Unfortunately, I had no other choice and needed to find a solution. As you might have guessed, this is a problem when looking to migrate from a Virtual Standard Switch (VSS) to VDS, as it requires at least two NICS. Intel NUC) is that they only have a single network interface. I could have used my remote lab, but given what I was testing was a bit "experimental", I prefered using my home lab in the event I need direct console access. At home, I run ESXi on a single Apple Mac Mini and one of the challenges with this and other similar platforms (e.g. "I can't find any and I don't think we'll have an opportunity to make one in the future," on the other hand, is a valid reason.Earlier this week I needed test something which required a VMware Distributed Virtual Switch (VDS) and this had to be a physical setup, so Nested ESXi was out of the question. Why can't you use a free image instead of this image? Note that "I can't find any" isn't an excuse. Generally speaking, logos and other "primary means of visual identification" are allowed on their subject articles. ![]() What purpose does this image serve? Is it just there to give readers something to look at, or does it actually contribute to their understanding? How? Is this a lower-than-normal-resolution copy of the image or video? If not, why do you need the higher resolution? Has the image been cropped? Is this just a clip of the whole audio or video? Note that some of these are the same no matter what the article is you don't need to repeat those every time. Although you may write this out by hand, it's often easier to fill in the blanks in a ready-made template. When you use a non-free image in an article, you must include a rationale explaining how the image conforms to the above criteria for that particular article. For each article which uses the file, a separate non-free content use rationale (sometimes called a fair use rationale).The source of the file (typically, this is the author and distributor).The file is tagged or marked up with the following: Linking within Wikipedia is generally unrestricted. You may still link to non-free images using the colon trick. Your user page should not have any non-free images. The work is only used in articles other namespaces cannot include non-free images, except for certain administrative pages. The work or its subject is discussed in the article it's used in replacing the work with a stock photo would substantially reduce the quality of the article. In addition to being useful under the "content" criterion above, the work is actually used in at least one article. If the work was free, it would be permissible on Wikipedia under other policies and guidelines. Note that we do have articles about entertainment and other fun things, which should be illustrated, often with non-free content. Stock photography, for instance, wouldn't meet this requirement. The work is useful for educational purposes. Publication occurs when non-ephemeral copies are distributed to the general public. ![]() Note that exhibition and performance do not count as publication. ![]() Vector images, such as File:Princeton shield.svg, may be used if otherwise appropriate, but they should be rendered at reasonably low resolutions within articles (cf. Those works are reasonably low-quality and, if possible, cropped to only show the relevant parts. Minimal usage and Minimal extent of use Īs few non-free works are used as is practical. Use trailers instead of the actual video, and clips instead of the actual audio. The work's use will not interfere with the author's ability to monetize it. And in an article about logos, you cannot use a non-free logo since free logos do, in fact, exist (e.g. You cannot use The Dark Side of the Moon's album art to illustrate an article about optics, since you could easily use a different image of a prism diffracting light. For instance, you cannot use a non-free image of a living person because, typically, it is possible for someone to take a picture of the subject and release that image freely. It can't be possible to replace the non-free image with a free image, even if the free image would be of lower quality, and even if no-one's actually created the free image yet. You can use free images anywhere for almost anything, provided they add to the page, but there are strict rules about how and where you may use non-free works.
