• with local storage vMotion

  What are my options to enable vMotion with local storage with vSphere 6.0? I have only 2 servers, so virtual SAN is not an option.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, Fault Tolerance requires shared storage. At this point, it is not possible to perform ft on local storage.

• It is possible and effective: high availability (failover) on 2 guests with local storage?

  Hello

  I have a discussion on the implementation of ha (failover) with 2 guests with local storage.

  My advice is to go with a shared storage. But there is another view, use the cluster failover MS with local storage service to save on the shared storage hardware.

  2 "mirorred" on each host machines. Is it feasible at all?

  The HughesNet: have 2 virtual machines (SQL server and server applications in a highly available environment). The workload of the machines will be raised to 2 very powerful servers that are supposed to be buying.

  1. Please briefly explain a feature of local storage to provide HA.

  2. I got to cluster in the virtual environment, not so I guess that the shared storage is used only in the virtual environment.

  Thank you.

  Michael.

  There is software that can replicate a running, physical or virtual machine to another accessible location on the network. This could be as simple that between two close hosted ESXi of VMS or high-speed WAN. Take a look at things like neverfail, doubletake others.  The costs would probably be a bit prohibitive in a smaller environment. It might be possible and maybe even practice to use a virtual storage device having a failover replication. Use of storage on each host and allows to provide the data store. Open-e

• ESX host with local storage recommended for the host partition table?

  Hi all

  I know that the best practical partition table should look like this:

  Mount Point	Partition	Size	Description
  		/ dev/sda (primary)
  / Boot	ext3	250 MB	Change of extra space for upgrades
  N/A	SWAP	1 600 MB	Change the maximum size of Exchange service console
  /	ext3	5120 MB	Change of extra space in the root
  		/ dev/sda (Extended)
  / var	ext3	4096 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with log files
  / tmp	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with temporary files
  / opt	ext3	2048 MB	Create partition to avoid overfilling root with the log files of VMware HA
  / Home	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with agent / user files
  	vmkcore	100 MB	Pre-configured

  However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

  Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

  Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines

• Impossible to use Hotmail with Chrome

  Original title: hotmail with google chrome

  Hotmail button does not work with google chrome.

  Hello

  I understand that not use Hotmail with Google Chrome is an experience that bothers.

  1. this is happening exactly when you try to open Hotmail?

  2 - is the problem occurs only when you try to open Hotmail?

  3 - is the issue limited only to Google Chrome or it occurs with other browsers as well?

  4 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  The question you posted would be better suited in the Chrome Forum. I would recommend posting your query in the Chrome Forum site:

• HP ProLiant DL160 - cannot create the data with local storage (controller, no RAID) store

  Hi all. I appreciate your time and comments.

  Using VMware ESXi (initially), installation (VMware ESXi 5.5.0, 1331820) will very well (install on USB). Able to enter in the console of the vSphere Client, everything seems normal. Any attempt to use local storage, however, is filled with this error message: http://i.imgur.com/40ySsOS.png

  "It was not correct to specified parameters. Vim.Host.DiskPartitionInfo.spec"-" 'HostStorageSystem.ComputerDiskPartitionInfo' call for object 'storage system' on ESXi "< ip address >" failed. "

  I tried both the base (from VMware) installation disc and the "Custom" (HP) HP installation disk. Both have the same problem: all facilities, but local disks - as seen while - are not able to serve local storage. It worked very well (previous incarnation was as Server 2003 file server, no reported\noticed questions). It's not under warranty, its going to be used as a laboratory server. All this seems to work well.

  Specifics:

  HP DL160 G6

  Storage card: ICH10 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller

  Discs: 3 G MDL 500 GB 7200

  Controller and the disks are perceived by the system: http://i.imgur.com/3PAKQHL.png

  Can someone point me in the right direction on what to go here? Research on the error messages do not lead to a lot of help. I'll get more pending. I would be grateful.

  This could be a problem with the current data on the disk. I suggest clean you the partition info using the DD explained to the KB VMware: Troubleshooting in the add storage Wizard error: cannot read this disk partition information to see if that solves the problem.

• View Load Balancing Hosts with local storage

  Hello

  After the use of VMWare for server virtualization, it is time to move to the next step.

  We are in the middle of a display driver 5 :-)

  At the moment I have 2 host vmware (esxi 5) with storage connected to a San.

  My "master VM" is in the SAN and connected to two hosts.

  A pool is created and data warehouses them are selected for the pool.

  The replicas are created on two local data stores when I set up the pool.

  At the time, my drivers 10 users working on a related Clone which is located on the local storage.

  The strange thing is that all users are running on a single host.

  East on the host with the most free space.

  When I remove the data store, the virtual machine is created on the other host.

  After adding it, are all the vm on the store with the largest disks again.

  How can I configure display to use the two hosts?

  This is a normal behavior of View Composer to put desktops on the storage the largest space available. You can change this behavior by adjusting storage approval settings. Take a look at this blogpost:

• Impossible to use eyes with OS 10.9

  I just bought a new mac mini. I've updated the software of HP, but I can't seem to use the eye - one. He invites me to use the color balance apple without the dongle on the screen.

  Anyone?

  Hi leicaflexsl2,

  It took me as long as it is because it is the Eye - One from HP is a commercial product. I suspect might be the best answer to your question in the HP Enterprise Business Community.

  Although my technical expertise with the software and consumer products, I managed to find some information.

• Impossible to use levels with dual channel

  I learned about the channels of a book by Richard Harrington.  A year tells you to duplicate the blue layer, and then set the channel duplicate with levels.  When I Ctrl + L to access levels, it does nothing.  Someone knows what's the problem?

  YPP

  You will need to make the newly created visible string to modify (for example, with levels).

  Select the check box to the left of it (in the LAYERS Panel) so that the display on the icon 'eye '.  You will need to make other invisible channels (click on their icon of eyeball wide) in order to view the duplicated properly channel.

• HA with local storage

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up a cluster between 2 hosts with HA on vSphere 5.5. I wonder if it is necessary the shared storage used for all partitions or if it is possible to have partitions on the shared data store and others locally. The motivation behind this is to have applications and their performance managed on local disk files but still be able to their failover using HA. This kind of configuration is possible? If so, is it a good idea?

  Thank you!

  Welcome to the community,

  No, in order for HA work files of all virtual machines must be stored on shared storage that is accessible by all guests who participate in the HA cluster. Remember, if a host goes down, data stored on local disks of the host is not available, which does not allow to restart the virtual machine on a different host.

• Upgrading to ESX 4.0 host autonomous with local storage to ESXi 4.1 on a USB

  We have a stand-alone host with a single raid array that is local to the server at a remote site from ours.  The question of what I've done research, you need to reformat the raid array if you install ESXi 4.1 on this host.  Since there is no shared storage, the only option would be to copy the data from one server to another, or maybe install ESXi on a USB key.

  It seems to work fairly well in a test environment.  Are there warnings that I may have missed when I take a system that can be started locally on ESX 4.0 and change it to boot from a USB key with ESXi 4.1?  In my test environment, I know that you can not install ESXi 4.1 on a USB key, if this system had ESXi 4.1 installed on the local disk.  He ended up giving me the GROUP when he discovered another ESXi installation.

  Thoughts?

  Matt

  As you may have noticed a new ESXi installation will wipe away the installation partition.  If you have just a single Bay, then you'll want to go to the root of the USB.  If the data store was on a LUN or a separate table, then you'd be OK to install ESXi on ESX.  As long as the boot order is set correctly, you'll be fine.

  In my test environment, I know that you can not install ESXi 4.1 on a USB key, if this system had ESXi 4.1 installed on the local disk. He ended up giving

  me the GROUP when he discovered another ESXi installation.

  What kind of system did you use for testing?

• Install ESX 3.5 with local storage

  I just install ESX 3.5 on a database server that I will use for failover only.  The server has an internal 750 GB internal SATA drive.  I have install ESX 3.5 through the wizard very well.  But when I connect to the new server with the gateway Client, I get an error that says - "VMware ESX Server has no storage persistent." - see attachment.  It gives me the ability to create a data store.  My options are disk/LUN, NFS or diagnosis.  I don't see where to add a local drive as a data store.  What am I missing here?  Is there some partitioning step that I missed when installing ESX.

  Those are the IDE drives?  VMFS not supported on the ide.

• Problem when executing the processors in the nodes with disabled local storage

  Hello world
  
  We test the coherence JSR107 (a.k.a. JCache) implementation of Yannis (https://github.com/yannis666/Coherence-JSR-107) and we found the following issue when you work with a local storage where distributed cache node is disabled (using - Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage = false). Yannis implementation uses several EntryProcessors for the execution of operations get() or put () in the cache. For example, the following code is used to update a value in the cache:
  
  / public class PutProcessor implements InvocableMap.EntryProcessor {}
  
  @Override
  public Object process (input InvocableMap.Entry) {}
  BEntry entry = (BinaryEntry) BinaryEntry;
  return bEntry.isPresent ()? bEntry.getBinaryValue (): null;
  }
  
  }
  
  And put operatino is taken from the following code:
  
  namedCache.invoke (key, CPU)
  
  where processor argument contains a reference to the PutProcessor object.
  
  
  When we call JSR107 performs surgery put in the cache and code above we get following exception:
  
  java.lang.NullPointerException
  to com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.grid.partitionedService.PartitionedCache$ Storage.invoke (PartitionedCache.CDB:10)
  at com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.grid.partitionedService.PartitionedCache.onInvokeRequest(PartitionedCache.CDB:52)
  to com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.grid.partitionedService.PartitionedCache$ InvokeRequest.run (PartitionedCache.CDB:1)

  at com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.Grid.onNotify(Grid.CDB:33)
  at com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.daemon.queueProcessor.service.grid.PartitionedService.onNotify(PartitionedService.CDB:3)

  at com.tangosol.coherence.component.util.Daemon.run(Daemon.CDB:42)
  at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662)
  
  Of course we have previously started another node in the cluster with local storage enabled.
  
  It seems that, as no storage card is present at the node, a NullPointerException is thrown when you try to insert the entry.
  
  Could someone give advice on this problem and how to overcome? This implementation is based on the processor is not compatible with the knots of localstorage cache disabled?
  
  Thank you in advance,
  
  Daniel C.

  Hello

  It sounds like COH-7180 - demand deserialization failure results in a cryptic NullPointerException, that has been fixed in one of the 3.7.1 patches. The real problem is that your entryprocessor cannot be deserialized.

  Hi Vivek,

  You are on the right track. Just remove the jars of Apache AXIS, and you'll be fine. All the pots you need is the vijava*.jar and the dom4j*.jar.

  Good luck!
