Delete all snapshots causing server to consume all of the available disk space.

Hello

I deleted all the snapshots on one of our servers and as usual, the server is passed to 95% and then sits there until it ends.   This time he ate a 150 GB Bill and is about to release one of my SAN LUNS?  Is this normal!

In any case what can I do to save the servers, if anything?

HELP ME PLEASE!

Thank you

David

With multiple snapshots, ESX will first create a new disc in which it will merge snapshots. So depending on the size of the LUN size VMDK, sizes of snapshot, there a sense... Not funny, I know

Tip: install a script or some tasks or alerts that monitor the use of snapshots. We have a script in place that brings all the older snapshots then 7 days. We do not allow older snapshots then 7 days, if they're going for 7 days, the 'owner' must have a very good reason why he wants to run.

  • All Documents and files of Desktop/shortcuts will miss - restore but still - missing but the properties of the folder indicates the used disk space

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium.  I am the only user and gave me administrative prvileges.

    I was working on my computer when I decided to look at some of my data to the application.  I have come to C:\Users\MYPROFILE but don't see the AppData folder.  However, all my other files were there (office, Documents, etc.).  I have a click with the button right on my profile and click on the attributes Hidden and hit apply.  He took a few moments he went through all folders of files (you can tell by when it indicates the size).

    After this happened, I tried to go back in C:\Users but my profile was gone.

    I restarted and when the office came, all my desktop files had disappeared and the shortcut to IE.  When I click on my profile, it was empty with the exception of the default folders.  All default folders were empty of all my data.

    I did a restore system a few days ago and my profile came, but it was always empty.  However, when I go to c:\users and right click on my profile and press properties, it shows size 11.5 GB as well as the creation date of February 17, 2009 (which is correct).  However all my data are still missing.  Any ideas?

    Display your user folder by deleting a hidden file attribute can be set on the access property page when you right click on your user folder.  Let the net of new low for subfolders and files not hidden attribute when the option is available to you.

    To see the hidden files and system under normal circumstances, go to control panel / Folder Options / view and uncheck both options so that they are visible.  This is not your main problem, however, you must remove the attribute hidden in your user folder.

  • Why my PC cannot use all of the available memory?

    Hello

    I have windows ultimate 64 bit and the 6 GB of ram (laptop)

    http://img03.arabsh.com/uploads/image/2012/09/19/0d36454a60fa0d.PNG

    As shown in the photo, there is a free memory and available memory

    Total: 6058
    caching: 2713
    available: 2552
    free: 1

    Why windows cannot use the available memory, although there is no such thing as free storage space!

    What you see is normal.

    Windows 7 do not free memory. He's trying to preload it with applications that she believes, based on experience, that you may need.

    If you have plenty of RAM, you can see more free memory if Windows doesn't find anything to him with preload.

    Available memory is not actively used by all processes memory but it is preloaded with applications, is of the opinion, based on experience, that you might need as I said above. If it is required by another process, it is available to be used and the preloaded data are deleted.

    I hope this helps you.

  • Lack of available disk space; does not recognize that I have deleted files

    Today I found out, I had 2 GB left on my hard drive 150 GB (Windows XP Home edition, HP mini, purchased mid-2010).  I deleted about 20 GB of different files is no longer needed.  The properties of my C drive still say it be only 2 GB of free space, as if these files have not been deleted.  How can I force to actually evaluate disk space?  He always acts as if the hard drive is full, I can't save anything bigger than 2 GB because he thinks that's all he opened.

    I tried disk clean, defragment, properties of the material, Manager Matrix Storage Manager hardware, intel and now compress, then decompress it.  He still refuses to admit that I released 20 GB of space.

  • IPad that two is running SLOW after upgrade to iOS 9.2? Also closes apps unexpectedly. All of the available fixes or should I try to install an OS earlier? Thanks Wes

    Im running an iPad 2 # A1396 with iOS 9.2. I noticed a significant drop in speed and some quite unexpected apps. My wifi speed is 15mbs down and 2 upwards. Older versions of iOS ran much faster and are more stable. I rebooted several times with no improvement. I have exceeded my ability of processors A5?

    Unfortunately, the installation of an earlier version of iOS is not possible. You can try to reset the iPad, but I doubt that that would solve the problem. It appears that he will soon upgrade to the iPad

    Hi all

    I put 10.11.3 at 10.11.4, works well, BUT: now 700 GB free space on the disk is less.

    Will be this 700 GB (old OSX 10.11.3 / unnecessary update files) will be released in the near future? Or is it really 700 GB less hard drive space?

  • Delete a snapshot

    Hi all

    Our largest VM, there is a residue of a snapshot of Veeam since January. The use of the disc is 1.46 TB. I guess delete this snapshot will take some time and use the heavy disk activity. I will in a Summit out of time.

    My question: is it possible to remove the snapshot while the virtual machine is running and what do you think how long it will take? To disconnect the virtual machine is not really an option, and I'm not sure that the snapshot deletion process would be much faster.

    Thank you

    Edy

    The time limit is proportional to the amount of data that the virtual machine is written during consolidation, if the virtual machine is running. If this virtual machine has very high I/O consolidation then process may stop VM to the last step. This is not mandatory, but depend on the size of VMDK, VM e/s and health/performance of the storage.

    I suggest doing this powered off-State, as you say of vmdk is great. But if you want to power on State, then do it hours when there is not a lot of activity on the data store and VM is less accessible.

  • Is blackBerry smartphones there a way to delete all messages at once

    In my view, there is a way to hide, but I want to permanently delete.

    I find no way but one at a time.

    Thank you very much for your help

    You can delete all at the same time by clicking one and then another while leaving a finger on the original one you selected.  It between your first and second touch will be highlighted.  This will allow you to delete multiple text messages.
