VMware disks created by an unsupported version

When you get the following error on VMware:

One or more of the disks used by this virtual machine was created by an unsupported version of VMware Server. To power on or upgrade the virtual machine, either remove the unsupported disks(s) or use a version of VMware Server that supports this version of the disks. Below is a list of the disks and their reported versions.

You can perform the following:

1) Edit file.VMX
2) Modify virtualHWVersion = "n"; n might be 4 for example
3) Edit the smallest file.VMDK (the one without -flat)
4) Modify ddb.virtualHWVersion = "n", the same way as before

Register Websphere as a service

I have installed Websphere 6.1 on Windows but it only registered Dmgr as a service: how can I register nodeagent and the appsrv as well?

Here are the commands to launch:

WASService -add nodeagent -servername nodeagent -profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01"

WASService -add server1 -servername server1 -profilePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01"

Windows the great & "Insufficient system resources to complete the requested service" error while copying a file

Some people found out that turing off the antivirus can help. It didn't work for me, anyway. Not even by using xcopy or xcopy /Z as someone else suggested.

What I need to do is perform a local copy using ftp. If your source drive is an external hd, you may want to add that path to ftp and download it locally. You can find some info about that here.

enlarge your disk - vmware virtual disk

assumptions: the disk is system volume (i.e. there's only C:).
Also, there's no snapshot: if there's any, they should be removed for this to work as described.

1) increase virtual disk file size:
vmware-vdiskmanager -x 20Gb vmdiskfile.vmdk

2) add it as hd to another vm.
note: once the other vm has booted, the "new" hd should already automagically have a letter assigned. if not, then there's probably a snapshot and the process won't work (point 7 won't, at least).

3) inside the booted vm open a dos window and run: diskpart
4) list volume
5) set volume=X
6) list volume, just to verify
7) extend

That's it. Shutdown, remove the disk and go back to the original vm.

IE8 compatibility mode

To have your IE8 render a page like IE7 used to do, you have to add the following to your page:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

By doing so, IE8 will render that page just like IE7 would do.
