Correct use of snapshots

• What is this average "use no snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours.

  All,

  We use snapshots to test a lot. I'm trying to justify the use of snapshots for our case. I saw the best practices and understand the negative impacts of the snapshots.

  Best practices: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1025279

  Best practices says "use no snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours." Snapshots should not be maintained for long periods of time for application or Virtual Machine version control".» My understanding of the above is that we do not run or keep running virtual machine or use it on a specific snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours, and that's okay create a snapshot and hold it for a period longer than 72 hours, so that we can return to him. Is this correct?

  For example, there are two snapshots in a virtual machine at the same level are not nested.

  VM1

  -TestSnapShot1

  -TestSnapShot2

  For testing purposes, developers go back to TestSnapShot1 or TestSnapShot2 and do their tests. Most of the time the virtual machine is used for a day or two in its current state, after what the VM is back again for testing. The snapshots themselves remain many more months.

  Run the virtual machine for more than 72 hours could lead to more changes of the original and the delta records increases in size, returning the VMS to the snapshot will reset the drive from delta to the same size it was when it was created. If it minimizes the delta increasingly drive out of control so we do not run for long periods on a snapshot.

  This is how we currently use snapshots.

  Is my understanding correct, or should not even maintain us a snapshot for a long period of time.

  Thank you

  what you are referring

  "Don't use any single snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours. Snapshots should not be maintained for long periods of time for application or Virtual Machine version control purposes.

  is for virtual machines in Production, i.e. where it is always best not too keep snapshots during a prolonged period of time.

  But the use cases that you refer is different, for this purpose, manage your photos in the way which find you most suited to your needs.

• What is use of snapshot?

  I had a VM with 1 snapshot and I want to make the same copy of virtual machine using a snapshot. is it possible

  machine virtual Windows 2003 COMP-1 with snapshot

  COMP-2 Plain windows 2003 machine (I copied the file snapshot of comp comp-1-2) to get the same environment

  Delta files have only the current state...

  Without the base file you can not do something useful.

• Correct use of setControllerFactory in FXMLLoader?

  Hello
  
  I'm trying to load a node FXML using my own controller using JavaFX 2.1 included in the JDK 7u4.
  All discussions point to the setControllerFactory method, but when I try to apply the code below, the plant is never called leaving the node without the controller.
  (the FXML does not set the fx:controller).
  
  I've probably missed the correct use, but I can't understand. A tip?
  

   private Node loadNodeWithCtrl(final Object instance, String fxmlPath, ResourceBundle rb) {
          URL url = this.getClass().getResource(fxmlPath);
          FXMLLoader fxmlLoader = new FXMLLoader(url, rb);
          fxmlLoader.setControllerFactory(new Callback<Class<?>, Object>() {
  
              @Override
              public Object call(Class<?> paramClass) {
                  // Never reached <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 
                  Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.INFO, "Using provided controller");
                  return instance;
              }
          });
     
          try {
              Node node = (Node) fxmlLoader.load();
              return node;
          } catch (IOException ex) {
              Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
          }
          return null;
      }

  Concerning
  
  Jean-Michel

  This is the correct behavior. Controller factories provide a way for an application to customize the construction of controllers specified via the fx:controller attribute. If you do not use fx:controller, then the controller factory will not be called.

• Please help with a correct use of the "snapshot" function

  Hello

  I have recently updated to Pro - 9 11-Pro.

  With the 9-Pro version, I could take a snapshop of a portion of a page in a PDF doc and paste it elsewhere in the same doc (another page), or a different PDF doc.

  I just don't seem to be able to do the same thing with 11-Pro.  I don't know that there is a way.

  All your comments/opinions will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hmm... I can take the snapshot with Acrobat 9, but stick that this does not work for me, as you describe. I can only paste like a stamp with the help of the: Tools > comment & markup > places the picture on the Clipboard as stamp tool

  In Acrobat 11, this tool is available under: comment > Annotations > add stamp [tool] > Place the Image on the Clipboard as stamp tool

• What is the use of snapshots of consolidation?

  I've read up, but I'm still not really what is the usefulness of this feature.

  Please can someone enlighten me?

  Also please correct if my train of thoughs is wrong:

  i. instant aren't really backups

  II. the Snapshots are supposed to be taken so that the virtual machine can be recovered at this point in time (for example, before the Windows Update)

  III. snapshots are "integrated" with dare the virtual machine (via VMware Tools), which means that we can make the Brownie when virtual machines are on the rise.

  -Windows 2008?

  -Microsoft SQL?

  IV. Snapshots would take place outside the VMs

  -The data store should be much larger then the VMS (for example if the virtual machine is 200 GB, datastore shd be 300 GB to VMDK + Snapshots)

  -Snapshot sizes would grow as time passes (eg. instant 100 days ago risked increasing from 10 GB to 20 GB according to the changes made to the virtual machine)

  v. recommendations (by VM)

  -Do not to keep snapshots to extend the periods of time

  -Do not keep too many clichés

  -"consolidate" snapshots

  So, what is the difference between "Consolidate" and "Delete All"?

  I think you may have the wrong idea of the snapshot...

  I would like to use Windows update + service pack installation for example.

  VM with MS svr 2003 running... you can install SP1, and then test, can install updates to Windows, and then test.

  -snapshot 1 (sn1): Win2003 Updates & SP

  -Install of Win2003 SP1 (with reboot etc.)

  -snapshot 2 (sn2): Win 2003 SP1

  -Install Windows updates current on Win2003 SP1

  -snapshot 3 (sn3): Win 2003 SP1 with updates

  -svr stable for 5 days (eg. installing Acrobat reader, Microsoft office)

  So u shd have 3 pictures... who all "grows" that you test your DVS.

  But your VM will be 4 types of main file (with respect to this context)

  1. basis of files of the virtual machine (vmdk, vmx, memory of the computer virtual, swp files etc.)

  2 VM snapshot file

  3 VM snapshot files swp (swap is maybe not correct name... but I do think that the proper name)

  In terms of logic...

  -'sn1' is the basis of the snapshot

  -"sn2" is "sn1" + "data1."

  -"sn3" is "sn1" + "data1" + data2.

  "- VM1 is sn1' + 'data1' + data2 ' + data unnamed swap

  The 5th day of test, the virtual machine will have files for

  ' '- sn1', "sn2", "sn3", 'data1', 'base VM,' data2 ' and unnamed swap data that are generated during the 5 days of tests.

  Then from the right 'consolidation' will convert the name in "data3" swap so that

  -'sn1' is the snapshot of base + 'data3 '.

  -"sn2' is 'sn1' + 'data1', 'data3 '.

  -"sn3" is 'sn1' + 'data1' data2' + 'data3 '.

  "- VM1 is sn1' + 'data1' + data2 ' + 'data3 '.

  In a way layman... Virtual machines with snapshot are VMs who have ΘtΘ divisΘs into multiple files.

  "" When you remove stereotypes (please do not try everything remove), what you do is merge sn1 "+"data1"+ data2 ' + data not named swap or 'data3' in a virtual machine.

  Sorry... I forgot to add... Please do not receive or keep snapshots VMware for long periods of time.

  The snapshots are not backup. They can line up while you have yourself photographed... soon...

• Correct use of Lightroom clipping indicators

  Indicators of clipping in Lightroom show when one or all channels are cut in the shadows or highlights, but I've seen them used in two ways:

  1. Use them as an indicator of when you have pure white / black as well as a range of tones is comprehensive in both shadow and highlight clipping indicators show (although maybe only a small number of pixels will actually cut.
  2. Use them as an indicator of when you have gone too far, so when a clipping indicator shows, the user back slightly, so for a range of tones complete the white and black points will be just before the onset of clipping indicators.

  So who is correct? They indicate a value has been pushed back beyond maximum (or minimum) or that a value is to the minimum or maximum?

  I asked the same question about photography Exchange battery, and here's the most obvious answer of Abdul N Quraishi:

  When you are looking to place a maximum point of black or white, both scenarios, you mention can be regarded as good or bad as they both provide an indication only.

  If develop for export in jpeg format for display on the monitor, then the triangle in the histogram turning to white will not any notable effect on your image.

  However, if you are developing for print, then any pixel that is blown, will not be printed. The printer can print white and it will be immediately noticeable on paper.

  To return to the histogram, clipping occurs by stages, and if you look at the indicator, before turning to white, it can turn, rose, yellow, Cyan etc. indicating what clips of first channel.

  with some types of images, for example, prints, textiles or jewellery, it is imperative to understand that this process of the first cut of channel can start when the RGB pixel value reached 242/245, but the triangle will turn not white up to 255, how, there is a loss of detail.

  The way to properly judge the values of the pixels of the image is to market the Soft Proofing in LR. This will then you hover over your image and see the RGB values under the histogram graph properly and thus, help you manage your points black and white more effectively to ensure that there is no clipping.

  Therefore, the answer to your question which is correct?

  Scenario 1 can be used when developing for the display on the monitor only

  Scenario 2 is best suited when developing for printing.

  And finally, the answer to your question, they mean or more, the response is completed. If you wait until the triangle to whiten, you have already lost a few details.

• Deletion of snapshots automatically using the Snapshot Manager

  Hello

  I am very new and VMware Vsphere. I use vSphere 4.0 with ESXi 4 (I think). I managed to create a snapshot via the scheduled task in vSphere and I get a new every day; However, I would like to keep only one or two days worth of snapshots. The scheduled task is adjustable to delete snapshots after that whether a day or two old. Again, I am super new VMware vSphere and would appreciate any help that can be provided for the simplest solution. (Hoping that this can be done from the GUI somewhere)

  Thanks in advance

  Although it is possible to predict the creation of snapshots, I'm afraid there is no possibility to plan their removal.

• Possible to list using VIX snapshots?

  Is it possible to use just 1.7 VIX in a c# application to the list of snapshots of the virtual computer by name? I have search on the VIX API reference Documentation, and have not been able to find a function that will list the name snapshots, but apparently vmrun.exe can do this by using the listSnapshots command. I would like to know if there is something similar to this command in the VIX API.

  Thank you!

  There is no function, but it is a fairly simple algorithm.

  Get all the snapshots of root (VixVM_GetNumRootSnapshots(), VixVM_GetRootSnapshot()), iterate over them with VixSnapshot_GetNumChildren() and

  VixSnapshot_GetChild(), recurse.  Get the name by using Vix_GetProperties (snapshtohandle, VIX_PROPERTY_SNAPSHOT_DISPLAYNAME...).

• correct use of the weak reference

  If I understand correctly, if I put the weak reference param true in my event listeners I don't need to worry about removing the headphones.  Is this true?

  I'm not really clear which would cause the listener to be set for garbage collection.  I would not have a situation where the listener has been deleted before as I wanted it.

  I think that it is advisable to withdraw the headphones well, theoretically Yes - you do not have _have_ to remove them when you use weak references. The listener is never set for GC using strong ref - you make yourself in this case.

  I got into the habit of always using weak reference and I have yet to run into a situation where a listener is deleted when I don't want it to be. It's something like - when only weak references to an object exist then this object can be that gc would be - otherwise, it will hang out and consume memory.

• Confirming the correct use of different across columns.

  Hello
  
  I have a table which consists of 6 child keys to other tables. I want each line to have a unique combination of values. To check what I have trained the following query.
  
  SELECT DISTINCT (col_1), (col_2), (col_3), (col_4), (col_5), (col_6) FROM tableName
  
  This is the correct syntax for finding unique combinations, it seems to return the right answer for me.
  
  Now, I would like to know if there is no recording involved so that I can remove them, I was thinking about using an outer join to do this, but the only problem is that I have to enter the primary key of the table that then automatically makes a unique combination.
  
  Someone would have some ideas.
  
  Thank you
  Ben

  Benton says:
  SELECT DISTINCT (col_1), (col_2), (col_3), (col_4), (col_5), (col_6) FROM tableName

  This is the correct syntax for finding unique combinations, it seems to return the right answer for me.

  A more common way to express it in Oracle, would be to leave out the parentheses:

  SELECT DISTINCT col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4, col_5, col_6 FROM tableName
  

  To find the combinations of keys that have several occurrences, you could do this:

  SELECT col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4, col_5, col_6,COUNT(*)
  FROM tableName
  GROUP BY col_1, col_2, col_3, col_4, col_5, col_6
  HAVING count(*) > 1
  

• Satellite P200-144 never stop correctly using Vista Ultimate

  Recently made a regeneration of my P200-144. Used with Vists Home recovery disk. Then upgraded to Vista Ultimate. After it was sold went to the web site of toshiba for the latest drivers and decided to update the bios.

  To restart the laptop is it never shutdown properly. Left with no other choice it off (left by logging out of the screen).

  Now computer laptop won't do anything. Is it possible to get the bios to boot / restore or do I need to reach a support centre.

  Hmm, looks a little more that the BIOS update failed?  :|
  Usually, in such situation the ASP help is necessary.

  But before contact you the ASP and will be sent to this device on the balance I would recommend removing the battery and disconnect the laptop power adapter.
  Then wait about 20 min, then reconnect both sides and try to start the laptop.

  If you won't be successful then the help of ASP is required

  Good luck

• With the help of semaphore with a Global Variable - correct use?

  Hi all

  I looked in the use of global variables and in my case, it seemed with the help of a semaphore is the appropriate solution.

  In my case, I use a global variable to store the State of the system. Asynchronous two with screw environment (same VI) will follow two COM ports to see if they get a ' login:' command prompt. If the COM port is associated with Alpha, Charlie, or Echo, it increments by 1, and if it is associated with the Bravo, Delta, or Foxtrot, is incremented by 2 GV. If the GV is 3, the rest of the code will run. In this case, it must be a port COM A, C or E; the other should be B, D or F.

  A VI parent is called inside a loop. He works for the first loop. He never adds up to 3 on the second loop, however. I can't understand why. Please let me know if my code is a poor use of semaphores, or if there is debugging I can try.

  I'm still relatively new to LV, so I'm sorry if my screws are difficult to read. I created this in LV2011.

  Thanks for any help!

  The output of my time looping (wait GV = 3) goes to the structure of the case on the bottom right (clear SGS, PasswordEntry, etc.), so the GV get indeed consulted by the upper case structure right.

  ??

  Your right upper case structure does not run until your time ends in a loop.  The while loop does not stop until the total is equal to 3.  Where can increment you the world besides structures case you cannot yet?

  Have you tried in your point culminating execution of the VI in order to see how they are actually running?

  Another problem that I see.  Assuming that your first while the loop is going to end.  In the structures of your case, you lock the semaphore.  But you can never unlock the semaphore unless you have the right combination of conditions that allow you to get to the case that unlocks the semaphore.  The conditions are based on data that are read before the start of the case of structure, which means that data will not be read and changed until it all ends.  You have the timeout of your lock semaphore connected on one of the cases, but your semaphore lock can never timeout because you do not have a value on his entry time-out.  I think you have a situation where you can lock a semaphore, then arrive at a situation where you can not unlock, then wind locking up of your cold code.

  I don't really think that you need a semaphore at all.  I think you can protect reading and writing functional your overall using a global variable, i.e. the motor action.  Overall, I think you need to rethink the architecture of your code.
