• ATV 4 turn on automatically, and all connected equipment, for no apparent reason

  I have my 4 ATV implemented to control my overall TV/sound system. Works very well.

  However, this morning I woke up to find my TV system on. I think that the ATV may have done, because a similar problem was reported in MacInTouch a couple of months. Many thought that turn on AirPlay from anywhere in the home caused this. However, I thought it was fixed by a recent software update.

  Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, what do you have on this?

• How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7? It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

  How can I fix the "drag and drop" feature in Windows 7?  It used to work, but now does not work, for no apparent reason!

  What happens when you try?  Make sure you drag the icon image and not the text of the name.

  If it still doesn't work there are some registry changes that can try to alleviate the problem.  But because the changes to the registry are tedious and dangerous, I recommend to leave the system to repair it for you.  Here's how:
  1. Type of restore in the search box of the start menu to find and open to restore system files and settings from a restore point.
  2. Click Next, choose a date before the problem started, then click Next once more.

  • This process only takes around 2 minutes and only restores your system files/settings: it will not affect any of your files, documents, photos, emails, or anything else.
  If the system restore does not resolve the problem try this to replace missing or corrupted system files.  Here's how:
  1. Type cmd into the start menu search box, and then press Ctrl-Shift-Enter to launch as administrator.
  2. At the command prompt to start the File System Check, type sfc/scannow .

• For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

  For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

  You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

• IPv6 and AirPort Extreme Gen 5 connection drops

  My ISP is over native IPv6 but the AirPort Extreme (AE) abandons the connection every 30 minutes or more.

  I've tried different settings IPv6 and the only one that gave stable results is to:

  -Block all the incoming IPv6

  -Allow teredo and IPSec tunnels

  -IPv6 tunnel fashion game

  If IPv6 is set to native, airport utility shows the Internet connection disabled. So far with the tunnel mode, it seems to work. IPv6 - test.com results show 6to4 good feature as well.

  Someone else had problems with the products of the AE and IPv6 settings?

  He would have nothing to do with IPv6, but the problem was triggered by the latter.

  This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  And who is your Internet provider because your Setup sounds weird... it should not be necessary to the IPv6 block.

• Win7 gadgets (sidebar) slow and intensive CPU lately, for no apparent reason

  In recent days, all my Win7 Gadgets react very slowly; The Process Explorer and Task Manager indicate that SIDEBAR. EXE is to eat about 10% of the 8 Virtual cores (4 physical) of my CPU i7, one of the nuclei between 0 and 100% just for this process. Among the consequences: fast battery drain and the unnecessary fan noise.

  So far I have tested the following workaround solutions, without success:

  • Out all the gadgets / reload one by one
  • kill the process from the sidebar / restart the Panel gadgets
  • Restart the PC
  • run with Avira AV disabled
  • run without internet access
  • run without connected devices (wireless, USB, etc...)
  • remove the settings.ini and cache in %localappdata%\microsoft\Windows Sidebar (suggested in other threads on such responses)

  I have a few third-party gadgets, each of them has worked perfectly so far (and none have been updated these last time).

  I can't think of any change in my system lately (software, drivers, etc.), which could have caused this.

  Murder sidebar.exe immediately pushes the CPU counters to zero. As soon as I open the Panel of gadgets or load any of the built-in gadgets one or a third party, the problem starts.

  Win7/64 SP1 and Avira Antivirus are completely up to date.

  BIOS and drivers are up-to-date (precision M4700)

  Thanks for any advice.

  Gadgets have proved to be insecure long time. Should have uninstalled all the.

• Update for vsphere client and ESXi host, now getting errors

  Did a upgrade for my client vsphere, VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe file name

  Now I cannot view comments consoles, cannot add new guest OS (option is grayed out), and I get an error when the Client program starts (see first image)

  

  Here is the error when I try to view the console to the guest operating system. Can I use Remote Desktop connection to connect to the guest operating system (R2 for Windows Server 2012)

  

  Here is the version information

  

  Also improved the host system of the ESXi server to update to U1 using the VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 6.0.0.update01 - 3029758.x86_64.iso

  VMWare Tools never seems to complete the installation for the guest operating system.

  What can I do now?

  Client runs on a desktop computer Windows 7 Pro with 24 GB of RAM.

  ESXi is a server Dell Poweredge T110-2 with 32 GB of RAM

  I ran into the same issue and Re: VMware-viclient-all - 6.0.0 - 3016447.exe broke Console hosts 6.0 ESXi and ESXi 5.5 fixed it for me.

• esxi Network Setup 4 and esxi 5.5 the same

  Hello

  We have a customer with the following network configuration (see picture). They run ESXi and vCenter 4.0.

  We have added a new separate system with ESXi and vCenter 5.5 and to set up the network, the same.

  My question is this service console, I can't to be able to set this up, it's that are not part of ESXi 5.5?

  If you see the other image, I configured 2 one for management and one for vMotion VMkernel Port, they will be on the same network.

  Would that be correct?

  I don't mind not the network adapters are not connected again... and another thing must use active active alle 4 cards?

  Old configuration

  

  New configuration

  

  Since the release of vSphere 5, he didn't there no Service Console more... the management can be performed via VMkernel port with active management traffic.

  About vmnic design, my recommendation is:

  vSwitch0:

  For vMotion PortGroup - vmnic0 Active and standby vmnic3

  PortGroup management - vmnic3 Active and standby vmnic0

  vSwitch1:

  PortGroup for VMS - vmnic1 Active and active vmnic2

• Store of data sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5

  Hello

  I have a vSphere environment 4.1 with a vCenter and a cluster of 3 ESX 4.1 access to the content of data through fiberchanel (type scneario) warehouses.

  And now I need to install a new ESXi 5.x (cannot be a different version) in a separate environment, outside of the current vCenter, BUT to access the warehouses of data even as the cluster of vSphere 4 current.

  Anyone know if there should be no problem sharing between 4 ESX and ESXi 5 access to the same data storage?

  Thanks in advance

  As long as the FC zoning is configured properly, avoid all the problems.   ESXi 5 will be able to see the data created by ESX4 VMFS3 stores, it will not be able to create the same size of virtual machine he can on a 5 VMFS datastore.

• vMotion between hosts 4 ESXi and ESXi 5

  I have a group of ESXi 4.x hosts connected to a vCenter Server 4.1.  I have an another 5.1 vCenter Server Management 5.1 hosts.  I want to move my hosts ESXi 4.1 in my 5.1 vCenter Server and upgrade to 5.1.

  Since vCenter 5.1 can manage ESXi 4.x and 5.1 hosts in the same cluster (KB VMware: upgrading vCenter Server 5.1 recommended)

  Could I add my 4.x hosts to vCenter 5.1 and put them in maintenance mode one by one and then upgrade?  I'd be able to vmotion the VMs between my 4.x and ESXi hosts 5.1?

  The goal is to reduce or hopefully elimate downtime for virtual machines.

  Thank you!

  You can get the upgrade with no interruption of service, if you can:

  (a) connect the storage 4.1 hosts FC 5.1 guests, so it is shared by all hosts

  or

  (b) your license allows you to storage vMotion the VMS to storage of 5.1 hosts

  The normal steps would be:

  -Disconnect the 4.1 hosts the vCenter 4.1

  -Connect the 5.1 vCenter

  -connect storage 4.1 for the 5.1 hosts or Storage vMotion the VMs on

  -vMotion the VMs to 5.1 hosts

  -upgrade the 4.1 hosts

• Need a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter

  Hi all

  If someone can help me with a powercli script to create a new account a local administrator on all ESX and ESXi hosts in the vcenter, create a role called admin and give all access except the root. This shoulb be past by a virtual centre.

  Very much appreciated to help him.

  Kind regards

  I suspect that you posted your question to the wrong thread

  This requires only a minor change to the script above actually.

  Something like that

  $groupName = "group"$accountName = "user"$accountPswd = "password"$accountDescription = "A user"
  
  $esxlist = Get-VMHostforeach($esx in $esxlist){    Connect-VIServer -Server $esx -User root -Password "password"
  
      Try {      Get-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -Group -ErrorAction Stop | Out-Null    }    Catch {      New-VMHostAccount -Id $groupName -GroupAccount | Out-Null    }

• Command to get the name of VC, DC, Clu and ESXi to a VM

  Commanders:

  Am currently manages 8 VCs (vSphere 5) through vSphere clinet. So seeking a particular VM in all the VCs became horrible in this situation. Using PowerCLI to make this job easier. So I installed 5 PowerCLI and connected my VCs.

  I need a command line to search for a virtual machine, which returns the name of VC, Datacenter Name, name of Cluster and ESXi Hostname. I know it's a single line and very easy work for you guys to answer.

  Thanks in advance!

  Try something like that, is not the quickest, but it should give you all the values

  Get-VM MyVM |Select Name,@{N="ESX";E={$_.VMHost.Name}},  @{N="Cluster";E={Get-Cluster -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},  @{N="Datacenter";E={Get-Datacenter -VM $_ | Select -ExpandProperty Name}},  @{N="vCenter";E={$_.ExtensionData.Client.ServiceUrl.Split('/')[2]}}
  

• What is the interval of time between the virtual machine Linux and ESXi host synchronization?

  I have ESX5.0 with a centos6 installed on this linux virtual machine.

  After the installation of vmware for Linux virtual machine tools, I activated the time synchronization between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host through vmware-toolbox-cmd.

  I wonder what is the interval of time between the virtual machine linux and ESXi host synchronization? If I quickly time OS system, when the OS system time will sync back to the ESXi host?

  According to http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/Timekeeping-In-VirtualMachines.pdf:

  By default, the demon checks the guest only once per minute operating system clock.

  However, depending on whether the guest is behind or in front of the result is different. So, please read the section "periodic synchronization" (at least) in the document mentioned above.

• RAID 1 hardware and ESXi - host not to see the virtual volume

  Please bear with me as I try to explain this issue in detail.

  I have an ESXi server.  He has a number of virtual machines and works.  This server has a LSI RAID controller and had a single hard drive connected to this controller.  I'm allergic to non redundant drives, so I added a second drive and, from BIOS boot from the RAID controller (before initialization of the server itself), I created the mirror and had the controller 'rebuild' the second disc, copy of an image of the first record on.  The controller did and displays a virtual (in BIOS) volume in a RAID 1 volume consisting of two physical disks.

  At this point, I expect from any server OS to see the single volume.  However, ESXi, at startup, see both drives hard physical (apparently without taking into account the supposed configuration of the controller, which is strange for me), and because they contain all the two identical copies of the ESXi installation, it purple-screens to complain about two identical UUID.  When I work around this error with the start command line option 'overrideDuplicateImageDetection', ESXi starts on one of the two disks.  vSphere shows the two disks and physical disks, mounted in the system.

  I'm relatively certain that the RAID card maintains the mirror.  The second disc is not part of a data store.  I would prefer ESXi see the mirror as the only logical volume so-called offer the RAID card, but I'll settle for ESXi, ignoring the second unit of disk in total.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  H.

  Hello

  Some RAID controllers operating in RAID or RAID configuration. If no RAID is created, it will work like the generic SCSI cards and when a RAID is created then it will become an appropriate raid controllers. When you installed the ESXi map was probably operating in non RAID and later converted to a RAID controller mode. Please check the drivers loaded in the kernel of ESXi and if necessary, please include the RAID controller module and re build the boot image.

  Is it possible to give me the model number of the LSI RAID you use and the output of the inscription of the kernel module. I think that these dual-mode controllers were possible on older models of server, not sure that they are always available. I used to see this kind of problems with Linux in ancient times.
