Help, please...
At this vMA 4.0 or 4.1 of vMA and you use ESX(I) 4.0 or 4.1? The script currently supports 4.0 only as it some major changes that currently breaks the script. Also the error tells me too that he is unable to identify targets for the table vi-fastpass... can you also run the following command and provides the output:

Relationship between memory of comments and the host memory usage
Hello
I noticed today that the memory usage of my cluster rose close to 90% in all of the blades. I checked and found that a number of virtual machines is everyone using over 3 GB of memory host. When I went in the performance monitor for each of these virtual machines, they used only a maximum of 400 MB.
How the memory usage of comments relate to the host memory usage, and how I can reduce the amount of memory used host so I do not have a performance hit through the cluster?
Running ESX 3.0.2, VC 2.0.2 Dell Poweredge servers with 2 processors 1.86 GHz quad core and 24 GB of RAM.
See you soon
Graeme

I looked for answers to this problem, and while some deal with similar aspects, none were completely relevant. Step by step, is what happened:
I downloaded Haali Matroska Splitter since the first result in Google, open the zipper and it ran, if I even got that far. Since that time I have been see two posts above, constantly. I turned the computer on and it persists as soon as it started. I can't access 'msconfig', or other programs that could help because apparently everything works through Windows Explorer. I'm currently looking 29 Admail without loading boxes "restart Windows" on the laptop in question, while writing this to another. Please help, as I am a complete no-hoper to a compliacted question. I would be grateful you're not assuming that I know anything about technique and describing all the solutions in a progressive manner. Thanks a lot people.
I used a system restore and everything seems OK. Wish I had known that earlier would have saved a lot of headaches.

Why my 8 Adobe has stopped working and I am unable to download the latest updates?
My 8 Adobe has stop working and now I am unable to open everything about Adobe. I tried to update to the latest cersion, but don't succeed.
The most recent version is Adobe reader X (10)
I do as suggested by Azam and uninstall the previous version. Have you tried a system restore to an earlier date and then tried to uninstall. If you click on "help" in the toolbar of the Adobe Reader there may be an option "repair Adobe installation".
You could also try to reinstall Reader 8 and try once again an uninstall.
If all else fails I try and install Reader X in any case if you have a corrupted version of the 8

Hello world
You can determine exactly what causes most of the problems by following the steps below:
Method 1: Put the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
Method 2: Clean boot
If the problem is not repeated in safe mode, there is probably a startup item or service is causing the problem. Follow the steps on the following link to locate the item or service responsible for the error:

Try this to see if you can connect.

(b) select an option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and press ENTER.
(c) when the boot menu appears again, and the words "Safe Mode" appear in blue at the bottom, select the installation that you want to start, and then press ENTER.Of in safe mode, type msconfig in the start in the start menu search box and press return. Then on the Startup tab, uncheck the box any reference to the verisign/authentec software. Then, go to the services tab, sort the columns by manufacturer, then uncheck all references to Verisign. Then click ok and restart in normal mode.
If please reply back and let us know if that helped to turn out to get rid of your error message.

my computer keeps stopping and restarting itself. I get the same messages of 2 error: host process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed and; Windows must now restart because the DCOM Server process Launcher service terminated unexpectely. How can I fix? I used the norton support, run analyses of many, nothing has helped.
None of the above works though... I didn't know by another forum to download Hitman 3.5 http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/home that he got rid of a virus that norton, Norton 360 and Malwarebytes antivirus support could not. I had no problem since :)

While the closure of the pc I got the message: "1 program still needs to be closed: (pending of) task host window's task to stop execution and stop tasks that are already running".but there is no program running and I have to force it to close.how to solve?
Hello
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.Windows, then closing, checks all open programs. If there is, it sends a request for the program to close and wait until the program closes safely, to avoid any loss of data. But, Windows is waiting for some specifiedIf you are sure that none of the programs are obviously open, you can try the following steps:Press Windows key + r, Type regedit and pres enter. If UAC prompts, click Yes. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> expand System-> expand CurrentControlSet-> click on command (exapnd no do this). When you click (or select) control, you can see WaitToKillServiceTimeout. Double-click it to change the value. Set the value to 500 or less than that. Click Ok, and then close the registry editor. Now, restart the PC. If the problem persists, stop and try again and check.Be careful with registry access as incorrect values or remove the unknown keys can prevent Windows to start and it will fix it.Response if the issue is not resolved. -
Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player
Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?
I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.
If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it. But it's pretty easy to do...

Hi all;
I'm new at VMAs, I put it in place and adds 5 Server esxi 4 and I can list the fines using vifp lists broadcast and works, very well but my problem is I want to interrogate the remote servers for this vMA host for example I need to check the contents of these files
cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat/etc/sysconfig/clock
tail/var/log/vmkernel
Discovered the following
esxcfg-firewall - q and esxcfg-vswif - l
Can someone please help me on how to run these commands or another way on how to get this information above hosts and ESXi 4. I checked the forum, but I don't see anything similair nature! now, either I'm stupid full because it's as simple as drinking water and so no one asked or I am just lucky to ask the right question, so be it, I appreciate your time and effort
Thanks in advance
Esxlinux
So its worth your time through the vMA documentation to understand how to manage your hosts and it's main use case. The operations that you are trying to accomplish cannot be done using vMA... at least in the way that you are hoping for.
See my vMA article and some of the getting started guides.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
You will want to use esxcfg-dns to list the configured DNS servers
cat/etc/sysconfig/clock
This file does not yet exist on ESXi, if you try to set the time on ESXi host, you should use NTP and it is also important to note that single ESXi uses UTC and no other options are available.
tail/var/log/vmkernel
If you need to display the host logs, consider using vi logger on vMA OR configure syslog on your host to send to the centralized syslog server
Regarding the last two commands, they do not apply to an ESXi host and therefore these commands are not available.
There are certainly differences between ESX and ESXi, understand the differences and orders to ask for certain pieces of information is very important. vMA can help with this, but you must understand the use case of vMA and what tools are at your disposal. The best way to start is to take a look at the documentation, to jump it and try to jump in, will just be confusing.
Good luck
