temporarily change the order of starter for guest VM

I'm working on the implementation of a tool to make the Oracle Linux comments installs using PXE.  The process works for the first start after a virtual machine is created, but I need to repeat the installation after performing various configuration settings.  Change the order of boot in the BIOS seems to be persistent so the second test loops just did the PXE installation.  Is there a way to temporarily replace the boot device?

I understand trashing the boot volume might work, but I do not know exactly what or how to do it.

Thank you

Glen

The easiest way would be to set a delay start (for example 5000 ms) in the settings of the virtual machine. This will give you enough time to press the ESC key for startup selection menu.

  • Change the Notes to custom for guests attributes field

    People,

    I need a way via Powershell (I know I could probably do via SQL, but I would avoid editing the VC DB directly) to go through a server cluster and be able to edit any guest VM that has a custom attribute defined in the Notes field. Our problem is that we use Platespin for all of our P2V and he puts this long text string after each conversion in the Notes field:

    "Virtual Machine created by PowerConvert 7.0.0.5157 08/08/2008 23:47:46.

    We want to shorten the chain to a something simple, since it appears on reports and causes problems with the formatting, something like "P2V 08/08/2008 23:47:46.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you.

    You can use the - operator replace like this

    $text = "Virtual Machine created by PowerConvert 7.0.0.5157 on 8/8/2008 11:47:46 PM"
    $pattern = "Virtual Machine created by PowerConvert 7.0.0.5157"
    $newtext = $text -replace $pattern, "P2V"
    $newtext
    

    If the model is not constant, then we use a regular expression for the matching process.

    Hello

    I would like to inform that you can not change the order of columns or remove columns completely as it is by design. However, you can display or hide items in the console window.

    Hide columns in Diskmanagement:

    a. Click Start, type diskmgmt.msc and press to enter.

    b. click view and select Customize.

    c. you can select or clear the check boxes to show or hide items in the console window.

  • change the order of the images displayed in Windows Media Center

    I'm changing the order that pictures are displayed.  To try to change their order of appearance, I changed the photo taken date of some photos.  When I go through the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery, they appear as I intend.  When I go through the same pictures in Windows Media Center (by date taken) some photo are out.  But they are not the photos that I've changed.

    Once they appear in the correct order, I intend to burn to DVD with background music.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello donb113,

    ·         Have you tried to update the media library of the Center once you have changed the order in which the photos are sorted?

    You can delete and any location where you have saved your photos (media files). This will refresh your Media Center Library and sort files in the order that you have sorted your computer.

    1. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

    2. click on the library settings.

    3. click on remove the folder to watch and then click Next.

    4. According to the where your digital media files are stored, click one of the options under which folders you want to add?, and then click Next.

    5 navigate in the folders that you want to add by clicking on the - and + buttons, and select the check box next to each folder. (Files in subfolders will be included with your selection).

    6. When you have selected all the folders that you want Windows Media Center to watch, click Next and then click Finish.

    After you have finished adding files, it may take several minutes for the files in the libraries.

    Follow the same steps and add the folders back.

    This will add the files in the order that you have saved on your computer.

    The question is how do I get the position of the foresight of component the FlowPane and change the order when I drop the component?

    P.S

    I have a FlowPane with many small panels that are BorderPanes. I want to change the order of the BorderPanes with the mouse drag and drop. But I'm sure that this feature at the moment is not possible. So I think I can solve this problem in the other direction.

    I can insert component additional which will be inserted into the FlowPane and held the BorderPane:

    FlowPane-> component-> BorderPane

    I can add setOnDragDetected() and setOnDragDropped to the component in order to implement the transaction slip and fall.
    The question is which component will be suitable for this task? I need to make it transparent and it must be resizable auto because the BorderPanes can expand and shrink. Can you give me some advice?

    Concerning

    No idea why you think that you should add another component between each part of the border and the workflow pane. Why not just put the behavior of dragging on each side of the border?

    To change the order, just children of the pane flow and basically manipulate it like any other list, using (...) remove and add (...). Just be careful to remove the two nodes first, then add them after (so you do not violate the rules of the graphic scene).

  • Changing the order of the drives using the VI SDK

    Hello

    I'm changing the order of the discs using the VI API SDK. Can anyone help me in doing this. Currently I have remove all the diskdevices and make a ReconfigureVM_Tak followed by adding disk devices in the order of the prefeered and new call to the ReconfigureVM_Task.

    On this I finish by adding records in the same order, which has been defined as a prerequisite for these operations.

    Any kind of help in this is apprciated.

    THX,

    Germain

    So my question is why exactly are you doing this? If the disks are empty, then simply put any drive you want to be the first and foremost.

    The label "Hard disk X" is just to let you know how many disks is attached and which adapter/SCSI bus is on. If you have added disk0-2 and you remove and you add back them in reverse order, then disk2 will now label 'disk 1' since this is the first record added. What really matters is the map/bus it's on, because the OS will see the readers in a certain order, which is what I think that where it counts.

    At this point, you will never get the labels to be "inverted" because the labels are generated to ensure uniqueness through the number of disks.

    I hope this makes sense, so the recommendation is to order the disks in the order in which you want the OS to see it, that will be by selecting the map/bus

    for example SCSI0:0, SCSI0:1, SCSI0:2...

  • Interactive reports will change the order of columns

    Hi all

    Have experienced this for the 3rd time now. The other times I just create a new report with the request in the order you wish to fix. But it starts to become annoying now...

    When I use the arrows to change the column order on my reports interactive nothing happens when running. The new order is saved and appears that way in design mode, but does not change the order on the report.

    Please let me know if you know how to solve this problem, or if Miss me just something really obvious.

    Thank you!
    K

    Hey,.

    Changing the order in the attributes report is more an effect, since the default report parameters overwrite it.

    If you want to change the order of the columns, you must go through the menu actions of the interactive report, then choose the column selection menu item, change the order and press ok.

    Then save this order order by default, you go to the action menu again and choose save report option this time, select "primary" or "Save as default" depending on your version of apex (this option is available only if you are connected as a developer in the generator of the apex). Then press the ok button again.

    Other users will only see the changes if they press the reset button on their version of empathy.

    I hope this helps.

    Hey Aktivoli,

    If I understand correctly, you use the Apple music app and want to change the order of the songs until the next.
    I recommend reading this article, it explains how to change the order in the Apple's music library and playlists.

    Swipe up on reading to display your queue up next, that lists all the songs that you have selected for the current playback.

  • How can I change the order of open tabs?

    I currently have about a dozen tabs open, most need to be read in a particular order. Is it possible to change the order of these tabs? If not, hang a tabs without sliding laterally could become a method of 'release' of the selected tab, allowing it to be moved to the top or to the bottom of the list (I think that it looks like a good and especially easy and possible future addition to the app).

    Thanks for your time,
    Adam

    Adam, unfortunately at the moment it is not a feature of Firefox for Android. To move tabs, you will need to close and open them in the order you want them to appear.

    If this is a feature you want, however, I would recommend leaving your comments on this matter in input.mozilla.org.

    I was wondering why there isn't a way to change the order of the email accounts in the list?

    I created a new e-mail address and want it to appear under the first in my list of five email accounts, that I put in place. This last address is very important, the order in which I discover them is also important.

    A useful feature would be to order the accounts, as they are displayed vertically. Maybe a drag and drop system as I've seen in the WordPress CMS for menus. Just a thought.

    Sincere greetings
    Glynn

    Go to the Add Ons page and the search for records of manual sorting. It will do what you want.

  • How to change the order of the keyboard languages

    Yesterday I updated the OS X 10.11.4. Today, I noticed that the order of the keyboard languages has changed, it is not any longer in alphabetical order. In my case, it used to be Canadian English, then Romanian, then Romanian - Standard. Now it is Romanian, then Romanian - Standard, so that English-speaking Canadians. I would go back to the previous command (which was true for OS X Leopard) because he is Canadian English that I use the most and I want him to be at the top. However, I can't be able to change the order. How this could be achieved? Thank you.

    Help! Anyone, please?
