Consolidate the Snap Shot or remove the snapshot, which should not

Dear Experts,

We have a Linux virtual machine, and we recently increased its vmdk to add more than 10 GB but before doing so, we took a snapshot of State off the machine. Increase now the space is done and now if I see the drive for this machine, it shows me 'thick' 35GB

It is the only snap shot we have for this machine. If I click with the right button on computer and go the snapshot > I see here snapshot manager, take a snapshot, back to the snapshot current and last is to consolidate.

If I go to the Snapshot Manager, I see the point where I am now and the last point that is marked as 'before you increase the space', so I need to click on consolidate OR click the old cliché and delete to maintain the current state of the machine? How the two are different consolidate and remove all?

If the disk is thick, I can still get rid of snapshots? Please see attached images

Thank you and waiting for response.

So what I understand now is the consolidation option should be used when on condition is true:

operation "snapshot disks compress after delete or clear all ', other wise I should go for delete snapshot in normal condition, please correct me if I got hurt?

Peacebuilding operation removes all your recovery logs 'redundant '. But removing any operation remove your shots and consolidate on a single disc.

Consolidation will cause no change in the number of snapshots. But delete / delete all will remove them actually snapshots and the present changes in this snapshot will be written back to the parent disk. And also always remove snapshot operation was launched with a peacebuilding operation.

Let me know if you need additional information here.

Delta records are created whenever a snapshot is taken?

Yes.

I have a vcenter Server virtual and it have a snapshot that we created when we start building the vcenter, can I remove it so that I am connected to vcenter server using Vsphere client.

Yes you can delete it. But since its vCenter, please ensure that you have enough space available in your data store to perform a snapshot of deletion operation. The required space are perfectly explained by Duncan Epping in his blog...

You could see some more pictures to the 'section of the messages at the bottom of the linked page.

Please post your request here, if you want more help.

  • Get ' attribute xsi: Nil unauthorized pool of the element, which is not nillable.»

    I am trying to create a simple workflow that puts into service a virtual machine. below is the error message I get:

When I go to run the workflow, the error message above is displayed. I don't have pools of resources in my group, I have to have Pools of resources to provide for vco? I hope not. I wonder if there is something I will never forget in my workflow. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The API we use in 'Create Simple Virtual Machine' - createVM_Task() - creates the virtual machine and attach it to a pool of resources, it requires a resource pool parameter.

    API documentation is available on the Web, for example. for createVM_Task, you can watch https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk41pubs/ApiReference/vim.Folder.html#createVm

  • vCenter esx 5.5 - consolidate the snapshot fails with an error occurred by consolidating the discs: msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND?

    I don't know why is this error?

    I got an error that the virtual disk space was low tool and my vm has been automatically turned off.  I scoured the data store and I saw old clichés that were very important which could be removed.

    I went into the Snapshot Manager and has tried deleting them and started getting the error msg.snapshot.error - NOTFOUND.

    The clichés that I deleted since the Snapshot Manager always appear when I browse the data store, but are locked.

    I really need to be able to consolidate these pictures in the parent company.  100 GB free on the store of data right now.

    If I try to take a new snapshot it fails and says: an error has occurred when taking a snapshot: msg.disklib.OPENPARENT.

    I also noticed after the fact that my hard drive is pointing to the most recent snapshot rather than to the parent.

    I think if I edit the .vmx file and change it so that it points to the parent would be the load, but then I will not lose the clichés?

    I like to keep at least the most recent roll in parent company snapshot.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    Thanks for the reply.  Unfortunately, a part of the problem is that the data store was running out of space.  If I didn't have space or time to try a clone.

    I did a reboot and after that has been able to update the CID to get the right string after I changed the hard drive to point to the base file, power, created a snapshot, turned off and pointed to the hard drive in the last snapshot.

    But there was a corrupt, one in the list since my VM corrupted after all the snapshots consolidated (+ 6 hours later).

    I didn't have a lot of time to continue to troubleshoot or try a clone on another virtual server, we have little space so I started from scratch.

    Fortunately, I discovered that my backups of the data have been very well, I so reinstalled Windows and started from scratch.

    Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Hope this helps someone else because I just watched as he went to work, and I don't know if a clone would have gotten it going or not.

  • Update of the statutes, which are not in a collection does not work

    Y does it have to consider if I want to change the content of an article, which is not in a particular collection?

    There is a link from a normal (in collection) article to this article (not in collection).

    I exported a new .article file, updated on the portal, he has published once again and saved the Preview button.

    Was it something wrong?

    I checked with the team and, unfortunately, you are right there is no way to update an article that is not a collection on any one of the three platforms. The only way she'll get an update is when it is removed from the device when clean us up to make room for the new downloaded content.

  • Subjects shown in the search results which should not show

    When I saw the compiled help file and do a search for a word it's subjects displaying that I don't want to show. These topics are not in the table of contents and are not indexed.

    I inherited our co writer Tech so I learn about HR by trial and error. I use RH7. The help files are created in the HR 5 (or earlier) but had to install on Vista RH7.

    While working on an existing HR help file I have a few topics that were mistakes, from me to experiment, or are the old one that I am updating and change. In both cases, I thought I could leave them hidden inside, just for safety or return to. I guess if they have not been put in the TOC or indexed, that they should not show to the outside world. When I search on a word that is in the title of the topic or text these topics are listed.

    Can I prevent it from is displayed in search? They do not show in the TOC, and they do not show in the Index. Is my only option to remove? I have looked through the properties of the subject and can't find a solution.

    Thank you

    Jim

    I should add for example I created a label called Admin building, and I attribute it to themes and content in the project for my own reference, but customers shouldn't see. I also have tags assigned to a content build that is inserted in my project of changes to the software that are further down the road the next version so I can exclude until the release is ready.

  • The items are displayed on the left pane of the Windows Explorer, which should not

    I just got a new computer with Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3.  I'm the only user & my 'Phil' user account has administrator privileges.  All of a sudden, when I open Windows Explorer, I see records of the tree (left) that I don't want.  I see the files that are on my desk, and other.

    Mobile device folder (which is not on my desk)
    Shared documents (from 'All Users', which is not on my desk)
    Documents of the administrator (which isn't on my desk)
    Several files that I keep on my desk
    In addition, I see "Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX", which is a program & should not be in the tree on the left side.

    I must have done something when I copied the folders & files from my old computer on my desk.  But I don't know what I did.  Is there a registry entry where I can hide or delete these folders to be seen on the left side of Windows Explorer.

    Don't know what to try.  I think it happened after that I have almost everything (files, shortcuts) copied from my old computer (also WinXP Pro) to my new from a backup, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks in advance,
    Phil

    OK, never mind.  I thought I did something to cause this, but I just plugged my old computer to a monitor & it shows the same thing... I guess my memory is bad.

    It seems to be a typo here. Can clarify you...

    The error "[Macromedia] [SQLServer JDBC Driver] [SQL Server] procedure or function 'ListClientDPReceiptFormat' expects the parameter '@idCient', which was not provided."  the parameter defined as @idCient but your cfprocparam dbvarname = has ' @idClient'. .

    These are spelled differently.


    I think that this may be related to what is mentioned in this bug - Bug #3865064 - ColdFusion 11 3 CFPROCRESULT case update


    Adam Cameron notes:


    " Basically, then, it's a matter of the code in question was wrong, but the user has been getting away with it because the DBVARNAME was ignored. Now that it is not ignored, the code must actually be legitimate ;-). Very well, in that case. »

    As the title suggests my question is fairly simple. I want to withdraw the license of the laptop that primer is more, but I can't find information on how to do it.

    If the copy of Windows 8 is delivered with your computer (OEM) license is related to this that computer and you cannot install it on any other computer. If you purchased Windows 8 then just use your editing equipment and install it on another computer. When you get an error indicating that your copy is to use already activate by phone.  Here are the instructions; Windows key + R, type slui 4, choose your country, call the phone number, when you get an automated response or say nothing and wait to be connected to a "no live assistance, explain your problem in full and the tech will be able to activate your Windows 8 for you.
