• Don't know which one to use, virtual server or ESXi

  I have a couple of Windows server running on IBM e series.  They do not work with heavy loads so I thought to bring together them.  I used Virtual Server 1 x front on my desk and loved so I thought to use it, but now that ESXi is available I want to understand if this is a better option.

  I know that ESXi will run the VM faster and uses fewer resources, but from what I read, it seems that it is not as easy to manage.  Everyone notes that the console is difficult to transition to?  Furthermore, what about backups?  For example, if I want to make a snapshot I can run and copy off in my NAS box, but it seems that you cannot directly access the VM ESXi files.  Is this correct?

  Thank you

  For example, if I want to make a snapshot I can run and copy off in my NAS box, but it seems that you cannot directly access the VM ESXi files. Is this correct?

  A snapshot is not a good method of backup, and this isn't how it should be used.  A snapshot preserves the State of a virtual machine that allows you to make changes and revert to a previous state if you need to.  Should not be considered as an alternative to long-term backup.  That's why you have to VCB.

  ESX 3i is very easy to manage, the hardest part is not console, so you can not do operations on the host easily, but you can copy files from ESX via the data store.  While ESX is more suited for very large like VM 15 guests or more, and if you are not running a very high load and not many VM VM Server will work fine.  There isn't really a difference in performance between any virtualization product until you start to reach the breaking point.  ESX can accommodate dozens of virtual machines on a computer, is there that ESX is really profitable (and I know that ESX 3i is free) but pound for pound can match VM Ware ESX Server 3i for small host environments, and given that it's windows it does not have a lot to manage.

• What is the maximum size of virtual disk in machines virtual esxi 4.0

  I am trying to create a virtual disk to a virtual machine, I want to make the size of the 300 GB disk but its not allowing to create.

  Can I know what is the maximum size of virtual disk, we can create in machines virtual esxi 4.0 with vmfs3 partition

  
  

  The maximum size of the virtual disk that you can use depends on the size of the selected block when formatting of the data store. With the default of 1 MB block size, the maximum size of virtual disk on a VMFS-3 datastore is ~ 256MB.

• Virtual ESXi / nested virtualization and VCA

  Hi all

  We tried to install some new virtual ESXi servers in our dev environment. to help our R & D.

  The problem is that our clusters must be activated EVC - Merom Genesis so that R & D for work stuff.

  I tried to use the following two articles:

  http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2011/07/how-to-enable-support-for-nested-64bit.html

  http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2012/02/how-to-configure-nested-ESXi-5-to.html

  After finishing the first link, the ESXi virtual is able to run 64-bit virtual machines. So all is well (although I stumbled upon both problems with this - apparently, you can't physical host the virtual ESX running in a CVS in the first place of accommodation).

  So after the ESXi virtual is able to run machines virtual 64-bit, I continue to the 2nd link and it doesn't work. I do exactly what the guy said there is still the virtual ESXi is not compatible with the EVC cluster and the 64 bit hosted on the virtual ESXi VM cannot run after changes to the CPUID mask.

  Someone knows something similar? Someone has ideas of what I'm doing wrong or can give me some ideas on what to do?

  Thanks in advance,

  Nitzan.

  In my view, the following option:

  CPUID.1.ECX = 00000000000000001010001000011001

  should be

  CPUID.1.ECX = 00000000000000001010001000111001

• No reason not to use Virtual PC to work around inconsistency of program?

  I just bought a $29 printer instead of spending $45 to replace the No. 23 of my DeskJet HP ink cartridge.  Unfortunately, I forgot to check for compatibility and have not been able to find a way to share with Windows 98SE.

  I tried to upgrade my old copy of the print shop to Vista, but the Compatibility Assistant told me it was a known incompatibility.

  On a whim, I booted up my copy of Virtual PC with Windows XP and was able to install and run it without problem. THERE is a driver available for the printer and had XP no harm to use as a shared printer.

  Is there a reason not to use Virtual PC to work around incompatibility with Vista? I know that it is not suitable for the games because of limited capacity, but what about productivity as The Print Shop Deluxe 5.0 programs?

  P.S. Can someone suggest a way to share a HP DeskJet 1000 with Windows 98SE? I saw a reference to another printer that has 98 drivers called a Deskjet 1000cse, but according to the website of HP, this is another printer that is no longer supported. Any chance I can use drivers 95/98 for CSE to connect to a share of Vista? If so, how do I configure it? If these drivers are like drivers for my DeskJet 812C, the option "have disk" will NOT work in the list, the installer will put things for a local printer rather than on a network, an and I do not remember that it is also easy to change the port to a network printer, you can with XP and Vista.

  Is there a reason not to use Virtual PC to work around incompatibility with Vista? I know that it is not suitable for the games because of limited capacity, but what about productivity as The Print Shop Deluxe 5.0 programs?

  As long as it works, it's a great idea.

• In Esxi ESXi: MKS to VM on virtualized ESXI does not work

  Hello

  I hope someone could help me with the question below.

  I am unable to open the connection of MKS of VM - 10 to VM(Gold-VM) located on the nested ESXi (Esxi55-5) host. Webpage keeps loading MKS for gold - VM, but it does not display anything.

  DNSServer, VM-10, VCSA, ESXi55-5 are connected to the same SSswitch - VM Port Group(Promiscuous Mode), subnet

  Gold - VM... Virtual computer located on nested ESXi host

  VM-10... Computer virtual located on the physical host of ESXi, where I am trying to open the connection of MKS to gold - VM

  VCSA... vcenter server located on physical host IP ESXi (192.168.1.3)

  ESXi55-5... Virtualized Esxi host connected to the server vcenter VCSA

  DNSserver... facilitating the DNS service

  Newspapers from virtualized host Esxi55-5:

  

  VM - 10 newspapers:

  

  with MKS Web page:

  

  I just found out what was the reason that connection MKS display a blank page in the browser Web IE11.

  The solution was very simple: add local.domain to the Compatibility Mode in browser IE11.

• Problems installing CFB when using virtual hosts

  I am new to SFBC and fight to get configured to work with virtual hosts on my local development server.

  Here is the configuration;

  • Windows XP
  • Apache 2.2 (using virtual hosts)
  • CF 11
  • RDS enabled
  • CF Builder 3

  I can get the BFC works with RDS, debugging, etc. When I turn off the virtual hosts. However, whenever I try to use it with virtual hosts can't RDS and debugging to work.

  Here are the screenshots of my configuration of server CFB.

  

  

  

  

• Virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address

  My virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address on a DHCP network. I created it on my physical host with a physical NIC.

  Both its E1000 vNIC is networked with virtually the same Vswitch as the physical host, I created a second Service Console on this vswitch for the ESXi host virtualized, what I need to change the IP of virtual servers to match the newly created Service Console?

  I found a guide on changing the IP address of the vswif on the virtual host, I'm going in the right direction?

  If you run ESXi on ESX (i) then you must enable the mode promicuous on the VM host vSwitch portgroup.

• How will I know if I use virtual hosts in my local test environment?

  I appreciate the help I get here, I don't really have. However, when I get answers in the form of questions that assume that I know what this person is talking about, I see nothing but more frustration.
  
  How do I know if I am using virtual hosts?
  
  What is a "root link"? Where would I look for, find or verify this?
  
  Once again, I installed Apache, MySQL and PHP and had initially set up a successful local test environment that worked very well for a short period of time.
  
  One day, something happened and when I make an effort to test a page while using DW8, I get this error in Firefox3:
  The URL requested / .php [filename] could not be found on this server.
  
  In other cases, I get:
  "Sorry, unavailable database"
  
  I so got the crazy idea to open pages in Firefox by double-clicking them in Windows Explorer and select Firefox from the menu "open with."
  
  Different result.
  
  This time, the pages open, without errors, but none of the content appears. As if she opens the pages, but the database is not responding.
  
  Look, I'm over my head, I know that. But I'VE learned until it happened. This has me completely obstructionisme and what I need is some advice clear and useful. I have NO IDEA where else to turn. The development of my site is to a sudden stop.
  
  Y at - it a setting I might have screwed up in DW8?
  
  Is there a MySQL configuration file that I need to check? If so, with what program?
  
  I'm desperate. If there is no help here, please let me know where I could get help.
  
  Thank you.

• Use virtual servers to ESX 3.5 in ESXi 5.0

  Hello everyone

  First of all, sorry for my bad English. It is not my language.

  So, I have a question. For the moment, let's have an ESX 3.5 Server 2 virtual servers. (Windows Server 2003)

  Now, we want to improve our ESX 3.5 to 5.0 ESXi. We bought a new server on which we want to run ESXi 5.0. So is it possible to simply copy these virtual machines in ESX 3.5 to 5.0 ESXi? (Updated the vmTools) Or I need to reinstall all of these machines?

  Best regards

  Dominik

  Welcome to the community...

  The new host (ESXi 5.0) is going to be autonomous? If so, you can use Vmware Converter to import the virtual machine to the new host ESXi 5.0

  If you have the shared storage and assign to 5.0 ESXi host, you can remvoe the virtual of ESX 3.5 machine and it add new virtual host, VMtools upgrade equipment, etc...

  You need to remove hidden devices that you are moving to new hardware.

• Use virtual of ESX 3.5 machines in ESXi 5.0

  Hello

  I have a question. I need to spend our virtual ESX 3.5 machines a ESXi 5.0. So, I need to update the virtual hardware and the right vmTools?

  And to do this, I need to install the VMware Update Manager. But how to install this program? Do I need to configure a new server vCenter Server?

  Or is there another way?

  Thank you for your help.

  Best regards

  Dominik

  You upgrade to ESXi 5.0 on the same hardware or new?

  You have vCenter already in place or running a stand-alone host?

  For the upgrade of VMware Tools and hardware Virtua VUM is not required. Once the virtual machine is running on the host ESXi 5.0, it can be done on VM separately

  Refer to KB for the upgrade virtual hardware and Vmware tools

• Difference between the workstation and the machines virtual ESXi?

  Apart from convert vmdk of thin thickness oversupply, what exactly does the download feature in WS 8 and later versions do, vs, simply by making a copy + paste of the virtual machine to the machine running Workstation in the ESXi data store?

  Besides, why Upload even converts vmdk of thin thickness providing? You can create native thin disks configured in ESXi is not as if ESXi does not support the feature...

  VMware Workstation is not (cannot) use a provisioning. The hard format is a fragmented file format that contains metadata about the blocks of data used in the file itself. This format is not supported with ESXi, and this is why it must be converted.

• Resources used by ESXi 5

  When you plan how to set up virtual machines for ESXi 5, you have to book specific resources for ESXi itself?

  For example, a host of 12 core consists of 8 cores for a VM database and 4 cores for a VM or ESXi application requires 2 of these nuclei for itself effective. Suppose that these virtual machines will run pretty hot.

  Documentation indicates that ESXi requires minimum 2 hearts and about 2 GB of RAM (depending on the #VMs), but it means to predict (#cores - 2).

  Not exactly.  ESXi is not a type of virtualization solution area.  vCPU are scheduled on a physical processor based on priority/share for a unit of time.  You actually have time to decide your CPU, you're not segmenting their or removing them and dividing them to your virtual machines.

  When you assign a vCPU virtual machine, you are him giving a thread of execution against a Jepp.

  The host runs this time.

  You need to the account that you will need processing power for a host, but it does not amount to a full 2 hearts, especially when you load the host with a large NUMBER of machines.

  For example, I have a host with 32 cores and 256 GB of RAM, running at 20 percent with 37 vm and about 70 vCPU configured using.
