Re: Symantec NetBackup vs Iron Mountain's Connected Backup/PC

Well, my problem is with the company itself; and what they do to perfectly good pieces of software over time. In that respect I no longer consider them trustworthy.

Virtual Center query
Does anybody have any idea why sometimes some of my ESX servers show as not responding in VirtualCenter, and the guests running on it show as disconnected? The guests themselves are still up and running fine, but they won't respond to VirtualCenter commands (all the options are greyed out). The only way to get around this seems to be shut down all the guests on the affected server, and then restart the ESX server - not really an option when my Exchange, Excalibur and SQL servers are running on this particular ESX box. If ESX was Windows, I guess I'd be looking for a failed service or something, but being a bit of a Unix/ESX amateur I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting TIA, JRR ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~

RE: Virtual Center query
What versions are you running.. I have seen this when the host agent dies. I think it was a 3.02 box from memory i think i had to kill the vpxa service and restart it from within the host (using ssh). I think there was a kb article about it, but i cant remember where right now I'd be interested to know if the host is part of a cluster and if so removing it and re-adding it helped. also you can edit the xml file and turn up VC logging to give you more info, but i dont have that handy at the moment.

A cold reset will clear any previous IP address or passwords as well as resetting the printer configuration back to factory defaults. The factory defaults include a TCP/IP address of either 169.254.x.x or 192.0.0.192. Some print servers may show the TCP/IP address as 0.0.0.0 if a LAN cable is not connected, or if the print server cannot detect the network connection due to a bad cable, hub, or LAN link speed configuration problem. Here are some general steps that work for most printers and print servers. Additional cold reset steps may be found in the printer's manual or CD-ROM documents or on the HP Web site noted in the hyperlink above. * Most HP printers with internal HP Jetdirect print servers can be reset to factory defaults (or cold-reset) by turning the printer off and holding down the ONLINE or GO buttons while turning the printer back on. The printer's control panel display should read Cold Reset or Restoring Factory Settings . If the printer has no LCD display, the indicator lights will cycle. * To cold reset an LIO print server (such as the 250M or 200M), remove the print server from the printer, press an hold the test button while putting the print server back into the printer.

From that point forward, I'd like for it all to happen normallu via GPO, as it should - i.e., use logs in; gets new location from GPO when logging in; folders are then synced at logoff to new location by GPO(that is our setting in the GPO - files sync at logoff).

Re: Triple boot
David, I needed a laptop with multiple operating systems for portable support work and I experimented for about a week until I managed to get the configuration below to work. I initially tried every free route and almost gave up on the project even after resigning myself to using Acronis OS Selector. Even that needed a lot of fiddling. I must warn you, it is not for the faint hearted and I can't guarantee it will work for you. Vista, in particular is quite forthright in its installation demands! The procedure listed below your message... *From:* David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Sent:* Friday, October 03, 2008 4:55 PM *To:* NT System Admin Issues *Subject:* Triple boot I would like to be able to triple boot my machine: Windows XP Professional Windows Vista Ultimate Ubuntu (latest version) What is the best way to do this? My hard drive is 80GB I assume Gparted is the best utility to create the the partions - and start from there? Any direction to get me started is appreciated. Thx Making a multiple boot system using Acronis OS Selector -- Using the following operating system and data partitions: . Windows Vista SP1 . Windows XP SP3 . Kubuntu Linux 8.04 . FreeBSD 7.0 . Linux/Unix swap . NTFS data PC operating systems use a hard disk drive divided up into a number of partitions. Only 4 PRIMARY partitions are allowed. It is possible to use EXTENDED partitions which can contain numerous LOGICAL partitions to create more than 4 partitions. The physical disk is divided up into cylinders, heads and sectors (c/h/s) and each head covers a track of 63 sectors (sector 1 to 63). The first sector of the disk 0/0/1 contains the MBR (Master Boot Record) and the partition table with the layout of the disk. The remainder of this track (up to and including the last sector 63 is normally not used but for our purposes, it is used by Acronis to store the OS Selector boot loader code. The first partition created will start at 0/1/1 1. Boot from the Linux or FreeBSD CD and create a small primary partition, say 100MB, as /dev/sda1 and format as FAT32. This will be used to store the Acronis OS Selector programs and data. Using FAT32 format allows us to access the partition from DOS, if needed, in case of catastrophe. Acronis allows one to use a Windows partition to store this data but knowing Windows, I would prefer to keep it completely separate. It also allows us to add and delete partitions at a later stage without disturbing the code. 2. Boot from the Vista DVD and create the next partition for Vista. Use whatever disk space is needed but bear in mind that Vista (as well as XP, Linux and FreeBSD) will use the last NTFS partition to store data, so the program partition does not need to be too large, so I chose 20GB. Vista tends to rewrite the MBR and boot sectors, which is why we install it first. 3. Boot from the Linux CD and run GpartEd. Check that the first two partitions are /dev/sda1 (100MB) and /dev/sda2 (20GB). Create the next partition (/dev/sda3) for Windows XP as NTFS and bear in mind the sizing constraints as per the Vista install. (We cannot directly install XP as the install process would overwrite our MBR and system boot sectors, so we will use a partition copy later on). 4. Create the fourth primary partition (/dev/sda4) as an extended partition. (This will contain the remainder of the logical partitions we require). Use all the remaining space on the disk. Within this extended partition, create an EXT3 partition (/dev/sda5) for Linux and a partition (/dev/sda6) for FreeBSD Unix. Make sure the mount points are set as /. Use whatever size is required (I used 10GB each) Create ONE swap partition (/dev/sda7) for Linux and Unix and the rule of thumb is 2 x RAM, so I used 2,048MB. Lastly, create a data partition (/dev/sda8) for all the operating systems using the remainder of the space. All the operating systems can read and write NTFS, so use this format to prepare the last partition. 5. Install Linux to the first EXT partition but make sure that under advanced settings in the partitioning section, you select the boot record to go into the Linux partition and NOT to the MBR! 6. Boot the system (it will automatically go into Vista as there isn't anything in the MBR to tell it otherwise). Install Acronis Disk Director and make sure it goes into the very first FAT32 partition. Choose to load the OS Selector option. 7. Reboot the system and OS Selector should start automatically, displaying Vista, Linux and floppy boot options. Boot from each to check functionality. 8. Use Acronis Trueimage to copy an existing Windows XP installation. Trueimage is unable to directly copy one partition to overwite another, so I used a USB hard drive containing an XP installation and dumped the image file on the data partition. I then ran the program again to restore
