== Mount Network Share ==

First install smbfs
apt-get install smbfs
Then create a folder inside of the /media directory to mount the share on or choose you're own directory
sudo mkdir /media/Storage
Create a credentials file in /root so that you can save your password and have it protected by the root account:
sudo gedit /root/.cifscredentials
Add this to the file
username=Guest
password=

sudo vi /etc/fstab
Add the following line
//192.168.0.10/SHARENAME /media/Storage cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=USER,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

To check if the file works
sudo mount -a
And you should see you're drives on the desktop

Ik you get error when you shut down the pc ''CIFS VFS: server not responding'' then you have to unmount first. Do this with the following

ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh
ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K15umountnfs.sh

== Citrix Ica client ==

Download the Linux citrix ica client from Citrix
http://citrix.com/English/SS/downloads/details.asp?downloadID=3323&productID=-1

Install the 32bits libraries if youŕe working on a 64bits platform

apt-get install ia32-libs

Install the Open-motif libraries

apt-get install libmotif3

Unpack the package and execute the installation script
./setupwfc
Find the plugin directory of firefox. Probably is /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ otherwise use
find / -name plugins | grep -i "netscape\|firefox\|mozilla"
Create a symlink to the citrix ica library
ln –s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so npica.so

If you open a connection to your citrix server. The browser will ask you if you want to open or save the session. Browse to the ica client
/usr/lib/ICAClient/wfica
and tell it to use it for all applications.

When you get a ssl error "you have not chosen to thrust....." Then copy the certificate in this location.
/usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

For 64Bits OS

Install Needed 32-bit Open Motif libraries to /usr/lib32

Setup a temporary environment

mkdir -p ~/tmp/Citrix
cd ~/tmp/Citrix

Download a recent i386 libmotif3 .deb package to the above folder

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/o/openmotif/libmotif3_2.2.3-1.4_i386.deb

Use dpkg to extract the package

dpkg -x libmotif3*i386.deb libmotif

Copy the libraries to /usr/lib32

sudo cp libmotif/usr/lib/*.so.* /usr/lib32/
sudo cp -r libmotif/usr/lib/X11/bindings /usr/lib32/X11/

== Make DVD ==

To make a video DVD you can burn you're image on the dvd. If you just have the VIDEO_TS files then the easiest way is to convert these into a iso.

mkisofs -dvd-video -o ~/moviename.iso /path/to/the/VIDEO_TS

/path/to/the/VIDEO_TS path is for example /moviename not /moviename/VIDEO_TS

VMware Project

193.67.158.163:

Our goal is to setup a test environment with VMware esx 3.5.
* '''[[Current Situation|Situation]]''' as is
* Problems with the current setup
* Proposed solutions
** VI3
** Hardware
** Standarized storage solution
*

At this moment we have Vmware infrastructure 3.0. we have 2 ESX hosts HP Dl 385 G1 with 16Gb ram.

Due to the latest expension we have to many vmware hosts to guerantee High availability. We run out of memory to support all hosts on 1 ESX host.

There are a few sollutions:

* turn of some vmware hosts when 1 ESX host goes down
* Increase the memory
* scale out with 1 or 2 hosts

Turn off some hosts is a short term sollution

Increase the memory is not possible. The Dl 385 can handle no more then 16Gb of memory.

Scale out is the prefered solution.
