vSan with just 2 hosts?

Hi all

I am currently on a trajectory of vcp - VTC 6 and covered only briefly in the vSAN.

I'm really looking forward to try this at home, but the problem is that I have only two servers (HP Gen8 MicroServer)

I have seen that it is possible to nest hosts esxi etc but is it possible to use two medical examinations?

Thank you!

mattg1,

You can work with just two hosts or even a single, if you change the default storage policy to include force_provision set to true, depending on what stage you are at the. You will have a second replica on his own diskgroup, but if it's just for a laboratory at home for educational purposes which will be very well. VMware refers to this a strapping 'start-up' and you will see that it is actually supported during the construction of a new cluster (greenfield) where vCenter has not yet been yet (emerging) installation. In other words, you can build a host in a cluster VSAN just so that you can configure vCenter Server and then add the rest of the guests (if any) as soon as vCenter is up and running.

«By boot strapping Virtual SAN without vCenter can fill this gap and remove the obligation to have storage high availability or temporarily on the local drive to day - zero operations.» This could be applicable to a greenfield deployment scenario. »

  • FTP problem with just 1 host

    I worked on a site hosted by 1and1 for about 5 years. Recently however, whenever I try to connect using dreamweaver, it shows a simple file that indicates that the site has activated frontpage extensions and I can't use FTP until the extensions are disabled.

    My first reaction was to check that the extensions had not been enabled (they didn't, but as a precaution, I tried enabling them and then disable - no difference made).

    Then I tried using a command prompt to use the Basic windows FTP tool - that works very well. I can see everything as planned. At least I have a workaround, but it's a major inconvenience to say the least.

    I went through all the settings in Dreamweaver that I can find about FTP and none of this makes no difference. The killer came to use another computer to connect - that too is displayed with the same message when I use Dreamweaver.

    1and1 swear blind that the problem is not on their end and I have a flaw in Dreamweaver. The problem is that I can't imagine what it actually is and that I could do with some help to isolate the fault. Is DW made differently than a normal ordinary ftp client? Are there hidden parameters that can be at fault?

    Annoyingly, I just managed to work around the problem by destroying the site and recreating the bunch of parameters.

    Still no idea why it happened in the first place. Still no idea what the exact nature of the problem was.

  • vCenter complete with just 2 hosts database?

    Last week, my vCenter Server broke down 3 x.  As far as I know, the SQLExpress database hit that's the limit of 4 GB.  No problem, I'll just follow the operation here:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1025914

    Unfortunately, that released only 10MB.  Then, of course, less than a day later we are back to where we started.  Then I ran this:

    http://blogs.VMware.com/kb/2010/09/dealing-with-vCenter-41-database-tables-growth.html

    After deleting (?) the VPX_EVENT and _VPX_EVENT_ARG tables, I restarted the box and we are at the top (for now).

    As someone who has * no. with SQL experience, how will I know how I have now in my VCDB of free space, and more important again, what is causing it fills?  My best guess is that we use vReplicator Vizioncore (not buying it), that could generate many events, but I have no way to check it out and they say to me "you must call VMware."

    Suggestions appreciated!

    You can also check your statistics in vCenter.  The more statistics, more your DB level could get.  In addition, you can watch the maintenance tasks to help keep this DB under control.  I can't Express, but when you are in the properties of the DB, see if you have a recovery model, if it is something other than the simple, to change.  Also, I posted a KB above which will help with your transaction logs.  These tend to be the largest part of the size of the DB instance.

  • Scenario VSAN with 3 hosts - hosts, 2/3 down

    Hello community,

    I have a question about the following scenario. Take a look at my enclosed PDF also.

    -VSAN with a total of 3 guests (A, B, C)

    -VM 1 is running on host a.

    What happens when the host B and C goes down?

    The VM on the host of way continues running or down also?

    Thanks for that.

    What I need, is that the virtual machine host A continues to operate even if the hosts B and C go away.

    As the VMS on host A is running and there is no problem, I want to make it work so that problems with & B and C are resolved.

    Is this possible in a VSAN environment?

    "There is no problem" depends on how you look at it. From a point of view VSAN you just lost quorum as more then 50% of the components must be available. There are a lot of questions in this scenario as I see it. What you are looking for is not possible with VSAN.

  • How to access multiple VMs on the network with nic 1 host?

    Greetings,

    I have a server vmware running windows XP with 3 virtual machines in suse. I would like to access the 3 virtual machines from the network at the same time. The vm 3 has their own static ip address. I use the bridge network mode. There is only 1 NETWORK card on the XP computer. With this configuration, I can access only 1 vm the network at a time. When I added an another NIC and jumpered it on a second computer, virtual, then I can access 2 at the same time.  Any ideas on how I can access all the vm 3 at the same time on the network with just 1 NETWORK card?

    Even if you only have a physical NETWORK adapter, you should be able to access all the guests at the same time when they use bridged networking and have a correct IP configuration. Can you put your host IP configuration and your guests so we can check it out. Make sure the guests are really "bridged" and disable all firewall during the test.

  • Firefox on the laptop of my wife lost the black bar that displays maps, Gmail etc. Now at the top of the screen there is an empty bar, triple height, with just the Google search box entry. How can I get that back? Or is it a question for Google?

    When I open Firefox there is a black bar, sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal, in the upper part, with links to maps, Gmail etc. When I opened Gmail the same links are listed at the top of the screen, just under the tabs. In my wife's cell phone, it appears in the Firefox splash screen, but not in the form of Gmail. In the top of the screen is an extra-large gray bar with just one Google search box entry. Is this a problem of Firefox or Google?

    She has XP Home SP3 and Firefox 9

  • Can a crook hack an iPad with just the iPad serial number

    AN alert came on my iPad while I was with safari and he said I had a virus and I had to call a specific number to solve the problem. I called and hey asked me the serial number of the iPad, and I gave that person and after that he seemed suspicious, so I hung up. They always have my serial number, so I was wondering if they can hack the iPad with just the serial number?

    This serial number is linked to your iPad. The call is a scam!

    If you have configured authentication code your on your iPad, even if they have the serial number it should not make a difference.

    If you have not set one, do it immediately > use a password with your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

  • Finder: How to delete comments from thousands of documents with just a few clicks?

    I used to add comments to files (right click a file and the information input in the comment section). Now, I changed to use Adobe software for the metadata entry.

    I need more information in the comment section and I want to clear them all because they affect my search (because these observations will be searched too and I don't need that).

    I know that I can open each file individually and delete the comment section. But I have about 5 000 files. I can't afford to do it one by one.

    Is there an approach that allows me to delete the comments in these 5 000 files with just a few clicks?

    Hello Ali,.

    If I understand, you want to score orhighlight some certain points in a graphic waveform. A simple way to do this is to use annotations (for example, without the arrows, a few points), there are the examples come with LV another way is to use an XY Chart. Here, you can put some points to certain positions-X.

  • Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

    My system worked properly on 25 April and then something happened and now the machine comes back with "Start menu options" but will not start in one of the listed options, modes result in the same outcome.  System also starts on the Vista CD.

    System begins to boot normally, shows the tracer Green Windows at the bottom of the screen, then the mouse pointer appears and moves but the rest of the screen remains black.

    That's it, that's all what he will do.  I checked the settings of the computer and ran the diagnostic tests available and everything seems to go fine and passes all the tests.

    I worked on my own computers for over 20 years and never been stumped before, but I must say this is a first, and I have no idea what to try to do it now.

    Help or direction is appreciated.

    original title: Vista 64-bit Black Screen of Death, with just a mobile available slider, the system does not start in safe mode.

    See if there is a way to tecover clean your data before doing a restore to conditions of factory that will wipe the drive of all.  You can use Knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html with a good ISO as Copier: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm as well as a blank CD (which you will need to do on another computer).  Starting on this disc and lla should give you enough access to the system (if you do not have any other means) to backup your important data.

    So since you seem to have no other alernatives, you can try retoring the original factory computer options. However, if it is a hardware problem as could very well be the case, you can still encounter problems after even this drastic step.  Then you will need to consider in a reputable computer repair shop (NOT Geek Squad or or a any of these big store centers) or maybe even go back to the manufacturer for repair.   Check out several options and compare the costs, quality and guaranteed and then make your best decision.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
