Here is my question details: We have an EMC AX 4 with 1 initial Virtual disk of 2,2TB shared with 2 ESX and 1 VCenter (physical Windows Server 2003). Acidentally the same VMFS Datastore LUN has been shared with the Virtual Center Server and formatted as a Basic Disk NTFS. Obviously we now see all the VMs as inacessible and trying to add the lost Datastore it gives the message: We have tried to use some tools but without sucess, parted is the one we are trying to use (the command parted rescue start end), since the actual partition seen by ESX us an EFI GPT/Basic Disk/NTFS – cant be changed or corrected via fdisk. Can anybody help or suggest any tools for undeletion, etc?? Regards.

I installed Windows 7 32-bit on a iMAC using VM Fusion 3.0.2. a few weeks later my son installed Windows 7 64-bit, on the same iMAC, using Boot Camp. I noticed on my Windows 7 64-bit that I have 2 days before automatic activation takes place, so I tried to "ACTIVATE NOW" but I received a Microsoft message 'THE ACTIVATION SERVER DETERMINED THAT THE SPECIFIED PRODUCT KEY COULD NOT BE USED" .. .. I then went to my VM Ware and deleted the Windows 7 32-bit VM. My question is: By deleting the Win 7 32-bit from VMware does that also DEACTIVATE it from Microsoft?

If I install an application in an operating system running in a VM (be it Fusion or Workstation) and I want to learn exactly which files were changed between the out-of-box VM and the post-install VM, what tools does VMWare provide to perform this task? Thanks.

Taking event Management to the cloud?? Events in the form of any sports and movies / music??

Internet Infrastructure needs all the solutions provided by VmWare. Some markets mentioned above may be offered the basic/expected product while others may require augmented product. Most of the people with high penetration levels are in-habited to the desktop applications popular today. They need to be migrated to the VmWare world by providing high value products.There is a lot of market yet to know about the computing and value is introduction to computing/internet, vmware can provide offerings with their existing products.It is even better for VmWare for this market to make VmWare solutions as an habit - educating customers today and building a broad customer base. Develop brand equity before it is lot more dearer tommorrow. The social networking websites are growing at phenomenal rate. The World’s Youth Population, Ages 15 to 24, Will Become More and More Concentrated in Africa and Asia - Educating / attracting folks towards vmware solutions?? A $ or few cents per head ???

VMware : VMware Player free Host : Desktop CPU : Intel core 2 quad q8300 2.5GHz RAM : DDR 2 2GB HDD : SATA WD Caviar 120GB OS : Windows XP Pro sp2 Event : Incidentally tried VMware Player last night. Everything turned out very well. But it was carried out on top of another virtualization already existing in my computer. Question : Can the VM virtualization be re-stored into another partition or a flash-disk ? How if it can be done? Thanks !

Has anyone successfully setup ESX 4 on Windows Storage Server 2008? I seem to be having difficulty finding any definitive documentation on how to set this up. I see a ton of posts on esx 3.0 and 3.5 on WSS 2003 but nothing on WSS 2008. I would like to used iSCSI if possible but since Windows cannot see a VMFS file system I don't think it will be possible and I can't seem to get connected to the NFS Shares I create. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

VMWare or Xen? By Mark Sear 2 days ago Stop following Follow discussion | 32 comments » It may be easier to decide for a product that can be most leveraged for the features of an operating system like availability of application,storage; consolidation;high availability;logging;security;resource optimization besides the legacy features and also hosts all the popular os's and applications available. standards based good platform to port existing applications, write new applications for easy maintainability,agility.Cut most of the operational costs and increase efficiency of developing new applications.

Hi all, very new to virtualisation, have a server which is currently looking to replace and buy a new one, the server is a single processor and has about 4gb ram, nothing major but would like to put esxi 3.5/4.0 on it and import the server as a virtual machine and run it like that, no vmotion, no ha, no drs, just a single virtual machine, might put a second virtual machine on it in the future, but that is way down the line. My question is I have been looking at the hardware compatability documents and the server is Dell Power Edge 2850, it says it is compatible but only with certain processors, does this mean the VMotion, HA,DRS wont work or VMWare will not work at all? I am confused as to what is compatable and what isnt and which service is compatable, also can I do this free of charge or do I need licensing? Sorry for all the questions, but I am new to this and getting varied responses from my current third party support, so thought I would go to the source?! Thanks John
