Daily research on Cisco solution 06/04/2011

Week 5 Day 3 had successfully installed vCenter server on Vmware workstation window server 2008. Solve this problem by install 64bit window server 2008 instead of 32 bit. from internet, i come across a website that said if we want to install vCenter server, the window server cannot be a domain controller but i had not test it out yet, will try out tmr to found out whether it is true. While playing with Vcenter server, i am able to add 3 host. some fact that i had found out as far, when i install a OS(XP) in a host. i disconnected that host and change it IP address, after changing the IP i connected that host back to Vcenter server but the VM(XP) does not appear in the inventory anymore, i could still see the XP file in that host, but in order to access it i had to create a new VM again and use the XP file, this result in wastage of some space as some new file are created to link the file together. I had also created a cluster but i can't add a host in it as a error msg keeping poping up when ever i try to add a new host(some thing about license not valid), not sure whether it because of the free trial that i am using. some thing i plan to test out tmr, Vmotion(live migration), cold migration, resource pool and setting alarm. will try out VMware distributed resource and VMware high availability if i can get the cluster working VMware distributed resource is to balance workload within a cluster and VMware high availability, when a host fail or down, all associted virtual machine are immediately on the other within a cluster

Daily Report on Reseach for FYPJ: 06/04/11

As after the mid-term presentation, i've discussed with yeeheng on the topic (Power Factor) and see if power factor calculation will be needed to add on to this topic. By reading those files done by the previous group, power factor is a new topic for me to understand, and i need couple days to research on it. Read through the resources on power factor and overload pdf file. But it will take me sometime to understand and digest.
