USB key and high availability

I searched the forum for this but did not find the exact answer or maybe didn't have the right keywords to search for.  My basic question is: a virtual machine into a cluster HA auto will migrate if it has a USB thumb drive attached to it?

Detail: We have 2 guest of ESXI configured clustered HA with about 12 servers total.  One of the servers has a thumb drive attached that he daily back ups to.  I need to do an interview yesterday and was manually migrate the servers between hosts.  When I got to the machine with the USB key that I received a 'stop' message that basically said that I could not continue until I removed the USB.  No big deal when this migration manually, but it made me think about what will happen when / if there is a failure on one of the hosts and the migration is automatic being that it is a HA cluster.

Thanks in advance for the answer.

If a failure occurs that the machine will start on another host, even if you have a passthrough device attached to the virtual machine.

You can also enable vMotion support for the USB device, so you can migrate the virtual machine live.

Procedure

1

In the vSphere Client inventory, right-click the virtual machine and select change settings.

2

Click the Hardware tab, and click Add.

3

Select the USB device and click Next.

4

(Optional) Select Support vMotion when the device is connected.

5

If you do not want to migrate a virtual machine with the USB devices connected, deselect the option to Support vMotion.

    The iPad does not support USB keys. There are some wireless flash drives that can be used, but not the classical records. I suggest you transfer files to a computer and their synchronization then back to the iPad via iTunes.

  • Watch USB key and not the Sansa player

    When I plugged in my sansa e260 v1 to the computer for the first time, I think what he recognized as a sansa e260.  Well, I wanted to get rid of the files of stock on the player that I did the format process (Virgin sansa.fmt file).  Well I did, and now it seems that whenever I plug the sansa to the computer, the computer just shown as a USB key.  I can click on the drive and it shows all folders on the sansa and I can drag and drop files into the music folder and they seem to play ok, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced my problem.  When I moved on several MP3s (about 10), the player says 'written' for hours.  Now, I also placed on 1 song and disconnected the sansa when the computer showed that it has been copied but the sansa continued to show "writing".  Another question I have is can I installed rockbox.  When I try it says "disk access denied permission.  All of the above questions, I have the sansa player has been in MSC mode.  I had the most up-to-date firmwaree also when these issues were ongoing.  I have downgraded the firmware but didn't try something else without some advice.  I m running Windows vista.  I really like this player and hope, that I can get rid of these questions, and then I'll be totally satisfied.   Thank you for your time in advance.   I hope that I gave all the information that would be required.  If this isn't the case, I'll try to provide some other info someone may need.

    I called Sansa.  They accompanied me through the formatting through windows.  They could not tell me something, all being stuck in the writing mode if other say formatting it may fix this problem.  I wish they could just come out and say tehre is a bug and they do not have a fix for this.

    Yes, you will need two exchange server license, if you have less than 5 databases in exchange, you can opt for the standard edition of Exchange. However the operating system you will be required Enterprise edition, as it is necessary for the cluster configuration.

  • LR catalog on a dedicated USB key and on separate HARD drives of the photo

    I have Photoshop for PS6 until CS5 but am new to Lightroom 5.3 which I bought a license because of my camera Fuji X-Pro1 does not not in Camera Raw, level CS5.

    I watched movies tutorial (very good) Julieanne and I must say that my initial dislike of the catalog system has changed. In fact: I love and find a huge advantage, not in the last place because it will force finally organize me my photos. So I want to start a really good catalog from the start method.

    As you can install it with a single license Lightroom on a primary computer and a portable computer (same owner and used for travel) I've been musing on the following points:

    If I install a vacuum om a 16 GB USB key dedicated to the catalog and begin to organize my photos on an external HARD drive (I have a SSD in my self-assembled pc) from within lightroom and add news via a smaller HARD drive external travel
    I guess it could be the easier implementation for laptop and home computer. The Lightroom Catalog stick and the travel RFP will work very well with the laptop, and within LR, back home, I could easily move my new photos from the hard drive trip to grand.

    In the eye of expert-users, would be the disadvantages?
    I hope I have made myself clear...

    Erik, it's where you think wrong. Just, you can import your files/folders on site and arrange them how you want. What's different, is that now do you this in and with Lightroom, organization rather than the operating system. You can adapt and or change the structure/organization at any time for each new type you can come up with.

    It is also a valid point and something I'm musing all since my last entry. The problem with the LR is that with any other application, you can install it and start working, but LR wants that first know you exactly how you organize your files. You can just start using it. In fact, you * can * but then you miss the power of organizing capacity.

  • Access denied on USB keys and external

    Now, when I Plug one of them, it gives me a prompt message 'Access denied' and says something about a Security tab.  When I click on this message, there is no available security tab.  I have important things about the Lord as I do for my college work.

    Someone get to the right answer, please.

    In addition, I have games like my flight simulators that worked on another computer with Windows 7 Professional... and on this computer, they won't work.  Same operating system... different results.

  • I have Firefox Portable on a USB key and 'ordinary' Firefox on my PC. When I look for the versions of each both show 41.0.2. Is this correct?

    41.0.2 is the latest version of Firefox and Firefox Portable? This is what happens to everyone when I'm going on "about Firefox".
    I sometimes wonder if the Portable version doesn't rely on one that is on my PC since the USB drive is plugged into the PC.

    Both versions have the same version number 41.0.2.

  • The sad story of a broken usb key and data loss

    My daughter accidentally broke his USB stick in half (literally), not only the piece at the end.

    The stick had him a level work for English and photography on this issue and has not been saved to anywhere else... (yes I know)

    Last year she sustained upward, this year she does not, do not know why...

    The general opinion is that the stick is too damaged to recover the data and if we could (by sending to the company) would entail a very heavy cost.

    Is it possible to retrieve information in his computer? (Mac Book Pro 15 "mid-2010)

    Thank you.

    Hope this isn't a stupid question, but I'm just not enough knowledge to know whether it is the possibility.

    If she manually recorded on his computer or dragged and drip files then yes but if it was on the broken USB port it does not move to the host computer on its own.

  • My MacBook has two K'note 5.1.1 (1034) and 6.6.1 (2560). When I save a file of 5.1.1 or "export to 09' 6.6.1 for a USB key and opened it on my iMac with K 5.0.3 (791), the photos are fine but the text is garbled." Any help, please?

    These Keynote files have been created on an iMac with Keynote 5.0.3 some on the current machine. On trying to reopen now, after the transfer to the MacBook and back again (while resuming the current iMac to El Capitan for OS X 10.6.8), text in a title on each slide area opens properly, but text in other boxes, some with bulleted lists, has each character replaced with a small rectangular box containing the letter 'A '. with these boxes tightly overlap.

    More info: I found out that this problem only occurs with text in Helvetica Neue. If I select the truncated text and change the font, the text appears correctly in the new font. I tried to install a new copy of Helvetica Neue in the font book and turning off the old, but it makes no difference. Each copy of Helvetica Neue works perfectly fine in other applications. It is more and more a puzzle!

  • WLC 4404 and high availability

    If I have 2 WLC 4404 are supported 100 Access Points for one and I installed 110 Access Point, I can you decide when a WLC down who are the 10 Access Point which must lie down?

    Thanks for your help

    fcostalunga

    Let me understand your question.

    You have two WLC and can support 100 AP. You have 110 APs. If one of the WLC must go down, how you can configure or say which 10 AP will not be able to join?

    If this is your question, here are some solutions I can think.

    1. H-HARVEST. If you enable REAP H to your AP, when one or ALL of your WLCs must go down, the AP will be able to operate as if the WLC has increased. The exception-to-the-rule is to NOT reload the AP and it should be good.

    2. you can configure, CLI only, 100 AP s primary and secondary controller. 10 AP will no config, so they will go into "limbo".

    I hope this helps.
