Storage for Vmotion issues
Currently, I have two hosts running ESX 5.1 and is looking to add a third. I have VCenter Server is also installed. I don't have a VMotion configuration but want to plan for it. My two hosts currently have a SATA 2x1To in them running raid 1 + 0.
Research on the forums I think I know that I would need a separate storage with iSCSI or FC eith server for VMotion to work. Is this correct? I would not be able to use my storage on my hosts to store my VM?
I read on a few software solutions as the VSA unit, but I did not understand if it would allow me to use my SATA drives on my host. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hello
You can also store your VM on NFS (we use only).
-one of the main requirements prior to 5.1 with VMotion was a shared storage (whether indeed iSCSI, NFS, or SAN) - it is now possible to local storage on a host vmotion to another storage room hosts - http://www.vmware.com/products/datacenter-virtualization/vsphere/vmotion.html

You can store your VM alternately on a local storage as well with no problems.

Google Drive storage for audio issues
Trying to help my husband, an author, after the fact. He is working on a book and has compiled several gigabytes of audio interviews. Everything on Garageband as files uncompressed aif. It is not technically suitable.
He saved all his Google Reader without doing them anything. Now, he's out of space on his computer.
The files are all over Google Drive and appear to be good - but he needs to remove the originals on his computer to continue working.
In order for me to check that they are there in the cloud and working, I have to download each one and launch iTunes, is this correct? Because it does not convert, there is no way for me to play them where they reside on Google Drive?
UGH.
It is a way for him to batch convert what it has done so far? There are about 50 or so files, I think.
My apologies for the basic questions; This isn't my forte.
Hey Kren,.
I understand that you have a few questions about your husband works with some AIFF files but are out of space on his Mac. Revisit some information to get it work.
Now your initial assessment is correct, you need to download and play in iTunes to check. Now he can covert the audio files in a different file format that will reduce the size of the files it works with to save space. Another alternative is to move some content on the Mac using an external hard drive. You can move the iTunes library, iPhoto or a photo library to find some space. Take a look at the articles below to go on how to reclaim space, conversion of files in iTunes and even how to move the iTunes files to another location such as an external hard drive.

Storage vMotion issue License - license of moving between ESX Hosts 4.1?
I have a question about Storage vMotion with ESX 4.1 license.
One of my environments ESX 3.5 existing consists of 10 ESX 3.5 hosts - 8 ESX 3.5 servers Standard and 2 ESX 3.5 Enterprise servers. I use a centralized license server (I think that's the correct term).
I found that I can "move" the vMotion (and vMotion) Storage capacity of two of my 10 servers that only two of them are enabled for vMotion, both. I do this by topic under VI Client-> select the host ESX-> Configuration-> network-> properties-> VMkernel-> Edit-> toggle the box "VMotion" activated-> OK. I guess that by doing this, that I'm actually just spend my licenses 'ESX Enterprise' between the hosts.
Be able to run Storage vMotion on one or two guests at a time is a lot for a few times a year I need to reconfigure my back-end storage.
Two Questions:
1. this use is technically legal in a perspective of VMware licenses?
2. now, I'm looking to upgrade to ESX 4.1 and wonder if I'll be able to keep doing this? I have read that ESX 4.x got rid of the centralized server license model, so not sure if I could 'move' licenses around like that... In fact since vMotion is now included in Standard Edition, I guess I could 'pull out' through a license only one ESX Enterprise server in order to obtain the license of storage vMotion.
I let my support/subscription lapse for as long it is cheaper to purchase new licenses rather than paying for support costs with retroactive effect on my existing licenses. The price difference between Standard and Enterprise is large (3 times the cost) that I don't think I can swing is business licenses for all of my guests past the bean counters, where the reason for this post.
Reflections and comments?
Each host has a license key number. You can apply a new license key to a host, and it is immediately activated. I guess you would be technically violate licensing for seconds as a license number was recorded at two hosts. There is a place in the vSphere client to "assign a new license key to this host. When a license key has been assigned, it remains as a choice, then you can simply choose the functionality licensed one and below the other.

Minimum required permissions for vMotion
Hi guys
Environment: Vmware 5.5
I need to set permissions to a user for quick vMotioning of VMs (a cluster 8 hosts).
I found the minimum permissions for Storage vMotion, but not for vMotion specifically that I need
any idea which must be check in the role of letting this user vMotion VMs?
Thank you very much
AFAIK, you must activate
Query vMotion
Migrate powered off the power of the virtual machine (formerly move)
Migrate powered on virtual machine
Resources thr. This should suffice for vMotion. Try these permissions and see if it meets your requirement.

More local Essentials storage improved vmotion
anyone could do this?
in run run 2 withs 5.1 U1 essentials esxi hosts.
the hosts are a dl360 g7 and a dl360p gen8 servers.
I created a CVS and made the processor at the same level as the g7 countries.
but when I try to migrate a virtual machine on the web gui options are grayed out. If I have the virtual machine to the wide power, I can move the virtual machine.
I open a SR with vmware and they said, oh "rebuild them with the essentials as well as iso and it will work," but guess
the essential fact more must be configured in the same way if you make the standard with a shared storage to make it work?
I tried searching for documents on how to implement the strengthened with local storage vmotion, but all I get is the PR stuff say, oh it works blah blah.
QuickCheck: did you create a vmkernel for vMotion on each host port?

Cluster of VSA: can I use vmnic separated for vMotion and HA
Update: I should have clarified. I posted this under VSA so I assumed it was clear that the issue was linked to VSA. VSA 1.0 _automatically_ creates a network of cluster and vMotion. I don't want this configuration as I have 8 vmnic, not 4. So instead of sharing the vSwitch, I hope that I can devote the vmnic.
If I have 8 network cards, can I use my network cards and dedicate for vMotion? For example I create an another vSwitch, then devote 2 vmnic to it.
The manual indicates that HA will use a network other than the ESXi management network. I thought HA always use the ESXi management network?
Thanks for Singapore

Hi Iwan
I found your answer on page 22
Software requirements for ESXi in a Cluster VSA
vSphere standard switch and the configuration of the port group
Each ESXi host must only have the default vSphere standard
switches or groups of ports that are created during the installation.
You don't need to configure any port or additional switches
groups.
So, in summary, you should have at least 4 cards network
If you have 8 NIC you can only add network cards to existing switches for additional flow/redundancy
So changing the vSwitches/Exchange is not supported
I would like to see what happens if you do it well
Please allow points to useful/correct answers

How redundency for vmotion multiple vmkernels?
Hello
I have an equallogic SAN on a host of vSphere. The connection is set up as follows:
vSwitch1
*************************
-Service 2 console
-iSCSI4
-iSCSI3
-iSCSI2
-iSCSI2
-
vmnic4
-
vmnic5
**************************
The iSCSI1... 4 VMK are each and every one is related to a NETWORK card (either 4 or 5). If I can activate only vmotion on a VMK, how to make redundancy?
I guess that NIC dedicated for vmotion is an option (?), but that seems to be an ineffective approach...
Hello Gheywood,
In fact, devoting two cards (team) network for Vmotion redundancy is the best choice if possible. If you can't do that, then you should not put your VMotion traffic on the same NIC team as your iSCSI traffic. You have dedicated network cards / network (physically separated if possible) for iSCSI.
If you combine a group of ports VMotion with another group of ports, the Service Console (or in the case of ESXi management network) is usually a good choice.
Unless you use convergent network (CNAs) and 10 GbE adapters, this isn't uncommmon to see 10 NICs in an ESX host using the IP storage. I hope this helps.
Don't forget to mark this "correct" answer or 'useful', if you found it useful (you'll also points).
Kind regards

Hi all
Is it possible to do VMotion betweeen two ESX servers without virtual Center? I have the trial version of 3 VI that has hypervisor ESX and virtual center client. I want to do vmotion using VI SDK 2.
Is it possible to perform VMotion using all this?
Do need me a permit for this?
Also, when I try to see the configuration of ESX server licenses, I see nothing in connection with VMotion. I enclose copy of screen of the configuration section for the ESX Server. Can someone explain please these questions?
Both ESX servers are installed on their respective hard drives and are not started from SAN. Two ESX Server sees a SAN disk. What else do I need for VMotion? Material of both servers ESX is the same. There is no problem of cpu compatibility check.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
A simple answer: No.
You can also install the VC server in evaluation mode. VC server is the central management body that allows you to VMotion VM. If you use the SDK to move the virtual computer, you must use the API of the VC server and not an independent ESX host.
If you want to use these features in production (VMotion, DRS) you need to a license to company for the ESX host and a server VC license.
Screenshot of advertising: you do not use Server VC and all the features that require the VC server are not available as VMotion.
Requirement for VMotion: shared storage for the virtual machine, several networks (production NW for traffic, VMkernel port for VMotion traffic). VMkernel port for VMotion traffic must reside on its own physical NETWORK card with a GBit network! Also, you must labeld compatible networks.
I hope this helps.
Cheers, Matthias

Flash does not work on some web sites. I never had a problem before with flash on FF in the nearly 15 years that I've used FF. Recently it has stopped working for some reason any and on some flash sites does not, NHL.com and site of kid Herotopia being just two of them. I updated FF, Adobe flash, the reinstalled version them repeatedly deleted all the files that have been stored on my laptop; that is, profiles, saved favorite nothing that I could find in user accounts and in the local app, low local and roaming data folders. What is strange, is that I can't set the local storage for flash either. When I visit the Adobe site to view the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager I can move the scroll bar, but cannot check the: allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer. I can't do it on a Web site where the flash does not work. When I try and it changed on any site that it goes back to zero. Not sure if it is a part of the problem. I got tired of many suggestions on the pages of material here, but nothing works. I even tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4566499#4566499#4566499
The other strange thing is that I used to get the "warning: script does not" prompt that displays "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends. "sometimes when I would buy on Macy's.com. This is the only site that it happened.
I know I have only little technical knowledge, but I have tried to figure this out for a few days and do not know what is happening. The only thing I can think is that I somewhere files corrupted causing this problem. I have just updated to Windows 8.1 tonight in the hope that can help, but nothing helped. I would be very disappointing if I couldn't use FF or must go back using Chrome and FF.
Sorry for the posting long but no solution would be much appreciated.Hi jscher2000,.
Yes, I followed essentially the: Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209 you have posted.
And after restarting Firefox, Flash worked. Thanks again for your post I could not find this solution on the Adobe forums until you have posted the link.
Your expertise and your time is much appreciated. -

What is the limit of storage for "indexDB" in Firefox 4?
What is the limit of storage for "indexDB" in Firefox 4?
I need to know because I write a significant demand with local storage requirements.
More the 5 MB limit in the Local Storage API.
Your response is appreciated.
Thank you
DavidIf the user grants permission for a site to exceed the quota of 50 MB IndexedDB, then as much as I know Firefox is no limit more. The only limits on the size of the IndexedDB database will be the disk space of the user and operating system.
The quota of localStorage is 5000KB and there is no way for a web site asking the browser for permission to store more than that amount in localStorage.

Permanent and continuous storage for family photos large and video solution
I have been using external hard drives to save years of athletics competitions for my children, for posterity and my team amateur video (iMovie project) at the end of the season. However, I need a failsafe, courses and the permanent storage for my thousands of photos and 300 GB of digital video clips (and more). If I continue to use external drives, I still have readers risk bad over time. What are my options, please?
Keep several copies on separate drives offsite. There is no solution "fail safe." You can mitigate or reduce the impact knowing that drives die, buildings burn, data gets corrupted/stolen or lost. Knowing that on the records of time bad go migrate your data to new disks on a rotation schedule.
