Virtual Machine Question

I am trying to get "Apple Support Certified" and need a machine running OS X (10.6) to study on. Can I purchase another license of OS X and run it as a VM using Parallels or VMWare on my Mac Book Pro? Thanks.

No, it won't. There are no license keys for the client version of Mac OS X; Apple uses the honor system for that product.

Webcenter PS3 pre-build virtual machine question

Experts,
I have following queries regarding VM for web center
1) What are the limitation of using pre-build virtual machine for development/testing environment compared to standard installation?
2) What are the webcenter features not supported by pre-build WC VM but is supported in standard installation?
I am thinking of using pre-build WC VM for development and testing environment. So, want to know the limitation before using it.
Appreciate any help on this.
Ashish
P.S - Standard installation is installing DB (using RCU), weblogic & webcenter suite.

The pre build is very good for demonstration purpose. You can do some development on it but i don't think this is recommended.
The pre build machine is just a plain installation with a DB, weblogic and webcenter suite. If you create your own VM with the same software, than there is not much difference between the pre build machine.
If you don't plan on using a real server for your development purpose than you can use the pre build machine. I don't know if it is allowed so maybe you should check this with Oracle. There isn't a real difference between an installation that you will do an the pre build machine to technicaly, you could use it... Licence wise... you should check it with Oracle.

Connect to a guest Virtual Machine question

I'm new to Oracle VM and i have a question. If you have installed to a server Oracle VM 3.1.1 and then you have a second physical machine with your VM Manager in it and you have created several virtual guest machines with Linux, Windows and etc...
Can a third machine let say a laptop with either Linux or Windows installed have remote access to the virtual guest machines through a vnc or remote desktop(windows) connection????

The answer depends. You can isolate your guests Operating Systems but it sounds you don't want to.
A guest operates just like it would if it was a physical server. Yes. you can ssh,scp,ftp and etc into a guest Linux server if you have these things configured on your guest. The console feature of the VM Manager uses VNC to redirect the console graphics output to the VNC viewer using a java applet that acts likes a proxy.
It works the same way on windows. However, you can also remote desktop directly into the guest windows server if you have RDP enabled on that server.
If you do not install these features in the guest OS... then there is nothing in the VM Manager to enable such connections directly to the guest host. The only thing that is redirected graphically is the graphics output via VNC and this is only done through the VM Manager or Enterprise Manager 12c.

Question on potential configurations for resource cluster as virtual machine server / beowulf / render farm

I am looking for a starting point on where to focus my efforts in researching a desired configuration. Of course anyone who spends anytime researching in forums knows that one thing that people hate is for people
to ask questions that can be easily answered with a simple Google search, so let me start by saying I have done many hours of research on this already. The problem I am having is that although there is a huge amount of information out there on what I
am looking to do, I don't believe many people have attempted this on as small of a scale as a single user system. Also, the amount of routes to go down seems endless, which for me so far has led to many hours of wasted trial and error. So keep
in mind that I am not so much looking for a handout on answers but rather a more narrowed path of searching and researching.
What I am looking to do is take the current equipment that I have and consolidate it into a 9-12U server rack using mounted 2 or 3U atx cases so that I can have a more organized, space saving setup. That is the
easy part, what I have been looking into though is the combining of cores and processing power to make a "super computer" yet I use this term very loosely. From what I have read, the closest thing I can compare the idea in my head to is referred
to as a Beowulf Cluster, or a Render farm but I believe as the name suggests that this is more dedicated to a single task of rendering. I like the idea of a virtual machine server where I would never actually locally use this machine but rather set up
many virtual machines that I can remote into. I started to compile a ProxMox Server, and this was the right idea, however when running a VM, that VM is constrained to the hardware resources of the single node that it is assigned to. If there is
a way to be able to have a machine that would utilize the 20 some odd cores that I would have in the cluster, along with the 40-50 gigs of ram, well that would be ideal but sounds too good to be possible. Also, ProxMox isnt quite there in compatibility for
a home/home office user. I understand that the programs that are used have to be written in a way where the architecture allows for such, but if it could even be used for speeding up my render time with Adobe and Autodesk (which I know do have such functionality)
that would be wonderful.
So without writing a whole book I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed. Can I literally build a "super computer" that is not really that super... more mediocre super... or am I better off just consolidating the hardware but not the
OS's and programs. Also, I do currently use three or four different distros of Linux, mostly for ethical hacking and security type work like pen testing. One thing I have never been a fan of though is dual booting. Perhaps investing
in a hot-swap HDD chassis that I could load all the different OS's on where I could just pop in whatever OS I am looking to use. As you can see I am far from knowing where to spend my efforts in research.... THANK YOu for ANY help.
I was recently suggested Microsoft HPC Pack as a platform? Anything?
Here is what I currently have:
these are all fully built)

Nothing Special - this is the one I was using for school work but being that school and programming became one and the same I have all but abandoned it.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO HAS MADE IT THIS FAR in reading this.

The cluster works only for standalone webcache and httpserver installations types.
If you want to do this you have to use dcmctl command to change from one farm to another.
try checking with dcmctl command with out options an dyou will get a full list of options.
then run dcmctl usage(orhelp) option to see what you need.
As far as I remember
you have to check the farm id of the server you want to be the master
then in the second, you have to run dcmctl joinfarm or something like that.
Regards.

Saving files and future Java Virtual Machine updates questions

So I've made A program that keeps a list of Ingredients and Recipes for my dads small business. This program is currently on 3 computers my dads, the secretaries, and mine. I made it so it saved and loaded from a shared folder in the network where all the computers has access. The secretary and my dads computer saved and loaded the program fine with changes from one to the other, but mine wouldn't. If I save what information I put on my computer the other computers could no longer load the save file. If i saved something on the secretary or dads computer then my computer would not be able to load the file.
well i solved this problem by re downloading Java virtual machine on my computer.
this brings me to my question:
Will future virtual machine updates make it so the program can't read old .dat files (I've been using ObjectInputStreams and ObjectOutputStreams to save and load)
Sorry for the long story before the question I just wanted to state how I came to the question.

Yes, absolutely. That is one of the problems with using serialization to save data. Fortunately the serialization tutorial mentions it and explains some strategies for minimizing the problem. So have a look at that tutorial.

Question about java virtual machine

Hi,
Recently I met a strange conflict. I used Netbean to build a project and execute this project very well. However, when I opened a command window promt and tried to use the default command 'java' to execute my main class, the virtual machine reported a list of classload exceptions.
My question is : how could we execute a project built by a IDE such as Netbean using the default command 'java', or if we could use the default java compiler javac to build a project?
Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
Song

You should learn to use the javac/java command line tools. You're getting those errors because your classpath is wrong. The IDE might have additional library classes it uses and you need to explicitly include those when you compile and run your project outside the IDE.
So you would need to do for example:
java -cp .;lib/somelib.jar;lib/otherlib.jar com.mycompany.MyMainClass
Read up on classpath, if you ever want to become a serious programmer, you'll need to know what it does.

Multi-"Machine" Activation Question: Virtual Machines

Hi,
I am developing plugins and have the need to test with a wide range of Photoshop versions on a wide range of operating systems.
At the moment I'm accomplishing this through the use of VMware virtual machines. I have a powerful 64 bit host workstation running Vista x64 and have created virtual machines for XP Pro, Vista 32 bit, Win7 RC, and Win7 retail. Virtualization saves me from having to build a lab full of test hardware.
I have the desire to test with versions 6 through CS4... I haven't yet gone through the process of installing all the versions of Photoshop on all these VMs; just a few, which is probably covered under the 2 activations limit... My question is this:
Will Adobe consider it a separate activation for each virtual machine? Can they be "sweet talked" into allowing more? I am running them all on one computer, and (generally speaking) using only one at a time.
From what I can see the software will not realize this is one and the same computer, since the virtualization environment does a good job of convincing the OS that it's a completely separate computer... I suppose I will forge ahead and call Adobe... Adobe phone contact is not touted to be much of an easy or rewarding thing from what I hear.
Any advice on how to proceed with setting up a decent testing environment to support long-term multi-platform testing would be great.
Thanks in advance.

I would read this attached page. We are pretty much users like you and cannot speak for adobe or how they might react to your question. Calling them is the only option.

Backing up virtual machines in Hyper-V: theory question

Hello!
This article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405549%28v=vs.85%29.aspx says:
"Hyper-V uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to backup and restore virtual machines (VMs).
If the backup (volume snapshot) integration services are installed in the guest operating system, a VSS requester is installed that will allow VSS writers in the guest operating system to participate in the backup of the VM. "
Backing Up the Virtual Machines
Hyper-V uses one of two mechanisms to back up each VM. The default backup mechanism is called the "Saved State" method, where the VM is put into a saved state during the processing of the PrepareForSnapshot event,snapshots
are taken of the appropriate volumes, and the VM is returned to the previous state during the processing of the PostSnapshot event."
The other backup mechanism is called the "Child VM Snapshot" method, which uses VSS inside the child VM to participate in the backup....
Backup (volume snapshot) Integration Service is installed and running in the child VM.
The child VM must be in the running state."
Putting it all together: the backup integration services are installed in the guest operating systems by default (at least in Win2008-2012R2), but "The default backup mechanism is called the "Saved State" method,...",
wich does NOT use child vm snapshot creation. It means that checking the "Backup (volume checkpoint)" checkbox changes nothing (at least with running VMs) because the default method is "Saved state":
Q1: if the default method is "Saved state" and my VMs are running what should I do to take a backup by using
"Child VM Snapshot" method?
Q2: is there any difference between a backup created by method 1 and method 2?
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi,
The two backup mechanisms used in the different backup scenario:
Short to say is:
Perform a backup from the server running Hyper-V
(host).
Perform a backup from
within the guest operating system of a virtual machine.
The detail explain is:
There are two basic methods you can use to perform a backup. You can:
Perform a backup from the server running Hyper-V. We recommend that you use this method to perform a full server backup because it captures more data than the other method. If the backup application is compatible with Hyper-V and the Hyper-V
VSS writer, you can perform a full server backup that helps protect all of the data required to fully restore the server, except the virtual networks. The data included in such a backup includes the configuration of virtual machines, snapshots associated with
the virtual machines, and virtual hard disks used by the virtual machines. As a result, using this method can make it easier to recover the server if you need to, because you do not have to recreate virtual machines or reinstall Hyper-V. However, virtual networks
are not included in a full server backup. You will need to reconfigure the virtual networking by recreating the virtual networks and then reattaching the virtual network adapters in each virtual machine to the appropriate virtual network. As part of your backup
planning, make sure you document the configuration and all relevant settings of your virtual network if you want to be able to recreate it.
• Perform a backup from within the guest operating system of a virtual machine.
Use this method when you need to back up data from storage that is not supported by the Hyper-V VSS writer. When you use this method, you run a backup application from the guest operating system of the virtual machine. If you need to use this
method, you should use it in addition to a full server backup and not as an alternative to a full server backup. Perform a backup from within the guest operating system before you perform a full backup of the server running Hyper-V. For more information about
storage considerations, see the following section.

(?) Question: is the virtual machine eternal ?

How will develop itself the Virtual Machine and how will be supported the compliancy between the ocean of code already written and the new virtual reality ? Will the bytecode interpreter always in the future support the old compiled code ?

I guess english is not your first language :)
The VM Spec says "Future versions of the Java Virtual Machine will be backward compatible with this specification" (1.02)
So in other words all new VM's should be fully backwards compatible.

Question about Virtual Machine learn repositories

Hello everybody,
I'm interested to learn OBIEE repositories. Everyone know a virtual machine to learn repositories, I'm learning dashboards and reports with Oracle Business Intelligence EE 11g (OBIEE 11g) image virtual v107. Where could I search training about repositories?
Kind regards

How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host.

Hi,
How to get information about creation of a virtual machine on a Hyper-v host?
I need: host name, time created, creator user.
I saw in Hyper-V-VMMS but I found info about movements of VM between hosts.
Thank's in advance.
Denius Valiant

For Host Name * Created Time Use This Command In PowerShell
Get-VM -Name (Read-Host "Type Your Vm Name") |select CreationTime , ComputerName
and for Create User , As i know you should see on Event Log .
Go To Event Log Viewer--->Applications And Services Logs--->Microsoft--->Windows--->Hyper-V-VMMS--->Operational
You can see in Event Log who create the Vm.

Cannot log in to Windows 8.1 Pro virtual machine!

Hello.
I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my iMac (Mid 2011) via Boot Camp, then I installed Parallels Desktop 8 and my Windows virtual machine was recognised by PD8. Then I upgraded my Windows version to Windows 8 Pro and added Windows Media Centre. All that was also recognised by PD8. Then I upgraded to Parallels Desktop 9, and everything was going fine.
I recently upgraded my Windows 8 Pro with Media Centre to Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Centre from the Windows partition, and I had no problem with that either. But when I tried to log in to Windows through Parallels Desktop (Windows as a virtual machine), Parallels Desktop didn't recognise the Windows virtual machine!
How can I resolve this issue?!
Thanks.

Hi,
Did we followed this article to update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8?

Remote Desktop Services Role on a Virtual Machine (VM) Requirements

Does MS recommend installing RDS Role on Hardware or Virtual Machine? I have a use case where I have about 35 people that will be using the Internet Explorer and possibly run additional piece of software. I'm having trouble determining if the RDS Role on
Virtual Machine will be able to sustain the load of so many users. Should the same performance metric used in hardware selection be appropriate to apply for Virtual Machines. We are using VMware on pretty powerful DELL hardware, which is also hosting
120 existing VMs as of now. So my questions is would VM with 4 CPU's, 8GB of RAM, 80 GB Virtual Disk and 1 GBPs NIC would be handle the job?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
There is no any particular requirement to run RDS on physical or virtual machine. But if you want to install RD Virtulization role then you need to see that Hyper- V role installed because “when the RD Virtualization Host role service is installed, Server
Manager checks to see if Hyper-V is installed. If Hyper-V is not installed, Server Manager will install it”. And Hyper-V role cannot be installed on virtual machine so for that you need to install on Physical machine. Other all RDS role can be installed
on virtual machine also.
Install the Remote Desktop Virtualization Host Role Service
In addition, please check below articles.
1. Remote Desktop Services: Server and client requirements
2. RDS Hardware Sizing and Capacity Planning Guidance.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Move secondary site (virtual machine) from one server to another server, something to take care?

Hi guys
In our company we have a subsidiary with a simple infrastructure with a Domain Controller, some other virtual Server, Switches etc.
When we start to use the SCCM in our company, we take the decision that we want to install in this subsidiary a secondary site.
Thats why we organize a computer with good performance and installed ESXi on it. On the ESXI we create a VM with Windows Server 2012 and prepare it as secondary site.
All well and good. But now we want to setup a new infrastructor on this subsidiary with a high-performance Server. On this high performance server should also installed ESXi.
My question is, if we want to move the VM (which has installed our secondary site on it) from the computer to the server, do we need take care about something?
- IP address is going to keep the same
- No changes in Firewall
- No changes generally Network IP address
We considered, that we will shutdown the server (virtual machine) and make an export and import that virtual machine into the new server.
Thank you in advance!

As long as the OS "looks" the same to the external world -- which is the whole point of virtualization -- and is reachable using the same info -- IP, hostname -- then there's nothing to account for because to the application and the clients,
nothing has changed.

VMWare fusion turning off automatic virtual machine start

Hello,
Possibly not the best forum for this question, but I hope some of you use VMWare fusion to run Windows on your MAC.
I originally used VMWare fusion eacy windows install to install XP Home as my virtual machine with automatic start up of XP home when VMWare fusion starts. I have subsequently created a new virtual machine for Windows 7 release candidate and want to automatically start this rather than XP when VMWare fusion starts. However I cannot fathom out how to stop VMWare fusion automatically loading and starting XP.
Any ideas? I should probably post this to a VMWare fusion forum, but cannot work out how to do that! I can see the appropriate VMWare forums but cannot see any way to post new threads. I do have a VMWare account.
Many thanks for your help.

Hello Paul,
While Bjorn appears to have answered your question (and if so, you should mark the question "answered" BTW — and Bjorn will get credit for answering!), I'm sure you could use the kind of specialist help available from the Mac-Access mailing list discussion group. There are a number of VMWare Fusion users who also use VoiceOver on that list.
