Backup Exec and instant / add disk space

I use Backup Exec to make full VM backups

After the backup, I can see a snapshot to the virtual machine in the Snapshot Manager

I deleted all the snapshots of the virtual machine and stop the virtual machine.

At this point providing drive area is grayed out and e/s can not add disk space on the existing drive

I don't see that there is a-000001, 000002 vmdk still kicking around in the virtual machine folder

(a) is it safe to delete the 00001 and 0002?

(b) any idea how to prevent the creation of the Snapshot Backup Exec files

Thank you

Steve

It is a VM DC

It turns out that Backup Exec was hung on the VM backup

Once I canceled the backup, I was able to consolidate

Thanks for your help

  • I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.

    I am running Windows Vista and a low disk space error message.  I ran disk cleanup, disk defragmentation and cleaned up all the old files and still only have 793 MB free on GB total 103.  I noticed that my 6.0.6002.18005_001c11ba_blobs.bin file takes 54.9 GB of space.  In research, it seems that it is safe to delete this file--is that true?  If so, how? It seems that I need permission to do this.

    To give the control is a two-step process. Take ownership and then to give permissions.

    Owner of a file allows the owner to change permissions even if they do not have the authorization to do so. It's the only thing that made property. The person who creates an object owns the object. For admins, the objects that are created are the property of administrators, not the individual.

    You need start exploring as administrator to Start - All Programs - Accessories - made Windows Explorer right click and choose run as administrator.

    You must therefore make a right-click folders / drive, you are interested in tick - button Properties - Security - Advanced button - property - Edit - Replace owner on Sub containers and objects tab - select one user-then Ok your way of out.

  • Deleting a disk and Re assign disk space

    They gave me a laptop Acer Aspire 3680 running on Vista. 80 GB HDD space is also divided a, C and D drive. Both drives are formatted NFTS. D drive has a folder labeled "Program Data". It is empty. When I go to disk management, click with the right button on the D drive, the drop down menu a 'remove' grayed. How can I remove the D drive and re assign disk space on drive C?

    Hello

    What is the complete the situation under the D drive in disk management?

    Your D: drive is normally the recovery Partition that the manufacturer has put there for your computer to put it back to factory in the event of a system crash.

    Contact the manufacturer of your computer on how to remove everything you have saved on the recovery disk because it is their recovery Partition.

    You can try to format the drive, then try to delete the volume.  Check if this is useful.

    Note: Before formatting the drive D: is it advisable to check with your computer manufacturer.

  • Backup Exec and VCB proxy server configuration

    Hello

    I am installing Backup Exec to back up my virtual machine on an ESX Server, but I get the following error:

    *Backup- VMVCB::ESX01VCGuestVm(DC)ha-datacenter(DC)vmserver03* 
    
    
    V-79-57344-38220 - Backup of the virtual machine 'server03' failed. VMware VCB framework reported the following error
    
    
     
    
    
    Error: Failed to open the disk: Cannot access a SAN/iSCSI LUN backing this virtual disk. (Hint: Option "-m ndb" swtiches vcbMounter to network base disk access if this is what you want.) 
    
    

    It's my setup. I have an ESX Server connected to a San. I store my images on the SAN. I have Backup Exec installed on our file server that is also attached to the SAN and try to use this server as my VCB proxy server. I have installed on my server BE VCB framework and the enterprise Converter 3.03. I have setup a temporary staging that the server can access to place its snapshots on.

    My BE\VCB proxy server cannot access the SAN LUN that holds the images. My understanding of the process is that of BE I navigate on the ESX Server and select the virtual machine, I want to backup, and because the ESX Server can access the SAN LUNS where VM images are stored throughout the process of alignment of the image and place in the temporary storage area so that BE can then throw tape should work.

    Can someone help to solve my problem?

    See you soon

    Yes, it is the intention of the VCB.  Take the resources needed to run the backup out of the host and on the VCB proxy server.  You can define VCB to use the 'LAN' mode which backs the service console of the virtual computer on the network, but it is slower and puts more pressure on the host.

    Make sure you carefully follow the VCB document.  There are some things you need to do on the proxy before presenting the LUN as cutting diskpart automount. If you don't there is a chance that the lun might get corrupted and your VM would go bye-bye.

  • When is it safe to remove the old updates and patches recover disk space?

    I have a LONG list of updates from windows to windows xp, Media Player, microsoft, etc. in a way at the time where I got first computer and set on automatic updates. I'm sure that they consume valuable disk space but how do I know which ones can be deleted without problem?

    Never. If you remove them, it defeats the purpose of the patch/security updates. Your calculation returns to a previous state vulnerable.

    If you need space, get an external hard drive for all of your data.

  • Add more space to the ASM disk group

    Hi all

    I am new to the DBA role and also in a process of learning. I need your help in putting a space at the ASM disk group. My VMware admin will add disk space to the virtual machine, and then the Linux admin will add space on Linux servers. Finally, I think I need to rebalance the database disk group to view the extra space. I'm not sure of what all the steps involved in this process. I like to read the Oracle Documentation, but I'm blurry and hesitant. Please let me know the steps to follow to add the ASM disk group space.

    We use

    Oracle DB version 11.2.0.3.0

    Linux version: 2.6.18 - 238.12.1.el5

    Thanks for your help

    No....

    You don't need any instance restart. More when you add a disk to a diskgroup, all rac nodes can see.

  • Release VROPS clustered disk space

    I have a two-node cluster for vRealize operations 6.2.1 running tests and am looking for a way to free up space. Each node contains 200 GB, but the node 1 is using 70 GB and node 2 use 166 GB and caused the most recent upgrade fails due to lack of disk space and I had to move some old pak files to operate. I tried to do a rebalancing of the disk through the cluster management, but it has no effect. I also adjusted the global settings to significantly lower all the deductions, but I do not know if that will be actually slow or reverse the growth of disk space. Ideally, I'd like that it always keep the 50 GB free on each node. The data is not important and I would be very well throw most or all of it. I don't want to increase the storage for a cluster that I just used to test the new adapters and others.

    On the node master/storage/db/vcops/data is 27 GB and/storage/db/vcops/rollup is 13 GB.

    Data/storage/db/vcops/data node is 103 GB and/storage/db/vcops/rollup is 42 GB.

    Is there a way to free up space on the vRealize operations 6.2.1 nodes?

    It is not a way to manage performance data (bits) on the FSDB explicitly and control what data node they are on.

    Disk rebalancing of the works for adding new nodes, but won't ever perfectly, even the distribution of the disk.

    Retention settings overall, who will age out old data, but it won't be necessary maintain this exactly the form of scenario does not happen.

    It would make sense that files temporary (Pak) threw a key in the works, you've got a footprint small enough space right now. The most logical answer would be to add disk space and let the slices of data in the age of retention settings.

    RV Ops manages the data on the node itself, and if it gets too low on the FSDB partitions, it will begin to lay the slices of data automatically. In your case however, it doesn't have enough enough space (in GB) to accomplish the upgrade since you have such a small overall footprint IMO.

    * Also note that according to the upgrade path that you did, some require more disk space than the other. Upgrade to 6.2. * a few updates DB in the mixture, so it may require more typical amounts of the drive to succeed.

  • Can save us from the Windows updates to another drive to increase disk space

    Hi I want to ask I can save the update of Windows to another example of player: as d ' drive, or an external hard drive, because the update are by default save to my c drive. And my c disk space becomes low.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for your query details.

    I also appreciate that fact that you want to save the updates of Windows on another drive or location in order to increase the free space in C; drive.

    Save updates of Windows on another drive location is not recommended because it can cause corruption in the system files which can lead to some unstable operating system. It can also affect Windows start the process.

    Updates are automatically downloaded into the subfolder "C:\WINDOWS\Software Distribution\Download".

    If you want to increase the disk space, I suggest you run Disk Cleanup and check if it helps.

    Please see this link:
    Delete files using disk cleanup
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup#delete-files-using-disk-cleanup=Windows-7

    It removes temporary files, empty the "Recycle Bin", and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    Note: When running Disk Cleanup on the disk hard if bad data files are found, all these data could be lost.

    I also recommend move your data files stored on drive C: to another drive to increase disk space.
