VMWare Host and Guest Shutdown Sequence

I have 2 hosts with various guests dispersed between the two. Is there a way to set the priority of which host starts the process to shut down first? Say I want to have Host2 powered off first since it holds the second DC and have it power up in the reverse order with Host1 powering itself and the guests on first when power is restored. The Guest OS sequence is fine on each host. Maybe I am overthinking this as well.
The UPS running the rack is a TrippLite with and SNMPWEB card in it. I haven't set up the PowerAlert software yet.

Hi again
Is this a Windows issue?
If the local (host) machine ip is added to the Windows hosts file with the name home it will NOT resolve.
Any ideas?
Thx

Current best practice for Time service settings for Hyper-V 2012 R2 Host and guest OS's

I am trying to find out what the current best practice is for Time service settings in a Hyper-V 2012 environment. I find conflicting information. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have found some different sources (links below) but again the
are not consistent. Thanks
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2010/11/19/time-synchronization-in-hyper-v.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/virtual_active_directory_domain_controller_virtualization_hyperv(v=ws.10).aspx
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12709.time-services-for-a-domain-controller-on-hyper-v.aspx

From the first link provided by Brian, it does state that the time service should be off, but then the update changes that statement. Still best to rely on the first link in the OP - it was written by the guy that has been responsible for much of what
gets coded into Hyper-V, starting from before there ever was a Hyper-V. I'd say that's a pretty reliable source.
Time service
For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize
time from the domain hierarchy.
To disable the Hyper-V time synchronization provider, shut down the VM and clear the Time synchronization check box under Integration Services.
Note
This guidance has been recently updated to reflect the current recommendation to synchronize time for the guest domain controller from only the domain hierarchy, rather than the previous recommendation to partially disable time synchronization between the
host system and guest domain controller.

"Ignore Sessions During Shutdown" and "Graceful Shutdown Sequence"

Hi
I have J2EE application consisting of WEB and EJB layers deployed on WL 8.1
I start the Graceful Shutdown Sequence with Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option set. sessionDestroyed() method of registered HttpSessionListener is fired but at this moment JNDI tree is already empty, EJB module undeployed and the listener is not able to get to application's EJBs.
In the documentation (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/overview_lifecycle.html#1045901) Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option is explained as follows:
"If you enable this option WebLogic Server will drop all HTTP sessions immediately, rather than waiting for them to complete or timeout."
What does "drop" mean here? Is this some exception to Graceful Shutdown Sequence and the following excerpt from the documentation? : "During a graceful shutdown, subsystems complete in-flight work and suspend themselves in a specific sequence and in a synchronized fashion, so that back-end subsystems like JDBC connection pools are available when front-end subsystems are suspending themselves."
Regards

Hi,
You can use tcodes

VMware host and server reboots after restart of VM (Windows 2008)

Hello folks,
I have a quick question. When I restart virtual machine running Windows 2008 server my server and VMware are restarting as well.
Can you please give me a direction for further search or suggest any possible solution?

Hello,
I've just been through the IBM interoperability matrix and came across this statement:
Hyper-V on x64 based systems is supported with the following guest OS: Windows 2003 32bit, Windows 2003 64bit, Windows 2008 32bit, Windows 2008 64bit.
Clustering of guest OS is not supported at this time. When using Emulex HBAs with Hyper-V please select the settings mentioned in the Host Attachment section of SVC Info Center

Thanks

Copy between host and guest

I'm a student at a Uni and I'm currently learning the basics about Windows Server Domain Controllers.
One of the assignments required us to use a excel spreadsheet file to setup users in the domain, I tried copying this file from my host to the virtual machine but I couldn't do this(I also tried drag and drop).
Additionally I can't copy text trough the clipboard in and out of the VM. (the only options that work are the ones from the clipboard menu item; type clipboard text and capture screen)
My teacher told me this should be possible by enabling the integration services, but I had already done so.
Both the VM and the host system run on Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest updates.
My teacher didn't know why I couldn't do this since according to him it should be possible with Hyper-V on server 2012 R2.
I should mention that I was connected trough remote desktop with the host system(which is a server at OVH), I was able to copy and paste trough the RDP session between my client and the host, but not to the VM's.
2.
I believe the virtual machine connection also uses the RDP protcol, so I'd like to know if its possible to connect to the virtual machine directly trough RDP (without having the virtual machine attached to the internet)
3.
I saw that there are some settings in the device manager for the network adapter, but I couldn't find out what forwarding optimization is supposed to do and I was also wondering if this setting can be configured on a Linux virtual machine (and if there are
any other network optimization settings for Linux, which I can configure)

Hi Sir,
>>I tried copying this file from my host to the virtual machine but I couldn't do this(I also tried drag and drop).
If you want to use copy/past between that VM and host , you may need to enable "enhanced session" mode (only win 8.1 and 2012R2 ) :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn282274.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
How to enable it please refer to this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2013/10/18/windows-8-1-windows-server-2012-r2-vmconnect-enhanced-mode-rdp-over-vmbus.aspx
Also , you can click here on that 2012R2 VM conneciton :
In addition I saw that "Guest Services" was enabled , you can use command copy-vmfile to transfer file from host to VM :
Copy-VMFile -Name scvmm2012r2 -SourcePath c:\test.txt -DestinationPath c:\test.txt -FileSource Host

File transfer problem between Host OS and Guest OS

Hi,
I have WIndows7 32 bit as a host OS in C drive. and i have installed the Virtualbox in D drive and installed CentOS 6 in virtual box as a guest OS.
After installing the Guest Additions in CentOS and set the Drg n Drop-Bidirectional. it permits to create shared folder in CentOS but i am not able to drag n drop to any file from host to guest and vice versa.
Also when i plug the pendrive it copy the partially data in guest OS then it show unpluggeed automatically in guest OS. It copy only .rpm file in guest OS (CentOS)
please suggest how to copy the file from Host OS to guest OS and vice versa.
I have installed VirtualBox-4.3.20-96997. i have installed also Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.20-96996.vbox-extpack on windows ( on host OS).
Thanks.

The following is from the virtualbox user manual:
Drag’n’Drop This setting allows to enable Drag and Drop: Select a file on the desktop, click the left mouse button, move the mouse to the VM window and release the mouse button. The file is copied from the host to the guest. This feature is currently only implemented for Linux guests and only for copying files from the host to the guest.
I guess that explains your experience with Drag'n Drop.
Regarding USB and the pen drive, you cannot access a USB device in the host and guest OS at the same time. The technology does not support this. You will either have to capture the device to be used/mounted in the host or guest OS. Unless you configure the USB device in the virtual machine settings, the device will normally be captured by the host OS and become inaccessible by the guest OS.
To copy files between Windows and a VirtualBox Linux guest you can use Putty and it's pscp.exe to copy files from Windows to Linux and vise versa. You may have o enable SSH on your Linux side. There was a post here yesterday, please check the last forum discussions. Alternatively you can also use WinSCP if you want a GUI tool.

[SOLVED] Virtualization, win7 host and 3d acceleration?

Is it possible to get decent 3d acceleration in Arch linux out of the box (just by installing right packages)?
I tried both VMware Workstation 7.1 and VirtualBox 4.08, and i followed steps in the wiki. Glxinfo and logs show that right drivers are loaded, but glxgears run at 60fps both with 3d acceleration enabled and disabled. I know that glxgears are not a real benchmark but i don't see any real acceleration, I can't use kde 4 desktop effects or GNOME 3.
So just first tell me is it possible to get good 3d acceleration with Arch (probably is ), and if you say yes ill post some logs and we will troubleshoot this problem.
P.S. I need 3d acceleration to test graphical applications (games) i develop under win. I need to test just basic functionality...
P.P.S Google revealed that Ubuntu offers easy and fast 3d acceleration, but i really like Arch so please help . I could use dual booting if everything else fails, but it's easier in vm, and it's gonna be necessary when I start testing networking parts.

Technically you do have "acceleration" but it is all using your CPU so to a first approximation there is no change in performance. When people's GPUs were not in use glxinfo used to say "Direct rendering: No". Now it says "Direct rendering: Yes" but you have to look at the fine print that says Gallium on softpipe. The relevant message in your xorg log is:
[ 34.883] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[ 34.883] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
[ 34.984] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/swrast_dri.so
[ 34.984] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
Now about VirtualBox and its supposed 3D acceleration capabilities... for some time it has been possible to use hardware directly with a low-level type of virtualization as long as the host and guest OS are the same. So maybe VirtualBox only claims that it works when you run Linux on Linux.
As for Linux on Windows, that only has a chance of working if you are using an IOMMU. AMD and Intel both have specifications for this called AMD-V and VT-d. So you need to make sure your chipset is recent enough to come with this feature (this might be helpful) and make sure it is enabled in the BIOS.

Networking between host and qemu imag for telnet

Hello.
I want to start doing test and learning a bit about networking.
But I only have a computer, and it doesn't have even hardware emulation, making the use of any modern distro as a virtual machine painfuly slow.
So I downloaded a floppy distro.. and I manage to get a virtual network card working. But there is no ping between host and guest. I can't Telnet neither, of course.
Qemu man page and google are confusing me a lot. It speack of redirecting ports.. no solution to that
I don t have firewall, as I don't have Internet at home.
What can i do now? :S
Thanks in advance

I think I must stop drinking so much cofee on the afternoon, lol
Thank you very much for adding my reply!

Maybe it is an issue with /etc/rc.conf. Some months ago it changed on the format who manages the network. May it be outdated?
Obviously, you did inadvertently use the "Report" button to submit this.
But don't worry, this happens quite often.
I tough a bit about the problem, and followed the steps on the Gentoo Wiki for sharing a conection between two guests, and I found the same problem, but with the vbe module being unabaible. After a bit of rage, I realized two possible workarounds:
First thing, is that I compile my kernel. As I don't have KVM or Hardware emulation, I just don't compile any virtual machine module, to save memory. BUT, I do have the /dev/net/tun device who qemu can't recognice (yes, I tried to run qemu as root), so It seems that it is compiled after all
The second thing, is that I also stripped the daemons and services at bootup, as I don't have Internet, or othercomputers, I don't need most of them. Between the services I don't start at bootup is the netwprk daemon... but if i try to start it, all it does is delay the bootup for almost 2 minutes looking for a network :S
So, I'll just copy my /etc/rc.conf, where I just did the changes of the wiki. Maybe I did something wrong, maybe I lack something.
Any help will be must appreciated

[vmware] Best way to share files between host and client

Good afternoon!
I have successfully installed VMware server on my machine and set up a virtual machine, powering Windows XP for study issues (emulation via wine does not do the trick for me). The virtual machine runs fast and stable but does not meet my requirements unless I have two issues faced:
First:
How to access a USB pendrive monunted by the host system properly within the client?
Second:
What is the best way to share file system space between host and client? Should I set up a Samba share which is accessible for both host and client or is it save to grant my VM access to my physical hard disc as a whole (using it as a partition)?
Thanks for answers in advance, I have still quite a lot to learn, when it comes to VMs.
Regards,
~cg

Do not setup your VMware to be able to access your physical disk as a whole. This would have you mounting the filesystem twice, corrupting it in the process.
You /can/ setup VMware with Sharing Folders that lets you share your filesystem (either / or just /home or something else) and that is what I would recommend.
As for accessing the pen drive from both operating systems at once, I'd say use the same Sharing Folders method. I always share /mnt so that I can access my cdrom/USB/etc from the vmware OS.
The sharing folders is basically the same as a samba share, but uses vmware's own method (HGFS). Samba is more secure (if you are worried about your VMware OS breaking from it's shell and attacking your real filesystem, which is unlikely). You need the vmware tools installed to make use of it.

10G: Startup/Shutdown Host and Target Credentials

Hello,
I recently installed the Windows version of Oracle 10G. I was working on the database when I had to do a shutdown immediate command. The I went to Enterprise Manager to restart but it gave me a web page stating I need to specify the Host and database credentials. It stated to give the username and password of the Host and Database credentials.
I know what the DB credentials are and my credentials are my OS username and password that I normally use to logon to my PC (or so I thought) but when I try and use that combination, it gives an error and states that it's an invalid password. Is there a way to reset the Host credentials username and password in Enterprise Manager Oracle 10G version?
Thanks,
Steve

Can you check out
10g host preferred credentials, wrong password
and see if the solution given there solves your problem, too?

Startup and shutdown sequence in RAC on Linux

I am trying to understand the start-up and shutdown sequence in 11g R2 RAC on Linux(OEL5.8).
can you please share me docs or sequence.

Hi Friend,
Example : Two node RAC. RAC1 and RAC2 instances.
Stopping RAC2 Instance :
=========================
1. Shutdown the Instance running on RAC2
2. ./srvctl stop asm -n csbppmaadbs02
3. ./srvctl stop nodeapps -n csbppmaadbs02
4. ./srvctl stop listener -n csbppmaadbs02
5. Check "./crs_stat -t"
Note 1 : Check the following also for healthy status & If any service of RAC that also we have to check.
6./crsctl check crs
CSS appears healthy
CRS appears healthy
EVM appears healthy
Starting RAC2 Instance
=========================
1 ./srvctl start nodeapps -n csbppmaadbs02
2 ./crs_stat -t
3 ./srvctl start listener -n csbppmaadbs02
4 ./srvctl start asm -n csbppmaadbs02
5. Start the Instance of RAC2
6. ./crs_stat -t
Hope it helps...
Thanks

I am evaluating Virtualbox as an alternative but Arch performes sluggish in VB though it allows me to run fullscreen with native resolution (1440x900).

Apparently you need to go into the BIOS setting of your computer. Normally you would have to press a certain key right after your computer reboots or starts. Usually there is also a brief message about which key to press in order to enter your system's BIOS (not inside vmware). Is this what you tried?Yes I have tried that using F2 key to bring up the BIOS and when I bring up the system BIOS, I just can't same to fine where I need to enable VT. The first 3 options in SYSTEM can not be edited.

I found the following in Google that seems to match your case:
http://www.petri.co.il/virtual_run_a_64_bit_guest_operating_system_in_vmware.htm
"In my case, I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 with an Intel 64bit processor. The VMware 64-bit compatibility tool told me that my computer was capable of running a 64-bit Guest, however, when I went to run it, I was told this: I found that I had to go into my BIOS and enable my Intel VT VMM capabilities. After I did that and rebooted my system, I was able to run my 64-bit OS using my already installed VMware Server."I have the same system - I will appreciate if you enter your BIOS again and find a specific area where I can enable VT.
Thank you

Setup windows and ConfigMgr task sequence failing.

Hi,
Am trying to create a reference Windows 7 task sequence and the task sequence is failing at the 'Setup Windows and ConfigMgr' task.
There are a lot of threads regarding this step and in particular that as the machine is in a workgroup it cannot install the SCCM client successfully. As recommended on other posts have added SMSLP= and SMSMP= into the Installation properties.
The task sequence is still failing and am unable to make much of the logs.
Will post the errors if anyone can assist?.

Disk caching on host or guest?

OK, this is probably a noob question, but if we have 64GB RAM on our HyperV (2008R2) host, and we are running disk intensive software, do we:
a) Allocate the 'minimum' RAM to the guest, and leave the rest for the host to use for disk caching, or
b) Allocate the maximum RAM to the guest (leaving 1GB for the host), and let the guest use it for disk caching?
Allocating half & half would seem to be a waste as they will probably both end up caching the same data (will they?), but it's not clear whether we're best letting the host or the guest do the caching. Or does it actually matter at all?
I've had a good look around and haven't been able to find any relevant recommendations.
More Info - the 'disk intensive' software is mainly a PostgreSQL server. We'll give that about 8GB for its shared buffers, but it seems to be recommended to use OS disk caching beyond that. There is a 1GB BBWC P420i RAID controller so write caching is performed
on that. Currently, our biggest performance bottleneck seems to be due to uncached reads, so we are increasing the host RAM from 16GB to 64GB (and adding an SSD for index storage), but just want to know whether it's best to increase the guest RAM allocation,
or leave it 'spare' on the host.

With Windows Server 2008 R2 / Hyper-V 2.0 you don't have that many options as VHD access is not cached by host. At all... So you'd better allocate move VM memory as I/O would be cached inside a VM. Windows Server 2012 R2 / Hyper-V 3.0 would give you more
caching options that include Read-Only CSV Cache, Flash-based Write-Back Cache coming with Tiering and also SMB access is also extensively cached @ both client and server sides. See:
CSV Cache

Write Back Cache

Hyper-V over SMB
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134187.aspx
So it could be a good idea to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 now :)
You may deploy third-party software to do a RAM and flash cache but you need to think twice as it could be simply dangerous - no reboot you may lose gigabytes of your transactions...
Hope this helped a bit :)
