My Self
I live in Madrid, Spain, with my wife, our boy and Buffy, our pretty lady poodle. I work as Consultant for VMware PSO. and I’ve been lucky enough to be awarded as vExpert 2011 and 2012. I’m interested in everything related to Unix, storage, VMware, Cloud and Virtualization in general.
I also like to read Manga, sci-fi, politics, philosophy, fantasy, watch anime, sci-fi movies and tv series.

VirtualBox -noraw0 -vm vmname fails, what version of VirtualBox were you using? I dont even see those options available. I’m using VirtualBox 3.1.4.
VirtualBox –help
Sun VirtualBox Graphical User Interface 3.1.4
(C) 2005-2010 Sun Microsystems, Inc.
All rights reserved.
Usage:
–startvm start a VM by specifying its UUID or name
–rmode sdl|image select different render mode (default is sdl)
–dbg enable the GUI debug menu
–debug like –dbg and show debug windows at VM startup
–debug-command-line like –dbg and show command line window at VM startup
–debug-statistics like –dbg and show statistics window at VM startup
–no-debug disable the GUI debug menu and debug windows
–start-paused start the VM in the paused state
–start-running start the VM running (for overriding –debug*)
The following environment variables are evaluated:
VBOX_GUI_DBG_ENABLED enable the GUI debug menu if set
VBOX_GUI_DBG_AUTO_SHOW show debug windows at VM startup
VBOX_GUI_NO_DEBUGGER disable the GUI debug menu and debug windows
Hi Rick. Somehow I mistyped the options, is -norawr0 instead of -noraw0 and with -startvm , the options of the example are for VBoxSDL. The virtual machine can be started either with VirtualBox or VBoxSDL from the command line. I updated the post to show both options, thanks for your comment.

Hello,
I have currently added FOM to my management group and it has been sitting for about 1 hour with message “Waiting for 1 manager to join”.
How long did it take for FOM to join the management group?
Thank you and muchas gracias,
Luis
Hi Luis, thanks for commenting :-)
Adding the FOM to the cluster should take no more than a few minutes, sometimes even less. So maybe there is something wrong with your FOM or the cluster configuration itself.
Juanma.
Hello Luis,
I have got exactly the same problem with two HP P4500G2 and a FOM.
Do you have a solution for me?
Many thanks.

Hola juan manuel, tu blog es sin duda muy interesante, dejo de un lado las formalidades ,hace unas horas lei tu post sobre problemas con vmware NUMA y equipos blade HP y de como resolviste eso por medio de una modificacion del kernel de wmware por medio de vSphere
Tengo un “error” casi parecido sin embargo creo que se trata de una variacion
es la siguiente pantalla

juan manuel te agradeceria cualquier comentario respecto a esto
Gracias y Saludos!
Hola Francisco. Muchas gracias por el comentario
En realidad el post del que hablas no tiene nada que ver con Blades HP, sino que es un error que se da en los ESX y ESXi 4.0 cuando estan instalados en una máquina virtual.
En cuanto al problema que comentas y que aparece en el screenshot, ese error se da cuando la memoria no se encuentra balanceada adecuadamente entre los procesadores del servidor. En las arquitecturas NUMA la memoria debe distribuirse de manera simétrica entre los diferentes procesadores del servidor. En el siguiente KB de VMware se explica esta problemática:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018754
Si necesitas algo de ayuda a la hora de rebalancear la memoria de ese BL465G7 puedes utilizar la HP ProLiant DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool en la siguiente URL:

Espero haberte servido de ayuda, Si tienes alguna otra cuestión no dudes en escribir un comentario.
Juanma.

Hello,
I’ve managed to install CMC 9.5 on Windows Server 2012 BUT %) FOM won’t launch now, the kernel is freaking out sadly.
Have you managed to install it somehow although I know HP has stated that Win2k12 won’t be in support till SAN iQ v10.
Thanks in advance,
