How to use Update Manager

I am new to VMWare. I have 2 ESXi 5.5 hosts with 2 virtual machines(WS 2008R2) on one and 1 virtual machine(WS2008R2) on the other. I have VMWare VCenter Server installed on one of the windows vms that has the 2 vms. Update Manager is installed on that windows vm also. I do not have centralized storage. These windows vms are production servers. I have never updated these host. They have over 200 updates.
Question: How do I go about updating these host? I know the windows server vms have to be shut down. If I shut down the vm with Update Manager on it, how will it update the host its on? Should I allow every update to update? If not, how do you chose which updates to update. Is there a way to move these vms around when you don't have centralize storage?
I have had these questions out there for 2 days and no one seems to be able to answer them.
Can someone answer this one question: Is it possible to update the ESXi host that vCenter server is install on, with some sort of schedule that will shut down the vms(even the one that vCenter is install on) and put it in to maintenance mode and run the updates on the ESXi host.
Ok, here is how I did it:
I cloned the vm with vCenter Server on it. I put the clone on the other host.
I changed the ip address of the original server before I shut it down. I deleted the dns entry on my dns server that pointed to it and flush the cache.
I booted the clone and change the ip address and rebooted.(It will not let you use the ip address of the original server, it still sees the ip address of that server on the network).
Make sure you give the vCenter Server services enough time to come up before you log on.
You will loose connectivity to the Update Manager Plugin because of the ip address change. Follow these kb articles to fix that-kb 1013222,kb 1014639,2007398. Did not have any trouble with the fixes.
Once you get Update Manager running you can scan and do the update for the host.
You have to do your normal shut down the vms and put in maintenance mode to update.
After that shut down the clone and delete it.
Bring up the original vCenter Server and change the ip and reboot.
I answered this in case someone else runs across this problem.

Hi, I'm not familiar with that Mac feature since I don't use a Mac. However, you can go to this site and Install:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Also you can now use the automatic Flash Player notification for the Mac here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
With this, the next time Flash Player has an update you will receive a prompt and can choose to "Install now"/"Remind me later" or "Don't Install" I use it all of the time and the update is done in under 2 minutes!!
Hope that helps,

How to remove update manager from vcenter applicance

Long story, but, where update manager had been installed had to be rebuilt. I am now wanting to remove traces of it. When I look in vcenter it still looks as though it is queuing requests to look for udpates. How to stop vcenter from using update manager?
Thanks in advance... this is driving me crazy, I've spent a huge part of my day dealing with this.... thanks again..

For those who are interested, I resolved this by deleting the scheduled task in the vcenter web client.

How to use application managed entity manager in EJB?

I finish reading The EntityManager Interface in JEE tutorial.
I know I can use container manager entity manager in EJB, but I want to explore how to use application managed entity manager in EJB.
Can I use application managed entity manager in EJB (container management JTA transaction is used)? Where do I should close entity manager if can?
The following is an example from JEE tutorial, but didn't find where to calose entity manager. and can I create mutiple EntityManagerFactory objects and Entity Manager objects to use them in a JTA transaction?
@PersistenceUnit
EntityManagerFactory emf;
EntityManager em;
@Resource
UserTransaction utx;
em = emf.createEntityManager();
try {
utx.begin();
em.persist(SomeEntity);
em.merge(AnotherEntity);
em.remove(ThirdEntity);
utx.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
utx.rollback();

Seems like a very poor example, the whole power of EJBs is to use Container Managed Transactions so you don't NEED to manage the transaction and the entity manager yourself. What you posted is code I would expect in a non-JEE application, or in a piece of code which requires fine-tuned transaction boundaries such as batched data importing logic.
If I were you I'd research JPA in steps.
a) learn about JPA as an API outside of the scope of EJBs (recommended reading: the book 'Pro JPA 2')
b) learn about Container Managed Transactions in EJBs
c) learn about Bean Managed Transactions in EJBs
Right now you're rushing into c). I can understand that it raises many question marks at this point.

How do I install to JBuilder 2008 R2 using update manager.

I am trying to install OEPE 11g to JBuilder 2008 R2 using the update manager. JBuilder is now Eclipse based. I add the install site, select OEPE to install and get the following error.
Cannot complete the request. See the details.
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match
[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.objectweb.asm/[2.2.3,2.2.3]].
I tried the individual components to narrow down the conflict. I also made sure JBuilder was current. I am new to Eclipse and do not know how to resolve this error. Suggestions?
Trying to install:
Oracle Database Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Spring ORM Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Did install:
JSF Facelets Tools Incubator - 0.1.0.200807291102
Oracle Common Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle WebLogic Server Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Spring IDE Core (required) 2.2.0v200809261800 (JBuilder 2008 R2 comes with newer version, 2.2.1.v200811281800)

It seems the SpringIDE comes with JBuilder is not compatible with OEPE.
Try download the OEPE plugins from
http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/ganymede/oepe-ganymede-11.1.1.1.1.200904131333.zip
and unzip it into the /dropins folder of the JBuilder Eclispe installation directory. Then restart with -clean command line option.

How to use viewslifetime managed property to get the list of sites which are least accessed?

Hi,<o:p></o:p>
I am trying to get the subsites of a site collection which are least accessed. I am using ViewsLifeTime managed property in a content search web part with a condition like this:
ViewsLifeTime < 0
OR
ViewsLifeTime = 0.
However, It is not giving any results. I even tried with ViewsLifeTime < 10. I have some subsites which are accessed less than 10 times. I came to know this when I saw the value of ViewsLifeTime

Can anyone suggest how to add a condition on ViewsLifeTime property?
Thanks in advance.

How to use Template manager in Adobe Designer

Hi,
I am new to WebDynpro. I am trying to import templates in Webdynpro Adobe Designer.
In the Interactive Form Designer, there is a Menu called "Tools", which has option "Template Manager".
When I select a template there is only a buttion Set Selected as default after i click it but nothing happen!! Can anyone please let me know how to use the Template Manager?
Thanks.
Edited by: bo wang on Jan 15, 2008 9:34 AM

Yes, here you dont have option of using standard template. In this case, just right click on the Project name shown in WD perspective on the left hand side of screen and check the Projectlocation in Properties --> Info.
go to "Projectlocation"\src\configuration\Components. Here you can find the XDP file. Open this XDP file, in this XDP you have File option. Select the template, and save the file.
This change will appear in WD.
With regards,
Amit

How to use Cache Management Library (CML) for custom applications?

Hello,
We are planning the migration of multiple applications (J2EE, Portal, Web-Dynpro for Java) from 7.01 to 7.3 and we would like to replace some custom cache implementations with a central cache management provided by the SAP Web-AS Java.
Several SAP standard services (e.g. UME, Configuration Manager, Scheduler) seems to use the "Cache Management Library" (CML):
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/4a/f833eb306628d2e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
Such caches can be monitored using SAP Management Console (AS Java Caches).
Portal Runtime (cache_type=CML) and Web Page Composer can also be configured to use CML:
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/49/d822a779cf0e80e10000000a42189b/frameset.htm]
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2ru/helpdata/en/13/76db395a3140fcb17b8d24f5966766/frameset.htm]
So our questions:
How to use CML for custom applications?
Is there any example or documentation available?
Kind Regards,
Dirk

Thanks Vidyut! You've answered my question.
I placed the jar file in the $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib directory. But where should I place the taglib TLD file? And how should I reference it in web.xml?

How to use the Managed Review and Approval

Hi,
I'm a RIA Consultant at iDA MediaFoundry, Adobe Gold Partner in Belgium. I'm trying to figure out how the new solution accelerators work and how we can use them in the solutions that we develop for clients.
I'm a bit stuck though with the Managed Review and Approval solution accelerator. I cannot figure out how the application actually works, how it communicates with livecycle and how we can use this application in our projects for clients.
Does anyone have a tutorial or a document on how to use this solution accelerator? I know this is a rather big question, and the answer will be even bigger, but I really could use some help from anyone who knows how to use all this.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Kind regards,
Ronald Kamp

I would also suggest that you look at the resources on devnet.

as well as the downloads and full documentation http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/solutionaccelerators.html

How to use Update Statement in ODI Procedure

Hi,
How can I use an update statement inside an ODI procedure.
Thanks

Hi,
You do not need the BEGIN and END. ODI procedures are free text, so you can simply write your update statement, as you would in toad/sql developer etc etc. Just make sure you set the Technology and the logical schema. It is how ever best practice to also use the API:
<%=odiRef.getSchemaName("YOUR_LOGICAL_SCHEMA_NAME", "D")%>. to prefix tables. This way, you select data from different schema's in the same instance (as long a your user has the correct privs).

How to use Desktop Manager to synchronize several address books?

Customer found on BlackBerry device - address book options - there's 2 Desktop under Address Books. How to specify which address book will be synchronized with outlook via desktop manager as a wired sync?

Your having this issue, because at first, your blackberry was trying to sync via the BES, then you hooked it up to the desktop manager. The desktop managed then tried to sync the device over the wire via the desktop manager and turned of wireless sync, how do you wanna sync, wirelessly, or through the BES?
If you wanna do it through the BES, you have to delete desktop cmime, desktop sync and desktop cical and resent those from the server to get wireless sync back.
to get to servic book, go to settings/options/advanced options/service book and scroll to these service books and delete them, then from the bes manager, repush service books will resent them, this can take up to 15 minutes though.
If you wanna sync via the wire, just sync with the desktop manager, you should not be trying to do both
If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!
