Bookmyshow scam in Bahubali 2 prebooking

2017-04-27T16:55:00.000+05:30

So the time finaly came for Bahubali 2 release and everyone are eager to watch the movie on very first day. Many fake YouTube and small adds are being in circulation from sometime to get YouTube hits and get money.
Similarly bookmyshow (ticket booking website) also is first in the race. The Bahubali 2 release date was on 28th April 2017. Bookmyshow announced prebooking from April 10th 2017, millions of people did prebooking and none of them received confirmed tickets, infact the customers had to call bookmyshow customer care to get the status of their prebooking status.
So what was happened exactly what did do bookmyshow did with such huge money. As expected many customers started calling bookmyshow customer care to get status. Bookmyshow customer care simply replied to most of it's customers that your prebooking transaction failed and the money will be credited back in 7 working days.

The question comes what did bookmyshow did with the money they collected from customers. Imagine all over India 500000 customers doing prebooking with an average ticket of 200 Rupees and bookmyshow holding public money for almost 25 days and finally washing their hands by saying your prebooking transaction failed when asked in details they replied to many of it's customers that the prebooking is based on first come first serve, in that case how come they allowed customers to book prebooking tickets. Example of a customer select ha theatre or multiplex for prebooking and it's seating capacity is 500 seats and then when someone 501th customer trying to do prebooking how come bookmyshow allowed to do prebooking.
It's nothing but purely a business trick holding money for 25 plus days how much bookmyshow earned money by keeping that money in their bank account.

Many of it's customers are so irated with it and many are going to file case against bookmyshow in consumer forum.

Some time when you reboot esxi host or with other issue you did some hardware changes in esxi host.
we can find a error message on esxi host summary.

No vmkcore disk partition is available and no network coredump server has been configured.
Host core dumps cannot be saved

How to Resolve

Connect the esxi host from SSH putty.

Enter below given comment, once you connect esxi host from putty.

esxcli system coredump partition set -u

It will resets the partition to a unconfigured status

esxcli system coredump partition set -e true -s

This sets the partition pre-existing to enabled it with the smart switch to automatically enable on restart.

Restart the esxi host now, the error will disappears. :)

Connecting USB to VMware VM

2012-04-24T13:18:00.001+05:30

Hi All,

You might got an requirement to connect a USB device to a VM running in your Virtual Infrastructure.

The USB device may be a Dongle USB , other USB that is required for some of the software application to activated.

Here i show you how can you connect a USB device to the VM running on VMware ESX.

Assuming you have already VMware ESX running and a VM is running on it , now you are requirement is to connect a USB device to the VM.

to access the USB from VM you need to logically attach a USB device to the ESX server.

Go to the Properties/Edit Settings of the VM and Click on Add Hardware, the below given screen will appear

Click on Next , the Below Screen will appear it will show you the type of the USB controller device in your ESX infrastructure.

Again Click on Next , the below screen will appear

It shows the summary , now click on Finish. The below screen will appear. Click on OK.

Now once you login to the VM and go to the Device Manager, here you can view the USB device drivers installed. Below given Image shows the same.

Now go to the Properties/Edit Settings of the VM and click on Add Hardware. The below given screen will appear. Here you can click on USB Device is showing as not available, This means that your VM has USB drivers installed but the USB device is not connected.

Now you need to connect the USB device to the ESX server and once you connect the USB device go to the same Edit Settings/Properties of the VM and click on Add Hardware , now this time you can see that the USB Device option is active , where as in just above image it was inactive because you have just connected the USB device.

Now click on Next the below given screen will apear, it shows the Type of USB device you have attached.

Click on Next and Finish. Now you can login to the VM and check your USB Device / USB Dongle is detected and your software application which required USB device is detected.

(In the above screen my USB is detected but the Next option is inactive that is because i have already used that USB device to one of my other VM)

That's it this is how you can use USB device in VMware VM.

Post your queries for any issues.

The HP Management Console is the user interface of HP Device Manager. Several HP Management Consoles can interact with an HP Management Server. The console allows system administrators to view details for each controlled device, organize device trees, create and maintain remote job definitions, and monitor tasks sent out to devices.

HP Management Server
The HP Management Server controls agents through the HP Management Gateway. Tasks stored asTask Templates on the server, can be sent to each agent through each agent’s respective gateway to perform commands as required.
HP Management Gateway
The HP Management Gateway servers as the link between devices and the HP Management Server. Device register with the gateway when they are started. The machine installed with the HP Management Gateway also normally contains the PXE Server installed by HP Device Manager.
Device Agent
The HP Management Agent is a software component installed on thin client devices so that HP Device Manager can interact with them. Agents are embedded into each HP operating system to enable Device Manager to manage devices out-of-the-box. Agents get tasks commands, execute the commands and report on their status.

HTC Thunderbolt -First 4G LTE Smartphone

2010-12-29T23:55:00.000+05:30

Verizon Wireless is set to unveil a half-dozen 4G LTE smartphones at next week's Consumer Electronics Show. Will the first device it shows off be the HTC Thunderbolt?

Droid Life on Tuesday posted photos of the HTC Thunderbolt, which it says will be Verizon's first 4G LTE device. The site didn't have any details on specs except to note that it looks a lot like the Desire HD. The device features a kickstand and Google branding.
Verizon said it has no comment.
In early October, Verizon announced that it will launch its 4G LTE network in 38 U.S. cities by the end of the year and will debut a half-dozen LTE smartphones and tablets at CES. The initial 38 cities will include Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Dallas, Boston, and San Francisco, McAdam said. LTE will also be available in 62 airports. The upcoming phones and tablets will come from "the top OEMs around the world," Verizon president Lowell McAdam said at the time.
Last week, Verizon informally announced that it will launch a Motorola phone for its 4G network. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Verizon chief operating officer John Stratton said, "We've got LTE smartphones on the horizon...Motorola will be right there."
