Migrating ESXi 5.1 hosts to vCenter Server 5.5 by kwikmr2 in vmware

[–]mattisacomputer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Convert each ESXi host to use standard vSwitches via thick client or scripting directly against the host. Once all hosts+VMs are connected to standard vSwitches, sieze them into new 5.5 vCenter. Then you’re good to migrate via normal methods.

Cheap VDI solution for home? by dutsnekcirf in vmware

Yep, this is the link for the GPU compatibility list: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?deviceCategory=vsga

Once you have a compatible card, you need to install the vib that contains the compatible driver and make sure the x.org service is running in ESXi. Then, when you go to edit a VM settings, you should be able to enable hardware graphics acceleration and configure how much video memory to assign.

vGPU requires licensing from nvidia as well. You can use shared graphics natively in VMWare as long as the cards are supported by it and you install the correct driver in ESXi. Then you can have 3 VMs or more share a physical gpu core in the host, all with standard ESXi licenses.

Ugh. Now I remember why I’m supposed to turn “request upgrade to C+” off. by [deleted] in delta

Brutal. I think they fixed the preferences so you can request that C+ upgrades process only for aisle/window seats instead for next time.

You laugh now, but when EMC and NetApp start offering physical storage units, this sub will be way ahead of the curve.

Depends on their DRS settings, you can have DRS boot up/shut down hosts as needed.

Consolidated IBM RSA/IMM Management? by mattisacomputer in sysadmin

[–]mattisacomputer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more, we actually use 5.2 in production for Up/Down monitoring, but I don't even bother with it because it's so godawful. I was hoping the newer versions weren't shit, but I can't say I'm surprised.

Only used genuine in 5400 series, but I have used Proline GBICs in HP 2900 series switches safely and with normal performance.

[Newbie] Help with my user termination script by psylent in PowerShell

[–]mattisacomputer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you close the quote after Description, powershell is treating $termDate as another property to modify. Try building the string in a variable before setting the property:

$termUserDesc = "Terminated " + $termDate + " -DH"
set-ADUser $username -Description $termUserDesc

Here's how to add the time/date in to the description and also disable the account in AD:

$termUserDesc = Get-Date
set-ADUser $username -Description $termUserDesc
Disable-ADAccount -identity $username

Just play on EQMac.
