  Thank you

  I came across the same issue last week. This is the background I and fix that made me backup for now.

  It seems that vmware provides their own libraries for some of what they need and that there may be a bad interaction between that and RHEL 5.4 libraries updated.

  The FIX:

  yum downgrade glibc glibc-common

  Delete it / come back about 22 packages/dependencies. Then I restarted and re - represented vmware-config and functions of each thing. Note You must change your configuration of yum update so that it is not pushing the new glibc glibc-common until this problem gets solved official.

  I can't tell you if it's possible at all to run PHEVS as a virtual machine. However, I am sure that you can do this with the current Core 2 CPU, because it is unfortunately not charge EPT (see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Page_Table)

• Red Hat GFS is supported for VMware?

  I was not able to find a definitive answer about this, then take the community to see if I'm right:

  Red Hat and VMware does support Red Hat Linux computers virtual running GFS? We have a set a production level Wordpress blog servers running RHEL 5 64-bit using physical storage shared RDM (100 GB) and when these virtual machines are under heavy load the GFS volume freaks out and drop-outs. We need to power cycle the VMs (pull on the plug) and start them upward for GFS rerun.

  I was not able to find that our facility is even supported even though it works technically. Anyone know? No official word from Red Hat or VMware on it?

  Thank you.

  The only grouping support supported by VMware is MSCS.

• RPM for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit)

  Hello!

  We have a new Pentecost ESX 3.5U3 inviroment. We want to manually install Vmware tools for our RHEL5/RHEL4 and now I wounder where you can get the number of laps for that and that we should use for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (32-bit)?

  /F

  I'm not sure about that if it is available separately... try this way on esx vmimages/tools-isoimages/linux.iso... Also in case if its not available then you can use VI to ride the same.

• Installation tools in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 64 - Bit vmware

  Hello

  I just want to install vmware tools in a VM for 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 a RPM.

  I don't want to install the kernel and CCG files, sort of compilation was released, unless I absolutely have to do.

  It is a small database server footprint. X - Window is not installed. Perl is installed.

  Here is the list of packages to choose from.

  http://packages.VMware.com/tools/ESX/5.1/rhel6/x86_64/index.html

  I read the Setup Guide for VMWare tools for OSSP documentation (specifically the table 2-7) and the package base looks like that's what I need, but I don't know which one to choose.

  Should which package I install?

  Thank you!

  Linux is not windows.  Libraries are necessary because these tools and programs were designed to use libraries that were not installed with the operating system.  The instructions are VERY specific, they give you a step by step to install, if the base packages are needed you can simply guess or assume are not necessary.

  FOLLOW the instructions, that is what they are there for, is not serious if YOU think they aren't necessary, they are required, if the instructions to install VMtools say that they are required.

• Red Hat and Virtual Machine

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine with Red Hat OS and let me know if there is any way to free ports automatically with the machine virtual vmware when I reboot it.

  I have ESX3.5 Update 2.

  Thank you and sorry for my bad English.

  Kind regards

  Elena.

  Hey Elena,

  I don't know what you mean by free ports, but I'm much running redhat rhel 4/5 on my host to esx 3.5 U4, and they run a lot. If you want to open ports on the comments of redhat, then just use the systemconfig about Linux shell utility to open the ports. You can also disable the iptables. Remember if the ports are blocked in the kernel of esx, which has no effect on the guest. I will recommend only open ports on the comments that you will need for your applications.

• How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200

  Hi all!

  I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
  Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!

  Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
  It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.

  So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
  I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available.

• VMware 5.1 with compatibility virtual RDM and Microsoft SQL Cluster mode

  Hello

  I am a bit confused by the VMWare documentation and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

  I want to know if it is possible and supported to create a cluster of SQL 2008 R2 2 nodes (Server 2008 R2 SP2 are VM) on a 2 node cluster VMWare 5.1 with the use of Virtual RDM compatibility?

  When you read the PDF on vsphere5.1 on the link below on page 9, there's a indicating note 'NOTE Clusters on multiple physical computers with no-pass-through RDM is supported only for Windows Server 2003 clusters. It is not supported for clustering with Windows Server 2008. »

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-51/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-51-Setup-MSCS.PDF

  So that means that I want "a 2-node cluster sql 2008 R2 server" is not supported?

  But I also found this link below and in the table of the column on the Cluster SQL line RDM is said 'yes' with a 2.

  VMware KB: Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: guidelines for supported configurations

  Means 2/redirects-> for more information on shared disk configurations, refer to the Disk Configurations section in this article.

  -> Disk configurations

  • RDM: Configuration using a shared Quorum for storage or data must be on Fiber Channel (FC) based on RDM (physical cluster across boxes "CAB" mode, virtual mode for cluster in a box "IPC") in vSphere 5.1 and previous versions. RDM on storage other than CF (iSCSI and FCoE) are supported only in vSphere 5.5. However, in earlier versions, FCoE is supported in very specific configurations. For more information, see Microsoft clustering solutions table above note 4 .

  What follow-up note4->

  1. In vSphere 5.5, native FCoE is supported. In vSphere 5.1 update 1 and 5.0 Update 3, two cluster configuration of the node with Cisco NAC (VIC-1240/1280) cards and driver version 1.5.0.8 is compatible with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit guest operating system. For more information, see the VMware hardware compatibility guide:
     • Cisco UCS VIC1240
     • Cisco UCS VIC1280

  This means that it is suuported, I "m confused.

  Hi Bypy,

  Two windows 2008 R2 SQL virtual cluster nodes with RDM is supported only for the IPC or Cluster In a Box that is to say if the two virtual machines reside on the same host ESXi. The same configuration is not supported for the cabin or Cluster across boxes (virtual machines running on different hosts ESXi).

  The CAB, you go for the physical RDM mode.

  According to this link, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1037959

  SQL Cluster using windows 2008 R2 is supported for both physical and virtual mode RDM. Between physical and virtual mode depends on whether you want the CAB or IPC respectively.

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• ORA-01017: OS authentication on Linux Red Hat 6.2 and Oracle 11 g 2

  Hello
  
  I try to rockers of authentication OS on Oracle installed 11.2.0.3 on a Red Hat Linux Server 6.2 and it just doesn't work. When I try to connect I always get the error ORA-01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused
  
  I put the following Oracle parameters:
  REMOTE_OS_AUTHENT = TRUE
  os_authent_prefix = OPS$
  
  and I created a linux 'oracle' user and the Oracle user "OPS$ oracle."
  
  I know that the setting of remote_os_authent in 11g is depricated but I thought that it should still work, just an error messages takes place so I start the database, but it works as usual, only the authentication of the BONE doesn't seem to work.
  
  Does anyone know where would be the problem?
  Oracle said that remote_os_authent is depricated because it's risky, I know, but my database is in a secure environment without any internet connection. What other way is there without using remote_os_authent?
  
  Thank you very much for your help.

• How to configure the private network interface between two VMS os invited using red hat linux

  Hello:

  I'm trying to set up a Real Application Cluster on my home office so that I can install Oracle 11 g RAC which is a facility where you have two servers accessing the same shared of storage (chipboard).

  In addition they will have a network interface private and a public network interface, so it will be for public interface eth0 and eth1 for interconnection of private networks.

  I read that I can set up using VMWare server, create Virtual Machines and install the operating system invited to them.

  I intend to install Red Hat Linux guest OS.

  My question is basically, how can I do for the establishment of the private network eth1, will be the guest OS to automatically install the sense (do I need to have 2 NIC cards for this), or where and how can this be configured?

  Also, how these two speeches of Virtual Machines to another on the private interconnect?

  And is it possible to use DHCP or do I need to add the IP addresses manually?

  Very grateful for your contribution to this topic, thank you.

  Kind regards

  Sam

  You can have network private without assigning a NIC cards (adapt).

  Hope this helps
