Turn off the power of infrastructure ESX 4.1 with VC as a guest

Hello

We have 4 guests ESX 4.1 running in a single cluster with VC running as a VM guest.

I was wondering what are the necessary steps safely stop a cluster VMware and environment

So far, I have the following text:

1 connection to the VC server via vSphere client and note of VM guests who have the following VM guests:

  • VMware VC Server
  • Server of DB holding VMware DB
  • Domain controllers

2 judgment of vSphere client using all standard virtual computer guests:

3. connect to the appropriate host of VM (from the list above) with the root vmware account and stopping the VM guest following in this order:

  • VC Server
  • Server of DB holding VMware DB
  • Domain controllers

It is at this point that I'm not sure-should I then log on to the hosts of the VM using the console and put into mode of maintenance and downtime of the console command line? Or would I have to do that by using the vSphere client?

Chicken and egg situation

It would be easier and cleaner to my paperwork so I could put the server in maintenance mode and close it from the console / shell / command line (whatever your call him) but I'm not sure commands to do this?

Maybe I'm wrong all!

In any case, help stop the environment itself would be very helpful!

Thank you

John

The steps you mentioned are ok and there is no problem with the closure of the host (s) using the vSphere to all customer. No need to do it from the console.

    Hi all.
    I am owner of laptop Satellite L20. I always turned off power to my computer when I need to connect or disconnect a USB device.

    For this printer only when it is connected to the network. Quite happy to sit quietly when printer NOT connected to the network.

    Unplug the network cable from the printer, check and clear all print queues (there may be a doc pdf sitting in a pc or server print queue)

    Once the queues have been dotted, restart the printer and reconnect the network cable.

    If this does not cure the problem, then the likely problem is a defective formatter Board.

    Good luck!

  • Cisco router WIFI does not work after turning off the power

    I have a CISCO router that worked very well until someone turned off the power for a few minutes.  I tried to unplug the modem, the router and the laptop and waited a bit.  Then I turned on the modem, then the router, then my laptop but it is still not in communication with the modem.  I can use the modem with a hard connection to the laptop but need the WiFi as well as others can use it.  Help, please.

    You need to contact support with your Cisco router.  It looks like it might have been reset and the installation needs again.

  • E 7520 HP All - In - One Printer: turn off the power to the wireless printer

    I have not printed for a few days I have not noticed if my Wi - Fi connection worked.

    I tried to print wireless today and got the error message that the printer was not connected to the internet.  I tried to go wrong, but it did not help.  I checked the connection to the wireless router and put the password in.  It has not yet recognized it.  I tried to disable printing for my smart phone (I think it is called), but the screen froze on the circle showing the progress.

    I tried to turn off the printer with the power button, but that no longer works.

    The Wi - Fi light just keeps blinking.

    How can I disable the printer may reset?  Or can you help get my printer to recognize my wireless again?

    Thank you.

    Hi Rhonda, there.

    I would suggest to unplug the power cord from the printer without turning it off with the switch, it will do a reset without getting rid of all the parameters. You simply leave unplugged for about 1-2 minutes to clear out any power.

    I recommend then reconnect, and doing as much as you can from the guide below:

    Printer keeps no connection Wi - Fi

    Good luck and let me know how it goes

    Since 2 days I have the satellite X 200-203 portable and my first problem is that the battery does not load.
    When I connect the power he works very well, but did I unplug the power replisse or the laptop turns off. under vista it shows me always a 89% battery power, ALWAYS.

    What can I do?
    at least, the satellite logo lights up red annymore.

    Thank you

    Hello

    According to your description, the battery provides the laptop with power.
    In my opinion there is problem with the battery itself or electronic supply on the motherboard.
    I think that it of a failure of battery, but to be 100% sure that the audit of the books is necessary!

    The X 200 is a new series of laptop so I'm 100% sure that the guarantee is valid. Am I wrong?

    If you shouldn't t waste time and contact the service provider authorized in your country.
    The guys of the explain your situation and ask for later handling.

    Good luck & congratulations guy ;)

  • Satellite A100 - turns off the power after 60 seconds

    After pressing the power button, the laptop starts but 60 seconds from the moment it is activated, the it turns off suddenly?

    The fan turns, I tried cutting dvd, wireless, modem, ram, hard drive, it opens and clean all the dust. It turns off after 60 seconds exactly every time

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    Ben

    Hello

    > and clean any dust
    How did you do that?
    Usually, you can use jet of compressed air to clean the laptop and remove the dust that blocks the fan. That is why it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop as you can read here:

    Hi Flair24,
     
    -Have you made changes on your computer before this problem started to happen?
    -Set the screen saver vacuum? If so, change the screen saver to another and check if this might be the cause of this problem.

  • iPhone 4S heating quickly, turn off the power and the battery drains quickly.

    Hello

    My problem is exactly the same as the title. My iPhone 4S warms up quickly, turn it off and after I turn the iPhone, the battery drains quickly and the iPhone will turn off after 5 minutes. iPhone turns off again and again until I put the iPhone on the charger. It is bad because I like to play games like Pokémon GO. But after 10 minutes of play, the iPhone starts heating (and of course delay).

    Things I've tried: (and didn't work)

    The apps I use no fence. (I close applications once I stop playing)

    Turn off location Services. (Enabled only when I'm with apps like GPS...)

    Reduce the brightness

    I will be grateful for any kind of help.

    Welcome to Apple Support communities, Krystof11cze.

    It seems that you encounter problems with your iPhone 4S on iOS 9.2.1 with heating, battery draining and stopping. Good job on the steps you tried as I would have recommended those as well. I will do my best to help!

    1. backup of your iOS device - because I have erase you your iPhone completely, it is strongly recommended that you will lose your data if you do not.

    2. restore your device to factory settings - using the settings on your iPhone will only erase your personal data. You will need to let iTunes erase the iOS version installed a new clean copy can take place.

    3 test the question - the first time through, set up your iPhone as a new iPhone when it asks. It's just temporary. You can connect to iTunes and App Store and iCloud and also download some of your applications. Test for problems you encounter. If your iPhone's battery life is improved, follow the next step.

    4. restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup

    Take care!
