  I'm running on vmware workstation on Windows 7 with Lenovo laptop.

  in the configuration of your virtual machine, the main issue is memory. you gave the 2 GB of RAM, whereas ESXi 6 cannot go forward without minimum 4 GB of RAM.

  If please have 4 GB of RAM and re-run Setup. you will get through.

  message about the network card should also not appear after that. What kind of network you choose depends on your need.

• iptables, limit of carrots, upload the data... store in esxi 4.1

  I would like to run a machine virtual single windows 2008 hypervisor free vsphere 4.1.

  The sole purpose is to use iptables to filter all traffic to the esxi host and the windows prompt. I haven't needed the features of virtualization fancy, I just need to protect a windows with a little expensive but powerful Firewall Setup, and although virtualization might do the trick. I already tried with xitrix xenserver and found several problems... It is now time to vmware

  The windows prompt will run game servers, so it is important that no jitter and (almost) no delay is introduced into the network. I also prefer to avoid validation CPU and RAM resources for a second virtual machine if it was not strictly necessary.

  That's why I prefer to do all filtering with iptables on the level of the host layer and not in a linux host. In my view, it is possible to enable SSH on the host computer and play with iptables, I guess on the ENTRY (to protect the host) and FORWARD (to protect the guests) channels. Well, I guess it's safe enough to do so, provided that no network no associated settings will be affected in vsphere after that?

  I don't know which are the limits of the free vsphere hypervisor edition. On a Xeon W3520 (4 cores + 4 hyper threading), I'll be able to use all 8 cores in the guest windows 2008 standard system (affecting multiple cores per processor as explained here, to avoid to reach the 4 plugs windows limited)?

  What are my options to download the file .iso windows image in the data store? Last time I looked the vsphere client, I could upload it only on my local hard drive and wget was not available in SSH (command not found). My crappy DSL download speed of 384 Kbps, this is not a viable option. The box is headless and located in a remote data center. I have esxi installed via the automated installer netboot provided by the farm, which formats the two hard drives.

  I guess I could get an answer to most of these questions by just trying, but unfortunately, the checkbox I able to run esxi is this one, and it's a box of production... so before I do that I need to document myself to be able to work quickly and with as few surprises as possible.

  Thank you

  Hello crossed.

  Welcome to the forums.

  There are no firewall in ESXi. See here: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1026845 .

  There's no other way than to use a virtual machine to filter access to the virtual machines and the management network.

  Run a virtual machine with 8 vCPUs, to Enterprise Plus license. And it is not recommended to give all the processor cores to a virtual machine, that host a. vSphere need CPU resources to run the client. If your guest consumes all CPU resources, your host will not be able to handle comments properly.

  To load an Iso file on a data store, you can also use WinSCP or FastSCP.

  Good luck.

• How to open all the text files in a folder at a time so that they cross my VI in good order and the VI should only be run once per file?

  Hello

  I am currently looking to browse hundreds of text files my VI to run the VI once and having labview to open each text file in the order numberical that are contained in a single folder.

  In general, I ran each file one at a time through the VI, hours to browse all text files. I'm wondering if there is a way I can specify a target folder and then open each text file in the target folder and walked through my VI in numberical order (each file is located in the order that is MM_01, MM_02, MM_03...). Currently I open a file at the same time, through "the spreadsheet read", then the index table, and then run through filters etc to get the data I need. I hope there is a way to do it, because he will save days of work.

• Check if the layer is visible and run a function according to the answer

  Hey guys,.

  I have a question that has been racking my brain these days.

  If I want to run a script when I press a button that will check if a specific layer is visible. If so, it performs another function that shows additional layers. If the specific layer is not visible, it checks the next layer to see if it is visible. This continues until it checks all the necessary layers and is a visible layer.

  Here's the script in question:

  EXPRESSIONS OF FOLKLORE

  Any help is appreciated seriously. Thank you guys!

  Hey guys, I promised that I would update this post to help others if I got the answer, so here:

  Firstly, the developer has created a function to automatically get the layer. I had problems to find ways to select layers, especially because the layers were nested in groups inside groups. This helped solve that. The function was this:

  function selectLayer(name) {
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putName( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), name );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
    desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('MkVs'), false );
    executeAction( charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
    return
  };
  

  Then call the layer using layer real name (assuming that your layer names are unique. If they aren't, you'll find yourself only to select the first layer with the same specific name) throughout your script file.

  IE. In my case, selectLayer ("actnStd"); or selectLayer ("actnWlk");

  You then set the visibility by using the following code:

  // show
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  // hide
  app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  

  Then use a function to check whether a layer is visible. If the layer is visible, you run the function show/hide layers respective:

  function CheckactnWlk() {
    selectLayer("actnWlk");
    if  (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible == true) {
    SelectactnWlk()
    }
    else  {
    CheckactnRun();
    }
  };
  

  So in the end, the final script looks like this:

  #target photoshop
  
  app.bringToFront();
  CheckactnStd();
  
  function CheckactnStd() {
    selectLayer("actnStd");
    if  (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible == true) {
    SelectactnStd()
    }
    else  {
    CheckactnWlk();
    }
  };
  
  function SelectactnStd() {
    selectLayer("topMskStd");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
    selectLayer("topStdTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
    selectLayer("topWlkTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topMskWlk");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topRunTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topMskRun");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  }; 
  
  function CheckactnWlk() {
    selectLayer("actnWlk");
    if  (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible == true) {
    SelectactnWlk()
    }
    else  {
    CheckactnRun();
    }
  };   
  
  function SelectactnWlk() {
    selectLayer("topMskStd");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topStdTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topWlkTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
    selectLayer("topMskWlk");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
    selectLayer("topRunTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topMskRun");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
  };
  
  function CheckactnRun() {
    selectLayer("actnRun");
    if  (app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible == true) {
    SelectactnRun()
    }
    else  {
    alert ('There is no Selected Layer', 'Please select a layer', 0);
    }
  };
  
  function SelectactnRun() {
    selectLayer("topMskStd");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topStdTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topWlkTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topMskWlk");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = false;
  
    selectLayer("topRunTt");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
    selectLayer("topMskRun");
    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.visible = true;
  
  };
  
  function selectLayer(name) {
          var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
          var ref = new ActionReference();
          ref.putName( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), name );
         desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
         desc.putBoolean( charIDToTypeID('MkVs'), false );
         executeAction( charIDToTypeID('slct'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
         return
  };
  
  app.preferences.rulerUnits = rUnit;
  app.preferences.typeUnits = tUnit;
  
  selectLayer("actnStd");
  

  Guys good luck! Now to find how to select random layers via the script.

  Our virtual machine running vmware server ESX 3i 3.5.0 has 2 hard drives, datastore1 and datastore2.   All of our virtual servers are stored in datastore2.   Our hard disk with the datastore2 crashed and he had to be replaced.    We have backups of our virtual servers in datastore2 virtual appliance.

  To solve the problem, we replaced the hard drive crashed and then restored by using the virtual appliance backups, once restored, we noticed that the Windows 2008 requires that the activation of the licenses.

  My question is why does windows need activation when we restored the virtual server for the same hardware? The only thing that has changed is the hard drive.

  Thanks for any help on this issue.

  Export/import unfortunately OVFs does not have an option (at least I'm not aware) to maintain these settings. What you can do - when exporting the virtual machine as an OVF - also download the machine virtual . VMX and .vmxf files. After re - import the OVF, remove it the ESXi host inventory, download the two * .vmx files and add the virtual machine to inventory. -Once asked if you copied or moved the VM on the first power-select "I moved it.

• Need to identify the model A100 to select the good BIOS update

  Good morning to all and thanks in advance for any whole made :-> assitance

  My question is this:
  How to identify the exact model of a Satellite A100 PSAAxx series laptop?

  Reason:
  I need to update the BIOS and I'm uninclined to simply apply the updates, I could get for fear of turning it into a brick.

  What I know:
  There is some time, my wife and I bought a used Satellite A100 - in good working condition, but warned that he has 'problems' with USB ports driver. The time has come to address the issue of the USB, and the upgrade of the BIOS seems to be a good starting point.

  At the time of purchase, the label with the model number and the number of harem on the bottom of the system was quite readable - unfortunately, this label has subsequently lost all 'tailor-made' (we know what the fields are called by all useful information has disappeared).

  It is a Toshiba Satellite A100 (I have discs recovery and thus marked user manual).
  The user manual specifies the model number PSAAxx.
  CPU: Celeron M 1.4 GHz
  RAM: 704 MB
  HD: 40 GBbyte
  Graphics card: ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 M Series
  BIOS: v1.20 2008-12-12

  Any suggestions gratefully received

  Hello!

  To identify what A100 you exactly, you can use Toshiba PC Diagnostic. If you have installed the laptop with the recovery disk, this tool is installed too.

  If you n t have PC diagnosis, you can also download:

  In the diagnostic tool you can see on the part number (basic information of category).

  Good bye

• What is this average, Disk Defragmenter has detected that chkdsk command is schduled to run on the volume: (C). Please run chkdsk /f.

  Been trying to run the defrag on my C drive and this message keeps coming up.

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  Since XP of course already thinking that the volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk when it restarts to try to clear the dirty bit, in order to plan another running chkdsk can not help you much.  Sometimes the auto chkdsk on a reboot will be not only clear things to the top, but you can try it.

  I would like to start in the XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there you can actually watch and see what happens and decide what to do about this.  When own running chkdsk/r, it clears the dirty bit unless your HARD drive is somewhat distressed.

  If you have not saved your data and you want to start the computer with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix and copy your data files on an external hard drive. It is a precautionary measure before the step follows because things happens. ;-)

  Then do a repair installation.

  If the repair installation does not work, test the equipment to ensure that none have been damaged during the blackout and then do a clean install of Windows.

  If all goes well, no equipment was damaged during the shutdown. Consider buying a power supply (battery backup). APC and Belkin are good; for a computer, simply spend about $60. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
