store)?

    What is the best approach to make this action which can be accessed at the prompt (mostly windows) in the field?

    What is the best way to stay away the software doubles in action and on the data store?

    Please forgive me if I put interpereted your question.

    The problem you seem to face is that you must mount the ISOs of VMS software and physical systems that are on the field.

    (please, correct me if I'm wrong on this)

    If this is the case, then the best way to do would be to create sharing NFS on the openfiler, if you use openfiler to main databases also then he would be better for sharing this was separated to prevent the other help to be able to tamper with the VMDK and VMX files for your virtual machines.

    This could then be mounted in ESX to access the ISOs. While being easy to install on Linux and Windows machines to access the ISOs.

    If you have questions about NFS mounting in windows, so, this link may help

    http://sagehacks.WordPress.com/2009/01/21/HOWTO-mount-NFS-shares-under-Windows-7

    If you are needing to access the VMs software and it is mainly the downloading ISOs then th ISO directly to the data store is possible.

    This allows you to use ESX to mount the ISO on the virtual machine.

    On the point that the software will use double disk space when you install the software on a machine virtual car will be on the network share and the VMDK virtual machines in the data store. That's right, and that's by design.

    Each virtual machine under ESXI is 'independent' (http://www.vmware.com/virtualization/virtual-machine.html)

    This means that each virtual computer must have its own copy of the application.

    This perspective reflection of each virtual machine as a separate system of 'physical '. They interact with each other as if they were physical systems.

    Each VMDK resembles a physical hard disk. Being accessible (in most configurations) 1 VM at a time.

    So if you had a set of physical systems connected to a domain and I wanted to install an application on each one, then each would have its own local copy of the application. It's the same thing with virtual machines.

    However

    If you configure a set of physical machines so that you run the software from a network share. It is possible to do the same thing using virtual machines using the exactly the same configuration. However, the chiefs more associated to this are important in both cases.

  • What is the best solution of Webcenter to build an institutional Portal?

    In my team, we need to build an institutional portal for our company (it's a financial services company). So, we start rating the WebCenter Suite, but I m a bit confused about its battery.

    The needs of the portal is based to share dynamic content, such as news, information pages, cats/instant messages with clients, hotsites, change the skin/template/logo in run mode.

    Based in this tip, I know webcenter has two main ways to do things like that, there are site webcenter and webcenter space; so, my question:

    One of which are the best choice to offer this solution? Or the two working together in this case? How do you do that?

    Thank you.

    Check if the following information is userful, copied from the site of yannick:

    There have been many questions about when to use the WebCenter portal and when to use spaces WebCenter. There are specific use cases for each, and you can ask yourself a few simple questions that can help you to decide what to use. Generally WebCenter spaces is intended for intranet collaboration portals. In previous versions, spaces has been used because there is no easy way to build a portal with the WebCenter framework. Spaces was simply because it's there and that's why it has been misused a lot! Since the PS3, all good feature are out of the box available in a WebCenter portal application, then you should really watch the correct reason to use spaces or a portal. In this post, you can find a few questions that you can use to help your client or company to make the right decision. :

    (1) each user requires a personal space?
    One of the features in WebCenter spaces is personal space. In this space, each user can create their own pages and put some components they want to this topic. As an administrator, you can also create pages of role of companies that can be propagated to the personal space of specific users. When you want this kind of functionality, spaces WebCenter is necessary. These features are not available in a WebCenter portal. If you want to build in portal, it will take a lot of work.

    (2) not your project requires separate groups or micro-sites?
    One of the biggest features spaces is to create spaces for group. The space of each group have different pages. All the resources that you create (documents, discussions, events, lists,...) are related to the space of the group. You usually create a group for a Department, project,... to the Group of information into a coherent unit. If it's the functionality you are after, you definitely need spaces. These features are the main features of the spaces are usually among the first that you should look for.

    (3) not your project requires many customizations of the OOTB taskflows
    WebCenter to customize most of the out of the box taskflows. You can rearrange items, or add your own components. The way portal and workspaces with these customizations are slightly different. For portal, it can be easier. Taskflows customization Portal is just edit some pages jsff and xml with the role of customizer. They are automatically added to your gate, so no additional steps required. With spaces, you must create a separate project and import the contents of a generates the MAR file in the MDS using WLST scripts. This can be a bit heavy when you work with large projects and not as easy to maintain as a Portal personalization.

    (4) is the focus on the development of your project?
    When you set up a portal that requires a lot of custom development. If the amount of taskflows, you need to build is big and you need to do this split into several teams, it's a good idea to think using WebCenter portal instead of spaces. The reason is that the portal can be extended more easily. It is easy to separate the core portal development and the different taskflows. When you work with spaces, it's quite complicated to work as a team on the DesignwebCenterSpaces project, which is necessary to extend the spaces with additional taskflows.

    (5) do you need to build a PoC or very quickly?
    For proof of concept, spaces WebCenter is the way to go because you will not lose time on the construction of the core portal components. With a CEP, the base model is not the most important past. A CEP is all about to prove a technology or idea works. This can be easily done in spaces. Also note that once the POC is done, make sure you take the right decision for the use of spaces or a portal based on the previous questions. Not one of my arguments preferred for the use of spaces, but more often you want... When your due date is very close and you build a real working environment that it is better to go to space because you will not have to build the base of the portal. You can concentrate on the integration of your own custom features. This can still be a hassle as explained in question 4.

    What happens if you need both?
    These questions will help you decide whether to use WebCenter spaces. Of course, it happens a lot that you need to have the best of both worlds. What to do in such cases? Suppose you need to build a large intranet portal for a multinational company. Requirements requires each user to have a personal space to enable them to develop their own dashboards. The company also has a custom application that require the presence in the portal there is a lot of taskflows to develop. Basically, it is very easy. When you answer YES on both questions 1 and 2, you must go to space, regardless of the results of other issues. The reason for this is that implementation of these features in a custom WebCenter Portal requires such a big effort you'll save time by going for the spaces. You will lose time in the expansion of the spaces with your own custom taskflows, but it's nothing compared to the effort required to build your own framework for custom dashboard or spaces of group. If the two question 1 and 2 are NOT there is basically no real reason why you should go for spaces.

  • What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

    Hello

    I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

    • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
    • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
    • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

    I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

    Thank you

    Brian

    older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

    the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

    I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

  • What is the best way to connect a time capsule from the airport to an existing dsl router?

    I have a Netgear D6300 router with built-in ADSL modem and I'm getting a time capsule from the airport. I thought to put the D6300 in Bridge mode and connect the TC via a ethernet cable but my netgear router is kept in a metal TV armoire or I asked myself if I put on the floor and used to extend my existing wireless which is a little spotty on the floor, but I didn't know if the connection on the hard drive would be too slow. However I read in another post is no longer that apple supports the extension of networks of "no apple"?

    The time Capsule will connect to the Netgear router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent... no matter how you decide to configure things.

    Regarding the location, Time Capsule can be located just about anywhere that it will allow an Ethernet connection. If you want to time Capsule to "extend" the wireless Netgear, and then configure the time Capsule to create a new wireless network that uses the exact same wireless network name and password than the Netgear router. The result will be a network of 'big '.

    Should be a lot more work, but assuming that the Netgear gateway can be configured to work as only a simple modem, the Capsule can be configured as the primary network router.

  • What is the best solution to recover data from dead iPhone and no backup?

    Hello

    My iPhone won't turn n load. I search on google and read the article of more than 200 and try all the way but did not turn on iPhone. I can connect to the iPhone in DFU mode and iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. Popup message you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.

    If I click this, it warns me that factory settings will be restored and that the data will be lost. I don't want to lose my data. I don't have a backup.

    I'm apple showroom that the guy told me having hardware problem.

    If I restore the iPhone in recovery mode don't know not can be restored successfully without any problem and iPhone turns on but the apple guy told me is hardware problem if hardware problem then how to restore the iPhone in recovery mode?

    I take the iPhone to other stores after they checking all the iPhone, they say can't fix. Some say that the problem of CPU card or the card mother or logic.

    Let's start the discussion.

    Option

    1. I saw on the video, some expert people can get out of the iPhone very easy memory chip.

    Question:

    A. after getting out the memory of my iPhone chip can possible backup on my computer?

    B. can save on my car iCloud account?

    C. they can restore my data to the new iPhone?

    D. is possible without leaving the logic memory chip Board can backup to my computer or iCloud drive?

    2 buy second hand iPhone then ask them take out my iPhone memory chip and put it in the second hand phone.

    Question: After they change the chip memory then second phone show all applications and data? If the iPhone works this way and then also can backup on iCloud Drive?

    3. If have Logic Board problem, then I change the logic board so my chip memory data put on my logic board.

    Issues related to the:

    A. where can I buy Logic Board iPhone 6 more than 64 GB?

    B. iPhone show all apps and data?

    C. can save on my iCloud drive?

    Someone said: he pointed out that it is a small chip on the logic board are common to move on and stop your iPhone from powering on or even charge he did repair today and walla it back I honestly thought that the phone had it but 100% is the question its caused by overcharging.

    Questions: What chip on the logic board?

    I have download where I save the data because many apps account that apps had no backup service. I have data retrospective get.

    If another option available please share here to help others.

    I already spend 15 days on research and to read the article and wasting my time. Hope may soon find a way to recover the data.

    Thank you very much

    Apple does not sell to all parts of the iPhone. The only way you will get an iPhone logic board, is buying a recovered on another phone.

    The iPhone is not serviceable by the user.

    If you have not been back, the chance you will be able to recover your data is almost zero. You must back up before something goes wrong, not after.

  • What are the best solutions for data warehouse configuration in 10 gr 2

    I need help on solutions to provide my client for the upgrade of the data warehouse.

    Current configuration: database Oracle 9.2.0.8. This database contains the data warehouse and a LOBs more on the same host. The sizes are respectively 6 terabyte (3 years retention policy + current year) and 1 terabyte. The ETL tool and BO Reporting tools are also hosted on the same host. The current configuration is really poor.

    Customer cannot go for a major architectural or configuration to its environment changes existing now due to some constraints.

    However, they agreed to separate the databases on separate hosts of ETL tools and objects BO. We also plan to upgrade the database to 10 g 2 to achieve stability, better performance and overcome the current headache.
    We cannot upgrade the database 11g as the BO is a 6.5 version that is not compatible with Oracle 11 g. And the customer cannot afford to spend anything else than the database.

    So, my role is very essential in providing a perfect solution for better performance and take a migration successful Oracle from a host database to another (same platform and OS) in addition to the upgrade.

    I got to thinking now of the following:

    Move the database and Oracle mart for separating the host.
    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome with 32-bit HP - UX operating system (we are unable to change to 64-bit as ETL tool does not support)
    Install the new Oracle 10 g on the new host database and move the data to it.
    Discover all the new features of 10gr 2 in order to data warehouse, i.e., introduction of Clause SQL TYPE, Parallel processing, partitioning, Data Pump, SPA to study the pre and post migration.
    Also at RAC to provide more better solution than our main motivation is to show an extraordinary performance improvement.
    I need your help to prepare a good roadmap for my assignment. Please suggest.

    Thank you

    Tapan

    Two major changes since the 9i to 10g which will impact performance are
    a. changes in the default values when executing GATHER_ % _STATS
    b. change in the behavior of the optimizer

    Oracle has published several white papers on them.

    Since 10g is no longer in the Premier Support, you'll have some trouble connecting SRs with Oracle Support - they will continue to ask you to use 11 g.

    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome

    Why do you need export if you do not change the platforms? You could install 9.2.0.8 on the new server, the database clone and then level to 10 gr 2 / 11 GR 2.

  • What is the best solution for Win2K server without?

    I am running VMware server 2 on a Windows 2000 Server computer. Single processor with a few guests of ubuntu hosting web apps. If I want with VMware 2 or is there a better free vmware I should up grade too? It's a Dell with the old installed dc Perc raid controller scsi/320.

    Are you unhappy with VMware 2 on W2K? I guess you are thinking about ESXi as it's the only other free VMware virtualization platform.

    Why do you feel the need to change? Are there questions? Or you just think improve it?

    If you are moving to ESXi, you should be aware that you lose the host W2K Server itself.

    Pushed by the end of XP, I bought a workstation HP Z230 running Windows 7 Professional.   I would get my Palm Tungsten 2 work, and I've heard several options here on that.

    Options

    Use Palm Desktop 6.2 with Bluetooth for hotsync.  (I've done this with a laptop Win7, but I use the Notepad utility a lot with a few macros, which is unfortunately not supported on Desktop v6.2).

    B. use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 in a virtual Windows XP environment running under Win 7.  I know that I can do, and it's probably my rescue.  However, Microsoft suggests that you disconnect from the Internet when you use the virtual XP, as it can be sensitive to piracy because they support no more than XP.   This will be a further nuisance that I will probably forget to do.

    C. use the USB Aceeca driver to make Desktop 4.1.4 work.  I tried following the instructions here to do, but when Hotsync fails, he never appears as a triangle yellow in the Manager list of devices, even after I followed the tip to make visible hidden devices.  So I could not even try the Aceeca pilot with Palm 4.1.4 again.

    D. install the Aceeca Desktop 4.1 and update their driver.  I might try this (uninstall Palm 4.1.4 and install Aceeca 4.1) but it seems that it depends on the same procedure to update the driver as my option C just above.  So I think I can run in the same c dam.

    Issues related to the:

    Someone at - it other ideas of how to get connected to Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Aceeca driver I could try?

    Eureka!

    I have now received Palm Desktop 4.1 to run on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and showing all the modules with my Tungsten T2 and without locking.

    The breakthrough was all the things above (including run them as an administrator) and adding to it, turn off the power of user access control, as suggested in another post unrelated by Dean (aka WyreNut)

    Here are the stops to run Palm 4.1 (not 4.1.4) on Windows 7 and synchronize with a T2.

    A. install Palm Desktop 4.1.

    B. when it tries to Hotsync and fails, look in the Device Manager in Control Panel and look for a reference to Palm with a yellow exclamation point in it.  Note: This palm reference appears only during a Hotsync.  Therefore, look right after a failure.  NOTE: If you do not see this device or the yellow exclmation point by it, you will probably need to uninstall Palm Desktop and start again.

    C. follow the instructions to install the driver of Aceeca instead of the Palm pilot.  (This is covered elsewhere on this site.  You must already have the driver downloaded and unpacked Aceeca and on your computer so you can navigate to it).  This should enable Hotsync to work.

    D. right-click on the shortcut to the program Palm Desktop 4.1 and go to the Compatibility tab and click on where it says 'Privilege level' and check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator."

    E, go to the control panel and disable user access control.  I didn't find this by going to the Control Panel, so I searched help and got the information.   There is a slider control and who slide down.  You will then need to reboot for it to take effect.

    After doing all these things, I am fortunately HotSync with my Tungsten T2 with its Palm Desktop 4.1 original.
