To connect a console to the switch, configure the PC terminal emulator as a DEC VT-100 (ANSI) terminal or use a VT-100 terminal and configure it to operate with these settings.
* Any baud rate from 2400 to 115200 (the switch senses the speed) * 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, XON/XOFF flow control * For Windows Terminal program, also disable (uncheck) the “Use Function, Arrow, and Ctrl Keys for Windows” option.

If you want to change the IP address of the service console in ESX 3.x you can using a command in the service console. Read on for more. To change the IP address of the ESX 3.x host, you need to change the configuration of the vswif. By default this is vswif0 and this is assumed in this document. Login to the service console with root permissions, either by using root or doing a su - to get the permissions.
Once in the service console runt the command “esxcfg-vswif -d vswif0″. This command deletes the existing vswif0. Don’t worry if you get a message about nothing to flush. Then you need to run the command to change the ip address, subnet mask and broadcast address. They are also specified in that order when the command is given. An example command is below.
“esxcfg-vswif -a vswif0 -p Service Console -i 10.1.1.1 -n 255.255.255.0 -b 10.1.1.255″
In this command the -a switch is to add a vswif, the in the Service Console is deliberate, the -i is the ip address, the -n is the netmask and the -b is the broadcast address.
You now need to change your default gateway, you can do this by editing the network file located at /etc/sysconfig/network. To do this at the command prompt, follow the steps below.
“cd /etc/sysconfig” “vi network” Then while in vi, go to the location of the default gateway using the arrow keys. Hit “i” which will perform an insert and change the default gateway to your liking. Hit the escape key twice to exit insert mode. type “:wq!” to write (i.e save) and quit.
At this point you can run some commands to restart the vmware management, but I prefer to restart the server and will recommend you do that. Once the server comes up there are a few things that still need to be done for management in virtualcenter.
Open a remote console to your virtualcenter server, do a ping to make sure the ESX host is pingable after the IP change. Make sure you are seeing the new IP address and it is assumed you have already changed that in DNS. If you are seeing the host correctly, open virtualcenter and disconnect then reconnect the host.
Once the host is connected in virtualcenter we need to change a few bits of configuration information, namely the vmkernel ip address, subnet and gateway. This is so we can vmotion correctly. Click on your host and bring up the configuration tab. Select networking and then properties on the vitual switch.
Select your vmkernel and hit the edit button. Change your ip address here for vmotion and subnet mask. You will not be able to change the default gateway until you hit ok and go back in. Once you have selected ok, then hit edit again on the vmkernel. Select the edit button on the default gateway and change the default gateway on the menu that appears. Select ok, ok again and then close.
Please note all the commands in this document should be used without the “”.

Minor issues:

- Check power hood works (if one is installed).
- Do the seats move without rocking? (motor function is smooth forward and back?)
- Make sure back window is in good condition, fogging and scratches are expected (both cheap fixes) but no cracks, or allow £150-200 (dependent upon labour costs) for replacement.
- If fitted with heated locks, windscreen washers, side mirrors make sure they work and mirrors heat all the time.
- Make sure mirrors can be folded inwards easily and that bases are not corroded (if they are, allow for £500 to replace both sides).
- Make sure there is no corrosion around boot lock.
- Make sure passenger central locking actuator functions or allow about £140 for replacement.
- Make sure all electrics work, check the windows go up/down without assistance or noise (if noisy it is a minor fix), that there are no damp patches on the floor in the cabin and boot.
- Dont be hurried when viewing and throughly check out paperwork. (see below for service timing)
- Look out for steady idle, no engine rattles on start up (a ticking may be heard on warmup and usually disappears when hot).
- Check the seat belt holders on the seats. Broken? Minor fix is possible and is in the Z3 knowledgebase on the forum (as are quite a few fixes)
- Underneath the carpet in the boot is a tool kit, make sure all the bits are there (if they aren’t you can get replacements for a few quid each).
- Check the main key unlocks the storage compartment behind the seats, and the glovebox.
Major issues:
- Make sure the roof has no tears and isn’t heavily faded, or allow up to £1000 for a replacement.
- Be sure there is no white smoke coming out exhausts. No rear diff grumbling or whining when in reverse gear or moving off. Be sure to reverse in it-very important!
- Check that all the tyres are the same make and model, if they aren’t it’s not advisable to drive fast.
- Make sure you get it up to a good speed on the test drive. One car I heard about was great to drive until it got up to 80, then it developed a very alarming judder! - On the test drive, test all gears. Any flat spots in acceleration could indicate cam problems/gear problems. A test should be performed before ANY cash is handed over as it is essential on a Z.
- Temp gauge on the dashboard runs in middle after a 15 minute journey.
- No permanent warning signs on the dashboard. diag tests at BMW dealers cost £35-50 a time, and not to mention the cost of replacement parts.
- Make sure to have the master set of keys, and 2 spares upon purchase. Without the master set, new locks, new storage box and glove box, keys and alarm settings will be needed which is roughly £1000 to do.

This was written by a guy … it’s pretty damn smart.
Girls — Please have a sense of humor!
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, “I don’t feel like it, I just want you to hold me.”
I said, “WHAT??!! What was that?!”
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear…
“You’re just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.”
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, “Can’t you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?”
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn’t decide which one to take, so I told her we’d just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, “Lets get a pair for each outfit.”
We went on to the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you… she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn’t even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, “That’s fine, honey.” She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, “I think this is all dear, let’s go to the cashier.”
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, “No honey, I don’t feel like it.”
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, “WHAT?”
I then said, “Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You’re just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.”
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, “Why can’t you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?”
Apparently I’m not having sex tonight either….but at least that bitch knows I’m smarter than her.
