Conversion disc Split Single File - data loss!

Hello

Something strange happened to us today. In order to migrate to VMWARE SERVER 2 to ESXi when necessary to convert expandable virtual disks, divided into 2 GB files into a single file. We used vmware-vdiskmanager - r source.vmdk t 0 destination.vmdk. All conversions went well.

Once we start a virtual machine, we noticed some missing data. In fact, the content of the virtual mas aged 4 months. We converted 10 virtual machines and happened to us in 4 of them (2 on each server).

To reproduce the error, I copy vmdk from a backup on the server. I checked for the current data and it was OK. Convert the disc but I keept the original. Once more, the data were missing. I remove disks, created a new and pointed out the OLD records not converted. The data are ALSO missing.

It was as if the drive was not having published data or something like that. On the other hand, this could be a major bug in the conversion process? (unlikely).

Any ideas what went wrong?

You are absolutely sure that there are no snapshots?

I'm not talking the Snapshot Manager in the GUI. Sometimes, it does not show the shots, even if they are present. I mean the files in the folder of the virtual machine. Can you please send a list of files (ED /oen) and the file vmx of the old virtual machine, which - when you start - shows the current files?

  • Split single-file past. Now, fixed size :(

    Hi all

    I started my VM with a split of 2 GB hdd each and then it turned into a single hdd file.

    But for some reason, the file is now constantly at full size.

    It is, therefore, more extensible.

    In settings under disc information, she says, that the disk is NOT preallocated. But for some reason, it seems that it is.

    Any ideas how can I fix?

    Once a vmdk has been expanded/swollen (reason why never) you must manually reduce it. I've never done it myself, so you try it yourself. There are a lot of descriptions on the internet that will guide you. Make sure to save the vmdk in case it does not work as expected.

  • combine files into a single PDF, sorted by file date

    I can create a single PDF from multiple PDF documents in a portfolio of emails created by Outlook, but they sort by default on the name of the topic. It seems that you must manually reorganize before finalizing the conversion process, but there are hundreds of files, which makes it almost impossible. I have the emails sorted by date in the preview pane of portfolio, but it seems not to matter. Creating this single PDF file sorted by date of the email?

    Hi kenb88710049,

    Select all emails in Outlook & then right-click to select "Convert to Adobe PDF".

    It will convert all your emails in pdf format in the same sequence in a single file.

  • Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    Numbers - how to import external data to a cell in a single file into a new cell in another file?

    I want to do the same thing in numbers (3.6.2 (2577) I used to do in Excel (any version):)

    to import a calculation of a cell in a file in a new cell in another file.

    Example: I want to import the result of a sum in a specific cell of my accountant in August to a cell in comparison in my accounting of September.

    It was so easy in Excel. Until the reference computer broke down.

    By the numbers, I tried to copy - paste the contents of the cell formulated, but not good.

    No help manual online or anywhere. I think that maybe the function is absent in number.

    Then I return to MicroSoft Excel, that I have used for many years and I am sorry to say feel much more wysiwyg.

    Formulas in a numbers document cannot reference cells in other documents of numbers.

    "Much more wysiwyg" is another way to express what many of those who "used (MS Excel) for many years" expressed as "more intuitive. These two descriptions usually boil up to ' what I'm used to, ", which is also true in the other sense.

    Whatever the real explanation, the standard advice is "the tool that will do the job." If "the job" requires referencing values in a separate document, the numbers (alone and without the help of AppleScript) are not the best tool for this job.

  • Transfer of files between drives: data loss or corruption?

    1. Is there data loss or corruption during the transfer of files between disks in Windows 7?
    2. What about very large files, gigabytes in size?
    3. Is it possible to check if there is data loss or corruption?

    Creation and verification of a checksum is a file operation.  It doesn't matter where the files are stored.

    It doesn't matter if the source is a CD, a USB flash drive or a hard drive.  As much as the destination is concerned, if you write a large file on a CD, the possibility of error is greater if copy to a USB flash drive or an external hard drive.  Which is why you often see tips to burn at the slowest speed available when writing large critical files as an ISO installation file.

    The only difference between 'copy' and 'move' is this movement copies the file and automatically deletes the original.

    You want to make sure that the file copied correctly before the original has disappeared.  The way to ensure that is to perform a copy operation, check the integrity of the copied file and delete the original.

    A LOSS OF DATA OCCURRED.

    What is going on?

    Rebuilt all of the relevant files related to the program, Mac OS x 10.7.5 cleaned

    All... always referenced the file opens with missing data (colorful box and setting the white guy in two areas on the product)

    Not good legacy import

    Someone needs to open the file in CC and save in a compatible version of CS6. CS6 can open older versions, without data loss, but not the files of CC.

  • Restore and recover a single file of data/Tablespace to reclaim space

    Oracle 11 G R2 with node 2 RAC, ASM and Data Guard

    11.2 Solaris

    I have a Bigfile Tablespace TB 5 on Production which has a very large table containing LOB data. Most of the LOBs have been deleted so now the space used is only 200G.

    I need to recover the space (to 4.8) below the high water mark (HWM). We tried all the usual methods (shrink, move, reorg online), but due to the enormous size of the space, they are all would require to take my Production database down for many hours. Also, I have limited disk space to work with.

    In 11 G RMAN skips data file blocks that do not contain at present no data when you save to disk for a backupset.

    I came with a possible alternative to reclaim space with RMAN below:

    1. turn the offending offline data file

    ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE OFFLINE 3.

    2 restore and recover the offending using data file:

    RUN {}

    SET NEWNAME for DATAFILE 3 on NEW;

    RESTORE THE 3 DATA FILE;

    DATAFILE 3 SWITCH;

    RECOVER DATA 3 FILE;

    }

    3. place the new file data online

    ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 3 ONLINE;

    First: Will this work?

    Second: When I restore this data file, it will ignore the HWM on original table space and restore just the 200 GB of data, or he will restore the 5 TB of blocks used or not?

    Thank you.

    RMAN ignores empty blocks during the backup, but restoration will create the same file size as it has been earlier and restore data later. So you will get no benefit from it.

  • Need help to avoid data loss on a corrupt and/or failure to hard drive

    I don't know what happened. One minute I'm surfing the web and listening to music on iTunes. Then out of nowhere he had a sudden failure. Changed not long at all, but now when I try to turn on my computer, it starts normally but then shortly after that the chime and the apple logo appear, if a progress indicator yet that I've never seen before today. Until the progress bar is still the size of my little finger nail, the computer turns off just. I started in recovery mode and run disk check and repair utility. Make sure the disc is not far off when he said something like - disc cannot be checked completely. Disk needs to be repaired. So when I click on the repair disk, it works only for maybe a minute before it comes up saying - utility disk can't repair the disk. Upwards from your many possible files, reformat the drive and restore your backed up files. So obviously it's not good. What are my options and can I do to avoid losing data that is not already saved? I have a lot of things that have not been backed up and lose some of them would be pretty damning. That's my main goal; data loss as little as possible. My computer is an iMac 2012 end Mavericks 10.9.5 running.

    Thank you.

    You do not have a current backup? If this is not the case, your only real option may be to pay a data recovery company and see if they can help you. Which can be very expensive.

  • Restore a single file of a snapshot.

    Please consider a 'backup' every night which is carried out by:

    1. instant comments (suspended)

    2 clone the underlying data store (using "zfs snapshot" in my case that captures all files vmdk/vmsd/vmxf/vswp/lck/nvram/etc)

    3 remove the snapshot.

    Question: How can I go on the recovery of a single file from the file system of comments a few days ago?  I have at my disposal the entire repertoire of the VM from the underlying data store, such as he was cloned (files in point 2 above).  I guess that my options are:

    a. somehow say ESXi to bring up the snapshot taken in step 2.  Say ESXi parallel to the direct guest who is still ongoing.  Say ESXi to bring this backup but without any internet connection, so it does not interact with the network when you restore.  While the backup is in place, the files I need.

    b. somehow, mount the NTFS volume that has been captured in step 2.  This can be difficult if the NFTS volume was spread over several disks hard vmdk (typical 2 TB by-pass)

    c. < your idea here >

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Read my instructions carefully:

    1 clone your current VM. Original VM can be online - only with the right button and clone. (Do not power on the cloned VM) and then get rid of all readers (vmdk) except the system drive.

    2. now mount all vmdk backup where you have the file you want to restore. Of course, you need to get this snapshot on the data store connected to the host.

    3. remove the NIC in the cloned virtual computer and turn it on. Most likely, it will load normally and you will see the previous state and the file you want.

    4. now, the trick is to copy this file to the original virtual machine. Therefore add new disk on the cloned virtual machine.

    5 format the new drive and copy the desired file

    6. remove the cloned VM disk and attach it to the original virtual machine. Copy it.

    And bharathl will not work because you have SPLIT volume through some VMDK. Therefore, you have cloned VM with the same config as original virtual machine.

  • Irregular data loss - function from PL/SQL returning data using Ref Cursor

    Database Version: 10.2.0.4.0 (node 2 CARS)

    The high-level process flow is as below:
    (1) insert records in a few tables & commit the same
    (2) call the pl/sql function to extract files (on certain conditions with joins with other tables) of the tables which are filled in step 1.
    -> It uses the ORDER BY clause to queries inline & line number 5000 records return for each call.
    Sense - if inline query is supposed to return 1,00,000 records then 20 calls to the same function. This, because the application cannot contain records beyond number.
    (3) the data returned by the ref cursor is then processed by application (Tibco BW) to generate the flat file.

    We are facing the problem of data loss in the file and there is no fixed model. It happens once between 200-300 calls process.
    Resolution: When the problem occurs, triggering the process and in almost every time re-outbreak of the process provides required data.

    Guidance on what could be the reason?

    * Examples of Code for the function:

    Your SELECT statement is almost certainly incorrect

    SELECT *
      FROM ( SELECT A.HIERARCHY_KEY, B.KEY, B.VAL_KEY, A.KEY_NEW, C.ITEMID, B.VAL_TAG, B.sort_order,ROWNUM ROWNUMBER
               FROM AOD_HRCH_ITEM A, AOD_HRCH_ATTR B, AOD_HRCH_ITEMS C
              WHERE A.outputid = B.outputid
                AND A.outputid = C.outputid AND A.outputkey = B.outputkey
                AND A.outputkey = C.outputkey AND A.outputid = outinstrid
                AND A.outputkey = outinstrkey AND A.ITEM_SEQ = B.ITEM_SEQ
                AND A.ITEM_SEQ = C.ITEM_SEQ AND A.HIERARCHY_LEVEL_ORDER = B.SORT_ORDER
              ORDER BY A.HIERARCHY_LEVEL_ORDER DESC)
     WHERE ROWNUMBER < rownumbereend
       AND ROWNUMBER >= rownumberstart;
    

    Since the ORDER BY is applied after the ROWNUM is assigned in this case, your query is requested for a period of 5000 lines any arbitrariness. It would be perfectly valid for a single line to return in each of your 200 different calls or for a line to return in any of them.

    You definitely want to do something in the sense of the canonical askTom wire

    select *
      from ( select a.*, rownum rnum
               from ( YOUR_QUERY_GOES_HERE -- including the order by ) a
              where rownum <= MAX_ROWS )
     where rnum >= MIN_ROWS
    

    That said, it seems inconceivable that Tibco is unable to manage a cursor that returns more than a certain number of lines. You do a ton of work to return the data pages that are certainly not necessary. Unless you're saying that you somehow paralyzed your installation of Tibco giving him a ridiculously small amount of memory to process, something doesn't look good. A slider is just a pointer - it holds that no data - so the number of lines that you can extract a slider should have no impact on the amount of memory on the client application needs.

    As others have already pointed out, your exception handler is almost certainly do more harm than good. Return the error codes and error messages as from the OUT parameters, instead of simply allowing the exception to propagate deletes a ton of useful information (such as the mistake of the stack) and makes your process much less robust.

  • What are the causes of data loss during an update?

    Just what are really the causes of data loss or corruption when you update. Most sites will tell you to back up what I'm doing, but none of them actually appoint a cause to save.

    -Thanks in advance

    Minor updates in an OSX * may * break the file system.  Fully upgrades to other OSX replaces almost all file systems.

    Some backup of people even before you install some software packages, because they know how this package changes directories OSX.

    Backups are never a waste of time.

  • Satellite A40-151 started very slow and have hours to transfer a single file

    Hello.

    I've had my A40-151 more than two years now, and up to last month, I got no problems at all. However, last month, it began to be very slow and took hours to initialize. I'm worried that I would lose all the data that I didn't back up, and so I bought an external drive to transfer data.

    As I was doing this, my laptop started making grinding noises, and it took up to 12 hours to transfer a single file. I got to the place, I bought it, and they said it had crashed and that it was not something they could do other than get it back - and so I lost all my data.

    When I came back, it was OK for a few hours and then started grinding again! And I think it might be something to do with the CD/DVD drive. I uninstalled the drive, and the squeaking seems to have stopped as long as the "drawer" player is open! Help, please!

    How can I get the drive replaced? My laptop is no longer under warranty. No I lost everything this that data for nothing?

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    No, the squeaking is probably from the reader of CD/DVD being dry, while optical rides on squeak track passing. But the long loading is certainly a hard drive problem. Looks like a head crash. The head is more or less what locates and reads/writes data from the HARD drive. When this plant it is unable to read/write/or locate the data on the surface taking more and more to save the data, transfer data and load the operating system. Two problems independent of each other. If your ASP cannot repair the cd that squeaks, then they can replace it one that works normally. I hope this has helped you.

  • Producer/consumer vs Master/Slave of data loss

    Hello users of Labview,.

    I did experiment with vs p / M/S lately in the context of data aquistion. Many messages did appear (correct me if I'm wrong) that p/c is the correct architecture to if the data retention is desired, so that's what I tried to implement.

    In the loop of producer, I've included 3 Assistant DAQ VIs (2AO, 1 HAVE), which generates data actively and which is being queued. I have 3 other loops of consumers, two of which are consumer 1) written loops of 2) outputs TDMS data of a chart 3) no producer: structure of the event, monitors changes to the user interface.

    When I run data acquisition, the generated file are always half either acquire the half of the sample that I've specified regardless of the sampling rate. I also have a strange displayed graph (see image).

    However,.

    If I replace with a master/slave architecture, this seems to solve the problem.

    So question is: anyone met with this kind of problems? Are there disadvantages to stick with M/S instead of p/c in terms of data loss?

    Thank you

    I think I'm well done

    You are not.  Once an article is removed, he went.  Since you have three loops made of the same queue, each loop will get ~1/3 of the data.  If all the loops are to treat everything, then you want another line for each loop and meet the producer, write to each queue.  You can also use a user event.
