HP Insight Manager Agent 8.6.0-11 Installer for VMware ESX

During the upgrade campaign I'm working on; I've face an issue in updating the "HP Insight Manager Agent 8.6.0-11 Installer for VMware ESX". The system were always reply that some VM are still active and I can't do any upgrade...

After trying few time to enter and exit Maintenance mode, verifying twice that all VM's are really powered off; same issue; even after a reboot of the ESX hosts (I'm coming from the Windows world...)
I've just only remove all the VM's from the inventory of my VC, starting the .sh script provided by HP and then it WORKS...
You can also use the vmware-cmd command line to unregister your VM's from putty...

Ok keep on going now, 13 blades are still waiting for an esx installation...

WII...

                                   As a good geek I also have a WII console. Let's talk about my latest game test the Need for speed (11) Hot Pursuit...
This is really an interresting game  in terms of driving sensations. All you have to learn is the drifting of your cars. There is a lots of cars presented in this game. I dont't know if the credits in game are either in € or $. Nervermind because what ever the curency it is I won't be able to afford most of these cars in real life.
I'm actually driving a Bugatti in the latest stages of the game and it's starting to be a bit tricky to beat opponents. Rest of the game is quit easy and can be overtaken with only few retries.
All the tracks are very nice to drive if you forget about all police cars you can cross. I've seen more police car in this game than in real life hopefuly because even if I always follow the advise given at game start saying to drive cool with ever my seat belt. I' be driving a bicycle since a long time...
Differences between all the cars are very easy to feel in race conditions and can be easily overpassed. This is really a nice game for Christmas and for those who loves driving with no limits...

Back to the future...

Today let's talk about news. In fact I was thinking of the Usenet since 1979; I'd say back to my childhood, I was three at this time and very far from the man I'm now...
Younger than my son I do not know if I also wanted to be an astronaut but I doubt.
The oldest souvenir I have let's say in IT is my first console the Mattel Intellevision a christmas gift my parents have trained every nights before Christmas  early in the 80's.
Typically this is thing I was able to dig from the past thanks to the usenet. I hope that I've grow old better than these games and my own console than can only be used for 4 or 5 minutes before overheating...
The whole world is under usenet including oldies...

My coming out...

This week I've made my coming out...
I've quit Facebook and I think that I won't ever come back on the world's biggest social network.
I really don't understand why and how people are spending so much time on this web site. One of my colleague who was a former Facebook  addict has telling me once that having such "activity" on Facebook is good for the productivity at work... Strange I'm still thinking about that...
Netherless I'm ready to start a new group "I've just done it..." but sorry not on Facebook.
But I'm saying that I've quit Facebook but in fact I've have only desactivated my account while I'ven't found how to really suppress it. So if someone know how to do it just post a msg...

Norton Antivirus Corporate Client & firewall

If you want to activate a firewall on machine running a Norton Antivirus Corporate Client, you just need to drill only one hole in your firewall for the TCP port 2967. I've found several post saying that you have to open the UDP port 2967, but it does not work at all...maybe in an older version...

Here's a screen shot of a Windows XP Firewall 

That's all...for testing if it's working or not just launch a manual scan on the selected station from the server management console.

Thanks to Diot® for the hint... ;-p
