VMware ESX, killing a virtual machine that won’t die.

Sometimes the Virtual Center won’t do the job. You virtual machine has hung and you need to kill it. Here are 2 examples of how you can kill the vm from within the service console:


1. The ‘VMWARE-CMD’ command


Log on to the service console and issue the following command ‘vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes///.vmx stop’ you must not use the friendly datastore name. If you need to know the location of all vm’s type ‘VMWARE-CMD -l’ that will list on vm’s and the location for the corresponding vmx file.


If that fails, then try it with the hard option, ‘vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes///.vmx stop hard’ this command will just try and kill it without shutting it down.


2. Kill it using the PID command


Run the following command: ps auxfww | grep to locate the correct PID of the virtual machine, the first number to appear in the output is your vm’s PID. Use the PID number to terminate the process by issuing kill -9

Network Card Bonding On CentOS

Bonding is the same as port trunking. In the following I will use the word bonding because practically we will bond interfaces as one. Bonding allows you to aggregate multiple ports into a single group, effectively combining the bandwidth into a single connection. Bonding also allows you to create multi-gigabit pipes to transport traffic through the highest traffic areas of your network. For example, you can aggregate three megabits ports into a three-megabits trunk port. That is equivalent with having one interface with three megabytes speed. Where should I use bonding? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use it wherever you need redundant links, fault tolerance or load balancing networks. It is the best way to have a high availability network segment. A very useful way to use bonding is to use it in connection with 802.1q VLAN support (your network equipment must have 802.1q protocol implemented). ...

Install vSphere 4.1 Update Management display "ODBC 32bit"

Install the ODBC drivers. For Microsoft SQL Server database servers, install the 64-bit database ODBC drivers on your Microsoft Windows system. When you install the 64-bit drivers, the 32-bit drivers are installed automatically. For Oracle database servers, install the 32-bit database ODBC drivers on your Microsoft Windows system. Run the 32-bit ODBC Administrator application, located at [WindowsDir]\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe. Use the application to create your DSN. You will now have a DSN that is compatible with the Update Manager server. When the Update Manager installer prompts you for a DSN, you should select the 32-bit DSN. Note: The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express database package is installed and configured when you select Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express as your database during the VMware vCenter Update Manager installation or upgrade. No additional configuration is required.
