vCenter Server is a virtual machine, how can I update the host
I have 2 guests in our environment, I have updated the host of the 2nd, but may not know how to upgrade the 1 host because vcenter server runs as a virtual machine on it. This has me thinking that I don't have the installation program as best as possible.
Basically, we have 2 Guest boxes and a small box of DC. I don't really want to run vcenter on the dc area. What would be the best soltuong for our environment? Can I keep vcenter as a virtual machine? If Yes, how can I update the host it will run on?
Thanks in advance everyone... Chris
I was afraid of that say you that
Well in this case you may need to update the host manually (see for example http://communities.vmware.com/people/vmroyale/blog/2011/09/15/updating-esxi-5--single-use-esxcli-how-to) even with the need to manually update the host on which vCenter Server is running, I would always run as a virtual machine. There is usually not that many updates.

Cannot install VMware vCenter Server on a virtual machine
Hello world
I'm new to the forum. I try to install the vcenter server in a virtual machine.
Configuration of the VM: 10G VMDK, used 7G... 2G memory... guest operating system is win XP Pro.
When I run the Setup it says:
This installation package could not be opened!
I have attached a JPG of the error. Can someone please!
Kind regards.
64 bit is not supported as a host to vCenter operating system, see the compatibility guide posted above. I would try to mount the ISO using the client machine instead of starting from the ESX host, it could be that your DVD image is not good.

My plan for a new vSphere Essentials Plus 5.5 U2a installation is to have the vCenter Server on a virtual machine on the servers of the host on which is installed ESXi. However, all the installation instructions I found indicate the user to first install the vCenter Server. How can I get vCenter Server on a virtual machine on ESXi servers?
Thank you for your help.
Hi munkyman welcome to communities.
After you have installed your first ESXi host, open a browser and go to https://your-ESXi-ip-or-FQDN
You can download the vSphere Client here. It is a windows application that you can install on your desktop. It is often referred to as the "c# Client vSphere" in communities and blog posts, because it is a new implemented in the vCenter Server Web client.
But for the beginning, install the vSphere Windows Client. You can then launch it and connect directly to your ESXi host. Here you can create your first virtual machine, which can be the VM vCenter (installation of Windows or device, that is you).
You can use the web client or connect to the Server with the client c# vSphere vCenter VCenter runs.

Satellite L300D - 24 d how can I update the graphics driver?
Hello
How can I update the driver for my ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card. (Win Vista 32 bit)
I download and installed the new ATI Catalyst worms. 10.12.If I change my graphics card options, there is always the old driver installed... Worms. 22.04.08 8.479.0.0
Also, it is not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.Thanks for the help,
Fun1975
First, you must use the page to Toshiba display driver.
The use of other drivers can lead to highest GPU temperature and cause overheating.But if you want to use other drivers, you can do so at you own risk.
In order to install another driver, go to Device Manager, mark the graphics card, then press on uninstall button.
Then the driver should be uninstalled.After you restart the laptop, you can try to install the new version.
> It is also not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.
The internal screen for laptop supports 1280 x 800 high resolution. It is not possible to choose a higher value. -

How can I update the rubrics with WebServices?
How can I update the rubrics with WebServices?
/Anyone/ has some success with this?
It becomes important to our business objectives in order to solve the problems within the control elements.
I can't enter the number of line by line in order to uniquely identify it. How can I get that number, so I can send it with xml "update"?
A little nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Aaron.
You must use a field on the form as the one on the line items, NOT the line number that appears in the journal of the line item. If I understand correctly, the LineItemIdentifier can be any field on the form, even the short description. It is best if you know you will use web services to update the line items, you add a (potentially hidden) field to the form and fill that with unique values when positions are created. If you are working with existing elements of line, then you must choose a field that will be usually unique within a single record and hope, you don't have a lot of duplicates.

I export a DNG from Lightroom on my iMac (OSx 10.11.2) but the thumbnail in os x Finder still shows the unmodified image. How can I update the thumbnail?
Export to DNG will always export a unretouched photo non-modified. Your changes are in the XMP of DNG file as text, and most of the viewers of DNG files cannot interpret or use this text. So, it seems that when you export photos in DNG, Lightroom has done what it is supposed to do.

vCenter Server 4 as virtual machine by vSphere, ESX4 host
Hello
I would like to ask if anyone has tried to do.
I create a virtual machine to run my vCenter Server 4 under a new brand, vSphere, ESX4, armed with other VM.
My question is, can I use vCenter Server 4 and the same vSphere, ESX4 host where the vCenter Server 4 is be managed host? Is this possible.
I did this, but in the ESX and vcenter 4 installation guide his page 16 of the document makes it clear that: "the vCenter Server system is a physical machine or the virtual machine with access to a database taken in charge. The vCenter Server system must meet specific requirements. Also, make sure that the vSphere Client machines meet the hardware requirements. »
Here is the link to the document: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_esx_vc_installation_guide.pdf
But if you plan to do that you have to ensure three points (shown in this link: http://www.vladan.fr/three-main-reasons-to-run-virtual-center-server-as-a-virtual-machine/):
Disable DRS (level of automation of change!) for your VirtualCenter VM and make sure the document where the VirtualCenter Server (my suggestion would be the first area of ESX)
Enable HA for the VirtualCenter server and set the boot at high priority
Make sure the VirtualCenter server gets sufficient resources by defining actions
There is also another useful post that describes the advantages of the virtual centre running as a virtual machine:
