You are running VMware ESX through an incompatible hypervisor. You cannot power on a virtual machine until this hypervisor is disabled


This error is there when I created an ESXi host in a cloud for the test lab and when I tried to power ON a virtual machine I got this error.


In order to resolve this issue,
1.Enable SSH on your host.
2.Navigate to /etc/vmware/config  file of the ESXi host.
3. vmx.allowNested = "TRUE"

After this, the issue will be resolved.

NOTE: This is my test environment, strictly not recommended in production environment.

Air Watch

It is probably going to be the next big thing for the enterprises.
Tested this solution on my Apple iPhone and the way you can manage the devices is deep inside. It supports many types of mobile operating systems. The two major market vendors of mobile operating systems i.e iOS and Android both of them are supported.
What you can customize is starting from the settings to the apps that show of on your corporate device with just a click.

I have tested this product on my apple device and with just a single profile i have removed the camera and all its related apps from my iphone.

Here is a screenshot of my mobile when i configured airwatch on my mobile device.



Stay tuned to learn more.

Error ORA-01031

This problem I have came across when i was trying to configure Oracle 11g as an external database for vCenter Server deployment which i have somehow resolved.

Everytime you try to explicitly grant permission to a user you get this error ORA-01031 : insufficient priviledges.
In order to resolve this issue you have to look out for a file named sqlnet.ora in your system where you are trying to install this ORACLE 11g.
NOTE: This one solution worked for me.


Just open this file in notepad and close it and now try to login to the SQL*PLUS with the credentials of sysdba i.e


And after that try to grant the permissions to the user and you will be done.
In my next blog post will share after successful creation of database, will share USING EXTERNAL DATABASE as ORACLE 11G.
