Use Connectify to Save 3G/4G Cost

Use Connectify to Save 3G/4G Cost

Being a technical personal, I use gadgets a lot. But gadget requires internet connection and as you know Internet over 3G/4G is not cheap.

Every next day updates are released, using 3G/4G for downloading all internet content is costly affair for sure. Not updating those apps will make you miss those new features and give negative feeling.

This is where Connectify comes as savior; it allows sharing Internet connection from any source. Let it be LAN, 3G/4G Dongle or even another Wi-Fi Connection.  If you share LAN based internet connection over Wi-Fi, Licensing cost of Connectify is justified in just few months.

Great features of Connectify which I use.

1.       Create secure Wi-Fi Access Point based on WPA2.

2.       Share existing Internet connection with multiple devices.

3.       Control  level of Access LAN/Internet/Both

4.       Check traffic and utilization per client.

5.       Block client if required.

6.       Share files directly with colleagues having Connectify.

7.       Load balance internet traffic if you have multiple internet connection.

8.       It works across Windows 7/8/8.1/10.

Only prerequisite is that you should Wi-Fi connection, which today every Laptop Comes with.

Free version of Connectify with limited set features is available for download. Go give it a try, and buy if it fulfills your requirement.

SRM Replication Exact Status Check

Sometimes it is required to check exact replication status of VM. It becomes more important when incremental/delta replication is happening, because graphical interface doesn't show replication status.

Steps 1 – Check owner Host name for given VM from Summary TAB of vCenter.

Step 2 – Start SSH service on Host from Security Profile inside Host Configuration and Software.

Step 3 – Login to ESX host using proper login ID and password

Step 4 – Execute below given command to list all VMs, and note down the VMid for your VM.

# vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

Step 5 – Execute below given command to check exact replication status

# vim-cmd hbrsvc/vmreplica.getState 13

Step 6 – Execute below given command to check data transfer status.

# vim-cmd hbrsvc/vmreplica.queryReplicationState 13

Exchange 2010 memory Capping

Exchange 2010 memory Capping

You will have tough time if exchange servers has high memory utilization. In exchange 2010 you have to modify both msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax and msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin value to get it working. Really that is the trick!!!

Update Note :- msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax effective effective only when msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin value is also configured. And Exchange Server 

restart is required after changes.

First of let us do calculation 

Exchange 2010: 4 GB = 4.194.304 KB / 32 KB => 131072

Define Min and Max Value 

Min – 1GB: msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin = 32768

Max – 4GB: msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax = 131072

You must adjust above given values to suit your server environment. 

Start -> ADSIedit.msc, or navigate to Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools -> ADSI Edit.

Then go to Configuration -> Services -> Microsoft Exchange -> ”Organization Name” -> Administrative Groups > ”Administrative Group” -> Servers -> ”Server Name” -> InformationStore

Then restart Information Store Service or restart exchange server if possible.
