What is the best solution for this idea...

I have a task I'm trying to test and understand what would be the best solution for this, any recommendations would be appreciated.

Devices at your fingertips:

-2 ESXi hosts

-1 iSCSI SAN OpenFiler (new just installed the app)

2 ESXi hosts run a small amount of virtual machines that are all in the same domain.  I want to have a file server (or a repository somewhere) that houses a folder with easily accessible software (OS, Office, etc.) on the field.

According to me, that if I made a virtual machine with a large hard drive and share the software, this would not be the best way because it would be dependent on the OS.  Someone has talked about doing a separte VMDK for it and then install it on the operating system on the virtual machine. This way I could always remove the and mount it somewhere else.

It seems a bit weird to me that the software within this "shared folder" will also be sitting on the data store (if I create a virtual machine and need to use the OS/etc).  Not that doubles the space for the same software (in the comments, then the data store)?

What is the best approach to make this action which can be accessed at the prompt (mostly windows) in the field?

What is the best way to stay away the software doubles in action and on the data store?

Please forgive me if I put interpereted your question.

The problem you seem to face is that you must mount the ISOs of VMS software and physical systems that are on the field.

(please, correct me if I'm wrong on this)

If this is the case, then the best way to do would be to create sharing NFS on the openfiler, if you use openfiler to main databases also then he would be better for sharing this was separated to prevent the other help to be able to tamper with the VMDK and VMX files for your virtual machines.

This could then be mounted in ESX to access the ISOs. While being easy to install on Linux and Windows machines to access the ISOs.

If you have questions about NFS mounting in windows, so, this link may help

http://sagehacks.WordPress.com/2009/01/21/HOWTO-mount-NFS-shares-under-Windows-7

If you are needing to access the VMs software and it is mainly the downloading ISOs then th ISO directly to the data store is possible.

This allows you to use ESX to mount the ISO on the virtual machine.

On the point that the software will use double disk space when you install the software on a machine virtual car will be on the network share and the VMDK virtual machines in the data store. That's right, and that's by design.

Each virtual machine under ESXI is 'independent' (http://www.vmware.com/virtualization/virtual-machine.html)

This means that each virtual computer must have its own copy of the application.

This perspective reflection of each virtual machine as a separate system of 'physical '. They interact with each other as if they were physical systems.

Each VMDK resembles a physical hard disk. Being accessible (in most configurations) 1 VM at a time.

So if you had a set of physical systems connected to a domain and I wanted to install an application on each one, then each would have its own local copy of the application. It's the same thing with virtual machines.

However

If you configure a set of physical machines so that you run the software from a network share. It is possible to do the same thing using virtual machines using the exactly the same configuration. However, the chiefs more associated to this are important in both cases.

  • What is the best way for this situation?

    Hi I have a xml file in my application. over a period of time, I have to add some nodes to the existing xml file.

    In my business logic when a particular condition is met I have to add a child node to the existing parent for an existing xml file node.

    What is the best way to do it? which api is best for this?

    Myriam wrote:

    Sure. This is the opposite operation of analysis, and it is called "Serialization".

    The usual to serialize a DOM to a file is to create a transformer and to apply the transformation of identity for the DOM. However there are also third party XML serializers that do not take this approach.

  • What is the best plan for this situation

    I was looking at the pricing for the CC apps plans and I'm not sure who would fit better.

    Long story short, I was hired for a new company to start and my job will be to do graphic design work.
    I'm going to need both Photoshop and Illustrator for this. Two unique licenses for businesses will run on nearly €60, whereas a full license of CC will be close to €70. Is there not a better option for someone who just wants a few applications, or better, I'll pay for the full package of CC? Also, I'm not sure if the business is the ideal solution, is there a distinction between small and large firms?

    You can use individual plans in a commercial enterprise. The software will be linked to your personal ID from Adobe.

    Business plans are a misnomer. They should only be referred to as creative cloud for teams. They allow centralized deployment and management of software. Not related to the individual Adobe ID.

  • What are the best solutions for data warehouse configuration in 10 gr 2

    I need help on solutions to provide my client for the upgrade of the data warehouse.

    Current configuration: database Oracle 9.2.0.8. This database contains the data warehouse and a LOBs more on the same host. The sizes are respectively 6 terabyte (3 years retention policy + current year) and 1 terabyte. The ETL tool and BO Reporting tools are also hosted on the same host. The current configuration is really poor.

    Customer cannot go for a major architectural or configuration to its environment changes existing now due to some constraints.

    However, they agreed to separate the databases on separate hosts of ETL tools and objects BO. We also plan to upgrade the database to 10 g 2 to achieve stability, better performance and overcome the current headache.
    We cannot upgrade the database 11g as the BO is a 6.5 version that is not compatible with Oracle 11 g. And the customer cannot afford to spend anything else than the database.

    So, my role is very essential in providing a perfect solution for better performance and take a migration successful Oracle from a host database to another (same platform and OS) in addition to the upgrade.

    I got to thinking now of the following:

    Move the database and Oracle mart for separating the host.
    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome with 32-bit HP - UX operating system (we are unable to change to 64-bit as ETL tool does not support)
    Install the new Oracle 10 g on the new host database and move the data to it.
    Discover all the new features of 10gr 2 in order to data warehouse, i.e., introduction of Clause SQL TYPE, Parallel processing, partitioning, Data Pump, SPA to study the pre and post migration.
    Also at RAC to provide more better solution than our main motivation is to show an extraordinary performance improvement.
    I need your help to prepare a good roadmap for my assignment. Please suggest.

    Thank you

    Tapan

    Two major changes since the 9i to 10g which will impact performance are
    a. changes in the default values when executing GATHER_ % _STATS
    b. change in the behavior of the optimizer

    Oracle has published several white papers on them.

    Since 10g is no longer in the Premier Support, you'll have some trouble connecting SRs with Oracle Support - they will continue to ask you to use 11 g.

    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome

    Why do you need export if you do not change the platforms? You could install 9.2.0.8 on the new server, the database clone and then level to 10 gr 2 / 11 GR 2.

  • Is an array, the best solution for this problem?

    Hello

    I work a demo where a couple of small games come in a Panel. There is a main menu which you bounce around to select the things (games as well as other applications.)

    When one party runs, it takes up the entire jury. When two or more run, they run in a format "mini." In addition, when a game is running, a special 'return to the game' button in the main menu.

    It is a click by dog and pony, see the demo. It is not a production application, but it should work well enough to be played with internal clients. So it must work well.

    At this moment I have a few variables put in place as follows:

    var gameActive:Boolean = false;
    var gameDual:Boolean = false;

    In the launch menu and my game function, I check these (and one or two others) variables to see if I should do things like show a mini-version of the game or show return to the play button. I added many features, it becomes a bit difficult to handle.

    At stake is the games. Let's say that I only have two. I could make a table and then load in the name of the game, when a game is started. I could check this table in my functions to see not only if the games is launched, but the game is launched so I can use the full or mini games as the case may be.

    Is this a good approach, or is there a better way? I'm rusty with my code and not super comfortable, making things right now. But I could go on like this if it was the best.

    There's not much to it.  This is the only 3 things that you are likely to need to do with your associative array:

    var yourAA:Object = {};

    function addAAItem (aa:Object, o: DisplayObject) {}

    AA [o.Name] = o;

    }

    function removeAAItem (aa:Object, {o: DisplayObject}

    AA [o.Name] = null;

    }

    function aaLength(aa:Object):int {}

    var i: int = 0;

    for (var s:String in aa) {}

    i ++ ;

    }

    Return i;

    }

  • What is the best software for this matter of form?

    I have a project for which I think Adobe have a solution, but I want to assure you that I have buy the correct software. I searched the forum but quite impossible to find the right answer.

    I want to be able to create a form that can be completed electronically, has captured for analysis of the data entered and then be able to print a paper copy of the completed form.

    What I understand from what I have read so far, I can create a form with Acrobat and distribute it in PDF format. Once the form is completed on-screen and submitted, the data will be captured by forms Central where I can analyze it. The person who completed the form and then print it as I need a signed paper copy. The completed form by e-mail, in which case it is completed on an i - Pad and can be sent to a place that can print?

    Finally, I need about 750 of these completed forms. Forms Central allows only 500 participants by the form, I think, but, with the right subscription can I distribute 2 identical forms and then export and merge data in, said Excel?

    Or Livecycle will do all what I want.

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    With the basic plan of FormsCentral, the maximum number of answers in the table of responses at one time is limited to 500, but you can earn more if you export the responses and remove some of the table. If you get the plan, this number increased to 5000. So the question is to know if you think that you will be able to export before the response table fills up. But there is also a buffer zone so that all submissions over 500 are always saved, they are simply not shown until you remove a part out of the way, so no data is lost.

    Users will be able to present, print, save and email if you wish. They use Adobe Reader on the iPad, which is not the default PDF Viewer and cannot be made the default display.

  • What is the best solution for Win2K server without?

    I am running VMware server 2 on a Windows 2000 Server computer. Single processor with a few guests of ubuntu hosting web apps. If I want with VMware 2 or is there a better free vmware I should up grade too? It's a Dell with the old installed dc Perc raid controller scsi/320.

    Are you unhappy with VMware 2 on W2K? I guess you are thinking about ESXi as it's the only other free VMware virtualization platform.

    Why do you feel the need to change? Are there questions? Or you just think improve it?

    If you are moving to ESXi, you should be aware that you lose the host W2K Server itself.

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.

  • Is alcohol the best solution for the cleaning of the product

    Sometimes you print quality problems. You cannot print the colors, bad impression or bad imagingin during the scan images.

    You go through all the troubleshooting steps away as cartrides, glass, rollers of the printer cleaning and replacement of cartridges.

    Ask yourself what you should used during the cleaning of the unit?

    WATER and a LINT cloth, would be the best solution for cleaning. You can absorb the water on the cloth and clean the printhead, cartridges, the scanner glass, rolls and any other area that needs to be specific to the unit.

    ALCOHOL IS NOT AN OPTION. This can damage the strips and the contacts on the cartridges and the print head. The next time you need to clean your product, water is the best option.

    Hope this helps everyone.

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.
