So I used Windows 2008R2 with UNIX services to provide my ISO share to my testlab ESXi server. I upgraded to Windows 2012 doing an in-place upgrade. This broke the configuration and I have been spinning in a circle with no luck, have read blogs, tech articles, and today I finally fixed it. It is good to make a little accomplishment once in a while. On the command line I was getting the following error on the ESXi server when trying to mount the drive: Sysinfo error on operation returned status : The NFS server denied the mount request. Please see the VMkernel log for detailed error information So here it is, this VMware KB article was mostly no help ( http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004490 ) as it referenced using 2008R2, which I have working with no issue, it was 2012 when the wheels fell off. Then I found this nugget in another KB article, " Ensure the NFS server supports NFSv3 over TCP. ESX/ESXi does not use UDP for NFS. "  ( http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005948 ) Which l...

So, hello Google. I am going to try this out on Blogger to see how it goes. Got out of habit of updating WordPress, and the hackers were running a muck, a muck, a muck...

When installing Virtual Service Console, do not use terminal services, and if in Windows 2008+ must click "run as Administrator" even if you are an Administrator.

grep is my friend, a quick check on the configs, found that the plugins dir was goofed, and now I have perlscript again :) Now for the plumber :( O the new server is a AMD 2200 dual proc w 2GB ram running six User-mode Linux Kernels :)

OK, I have switched servers, but I am having issues with Perlscript in the MT configuration. So the 2 people in Africa who read this list won''t have access to the archives for a few days. as for now, I am off to get a plumber to come and fix the leak that has caused the ceiling in my downstairs bathroom to fall in the floor. bye bye tax check, o wait crap I aint gettin one of those either.
