Cannot take snapshots

Hi everyone, hoping to see if there is a solution to this. I have a SCO Unix VM working fine, after doing a P2V and juggle with drivers etc.

Now on a test office system where I have ESXi 5.0 is installed, I was able to use Veeam to perform a backup.

After using the same VM, but the only difference is that I have an old NIC crossed to the virtual machine (and on a map server) must not be snapshots (shaded out in the Client) and Veeam fails to take a backup by saying "error creating snapshot: the operation is not allowed in the current state."

All I can do to take pictures again and therefore get Veeam working again? A pull-out decision of PCI NIC active the problem?

Hi Aaron,

Since you are using IO VMdirectpatch you can not take pictures and also you will lose the rest of the features of virtualization.

  • VMotion

  • Storage VMotion

  • FT

  • Add hot appliance

  • Suspend and resume

  • Record and playback

Reference: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11089%20

Please go through the similar to the VMdirectpath topic thread / passthrough device + backup.

I hope this helps.

  • Cannot take snapshots of suspended after 6 ESXi upgrade

    Hi all, first time around;

  • Cannot take pictures iPhone 5s and hidden folders

    Husband has iPhone 5s, and it cannot take any more pictures with a storage in full.  Sometimes he wanted to completely import/erase photos off phone, sometimes import but not erase.  Apparently (according to iTunes when connected), it has an insane amount of photos stored on the phone SOMEWHERE, but his camera is COMPLETELY EMPTY! When you connect to the computer again, and she asks if we want to import photos, we say Yes (just for fun now), and he says there is still no new pictures to import. (for a good reason because he can't take pictures and the film file is empty).

    How to access or import these photos hidden this iTunes dashboard says that he has, then he can use his camera again? They must be stored somewhere on the motherboard right?  BTW his iPhone isn't a year old, but either.  Never had this problem before with sound or all other iPhones, so we are baffled.  It won't restore to factory settings due to other information that he does not want to lose in the process, even if we backed the phone up to iCloud and computer via iTunes.  ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE? DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?

    Thank you!

  • Take snapshots of VMware preferred Cisco Infrastructure

    Hello community,

    We have several Cisco first 2.x and 3.x facilities in the area. All are virtual machines on ESX servers. Before the operations of the crtitcal system (as updates, etc.) I used to take a snapshot of VMware. So far, I never had to use a snapshot to revert to the previous state of the system, but I was always sure to have a snapshot, just in case something goes wrong.

    Now a customer recently asked me if the database would not get damaged if I just take a snapshot of the currently running system. I was courious and tried to look this up, but could not find clear instructions for this. The question that bothers me is: what should I stop NCS before taking a shot or not? Does anyone know what Cisco recommends (kind of best practices) for making snaphsot of VMware?

    Best regards

    Benjamin

    Hi Benjamin,

    Please see the release below notes... Snapshots are supported but recommended to take during their stop. I made quite a few installations and upgrades, and always take snapshots while the virtual machine is turned off, is faster and safer on big high transaction VMs.

  • Cannot create snapshots of error message replica devices

    Greetings,

    I'm currently testing my recovery plans for all of my groups and I get the following error message:

    Cannot create snapshots of the replica devices. (Include a screenshot of the error) By the message, the storage Port cause is not identified, either the storage port information in NFS list is incorrect else check the option "isIP4" in the file ontap_config corresponds to the IP address in the field of the NFS.  Any suggestion? Thanks for all your comments as always!

    OK after doing some reading on the NetApp KB Portal, the problem was related to a firewall policy applied to the LIF configured for NFS traffic. After I change the firewall for data management policy, I could test my recovery plan. Jürgen Vervoort was therefore in the right direction, but it was on the storage level.

  • Import of high-resolution images of ArcGIS (PC) to Illustrator C4 (Mac)-"Cannot take place due to an error" / "the file size is too big.

    I make a great conference poster that will contain images of ArcGIS. The poster will be 92 "x 42" and Imaging will cover 91 by 22 in the page. The problem is that I need very high resolution for imaging, but illustrator won't import my files. I use ArcGIS 10.3 on Windows 10 and Illustrator C4 with OS X 10.11.1 (El Capitan). I was not able to import any .tiff file into illustrator (is this possible?) and I get "cannot take place due to an error" or "the file is too big" errors when I try to put .jpeg, .png, .ai files exported from the GIS. I think that the problem is due to the differentoperating systems, rental However, can I open and edit (resize etc.) files in preview without any problem, so there is also a problem with Illustrator. The files that I use are more than 150 MB at 300 dpi, but I really prefer to use 600 dpi, Illustrator can't handle these files sizes? I don't want to lose the resolution using .jpeg, .pdf, etc., many types of compression will cause problems with vector layers from ArcGIS.  Please notify!

    Update your AICS4 to something with the ability to access more than 3 GB of memory RAM as CS6 or above. You'll never work with CS4, at least not to the resolution as you seem to think you need. Indeed, you could probably use 150ppi or the bottom of the poster and not obviously nothing to lose. And for the record, I worked for 17 years for the USGS working with ARCGIS and AI.

  • Cannot change the settings after the take snapshot in VM

    Hello forum, I need to increase a disc size and the number of virtual processors on couple of virtual machines, the last week I have instant tool of these virtual machines. Today, when I try to change the settings, I see that the options are grayed out. Why is it so? This is a limitation of vmware. Do I have to delete the snapshots before making changes? Which will remove the ability to roll back changes if necessary. I'm under Windows 2008 R2 virtual machines.

    Virtual disks can only increase if they have no active snapshots. The snapshot files contains modified data blocks that correspond to their parent records, and this mapping I lost if you have increased a virtual disk with snapshots.

  • Unable to take snapshots

    Hi all

    I really appreciate that you take the time to read my post.  I'm relatively new to vmware and I need assistance.

    One of my virtual machines is no longer shots. I first noticed the problem when our data backup appliance, unitrends, began to report errors when you try to back up the virtual machine.
    Their support was eventually locate the problem of unable to take a snapshot. I confirmed this by trying to take a snapshot directly with Vsphere.

    The exact error I get when trying to take a snapshot is as follows:

    *********************

    An error occurred when taking a snapshot: msg.fileio.generic.

    An error occurred saving the snapshot: msg.fileio.generic.

    Hey everybody,

    Just thought I should update.  I ended up migrating the virtual machine in another data store, because I could not remove old clichés about the original data store.

    Then, I realized that VM virtual disks had all be thick placed in service. While they took place when there was no real data on them.

    Finish by removing one of the vdisk and that solved the problem! Back ups are busy.

    Thanks to you all!

  • Cannot migrate/snapshot/consolidate/clone a vm due to

    I get the error 'Unable to access file < file name >' unspecified when I try to do a migration, clone or snapshot (they all involve making a snapshot, I guess that's why).  The esxi 5.0, same NFS volume for the source and destination host (the same fails when you try to move in a local data store).  Virtual MACHINE works very well on his part.  No 3rd party backup software has been used.

    So turns out somehow the esxi host has been corrupted (no idea how) and had mounted his vfat on each drive partitions... This was compounded by problems with NFS on this particular host.  The host is restarted (had to take down the guest unfortunately Virtual PC migration would not work), returns to the top and was able to migrate again.  Had to wipe and reinstall esxi on this host.  Not the best result, but it seems that it was a combination of NFS and visorfs.

  • Preview cannot 'Take a Screen Shot' in Firefox Mac

    I have a MacBook with OS 8.0 overview 10.10.4, and Firefox 40.0.3. Google maps, when I try to take a shot with the screen preview (file > take a screen capture > selection...) I get a popup "screenshot cannot be saved. Unable to capture the image of the office. "This is a new issue. I took card screenshots with overview and Firefox several times, but not now. The problem is not the operating system or preview because the process works fine in Chrome.

    It is not Firefox! Wandering around my laptop this morning, I finally stumbled upon the answer: this is the report of Trusteer, a program of IBM that protects against malware, and that my Bank asked me to install.

    I went to my Mac system preferences > Trusteer Endpoint Protection, clicked on 'Stop of report', then returned to Firefox >maps.google.com, and, when prompted, preview took a screenshot, just as it always has. Who would have thought?

  • Satellite P205-S6287 - webcam only takes snapshots using Win 7

    Hello.

    I recently updated my laptop from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit).
    When I did, I went through the typical rigmarole of updating my drivers and reinstall some programs or games lost. What I wasn't expecting, it was for my camera to completely stop working.

    I reinstalled the software of the camera, and it seemed to work until I tried to take a snapshot with the software after that. Now, the camera records video and audio recording, but it will not instant (I mainly use for).

    If I click on the Snapshot button, she acts like I clicked it, but no preview image and no new photos are saved in the folder my pictures.

    Any ideas? Or advice? Or help? Thank you!

    Hello

    Perhaps you should again check the path to the photo folder?
    Maybe the webcam records the images to another location on the HARD drive

  • How to take snapshots of two usb camera at the same time

    Hello

    I have a project where I have to take still photos of two usb camera at the same time repeatedly and save the in a particular direcltory. I am received using a camera by using "Camera Grab vi", but I can't make it work with 2 cameras, I use the flat sequence and 2 "Camerra Grab vi: with particular camera in a sequence, but each time when I run the program I get only pic of a camera, its seems a camera dominates the other.»

    Please is it possible to use the two camera simultaneously. Attached are the snapshot of my vi.

    Thank you

    Ankit G

    Looks like you are using the same reference at the same time grabbing the camera. The two camera snaps happen but the second camera clamp is written on the first so it seems alone is slam. Try to run the VI executiong highlighted arbitrary mode (select icon icons four bulb to the right of the button run on the schema). This will allow you to see the data stream. In order to get both of these Snap you'll need separate references. You can try to watch one of our examples in the example Finder OR give you some direction (LabVIEW > help > find examples > Browse tab > Input and Output material > IMAQdx > high level > Snap.vi). You can break the two cameras at the same time if you just copy this code and double of the code.
    (Note: If you change the examples, always save as copy in another location so that you do not save on the packed example)

  • Cannot take Photos using the LCD

    I just bought a D60 and when I try to take a picture using the LCD screen and auto focus it won't take the picture.  It will however, when I get out of auto focus or when I use the viewfinder.  But not using the LCD and AV screen on.

    Everyone knows about this problem?  If so, how to solve it?

    I assume you mean that the 60 d (he was in fact a D60, but it is more than 10 years.)

    Development of systems should has enough light and (b) an object with a certain contrast.

    For example: she would have a hard time focusing on a wall of ordinary color in dim light.  But if you give him something with contrast, going to an easier time concentrating.

    What kind of lighting you have and what kind of subject you want to photograph?

    Have you tried to test the system under ideal circumstances (beautiful light bright and contrasting topics?)

    Either way... using the camera through the viewfinder will still be faster to use liveview.  The camera actually uses different systems development depending on how you use it.

    When you use the viewfinder, autofocus camera sensors use "phase detection".  These sensors are not on the image sensor.   The reflex mirror bounces low light these sensors.  The sensors are looking for contrasting edges.  Through a Prism-like efect, part of the image moves in one direction and in the other part (imagine use a pair of scissors to cut a picture into two halves and then slightly evil align the image along the cut).  The amount of the displacement varies according to the distance of focus on the subject.   The camera is capable of analyzing the pixels along the edge to determine how the two halves should adjust, and with this, it can determine how the focus needs to be adjusted in order to bring together the image.

    There is an additional advantage to the phase system to detect.  The system is able to analyze all areas of focus at the same time.  The direction of movement tells the camera that he needs to focus closer or further away.  That means in a moment, the camaera knows _which _ AF point is on the nearest subject and he knows how and to what extent the development must settle before the picture comes to focus.  That means the phase detect AF systems is generally useless to "hunt" for focus... they know exactly which way to turn the update and how far to go to get a lock.

    The phase detection system is very fast.

    When the camera using the "live view" mode, the reflex mirror was swinging clear so that the light can strike the image sensor.  This means the tiny mirrors that bounce light in the development of phase-detect sensors are not in-game camera cannot use this system.

    Instead, it analyzes the image on the sensor trying to achieve maximum contrast in the target areas.

    The best example I can think of is to imagine a "UPC code" (bar code) and imagine what it looks like when it is 'in' focus 'out' of focus vs.  If it is, in short, you have a white background with rows of sharp, crisp, black.  But if you think that involved... colors each pixel is 'white' (background) or 'black' (scratches).  There is no pixel 'gray '.    Now, imagine this same barcode horribly blurred... you have a white background, but when you approach a black line, go you through a lot of "grey" get pixels gradually darker until you get to the black parts of the streak.   The camera knows that he emphasized when she reached the highest possible contrast between adjacent pixels.

    Unlike the "detection phase" development, the system of 'contrast' doesn't know what direction to adjust to get the update.  It samples should be taken... (adjust and see if it is better or worse... If it gets worse, reverse the sense of the update and try again).  Not only the computer did not have to do further analysis to detect if the image is sharp... He must do more iterations because of the problem of hunting of accent.

    Point & shoot cameras and 'live view' mode on cameras digital SLRS generally use this system of the development of "contrast detection.  The system is extremely accurate... but the drawback is that the computer has to analyze the image for contrast several times and it's not nearly as fast as the phase detect sensors (which are usually extremely fast).

    Cameras struggle to concentrate when there are nothing to do with contrast high to base its analysis.  They struggle in low light because there is not much difference between the dark and light areas.

    Canon has a new system called the "double pixel" AF.  They essentially combined the "phase detection" technology right on the sensor by creating micro-prismes on the surface of the imaging sensor itself.  The camera is actually capable of doing the "phase detection" style auto-focus directly on the surface of the sensor (never possible and Canon are the only company that got it.)

    The new 70 d is the first DSLR (and currently only) to get the system.

    If shoot you, you don't have the choice... the mirror must be upward in order to record videos so the camera can only use by contrast detection focus when shooting video *-with the exception of the D 70 because he can actually do "phase detection" focus directly on the sensor.
