Copy it to a VMDk after a snapshot

• Instant VMDK files do not delete after deleting snapshots

  Hi - I have a server SLES/OES2 with two discs - 75 and 750 GB.  I deleted a few shots after that test app and I'm back to instant No.  The data store always shows two files VMDK - server_1 - 000001.vmdk (17 GB) and server_1 - 000002.vmdk (56 GB).  The second is still active in this sound change timestamp.

  This is the last section of the VMX file:

  debugStub.linuxOffsets = "0x2d1ac, 0xffffffff, 0 x 0 0 x 0, 0xc58223b, 0x0, 0xc582254, 0x0, 0x2d1a8, 0 x 0 0 x 0 0 x 0, 0xc58226c, 0 x 0"

  scsi0:1.filename = "SSS-SLES-TEST_1 - 000002.vmdk.

  scsi0:1.mode = "persistent".

  scsi0:1.ctkEnabled = "FALSE".

  scsi0:1.DeviceType = "scsi-disk" hard

  scsi0:1.present = 'TRUE '.

  scsi0:1.redo = «»

  I got 32 GB free in the data store until I deleted snapshots, then he went to 0 GB free!  I deleted ISO files, and now it's up to 3.7 GB free. The total data store is 1.36 TB

  There were not errors when deleting sanpshot - although it took awhile.

  All this started because I had forgotten that this VM had snapshots and I started to copy the data to the server and got a warning that server_1 - 000001.vmdk was full and remove the space.

  I don't think that the virtual machine is healthy!  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  You can try to power down the virtual machine, taking another cliché and with a bit of luck the entire tree of the snapshot will be detected. After that, keep the VM down and try to delete all snapshots.

• Size VMDK after snapshot

  Hello

  I think I have misunderstood a feature of instant releated.

  We did a snapshot to reduce the total space of VM and remove all previous (so VM is on the total hard disk space + a few log files).

  When you restart the computer, virtual, the file:

  Vm02 - 000001.vmdk

  develops within a few minutes of 1 MB to 800 MB.

  Structure of hard disk cannot change so much in a short time (Windows Update just do before stop).

  Then why this file becomes so big so fast?

  Thank you

  Vincent

  Snapshots set the file hard base (your virtual drive) in a read-only mode, and all changes are kept in a new file, your "Vm02 - 000001.vmdk". If this file retains the delta between the read-only base file and the actual state of the guest. That is why it is more.

  When you delete the snapshot all the changes of this delta file are rewritten on your hard base to keep the changes. If you want to go back to the point where you took the photo, the delta file is deleted, the virtual guest is indented to the State stored in the base file and a new delta file is generated to keep the new changes.

  The snapshot is not used to reduce the basic disk. BTW the shrinkage is only possible when you have created the basic format disc thin provisioned.

  With vSphere you must have sVmotion to shrink a thin disc put into service from a data to another store or by cloning the prompt and choose the clone must use a fine service as target disc. You must run "sdelete" of the suite of tools sysinternal before doing so, so that the guest OS releases really already used data blocks.

  Thanks for the additional files. This makes it easier for me to fix the broken file.

  Now, we must download to the folder of the virtual machine. You should do this via CLI/winscp like I don't know what will happen when you try to download using the browser of data store.

  After you download the file, open the browser of data store. We shouldn't see the delta file.

  Then click right of the virtual machine in the inventory, select 'Remove inventory', right-click on the vmx file in browser data store and select "add to the inventory.

  In "Settings", you should now see the size of the disc OK for the 3rd disc with the size in gray (since it is a snapshot).

  If everything is ok, you can start the virtual machine now or take another cliché before starting.

• Consolidate files vmdk (lack of snapshots)

  I made the mistake of trying to free up space by deleting all snapshots, and then decide the ESX Server was insensitive and rebooted. I got the chance to still have virtual machines of work later. I now 17 files vmdk disk of the virtual machine, but given that the snapshots have been deleted, I can't delete just them. Is there an easy way to consolidate in the vmdk to parent?

  Hello

  To consolidate all snapshots, you need to make sure that all the file descriptor and the discs are in the same directory, I would advice if you can make a copy of the entire folder first if you have enough space. Now for consolidation, you need to make sure that the first you cross all the descriptor files and make sure you have the correct mapping of PID and CID. PID: Disk Parent, CID: the child disk.

  Lets say you start from the base.vmdk, it will not all PID as the parent root it will be 00001.vmdk CID, of same will PID as the basis and CID 00002.vmdk 00001.vmdk you must ensure that this channel is maintained by the last disk.

  Once this is done then you can run vmkfstools-i on the latest snapshot of disk and create a new destination disk that will be the new combined disk that will have all of the snapshots are committed on the basic disk.

  Thank you

• Cannot start VM due to missing file after consolidating snapshots

  I'm looking for help in a number of cliché I'll have my VM.  I try to be complete in my description of the problem in order to encourage aid without someone having to ask a lot of follow-up questions.  I appreciate the help that you can give me!

  I'm using ESXi 3.5 update 2 with all SATA storage facilities.  Due to speed issues, I want to move all the VMs on the server, rebuild on Windows Server 2008, install VMWare Server 2 and settle the VMs.  I installed Server 2008 on a different hard drive, so I can return to the ESXi if a problem any.

  While it has been initialized to ESXi, I removed all the snapshots of my virtual machines (or at least I thought I had), so that the vmdk was the most recent copy.  Then I used VMWare Converter to copy the ESXi virtual machines on my desktop as a VMWare workstation files.  I started in Server 2008 and created a store of data via CIFS to check share I could start all virtual machines before removing the ESXi constantly and reappropriation of disk space.

  VMWare Server 2, all virtual machines has worked, except one - the Zocalo VM booted up like the original version, which was the State it was in before the first snapshot.  I started with ESXi and noticed that I could no longer boot Zocalo.  Looking at the directory of the data store, I saw three snapshots, but the Snapshot Manager not seen at all.  Here are the files found:

  -rw -- 1 root root 15820978176 12 Oct 04:17 Zocalo-000001 - delta.vmdk

  The Zocalo.vmsd file shows the three snapshots.  However, the third photo shows the files that exist (Zocalo_1.vmdk, Zocalo_2.vmdk and Zocalo_3.vmdk).  Here is the part of the vmsd file:

  snapshot2.Disk0.filename = "Zocalo - 000001.vmdk".
  snapshot2.Disk0.node = "scsi0:0". »
  snapshot2. Disk1.filename = ' / vmfs/volumes/48d708a7-3a9519e6-b432-0022157a057e/Zocalo/Zocalo_1.vmdk '.
  snapshot2. Disk1.node = "scsi0:1".
  snapshot2. Disk1.mode = '1 '.
  snapshot2.Disk2.filename = ' / vmfs/volumes/48d708a7-3a9519e6-b432-0022157a057e/Zocalo/Zocalo_2.vmdk '.
  snapshot2.Disk2.node = "scsi0:2".
  snapshot2.Disk2.mode = '1 '.
  snapshot2.Disk3.filename = ' / vmfs/volumes/48d708a7-3a9519e6-b432-0022157a057e/Zocalo/Zocalo_3.vmdk '.
  snapshot2.Disk3.node = "scsi0:3".
  snapshot2.Disk3.mode = '1 '.

  I did extensive research to find a solution to this problem.  A solution I found was to rename the vmsd, create another cliché and remove it so it would automatically incorporate the old clichés.  However, this does not work.

  VMware converter has done something destructive to this virtual machine? How can I incorporate these snapshots in a final vmdk? I really want to lose the data because the backup I have is old.

  If you are using vmware converter, then you don't have to worry about snapshots.  In essence, it will create a new disk that is a grouping of all your shots.

• Why have I not [VM name] _1.vmdk, _2.vmdk with no snapshots?

  Hello

  I'm trying to consolidate my VMs to a small size file, so I can transfer them to a new server. I had a number of snapshots for a long time already. I deleted all the snapshots for virtual machine is flat. Then I looked at the files in the data store for the virtual machine. I see the big following files:

  . [The virtual computer name] VMDK

  [VM name] _1.vmdk

  [VM name] _2.vmdk

  All three have the same size, and all three are the size of the hard disk of the virtual computer. The virtual machine uses [VM name] _2.vmdk as the player.

  Why are there three that seem to be three copies of the file hard drive? Is there a way to merge them so I have only a transfer?

  Errors are happening because the names of key to mapping - CCopiedHomeSideNavView and CCopiedHomeDetailView - was not found.

  These keys have been sought in the following models:

  Model: 1351276333839 (Page/CCopiedSideNav):

  Model: 1351276333823 (Page/CCopiedDetail):

  See how he's looking for the key by adding the subtype of the model name page.

  Note that after the site of adaptation, the subtypes are also preceded by "CCopied", for example Home-> CCopiedHome.

  However, if you look at the section of mapping of the above models, the keys are not preceded by "CCopied". This is why WCS has not been able to search for the keys of the mapping.

  What you could do is-

  1 change the key value in the render tag: search to look for existing keys

  2 or change the name of the key by prefixing them with your own prefix in the Map section for models in question.

  Note that when you browse the pages of the copied site, you could get similar errors for other mapping keys and you have to fix as well.

• New VM broke out after the snapshot has been taken

  I just created a new Linux Debian 500 VM, I started and took a snapshot of the current state, until I installed VMware tools.  In the middle of the snapshot and once completed the virtual machine in gray and stop and wouldn't start up.  I also tried to get around by creating a new virtual machine and using its virtual disk already existing and not worked, made a mistake of locking file.   Attached are some of my log files.  Thank you for your help in advance.

  This disk must have a corresponding vmdk file that is needed.  Otherwise, this file will not be read by the virtual machine and can not be used.  I thought that was missing before, that's why I had you create a new drive of the same size, so you can reuse this other file descriptor to go with this - flat.vmdk file.  Who is?

• Possibility to choose a vmdk file in snapshots?

  Hi all

  When you take an instant I know in general, it takes a snapshot of all the vmdk files, but is there a way you can single snapshot 1 vmdk files?  Say so you have a virutal thus machine configuration:

  OSdrive.vmdk - 20 GB

  Datadrive.VMDK - 200 GB

  Could take you only file shot vmdk operating system drive? or do you always have to take both?

  Hello

  The only way I know to not to take a snapshot of a drive is to put the reader in persistent mode... Snapshots of the VIC or all or nothing. The command line, it also seems to be all or nothing. So, if you rather not instantaneous a change in disk mode/type.
