That would be splendid.  Thanks!

I was thinking of changing the code after it's been loaded into memory.  Of course, then you might also have to defeat the Hyper-V equivalent of PatchGuard, if there is one.

Simulate a device status of disconnected in Workstation v.9?

$
0
0

I am trying to find a way to simulate a device status of disconnected in Workstation v.9.  I could probably stop/start the network service inside a guest but I'm looking for something more disruptive.

 

 

Any suggestions how to do that via the VIX API?

 

 

 

Gary

Re: Network Bridged connection question

Make sure ubuntu has that nic set up and operational and probably you want it to use dhclient to obtain an IP.

 

If your host machine uses DHCP then your guest should as well.  If you manually assign IP addresses for your host machine

you will need to do that in Ubuntu as well.  You have to make sure that your router (or what ever) will assign the IP, that it doesn't have some hard coded limit or mac address filtering going on.

 

Check with ifconfig to make sure that the ubuntu nic has an IPV4 address.

 

Also in the VM settings, make sure that the Bridged Virtual Nic is set to connect at power on.

Backup Errors with backing up thin provisioned disks on ESXi 5.1

$

Hi

 

I try to setup a backup solution for two little servers running in ESXi 5.1. (free edition).

I installed and configured the ghettoVCB successfully and everything seemed to be ok.

However, when I start to create a backup, the process would terminate with an error :-(

 

It does not matter whether the server is on or off, I get the same result.

All datastores are local, 2 x WD500GB with plenty of free space.

 

There is no snaphot, nothing that could (in my eyes) prevent a proper backup.

The server is running perfectly, when switched on.

 

I would appreciate any helpful feedback. Thanks in advance! The log is attached.
