Installing ESX 3i 3.5.0 to HP Dx2300 microtower with SATA HDD#

3 system engineers, 1 microtower, 1 esxi cd
Tonight we tried to setup vmware esx 3i 3.5 to a hp dx2300 microtower.
It was a painful night, first we searched for a hdd because original hdd should be saved as it was containing critical data for one of my project.
So me & Serkan called Arda and asked him to bring a sata hdd.
He came & we setup the hdd and burned out the iso & finally we were ready for the installation
Whoops we got the first error, memory was not enough.Logistics manager Arda :) took a ride to his place & brought 2gb ram.
Voila, installation was started, but suddenly we got an error message telling that esxi did not find any storage device to make the installation.
Anyway we googled a little but we could not find any resource.End of the night :)

So i decided to download & install esx 3.5 trial, but that attempt was kicked backed by the "competible nic not found" error :((
I was frustrated.

Late @ the same night while i was coding, i decided to re-google the problem.
Finally i got the solution.I had to change 4 chars in a py file in esxi.

If esxi could not find your sata drive, do the following

Press alt+f1 and drop to console
type root as the username and leave blank for the password
edit the /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py file by entering
vi /usr/lib/vmware/installer/Core/TargetFilter.py
find the def IDEFilter(lun) proc and change the "return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_IDE" line as "return interface.GetInterfaceType() == ScsiInterface.SCSI_IFACE_TYPE_ISCSI
save and quit by :wq!
type install

What a wonderful night.

Internet Software Studio#


A Forecast...

Whenever SaaS and Soa completes their evolution, a new era will rise;
Internet Software Studio
A platform where developers will no longer need a software development studio,
A platform where development & compilation can be done online, where intermediate software users will able to develop their own software without digging into huge documentations...

Some day...

Suicide of a hacker.#
My description for a hacker is the expert of all tech systems including coding.My description for the best hacker is the one tht has never been cought.But this guy is different, he exposes himself & his hack.

As i have mentioned several times before, i love movies & i'm sure i'll shoot mine one day, anyway making a film starts with the script and then the storyboard.I'm not that good @ painting so i serched for a storyboard making software which has templates & pictures in it.Then i found out this beautiful web page.It allows you to create comics with built in templates, conversation boxes, pictures and also it allows you to upload yr own photos.

This is my first comic "The Gathering" ... hope u like it :)

Neden KIZIYORUZ?#
Evet! Bugün bir olay!!! yaşadık.Malum zat Istanbul'a geldi ve aşağıdaki manzaralar oluştu.


Haberleri izlediğimde bütün vatandaşlar şikayet ediyordu.Herkes;
- Böyle yönetim mi olur?
- Vatandaşlarını 3.sınıf vatandaş yerine koyan başka bir yönetim yoktur!!!
- Ankarayı ziyaret etmek istemeyen birisi için vatandaşı bu hale düşürüyorlar ya...
şeklinde konuşuyordu.

Bir tek kişi bile durumdan memnun değildi.Ama bir tek kişi bile...

E o kadar kişi yorum yaptı haberlerde...Bir yorum da benden...
Neden KIZIYORUZ? bu hale düşmeyi kendimiz SEÇMEDİK Mİ?
