VSA configuration and storage before installation of VSA on ESXi

Is someone can you please remind me how storage should be configured on ESXi until I'll start building VSA?

VSA is use the local storage of the ESXi hosts.  Should I use local data warehouses already formatted vmfs or raw devices (volumes) and formats?

Is it true, that, before the installation of VSA, you can no more data VMFS (local) 1 store? If so, this means that VSA will use (use) all available space on the Local data store on the left after installing ESXi (if I'm installing ESXi on local DS as well)?

Thank you very much!

VSA manager uses the data store local vmfs to create VSA data warehouses. During the creation of the VSA cluster, you can specify the size of the VSA data store. For example if you have the local data store of 500 GB, you can build cluster VSA using 100 GB of space, so you can have several virtual machines on VSA datastore and a few virtual machines on the local data store. There is an option to extend the VSA data store after creation.

    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.

  • ESXi installation process and storage CF

    Hi all

    It's been a while since I worked with the CF based storage so forgive me if this is a silly question!

    I remember at the time of ESX 3.5 when a host is created, it is strongly recommended that you unplug your HBA as the installer ESX 3.5 was inclined to wipe your FC LUNS during installation.

    Is this always the case? If I add a bright new ESX5.1 host in a cluster existing I have to disconnect from the connected FC SAN for the generation?

    Thank you

    Chris

    No, during the installation of ESXi, it scans all the storage controller and storage/LUN connected to the server. Setup ESXi offer screen user input to select the storage that you want to install ESXi and installation takes place on the selected disk.

    If you are using a scripted installation, make sure that mention you the right VMHBA device in the KS file and remove the firstdisk option. For even if the device driver of the CF charged first by ESXi, KS file controller resumes the VMHBA right for installation.

  • New installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, computer loops and again: "the installation program prepares your computer for first use.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on my Toshiba Tecra A4-S211 and provided that the installation went, it seemed that took place without incident; except that when I try to start windows I see: "Starting windows" followed by "Setup prepares your computer for first use" that is displayed for about 3-5 seconds and then it restarts and displays abruptly: "cannot start Windows.

Finally, I tried the repair function on the installation disc and says am Startup Repair is unable to repair the computer automatically, where then I click to send information to Microsoft to be told that if I had all the devices attached like a camera or portable music player to remove them and restart. I have nothing set, no flash player or anything.
    I tried to do all the steps above a dozen times each, and the results are consistent, except that the start of repair is sometimes said that there is nothing wrong with windows. Here also to point out that I had XP running on it before without problem and I tested the DVD on another computer and it worked.

    Hi Austin,.

    You can try some of them in Mode safe - tap F8 repeatedly that you start.

    If you do not have a Windows 7 disc, you can borrow a friends because they are not a copy
    protected. The manufacturer of your system will also sell the physical DVD cheap since you already
    Clean Windows. You can also do an ERD on another computer.

    Try the Startup Repair - (if at anytime, benefit you from some, but not full access coming to Windows
    return and then try to startup repair.)

  • Problem with Workstation 9, Windows 8 and storage spaces

    Hello

    I have currently a strange problem with VMWare Workstation 9 running on Windows 8, when my VMs are hosted on a configuration of storage like a mirror. My Windows VMs work very well, but all my virtual machines to Linux seem to get corrupted after a cycle start and stop a success. When I try to restart, they bomb on me on what seems to be the alteration of the disc. I have attached a filed faulty start of RHEL 6 x 64 for reference.

    Any ideas what may be the cause? In my view, it can be linked to as storage spaces when to take a clean copy of the virtual machine (before it was corrupted) on move on a disk that uses no storage spaces everything works fine.

    What puzzles me is why not Linux virtual machines VMs Windows affect go bad after the start cycle...

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,

    François.

  • I want to know the requirements that must be given to the team of storage before you create a lun

    I want to know the requirements that must be given to the team of storage before asking a LUN

    Generally the responsibility of a team of storage is to provide space for guests and make sure they can meet the space and I/O requirements. creating a virtual machine is usually done by the administration of VMware.

    Basic information the storage team is the needs of WWN (in the case of FC storage) or IP addresses and s iqn (in the case of iSCSI) to set up the hosts. In addition to this the high need know that it is a VMware environment. According to the storage systems, hosts must be defined with the appropriate operating system that uses the LUN. Once the hosts are configured, all you have to do is to tell the storage team what LUN size you need, who is hosting the LUN must be submitted and probably the input/output expected for the VM running on this LUN, so that they can make the decision for example RAID levels a hierarchy...

  • 13 and 14 Firefox installs incorrectly on my windows 7 starter edition. Also, I can not the Scrapbook addon to work. Can you tell me why?

    I tried to install Firefox 13 and 14 on my netbook, a starter for Windows 7 operating system running. The installation starts to go smoothly since the file setup.exe; but after the installation appears to be complete, and I press the button "Open Firefox" program of firefox can be seen to start opening because it accumulates approximately 50 MB of private bytes RAM on the windows task manager or the service program of "process explorer" from sysinternals. However, the firefox window never opens and so firefox does not appear to be installed properly. "" Also I had problems with getting the album ' addon to install properly. " I have another computer, a laptop, XP family and I can get Firefox to 13 or 14 to install but it is on the other computer that I can't get the 'Scrapook' addon to install correctly. There is no notice on the Addon page saying the addon "Scrapbook" does not work on Firefox 13 or 14 and the addon installs, but not properly, so it does not work.

    I have old files Firefox setup.exe, and if I'm successful to install an older version, firefox 3 or 4 on an external hard drive. I got this old firefox to work on XP Home Edition on a hard drive external laptop and can successfully use the addon "Scrapbook" in this way.

    I don't understand why I have problems with Firefox 13 or 14. I think I first noticed the problem with Firefox 12 "Scrapbook".

    Thank you marcsances for your reply very comprehensive. Your advice jogging my memory, so before I have done as you suggest, I reinstalled Firefox 14 and then uninstalled using the windows 7 program/control panel uninstall installation. In doing so, the Firefox uninstall window opens and when asked to choose to uninstall any program or all personal settings etc. too, choose to uninstall all personal settings too. I then reinstalled Firefox 14 and the Scrapbook addon and they now work correctly.

    I daresay that your instructions are quite right, in this case, I don't have to go through the command prompt.

    Thank you.

  • Error and warning before and after the POST - Satellite M40X 129

    Hello

    I use a Satellite M40X-129, bought in 2005.
    After you have reinstalled Windows and all the necessary drivers (after more than 3 years, which was the longest time I used a windows ;-)) installation this afternoon, I meet the following situation when starting):

    (... check and all the stuff of ram...)
    Updated System Configuration data
    ERROR
    0271: check date and time
    WARNING
    0251: System CMOS checksum bad - default configuration used
    Press to resume, installation

    When I press F1 to resume, windows starts very well as I'm used to it.
    I can also access the configuration and need to update the time setting.

    Two scenarios:
    (a) the startup, shutdown, reboot: error message happen
    (b) setting the time, out of the bios with save the configuration, boot, very well until the stop/restart is required

    I tried to download the update of the bios to v1.60, but the configuration tool told me that this version is already in use and it will not progress.

    What I wondered: why is it happening? I don't think that the battery power is low, which was suggested to others in other threads, because it happened just after I installed the chipset/utils and other drivers from the toshiba download page.

    What can I do?

    -Bios update? -> Where can I find a new version? A tool (which I downloaded from a site linked to Phoenix Technologies) told me, there is an update for my Bios, but he wants me to join a subscription $29.99 / year

    -Swap CMOS battery? -> how remove m40x-129, tutorials? Don't want no f * ck it upwards...

    any other advice?

    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards

    Hello

    I think that the CMOS battery may be empty and therefore both a given in the BIOS is always changing the default value.

    Usually, you should be able to recharge this battery CMOS very easily.
    The user manual describes how to load this. Take a look at your manual

    As I m not wrong not the laptop must be ON and running and must be connected to the mains for more than 20hours.
    Then, the notebooks BIOS battery needs to be recharged again.

    Check it out!

  • Tecra S3 - blue screen after first before installation

    I bought a new Tecra S3 and is the first time installation with recovery DVDs before installation and the system will reboot and crash blue screen first boot.

    I returned to the dealer and change an another Tecra S3 so same problem continues...

    I can't finish first installation... I think that the problem of raid driver. But the restore CD restore with ghost image.

    How can I install first?

    Erkan GOCEN

    Hello Erkan

    I have Tecra S3 for some time and I have preinstalled it twice (standard and expert mode) and in my case, it works without any problem.

    Trust me on this path is not easy to say what can be the problem, but I assume the recovery DVD is defective. You got two units with the same recovery media?

    Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner in your country and to explain to them what is happening. They can order new media recovery for you and also to preinstall the unit. If this happens because of a recovery media you will get a free.

  • VI Analyzer Questions: Change the default test configuration and screw "Pavilion".

    I have two things I continue to come through in VI Analyzer:

    1. are there in any case to set the default VI Analyzer so that it applies to all projects, I'm working on that?

    I tried to create a task in project A, registration of the configuration and any attempt to open this file in project B, but it says that the file could not be loaded. The reason for my question is that there are a few default options that just add errors that we don't care (e.g. Controls dialog on the façade - 99% of the LabVIEW code that we are working on is called from TestStand as code modules, so the front panel doesn't really count)

    2. can I score / report some screws as 'safe' for parser tests?

    Basically, some screws may fail some perfectly safe way VI Analyzer tests (e.g. non-stanard errors on a 'closing' VI, who doesn't have a case error structure so that the device always gets closed). I wish I had a way to mark the VI kind VI Analyzer would ignore this particular test. This would allow me to have a rule that says something like "before any construction, run the file configuration VI analyzer and make sure there is not error", as opposed to "run VI Analyzer and examine errors, decide whether or not they are important for the VI in question..." ». An extension to this question would be how do I perform a task VI Analyzer before building when the VI Analyzer screw do not accept files cfg for project based tasks.

    Any help would be greately appreciated!

    Thank you

    Shaun

    1. a project oriented .cfg file cannot be transferred between projects.  Could you possibly create a .cfg unrelated to the project file (under the option 'Start a new task' on the first page of the VI Analyzer) and use it?  He would have no file in the list, but it would have all of the configured tests as you want.  And you could start with this on your different projects .cfg file... you would just add screws based on file (on page 2 of the VI Analyzer), rather than have all come to you in a .cfg project-based.

    2. on page 4 VI Analyzer, you can exclude certain tests to run on some screws and save these settings in a .cfg.  This option is also exposed in the VI Analyzer API with VIAn exclude the VI.vi Tests.

  • How to compile and install the kernel modules after nation and nipalk for installation of Gentoo 64 bit?

    We are trying to install a PCIe 6251 DAQ card in a box of Gentoo 64 bit running Linux kernel 2.6.28 - gentoo-r5 4.3.2 - gcc and glibc - 2.8.  We have installed RPM utilities to manage the installation.  The current problem is that we are not able to compile and install the kernel modules: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  Here's a summary of what we have done so far, and to what extent we got.

    First of all, we have changed the configuration of the kernel that we could export the init_mm unused symbol by changing the configuration option of the CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS = o kernel and recompile the kernel.  Then we installed LabView 8.6.1.  Then we ran the nation 1.9 installer who has installed the source code in vain on the compilation.  To resolve this problem, we have changed the function of pte_offset to pte_offset_kernel by editing the file/usr/local/natinst/nation/configures following the instructions here:

    http://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-4511

    We were then able to compile and install the kernel nation module thanks to:

    . / configure
    do
    make install

    lsmod said that nation has been properly installed.  Then we ran the installer for DAQmx 8.0.1 by:

    . / INSTALL - nodeps

    To do this, we have received errors indicating that LabView support could not be installed because check addictive (incorrectly we think) stated that labviewbase86 has not been installed; This caused the installer to have an abortion.  Therefore, we refused to install support for LabView 8.6 and revived the installation program which produces the output:

    Installation of the driver NOR-DAQmx Distribution of Linux Installer version 8.0.1f0...

    Already to jump Edward - 1.9.0 - f0.noarch.rpm installation, same or newer

    After Installation...

    At this point, after reading this report, we used the Gentoo rc update utility to add several scripts for the boot runlevel initialisation:

    update of RC - a boot nipple
    update of RC - a bunch of nipxirmu
    update of RC - a bunch of mxssvr
    update of RC - a bunch of nisvcloc
    update of RC - a bunch of nidevldu

    When the computer reboots, you get an error message indicating that the following kernel modules are not: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  lsmod shows that the nation and nipalk are installed, but no other kernel modules NOR are present.  modprobe-l shows that only nation and nipalk are available.

    So we have several questions:

    1. we install drivers in the correct order?  Should use us NI-VISA 4.5 or NOR-488. 2 rather than DAQmx 8.0.1?

    2. What kernel modules should be loaded for this equipment run?  How to compile and install the ones that we have yet, specifically nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk?  Are there others?

    3. How can we get the installer to properly recognize that we have installed LabView Core and install support for LabView?  Are there additional kernel modules related to the support of LabView?

    4. What is the symbolic link that was not created in the DAQmx installation report? (ln: create the symbolic link ' / usr/local/include/NIDAQmx.h': no such file or directory)?

    I apologize for so many questions, but these seem to be the last obstacles to obtaining OR runs correctly on this system.  Is there other information that we can provide that would be useful?  Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.

    Craig

    Hey Craig,.

    Given that you use 64-bit Linux all kernel modules must be compiled for 64 - bit.  User mode binaries can be 32-bit, assuming that you have installed the 32-bit support libraries.

    NOR-DAQmx is a complex architecture and requires several kernel modules to support your PCIe card.  Most of these kernel modules have not been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Some kernel modules are components infrustructure that are shared with other pilots OR as NI-VISA and NOR-488. 2 and have been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Unfortunately, you need all the modules to use your hardware.

    I hope that answers your question.

  • How can I transfer OR-MAX configuration files during the installation of the application?

    I install my application on a PC that has no software EITHER.  The installation installs LV Run-Time and NO-DAQmx, OR MAX, but MAX configuration is the default value.  I use a USB DAQ.  I know that I can export the correct MAX configuration file but I don't know where to put it on the PC so that he sees MAX.

    Thank you.

    If you choose to include the harware config when you create the installation program, then you do not have to worry where it is placed and during the installation process, MAX on the new pc will attempt to import it

    If you want to manually copy the configuration on the new pc, put it anywhere you want. You must use the file > import the max function in order to use the new configuration.
