If we want to have the new VMware virtualization technology, vSphere, with the new version of VMware ESX hosts, we will need to update our VMware vCenter Server virtual infrastructure management server. And this will have to be updated before updating our ESX host to the latest version. This procedure shows the steps to upgrade a VMware VirtualCenter server from the release 2.5 to the 4.0.
VMware SiteSurvey and CPU Identification Utility are two VMware utilities that will show us the compatibility of our hardware to check if we can support VMware vSphere or ESX on our hosts 4.0 with all its features, since in order to use Fault Tolerance (For example) we must meet some CPU requirements.
It's a bit simple, But I have met some clients who had not done it and it is really important, simply that we will have to take it into account when we upgrade our VMware ESX infrastructure, from a 3.x version to the 4.0. We will have to update the VMware Tools on the computers first and then update the Hardware version of the VMs.
I have wanted to publish this document for a long time, where with a simple software called USB over Network (HTTP://www.usb-over-network.com/usb-over-network.html) We can share USB devices over the Ethernet network, This is, We can have on the physical server (in the VirtualCenter or VCB x example) a server with multiple USB adapters or extending it with PCI devices… plug the USB devices needed by the virtual machines into this hardware and share it over the network; in the VMs a client software is installed that will make them connect to this USB server. Apart from this software there are also other solutions, but personally they are not as fast as they are. If we are looking for a hardware solution I would review AnywhereUSB (HTTP://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb.jsp).
In this document, I will try to explain how to make advanced use of the Virtual Floppy in a Virtual Machine, either with VMWare Workstation, Server, ESX or ESXi. In the beginning, We will no longer need the use of this support, But we all know, that on certain occasions, The easiest thing would be to take a floppy drive with us 3 1/2 USB on top. With this procedure, We learn how to create an image in .flp with drivers, or a boot floppy disk for later use on the VM.
In this document I will explain the basic installation and configuration of the 3CX free PBX as well as the configuration of the Linksys SPA3102 Gateway to allow incoming and outgoing calls from a PSTN analog line. First of all, Get the files to install. You have the free version on the official 3CX website (HTTP://www.3cx.es/). The PBX can be installed on a WinXP or Server2003 machine. In theory, also about Vista and 2008 but personally, I haven't tried them. We will run the services on a WinXP and test the client with a View. Prior to installation, we must have available in the .Net Framework 2.0.
Vtools is ideal for managing our VMware Infrastructure-based virtual environment, or what is the same, for VMware VirtualCenter or VMware ESX server, only supports version 2.x of VirtualCenter and 3.x of lost host ESX. With this free tool, we can manage generic information about virtual machines, your virtual CPU's, your virtual RAM, Your Virtual Hard Drives, Your Virtual Networks, your virtual CD drives, Virtual floppy drives, Snapshots and the most important thing for me, The status of VMware Tools!!! So we can both disconnect CD drives or floppy drives and update the VMware Tools together!!
This document shows certain configurations that should be taken into account if we try to virtualize Citrix XenApp (o Citrix Presentation Server) at VMware ESX.
VCB or Virtual Consolidated Backup is the ideal way to back up VMware's virtual environment. In this document, we'll show you how to configure VCBs to back up the virtual machines you're interested in, are complete copies of the VC or copies of their contents. We will also integrate VCB with Symantec Backup Exec. VMware Consolidated Backup is an easy-to-use, centralized backup program that incorporates the best features of both options. Provides file-by-file backup without the need for a backup agent, and supports incremental and full file protection.
Good, primer documento en formato WordPress, a ver que tal va 😉 En este documento se muestra cómo utilizar VMware Update Manager para mantener actualizados todas nuestras máquinas virtuales y los hosts con VMware ESX. En un documento anterior se comenta cómo se instala y cómo se habilita el plugin (HTTP://www.bujarra.com/?p=1115), en la instalación del VirtualCenter escojeremos si instalamos el componente de VirtualCenter o no. Well, Start,
