Running nested ESXi on HP ML115 G5 – EVC Mode Gotcha

By admin on February 9, 2012 in General, VMware Posts

So for a couple of days I have been re-building my lab. This has been overdue for a longtime and I finally had some time to get it done. The main purpose of re-building my lab is to make sure it follows the base reference architecture for vCloud as documented in the VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit. Now you may notice the list of kit that I have in my lab below and wonder how I could do this with only two physical hosts. The simple answer is nested ESXi. The hardware in my lab consists of 1 HP ML115 G5 (AMD Opteron 1354 and 8GB RAM) 1 HP Microserver (AMD Athlon II Neo N36L and 8GB RAM) William Lam has wrote an excellent article on how to run nested ESXi within vSphere 5.0. This explains how to enable the hidden Guest OS settings. To read this article click here. So […]

Modifying VMware View 5.0 HTTPS port

By admin on November 2, 2011 in General

Yesterday I installed VMware View into my home lab and configured everything successfully. What I discovered was that my router could not do was any Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) so I could not redirect the external IP port 444 to the internal server IP port of 443. I run a web server on port 443 so could not use this external port for View Connection Server. So how do I change the IP Port on the View Connection Server itself? After googling some scenarios I found a link to this page on myvirtualcloud.net. This is an excellent article, however it only covers View 4.0.x. In View 5.0 there is no locked.properties file in View 5.0, only config.properties and settings.properties. The article above recommends changing the entry “serverPort=xx” in locked.properties however there is no entry for this in either of these files. Hmmmm what to do… In the example below […]
