Backup gets stuck on instant withdrawal

Hello

We have configured successfully ghettoVCB.sh on ESXi 4.1 U1 with a NFS datastore for backup images.

Most of the time the script runs without any problems, but sometimes it seems it gets stuck at the stage now:

2011-03-23 16:10:03 - info: start backup for srvwin

2011-03-23 16:10:03 - info: creation of snapshot "ghettoVCB-snapshot-2011-03-23" to srvwin

Destination disk format: thin provisioned VMFS

Cloning disk ' / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/srvwin/srvwin.vmdk '...

Clone: 100% done.

2011-03-23 17:21:41 - info: Instant withdrawal of srvwin...

After a bit of debug, we discovered that the script remains indefinitely waiting for "-delta.vmdk" files to disappear (line #785). If the command "vmsvc/snapshot.remove" seems not to be always successful in the consolidation and/or delete files.

To resolve this situation, it must manually enter the VI client, create a new snapshot, and then delete it. Finally, the delta files disappear and the script will.

Sometimes we get the same result by invoking "vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.remove" on the esxi console, but sometimes it fails with a strange "Segmentation fault".

This problem occurs randomly on each virtual machine.

As far as I remember he never saw on ESXi 4.0.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Nicola

You are right, but I just wanted to put this thread there in case you saw questions perform deletions on volume NFS this is something users have hit in the past and it is related to the configuration of your data backup store. This also applies to local storage and ensure that you have sufficient spindles supporting your data store and runs not too much local storage space.

Get bogged down about these shots, what size is the configured virtual machine memory at?

  • Problems with SQL Server availability at the time of the instant withdrawal

    I use VMware VCB to backup a virtual computer that is running SQL Server 2005. Hang it works very well when the snapshot was taken, but I'm getting errors in my web applications .NET at the same time that the deletion of the snapshot is in progress. The errors indicate that the SQL Server is not available. Thus, the network does not respond for the snapshot validation process or e/s SQL Server gets interrupted (perhaps through an another quiesce?), when the snapshot is removed. Anyone know why that would happen? Do not hang the OS VMware at time of the instant withdrawal as well?

    No patch I know which would cause instant removal to pause the plu VM.  3.5 U2 introduced VSS in the virtual machine, but components that should affect only when a snapshot is created.  Also create the snapshot with smack memory made a break the considerably longer VM, but still affects only the creation of the snapshot not the elimination.

  • Hello! I had the 10 iOS in iPhone is and it's cool! Di you know if I should get in iPhone 5, or it will get stuck? Thank you

    Hello! I had the 10 iOS in iPhone is and it's cool! Di you know if I should get in iPhone 5, or it will get stuck? Thank you

    Since iOS 10 is compatible with the iPhone 5, if you have not limited the space remaining on your device, I would recommend installation. Please note that this update is bricking many iPhones, so make sure you have a full backup of your data before you start the installation.

    Good luck.

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • When I try to send an e-mail message in Outlook Express 6, it gets stuck in the Outbox and is not sending.

    Help!  When I send a message it is said there is a mistake, but there is no error and he actually sent the message.  It gets stuck in my Outbox and if I don't delete it will continue to send over and over again!  What can I do?

    original title: OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6 - problem

    You have apparent dbx file corruption.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox and then create new folders to send and sent items box after having moved the messages you want to save to a local folder that you create.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the DBX files for the items in the Outbox and sent and delete them.  New ones will be created automatically when you open OE.

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

    http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

    Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program and reinstall in custom Mode and uncheck analysis when the option is the result of e-mail messages.

    Compact often as specified above.

    And backup often.

  • Sierra of MacOS - iCloud Drive Documents & Desktop keeps Getting Stuck download

    Hello

    as stated in the header after activating the iCloud Drive to include Documents and desktop download stuck guard.

    Since almost 2 weeks I started the task mean to ask iCloud to include above mentioned files. Total quantity was about 100 GB download. I have 1 TB of storage for iCloud. iCloud is always download and always get stuck after about 10 to 30 minutes to download. Then I have to restart after that it starts to load only from getting stuck again.

    I was on the phone with Apple Care who had no idea of what might happen. They Said and I quote "we have no problem with iCloud download and your problem has not yet been recreated by others."

    I find it very hard to believe that I can repro this problem on 3 different systems.

    I have Cable speed of 400 Mbps downstream a 25mbit upstream. I have zero upstream of questions to dropbox or Spideroak at an astonishing speed. ICloud is the slowest I've ever known in my life but as I said after 14 days, it has yet to fill about 40 GB. This is ridiculous IMO.

    If anyone has any ideas on what is once again wrong with iCloud, I would of course tips

    Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to post!

    Try to go into System Preferences/iCloud and stop synchronization. Wait a few minutes, then recheck the timing.

    Have you tried the signature to iCloud and then reconnect?

  • Not all facilities of the extension. They get stuck at < nom_extension > ' will be installed after Firefox restarts." Restarting Firefox does not change this

    I've always been able to install extensions with no problems until a few days ago. Since then, the extension installation process gets stuck to where they appear in the list of extensions (topic: addons) with the message < name > "will be installed after you restart Firefox." Restart of Firefox has no effect on this point - after that restart, the extension still says "will be installed after Firefox restarts." I tried several restarts Firefox and I tried to install other extensions, and the same thing happens with all I'm trying to install the extension.

    I know I'm running an outdated version of Firefox, but please ignore this. I have a good reason for it.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files that store the registry extensions.

    Delete the files (extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) extensions.* and compatibility.ini in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the extensions registry.

    New files will be created if necessary.

    See "extension corrupted files:

    If you see disabled extensions or is not compatible in ' Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions ' and then click the Tools button at the left end of the search bar to check if there is an update available compatibility.

    If this did not help, then also delete the files addons.json and addons.sqlite possible.

    You can check for problems with preferences.

    Delete a possible user.js file and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

    Pretty much what the title says. I try to load Youtube, and during the initial page load, it automatically attempts to connect. I don't know why, but it can not open my session and gets stuck in a loop. I don't have the patience to see if that solves finally itself, especially when I can sign very well in other browsers. The same thing happens whenever I try to connect to my Google account, as Youtube is related to Google.

    Many issues of the site can be caused by corrupted cookies or cache. To try to solve these problems, the first step is to clear cookies and cache.

    Note: This will be temporarily you disconnect from all the sites that you are connected. To clear the cache and cookies to do the following:

    I bought the C open on eBay UK. I can see the list of my emails on the device, but when I click on the email address it gets stuck refreshing and I see no content of mail.

    I reset the phone and also to run an update of the software via the relevant application on the device.

    Please can help you? Thank you.

    I had a similar problem with the ZTE open running v1.1. I was not using Gmail, but my own IMAP provider. It turned out that my desktop e-mail client (Thunderbird for Mac OSX) created a strange trash where it shouldn't have been. Once I deleted this file, the phone worked again.

    You use a desktop e-mail client? Make sure you check the settings IMAP, especially how map you your trash folder on the desktop. Make sure that you store your messages deleted on the server.

    This is what solved the problem for me, and I stopped using Thunderbird.

  • HP w1907: implementation gets stuck to the 'HP invent' blue Boot Screen

    Hi all

    I have HP w1907 desktop... I use it since 2008.
    Last month I format to have the new windows 7 in it... Previously I was also working with win7 Ultimate.

    But it's keep restarting after the use of 4-5 minutes and so I installed the entire operating system yet.

    It worked very well... after 3-4 weeks, when I started it, it gets stuck at the 'HP invent' blue Boot Screen.

    This display has the instructions to enter the "Boot Menu", "Setup" and "System Recovery" by pressing key "F11" aor "Esc", "F10".  It is just there for ever.

    If I try to enter the 'Boot' Menu by pressing the 'Esc' key, I get the message "Loading Boot Menu... ", but then it hangs there forever just.  If I try to enter the "Setup" Menu, I get a similar result - it says 'enter the Setup... ". "and just hangs there.  By pressing the "F11" key does not seem to do anything.

    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

    Date and the incorrect time can certainly cause problems.  What happens usually, however, is that the sites Web will not be opened because the State in which the certificate is not up-to-date.  I have not heard of the time and date causing the computer does not start.  I think that you need to change the CMOS battery.  Here's a guide on how to change it.  The guide has also some good troubleshooting information.

    Once the battery has been replaced, we'll see what happens.

  • Software update gets stuck to connect to the update server

    For a very long time (since Firefox 4 or more), I'm notified of updates, but when I say update I just get a window that says it has download firefox and it connects to the update server and it stays there forever. I left open for days and it never goes away. I've always had to go download a new copy of updated, but I really like to get the auto update work.

  • Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns

    Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns and laptop computer must be restarted to restore functionality
    The center of the causes of "touchpad button" toggle switch by pressing the touchpad pointer to enter a random State like two fingers to zoom.

    Sometimes, he'll be back to normal, but most of the time the computer should be put to sleep or restarted to restore functionality.

    a. I tried turn off all touch pad feature one item at a time and all, he still has some weird random State.
    (Did not try the impossible combination need $ to be interested but went to the 90% level)

    b. I tried disable the touch pad buttons offending and only using the mode tap the buttons and the problem still persist.

    c. Finally, tried bending the entire keyboard instead of pressing the buttons and it has also created the problem.

    This leads me to believe either the power key or flexion of the entire keyboard is originally is

    a. flexion of the touch pad causing the driver getting into a crazy State or require a recalibration.

    b. electrical connections causing the driver enter a crazy State or require a recalibration of bending.

    Note: I have reinstall the latest version of the driver.
    Also: American Toshiba support site that this problem exists in the notebooks of May.

    Also: The touchpad is too sensitive, which makes it very unusable!

    Have you tried to install the operating system and check the functionality of the touchpad with the factory settings?
    Recovery image contains tested the touchpad and right and I don't think that helps the driver installation.
