• View upgrade 4.0 to 4.6 view best practices

  Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my view 4.0 environment to display 4.6 and reflected on the upgrade guide. Should I upgrade my environment vSphere 4.0 environment 4.1 last before tackling the upgrade of my view? If so, what can I say/use to justify the upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1? Best performance?  All the links for the upgrade of the display will be greatly appreciated and points awarded!

  Please follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide. They are fairly easy to follow.

  In short:

  1. upgrade the view connection server components

  2 upgrade View Composer

  3. improving the environment vSpehere

  4. upgrade the tools VMware and virtual hardware on all the virtual machines in parent, virtual machine
  models and virtual computers that host server view as the view connection server components
  instances.

  4. upgrade the components view Agent and his Client.

  Document your settings will be a good idea, so that your can recreate the problems them as appropriate.

  In the case of Linked Clone pools, agent on image upgraded Gold and recompose your pool with this picture gold.

• VMware recommended best practices timing

  Hello

  I think I know the different KB on the subject of the measurement of time, but I have a question.

  To synchronize the time of comments, it is best to use the vmware tools synchronization maybe o ntp/w32time?

  What is the best solution?

  A saludo/best regards,.

• View best practices 5.0

  I have following questions that I posted here for the questions that I'm not 100% sure. Please throw your knowledge here in the forum.

  • Pools configuration - what is the value with the disc "disposable" on a non-persistent view desktop? If the desktop view is not persistent & deleted each time is there any value to have a disposable disc? If there & the pagefile is there, is it advisable to assign level 1 for the disposable disc?
  • Persona Logging - when I get errors on the Office for the management of the Persona, where are the logs so I can investigate the matter? These are the logs that need to be configured in the group policy or local policy.
  • The page file - what's the verdict on virtual desktops with page files! There are some conflicting information where some argue less I/O do that no page file...

  Thank you

  1: the disposable disc is removed only when the machine is turned off.  If you leave your virtual machines all the time or refresh on logoff you probably will not see a big change with the disposable disk since they are intended to slow the growth of the clones.   They are also stored with the virtual machine, so you cannot assign tier 1 storage without putting the virtual machine on level 1.

  2 check for persona is configured in the same GPO allows you to activate the persona.    You can specify the location and debug level in this GPO.

  3: I leave mine it but some applications behavir strangely when there is no pagefile.

• Web Viewer: Best practices and Limitations

  The opportunity to share our publication online via a web viewer is an asset to have. However, I noticed some blockages in two folios, we have made available online: videos suddenly stop playing; slow scrolling pages are not completely accessible to see; interactivity does not work in different browsers. I wonder if there is any documentation or advice to ensure a smoother experience across all display options.

  Hello

  Thanks for the additional details. We look at the issues you reported and have a few comments.

  Here are a few quick notes for each of the elements.

  -Video suddenly stop playing.

  We had a new web viewer updated today, and this seems to have solved the problem with the video stopping on this article.

  http://ContentViewer.Adobe.com/s/Airman%20Magazine/c31b3f6bf51348f280a8bf8e57d33ee4/2013-0 6/7%20SUMMITS%20SIDEBAR.html

  In this article, there is a play button placed inside the OSM. ASM has been put to play as a slide show and the loop. It was originally an interaction with the video that caused it close. We have made some changes to the way video MSOs interact in this latest version, and that avoids this problem.

  Yet, in this case, apparently not necessary to use the DSO or even a button. For videos full screen like this, you can simply create the video overlay on the image of the button. With videos full screen, the area of overlay that you define behaves like a button "play" without you having to add explicitly one.

  -Scroll effect slow pages are not completely accessible for display

  We have also looked at this article and are able to reproduce the problem. As we develop a solution, we will work to get to a workaround to help you avoid this problem. We'll post here when we have some suggestions for you.

  -Interactivity does not work properly in different browsers

  We have experienced some problems with certain types of content in Internet Explorer. We are working on some improvements to help reduce these.

  I will address the two items that you referenced separately.

  -Multi-state objects does not properly

  There are some limitations with IE when it comes to the way it handles the interaction events. In this case, the layout of the content can be slightly adjusted to avoid this problem. I noticed that the positioning of several ESM is a little bit off.

  For example, the "VISUALS4" MSO is supposed to appear on the fourth page (index of the #3 page). However, if you look carefully at the InDesign file, you will see at the top of the OSM superimposed on the previous page of two pixels. As layering begins on the previous page, this is how it is rendered. Most modern browsers can handle this correctly, but it affects the stacking order in a way that causes a problem with IE.

  If you move all WHO the problem a few pixels to make sure that the upper part of the WHO is aligned with the top of the page, it should work properly in Internet Explorer.

  -Overlay of the play button has somehow to only changed the blue outline

  In reviewing the file folio for the article, it shows that the two States for the MSO play button use the same image.

  http://CDN-ContentViewer.Adobe.com/v/88e59469-94d0-4D3B-95cb-595c7d3a7944/7%20SUMMITS%20SI DEBAR/1/OverlayResources/InDesign_BNDLR_RSRC29936-633919858/Multi-state%2010_State%202_205 11_Content_L.png

  I don't know what the behavior planned for this MSO. It is configured as a slide-show mode that loops between the two States, once it is clicked. Because the OSM will be covered by the video full screen, which is the desired effect? Please explain what you want to achieve and we can provide suggestions.

  -No support for overlays

  On some browsers, including some versions of Internet Explorer, we support all interactive overlays. The screenshot you posted seems to be an overlay of imageSequence. This special overlay is not supported on some versions of Internet Explorer.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions or encounter other problems. We will do our utmost to help.

  Thank you

• VMware View best tips please

  I currently have a virtual PC which I use as the 'master PC virtual office' for our virtual desktop environment.

  I created 3 office pools (2 persistent and the other not persistent) who all use cold imageof this virtual machine.

  The number of VMS in each pool is quite small at the moment, but is expected to increase.

  I wonder if there is a limit to the number of office pools or desktop computers in each pool that can use the same image and also if it is advisable to have separate masters work stations for each pool?

  Thank you very much

  It depends on what you want.

  ID have a Build different gold for each thin with only the applications or shortcuts app environment in this image.

  Downside is more gold images update if there are changes.

  with a gold medal and several works of snapshots, but you have to look if updates are needed, what you do for multiple snapshots.

  with a gold medal and a snapshot I think works very well dependin on your host, storage and LAN speeds.  personally id stick to 50 max

  VCP, VTSP4, VSP4, MCSE, MCTS, IBMBCE and what I can learn.

• VMware has a guide of best practices for backup of VMware View & DR?

  How to properly protect a server with VMware View VMware vSphere running? Our RPO/RTO is ideally < 2 hrs?

  We have 100 customers and we use a roaming profile. TIA

  Hello

  Haven't seen specific guides. There are a few examples of 3rd party that might give you some ideas. VCenter Heartbeat also supports the component View Composer.

  Little old (2009), but interesting to read:

  http://www.EMC.com/collateral/software/technical-documentation/h6534-business-continuity-VMware-view-Celerra-VMware-SRM-blueprint.PDF

  Maybe the next version of view could address this? If you use roaming profiles, and then you just a way to replicate users DR and point to the DR View Pool, failover would take only a DNS change. Dealing with linked clones and persistent readers makes many tricker.

  I would consider the XP VM to throw objects, is the user customization, you need to reproduce for them in DR.

• Dell MD3620i connect to vmware - best practices

  Hello community,

  I bought a Dell MD3620i with 2 x ports Ethernet 10Gbase-T on each controller (2 x controllers).
  My vmware environment consists of 2 x ESXi hosts (each with 2ports x 1Gbase-T) and a HP Lefthand (also 1Gbase-T) storage. The switches I have are the Cisco3750 who have only 1Gbase-T Ethernet.
  I'll replace this HP storage with DELL storage.
  As I have never worked with stores of DELL, I need your help in answering my questions:

  1. What is the best practices to connect to vmware at the Dell MD3620i hosts?
  2. What is the process to create a LUN?
  3. can I create more LUNS on a single disk group? or is the best practice to create a LUN on a group?
  4. how to configure iSCSI 10GBase-T working on the 1 Gbit/s switch ports?
  5 is the best practice to connect the Dell MD3620i directly to vmware without switch hosts?
  6. the old iscsi on HP storage is in another network, I can do vmotion to move all the VMS in an iSCSI network to another, and then change the IP addresses iSCSI on vmware virtual machines uninterrupted hosts?
  7. can I combine the two iSCSI ports to an interface of 2 Gbps to conenct to the switch? I use two switches, so I want to connect each controller to each switch limit their interfaces to 2 Gbps. My Question is, would be controller switched to another controller if the Ethernet link is located on the switch? (in which case a single reboot switch)

  Tahnks in advanse!

  Basics of TCP/IP: a computer cannot connect to 2 different networks (isolated) (e.g. 2 directly attached the cables between the server and an iSCSI port SAN) who share the same subnet.

  The corruption of data is very likely if you share the same vlan for iSCSI, however, performance and overall reliability would be affected.

  With a MD3620i, here are some configuration scenarios using the factory default subnets (and for DAS configurations I have added 4 additional subnets):

  Single switch (not recommended because the switch becomes your single point of failure):

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110

  Server 2:

  All ports plug 1 switch (obviously).

  If you only want to use the 2 NICs for iSCSI, have new server 1 Server subnet 130 and 131 and the use of the server 2 132 and 133, 3 then uses 130 and 131. This distributes the load of the e/s between the ports of iSCSI on the SAN.

  Two switches (a VLAN for all iSCSI ports on this switch if):

  NOTE: Do NOT link switches together. This avoids problems that occur on a switch does not affect the other switch.

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> to switch 2

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> to switch 2

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> to switch 2

  Server 2:

  Same note on the use of only 2 cards per server for iSCSI. In this configuration each server will always use two switches so that a failure of the switch should not take down your server iSCSI connectivity.

  Quad switches (or 2 VLAN on each of the 2 switches above):

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> at 4 switch

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> at 4 switch

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> switch 3

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> at 4 switch

  Server 2:

  In this case using 2 NICs per server is the first server uses the first 2 switches and the second server uses the second series of switches.

  Join directly:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> server iSCSI NIC 1 (on an example of 192.168.130.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> server iSCSI NIC 2 (on an example of 192.168.131.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> server iSCSI NIC 3 (on an example of 192.168.132.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> server iSCSI NIC 4 (on an example of 192.168.133.110 IP)

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.134.102-> server iSCSI NIC 5 (on an example of 192.168.134.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.135.102-> server iSCSI NIC 6 (on an example of 192.168.135.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.136.102-> server iSCSI NIC 7 (on an example of 192.168.136.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.137.102-> server iSCSI NIC 8 (on an example of 192.168.137.110 IP)

  I left just 4 subnets controller 1 on the '102' IPs for more easy changing future.

• Best practices for designing a view in PlayBook

  Hello world

  I'm new to BlackBerry PlayBook development and I would like to know how to make a user interface appropriate for playbook, what would be the best practice to do and it will be helpful to me if someone can post sample code here

  Thanks in advance

  A few tips:

  * Views extend Sprite

  * Views should be resizable, IE have a setSize() method

  * views should 'PIN' children at some edges of the screen, from when they are resized it runs correctly.

  * a parent class must listen to the scene for Event.RESIZE and call of resizing on the view.

  * Use the component of QNX, set if possible

  * Implement native controls, like sliding down to the options

• Best practices for client internal connectivity with Horizon view 6

  Hi all

  I saw configuration with a server connection and security.  Internal clients connect directly on the connection to the authentication server, while the external clients through the Security server.  Recently, one of my friends and I had to discuss our configurations.  It has all of its traffic to the Security server.  Its installer seems to be supported by the latest diagrams in the view documentation 6.  What is the best practice?

  Thank you!

  I can certainly see how this diagram is confusing, but it is intended to show the internal clients through directly load balancing to servers connection. If you look at the architecture guide and white papers, they are all show internal clients without going through the security servers.

• What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

  What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

  Enjoying inputs.

  Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

  serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

  If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

• What is the best practice to merge both vMware vSphere environments?

  We recently bought another company that also manages vMware 4.

  They have a 4-node cluster and we have a 3 a node. Each is managed by its own vcentre.

  What would be the best practice to migrate all the guests and the hosts on the server main vCentre.

  Thank you

  Lance

  I choose one of the vCenters, unplug and remove hosts from the other and connect them to those elected. Configure the cluster after that (all in the same or keep the separation of the group, which I think is the best)

  You can also use related modes.

• Views - set at the database level or RPD?  Advantages/disadvantages/best practices

  General question about the use of points of view and OBIEE. I have a handful of views that I had to set for one reason or another within our mini - DW. Initially, I set all these level database and imported in my physical layer as I would a table.
  
  I know that OBIEE has the ability of views defined within the Phyiscal layer by specifying the SQL syntax with the VIEW type.
  
  I'm curious to know if anyone has any ideas on the manipulation of views one way or another? :
  
  -Do you prefer to define the points of view within the RPD to keep your logic in one place?
  -Are there performance benefits with the definition of the view in the database itself?
  -Are there any best practices known surrounding views with OBIEE management?
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  K

  Yes, this select statement is called view opaque. Opaque views can lead to performance problems. If your view is huge pulling data then do not create this view in the RPD.

  Kind regards
