2012年2月11日 # Physical to Virtual Machine by VMware vCenter ConverterJanuary 13, 2010 By 8 Comments If you are trying to convert physical tovirtual machine and to be used in VMware workstation or Sun VirtualBox, then continue reading this article. VMware vCenter converter is being used to convert physical to virtual (P2V) to VMware ESX server. But you can use this converter to create VMDK and VMX files locally. When you want to convert physical tovirtual machine and use locally in VMware workstation or Sun VirtualBox, this method will help you lot.
Follow the steps to create VMX and VMDK files by converting physical to virtual (P2V) in VMware vCenter Converter. 1) Download VMware vCenter Convert for Physical to Virtual (it’s completely free- registration required) 2) Complete the installation. 3) Open the converter, select ‘This local machine’. You can select remote computer also. You must have administrator privileges on remote computer to achieve this.
Click on View Source details to make sure converter is reading your physical computer resources correctly. 4) Click next. In destination type select VMware workstation and choose your VMware product version where you will be running this virtual machine.
Type a name for new virtual machine. If you will be connecting this physical machine and new virtual machine by networking, better to give separate name. Select the location for virtual machine. Make sure the location is having enough of disk space. It depends on your physical computer disk sizes and what disks you select to convert. 5) Click Next, this screen brings some more advanced option. Click on ‘Data to copy’ to choose the physical partitions to be included in conversion. Obviously, you can’t remove system or boot partitions from the list which will cause virtual machine booting problems. Target disks size in virtual machine is editable in this screen.
6) Other options such as processors, disk types, memory size, network type and even running windows services also can be changed. 7) Click Next and check the summery list as per your selection. Press Finish to start Physical to Virtual machine conversion by VMware vCenter Converter. Let the conversion complete. Status can be viewed as below.
8) Unfortunately I didn’t allow completing due to space problem. But I did the same live physical to virtual conversation by VMware workstation converter, and opened virtual machine successfully.Read here for more information. 9) Once conversation is over, open the virtual machine in VMware workstation or VMware player. That’s it. Enjoy. Recommended Posts

P2V of a Physical Machine with vCenter Converter P2V is a large subject to cover, as I cannot cover every scenario, so I am going to briefly cover a P2V conversion of an physical Ubuntu server I have kicking around. Many companies are trying to reduce there footprint and convert many physical machines into virtual ones, web servers, SMTP server are ideal candidates. The conversion is a two step process, the actual conversion and the cleanup process after you have created the VM. There are a number of 3rd party P2V converters including free ones but I will be using VMware own vCenter Converter to perform this task. Vware vCenter converter is a windows based application, that installs onto the vCenter management server, it fully supports both windows and linux conversions but you may want to check VMwareown website for all the available supported OS's. There are two versions of the converter available
VMware vCenter converter is not a silver bullet, you may have to work with the converted VM to get it working properly, also if the server originally had problems those problems may be replicated in the VM environment. The more complex the physical server (could be a domain control, cluster server, etc), the more you may have problems converting it and getting it to work, here is where you need to look at the VMware forums or search the internet for answers. Installing the vCenter converter is like a normal application installation, on the vCenter server start the installation by putting in the vCenter 4.1 cd, and then selecting vCenter Converter
During the installation process, you will be asked about the vCenter management server details
Once the installation has finished select the plugins -> manage-plugins from the top bar of the vCenter window, then select download and install plugin
That's it, you are now ready to convert physical servers Once you have the P2V plugin installed we can now import a physical server, I have a old HP D510 desktop PC with Ubuntu 32-bit OS running on it (yep old pc and old OS), lets convert this physical machine into a virtual machine. First select the ESXi server that you wish to import the new virtual machine into, in my case I have selected vmware01, right-click and select "import machine"
Now enter the details of the running physical server, I selected "view source details", just to make sure the connection is working and we have access to the physical server
All looks good, it see's my physical server as a Ubuntu 8.04 32-bit server
The next screen, gives us details on where the VM will be placed, I changed the datastore to a shared storage area (filer2_ds1), you can change the name of the VM if you wish
The screen allows us to configure the VM's hardware
I notice that the network was in correct, so selected edit and changed the network from private to public and can add additional NIC's if you wish
The "data to copy" screen allows us to select what volumes/filesystems we wish to copy across, there may be a case that you do not some volumes/filesystems copied and thus speed up the importing process.
With very little effort we are at the summary screen ready to import our physical server
It took about 5 minutes to import this server, the time it takes all depends on how much data you need to import, you can monitor the progress from the "recent tasks" window in the vCenter man screen
And here we have it, a fully imported physical server, I double checked the hardware settings and it done a pretty good job as I did not have to change anything
When I started the VM, all I had to do was edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and change the NIC to eth3 and up the interface and away we go, as you can see below
Ok not all P2V conversions will go as smoothly as this one did but you get the idea on what is involved and what you need to prepare before hand when performing a P2V conversion. There is also a Cold-Clone boot CD which allows you reboot the physical server from the CD and clone the physical server while it is offline.

Ubuntu/linux下最强大的下载工具－aria2aria2是我今天新学到的一个命令行的下载工具，虽然还没研究透，但是他绝对比wget更好.
aria2 是 Linux 下一个不错的高速下载工具。由于它具有分段下载引擎，所以支持从多个地址或者从一 个地址的多个连接来下载同一个文件。这样自然就大大加快了文件的下载速 度。aria2 也具有断点续传功能，这使你随时能够恢复已经中断的文件下载。除了支持一般的 http(s) 和 ftp 协议外，aria2 还支持 BitTorrent 协议。这意味着，你也可以使用 aria2 来下载 torrent 文件。
安装 aria2
sudo apt-get install aria2
aria2 的使用方法
aria2 是命令行程序，使用非常简单。
关于 aria2 的更多用法，可以通过 man aria2c 查阅。

Java: Good way to encapsulate Integer.parseInt()http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1486077/java-good-way-to-encapsulate-integer-parseint#
java.toString() ,(String),valueOf(2009-11-14 23:56:43)
在java项目的实际开发和应用中，常常需要用到将对象转为String这一基本功能。本文将对常用的转换方法进行一个总结。常用的方法有Object#toString()，（String）要转换的对象，String.valueOf(Object)等。下面对这些方法一一进行分析。 方法1：采用 Object#toString()方法请看下面的例子： Object object = getObject(); System.out.println(object.toString()); 在这种使用方法中，因为java.lang.Object类里已有public方法.toString()，所以对任何严格意义上的java对象都可以调用此方法。但在使用时要注意，必须保证object不是null值，否则将抛出NullPointerException异常。采用这种方法时，通常派生类会覆盖Object里的toString（）方法。 方法2：采用类型转换（String）object方法这是标准的类型转换，将object转成String类型的值。使用这种方法时，需要注意的是类型必须能转成String类型。因此最好用instanceof做个类型检查，以判断是否可以转换。否则容易抛出CalssCastException异常。此外，需特别小心的是因定义为Object 类型的对象在转成String时语法检查并不会报错，这将可能导致潜在的错误存在。这时要格外小心。如： Object obj = new Integer(100); String strVal = (String)obj; 在运行时将会出错，因为将Integer类型强制转换为String类型，无法通过。但是， Integer obj = new Integer(100); String strVal = (String)obj; 如是格式代码，将会报语法错误。 此外，因null值可以强制转换为任何java类类型，(String)null也是合法的。 方法3：采用String.valueOf(Object) String.valueOf(Object)的基础是Object#toString()。但它与Object#toString()又有所不同。在前面方法1的分析中提到，使用后者时需保证不为null。但采用第三种方法时，将不用担心object是否为null值这一问题。为了便于说明问题，我们来分析一下相关的源代码。Jdk里String# valueOf(Object)源码如下： public static String valueOf(Object obj) { return (obj == null) ? "null" : obj.toString(); } 从上面的源码可以很清晰的看出null值不用担心的理由。但是，这也恰恰给了我们隐患。我们应当注意到，当object为null时，String.valueOf（object）的值是字符串”null”，而不是null！！！在使用过程中切记要注意。试想一下，如果我们用 if(String.valueOf（object）==null){System.out.println(“传入的值是null！”);}这样的语句将可能会发生什么问题。再想一下，向控制台输出时，在视觉上如下语句在执行的结果上有什么不同： System.out.println(String.valueOf(null)); System.out.println(null); 我们看到的输出将是一模一样的东西：null，但它们意义相同吗？ 以上是对object对象转换为String的一些总结。
