How to configure HA failover custom settings on VI3

“FT_DIR=/opt/LGTOaam512/”
“FT_DOMAIN=vmware”
“export=FT_DIR FT_DOMAIN”
“cd /opt/LGTOaam512/bin”
“./ftcli” Now you should see the AAM prompt AAM> “AAM>getfailuredetectioninfo” You will see something like this: Heartbeat Interval: 1000
Heartbeat Timeout: 15000
Heartbeat Port: 8044
Multicast Address: 224.0.6.127 You can change the time out by: “AAM> setfailuredetectiontime 10000” To change this to 10 seconds You need to do this on all the members of the HA cluster.
The failover should kicks in by default setting when one member of the HA cluster lost network or powered down Hope this helps]]>

Vista’s retarded "Sleep" problem

Description of the problem:
I have a new Dell Dimension E521, AMD 64 X2, 2G memory, 250 G harddrive, with Vista Home Premium. After using the sleep command on the start menu, the computer and monitor will enter sleep mode for only about 15 seconds and then rousing itsefl to reemerge to full wakefulness. In the interest of power conservation, how can I put the system to sleep until needed? Any tricks with the advance power control options? Thanks in advance. Bill I found the fix here:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-12546_102-0 … ID=2440209 “The problem was my internet connection kept waking up the computer. I now can put the computer into sleep mode. Try the following: Go to Device Manager and select Network Adapters and expand. For me I only have a Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller. Double click to get to the Controller Properties menu. First go to Power Management and select “Allow computer to turn off this device to save power.” I tried this alone at first and the computer would still awaken. I then found under the Advanced menu the “Wake up capabilities” setting and selected “None.” Now when I put the computer to sleep the “PC link” led goes off on the cable modem and the computer stays asleep until I choose to awaken it. See if this works for you. Bill”]]>

update …

If the offset is at 128 rather than 63, this won’t work. What you’ve done will not have hurt it though; you just need to rewrite it again. Go through the same process except after it’s done, go to x for expert mode, then b for byte and start it at 128. This is the case when creating vmfs volumes in Virtual Center 2.0.1 or higher.

iptables notes

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s –dport 389 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p TCP –dport 389 -j REJECT To allow ssh from anyone in the 192.168.x.x network:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.0.0/16 –dport 22 -j ACCEPT Things I did to set up sshdfilter:
iptables -N SSHD
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp –dport 22 -j SSHD sshdfilter automatically sets up the drop if they try too many times to log in and fail.]]>

Pidgin / Gaim in Vista doesn’t show my Chinese / Japanese

After upgrading to Vista, gaim 2.0.0 beta 6 no longer showed the Chinese/Japanese characters anymore in the buddy list or the chat window. To fix this, I needed to change the theme for Windows. Go to the Control Panel / Personalization / Windows Color and Appearance and click on “Open classic appearance properties for more color options” if necessary. Else, just change the fonts here. I don’t know which on you need to change. I just changed everyone from Segoe UI to Tahoma. After doing this, it seemed that things in Windows ran faster and my fonts now displayed properly!
