Windows and Linux running on vSphere Hypervisor

I want to run VMware directly on my hardware (bare metal) and run Ubuntu and Vista as virtual machines without going to dual boot; or run Ubuntu as a host and run Vista as a client of the virtual machine.  I read a few users manual for the hypervisor and got confused however.  Looks like you must have 3 physical servers and 6 GB of RAM?  Now, I'm not sure that this product is for me.  I liked it because it was free.  I'm looking at the right software?

just in case you're not clear on this point, which I think is maybe not

If you install esxi, you will need another pc to access the virtual machines on esxi.

the only thing you can do on the esxi console is management and configuration of the host.

You can't on the console of the virtual machines.

so you would haveto have 2 pcs.

1 esxi under vista and ubuntu

2nd pc to connect to vista and ubuntu on the network machines.

  • Dual-boot Windows and Linux, but Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

    I'm using Linux Mint and Windows 7 dual-boot. I have TB 31.0 installed on each operating system. TB Linux has a capacity of calendar; in Windows, there is nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for example, access somehow).

    I should add that Windows and Linux TB programs share the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), therefore, all of the same modules, passwords, etc.

    The error console records the following:

    An answer to my own question: it turns out that, while sharing a profile works quite well for most of the cases, with lightning, he does not, like the extension has different versions of Linux and Windows.

  • The mouse no longer works on Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (on Windows and Linux)

    Hello. Suddenly, my USB mouse doesn't work on my satellite pro A200-1F9 laptop. I had this same problem on my Linux (Ubuntu Feisty) for the last week or two, but today was the first time that the mouse no longer works in Windows. Ideas for what's gone wrong? (If I boot Linux with the attached mouse, I get an error message when loading upward.) The mouse does not work it is logged at startup or I plug it later).

    Under Windows and Linux, the laptop still recognizes my external HD which also has a USB connection...

    Thanks, Shoko.

    In my opinion, you should test the USB feature. If you are 100% sure that the USB ports are working well check your mouse or try to use the other.

  • Personal project: convert with VM Linux host to vSphere Hypervisor

    Hello

    I have been using VMware Workstation for some years both for personal and professional purposes.

    I would like to convert my Linux host with multiple virtual machines to vSphere Hypervisor server with all my existing virtual machines and data.

    I currently have a Ubuntu 10.10 desktop on which I run Workstation 8 to host multiple virtual machines to Linux as a WebSphere Portal cluster (LDAP, DB2, ND, Portal 2 nodes). I also use it to host a VortexBox VM that contains my music collection. The audio files are not in the hard of the VortexBox, but are accessed through a sharing of the host folder. I have also several years of photos and documents on the host system.

    The material consists of:

    Motherboard Asus M4A785TD-V

    Corsair XMS3 16 GB

    Intel PWLA8391GTBLK PRO/1000 GT Desktop Network adapt

    1 x Hitachi 1 TB (empty)

    1 x Seagate 160 GB (photos, video)

    2 x Seagate 300 GB (Ubuntu, music, data, VMs)

    I am very new to vSphere. What I did was install vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi 5) on a USB 8 GB on the above system and created a store of data of the 1 TB drive.

    I also installed vSphere Client on a virtual Windows XP machine running on my MacBook; that I used to create the data store.

    Can someone provide measures of high level on how to proceed?

    I have an external hard drive on which I can copy existing virtual machines to deploy to the host of vSphere through Workstation 8.

    My main concern is the best way to keep my collection of music/photo/video to make it accessible by the VM VortexBox.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    ' Copy the VMs convert to another system so that I can deploy to the area of ESXi? Or is there a way to locate the VMs converted from the ESXi host (via vSphere Client) and deploy? »

    ESXi must work so that the converter convert and move them to ESXi. Since it is the same dialog that VMware Workstation works on, it would mean that Ubuntu and workstation are turned off. You convert the raw files to workstation (which takes care of the tool). This will probably mean temporarily copy workstation virtual machine files to a temporary location.

    "What is the advantage of the use of VMware Converter instead of use the VMware Workstation 8 to download the virtual machines on the ESXi host?"

    Eventually no matter. But remember that since ESXi must be executed, you can have the two ESXi running AND Ubuntu/workstation at the same time on the same box, so in your case, wouldn't be able to do this. Another option exports all the VMS to the models of the FVO (for an external HARD drive), and then once ESXi is running, import the OVFs.

    "I like the point that do you on a VM file server. If I decide to implement this option, I would be able to connect to the existing hard disks on the ESXi host without having to reformat, to preserve my data (music, photos, videos, docs, etc.)? Any recommendations? "

    Although it is technically possible to have a linux format hard drive visible to virtual machines (such as a ROW), it is very unusual and massively overcomplicates things. The best thing to do would be to move the data on the hard drive temporarily, format them as VMFS data stores and then only move the data back ontop readers in a virtual hard drive. To do this way, you get all the benefits of virtualization (eg. being able to easily move this virtual hard disk on different volumes and attach easily to different virtual machines, etc.). It's a little pain in the short term, but the long-term gain.

    «I'm assuming that a VM file server would be different from a NAS VM, as I have to format disks in file system regardless of the SIN in the SIN prefer (I saw a YouTube video describing FreeNAS).»

    A NAS and file server are essentially the same. There is nothing more an operating system that data sharing. They all use the same protocol for sharing (samba, CIFS, iSCSI, etc.), so it does not matter in general. But yes, typically performance based most NAS on Linux OSs, so yes, it's finally sitting on a file system (ext2/3/4) of Linux. Which shouldn't matter however, as long as your other machines can access the data. If I were you, I would buy a consumer NAS (which will offer more storage and can be extended), or configure a simple VM (like FreeNAS or other) and just give him a big a VHD.

    Hi Arturo,.

    For a Configuration downstream, the OS platform should be the same for Source and downstream (mining sector).

    • the operating system on the source and downstream capture sites must be the same, but the version of the operating system should not be the same. However, the downstream sites can use a different directory on the source site structure;
    • When you use a configuration of downstream mining, the mining and data source must be of the same platform. For example, if the source database is running on Linux 64 - bit, the downstream database must be also on 64-bit Linux platform.

    Please visit the link for details below.,.

    People,

    Hello. I install PeopleTools 8,53 Internet Architecture. Database server is Dabase Oracle 11 GR 1 material. Operating system is Oracle Linux 5. I installed successfully JDK7, WebLogic Tuxedo 11 GR 1 material and PeopleTools 8,53 10.3.6, in Oracle Linux 5.


    I've been setting up of database PeopleTools8.53. Because the Wizard installation problem, I created PeopleTools 8,53 database manually by using starter PT853 Oracle database instance. I have run the following scripts:
    (1) utlspace.sql
    (2) dbowner.sql
    (3) ptddl.sql
    (4) psadmin.sql
    (5) psroles.sql
    (6) connect.sql


    Then, we perform Data Mover script in a Windows Client computer to fill the PeopleTools PT853 database machine Linux Sever instance. I installed Oracle Database 11 g 2 client for 32-bit Windows XP 64 - bit Windows virtual machine. Now I face the problem of connection of the VMs 2 as below:

    In Manager Net Linux Server Machine:

    Service name: PT853
    Connection type: default database
    "TCP/IP Protocol".
    Host name: localhost
    Port name: 1521

    Listener: LISTENER
    Protocol: TCP/IP
    Host: localhost
    Port: 1521

    I test the Service PT853 with "SYSADM" username and password "SYSADM". The connection is successful.
    In the Windows Client computer, the information in the Net Manager is the same, but the connection is not successful. Its details are as below:

    NET Service Name: PT853
    Protocol: TCP/IP
    The database Machine host name: localhost
    Port number: 1521
    Name of the Basic Service: PT853
    Connection type: default database

    I have test the Service using "SYSADM" UserID and password to 'SYSADM' which are the same with Linux, but this error: TNS: listener does not currently of service requested in connect descriptor.

    My questions are:

    Do we need to do something for you connect Windows XP with Linux first? If so, how? If not, how to solve the problem above?

    Thank you.

  • HFM in windows and Linux HFR

    Hi people,

    I heard a senior guy HFM is installed on windows (11.1.2.1 - 2.3) and HFR uses HFM as datasource, HFR should be installed on windows as well.

    Anyone heard of this or seen any documents on this subject?

    Thank you

    I think that 11.1.2.3.500 there a HFM ADM driver that can be installed under linux, it's certainly here to 11.1.2.4.

    Before this date, you need to install FR on windows, if you use EN with HFM.

    I followed this tutorial http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_devices_serial_2vms.html to configure 2 virtual machines in Windows 7 host machine.

    In Windows XP Oracle database Client Installer directory, the "tnsnames.ora" file has an entry that matches the name Service in Net Manager. Directory of database server installation Oracle Linux, the file 'tnsnames.ora' has no entry because I installed the server of Oracle database with the instance of database startup PT853.


    I tried to test 2 virtual machines in the way as below:

    In Linux, [user@localhost ~] $ping WindowsXP_HostName
    Release: Unknown host WindowsXP_HostName


    At the Windows XP command prompt:
    C:\ping localhost.localdomain
    Its release: ping localhost 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data...
    Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes = 32 time = 2ms TTL = 128


    He meets a few times and then disconnected by itself. It seems that Windows XP is ping itself and not Linux server. The host name of the Linux server is 'localhost' as well. It is a kind of confusion for me.


    From the information above, we can see that 2 VMs cannot connect between them. Net Manager in Windows XP Oracle Client unable to connect its Service PT853 with the Oracle Linux database server.

    My question is:

    Can any folk tell me how to connect Oracle Client in Windows XP with the Oracle Linux database server?


    Very grateful in advance.

    5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Hey, I need because I was admitted to a course of RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer)

    Please help me

    Hello

    I can't give you a step by step explanation, but most distributions offer today a possibility to coexist with Windows.
    When installing the unused free space will be taken by Linux (with the consent of the user of course!)

    What exact configuration you need is impossible for someone else to say, but I would say to make the space occupied by the F player available for Linux.
    You seem to have of enough space for Windows and Linux operating system doesn't have much.

    Some thoughts about setting up your score:

    I touch NOT 1,2 and 5 no matter what. They are your system and a system of internal partitions (recovery and data environment) and wouldn't it be fun to lose.

    1 active, recovery partiton 1.46 GB (without drive letter)
    2. principal asset C: start 145,04 GB (NTFS)
    3. active logics E: 78,13 GB (NTFS)
    4 active logical F: 64.25 GB (NTFS)
    5 primary Partition 9.2 GB (no drive letter, the unknown application)

    Then choose a Distro (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OpenSuse - suggestion Fedora will be as close as possible associated with RedHat) that will guide you in the steps to allocate space for Linux.
    I suggest however to remove the disk F in Windows for Linux does not start from resizing all partitions.
    I do not know which works perfectly, but will just take time, and will most probably remain pretty useless drive F.

    If you have valuable data on your device, make sure to save! No software comes with warranty :)
    Last but not least - make 100% sure to create a collection set using the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator before you start the installation of Linux.
    If something goes wrong you have the opportunity to put the unit in factory condition.

    Good luck and keep asking you if you need extra help!
