One of the benefits of using a Dell PowerEdge Server versus a HP ProLiant Server to host a VMware vSphere Host, is the ability to Create and Manage the virtual disk (RAID array) on the server with ESXi 5.0 installed, without restarting the server, and using the Storage Controller RAID BIOS configuration utility. Currently (July 2012), the only way to create and manage a HP SmartStart RAID Array, is either to shutdown the VMware vSphere 5.0 (ESXi 5.0) server, and use the SmartStart RAID Array BIOS at POST or BOOT the server from the HP SmartStart CDROM and use the Array Configuration Utility (ACU). HP have still not provided a software alternative when the ESXi server is running. The Dell documentation seems to complicate this process in how to complete this task, and due to the many questions, I have decided to create a Tutorial Walkthrough in few easy steps of how this can be easily achieved. Prerequisites 1. Download and Install the Dell OEM version of VMware vSphere 5.0 U1 (ESXi 5

To disable display of the virtual machine name in full screen mode, edit the VMware Fusion preferences file: Shut down any running virtual machines. Quit VMware Fusion. Open  Finder . On the Finder menu bar, click  Go  >  Go to Folder . Type this path and click  Go : ~/Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/ Locate the  preferences  file. Open the  preferences  file in a text editor. Add this line to the file: fusion.ui.fullscreen.nameBadge = "FALSE" Save the file and exit the text editor. Start VMware Fusion and Power on the virtual machine. The virtual machine name is now not displayed at the top of the screen.

Today we use virtualization for both development, testing and also production. One of the most popular virtualization solution is  VMware . There are many products that we can use for free such as  VMware Player  or  VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) . If you want Guest OS to be fully working in VMware products, you must install VMware Tools that will give better virtualization support such as you can move mouse better without have to press Ctrl + Alt to get out from Guest OS. Or in Linux Server that don't have GUI, Host OS can read or change some value from Guest OS such as IP Address. Install VMware Tools on Windows OS will be very easy as install normal software. But this article will help you to install VMware Tools on Linux Server that have only CLI for you. In principle you must have compiler and linux headers so you can go smooth with installing VMware Tools. Put VMware Tools This step will be the same for Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS If you use VMware Workstation go

VMware ESX/ESXi üzerinde ki sanal makineler oluşturulduklarında otomatik olarak sanal makinenin adında bir klasör açılıyor ve sanal makine ile ilgili tüm dosyalar (bios konfigurasyon,snapshot dosyaları ile esas ve snapshot diskler) burada tutuluyor. Sanal makinemize ve onu oluşturan dosyalara VMware vSphere Client ile bağlandıktan sonra Configuration sekmesine geçip Storage linkine tıkladıktan sonra sağ tarafta listelenen datastore lardan sanal makinemizin bulunduğu datastore a sağ tıklayıp Browse Datastore diyerek ulaşabiliriz. Ya da Veeam Backup and FastSCP gibi bir yazılım ile ilgili datastore u görüntüleyebiliriz. SanalMakineAdı.nvram: Bu dosya sanal makinemizin bios unu oluşturmaktadır. Bios a sanal makine başlatılırken F2 ye basarak ulaşabiliriz. Gerekli düzenlemeleri yaptıktan sonra kayıt edip çıktığımızda yapılan değişiklikler dosyaya kayıt edilmiş olur. SanalMakineAdı.vmx: Bu dosyada sanal makinemizin donanım bilgileri (işlemci sayısı, bellek miktarı, network kartları vb.)
