Empty path of disk in the backup

Hello

I use the latest (updated) version of ghettoVCB on ESXi 3.5.

I have a daily backup to the top of several machines. One of them has two attached vmdk, one with the BONE and the second with a DB.

The backup runs backups put purposes on a remote NFS.

When I try to map the backup on another server ESXi (for example emergency recovery) I can not start the virtual machine at first, because the path to the second disc (DB) is wrong, containing not any data store name. To be clear:

the first disc in the config is mapped to SCSI0:0, and the file is backup/YYYsbs01.XXXX.local/YYYsbs01.XXXX.local-2011-07-16_20-01-00/YYYsbs01.XXXX.local.vmdk [vmbackup02]

the second disk is mapped to the file tip SCSI0:1and to [vmfs/volumes/4b019485-ec3f784a-61e5-18a9053bb825/YYYsbs01.XXXX.local/database.vmdk].

To be able to boot the machine, remove the second drive and it readd by browsing. The only difference is that instead of [] I get [vmbackup02] in the start menu of the disk path. vmbackup02 is on the remote NFS data store.

Why ghettoVCB does not configure the second drive by itself in the right way? I have to specify something?

Thank you

@LoZio,

It has nothing to with ghettoVCB script itself, the reason for which you must re - map the VMDK, is that the original configuration has your VMDK configured for a particular location and that is stored in the .vmx config file. When ghettoVCB backups is the virtual machine of which it is made by copying the existing as .vmx configuration and then copying the VMDK, no update of the .vmx are made. If you want to test a backup or run the virtual machine directly out of the backup data store, you must update the location of the VMDK.

It is not recommended that you run the virtual machines on the datatore of backup, unless it's your only option, usually it would be used to restore in the event of disaster or failure. You can take a look at this tech preview script ghettoVCBRestore (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10595) in which it will automatically restore your virtual machine & update the correct configuration to allow you to start your VM without manual settings

    Hi dairy Tech 2000,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers site.

    Drive/C: would not be shown to the backup files since this is the system drive. You cannot save files to C:/drive to C:/drive.

    However, when you change the backup settings to another drive on the computer, follow the steps below:
    1. click on start.

  • RMAN - RETRIEVE the backup complete and necessary archives Logs of SBT_TAPE to disk

    Hello

    I've never done this before and no one on my team seems to have idea if possible. In our environment, backups are performed using netbackup to bands using RMAN. I have a request to recover a good full backup of an oracle database (where we can restore the database, if required in the future) of January 13 and place in a way they provided for example: / dbbkup/dbName/files.

    The backup team tied the tapes required for this backup, which in this case is January 13, 2016, see below. We can only use RMAN to restore this backup, but I don't want to restore this backup on a database, instead would like to capture the full backup and zip and place it in the provided path. Is there is a possibility with RMAN?

    If yes I would appreciate the full commands necessary to capture all of the basic + archivelogs (how can I determine what archivelogs are needed?)

    I came with thisbut do not know if this will do.

    Run {}

    until ' to_date (' 01 2016 13 11:00 ', 'YYYY MM DD HH24') ";

    allocate auxiliary channels ch1 type 'sbt_tape '.

    Yes, we cannot copy the backupsets of a band on the disc with RMAN.

    The only option is to restore the database to a separate host computer (or we can restore the database to a filesystem separte or diskgroup within the same host of source database), and backup the database on a disk in compressed format.

    Running OS 10.11.3 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, use Time Machine to back up to my Airport 802.11ac purchased 16/09/2014:

    I can see the airport and the data file in my network.

    I immediately did a full time Machine backup on a USB key and it disconnected from my system.

    I unplugged the airport, let it rest for a minute and returned the power plug, let it settle for a green light.  I'm restarting Time Machine backup to the airport.

    I need to replace the airport?  The appliance starts to fail?  Or, it is more likely is a problem with winter static electricity that has damaged the image and reconstruction will fix all this.  Reconstruction will take about four hours with no guarantee that it will work.

    Hello

    _How to use the recovery disk? _
    That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
    In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

    _How to save files? _
    First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

    In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

    You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  • In time real PXI-1031 does more work with labview. "Not enough disk space to perform the backup.

    The labview real-time project was working until a few weeks ago and the only error that is displayed on the PXI is this error message.

    "NEITHER Configuration Manager: not enough disk space for the backup" everything before that looks like it starts very well. Recently, I removed the hard drive and remove the 4 GB network log file because it seemed to me that a file of 4 GB on a fat32 file system was probably the cause of the problem. After that it the project worked when I tested it, but others in my lab said it was broken again the next day.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated because I don't know all that equipment.

    I found that I had "reset IP" set to "yes" in the bios that seemed to be causing my problem because I changed it to no and it seems to work perfectly now. Sorry that it took so much time to understand and I feel like a fool.

  • The cancellation of the 'file' dialog box and handle errors caused by the empty path that makes the DB connection

    Hi guys.

    I developed a VI that connects to the database reads the names of tables, columns of the selected table, etc. It works well as I want to.

    However, I have problem with identifying the UDL file with function of dialog 'file' use in a structure of the event that is triggered when the button 'Open' value is changed. It also works well, when I choose the UDL file, but the problem is when I cancel it and I get the error 43.

    I tried to deal with this problem with a "error handler" function to clear the error 43 but the next errors that are associated with the database conncetion appeared. The reason is, when file dialog is cancelled, an empty path passes by reference of connection and I can't start the while loop where are the key codes. I also used a box Structure connected to "Cancelled" with 'DB connection tool' in case of real and connection the reference connection for the while loop, but I get the same result.

    I want to apply for work as: start to push the button "Open" and select the file UDL, the loop run to establish the connections database, if not with the cancellation of the file dialog box, the application waits by pushing the button open and select the UDL file again.

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

        do calculations

    Hi Hector.

    1. what version of Windows operating system is installed on your computer?

    2. you use software to perform the system backup and restore?

    3 is the issue limited to any particular file?

    First of all, I suggest you click with the right button on the backup files and check the size of the file in the Properties window.

    Try to copy and paste the files to the computer and check if you are able to access the files.

    You can also check if the folders are hidden. If the folders are hidden, so you can view folders and check if you are able to access the data.

    1. press the ALT key on the keyboard in any Windows Explorer window to display the toolbar.
    2. click on tools, then Options of folders, and then on the view tab.
    3. then choose "show files and folders". After clicking OK, they appear with the other files.

    Hope that the information provided is useful.

  • Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

    Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

    Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

    My Boot.ini file at this time was:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

    (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

    I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

    He gave me something like:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

    I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

    I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

    I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

    I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

    My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

    Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

    Someone has an idea?

    PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

    Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

    Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

    In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

    In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

    (except I've had the first installation already done).

    Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

    EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

  • Cannot delete the backup files to external HARD disk

    I tried to remove most of the backup sets on an external HARD drive, but always free poster of 465 GB file Explorer only 213 GB.  I chose the drive in "Disk Clean-up, but which showed no files to delete.  I had a virus on the disk scan to see what files have been on this subject, and so there are hundreds of thousands of them, starting by ' $RECYCLE. BIN... ".  Anyone know how to remove these?  Operating system is Windows Vista SP2.

    Hi John

    Some of the files that you see (as the trash) are system files and do not need to be deleted.

    Before taking other measures, what volume of personal files is on the external hard drive? Did you direct copies of music/photos etc.? -"Free 465 GB only 213 GB" is not quantify how many do you think should be free!

    Also - what the drive and were records of backup performed using embedded software of the player?

    The best solution here is perhaps simply reformat the drive (after making sure that you have an exact replica of all personal files on your pc that you can then copy to it) but give us a little more detail the first.

    Thank you - R

  • IM always get "low disk space" and the backup file always fails and recovery D

    always get low D recovery and backup disk space the files always cleaning disc fails is no help either

    You are NOT supposed to file backups on ypur recovery Partition D.

    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You are NOT supposed to touch it... to not add anything in it or remove anything from him.

    You call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1. ask for a set of recovery DVD, if you don't have a game yourself. The game is essential to restore your computer in case where it breaks down, and you screwed up the recovery partition which is unusable for recovery.
    2. ask to talk to a technician. Ask the person how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They, the manufacturer of computer created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
    Let them teach how you to.

    Buy an external hard drive and use it for backups of the file *.
