You need to review the class overview and take the quiz I believe.

I'd like to set up a virtual environment for my newphew so that he can use my computer and have free reign over the OS without being able to gently caress anything up. Is there any way to have a VM startup and lock him into it when he logs on to a profile on my computer? I guess having the VM startup on logon would be easy, so really I'm looking for VM software that supports locking a user into it and not being able to interact with the host. Any ideas?

This week has been a nightmare. However, I have produced some interesting facts about a single VM that runs in our environment. 8 vCPU, 112GB RAM - This server puts more stress on our storage than another one of our hosts running 51 VMs with 166 vCPUs total. Right now, it is issuing out double the commands per second, reads/writes per second than the host with 51 VMs.

I believe Windows 7 will actually allow you to do this. You can create a VHD with a second instance of Windows 7 and have that sitting on your hard drive, then setup the bootloader to present it as an option on startup (you could also do it in say virtualbox and just run full screen, though it would be slower). http://blogs.msdn.com/b/knom/archive/2009/04/07/windows-7-vhd-boot-setup-guideline.aspx Unrelated to this question but related to the thread, does anyone know of a good 'cloud' provider in the UK? It looks like amazon runs their stuff out of Ireland which won't do the trick. I've seen a few most likely fly by night operations around the $30/month $.10 an hour range with like 20gig space/512 meg ram which is kinda meh (especially with a lack of reputation). The nunhosting guy from SAMART is Buffalo, NY only. My usage isn't huge, it's literally just for a squid/ip bounce that I can spin up on demand to test some applications I'm working on and watch BBC online. Probably max out around 5 users at most (I work with a bunch of Brits). Ganson fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Oct 23, 2013 |

Dilbert As gently caress posted:I have no idea where he is getting that information, limiting JVM's that are asking for an amount of ram to run effectively is going to cause you a bunch of poo poo. Honestly, Limiting the JVM settings would be my last resort. On your environment I would be saying 12GB and 2 vCPU's(maybe 3) for vCenter. loving around with the JVM size is really the last thing you should do unless you are constrained on resources. Also is by chance SQL running on the same VM? If so SQL might be trying to use as much ram as possible, I have found limiting the amount of ram it uses does help(by default it caches a very large amount of system ram), this can be done in Studio Manager. Just a follow-up to my JVM heap size decrease/memory increase battle: now that I'm off-shift the infra architect has pushed the change forward and they are going ahead with decreasing the JVM heap sizes to those dangerously low values. The guy is a loving moron; the change implementer asked him if there was any special shutdown procedure as it is running vCenter Heartbeat and the infra architect just said "nah just reboot it nothing special". poo poo's going to completely collapse. Glad I'm not on shift. Edit: last night I ran a data collector in Perfmon on the active node and over a period of one hour the average number of page faults per second was 1,700+.

Was attempting to avoid restarting the computer for the solution, but maybe that is the best way. Anyone else have input input? E: it also just struck me that if I was going to do this then there's really no need to virtualize. I'd just install the second OS traditionally and let him gently caress it up however he wants, then just re-image it when it gets too hosed.

Does VMware have a GA mailing list or something to let us know when new downloads land? vCOPS 5.8 looks awesome and I really want to deploy it ASAP.

Java 7 Update 45 breaks the Cisco UCS control panel. http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCuj84421 Workaround according to Cisco? Use Java version 7 update 40 or below. There's no patch yet and I assume it's a few weeks out at least.

First week of the Stanly Community College VMware class down - the first three modules are pretty rudimentary, but there are signs that the class should be picking up in the complexity and interest level in the following weeks.

The HTML5 client is only on Mac right now, but apparently you can use the HTML5 console on every OS in a rather unsupported manner. http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2013/09/how-to-generate-pre-authenticated-html5.html

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been contributing to this thread which I have been powering through over the last 2 months, it has been super helpful to get some idea of what other people's environments look like and the troubles that have been encountered. Our VMware guy jumped ship 2 weeks ago so I was "promoted" to being in charge of 50+ hosts, including a half-setup AutoDeploy environment. It's cool, I took the ICM class so I guess I am an expert right  In all honesty though I'm super thrilled by the technology and the learning opportunities and look forward to contributing here/posting stupid questions that I will doubtlessly be ridiculed for asking.

Is there a good "Hyper-V for VMware dudes" primer? Most of the stuff is pretty straightforward but I'd love to read something that approaches teaching the material from that angle. I got my first Hyper-V client today and I spent most of the day shadowing our Hyper-V mans around going "ah ok" and "oh I gotcha" after everything they said. Not too bad, but I definitely don't want to touch without more reading.
