New WCS Install - VMWare

Quick question (I hope): I'm installing WCS for the first time on a VMWare server. The server and Vmachine all meet the requirements outlined in the WCS documentation, however I'm unsure which version of WCS I should start with.
4.2.111.0 MD is shown as the latest release but there are several ED versions up to 5.2.130.0.
I am running 4404 WLC's with 1131AG Access Points. The WLC's are running 5.1.151.0.
Which would be the best, stable version to go with?

Stability of WCS is not an issue I generally worry about. If a controller goes down, you lose your wireless. If WCS goes down, you reboot it and go get some coffee and nobody knows the difference.
In other words, I always install the most current version of WCS which will support my controller version.

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL 4-kernel 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELhugemem

All
I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.1.2-301548.i386.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message:
before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:
kernel headers 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem
kernel headers for version 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem were not found...
I've already searched both on google and on Oracle website for a package containing this version of kernel headers, but didn't find them.
I've did an up2date -i kernel-devel, some kernel headers got installed, but it seems they are at the wrong version:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# ls -la /usr/src/kernels/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 4 2008 ..
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 1 09:42 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Nov 2 06:59 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-i686
As far as I can see, I have two paths for solving this:
1: update the running kernel to 2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL-hugemem-i686 - in order to do that I'll have to restart the machine, which is quite risky because this is an important machine used for many projects and I do not have physical access to it; in case something goes wrong I'll have to make an SR to the GIT guys, and pray for a quick resolution
2. find this particular version on kernel headers (2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELHugemem), install them in a non-standard location and then point vmplayer installer to that location in order to compile and plug them into the running kernel
Questions:
- If I choose the 2nd path:
-- where can I find this particular kernel headers version?
-- after vmplayer compiles them, will it request a machine restart, or plugging them into the running kernel will be possible without restart?
-- I already did an up2date -u, so the entire system excepting the running kernel is updated to whatever is in Oracle's internal repositories. Will this conflict somehow with an older running kernel and modules?
-If I choose the 1th path (update the kernel itself and reboot the machine):
-- will then vmplayer be able to compile and install the kernel modules without asking for another restart?
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Any idea is appreciated, even pointing me to someone in Oracle that might help (I am an Oracle employee) would be useful.
Regards
Serban

Thanks for your reply Joe. I did not realise that I shall search for the package name without "ELHugemem" part since the headers are probably the same. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.
So I downloaded the i686 package, but now I get this message:
[root@dscdap01 ~]# rpm -iv kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm
warning: kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2
Preparing packages for installation...
package kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.31.1.0.1.EL (which is newer than kernel-devel-2.6.9-78.0.1.EL) is already installed
I am not sure if I shall do a "rpm -ivf" for this package, forcing it to install. Will this command install the package alongside the existing one, or will it overwrite it? My guess is that it will install it alongside the existing one, but since this system is an important one I would prefer to ask before doing any stupid mistake...

Installing vmware failure

I have windows 8.1 with all latest updates, intel I7 4820 quad, 3.7 ghz, 32 gigabytes ddr5 ram.
I recently purchased the latest version of VMware, version 11. Uninstalled version 6 which was working ok, but when I tried to install version 11 I got the error, "have detected a prior version of VMware, click below to uninstall." Doing
so produced the error , "uninstall can not proceed, does not have the permissions to access folder" Checking showed the previous version had already been uninstalled, and no files were left in programs 86 folder, or in any other folder. After going
through applications folders, local, roaming,etc I then went through the register to delete any entries that might have missed as is usual when uninstalling an application. I ran sfc/scannow several times, retrying to install the new version afterwards. The
installer now starts to install and goes almost all the way before stopping with "warning 1909, cannot create shortcut virtual network editor.lnk Verify destination folder exists and that you can access it. Then another pops up warning
error 1909 "cannot create shortcut vmwork station.lnk Verify destination folder exists and that you can access it. Then "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. the
error code is 2902" I have downloaded the package 4 different times, all with the same error. And also tried different versions of the program with the same problem. This started out with permissions problems, and I have taken steps to cure those, and
even contacted the program authors, and was told it is a Microsoft installer problem. Anyone out there ever ran into this one or similar problem and have any suggestions I haven't tried yet? I was referred here from another Microsoft forum, and have
another update. I have run "sfc /scannow" quite a few times now. Each time supposedly find a few corrupted files and corrected them. The original errors had to do with permissions, and after much searching, reading, and applying suggested solutions
seemed to have taken care of the permission problem. Just reran "sfc" and now I have the permission problem back. I have done everything I can to correct it, but the installer still errors on "not enough permissions to access folders".
I have downloaded the package 4 different times to preclude a corrupted download. Applied every suggestion received, and everything short of reinstalling window. I have many programs installed and most are paid applications that make it very difficult
to reregister after reinstalling, especially without having to repay for the application when doing so. So reinstalling windows would be a last resort. Any help would be appreciated. I have used "take ownership", changed permissions on almost every
folder on my computer that is involved with the windows OS, etc.

MeipoXu;
No, the VMware package will not install, the error messages are:
"warning 1909, cannot create shortcut virtual network editor.lnk Verify destination folder exists and that you can access it." and: " warning error 1909 "cannot create shortcut vmwork station.lnk Verify destination folder exists
and that you can access it. Then "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. the error code is 2902"
Have already created another administrator account with all privileges, and same results when trying to install VMware. Package was redownloaded 4 times in case of corrupted package, I even used the same package and installed it on "windows 10 preview"
where it works fine (but this is temporary until win 10 is officially released). All folders and files involved have been given full permissions, used "take ownership" also on everything involved. Used the tool you suggested previously, it found
nothing wrong and exited with no corrections performed. Other than reinstalling windows 8.1 with full fresh install, I see no answer to this. I do not want to do that as I have too many applications installed that I have paid for. Every time I do reinstall
windows(in the past) I lose some of these applications because the authors want me to repurchase the application in order to get another activation code.
I also have been posting on the VMware site the same as I have here. Their official view of this is it is a windows installer problem and not VMware caused. The people there have also been trying to help me as best as they can. I appreciate both sites and
the people on each that have tried to help.
I have windows defender only installed and deactivate it each time I try to install the package. I'm stumped!
One word forward, when I come across a problem I use Google (internet searching) all forums from companies involved and any other sources that might possibly be helpful. If all these do not produce any answer, then and only then will I open a post on
involved web sites asking for help. I don't post all these efforts as it would take up too much space on the forum, so please bear with me on this.

Trying to install Vmware Player on OEL and running into an error

All
I need to run a preconfigured Vmware VM on one of ours Enterprise Linux servers. I've already installed VMware-Player-3.13.*.bundle on the machine, no error message, but now when I try to run vmplayer I am getting the following message :
before you can run vmware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Thanks Avi for the pointer.
I did a 'sudo -su ' and ran 'rpm -ivh kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.EL.i686.rpm' and it went through successfully.
But then when I launched VMPlayer, a popup came up saying " Before you run VMWare, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.". I clicked on 'Install' to continue.
Another popup came up saying "Failed to run /usr/bin/vmware-gksu '/usr/bin/vmware-modconfig' --icon='vmware-player' --appname='VMware' --gcc='/usr/bin/gcc' --headers='/lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.0.0.1.ELxenU/build/include' --gcc-ignore-minor as user root. Failed to exec new process. No such file or directory."
And then I had to exit.
This is the log contents when VMPlayer was run :

I have installed VMware Fusion but having trouble with Calyx Point software and was told Bootcamp needed to be installed. Will I not have to uninstall Calyx, VMWare and Windows 7 prior to installing Bootcamp?

I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and I really like it. However, for my job I have to use Calyx Point software which has to be ran on the Windows side, so they sold me VMware Fusion software. It works fine until I try to save a PDF or email docs. I have called Calyx and they have advised me that bootcamp works. I am wondering if this is going to help and since I have already installed VMware am I not going to have to uninstall that program, Windows and Point and then install bootcamp and reinstall Windows and Point? If I'm beating my head against the wall, and just need to return the laptop, then that's what I will do, but I sure hate to as I really like my Mac.

Checked VMware Fusion Community Forum?
Most install Windows (natively) and then 'attach' the (Boot Camp) partition to Fusion.
that way you can dual boot and run Windows natively when needed, and run Windows as a Guest OS VM under Mac OS.
But.... and I don't know about Calyx, doing things like save pdf and email should work fine same as usual.
Maybe there is something you didn't or need to do to Fusion (Tools or install Acrobat) or in configuring.
I used Fusion but found I prefered running Windows natively at the time.
If you do need to use one install in both manners, then you need to do through and partition your drive and reinstall Windows that way, and only then attach Fusion to it.
If you need to run Windows for work, I'd exchange it - especially if you have only had it a couple days, and get another. There are a lot of new laptops coming out in the next months that look nice, fast and won't have some of the issues you run into with Windows on a Mac.

Unable to install vmware tool

Hi,
How do i install vmware tools? I am new to linux. Reading through various other posts, when i try to install headers i get an error message no package available.

You are using the Oracle UEK kernel. Try yum install kernel-uek-devel kernel-uek-headers. For this of course you will need to have ULN access or public yum configured according to http://public-yum.oracle.com

New MacBook Air & VMware Fusion Performance

Need to make a decision. Has anyone installed VMware Fusion on the new MacBook Air? If so, is the performance acceptable? I have heard the previous Airs were from from acceptable. Thanks in advance.
DrB

I have heard the previous Airs were from from acceptable.
If the opinion is based on on the users' attempt to play a 3D game, I'd agree: far from acceptable. The biggest failing of virtualization is graphics and since the MBA uses integrated graphics that effect is multiplied. However I've used VMWare and Parallels Desktop to run Windows 7 and Office 2010, for programming, surfing, and other less taxing programs with acceptable results. Acceptable enough that I've not had the desire to utilize BootCamp.
And in deference to SP Forsythe's comment about not using a Mac, several of my Windows using friends believe the MBA is the best Windows computer ever made.

No Protocol Specified when I install VMware Play 4.0.1

Hi .. i'm new in arch and i install it with xfce and in this desktop i install vmware 4 without problem but .. when i install KDE vmware didn't work ... appears a window with a message saying that it need root pass .. but it doesn't work ... finally i decide to uninstall vmware and install it again .. but appear "No Protocol Specified" in the terminal and install it in console mode but the same problem appears again..
i don't know what happen but i can't use vmware ...
thanks for your time..

Yes, yes, all of the usual. I'm posting here so just in case someone knows what usually causes this:
Caught signal 11
If it's plist files that could cause it or running programs, etc. I'm not looking for any assistance with standard troubleshooting techniques but thanks for the thought.
Eventually I'll either purchase it (since it works on my iMac just fine) and open a case or give up and stay with 3.1.3 until a later version comes out.
Again thanks for the assistance.
UPDATE:
Finally got access to VMTN, posted this below:

New Infinity install and Philips Smart TV

Any ideas on how to resolve my connection issue. I have a Philips smart TV which until I had Infinity and the new HH3 installed on Thurs(7th Feb.) connected without any issues with my previous supplier's BB (Sky). Tv is connected and finding net ok but cant/wont connect to Smart Tv. I've enabled Port clamping as advised in other posts but still no joy. Any other suggestions appreciated. I pretty sure its not a TV issue as It worked no problems pre Infinity and TV is as up to date as you can get,Software update etc.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I have the same problem with a Philips 40pfl8605 and a home hub 3 (but not the infinity package). the tv connects to the router, either wirelessly or via ethernet, but will not load Net TV. I get an error message which says 'Philips server not found. Try again later).
Keith, I'm on my home network now but you're link wouldn't open a few minutes ago. I can't work out how to message you directly on this forum, but if you can send me the content of that link on the thread, i'd be grateful. I'm pretty sure this problem stems from the router as the Net TV has connected in the past, when I've had a netgear router. Philips have been useless and after running through standard checklists such as clearing the Net TV memory, reinstalling software (which is up-to-date) etc, simply advised to send the (3yr-old) tv for repair.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to. How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it. Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
You need much more RAM than that.
