Live Installer built on Virtual Machine

Hello,
I installed Arch on vmware fusion, with the attempt of setting up a system with my customized services ( ssh, ftp, among others ), and in the process of such learning about the distro.
In the end, I will like that once I am comfortable with my Arch setup in the virtual machine, that I could replicate the same into a real physical machine.
So, my question will be whether the Live CD create options available for Arch will allow me to do so, and if there may be any limitations since I will create the system "template" in a virtual machine.
Is there any recommended Live installer creator? Should I worry about virtual and physical hardware differences in specs/sizes, etc?
Thanks,

you should be able to dd the virtual blockdevice to a physical one, and increase the size of the last partition and filesystem to completely fill the disk.
then rebuild the initcpio.
if you have lvm, it's easier of course.
you can also make filesystems on the physical hardware, install grub in there, and rsync everything

    No entry is made on the cluster log of the destination node. 
    To me this means the nodes cannot talk to each other, but I don’t know why.  
    They are on the same domain.  Their server names resolve properly and they can ping eachother both by name and IP.

    Hello
    I'm planning to deploy a Siebel environment for testing purposes using Oracle Virtual Machines templates (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/siebel-092480.html). this template has been made to deploy Siebel CRM SIA 8.1.1.ENU and i need the  8.1.1.7 version with ENU and ESN languages
    My main questions are:
    after complete the Siebel installation using this template (8.1.1 ENU), is it possible to upgrade to 8.1.1.7 version? is it possible to add ESN language?

  • Move Exchange 2013 installation to new virtual machine

    Currently have: 1 virtual server - Server 2012 (DC, Global Catalog), Exchange 2013 CU1 installation (yes I know- dont install Exchange on DC etc etc ... ). Server2012/Exchange2013 is installed on one VMDK, EDB and logs are saved on another VMDK.
    Want to do: Create second virtual machine and install Server 2012 (different name), add it as a member to the same domain (also in the same network), install Exchange 2013, move all mailboxes to the new server, uninstall the old Exchange 2013. 
    Question is- is it possible to somehow unmount the existing database (I am only using one database for mailboxes and public folders) and mount it to the new server or do I have to create a new database on the new server and move the mailboxes there? I've
    heard that the Exchange EDB databases were supposed to be portable between same versions of Exchange. 
    Any advice is appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Agree with Andy, to avoid down time, we can depend on database portability.
    And here are the steps you can refer to:
    1. Install new Exchange server on the member server.
    2. Move Mailbox Database using Database Portability:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx
    3. Move the public folders (if any), re-home the offline address book, and move your SMTP connectors
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822931
    4. Remove the old Exchange server.
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm a bit confused on the instructions from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx- does step 4 instruct me to overwrite the newly created database (on the new server) with the old database and then mount it on the new server? Also, as the public folders are now in
    a mailbox on the same database- aren't they moved with the database without extra hassle?
    Also the link you gave me in Step 3 in your post refers to Exchange 2003.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Virtual Machines With Large RAM Fails Live Migration

    Hi everyone....
    I have a 2-node Hyper-V cluster managed by SCVMM 2012 R2.  I am current unable to migrate a VM that is using 48 GB of RAM.  Each node has 256 GB of RAM running Windows Server 2012 R2.
    When the VM is running on node 1; there is 154 GB in use, and 102 GB available.  When I try to migrate this VM to node 2, (which has 5.6 GB in use, and 250 GB available), I get this error message in VMM:
    Error (10698)
    The virtual machine (abc-defghi-vm) could not be live migrated to the virtual machine host (xyz-wnbc-nd03) using this cluster configuration.
    Recommended Action
    Check the cluster configuration and then try the operation again.
    (In case you were wondering, I ran the cluster validation and it passed without a problem.)
    The Failover Cluster event log shows two key entries:
    First:
    Cluster resource 'SCVMM xyz-wnbc-vm' in clustered role 'SCVMM xyz-wnbc-vm Resources' has transitioned from state OfflineCallIssued to state OfflinePending. 
    Exactly 60 seconds later, this message takes place:
    Cluster resource 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm in clustered role 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm Resources' rejected a move request to node 'xyz-wnbc-nd03'. The error code was '0x340031'.  Cluster resource 'SCVMM abc-defghi-vm' may be busy or in a state where it
    cannot be moved.  The cluster service may automatically retry the move.
    Nothing found after Googling "0x340031".  Does anyone know what error that is?
    Other notes:
    If the Virtual machine is shut down I can migrate it.
    If I lower the VM RAM settings and start it up again I can do a Live Migration.
    All other VMs can do the Live Migration; largest RAM size is 16GB.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Sir,
    Could you please check if  NUMA setting for every node are same via using perfmon.exe and using counter "Hyper-v VM Vid Numa Node " :
    >>and the virtual machine in question has it enabled as well.
    Could you please also post the NUMA setting of that VM for us ?
    Best Regards,

  • Should Windows 10 provide ease of use virtual machine to run Android, Windows XP, etc applications

    In Windows 7, I really like the easy access to Windows XP Mode that enabled me to have full compatibility to my older hardware scanner and its software (which I still use today).  Similarly, I love my Z30 Blackberry phone which allows me to run Android
    applications in addition to those from the Blackberry store.
    My suggestion for Windows 10 is to provide a built in virtual machine option (ease of use) that would allow my Windows machine to install and run the multitude of Android applications that are currently available.
    I believe an ease of use feature like this in Windows 10 would become a real differentiator for Windows eco systems, such as Windows Phones and Windows Surface and help promote sales and product adoption.  To me it is another way of looking at the product
    and making it the best in any world...  Kind of like running the MS Office product on a Mac.

    Microsoft Office for Mac was purposefully written for Macs, it doesn't use an emulator to run the PC version. Microsoft earns revenue from the sales of Microsoft Office for Mac.
    You're not going to see Microsoft going out of their way to enable running Android apps on Windows 10.

  • Windows in a virtual machine

    Hi,
    my new X200s comes with Vista Business preloaded and 3 CDs marked as "Windows XP Rescue and Recovery Disc", and "Windows XP Professional SP2 Product Recovery Disc 1 & 2", respectively. I want to repartition the disk, deleting Vista in the process, to install 64-bit Ubuntu linux, and then to install Windows XP either in VMware or VirtualBox virtual machine. The question is, are the provided CDs sufficient to make an XP installation in a virtual machine?
    Thanks for any hints.
    Jakub 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No, you cannot install XP in a virtual machine with the restore discs supplied with your machine. You will need a regular XP install cd and a valid key number. This has to do with the fact that the restore cd's would see a generic virtual machine BIOS instead of the actual Lenovo BIOS and refuse to install.

    RAM : 8 GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
    CPU : Intel CoreTM i5 I know Tim wrote interest article about RAC 11gR2 installation using Vmware on Linux, But, I really appreciate if someone have tried this on Windows 7 and provide me the steps since the installation of the virtual machines, setup of shared storage until installtion of the clusterware, ASM and the databases,
    Thanks a lot,

    thank you Werner,
    But, this article written by Tim is about installation based on linux as the OS of the host machine and Windows as the OS of the virtual ones.
    Just looking for an article about eveything based on windows,
    Cheers

  • Upgrading to VM Fusion 2 makes my Virtual Machine crash

    I upgraded to the second Beta of Fusion. My VM was suspended when I upgraded. After upgrading, trying to resume the VM causes Fusion to cash. I cannot end the VM, as far as I can tell, unless I resume it, and I need to upgrade the VM, per the install instructions. My bad on not following them.
    Any idea of how to solve this?
    I posted a question in the Fusion boards but no luck yet.
    Bryan

    Bryan:
    This one is a tough one. I am assuming that your Fusion was not using your Boot Camp installation as a Virtual Machine. If that were the case then you could have done some things after logging in to Windows without Fusion.
    Is there any way that you can install Fusion 1.1 back and resume the Virtual Machine and then upgrade again?

  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager SC VMM 2012 SP1 Installation fails: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in use.

    I'm trying to install VMM 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 machine and it fails with this error,
    the scenario is as follows,
    Old database (from 2012 RTM) exists on remote SQL 2012 SP1 server
    Server was 2008 R2 SP1 so I decided to make a fresh installation of 2012 with the same name
    installed ADK
    specific error: 01:42:13:VMMPostinstallProcessor threw an exception: Threw Exception.Type: Microsoft.VirtualManager.Setup.Exceptions.BackEndErrorException, Exception.Message: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in
    use.
    please help

    I had a similar problem today when upgrading from SCVMM 2012 RTM to SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM. To re-create the issue you describe originally you can actually just uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM with "retain data" option and re-install the software on the same
    computer (with the same name of course), attaching it to the retained DB. If you change the SCVMM server name I believe it will make some things go wrong after your install, like missing VM template passwords for example as the data gets encrypted in
    the DB. Maybe it didn't but I didn't risk it. I definitely know if you change service accounts on a scenario like this you will be without the encrypted DB data which isn't much fun. To avoid changing the computer name, if you look in the setup log
    files in %systemdrive%\ProgramData\VMMLogs\, specifically the SetupWizard.log file. You will see details on it failing because the same computer name is in the DB table "dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer" and until it is removed from that table I wasn't able to get
    the install to complete at all. The error in my logs looked something like this "InnerException.Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException, InnerException.Message: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'unique_ADHC_AgentServer_ComputerName'. Cannot insert duplicate
    key in object 'dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer'. The duplicate key value is (computername.is.writtenhere). The statement has been terminated." In the row data in the DB it also seems to suggest that the computer name had "Virtual Machine Manager Library Files" on
    it which is strange since I always remove the local SCVMM server as a library server after I install it and use an off box library server.

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.
