"Access to the volume, batch" on a daily basis

Hi all

In the hope of a few tips see where to look because we know so many questions.

The environment is:

ESX 5.5 (last version update of this week)

HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 blade

Brocade FC switches

VNX5400 storage

Everything is current patch level (HP Feb SSP, latest drivers etc from the latest edition of VMWare/HP Cookbook)

On a daily basis, we see the messages of the following:

Lost access to the volume 52e00703 - 7702b 882 - d845 - a 0017, 4779402 (data store) because of connectivity issues. Recovery attempt is underway and results will be communicated shortly.

Access to the volume 52e0072b-0adb69f0-f97b - a 0017, 4779402 (DataStore) connectivity issues.info successfully restored the suite

Of the vmkernal.log, I see these messages:

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

The problem was a combination of factors.  Specifically, THIN LUNS on EMC VNX with Windows 2012 R2.  It's to do with how 2012R2 TRIM questions and cancel orders MAPPING in the table.  Basically, he blows on MS and has a knock on effect on all LUNS.

The thing in our case is that we have a chassis package HP blades, for the most part running ESX, Windows R2 2012... and we essentially had a single physical machine 2012R2 out the table in its entirety...

Defrag on 2012R2 exasperated this issue and was a way to find the number of logic (light IO) massive unit on the Page file for example, LUN during the defragmentation operation

    4 x 3020 Cisco switches for blade in the back the c7000, 2 x dedicated to iSCSI traffic

    vSphere 4.1 Server

    The problem

    We went through the entire process of upgrading our server for vSphere 4.0 to 4.1 to manage a stand-alone ESXi 4.1 system, so our attentions turn to our 3 blades running ESXi 4.0u1 we used the built in Update Manager, downloaded the 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade file and we have improved our first blade and it did not notice problems as there put servers have was little used those.  We then upgraded the second and moved our main mail on her server.

    It was when we did that we started getting errors when people were losing connection to the exchange server, after some research we've seen of the event and we have been to see the error:

    "Lost access to the volume because of connectivity issues."  Recovery attempt is underway and the results will be available shortly"

    Then 10 seconds later we get the message:

    "Successfully restored access to the volume due to connectivity problems."

    This error only occurs on the blades of 4.1, we have restored a blade on 4.0 and errors are not displayed and no errors were reported with the servers on this blade.  As far as we can say it is not a network problem since all blades for iSCSI traffic flows on the same switches to the Lefthands, and we were losing the connection to volumes on the two Lefthands.

    We have a call connected with HP about this, but from the Yes, we cannot determine what is causing this problem and how to solve.

    So any help is greatly appricated

    Thank you

    We are unable to discuss on this path. If you want to have real discussion here, and if you expect any help please let us know what model of laptop you have, and something about the installation of the operating system.

    After reading your ad, my answer is very simple:
    Installation of use recovery disk, install OS again and everything should work fine.
    I'm sorry, but who knows what you do with your laptop.

    Dear Xavier

    This sound stupid now, but fact is that for most of the problems with laptops or PC is caused by the user himself. I am 4 years old laptop too and it still works perfectly. No problem at all.
    I don't know what model phone you have and what operating system you use, but I guess you have problems on the laptop to 4 years using most recent Win7 on this subject.

    You have the same problem using the operating system supported?

  • Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

    System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

    When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

    When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

    "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
    Error 5: access is denied. »

    I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

    -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
    -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
    -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
    -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
    -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

    The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

    Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

    The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

    According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

    A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

    http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

    If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

    So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

    On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

    So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

    Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

    That's how it is supposed to work.

    We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

    You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

    Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

    So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

    Norton has even a page about these issues:

    https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

    Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

    "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "

    So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

    We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

    Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

    You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?

  • Lack of access to the balance of audio volume control

    The balance function is 'available', but now hidden in Windows 7. Is it possible to use a script or macro to quickly access the balance control? W7 the access sequence for me is 1) Windows task bar (click to view)--> Start (button)--> Control Panel (list)--> material & audio (hyperlink)--> system (hyperlink) change sounds--> reading (tab)--> helmet (icon)--> properties (button)--> levels (tab)--> Balance (button)--> press '1' (scroll bar) and the key '2' (scroll bar)!

    A previous post, "can not balance sound in Windows 7", addressed to this situation with a label that showed more frustration a question. The response was useless for recommended action reduces the string above: click right volume (icon)--> (list) of sounds--> reading (tab)--> helmet (icon)--> properties (button)--> levels (tab)--> Balance (button)--> press '1' (scroll bar) and the key '2' (scroll bar)!

    My comments are: 1) I could not designed access more complicated if I had a degree in software development. 2) what's up with "Key 1" and "key 2"? People have a left ear and right ear. (3) I read that more than 10% of the American population live with hearing loss. The loss is not symmetrical. A balance of ready-access control is an important element.

    Please consider to improve this feature.

  • How to reduce the volume of alerts in FF when using webmail without lowering the system volume (Mac)?

    I use Mac OS 10.6.8.
    When I access my webmail via Firefox, I get a Twitter hard whenever I have send or receive a new email.
    I contacted my ISP (Optimum) and they said tell Firefox to my computer to make the sound. They say that they have no control over it.
    I tried to reduce the volume of alerts in my system prefs, but it has not affected the volume of FF.

    How reduce or disable volume in FF when using webmail without lowering system volume?

    Thank you!!! The 'sound' button off in their preferences. Fixed. (It was so freakin ' fort!)

    I, in turn, chatted with Service to customer of Optimum and tells them that they must tell their supervisor to better educate their own service to the customer, instead of passing the ball. We'll see.

    Let contributors Mozilla smart to not return the ball.

  • Is there a way to limit the volume and not only for music?

    Hello

    I have a child who loves the max volume. However, it is not only bad for his ears, he pushes the rest of the family crazy.

    As much as I saw him, he has no control master volume where you can limit the volume - that it JUST for music, leaving the rest of us stranded.

    I tried mental health of volume app, but since it's an app, it can be disabled without a password and so my child understood how close. So that one does not work.

    Anyone know of another way to limit the amount of EVERYTHING?

    Hi Makkapakka777,

    I understand that you like to limit the volume on your iPad so that it cannot be increased beyond a certain point. Fortunately Restrictions allows you to set a volume limit that requires an access code to remove. The article below the link provides more information about the configuration and use of the Restrictions.

    Restrictions of use on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

  • The volume max Sound Check turned

    If Sound Check is disabled, the volumes of some MP3s are too high and some low.

    If I activate the Sound Check, volumes appear to be standardized. But the problem is that the maximum volume is not strong enough, as if all volumes were reduced to be the same volume.

    Is it possible to increase the maximum iTunes Sound Check is enabled. If there is any way, please tell me.

    Note: I'm looking for a way to that with iTunes settings. I don't want the following workaround solutions:

    • Increase the system volume or the volume of the speakers (other sounds from other applications become too strong)
    • Edit mp3 files themselves (I do over and over again for each new file)

    I do not have access to iTunes 11 or 12 now look for it.  In iTunes 10, there is a choice of equalizer which also includes a volume control that increases the volume of the iTunes application.  If you want to make all your strongest songs for all applications, use iVolume to increase the volume of all the songs.  iVolume also matches the volume of all the songs, making them all the same volume.  All applications recognize adjustments made by iVolume.  But know that iVolume will add to comments "adjusted by iVolume to date" unless you disable this option.

    My desktop (Windows XP Home Edition, SP3) PC has problems with sound:

    The "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" window has 2 options in the box "Device volume" (in the middle):

    (1) 'Mute'.

    It works OK - I can check this option and sound is cut off, as required.

    (2) "volume icon to Place in the taskbar"

    I can't check this option to access the 'Advanced Options' button (bottom-right) and set other options of volume for 2 rear speakers (only 2 front speakers are currently operating).

    If I check this option, it fails with this MESSAGE of ERROR:

    "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    I have NOT removed / deleted / Uninstall audio files, programs, etc., so I don't know how sound problems have been affected on my PC.

    Of course, I can't start the Volume control program, and I can't adjust any volume and sound on my PC settings. The volume icon is not displayed in the tray (taskbar, far right). Try to add the icon for the volume control for this notification area will fail with the above ERROR MESSAGE.

    I do not have the installation diskettes, so it is possible to download all the relevant sound files / applications directly and solve this problem (missing volume control program)? All the problems of sound worked beautifully until this volume control program "disappeared."

    Moreover, are these stored audio files as backups somewhere on my PC (for example some partition memory?), so I can put it directly in the Windows/Program files?

    Troubleshooting guides suggest lack file the SNDVOL32. EXE, but c:\windows\system32\dllcache fact containing SNDVOL32. EXE - of course, this file is not missing, but may be damaged / corrupted, so unusable and inaccessible, as if not found (MESSAGE of ERROR above).

    Please notify. Thank you kindly.

    The dllcache folder is where XP guard backup copies of important files and does not come into the game normally and XP will be running fine without this folder (but you don't want to delete it).

    If one 3498 files that Windows file protection is missing, PAM retrieves the backup copy in the dllcache folder quickly and silently, replace the missing file.

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices if you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    Or this:

    Windows cannot execute SndVol32.exe, use Add/Remove Programs Control Panel to install.

    Looks like thesystem32\sndvol32.exe file c:\windows\ is missing.

    As the sndvol32.exe is one of 3498 Windows File Protection files handles, should never be missing.  To be absent would require an extra effort.  If it happens never missing in the system32 folder, WFP will be want to quickly and quietly replace it if he can.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application unspecified thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system (if you can find one.)  Sometimes even the backup copy is quarantined (effectively removed)

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP retains backups of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy or press Ctrl-C (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you can only see a file named "sndvol32" which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need) or adjust the settings of the browser under Tools, Folder Options, view and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" you can see the file extensions.  You can check that box again when you are finished, if that is your desire.

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder (you maybe not this file):

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    After copying the file, navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the c:\windows\system32 folder display window and select Paste (Ctrl + V) to paste into the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file and then you should see a message that 1 file (s) has been copied.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    If you can't find the file on your system, there is one on my SkyDrive and you can download it.
