• Change the path information for ESX ESXi hosts to access

  Hello all! I hope you guys can help me.

  I have about 47 hosts that I need to change it Round Robin storage path information. If I make the change in vCenter and restart the host it again changing fixed. So, I thought that I should change it to the level of the host through esxicli.

  I have about twice as many LUNS of the Hitachi SAN. I'd like to see if it is possible to make the change in all areas, in some way, or I need to make the change by host? Also, is there anything that I need to change sides San so that it works or not.

  I saw this VMware KB: modification of path information for ESX/ESXi hosts to access and assume that it is the best plan? But did not know of all put into custody, if necessary, that everyone ran to when doing this?

  You will need to make the change by the host and the KB you'll find is the right method.

• Track of the path Alters weight change

  Hello!

  At some point during the last two days, I did something in Illustrator (probably an accidental key combination) which causes the physical track structure to change whenever I have change the thickness of the line.

  I took a screenshot and uploaded to YouTube for example:

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hAA7YIrVwY. You will notice in the video, that as the race gets smaller, the path actually moves to the bottom of the artboard.

  How can I stop this from happening? OR what is the setting that has changed, so that if this happens again in the future, I can fix it? It has been difficult to find an answer, because the keywords are enough relevant about questions of Illustrator.

  Thanks for your help!

  Looks like this thing "snap to grid of pixels" that some bright boy at Adobe thought might be a good idea for CS5.

  In fact it is that a godo idea takes just edutacting users to some extent.

  Select the path and deselect snap to grid of pixels on the transformation Panel. The problem goes away?

  Hi Surya,

  No, it's not any problem with the configuration of your path.

  It only means that this policy does not allow additional configuration.

  I.e. with fixed NMP, you would be able to configure a preferred path allowing you to manually distribute the i/o load.

  Your current configuration does not offer this option.

  Kind regards

• Hot Add Remove lun fails in rescan periodical at the time of the withdrawal, although the path is marked as DEAD as planned

  So we run the hot add and remove cases from LUNs in the certification for ESX 5.5 with Workbench 3.0 kit

  The hot add succeeds to the two manual add and periodic scan... Deletion succeeds manual extraction, but a failure in periodicals rescan same removal so it lists the path out of SERVICE.

  [August 26, 2014 20:24:27: HOTADDREMO] [0] ERROR: LUN is found not deleted after periodic rescan on the first server

  
  

  So I checked the Vmware perl code that performs this case... it is available at /opt/vmware/VTAF/storage50-cert/VTAF/Test/Storage/StorageCert/FVT/HotAddRemoveLUNs.pm

  
  

  Sub RunHotRemoveTest

  {

  .....

  # Remove LUN only cause death I/O path.  It does not delete the LUN.

  # Evaluate for the dead I/O path.

  $deadPathFound = "NO";

  LogInfo (channel = > $channel, MSG = > "Check the path to remove LUN on $server");

  foreach my {$lun (@lunListBeforePeriodicallyRescan)

  #my $lunObj = $host2HbaObj-> CreateScsiLun (name = > $lun);

  $cmd = "esxcfg-mpath - bd $lun";

  My $cmdObj = new VTAF::Framework:Core:Common:Command)

  Home = > $host2Obj-> GetName();

  Cmd = > $cmd);

  my $rc = $cmdObj-> GetReturnCode();

  my $cmdResult = $cmdObj-> GetStdout();

  my $cmdError = $cmdObj-> GetStderr();

  If ($cmdError) {}

  $deadPathFound = "YES";

  LogInfo (channel = > $channel, MSG = > "mpath command returned: $cmdError");

  LogInfo (channel = > $channel, MSG = > "$lun is deleted after periodic rescan");

  }

  }

  If ($deadPathFound not 'YES') {}

  LogError (channel = > $channel, MSG = > "LUN is not deleted after periodic rescan on the $server");

  return FAILURE;

  } else {}

  LogInfo (channel = > $channel, MSG = > ' delete hot with periodically rescan PASSED on the $server ");

  }

  }

  So if you see the code above, Vmware itself expected the path to show the death, but they perceive three error codes for the output of esxcfg-mpath - bd < lunname >

  I think they expect an error to return to $cmdError... But looks at though it lists the path as DEAD, she returns to success... So the $deadPathFound is always set to no. He goes into the path of "not YES" and not the test case...

  So basically had the question warm Add Remove Lun. It is a problem in the ESX version we use and scripts of WorkBench. If we use the build ESX GA this would have worked. ESX changed the behavior of the command in version 5.5 of GA to a new approach and then back to the old approach again in 5.5 Update1.

  The version we use are two versions higher than the release of GA... Therefore, the behavior of this command is different between these two versions.

• How to track the history on my computer

  In order to control my computer, I want to know how I can track valuable data on my history of computers with:

  • Browsing the Internet (mostly)
  • Emails
  • Use of the application
  • Etc.

  I've been looking online, but I found links to hard drives, but some do not work, and others were not what I was looking for.

  With a family, I want to know who has access to what and when.  My House contains different computers.  Can anyone help?  I want to know what the professionals and programs use to track the history, so I don't spend a lot of money

  Hi Nicolas, t.

  If you're using the administrator account, you can check Internet browsing history and see if it helps.

  If you use Internet Explorer, you can view the following items:

  How long the historical change of the Web page is kept in Internet Explorer

  Delete webpage history

  You can also browse the directory of user name in Windows Explorer. The path is C:\Users\------, where you will find recent Documents, search and the recent Programs.You can choose the folder 'Everywhere' in research and get more information. You can also look in the trash.

  You can also use your favorite search engine to browse third-party monitoring software and use them to track the history on the computer.

  NOTE: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  Hope this information is useful.

• my computer can't find the path for windows install what I do to get it back

  whenever I restart my computer, a box appears saying: it can not find the path for windows install and the box comes back to how to fix this

  Hi Billy,

  Try a clean boot (Vista and W7) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once don't forget to reset your system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. If you are using XP, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316434.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Windows Search find files but the mistakes of some of them, which are open normally when it is accessed to follow the path of the error opening

  My client uses Windows Search to help track the files in a fairly large groups. Indexing and everything seem to work very well, but when the user performs a search, it returns the information that are expected, but when you click on some of the files that it generates this error:

  "Cannot find 'file:///s:/XXXXX/XXXXXX.pdf'. "Make sure that Internet address or pat is correct.

  (where XXXX/XXXX are the path and name, of course. It varies and is not a specific place, or all in the same places is originally the same error)

  Varies depending on the issue and the only consistency I've found is than that error all tend to share the same name of 'Owner' and those who work divides different. Yet once again, the 'owners' vary. When browsing directly on the elements, following the exact path in error, the files open fine. In our case, 's:' is a mapped network share, but which seem to be the question either, as the other files in the search located on the same mapped share and in the same directory path work very well.

  To make it even more confusing, the search of all works perfectly on another computer. All users have the same access right, reading/writing/execution, in the cases in question. The file doesn't seem to be open and in-use by other users.

  The system in question is running Windows XP Professional SP3 and is connected to a domain active directory running Windows Server 2003. We have tried to do, and it did not help.

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance for anything that can help you!

  If I (put) understand it, you can, starting with all deselected, commented on are your friends:

  (1) with the selection tool direct Alt/OptionClick the path away from the guy (Smart Guides say path or anchor), then Ctrl / Cmd + C + F, then apply Stroke of origin in the tools/thought the Contour pallet box;

  2) click the Type and press DELETE.

  That should give you the original path with a vascular accident brain (so you can see) and without the Type.

• Trace the path on the shaded ellipse tool

  Hi guys

  I downloaded CC2015 and I am just playing with it. When I use the pen tool, I can access paths 'fill' and the 'coup' by right clicking and choose the brush to make a route of the path. However when I use the ellipse or other shape tools, I can't use the stroke and brush; fill and stroke are grayed out. I tried to use the Panel tool tracks and using paths to access but to line and fill will only accept a line, it doesn't allow me to use a brush (it works fine in CC2014).

  I'm sure it's a really stupid thing, I turned off or have not set in motion, but can someone point me in the right direction, please?

  It's only for a path that does not have a background or contour yet. Shape layers all ready have.

• Change the path of the ellipse to a wavy line

  Hello

  I am tracking a logo and wanted to reach the elliptical exterior form.  I thought it might be a way to transform or change the path to a wavy line, but I don't see it here on the forum or fish around the menus... ideas?  Thank you..

  Use the zig - zag effect and check to create smooth curves.

• How to rasterize a chart that contains data from the path?

  In this function, when I type = 5 (create the path object), the object of trace appears on the canvas, but the BitmapData is empty. What I am doing wrong?

  public function createRandomObject (): Object

  {

  var MAXX:Number = 700;

  var MAXY: Number = 500;

  var MINRADIUS:Number = 20;

  var MAXRADIUS:Number = 100;

  var MAXHEIGHT:Number = 100;

  var MAXWIDTH:Number = 100;

  var MINHIEGHT:Number = 20;

  var MINWIDTH:Number = 20;

  var NUMTYPES:Number = 5;

  xPos var = Math.floor (Math.random () * MAXX);

  yPos var = Math.floor (Math.random () * MAXY);

  type var = Math.floor (Math.random () * NUMTYPES) + 1;

  var color: uint = Math.floor ((Math.Random () * 0xFFFF00) + 0x0000FF);

  graph: graph of var = new Graphic();

  graphic.graphics.beginFill (color);

  type = 5;

  var width: Number = Math.floor (Math.random () * (MAXWIDTH-MINWIDTH)) + MINWIDTH;

  var height: Number = Math.floor (Math.random () * (MAXHEIGHT-MINHIEGHT)) + MINHIEGHT;

  Switch (type)

  {

  case 1: //circle

  {

  var radius: Number = Math.floor ((Math.random () *(MAXRADIUS-MINRADIUS))) + MINRADIUS;

  width = height = radius * 2;

  graphic.graphics.drawCircle (RADIUS, RADIUS, RADIUS);

  break;

  }

  case 2: //square

  {

  height = width;

  graphic.graphics.drawRect (0,0, width, height);

  break;

  }

  box 3: //rect

  {

  graphic.graphics.drawRect (0,0, width, height);

  break;

  }

  box 4: / / ellipse

  {

  graphic.graphics.drawEllipse (0,0, width, height);

  break;

  }

  case 5: / / SVG path

  {

  var pathData:String = "M 0 L 0 40 0 40 40 40 0 L L Z;

  var pathData:String = « M 247 153 L 0 400 400 800 609 800 695 800 696 801 722 873 749 802 774 827 801 801 827 827 852 802 879 873 905 801 906 800 993 800 1201 800 1601 400 1201 0 801 400 400 0 247 153 Z » ;

  path: path of var = new Path();

  Path.Data = pathData;

  Path.x = 0;

  Path.y = 0;

  Path.Width = 200;

  Path.Height = 200;

  Path.Stroke = New SolidColorStroke();

  Path.Fill = New SolidColor (0xFFFFFF);

  Path.Winding = GraphicsPathWinding.EVEN_ODD;

  path.validateNow ();

  graphic.addElement (path);

  Graphic.Width = 200;

  Graphic.Height = 200;

  width = path.width;

  height = path.height;

  }

  }

  graphic.graphics.endFill ();

  var FillColor = 0xFF000000;

  mainCanvas.addElement (graphic);

  var bitMapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData (width, height, false);

  bitMapData.draw (graphic); It's empty when type = 5 (path data)

  Graphic.x = xPos;

  Graphic.y = yPos;

  var dataObject:Object = new Object();

  dataObject.bitMapData = bitMapData;

  dataObject.XPos = xPos;

  dataObject.YPos = yPos;

  dataObject.spriteName = graphic.name;

  Returns the dataObject object;

  }

  So I thought to it. Paths use BeforeDraw() and EndDraw(), making the filling operations and outline Draw(). The problem is that these functions not called until the path is rendered on the canvas. So, I expanded my class path and too rolled the EndDraw() function. In this function, I sent an event. Then, when I catch the event I can get the DisplayObject of the track (which is now filled) and pass this object in BitmapData().
