 A customer of mine gave me a mid 2011 imac 21.5 to wipe. Then I can do with it what I will. I decided to replace the 1 TB HDD with a 240 SSD. The problem was that I could not use disk utility to create the correct GUID partition map. So I looked at CLI solution. Diskutil allowed me to format the drive correctly. diskutil eraseDisk HFS+ DiskName /dev/DiskNodeID I did this command. But reinstall wanted another format. Follow this to launch internet recovery mode https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+use+Internet+Recovery+to+install+macOS+to+a+new+SSD/119499 I booted into this program and then used Disk Util to change the MAC OS Extended Journaled.

I had this problem today. Using this diagram I noticed the VPXA service talked to vCenter Server. from http://www.vmlab.com.pl/host-fails-to-update-information-with-the-error-vmware-esx-cannot-synchronize-host/ Then I read this post  So I restarted the services on the host and after 2 minutes the services sync-ed up. We found out that there is a problem with the DNS server. We pinged the node1 in the cluster by the ip address. The ICMP returned with no problems. When we pinged with the node's hostname the ICMP packets we have 50% failure. We turned off one of the DNS servers and the ping to the hostname returned 100% successful.

I have and HP old server up and running and a Hypervisor. This is what I did. Why I did this is due to the fact that the HP ML350p server will only work with Windows server 2008 R2 and ESXi 5.5 versions.  I installed Ubuntu 20.04 desktop.  I burned a DVD and used that to install it.   Then I installed Remote Desktop on Ubuntu. https://www.tecmint.com/install-xrdp-on-ubuntu/ I too had the blank screen problem.  Next I installed KVM. This is the Linux version of hypervisor. https://linuxize.com/post/how- to-install-kvm-on-ubuntu-20- 04/   Next I  set up a VM for windows server 2019. Then I made sure that the VM will automatically restart when the host restarts. I have been testing it for days and it works fine. virsh autostart vmName virsh autostart debianlenny1
