VCenter Converter - Question on the process

Thanks, I'm out here with you nice people, I am currently a migration old (but loyal and faithful) Windows Advanced Server 2000 to my ESXi server.

My question is what is happening during the conversion of the VCenter Converter running. I'm a convert about 100 GB of things. The estimated time of competition is about 17 hours.

There is a drive C: and D: drive drive E:. When I do this for a client, I wonder if there will be data loss. More precisely, suppose that a service is running on the C: collecting data. In my case, it's true. I have a product called Spamlion goes filters email before it goes to my Exchange Server.

Once the conversion of drive C: is complete and, I guess, the Spamlion service is restarted by the converter, not emails that come in this server * not * be copied onto the hard I create? More simply, if I had to save some .pdf on the C: drive after the C: drive has been converted would not these data * not * do more to the hard?

When I migrate a company of Small Business Server to server ESXi will be I have to stop incoming messages and access to the server during the conversion to avoid users to save data to the SBS until I bring the ESXi virtual machine?

Thank you very much!

Converter does NOT support the consintency restart or application services.

This case, you have to malleable.

The right way is stop all services before you start the conversion, and then start the virtual machine (reconfigure to fixed IP and remove the old drivers), then check if the services start again.

To convert an SBS or an AD domain controller you must stop the AD, so away 2003 or earlier, you must run in AD restore mode.

  • Questions about the process of cloning in Oracle Apps

    Hello..

    I'm trying to clone Oracle 11i (single node) Linux applications, but with some doubts in the process... could someone please help me...

    I ran preclone (adpreclone.pl) scripts on both layers of DB and APPL system source... then stop apps services and target the database copy in the system... but my question comes here... they say I should be copy only files of the SUMMITS as APPL_TOP, COMN_TOP, etc. and ORACLE_HOME, IAS_ORACLE_HOME... but these TOPS and HOUSES exist within a directory as...
    example:
    APPL_TOP - / dev/p01/oracle/devappl
    COMN_TOP - / devc/p01/oracle/devcomn
    ORACLE_HOME - /dev/p02/oracle/devdb/9.2.0
    by note metalink (230672.1), they say it's to copy...
    [APPL_TOP]
    [OA_HTML]
    [OA_JAVA]
    [OA_JRE_TOP]
    [COMMON_TOP] / util
    [COMMON_TOP] / clone
    [COMMON_TOP] / _pages (if this directory exists)
    [806 ORACLE_HOME]
    [iAS ORACLE_HOME]
    My question is should I be creating directories like (/ dev/p01/oracle/devappl) (/ dev/p01/oracle/devcomn) and copy the TOPS and HOMES in appropriate subdirectories or just simply copy... then run the process... postclone your ideas and suggestions are welcome... Thank you...

    your right... that's the real way, manually create the directories and copy them from the source to the target by the metalink (230672.1) note... but I'm worried that I might miss some files in the copy process... I mean are below here are the the only ones required in the process postclone... because if you see the real $ORACLE_HOME (/ dev/p02/oracle/pixdb/9.2.0) to the user oracle is missing... What about the database files? .. .is there all I could mention to facilitate the creation of directories...

    You can just copy the files in the directories devdata, lolo, devappl, devdb, devcomn.

    Also all by creating the directories in this way... If I'm going to use a new name for the instance, do I have to replace the "dev" to the new name as 'edev' or something and then start the postclone process...
    /dev/P02/Oracle/pixdb/9.2.0
    /dev/P01/Oracle/pixora/8.0.6
    / dev/p01/Oracle/pixora/IAS
    / dev/p01/Oracle/pixappl
    / dev/p01/Oracle/pixcomn

    You can use any name for the main mount (it is-to-say/u01 /... or/edev /..), just replace dev with edev for five above mentioned directories.

    Thank you

  • Question about the process() in Lession 1-2 method

    Lesson 1-2 contains the statement "String r = process (list, (x, y)-> x.length () - y.length ())", that I do not understand and cannot parse, even if I am a little familiar with lambda expressions. "  The method takes a list of String and a comparator, but the result is assigned to a unique string.  What result returned by this method?

    Looks like you are looking to slide 4 lesson 1-2.

    The example here does not say what the process() method, but one can imagine that she's going through all the items in the list and chooses the one that is the largest according to the provided comparer. This is similar to the Collections.max (Collection, comparator) method. Who is?

    Furthermore, there is a small error in the declaration of the process() method which could give a little trouble. The statement must have a parameter of type:

    static T process(List l, Comparator c)

    If you have problems, the analysis of the code, the line in the example is

    String r = process(list, (x, y) -> x.length() - y.length())

    In this case, the reference parameter is the lambda expression

    (x, y) -> x.length() - y.length()

    This has two parameters which, in this context, must be of type String. The Agency calculates the difference between the lengths, which is an int. Thus, the lambda takes two strings and returns an int. This corresponds to the comparator interface compare() method.

  • Questions regarding the process of implementing container/control. How "parent of filling" and how to get the actual size of the control?

    I'm writing some UI component custom waterfalls. I went if the document several times and still have two questions:

    1. is it possible to adjust the width of the control to fill the container parent without specifying the number hardcoded in pixel? I see many example of code uses '768' as hardcoded width.

    2. I understand that the 'preferred size' could be ignored in some cases. Is it possible that I can get the actual size of the control on the screen programmatically?

    3. is there any signal was issued when a control container/finish covering all of its child nodes? How do I know what size of a control is finally decided?

    Thank you

    mdodd wrote:

    (1) you can use (QML)

    horizontalAlignment: HorizontalAlignment.Fill
    

    or (C++)

    myControl->setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment::Fill);
    

    This will cause control occupy the entire width available to its parent. However, keep in mind you may have to use this property on all containers of parent to the node root to get the width of the full screen.

    Having never had to replace a HARD drive in a RAID 1 configuration on a PowerEdge 2950 Server (PERC 5 / i).

  • Can't access file system host (MAC) shared in VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client when wanting to create a VMware image (Windows 7 in Parallels virtual machine running on a MAC) for the option of machine Powered On.

    File HOST (Mac) system is currently shared in the Parallels virtual machine and is accessible through Windows Explorer and works correctly in the Virtual Machine environment, however, after installing vCenter Converter application on the Windows virtual machine these shared folders are not accessible from the conversion tool in the selection of the target destination of the file VMware (s). I can't select an existing folder on drive "C:" to write the image so that there is not enough space available for the VMware image and it must be written in a different file system, while the image is being created.

    Anyone know a way around it to show the target to write the image on the host (MAC OS) file system or is it a bug?

    Thanks for the reply.  It seems that the maps are not displayed if they were created as actions by the hosts.  When I created a mapping directly from Windows, then this mapping appeared and the conversion worked fine.

  • question on the smart card's mutual authentication process

    I have a question about the process to authenticate each other between the smart card and the host application.

    Basic knowledge
    As far as I understand, use of the host application the KMC to derive the static key, the value of the card and this set of keys, the host application creates the set of session keys. He uses this session defined key to check the cryptogram of the map and generate cryptogram of the host.

    Similar process is conducted by the card with the fact that static keys are stored in the vault of the smart card in the customization of the security field transmitter phase. It sends to the host application the cryptogram of the card.

    Framework
    I'm trying to review this process manually. I play the role of the host application and I have in hand the necessary cryptographic functions (Triple a) and Mac.

    Question
    I'm trying to calculate the MAC (cipher card) as described in section 5.4.1 of the CPS v1.1 (EMV card) but I can't receive the cryptogram of the card sent to me using the reference.
    Is there more than 1 function of MAC (in theory) and this MAC function varies from one card to another manufacturer?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    JDL

    There may be something in the API c# BouncyCastle (I don't do much dotnet so I have not tried) http://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/

    The MAC is relatively simple. There is a line where you encrypt a block of data at a time (as opposed to entire entry) and feed the result of an iteration in the next as the ICV (initial vector chaining). The original ICV value is 0x00 all.

  • Windows 2008 R2 VM disk system increased substantially after moving from VM to ESXi host 5.1 to 5.5 ESXi host using vCenter Converter Standalone

    Hello:

    I moved a Windows 2008 R2 VM from a 5.1 ESXi host to an ESXi host 5.5 using vCenter Converter Standalone.  The c: / drive system passed largely to where I now have to extend the volume.  Is this normal/expected behavior?  Perhaps the conversion/move creates temporary files I can delete?

    Thanks much for the ideas.

    This is not the expected behavior.

    Size of the disk is defined during the conversion and which will not increase by its own during conversion.

    Now, you need to V2V, if you want to reduce the volume.

  • vCenter Essentials 4 and vCenter Converter Plugin?

    We bought vSphere 4 Essentials Bundle with vCenter 4 Essentials for a client, have installed ESX, a Windows 2008 Server and vCenter on this server.  I'm not ready to test migrating from physical to virtual, but can't find the vCenter Converter plugin in the vSphere client.  I was on the phone with VMWare for 30 minutes this afternoon and they could not help me?

    So either vCenter Converter is not allowed with all (which would be a disappointment) OR I'm missing something.

    Does anyone have any ideas or advice?

  • VMware vcenter converter standalone physical conversion to virtual stuck to the completion of 81% for several days

    Hello everyone I have an interesting question, I'm physical conversion to virtual pointing to the new virtual directly on the server esx conversion would set schedule for a day. But now, it's just stuck at 81% and not go further! I don't get any errors of ideas? questions are there a basis that I can look to see what is happening? Is there a way I can fix it without start over again. There are enough resources on the destination esx I had to change the hard drive space for destination and ram, but done nothing radical imprint more small which I think should do better.

    It's an interesting case, you have here. I guess that conversion is complete, but somehow you do not see or a deadlock occurred.

    Anyway you will probably be able to export logs to the customer. Go to the directory of newspapers to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone\logs (for WP/W3K) or vCenter Converter Standalone\logs %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware (for Vista +) and find the log of the last worker (vmware-converter-worker - .log #). The status of the conversion is currently connected. Take a look, or that she has finished, is still running, is stuck.

    If he has you can try restarting the client and/or server converter service. Do not stop the worker service unless you are sure that there is no conversion running!

  • Question on the repair process.

    Its simple, just send the computer in the repair center. They will look in the computer for problems. Solve problems with the replacement of parts which went wrong, re - install the operating system and return the computer to you.

    It is therefore not swaping question with another computer. It will be the same computer that you will receive. On data, HP is very special. There is no need to worry about what the hard disk will be wiped.
