K-MaC — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 07:09:23 GMT

Will do. As for that site i've found a couple of those calendars. Unfortunately, the oldest data I've been able to find in them is from November 8th 2008. I'll start up a list when I get to work tomorrow.

vSphere VI Client Display Language

SchmittJ — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:16:29 GMT

Hello,

I had the same problem and i´ve tested the following commandline:

vpxclient -locale en (now the vsphere client is english)

vpxclient -locale de (now the vsphere client is german)

It would be nice feature to add a small language-dropdown (same like use windows session credentials)

To Hyperthread or Not.

K-MaC — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:41:02 GMT

Well that's 3 votes out of 3 for using Hyperthreading. I appreciate all the answers. However, I just have one question. Does anyone have a link to a paper/guide where it states to use Hyperthreading in Oracle? If not that's fine I will go with the best practice but it would be nice to have the paper! Again I thank you all.

Cheers

Most forum points in a week

etung — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:02:02 GMT

I thought those large numbers came from posters uploading informative documents (not necessarily links to documents) or procedures and getting points for the amount of people that access it.

I'm pretty sure the point system does not reward documents, no matter how highly rated or widely read. The document I linked to makes no mention of points for documents, and my own experience bears this out (I wrote a number of the most widely read docs on these forums, but I'm pretty sure I earned all my points via posts and correct/helpful awards). The point system certainly can't take into account the informative sites that a number of the top posters maintain on their own, outside of the forum.

Although points are a fine general indicator of knowledge/participation, focusing on points makes the community worse off because the points system rewards behaviors that don't help and does not reward behaviors that do.

One of the Jive support engineers has 1892 watches set. They are running a more current version than we are, so that might be the cause, but I'm not sure. I am still working the caching angle (i.e. caching as root cause) as well.

Adding VCB licence to a stand alone ESX server

K-MaC — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:33:21 GMT

Hey guys, thanks for your input so far. I think I understand the situation a little better now. However, it would be nice if someone could chime in with some first hand knowledge. At any I am further along today than I was yesterday so I suppose that is a good thing. Thanks again.

Cheers

vRanger Pro

dconvery — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 12:22:34 GMT

The document centers around VMs in an ESX cluster. In this case, VC is required to determine the "owner" of the VM before the snapshot is taken. You could certainly direct this to an ESX server instead of VC. The client is not really needed for VCB to function. When you configure VCB the config.js would need a hostname of either the VC or an ESX server. If you use vRanger, you don't really need to edit the config.js file. vRanger will want the info for VC and all of the ESX servers involved.

If you do not have a vCenter server then the vRanger and VCB backup processes will communicate with the ESX server(s) involved. If you are clustering your ESX servers, then the communications will need to go through the vCenter server.

$1.5 billion spent on the election..... someone somewhere is making oodles of cash

Maybe they should think of virtualising it and realise major cost savings

Increase/Decrease Disk Size

Thanks everyone for your input. I agree that diskpart is pretty much useless for shrinking, that being said I highly doubt I will use it much if ever.

What would you do with a 1gbps(1000mbps) to your house...(Japan)

malaysiavm — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 09:14:44 GMT

Do you know how stupid is ISP Malaysia?

4mb cost RM 2xx

2mb cost RM 1xx

1mb cost < RM 1xx

Note: USD 1 = RM 3.4

The most important is you can't even get 40% of the speed.

Well, after reading all of the research Steve Gibson did into Chrome, and all the flaws/issues he found, I'm glad I stayed away from this thing. Read the latest Security Now issue for details.

Mendel Rosenblum Leaves VMware

K-MaC — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 02:27:38 GMT

Hey all as I am sure some of you are aware it has been reported that Mendel Rosenblum has resigned from VMware. As others speculated it appeared to be just a matter of time until he resigned as EMC fired his wife. It will be interesting to see how this gets spun in the media. Anyways here are some links to stories on the subject.

ESXi CDROM issue

K-MaC — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 00:55:44 GMT

Hey Dave. After digging around a bit more ive found this to be a limitation of ESXi as per another thread. http://communities.vmware.com/message/1027361#1027361 the last post mentions it.

I'll just go with your suggestion and add ISO's to the datastore.

Customization Specifications Custom Network Setup Error

K-MaC — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:36:53 GMT

Sorry I didnt do extensive testing with Mcafee as we dont use it very much. We mainly use Trend and occasionally Norton. However I can tell you that I tried to disable Norton prior to making my template and I ran into the same issues. I had to completely uninstall the program in order to have our customization scripts run. You could try disabling Mcafee but I am not sure that it would work. Other than that you could automate the install to run after your done with preping the system.

Cheers

Isilon and the HCL for 3.5

K-MaC — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:41:41 GMT

Hello. Just a heads up for anyone with Isilon storage. After doing some further investigation it appears that Isilon and VMware are testing now and the devices should be on the HCL sometime in August. Also the reason it is not on the HCL this time around is that VMware changed their storage stack, so all storage providers needed to re-qualify their devices.

Hope this is of some use to people out there.

Cheers

Kevin

See my last post. I have not assigned points to anyone as the person who provided the answer did so in another thread. If the admins could assign answer points to the user Haen it would be appreciated.
