Avoid changing the name on the migration of VM

Hello

due to a limitation in a third-party software, I need to follow no standard naming conventions for vmdk files. So I change it name of file and edit the .vmx file. It works great so far.

But as soon as the virtual computer is moved the names are changed to what is usually used by VMware. For example, I have a virtual machine with the files

MyVM.vmx

MyVM.vmdk

MyVM - flat hard

flat_1.VMDK (second disk image)

myvm_1 - flat hard (flat file to the second disk image)

After reinstallation, it looks like this:

MyVM.vmx

MyVM.vmdk

MyVM - flat hard

myvm_1.VMDK

myvm_1 - flat hard

The problem is that, the third party software has this special name for the second disc. And after the name change, it is not able to handle more. Is there a way to avoid this name change?

The renaming of files cannot be avoided. Basically, you have three options to work around this problem.

  1. Ask the 3rd third party to obey standards (preferably) software provider
  2. Rename the file manually and edit the vmx file after reinstalling.
  3. Rename your virtual machine for 'flat' in the inventory before migrating. This will however rename all files to "... flat...» »

BTW. How often you replace the virtual machine?

  • 4.1 ai2 Migration for SQL Server: cannot change the schema name?

    I'm trying to convert a SQL Server database to Oracle.

    As I wanted to insert into an existing (with not the same name on SQL Server) schema, I followed this guideline:

    A SQL Developer... @dermotoneill: migrate existing users of Oracle

    I first picked up the source and then tried to convert the designation.

    but there is no tab:

    Migrate_missing_naming.jpg

    (you can see it's really show the previously entered data as I can choose the check box 'Show only data types used in the source model')

    Is there a new path now how to map the schema?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    This page of naming of the object has been removed from the migration wizard.

    The feature is now available in the migration of object report.

    It's easier to work with the report that you can filter and order objects according to your needs.

    In this case, you can simply show the OBJECT_TYPE = 'SCHEMA '.

    The steps are so.

    (1) capture and convert you data source

    (2) open the report of the object (left click on the node "Convert database objects") and change the SCHEMA TARGET_OBJECT_NAME objects in your name of the desired target. Commit the changes.

    Translate 3) and generate the Oracle database (right-click on the node "Convert database objects")

    Kind regards

  • How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder?

    How can I avoid losing image changes I've already done when changing the name of a folder? Whenever I have change a folder name (after having published images), Lightroom "updates" the images in this folder and any changes I've made have disappeared!

    Thanks for the update.

    This isn't the correct workflow.

    When you rename a folder outside of Lightroom, it causes the link between this issue and Lightroom to be broken and images will be missed in the Lightroom Catalog

    and if you re-import them same images after that, it will import the original images and not the changes

    Lightroom does not store the original images it contains. It works on the previews and the changes you make are stored only in Lightroom.

    So, you have to rename or move this folder in Lightroom instead of doing outside so that you do not lose your changes.

    To rename a folder, select the folder name in the library module > right click / Control click and select Rename folder.

  • Sybase to the Migration of Oracle: issues of assignment of object names

    I'm migrating Sybase to Oracle databases. By default, the name of the schema that results is < owner > _ < dbname > (dbo_SALES). To change this, I'm following the example to migrate objects in an existing user, as described here: http://dermotoneill.blogspot.com/2012/03/migrate-to-existing-oracle-users.html

    The name of object change "DATABASE.dbo" to "DATABASE" - and it seems to work very well. The problem I have is that there are many references to the DATABASE... OBJECT that do not include "dbo", the owner of the object. These references seem to be replaced by dbo_DATABASE. Object.

    Is there a way I can add another rule to the object name to catch these references? I am OK the migration offline, but I'd like to avoid performing a find/replace massive.

    Other ideas would be appreciated!
    Kevin

    Hey Kevin,

    I played a bit with a few examples and I was able to reproduce your problem with dbo... conversion of object name.
    Looks like we are trying to guess the name of the target that we did not seize the owners of default database. Speculation works well, unless you specify the name of the target, as in your case.
    Using SQL Developer 3.2.2 there is no solution except the search and replace dbo_databasename in the build script, as you suggest.
    Sick, working on a better solution for the next release, if Developer SQL will guess 'dbo' as the user, then it may as well find the name of the specified target of the dbo instead to assume the default value of naming conversion.
    Thanks for the comments,

    Kind regards

  • Change the name of the server for the Regional service account

    Is there a way to change the name of the server for an EAS account without having to delete the account and add it again?  If this isn't the case, Palm, please put in this capacity.

    Hello!

    The reason this not prevail as a fail-safe in the EAS Protocol feature.  From a point of view of corporate security, companies do not want the chance to sensitive business data being extract/put in one or more different servers that could very well not be themselves.  Any device using EAS must remove the Acct. and add a new.  Need help with data migrations that isn't the new server.

  • How to change the name of a volume iSCSI target?

    How the name of a volume iSCSI target can be changed?  I created a volume with a typo in a letter.   The volume production data on it now so I can not just it delete and recreate the problem.   It's not a big deal, but it doesn't look good either.

    It's on a PS6100.   When I go into the properties of the Volume in the advance tab I can see the iSCSI name, but cannot change it.  All I change is the public alias.  But it does no good that the name appears in the vCenter with the misspelled name.

    So how can I change the iSCSI name?

    Or am I stuck creating a new volume and telling them to migrate their data for spelling can be fixed?

    See you soon

    Part of the iSCSI specification is that target names must be unique.  Therefore, once created, you cannot change the name of the volume.

  • Term plurals changes the name of the foreign key in the relational model

    Hello

    I use a glossary with plurals for entities such as Budget turned to the budgets of the table in the relational model. Unfortunately (for me) it also changes the name of the foreign key. In the related entity, an attribute (for example) is Budget_fiscal year, I expect in the relational model, being the same, but it is transformed into budgets_fiscal_year (budgets in the plural rather than keep him in singular form).

    How can I avoid any change in the attribute names (in the process of engineering in the relational model) but always turn the names of entities from the singular to the plural names for tables?

    Thank you and best regards

    Robert

    Hi Philippe

    Your suggestion 1) works - thank you! budgets_fiscal_year is the attribute of pk exercise in my budget of the entity. It seems a standard behavior of the Data Modeler to compose the UID of the relationship of budgets_fiscal_year (for some reason, this column is not taken the logical model, but the relational model). I would prefer that it be appointed budget_fiscal_year.

    I have not defined any parameter for this (intentionally). But maybe somewhere there by default. Could you tell me where the design parameters in Data Modeler to learn how to configure the definitions mentioned in 2)?

    As I'm always busy with the model of reverse engineering data, I'll wait for DM 4.1.1.888.

    Best regards

    Renaming of files in virtual machine using Cold Storage Migration

    Virtual machine files can be renamed on the fly when cold Migration is initiated from the vSphere Client, only documents of the virtual machine are renowned.

    To rename the files:

    Log on to the VMware vSphere Client.

    Locate the virtual machine in your inventory to the host.

    Right-click the virtual machine, and then click Rename.

    Change the name of the virtual machine as required.

    Perform a cold migration to a new virtual machine data store.

    For more information, see:

    For ESXi/ESX 4.x, see Migration cold in the Guide of Administration of vSphere Datacenter.

    For ESXi/ESX 3.5, see Migration cold in basic management Guide.

    When the migration is complete, the files of the virtual machine, the name of the virtual machine configured in step 4.

    Note: If a virtual directory already exists on the data store with the same name, then the virtual target machine is placed in a new directory with annexed _1.

  • How can I change the names of directory of virtual machine in VMWare ESXi data storage?

    I've always used host names, but I have changed several times, since the structure is bigger and I now 25 virtual machines. I started renaming to v, s, w - and then their hostname.

    For now, the data store directory is a real mess without the new structure and it bothers me. Is it possible to rename directories? Perhaps using vcenter? I would like to see a beautiful tree as: DWT-win2003, centos5 tpl, tpl-debian6, s-server01, server02-s, w-exchange01, w-mssql01, just as I renamed it to VMS. I tried the migration option, but it only allows for migration between host data warehouses and not to rename the directory that hosts the virtual machine.

    How can I change the my data store directory structure? I have considered changing the paths and edit vmx files to correct the paths, and then add servers to be inventoried. But I don't really know if this can be done without penalty or if there is a better solution.

    the easiest way, continuously needs storage vMotion of the guest.  It renames the folder and the underlying file for the same as the name of object of vCenter. If you don't have much storage vMotion, then turn off the prompt and do a cold migration.

  • Effects of the change of name of ESX host windows vcenter server sits

    I made a change to an ESX host name and now I can not connect to the windows server vcenter is sitting on.   The vcenter sitting Windows VM on the ESX.  Now, I can not ping or you connect to the windows server.   I tried to change the hostname to return but still cannot ping the virtual Windows machine, impossible to connect with the client of the infrastructure, cannot RDP to windows VM, etc..   Is there a way to fix what broke?   Thanks for the help.

    Have you tried to connect directly to the host ESX (with the vSphere Client) and change the configuration of the virtual machine and the host vCenter? How about using worms forward in DNS to get the new name to resolve the old names of servers? In this way, either name can be used to communicate with the same boxes/VM... I've done it before to other servers (not the virtual computer at the time) when we installed a new server to replace an older and got a name change (to follow the company standards). We had agents in place who wanted the old name of the server, in order to make adjustments in the system DNS has allowed these agents to connect to the new server and facilitated by the migration.

    In general, I leave the host names and only once built server names vCenter. The best time to change is when you install the fresh software/OS, not at a time later than in fact. It is a good policy to have all areas...

  • LR 4.3 - import photos, change the names, and then new photos not recognized

    example:

    new card, 100 photos taken, imported w / change of name to the LR catalog, everything's fine. Then tried another of 100 photos, and when you import, the prog 'sees' 200 photos as new, not the actual 100 new photos on the map. Yes, the button is checked to avoid duplicates.

    Any ideas?

    Make sure that the card inserted before you open the import dialog box if not, missing the double check.  It is often suspect.

  • How to dynamically change the host name in the Pages of the URL of the APEX

    Dear gurus,

    Please advise me on how to dynamically change the hostname in the URL used in the pages of the APEX.

    For example: I have the below URL in one of the apex pages.
    owa_util. REDIRECT_URL ("http://adminlxdb03.texas.org:7780/pls/htmldb ' |' / f?") p ='|| v ('APP_ID') | ": 151:" | " v ('APP_SESSION'));

    in the case of a Migration of this apex from one server to another (for example, TEST the PROD box), this / these pages are wrong because the different host id name in the PROD box.

    Is it possible that we can dynamically change the hostname in the URL used in the pages of the APEX.

    for example
    owa_util. REDIRECT_URL ("http://adminlxdb03.texas.org:7780/pls/htmldb ' |' / f?") p ='|| v ('APP_ID') | ": 151:" | " v ('APP_SESSION'));

    should become

    owa_util. REDIRECT_URL ("http://adminetuxdb09.texas.org:7780/pls/htmldb ' |' / f?") p ='|| v ('APP_ID') | ": 151:" | " v ('APP_SESSION'));

    It's adminlxdb03.texas.org (TEST) at adminetuxdb09.texas.org (PROD).

    If the page has no error...

    Please notify.

    Thank you
    Sheik

    You don't need to provide the hostname while redirecting in the pages of the apex

    owa_util. REDIRECT_URL ('f? p ='| v ('APP_ID') |) ": 151:" | " v ('APP_SESSION'));

    should work just fine.

  • The change of name of PK constraint created index

    Hello
    When I rename a constraint of PK, I see that and index is automaticall created with the same name as that of old PK. What is the reason for the same thing?
    That's what I do:

    ALTER TABLE my_table_old CONSTRAINT RENAME pk_my_table TO pk_my_table_old

    Mass25 wrote:
    My point is that I see not the index under the option index until what I rename the table, then the constraint.

    Looking for clues in a sort of GUI? Rather than looking at the data dictionary? If so, what GUI?

    It is quite possible that a GUI would choose do not show the clues that have the same name as a constraint, implying that these indices have been created just to apply the constraint, alongside all the other indexes on a table. As others have pointed out, create a primary key / unique constraint implicitly creates an index. But gui may choose to display the constraint on a screen of the constraints and does not show the corresponding index just to avoid confusion (i.e. the index can have a name generated by the system confusing because the user doesn't have the name of the constraint, the user cannot delete or change the index, they need to change / remove the constraint, etc.).
