• What is the Total Lock Mode?

  Hi all;

  What are the differences between the lock Mode and the Total Lock Mode?

  Thank you

  Plaeas take a look at VSphere 6.0 Modes of locking which explains how to configure this on vSphere 6. For vSphere 5 see, for example, a vision of ESXi 5 locking Mode.

• Update of the hosts that have vCenter on them

  I have a vCenter with 2 hosts running ESXi v4. I want to install the updates, but to do this I need to stop the guest computers and go to maintenance mode. Well the 2 hosts run the sql server and the server vcenter, so when I have them stop I can't connect and so cannot be upgraded machines. I thought that there was a stand-alone product and that I could use to update servers or some update offline. My question is how can I update the ESXi servers if I have to close my vCenter and SQL server?

  Your question, I assume you have local storage only, shared storage to migrate the server vCenter Server from one host to another. In this case, you must manually edit the hosts. If you are using ESXi 4.0, you can use the "Host Update Utility" which is optionally installed with the vSphere Client. In the case of ESXi 4.1 you must use the vihostupdate command-line utility.

• How to make a shared variable, which is an update on the host channel?

  Hi all

  I'm relatively new to LabVIEW, so I apologize in advance.  I'm working on a vision for research application and I'm trying to convey an image of the smart camera target to the host.  I flattened the IMAQ image to a string and pass the string to a shared variable.  On the end of the host, I unflatten image and try to post to see if I don't really get the image data on the host.  However, it only displays the first image and after that the image is not updated.  In addition, the shared variable itself is not up-to-date.  I have a loop timed on the target and a loop of simulation on the host.  Help or direction would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  I thought about it and will post here just in case it might help someone else.  For some reason, the IMAQ flatten channel gives a format that did not like the unflatten of the chain.  When I have no flat chain, it didn't recognize it as an image.  Instead, I just used the generic flatten the string on the target and then block when I have not flattened image on the host computer, I had to only give the guy I got to report the allocation of memory IMAQ.  Maybe I'm just slow, but if this helps someone else, fine.  Thanks again.

• Start the host lock screen remote desktop session

  Is it possible to call the lock of a host machine screen remote desktop without interfering with any active session on this host?

  The host machine might have been locked by someone who just walked away from him or the host computer can be used remotely by its regular users.

  But despite this, I would use it to run a remote session to my regular machine.

  Hello

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  I understand you are trying to call the remote desktop of the lock of a host machine screen. I suggest you post your question on scientists on TechNet.

• Latency of PE T320 Hyper-V hosts that are set by the BIOS update to the host

  Twice now, I got the prompt Exchange 2010 on my W2K8 Standard Server with Hyper-V suddenly suffer a massive amount of latency and become virtually locked out of the blue.  After hours of troubleshooting, restart and research - as a last-ditch effort I noticed that the BIOS is outdated.  I update of the BIOS and then as magically everything works again.

  Anywhere from 2 to 4 months to go and rinse & repeat.

  I'm going out on a limb here, but I suspect that there is something about the system that gets flushed out during an update of the bios that is the cause of the problem, but I am at a loss to determine what is.  I want to avoid proactively with the server my client Exchange fail, but it goes against my better judgment to apply updates BIOS proactively.  We had the motherboard already toggled because of a bad DRAC, and the problem continues to be.

  I could use help to identify what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future.  TIA

  Well we have not seen the question back at all since we changed the system of "Performance per Watt" profile to 'Performance '.  I would start there first.  It is three months and none of our T320 do more.  We are sure, it's the 90 percent solution.

• I've never set up a master password for firefox. Somehow the browser locked mode, now and request a master password. How can I get it to unlock?

  There is no URL line, that anything can be taken.

  Also, I have reinstalled the program as well. No change. Always default to a request for a password THAT I HAVE EVER CREATED.

  Full disclosure: I reached to reconnect cable and pressed my chest against my keyboard while the computer was in mode 'sleep', with Firefox running in background. When I was in, the browser has been locked. I tried all the passwords I know and use. No luck. Following addy won't charge, even if the entry on the home page.

• Manager Update on the VMware host updated

  I have two VMware hosts with vCenterServer running in a virtual machine on a host.  Manager of update is loaded and it works very well.

  I would like to be updated (install patches) the host who has VCenterServer on this.  Technical support said that he could not tell me that it was OK to make a staging of the update with UpdateManager on the host.  My plan was to push updates on, then use vSphere client to manually restart the host that is home to the VCenterServer.  It makes sense that it would work, but the tech told me to create a second vCenterServer on the other host.  It's a lot of work.

  Anyone has successfully done what I was planning to do?  I look at UpdateManager patch the first host, it seems that Update Manager pushes updates to the host, and then goes into maintenance mode and restarts.  Why not push updates, then restart manually?

  Any other suggestions or ways to do from the console?

  You can update the hosts through command-line if you stop vcenter.

• Network variables shared to the host PC

  Hello world

  I need to send the results of a time operation real PC to PC host without affecting the determinism on the PC in real time.

  To do this, I have two periods loops, the two race 417 microseconds, but at different levels of priority. Who runs the algorithm on the PC in real-time is a priority of 1000 and the other loop that transfers just results from the PC to the host PC in real time is a priority of 100.

  I measured the worst time taken to perform my loop of high priority to be 150 microseconds. I have so much time to send the results to the host PC. (I want to results updated all 417 microseconds).

  I run the algorithm for 40 seconds on the PC in real time. But the values are updated on the host at the end of 40 seconds PC and not at each iteration of the loop I want.

  What was my mistake?

  Kind regards

  Prashant

  Thank you all for the responses.

  I found my mistake. I had wired a variable directly from the first loop timed for the second timed loop. This is the reason why the second loop was still waiting and never run. I used dummy shared variables to transfer data between the loops. Now, the loop works very well.

  Thanks again

• SDK API to use to check the status of the host after RebootHost_Task API perl for VMware

  I use the RebootHost_Task API, ping the server ESX to check if it is in place (using the Net::Ping module), then using ExitMaintenanceMode_Task to get out of the mode of maintenance for the ESX Server.

  I sometimes lack of InvalidHostConnectionState when I trigger ExitMaintenanceMode_Task. This is because even if the ESX host is to ping requests, the SOAP request has failed. What Vmware perl API SDK can be used to check the status of the host before triggering the aPI ExitMaintenanceMode_Task

  Probably the best way is to check the HostSystem runtime.connectionState.

  $host = Vim::find_entity_view (view_type-online 'HostSystem', properties-online ['name', 'runtime.connectionState'], filter => {-online $host_name 'name'});

  $connected = 0;

  until the ($connected) {}

  $host-> update_view_data();

  $connected = $host-> {'runtime.connectionState'};

  # Add a timeout here break

  }

  #.. .do something with newly restarted host

  I also used the runtime.bootTime in the past, where I waited for the value is longer than the previous string XSD time recorded before the restart request (with a long timeout to avoid problems).  It's better than the connectionState option since it manages the window between the restart request and the actual restart.  It * doesn't * updated until the host is connected again (and available to call you to leave the maintenanceMode).

  These values using works even when the host is not connected (cached by the vCenter API service), so you can wait for them to change (and in the case of connectionState, once again).  You'll just take into account the window of the application restart and real reboot before you start querying using connectionState.

  You can probably drop your logic of ping, so if encode you correctly around the State API variables for the host.

• How to upgrade vcenter host when the host needs to be in maintenance mode

  Hi, I have a host 5.5 with 3 VMs (2 production servers and 1 Server vcenter). Now I see for updating the host using vcenter Update Manager documentation is quite simple. The thing I don't understand until you can fix, the esx host must be in maintenance mode, which means no VMs, including the vcenter server, which is the only way you can do a right click on the host and choose restore. Now how can I fix if the server is in maintenance mode and my vcenter server is down?

  I have the vsphere client installed on my laptop, version 5.5, but him, I did not have the remediation option. How can I put my 5.5 esxi host?

  Thank you

  With only one host in place and vCenter Server as a virtual machine running on this host, you cannot use Update Manager. Your options are either interactively update the host using a CD or update patch / the host from the command line using esxcli.

• How to pass the host vcenter is installed on?

  We just bought a new server that came with ESXi 5.0. We want to upgrade to 5.1 before adding virtual machines. We have only a handful of VMware servers, so this is the first time that we used vcenter. We licensed Essentials and installed vcenter VM and installed Manager upgrade on a server that is separate from Windows.

  When I try to upgrade from the host, it fails. I guess it's because I'm trying to get the same host I'm trying to get to level?

  I think that you do not use shared storage as you could just vmotion vcenter

  and with your lic does storage vmotion

  you have to pass the vcenter to another host.

  You can move VMs from the vcenter through a move/copy to another host via a data store browser

  or

  connection to the host, vcenter for export to the FVO, turn off vcenter. Connect to host2, import ovf containing vcenter.

  still a pain...

  or you could do manual updates on the host.

  Anyway its not too easy to do...

• The host has not enough space on the boot partition to store the image upgrade. It takes a minimum of size_in_MB. After the release of space or perform an installation from the CD-ROM.

  Hi everyone, the difficulties in trying to update the Update Manager. ESX4.1 to ESXi5.0

  Error I get is below to correct the scan before update:

  The host has not enough space on the boot partition to store the image upgrade. A minimum of 299MB is necessary. After the release of space or perform an installation from the CD-ROM.

  There is enough space in the local disk

  Cannot continue installation due to the lack of space and don't have the option upgrade CD directly (of complicated issues)

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

  to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

  ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.

• update of the guest operating system

  All-

  I'm trying to find a good update for my environment management solution. The environment is greater than 95% virtualized, and I'm hoping to find a solution that will "push" updates for the hosts and virtual machines guests in a controlled manner. My thought process is the following: If Update Manager can make the OS updates comments (can it?) then I can use PowerShell script pushing updates to all my virtual machines (I can build in this way dependencies, aka, server must install updates and market back completely before Server B gets its updates). My questions are the following: Update Manager can guest OS updates? If Yes, then where can I find a detailed guide of PowerShell for Manager update which covers the update clients and guests?

  Hello and welcome to the Forums!

  You can use AUVS to guests and then use vCenter Protect for your guests and models

  As for vSphere5, MUV can is more the management of patches to your guests.
