• Collage of album covers in the past I copied and pasted the album art to my music (MP3) have ripped off a disk files. Is it possible to remove the art I ad

  original title: collage of album art

  Hello everyone, I have a question... In the past I have copied and pasted album art to my music (MP3) have ripped off a disk files. Is it possible to remove the art that I added and to restore the original empty file?

  Hello
   
   
  Method 1:
   
  
  Album art should appear in the view "is on the air." However, if you select the album of the artist, the album art is not displayed.
   
  
  In the upper right corner there is Options to view fall down. Change the details to tiles view expanded and the cover of the album should reappear.

• After an upgrade to ESXi 5.0, 5.1, my virtual machines are not listed in vSphere.

  The directory structure still seems to be on the disk.  Is there an easy way to get vSphere to recognize?

  Welcome to the community,

  I guess you Install accidentally selected rather than upgrade! Anyway, you can just browse the data store and do a right-click on the .vmx file each VM to add the virtual machine to inventory.

• Install ESXi 5.5 sees physical not virtual disks

  Hi guys,.

  a bit of a beginner but I installed ESXi a few times before and having OK knowledge of server hardware.

  I have a server machine that had previously installed Microsoft 2008 is no longer in use so I thought to make good use and install ESXi.

  The machine has 3 x 250 and 2 x 2 GB disks.

  At the start of the machine, I dutifully press Ctrl-E and configure the 3 drives in 1 x 470GB virtual drive.

  However, when ESXi 5.5 has just installed it lists disks in the following order to ask me to choose 1:

  250 GB

  2 GB

  2 GB

  250 GB

  250 GB

  I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid, but for the life of me I can't.

  Someone has an idea?

  Thank you, Steve...

  You have not given any information on your hardware, but I guess that you used "fake raid" (or "bios raid") to create a single virtual drive. It is NOT supported with ESXi. Only real hardware-controllers...

• Copy of the virtual disk for use by another virtual machine

  Hi all! How can I copy a virtual disk file to a location for future use by another virtual machine? I tried to just copy the hard, but it did not work for me - the copy is about 1 KB size and I can not add it as a hard drive on another virtual machine. Can someone help me?

  OK, so this client web vSphere that you use, in this case browse datastore doesn't show you the two files.

  Please follow the steps below

  Please go to Cluster & host inventory

  Select your ESXi host

  go to the tab 'Manage'-> settings-> Security-> Service Profile, and then click the button CHANGE

  Start the SSH service.

  If please use WinSCP to connect to your Esxi host and navigate to the folder of the virtual machine as in the screenshot to the suite, I navigated to a folder that is my VM name: Win10A

  and it has a virtual disk, if I want to take the virtual disk of this virtual machine to a different VM, I need to copy the two files that are highlighted.

  the two are to train your virtual disk.

  

  Download these two files and download them to another folder where you second VM resides, then try to tie it with this virtual machine.

• Problem of re-use of virtual disc after copy

  Hi all
  
  I'm having a somewhat disconcerting problem with a 5.5 ESXi host.
  
  I have a fairly "plain vanilla" VM with two virtual disks and wanted to move the vmdk to store one data to each other (for the bulk of local storage of a NAS connected to NFS).

  To do this, I connected the host SSH and after that stop the virtual machine issued a command simple cp. All very well, old intact, new file in the location desired.
  
  Now the strange thing: customer vShpere will not allow me to pick up the old or the new file to my VM. As far as I can see it simple does not appear in the user interface:

  

  I expect to see a vmdk ex_au_01_1?

  No doubt I'm missing something obvious...

  Any help / suggestions most welcome.

  I think you forgot to copy the file descriptor, only copied the flat file... check this article: file vmdk copied from the command line cannot be found or used (1001987)

  Watch the plu folder a file called: ex - UA - 01_1.vmdk.

  You need to make sure the machine virtual source has no snapshots... here you can find things to check before you copy drive: moving or copying of virtual disks in a VMware environment (900)

• Instant capture files increase in size after copy

  I have recently setup a u1 ESXi 4.1 installation. One of the virtual machines has two (vmdk) disks running w2k3 and there a snapshot taken while the virtual machine is suspended. Before making some major changes to w2k3, I decided to save this VM by copying (while he was still suspended) all the files to another folder in the data store using the datastore browser in vSphere.

  It worked well except that I am intrigued and frightened by a sharp increase in the size of the two snapshot vmdk files. The original shots have been respectively 508 MB and 82 MB and base vmdk files are 20 GB and 10 GB respectively. After copying all the files from the virtual computer to another folder for backup in the data store, the snapshot vmdk files had increased in size to 10.2 and 5.5 GB respectively. Base vmdk files have the same size as the originals.

  Could someone please explain the increased size. Clearly after a dozen shots if this behavior has been reproduced for each snapshot then any copy would fill the entire data store.

  I have found no documentation why this would happen, but this behavior is what to expect when Instant copying VMDK. I did a few tests some time ago (I think it's with ESX 4.0 GA) and the only way - if I remember correctly - to copy the snapshot files without increasing the size had to vacate the snapshot by first transfer to a new vacuum/folder on the same data store (far enough from the base vmdk) and copy it.

• In the Pages, after copying a passage, a box pops up that I can not remove

  What Pages, what the passages, where?

  If it's around the text and you copied this on the Internet, probably you just caught a few html formatting to the text. Paste without style.

• A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?

  A Windows Explorer copy operation check after copying?  I know that this should be an easy question to answer and I should already know the answer, but I can't find any info that confirms or not copy files and folders with Windows Explorer checks the copy after copying.

  I want to copy the contents of my old memory stick in my new and I want to make sure that all files and folders have made the transfer before their deletion on the old stick.

  I guess I could use the command line COPY or XCOPY between devices with the /V to check the switch.  I don't see that ROBOCOPY has a switch to check.

  Suggestions?

  There is no real way to verify with certainty that copies has been made correctly and that the copied files are all accessible, guaranteed the same as original, uncorrupted and otherwise to work.  Here is information on the switch/v:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/126457/en-us.  The BACK FC command (from the command prompt) is a better way to comparehttp://www.easydos.com/fc.html (or even the model commandhttp://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/command_line/command_line_comp.htm which is not as good as the FC command but not yet a comparison, but is not yet perfect (and it makes the whole process much longer and requires much more effort).  It is very unlikely that all copied very well - but there is no real control procedures which will ENSURE everything worked properly and that all the files can be opened and worked with.  The only way to be absolutely sure is actually check each file individually (and again, the new stick could develop the corruption of its own and damage one or more of the files even after you have confirmed it - it doesn't happen often, but it happens).  It's the nature of computers and storage devices.  If you are concerned, and then also copy the old stick on your computer in a special folder (I do with mine, just in case and I also back up this folder so it is even more protected).  Copies of chances of two (or three) is damaged or having problems are even more remote, and you have a backup (or two) in case something happens on the key (as you drop down a sewer or it gets crushed by a car or is exposed to a strong magnetic field that he wipes clean you'll just lose it or any number of other possible problems).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• disk size problm after copying a large file to the VM then disconnected

  Dear Sir

  I have a VM with allowances dynamic storage virtual hard drive of 300 GB,.

  HE on that disk space is 50 GB.

  Ive copied on it a 100 GB file so now space space disc is 150 GB and 150 GB is free.

  Ive deleted the file 100 GB of the virtual machine, but am supersized now that the file of the virtual machine is still 150 GB in size.

  What should do? as it fits the 50 GB after deleting the file from the virtual machine.

  Hello

  Yes it is planned.

  You have copied a huge file in the virtual computer-> who is the virtual disk in order to accommodate the new file->

  You remove the huge file-> your take off just to comments operating system, the file in the list of the directory->

  Your data is still there, it does not erase the data and rewrite from scratch.

  In order to recover the disk space, you need a number of things:

  -first of all your guests, OS file system must be supported (Windows FAT/NTFS is)

  -Your guest must be stopped

  -The type of the guest operating system disk should not be preallocated.

  -Your host operating system might need a lot of free space on the drive according to your VM disk configuration.

  If stored in several files, you must have a few GB free (size of the Ramdisk / 32) Go, but say more than 4 GB, keep 10 GB free to be on the safe side.

  If your virtual machine is stored in a single file, so you must have your used VM disk size + a few GB of free... for example. If your virtual disk is currently using 200 GB you need tell 204 GB free before starting the operation of a compact disc.

  Then in the configuration of VMware go into settings of virtual machines:

  

  Use the 'Compact disc' button.

  Be very very patient and wait, because you want to get 100GB which will take some time.

  Assuming that you have enough free disk space on the host ESXI 5.1 data store, I suggest you that you load the multiextent module as shown in the link, I posted and then clone the virtual disk using the vmkfstools command line utility.

  vmkfstools 'Windows w2k3.vmdk'-i 'clone.vmdk' slim-d - an ide

  vmkfstools EI 'Windows w2k3.vmdk' 'old.vmdk '.

  vmkfstools EI "clone.vmdk" "Windows w2k3.vmdk".

  The first line of the clones of the virtual disk in a virtual drive put in service end format, and the following two lines renaming virtual disks, so that you can delete the "old*.vmdk" files once the VM works as expected.

  Alternatively, you can also run the commands on the host ESXi 4.1 and then copy the new files hard again to avoid loading the multiextent module in the new host.

• (solved) Copy VM by ESXI ESXI 5 5 ovftool is slow

  Hi, I am looking to copy VM1 to ESXI ESXI 5 5 with ovftool in ovftool performance - ds = vi datastore1: / / vi [email protected]/vm1: / / [email protected] on WIN7 cmd. (WIN7 is vm on the destination server where I want to transfer vm1)

  VM have 43 GB used. I have two servers with those ESXI5 connected to mikrotik on 1 Gbps network.

  The problem is that the transfer is very slow. I can get proximetly 30Mbps.

  How can I make it faster? I run four hours and had not been completed.

  Thanks for the tips!

  When I copy by scp vmdk file whot I used vm and 60 GB 4 GB I'll copy must all 60 GB? Is there an option to do otherwise? I thnik OVFTOOL copy only what VM used.

  In fact ovftool is intended to save you from all these file copy and blah blah distresses. When you PCs an ovf vmdk file, it could be supplied thin, but on scping, it could extend to a thick disc, apparently leading to a higher storage.

  My Advisor is perhaps, the FVO vm on a windows machine that is not a part of the destination server. Then using two ovftool or vSphere client, deploy the FVO which will be the easiest method.

• Network Bridge does not work after copying on another system

  Hello

  I use VMware Server 1. I created a Fedora 9 guest operating system. I used bridged networks. I've edited/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 and assigned static IP. It works very well.

  I copied the image to a different system and it turned. But now the networking does not work. It shows as instead of eth0 eth1. change the/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 once again restores the networking. is their anyway to maintain the previous configuration after copying.

• How to find the file (EBS_R12) the OEL 5 after copy/paste Windows 7?

  People,
  
  Hello. I just installed Oracle Linux 5 as a guest at the top of VMPlayer operating system. The OS is Windows 7.
  
  I downloaded Oracle E-Business Suite R12 of delivery in Windows 7 in a folder (EBS_R12) on the screen of my laptop.
  
  In order to install EBS R12 Oracle Linux 5, I have copy and paste the EBS_R12 file in Oracle Linux 5 screen. The file size is about 50 GB. After coply paste was successful, I don't think where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.
  
  Can any people tell me where is the folder (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5 after copy/paste Windows 7?

  Hello

  After coply paste was successful, I don't think where is the folder (EBS_R12) in the Guest OS Oracle Linux 5.

  The copy succeeded.

  If Yes, then you can do the following

  #find / - name EBS_R12-type d - print

  (Assuming that you copied the folder 'EBS_R12', but not its content).

  Thank you
