Understand the Maintenance of Esxi and Standyby mode

Dear all,

I would like to understand about maintenance mode, for example, I have two hosts in a cluster and I need to update the firmware on A host. Now, before I do that I want to migrate the virtual machine to host B, then now host A is free. Now I can immediately turn off host A and start the procedure of firmware upgrade OR first of all I have to say for this host go into maintenance mode and then turn off?

Secondly, I would like to have a clear understanding of the standby mode? Can I put a host in standby for the firmware update or other maintenance activities?

Thank you

Yes, exactly.

When you click on enter the Maintenance Mode, the host is in maintenance mode right now, but just start this task. The host will enter maintenance mode once all virtual machines are moved.

  • With the help of ESXi and vCenter

    Hi all, I have some doubts on the use of ESXi and Virtual Center.

    Recently, we have set up 2 servers ESX with Virtual Center, all allowed in the Standard edition to have an available shared storage and HA.

    Our idea is to set up a new server with ESXi installed for testing purposes.

    Is possible to manage this server ESXi with our real VirtualCenter or we need a license? This particular server does NOT use shared storage or HA.

    Thanks for your help!

    Kind regards

    Diego

    Yes, you need a license for ESXi manage VirtualCenter. You can purchase the license to the Foundation. Please see the license attached (on page 3)

  • Understand the memory host memory and comments tab

    Hello everyone!

    In the computer virtual host memory resource assignment tab and the host cpu resources consumed in the physical machine (esxi host) and the memory of comments is close to the resources consumed to the virtual machines guests, correct?

    Thank you

    Sena.

    SENA,

    The memory of the host is the amount of memory host the VM uses against what has been allocated to it (including overhead).

    The way I understand it, the area of memory comments shows how memory is allocated to the guest - host memory, swap, share, etc..

    Check out this yellow post - Bricks.com for many more details on the parameters of memory in vCenter http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/12/20/vcenter-and-memory-metrics/

    Hope this helps,

  • What is the difference between standby and off mode?

    We would like to know what is the Stand of an ESX 4.0 host?

    Is there a difference whether it is in Stand By mode or he was arrested?  I guess the only difference is that an ESX host mode ensure can be started upward with VIC while the judgment cannot?

    Thank you

    Roughly, when the host is in standby mode, it is always in a power off State but you can power it on via WOL (Wake on LAN). The mainly usage case with this feature is integration with VMware DRS and VMware DPM (Distributed Power Management) which allows the cluster hosts to stop that are not actively used to save on power, once it detects a higher load, it will emit power up to guests who are in standby mode after the load.

    Here is an article shows you how to configure DPM to your hosts: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/configuring-distributed-power-management/

  • HP 15-r011dx noteboo9: no audio when with the second monitor attached and Extend mode, duplicate or second screen only

    When I attached a second monitor via a HDMI cable and try to use the duplicate, extend or second screen display modes only, I can get the video to view and run but I get no audio unless I put the laptop display settings to p / only mode.  I really want to use the second screen for PowerPoint/Presenter and play a video (with sound).  Even if I try to play a video on YouTube, I can't get audio only mode p / screen.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hello

    Please disable the HDMI to force audio to the laptop or use different such as VGA or DVI conection. To hell with its HDMI, please click right "speaker" icon > playback devices > right click and disable the HDMI sound.

  • Screen of the blackBerry Smartphone will not portrait in landscape mode when, in the pages of sms and message mode change

    I don't know if I've accidentally changed something, but all of a sudden I can not get the screen to switch from portrait to landscape mode when im in the pages of sms and message. I searched everywhere for an option that could keep me out of this point of view, but I have not found anything. Anyone know how to fix this? your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Make sure that you use the latest version of the OS that you can find (from any carrier.)

    You can probably get it to work again by removing the battery and reinsert.

  • U3014, the difference between CAL1 and CAL2 modes?

    In the preset mode color space for U3014 30 "monitor, what is the difference between CAL1 and CAL2? I tried both, but couldn't say a diff.  I know they are both precalibre mode that comes with the monitor.  Any info will be appreciated.

    course at 100%.

    Look, in these internal calibration of monitors's done it with a 3DLUT. The native range is greater than AdobeRGB (in red).
    Standard and modes Custom comes with native and native range WhitePoint (GBLED whitepoint, colder than D65 native), custom mode allows yo to set your desired white point.
    At the factory, 2 calibrations are stored in LUT3D and they are NOT editable by the users (but can be corrected by GPU):
    AdobeRGB: R, G & B coordinated (especially red coordinated), white point, and gamma of 2.2. 2nd is not very accurate.
    sRGB: R, G & B coordinated, white point gamma and sRGB. 2nd is not very accurate.

    AND as typical, monitor allows yo to store values of x LUT3D 2: CAL1 and CAL2 but it only works with the Dell Solution of Calibration color (DA), and DA only works them with i1DisplayPro.
    CAL1 and CAL2 are just "USER SLOTS" for the storage of LUT3D calibrations, nothing more.
    To the factory settings, they should behave in Standard mode.

  • Want to take the certification VCP6-VTC, but I finished the 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5

    Hello

    2 years ago I had the training for 5.5 ESXi and vCenter Server 5.5 - I wonder if that would satisfy the requirement and allows me to pass the exam VCP6-VTC?  Or should I stick with the VTC VCDP5 only?

    Have you taken after school.

    5.5 vSphere install, configure and manage.

    If so, please attend vSphere: what's new [5.5 to 6.0]

    It is a 2 day course that will allow you to take the exam VCP6-VTC.

    Otherwise, take VCP550 review and upgrade to VCP6-VTC in taking 2V0 - 621D.

  • Change the view hosts ESXi and Vcenter Ip addresses

    Hello

    Because of our new zoning, we need to change the IP addresses of all our guests view ESXi as well as our vCenter server View.  Is it still possible without altering the DB ADAM that uses the view?

    Thank you

    Mooge

    If your ESX hosts are added to vCenter by host name and your vCenter are added to the view by hostname that you should be able to make this change without affecting the view.

    If your vCenter is added by IP, then you will have problems.

    If your ESX hosts are added by the intellectual property so that you can use maintenance mode to migrate all the virtual machines on each host, remove from the inventory, then add it to the cluster using the new IP or host name. View should have no problem with what we don't reference the hosts by their host names in any sort of statically.

  • How to keep the values of opacity and blending Mode

    Hello!

    I work with reflections, shades and given that I do a lot of forms with the same color values, opacity, mixture of fashion, I wonder how can I do to keep them set up, so I don't have to go to each path, and change the values every time. The only value that remains is the color, but for example, the opacity changes each time I start a new shape with the pen tool, and as I said, I work with the shades for a portrait, so I have to do a lot of shapes with the same characteristics. Does anyone know a way to set these values and keep them 'by default' so to speak?

    Thanks in advance.

  • 2 versions of firefox and the maintenance service are listed in "Uninstall or change a program" after update

    I have updated to firefox from 15.0 to 15.0.1 using the dialogbox "About Firefox". under "Uninstall or change a program" in windows 7 x 64 I have now the two versions of firefox 15.0 and 15.0.1 registered as being installed.

    also, I had previously disabled the option "Use a background service to install updates" and uninstalled "Mozilla Maintenance Service". now the option of background service use has been reactivated and the "Service Maintenance of Mozilla's ' has been reinstalled. I really like how mozilla has zero respect for the fact that I don't want some unnecessary services installed on my computer, just so that I don't have to click on a UAC prompt once per month.

    I'll probably just uninstall the both firefox and the maintenance server and reinstall firefox. both versions are supposed to be there or is this a bug? and why reinstalled substantive service and the option is enabled when specifically, I uninstalled and disabled before?

    Edit: I just checked my other computers. 1 windows 7 x 64 with the maintenance service installed and the other xp with the maintenance Server uninstalled or disabled. two computers only list 15.0.1 as being installed and the maintenance department was not reinstalled on my xp computer.

    Just to let you know, the maintenance service is not running on your computer at all up to and update must be installed. It does not all resources and is perfectly fine to stay on your computer.

    As for the problem with two versions of Firefox, uninstall the other oldest (make sure not to remove your personal data) and see if the new version works.

  • Need to understand the basics of Oracle RAC and grid technology, for training

    I need to understand the infrastructure Oracle RAC and grid, a manager / training perspective.

    I see links here and here , so a few questions:

    -What is the fundamental difference from the layman's point of view (for example, a Manager)?

    -What training options are available for a generic 11g DBA to learn this new technology? I've seen this course from a partner of Oracle ("" courses: Oracle 11 g: RAC and Grid Infrastructure Administration accelerated Release 2 ""), to a boat load of money, during 5 days I think. So we are looking for something a bit more reasonable (and accessible), for example, books, online, etc.

    For a very basic definition, ACR is technology that is used by the database and IM is the infrastructure that makes the CAR work. In a response to the forum, this is probably all that can be said about the two. For a very long answer, you should read the links you cited.

    # 2, the course you are looking at is called accelerated because it combines two courses in one week training-RAC (4) and GI (3). So it's a day 7 curriculum that we would do in a 5 day course and who must justify its cost. But let me say, it's a really very good. But on the other side, it can be pretty intimidating to someone who does not already know these technologies. So I suggest that you send your team to each course individually and no doubt after doing some research. They can start to read the following books

    Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux

    https://www.mheducation.co.in/HTML/9781259004063.html

    And this link to doc,
