This procedure, adding physical block devices to virtualized guests, describes how to add a hard drive on the host to a virtualized guest using VMWare software running Linux as guest.

It is possible to add or remove a SCSI device explicitly, or to re-scan an entire SCSI bus without rebooting a running Linux VM guest. This how to is tested under Vmware Server and Vmware Workstation v6.0 (but should work with older version too). All instructions are tested on RHEL, Fedora, CentOS and Ubuntu Linux guest / hosts operating systems. ]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vmware-add-a-new-hard-disk-without-rebooting-guest.html/feed 30 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html#comments Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:45:57 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=4348 Some time ago ext4 was released and available for Linux kernel. ext4 provides some additional benefits and perforce over ext3 file system. You can easily convert ext3 to ext4 file system. The next release of Fedora, 11, will default to the ext4 file system unless serious regressions are seen. In this quick tutorial you will learn about converting ext3 to ext4 file system.]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-convert-ext3-to-ext4-file-system.html/feed 18 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-centos-rhel4-iscsi-initiators.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-centos-rhel4-iscsi-initiators.html#comments Tue, 13 May 2008 12:24:59 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/?p=2285 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-centos-rhel4-iscsi-initiators.html/feed 3 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html#comments Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:36:35 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rhel-centos-fedora-linux-iscsi-howto.html/feed 45 http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-nfs-client-configuration-to-mount-nfs-share.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-nfs-client-configuration-to-mount-nfs-share.html#comments Sun, 04 Jun 2006 08:09:49 +0000 Vivek Gite http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-nfs-client-configuration-to-mount-nfs-share.html NFS (Network File System) client allows you to access shared directory from Linux client. The computer sharing the directory is called the NFS server (it can be NAS server too) and the computers or devices connecting to that server are called clients. The clients need to use the mount command to access the shared directory.]]> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-nfs-client-configuration-to-mount-nfs-share.html/feed 31
