Delete all snapshots for a virtual computer

• Delete all snapshots completely hosed my server

  I have a server ESXi 5, a 750 GB (698GB or so, is usable) local data store, quad Xeon, and 16 GB of RAM. There are two vm (s) - we're a firewall which takes about 10 GB (20 has been allocated) and the other is an Exchange Server that has 500 GB allocated was almost complete with the exception of about 10 GB. Both have been implemented using thin provisioned disks. There are also approximately 4 or 5 pictures taken of the Exchange virtual machine. Thinking that I had to delete the snapshots before you try to resize the virtual drive of 500 GB, I hit the button Delete button instant everything. All the snapshots have been removed from the list and then I could not start the virtual machine due to the lack of storage. He said that nearly 698 GB has been awarded! Then I deleted the tiny snapshots for virtual firewall machine and was able to boot the virtual machine Exchange. After doing a little housekeeping on the vm changes that I stopped him. Try to solve the delete all snapshots problem, I tried the "consolidate all snapshots' option. After several hours of waiting it failed due to lack of space. So, I thought I would reboot the physical machine to see if that helped. When he returned he showed that TB 1.4 or so, space has been allocated! And I could not start anything. Then I ran down to the server room, installed a 750 GB extra hd and started trying to move the virtual machine to empty disk. Well, who seems to have been an even worse mistake to delete all snapshots. Not only this process fails, but now the new hd (datastore2) is completely filled and the original datastore1 has about 132 GB free. The problem with this is that the virtual machine is now spread over these two data stores. Now, I've added another store of data via nfs (nfsdatastore) that has free 2.6 TB and I'm currently copy the entire contents of datastore2 via the cp command in a terminal (ssh remotely controlled).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  OK, so let's try to clone the virtual disk in the NAS data store. Please follow the steps below and ask if there is something you don't understand or something does not work as expected.

  • Create a new folder on your NAS "UDT-MX09-EPSI" data store
  • from archive attached extracts "UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI) .vmx" to this new folder
  • move 'UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI)-000004.vmdk' to "datastore2/UDT-MX09-EPSI" on "datastore1/UDT-MX09-EPSI-2".
  • move 'UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI)-000005.vmdk' to "datastore2/UDT-MX09-EPSI" on "datastore1/UDT-MX09-EPSI-2".
  • from archive attached extracts "UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI)-000003.vmdk" "datastore1/UDT-MX09-EPSI-2"replaces the existing file.
  • from the command line run:
    "vmkfstools-i" / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/UDT-MX09-EPSI-2/UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI)-000004.vmdk "" / vmfs/volumes/nfsdatastore/UDT-MX09-EPSI/UDT MX09 (Exchange EPSI) hard. "

  If cloning is successful, do a right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select 'Remove inventory', then - using the browser from data store - click with the right button on the .vmx file in the folder of the virtual machine on the NAS data store and select "add to the inventory. When you start the virtual computer you may be asked if you have moved or copied the VM. Make sure you select that "I moved it.

• Change the default location of the snapshot for a virtual machine

  Hello. I found this tutorial

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002929

  on hos to move the default location for the snapshots of a virtual computer. How ever what I don't understand is where can I covering the line in the file *.mvx, "workingDir = "new_path_location" ? I just start typing at the end of the file? The file can be edited in Notepad of windows or I should connect to the host using putty and correct it in nano, for example?

  For example, in the same document, they used

  workingDir = "/vmfs/volumes/46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070/vm-snapshots"

  I think that " 46f1225f-552b0069-e03b-00145e808070 " is an identifier for the volume. True or not? If yes how can I list all the volumes that are mapped to the host or vCenter Server identifiers?

  Thank you!

Yes its unique identifier for your vmfs volumes, but its better if you provide your name of store data instead, as if your data store name is XYZ, provide/vmfs/volumes/xyz/vm-snapshot, you can do it using UUID as well but you need to type for long and its not easy to remember.

  If yes how can I list all the volumes that are mapped to the host or vCenter Server identifiers?

  using the cli

  list of esxcli storage vmfs

  using ssh console, this should provide you with all the information for the disks

• Determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface

  I want to determine the maximum use of the processor for a virtual computer in the custom user interface.  How can I do this?

  If I use a supermetric, there is no kind of attribute under CPU called "maximum use.

  Certainly, you get points for a long question! Although to be fair, it's probably my fault to feed you so much information to digest at once.

  1. I would say you can do two ways visually. Use the operations > detail view for 'normal ranges' use the upper limit of the normal range as your typical max. You want an absolute peak, add the metric of a graph or observe that highlight high and low watermarks.

  2. There are a lot of ways to display data, but if you want to display a single metric over a period of time, we could use the following widgets [on top of my head]:

  Top - N analysis

  Weather map

  Analysis of distribution of data

  Among these, I think of your desire for a "peak". Who you want real value, which eliminates the weather map. Then, I think that the concept of a 'Summit' and what is the best thing, I think that the 95th percentile... then I came with the widget of data distribution. The decision is ultimately yours given your particular use case.

  3. you can have it apply to several virtual machines - it's just a widget capable of being an independent provider or receiving widget (metrics, DO NOT choose to select resources). Each resource/metric will add to the widget and you can remove them if you like after it is added. You can certainly all the time you visit... It is date and time standard options you have in all the other widgets chart. With the widget data distribution, you want as much time as possible to get an accurate histogram of the cycles of workload.

  4. This is similar to the question above. You can certainly add parameters of individual resource or a DM that summarizes or AVG groups of resources. And as above, the delay is configurable, along with the other graph widgets.

  5. it's part of Q4 - you can sumN or avgN up to any number of resources with a SM, then discovers that SM in the widget of data distribution. When I said container, I mean an application, group resource pool... all that acts as a container parent within the vCOps.

  6. that's correct, SMs calc using data collected last points... aka single period of time. When you are referring to the longest period, I gave you a few examples of the attributes that are composed of several periods of time which are calculated and created by the adapter for VMware vCenter behvaior. In this case, you have the GVA 15 min CPU 1.5; These specific simple mobile GVA can be specific OR a copy using SMs. Next, you will have the chance is to find a way to distribute what you need through a widget [at that time].

  7. the distribution of data is not for export, it is for Visual functions. If you want the data in CSV, just use a typical chart of metrics and export to a csv and calc your own pics, avg, 95th, whatever.

  8. This is a bit of a mix of all your questions, put in place.

  You are right, if you added those 3 VMs, then calc was the 95th of the AVG. Like Q7, you would not export the data of the distribution of data because the raw data points are not - you do not pass the metric to a metric graphics standard and export via csv.

• Please explain consolidate and delete all snapshots

  I have 15 snapshots for a virtual machine

  I want to understand the background process to consolidate and erase everything.

  We should I prefer? and an impact on the performance of the virtual machine?

  Appreciate your help

  AI necessary consolidation when your snapshot manager says that there are no snapshots but you can still see delta files in your datstore in this case u gat a necessary consolidation of vm WARNING. means u get a notification that you are checking if there is no snapshots in the Snapshot Manager that there should be no delta existing for this purpose in the data store.

• NET application SAN LUN connection for a virtual computer on the network

  Hi guys

  I have a LUN of SAN NetApp ready for a virtual computer that is connected to the network.

  How can I make the virtual machine network?

  I created another vNic and added to it as a secondary virtual machine network, but is there a better way to do this?

  Should I be using the VMKernel network and choose iScsi?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hi Julien,

  Introduce the network of the virtual machine as if it were any other network. No need to have a vmkernel, unless you want to create an iSCSI data store.

  Set up your network inside the virtual machine with an IP address in the same subnet as your storage space. Try to ping of your storage space for the guest. Configure your iSCSI initiator and present your logic unit number on the virtual computer in your NetApp.

• Maximum processor for each virtual computer cores

  Hello

  I need some advice on the maximum number of CPU cores that we assigned to each virtual machine, as well as the maximum number of processor cores physical on the host machine.

  I stumbled on some features of mention about the virtual processors and virtual cores.  Are they referring to the same thing?

  1 virtual core is equivalent to how many physical basis?  1 virtual CPU is equivalent number of physical CPU or core?

  Appreciate your kind reply on above.  Thank you.

  Concerning

  cleohm

  On ESX 1 vCPU is a logical basis.

  It is a heart in a CPU socket, but could also be logical fundamental of a core (if you have HT enable).

  On ESX/ESXi 3.5, there is a limit of max 4 vCPU for each virtual computer.

  On ESX/ESXi 4.0, there is a limit of max 8 vCPU for each virtual computer, but you will need virtual hardware 7 and a license of the company more

• Delete all snapshots

  Hello

  I started all avoid the VM snapshot almost 4 hours ago. It rose to 95% at the beginning and stopped so far. After 90 minutes of waiting, I realized that VM has been activated (oops) so I decided to turn it off while the abduction was still used. Virtual computer system turns off but the machine not. I could not have done yet because (I think) instant withdrawal is underway.

  Now, how can I check if the deletion process is still running or that 95% is smth like zomie-process? In fact, this virtual machine is not the one I need, but there are still other virtual machines work so I think that I can not turn all ESX host to break the abduction.

  Quick help appreciated, thanks.

  It is important to remove the snapshot when the virtual machine is turned off or does not matter?

  It doesn't really matter. However, depending on the workload of the virtual machine and the amount of disk space available on the data store, you need to delete snapshots, while the virtual machine is turned off.

  When the virtual machine has a single disk, say 50GB with multiple snapshots, why the data in the file are cut on several files that altogether occupy more than 120 GB, even if snapshots are deleted?

  The virtual machine is divided into several files, files of configuration and data files. Each snapshot will start a new file (actually two).

  In another discussion you mentioned use you ESX 4.0. What version do you use? With Update 2 and newer you won't usually problems to withdraw several snapshots using the "Clear all" button, but with older versions you could easily run out of disk space if the space is already low.

• ESXi 3.5 full disk - delete all snapshots

  Hi all

  I have a virtual machine running FreeNAS with discs 5 x 200G, defined as a JBOD.  I was filling up with data backup to rebuild some system, when he hooked up with the "no more space for the snapshot files (that's the jist - I don't remember the exact error message now.

  I did not understand where all my space was gone, but have been on a steep learning curve and understand now on the delta files.  I have in the filesystem via SSH, you can see that there are delta files containing hundreds of concerts.  Snapshot Manager showed no snapshots (nothing to delete).  I saw a recommendation to take a new snapshot and then do a 'delete all '.  I did, and the light of the physical server's hard drive was now two hours, strong.

  Is this normal.  I don't want to be hasty and interrupt something that works as it should, but is it possible that I can confirm that it works and not only in an infinite loop?

  A supplementary question.  To prevent this happining again once, can I change the configuration of the virtual machine and make these independent disks?  I can do that, for an existing virtual machine without losing any data on the disk?

  There is one shot in place? Certainly don't lose your patience and try and stop the validation process.

  You can watch the instant process of deletion/committ by the following command (you need to log in with access console not supported - http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/vmware-esx-articles/general/how-to-access-the-vmware-esxi-hidden-console.html )

  Watch "ls - Ghtu-* full-time hard" d

  In your question that prevent from happening in regard to again - yes you can make the persistent independent record. This must be done while the virtual machine is turned off. You won't lose data, which makes change.

  I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

  It is lifted directly from my EULA:

  1. GRANT OF LICENSE.

  The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that

  comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:

  1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,

  display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on

  THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used

  by more than two 2-processor both on the

  COMPUTER, unless a greater number is

  indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
  Then...
  This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
  I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
  However...
  If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!

• Delete all SNAPSHOTS with script

  I'm trying to set up a workflow for my colleagues to easily adjust color, brightness and so on by simply clicking on a SNAPSHOT that easily shows them the result. The snapshot is generated by a macro master calling alarge number of macros. But my clever :-) solution fails because I want to give them the opportunity to run the macro master twice (for example the brightness) and they are then asked with a dialog box that asks them if they would like to replace the snapshot that already exist wit the same name. Simply, I don't know an easy way to delete snapshots. Historic range is easy to remove. If it was just a bunch of macros I could find a way to fix it manually, but I have like 80-100 macros in different groups.

  I thought of this solution:

  MASTER MACRO 1

  -SELECT ALL. COPY.

  -DELETE ALL THE SNAPSHOTS (with the script)

  -PASTE THE IMAGE

  -MACRO RUNS APPLE (Apple instant recording)

  -MACRO RUNS TOMATO (tomato instant recording)

  -CONTINUES DURING SEVERAL OTHER...

  The user chooses instant TOMATO , also wants to run snapshot APPLE. Click again on the MACRO 1.

  Someone out there who can think of a solution or another idea?

  (Photoshop CS6 on a Mac)

  Here is the solution:

  var doc = app.activeDocument;

  HS var = doc.historyStates;

  for (var a = hs.length - 1; a > = 0;--a) {})

  {if(HS[a].) Snapshot)}

  doc.activeHistoryState = [a] hs;

  delHist();

  }

  }

  function delHist() {}

  var desc20 = new ActionDescriptor();

  var ref23 = new ActionReference();

  ref23.putProperty (charIDToTypeID ('HstS'), charIDToTypeID ('Indonésia'));

  desc20.putReference (charIDToTypeID ('null'), ref23);

  executeAction (charIDToTypeID ('Dlt'), desc20, DialogModes.NO);

  };

• VM Variable for the virtual computer object

  Hello

  I am connected to multiple vcenters where we have a few VM objects that have the same name (no duplicates in the vcenter even).

  and I need to run a vm - get when you are connected to the 2 vcenters and store that in a variable $vms

  It is always the case for virtual machines with the same name that if a virtual machine is running in a vcenter, it is turned off in the other vcenter. (DR)

  for virtual machines in this case, I need my variable to store the computer object virtual that is powered AND ignores the engine off... for other virtual machines, I need to power on and power off power vms to be included.

  Here's what I do, but it doesn't work

  $vms = (get - vm |) {ForEach-Object

  If ($_.name - eq $null) {}

  $_ = ($_ |  (Where-Object {$_.powerstate-eq "réceptrices"})} else {$_}

  })

  Hello, max2001-

  How about something like the following:

  ## get all VMs from all connect vCenters, and group them by name$arrAllVMs_grouped = Get-VM | Group-Object Name
  
  $arrDesiredVMs = @()## for any group of VMs where there is more than one (2, presumably), only return the PoweredOn VM in the group$arrDesiredVMs = $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -gt 1} | %{$_.Group | ?{$_.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn"}}## and for the groups of VMs where there is only one VM in the group, add that VM to the DesiredVMs array$arrDesiredVMs += $arrAllVMs_grouped | ?{$_.Count -eq 1} | %{$_.Group}
  

  Who will be:

  1. get all virtual machines and group by name
  2. groups of virtual machines where there is more than one, just take those who are in the PowerState PoweredOn
  3. and, grab all the VMS are groups of count 1 (named unique VMs), without regard to their PowerState

  What to do for you?

• IOPS / s & latency for each virtual computer

  It's my first time to write a script to metrics out of the virtual environment and I'm trying to get out of the latency of disk IOPS and total / s disk for each virtual machine in the environment.

  Here are the relevant excerpts I have at the moment:

  #Get powered on virtual machines

  $VMs = get - VM? {$_.powerstate - eq "Receptor"}

  #Loop through each virtual computer

  {foreach ($vm to $VMs)

  $dskreadlatency = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "disk.totalreadlatency.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

  $dskwritelatency = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "disk.totalwritelatency.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

  $dsknumberwrites = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "virtualdisk.numberwriteaveraged.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

  $dsknumberreads = get-Stat-entity $vm - Stat "virtualdisk.numberreadaveraged.average" - Start $start - finishing $end

  }

  #setting fields to the averages of the stats (I have 4 of them)

  = [string] $fieldX ([Math]: Round ((($dskYYY |))) Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2))

  Unfortunately, I get 0 for all these statistics.  My level settings are all set to 2.  It would be awesome if I could help in this regard.

  Just to make sure that the performance data entry process are correctly configured on vCenter, you see the data for these counters on the performance for the same time interval tab?
