    What a blessing to listen to!

    May the Lord FInd Us Faithful

    God has not given us the spirit of fear,
    But has given us the strength to obey.
    With power and sound mind, with love, the unfailing kind,
    O be not ashamed of His way.

    May the Lord find us faithful,
    May His Word be our banner held high.
    May the Lord find us faithful
    Every day, thought we live, though we die.

    No man that seeketh after things of this life,
    Is a soldier who passes the test.
    Be faithful, bw working, be running, be serving,
    Be searching His Word for His best.

    May the Lord find us faithful,
    May His Word be our banner held high.
    May the Lord find us faithful
    Every day, thought we live, though we die.

    Living or dying, may honor be Thine,
    From this wretched life, You loved and forgave.
    A life that is on fire, be only our heart’s desire.
    Be faithful from now till the grave.

    May the Lord find us faithful,
    May His Word be our banner held high.
    May the Lord find us faithful
    Every day, thought we live, though we die.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    The same was in the beginning with God.

    All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

    In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

    And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

    Daniel 10:6
    His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

    Daniel 9:18

    O my God, incline thine ear, and hear, open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy great name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies.

    http://ict-freak.nl/2010/06/07/vsphere-the-virtual-machine-is-installing-vmware-tools-and-cannot-initiate-a-migration-operation/

    Steps:

    1) The solution is quite simple. Logon to the ESX host where the VM is running on and run the following command:
    /usr/bin/vmware-cmd -l
    2) Now you get a list of all the registered VMs on that host. Copy the full path of the vmx from the VM you want to migrate with vMotion. Now run the vmware-cmd pathtovmx getid command:
    /usr/bin/vmware-cmd /vmfs/volumes/datastore-name/vm-folder/vmx-file.vmx getid
    3) The latest step is to run the following command. Just replace the idnumber with number you get with the previous command:
    /usr/bin/vmware-vim-cmd vmsvc/tools.cancelinstall idnumber
    Now you are able to migrate the VM with vMotion again.

    The usb0 NIC sometimes causes problems with certain Oracle grid components on 11g RAC.

    Setting the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-usb0 ‘ONBOOT=no’ does not always work and the devices fires up again.

    You can disable the NIC from even initializing by adding the following as the first line in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net.rules
    ACTION==”add”, DRIVER==”usb”, SYSFS{configuration}==”CDC Ethernet”, OPTIONS+=”ignore_device, last_rule”

    A kernel patch caused the machine to panic, leaving it in a confused state. I was able to boot from a CD and back out the patch, but it did not update the boot archive, even after issuing
    /sbin/bootadm update-archive -R /a

    to fix:

    Boot into the disk failsafe, then run:

    /a/boot/solaris/bin/create_ramdisk -R /a

    /usr/sbin/flarcreate -cSn “some comment” -a “some_email@somewhere.com” -R / -X /root/exclude_from_flar.txt /path/to/archive.flar

    without the ‘-a’ the flar install will fail with the error: “ERROR: Could not find archive”

    ksh -o vi
    export TERM=vt100
    /usr/openwin/bin/resize
    or, If booted from CD or in failsafe:
    /a/usr/openwin/bin/resize
