port already in use by another application to me. If it is possible,
try to switch off the firewall or open up port 8888, since I do not
think that any other application uses port 8888 ba default.

Although a clone is a one-to-one copy of the source, at least the machines hardware finger print needs to be changed. The includes the system's serial number and the MAC addresses of the connected NICs. As long as your OS or your application does not bind to this kind of information, no additional changes are required after the clone is ready. However, if your OS or application binds itself to a specific hardware finger print, post-cloning steps are required. This is especially true for Microsoft Windows and SAP licenses.

Depending on your use-case you should verify if a renewal of the installed licenses is required or not. For example, if you provision test landscapes only for a few days, the evaluation licenses that usually get automatically activated, can be sufficient for your needs. Otherwise volume licenses will overcome the renewal of licenses for cloned systems when available.

If instead I disconnect from the network then the application starts without problems, connecting to localhost, however then in the demos practically no data is downloaded and the only thing I can do is then to buildup knowledge networks myself by adding semantic media wiki code ...

 

can you please describe how to fix it on windows so that it works also when the laptop is connected to the internet  ?

 

furthermore, it is not clear to me how to customise it ... namely how to include my own data/ knowledge bases / triplestores ... by programming or by configuration  ? where ? how ?

This is the root cause, looks like the other msgs are all caused by this:

Ignored error: java.lang.Exception: Illegal FileMetaRecord @4292608

java.lang.Exception: Illegal FileMetaRecord @4292608

at com.fluidops.tools.vmfs.VMFSDriver.openVmfs(VMFSDriver.java:1161)

 

This occurs if the file record has a wrong magic number, which indicates that the meta data was overwritten. Unfortunately this is the record for the root directory, which prevents opening the volume at all...

You could try to change the source in line 1602 to ignore the error and see if some bits are readable, but probability is high that all meta data is hosed given the magic number was tampered with.

Maybe you have an older snapshot of the volume which you could use for recovery?

Good luck!

Is it recoverable? Is there some process I can run through to gain access once again? Any help would be magnificent!

I am experiencing much the same kind of issue. Our iSCSI SAN decided to have a hiccup. It still has 3 of 4 volumes operating, however the 4th volume (our VMFS volume) has become unreadable to some degree. We can connect to it from ESX and we can see the vmhba32 though we cannot see the the datastore within. Volume size is correct, descriptors seem to be right.

I have connected to the iSCSI target from a WinXP workstation and used r95 to access it. This is where my problems kick in. I have Java 1.6.0_20. The volume is readable to a point where exception errors begin to show up. I have attached the debug log to investigate.

We had the EC2 support in an earlier release, but havent't brought that yet into the final 3.0 release. We just didn't had enough customer feedback or companies interested in having that in a fully supported release.

If that is something that would be worth to reactivate again - let me know and send me a short message.

Ciao

Especially this issue occurs during the login phase where the login dialog gets displayed but afterwards the screen just turns black and the connection gets dropped after some time.

This problem is caused by a bug in the implementation of the VMware Enhanced FlexNet driver that causes in combination with RDP deadlocks in the TCP-stack of the ESX host. More specifically the issue only occurs when routing or forwarding between different VLANs through different NICs that are attached to the same virtual machine happens.

To resolve the issue, switch all NICs to use the E1000 emulation driver.

I had to add a proxy exception for our internal domain *.corp.

Thanks for the quick response! Laugh

Depending on the Internet Explorer's security settings running Flash plugins may not be allowed when an invalid certificate is in place since the connection is put into the Internet zone and not into the Local or Trusted security zone.

Either import the eCM test certificate and the Certificate Authority's certificate that signed the eCM certificate into the certificate store of the Internet Explorer or exchange the eCM certificate with a valid one.

Therefore, any IE settings will have an impact on any vCenter plugin.

If the plugin tabs only show blank content or an IE error message is displayed that the page cannot be displayed, the proxy settings of the IE where the vCenter client runs on may not be correct or the host with the eCM installation is not reachable.

Check proxy settings


To check this, follow this procedure:

1. Open Internet Explorer

2. Go to Tools->Internet Options->Connection->LAN Settings

3. Check whether a proxy is configured or if you get the proxy configuration automatically.

4a. If a proxy is configured, make sure that the hostname/domain of the machine where the eCM is installed is in the list of exceptions.

4b. If you get an automatic proxy configuration, ask your administrator to add an exception for the eCM installation.

Connection issues

Connection problems can be cause by various network settings. Therefore you we only can give some tips how to test the network setup:

- Try to ping the eCM host. If that does not work, make sure the DNS settings are correct.

- Try to ping the eCM host by its IP address.

- Can the eCM main webpage be accessed using a non-IE browser?

Certificate issues

By default eCM installs a test certificate. Depending on the IE security settings HTTPS connections may no get accepted when a test certificate is in place. Either the test certificate and its Certificate Authority's certificate need to be installed into the certificate store of the IE or the eCM certificate needs to be exchanged with a valid certificate.

Thus, any IE settings have a direct impact to such plugin pages. Most of the time the behavior you mentioned is caused by incorrect proxy settings in IE.

Please open IE and go to Internet Options->Connection->LAN->Proxy and check what is configured there. If you use a proxy, you may have to enter an exception for the host where eCM runs on. You may have to add 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' as an exception as well.

I can see the eCM tab appearing, but when I click on it the content is blank or I see an error message that the page cannot be displayed like the Internet Explorer does when a website is not available.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks,

wims
