Storage model - ESX - workstation use

Hello

After a few tips of knowledge in the following area.

We have a half of our people by using the ESX v4 based VMs and about half using Workstation v7.1.

The idea for us strategy, it's if they could share common templates.

One idea would be to have an ESX storage area which is also a normal network file share.

Now, I know that VMware Workstation can import machines virtual/templates and stand-alone converter can do similar.

Both involve the network copy.

Now the ESX for workstation path seems clear, what a virtual machine or a template created on a workstation?

I did not see an ESX import, although there is import export of the data store.

The ESX will manage a model/VM Workstation v7.1 if it were on its data store?

Anyone else had this experience trying to maximum benefits between and Dept. of pain?

Part of the difficulties in this configuration "datastore" mixture is thin issues / think commissioning, IDE / SCSI disks and expand the shrinkage.

(that is, FDI is treated different from SCSI, but images SCSI are not very good for cloning of images of physical computers)

Ideally, you would like your store of "templates" and must be size min then expanded when used as real VMs.

I have not found any article a Ko or help with success and simply covering options and roadblocks in these areas.

Thank you

I do not recommend thick...

Thin and drop thick are supported.

But on both workstation thin and drop thick can also be a single file, or split in two on several files... THIS latest version does not work on ESX/ESXi

  • Error trying to save the binary XML storage model scheme

    Hello

    I am trying to record my XML schema to the server 11 g for use in the binary XML storage model. Here are the details:

    BEGIN
    () DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema
    SCHEMAURL = > ' / sys/schemas/ACSSWEB/ALLMDN_BinaryDetailsSchema.xsd',
    SCHEMADOC = > XDBURIType('/sys/schemas/ACSSWEB/ALLMDN_DetailsSchema.xsd').getBLOB ().
    LOCAL = > TRUE,

    GENTABLES = > FALSE,
    OPTIONS = > DBMS_XMLSCHEMA. REGISTER_BINARYXML);
    END;

    I get the following error message:

    Error report:

    * Cause: The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is not high
    sufficient to allow the operation. Allowing the command would be
    the database is incompatible with the version specified by the
    current COMPATIBLE parameter.
    * Action: Shutdown and commissioning with a higher compatibility setting.


    (1) someone can you please confirm - if change the compatible parameter will help accomplish this?
    (2) is there one other way (other than to change the compatible parameter) to make this work? My DBA are not immediately ready to change the parameter with the fear of breaking legacy applications even in the test environment. I seek an alternative solution to help me analyze the binary XML storage model.

    PS: I am a newbie to XML DB native development. So please forgive me if I asked a very simple question.

    Binary XML is a feature of Oracle 11, which is why the error message.

    There is probably an event (Oracle support/internal) parameter that once was able to make this happen in point 10.2 as well or, despite you must also update some of the registered scheme etc., etc., etc. to the point 10.2...
    In short: he took no other way responsible to do. Set the compatible parameter 11.x if you want to use storage binary xml based schema.

    Hello

    First of all, you can try a different sw for phone (for example 8.4.2S). I have a similar problem with the 8.5 software and phones 7945/7965. Secondary, you must attribute av-pair confiigure side ACS for the correct placement of the voice phone to vlan.

  • Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

    Thank you very much

    Tim Auluck

    I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

    Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

  • How do to identify the documents called "models of library" using the RESTful API?

    How do to identify the documents called "models of library" using the RESTful API? Furthermore, what constitutes a document to be a "model of library"? I see nothing in the libraryDocuments RESTful documentation that describes this type of document, such as presented on the tab 'Manage' my developer account. Please see the screenshot below. There is a model of Document named "[DEMO ONLY] Test model" listed under "Library Templates" and I try to figure out which classifies that document to be included this way and how does produce a similar announcement by using the RESTful API.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can connect to access library models using the REST API, use 'GET /libraryDocuments' allowing to recover documents in library for a user. Models are created in the account of EchoSign, which later are accessible via the REST method mentioned above.

    Hi Arnim,

    Could you please check your ProxyPolicy settings (Get-PowerCLIConfiguration)? You can set the proxy for 'NoProxy' strategy and try to reconnect. I guess it could be the cause of the problem.

  • Redundency Server ESX/EXi using storage internal

    I use ESXi to run a few rarely used VMs.  ESXi is running a server with internal storage.  ESXi having no backup capabilities, I would install another ESXi server and to keep the two synchronized in the case where the primary server goes down.

    First of all, is it possible with ESXi?  Or do I need to buy an ESX license for two servers and also buy and use VMotion to keep synchronized?

    Second, what is the maximum RAM ESXi or ESX 3.5 will support?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I use ESXi to run a few rarely used VMs.  ESXi is running a server with internal storage.  ESXi having no backup capabilities, I would install another ESXi server and to keep the two synchronized in the case where the primary server goes down.

    ESXi backup can be performed using the latest version of Veeam Backup. So, that exists now.

    First of all, is it possible with ESXi?  Or do I need to buy an ESX license for two servers and also buy and use VMotion to keep synchronized?

    You could look at VM level replication (Doubletake, etc.). VMDK (vReplicator, Veeam Backup) level replication. Or watch in Xtravirt XVS or HP Lefthand Networks VSA as alternatives.  These last two options will synchronize local storage between multiple hosts. XVS is limited to 2 guests and 1 handles LUN but VSA more. XVS is also free.

    • Repalce the 6 146 GB hard drive with 12 300 GB hard drive and store the virtual machine.

    This will work:

    1. Insert 6 300 GB HDD in for storage of balde
    2. Create a new table
    3. Present this as a data store
    4. migrate the virtual machine to the new store using storage vmotion
    5. remove the old store of 146 GB
    6. Remove the disks from 146 GB of storage blade

  • Controller of active/active storage and ESX 3.5 U4

    My SAN controllers are configured as active/active, both quick (?) question.


    Can I not load balance my ESX 3.5 host traffic HBA (2 HBAs for each host of course)?  Manage the paths of dialogue shows ' round Robine as "Experimental" only that I'm obviously not to use in production.

    My guess is that I can't have ESX host HBA not experimental load balancing up to what we have upgraded to ESX 4.0... I just wanted to hear here officially I can tell my boss ' see? We HAVE upgrade for it, you fool! »

    With 3.5 and active/active storage, good politics is fixed path.

    The load balancing is experimental.

    Or you need to upgrade to vSphere.

  • Change the model of phone using BAT button

    Hello

    Is it possible to use BAT to change the 'model of phone button' which is attributed to several phones?

    You cannot use BAT for updating the model of phone on existing phones button. However, you can set up the model of phone button on phones that you add by using BAT, so you can export the phones that you want to change, remove them from the CCM and add them using bat with the model of phone updated button.

    I hope this helps. If so, please indicate the position.

  • The upgrade of Vista Business 64 bit on a workstation used

    I recently bought a Dell Precision T5400 used with Windows Vista professional. I'm very happy with it, but I intend on a program 64 bit running on the workstation. What are my upgrade options?

    Anyway you have to clean install.

    Your options are Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.

    You can use a Digital River 64-bit with Service Pack 1 setup files to a bootable media and pure install 64-bit Windows Vista Business.

    I recommend Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 64-bit, but you have to pay for a license (its probably the most expensive option).

    You can also switch to Windows 8 Professional upgrade license is cheaper than that of Windows 7, but in my opinion, a lower quality product.

    I would recommend either tried and decide what you like the most and if you think that its worth the upgrade.

    Follow the instructions in install windows own A: http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/

    I suggest running step 2 and 3 to A Clean installation of Windows Vista before experimenting. The guide tells you how to obtain trial versions of Windows 7 and 8 so you can evaluate them. With Vista 64 bit, you have the product key and must be able to activate using activation activation recovery backup program or phone to Microsoft.
