ESX 4 Local Storage Name Changed - can't change back

• In a local storage folder, I can't view messages beyond a certain date

  My most recent e-mail messages in a particular local storage folder cannot be found. I get the message "loading" and nothing happens. I updated for Thunderbird 38.2 this morning and then noticed the problem. It's especially bad, because this block of emails contains most of my banking passwords online.
  My operating system is Windows XP Pro Service pack 3

  Right-click on the folder and select Properties, then on the button repair.

  Note that XP is probably the worst place you can think of to store passwords for banking these days. More out of support most at risk, as you become.

• ESX host with local storage recommended for the host partition table?

  Hi all

  I know that the best practical partition table should look like this:

  Mount Point	Partition	Size	Description
  		/ dev/sda (primary)
  / Boot	ext3	250 MB	Change of extra space for upgrades
  N/A	SWAP	1 600 MB	Change the maximum size of Exchange service console
  /	ext3	5120 MB	Change of extra space in the root
  		/ dev/sda (Extended)
  / var	ext3	4096 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with log files
  / tmp	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with temporary files
  / opt	ext3	2048 MB	Create partition to avoid overfilling root with the log files of VMware HA
  / Home	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with agent / user files
  	vmkcore	100 MB	Pre-configured

  However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

  Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

  Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines

• Flash does not work in FF26, it works in Chrome and IE. I reinstalled FF and Flash several times. I can't adjust the setting of local storage for Flash either.

  Flash does not work on some web sites. I never had a problem before with flash on FF in the nearly 15 years that I've used FF. Recently it has stopped working for some reason any and on some flash sites does not, NHL.com and site of kid Herotopia being just two of them. I updated FF, Adobe flash, the reinstalled version them repeatedly deleted all the files that have been stored on my laptop; that is, profiles, saved favorite nothing that I could find in user accounts and in the local app, low local and roaming data folders. What is strange, is that I can't set the local storage for flash either. When I visit the Adobe site to view the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager I can move the scroll bar, but cannot check the: allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer. I can't do it on a Web site where the flash does not work. When I try and it changed on any site that it goes back to zero. Not sure if it is a part of the problem. I got tired of many suggestions on the pages of material here, but nothing works. I even tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4566499#4566499#4566499

  The other strange thing is that I used to get the "warning: script does not" prompt that displays "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends. "sometimes when I would buy on Macy's.com. This is the only site that it happened.
  I know I have only little technical knowledge, but I have tried to figure this out for a few days and do not know what is happening. The only thing I can think is that I somewhere files corrupted causing this problem. I have just updated to Windows 8.1 tonight in the hope that can help, but nothing helped. I would be very disappointing if I couldn't use FF or must go back using Chrome and FF.
  Sorry for the posting long but no solution would be much appreciated.

  Hi jscher2000,.

  Yes, I followed essentially the: Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209 you have posted.

  And after restarting Firefox, Flash worked. Thanks again for your post I could not find this solution on the Adobe forums until you have posted the link.
  Your expertise and your time is much appreciated.

• I can't remove the box that says videos titled: Adobe Reader for Local storage settings

  Whenever a video show on the screen as a box appears in the middle of the video, saying:

  Adobe Flash Player settings

  Local storage

  He says that a web site asks permission to store information on my computer

  At the bottom are choices: a folder can refuse

  When I click on denies it does not alter the box, therefore, I'm not able to view the video.

  I tried to change the Flash Player, but it gives a message that Adobe will be removed from my computer.

  That's where I stop.

  I replied to the other thread you started.  I'm locking this one.

• P2V storage would be local storage & moving/import machine more of an ESX?

  Hello

  Reason to ask the question: do a P2V to the server which if done on the network is too slow coz of the limitations of bandwidth. We are trying to move a physical machine in the LAB environment of virtual Production environment that are in two completely different subnets.

  I was just wondering if we have a way to P2V a machine, store all the files in the local storage of the same physical machine (can be a USB device attached to this physical machine or maybe some NAS device accessible from the physical machine) and then copy these files to the VC server or the server with VSphere client and import these files on any of the ESX.

  I know Ghost can take the image of the physical server, but again will require server ghost & new will be via the network.

  So I'm looking free tool that can take the image of my physical machine & I can manually copy these files on the server that is on the same network where my ESX, VC are & then import this machine on the ESX

  You do not know if we can get out of the physical machine in OVF format on local storage, copy the OVF file and import it on the ESX machine.

  I saw there is a VMware OVF tool that I don't think that what I'm looking for. In fact, could not get exactly what and how it works.

  Any help will be really appreciated

  Thank you

• Need to add local storage on an ESX Server after installation

  Hello all-

  I made a mistake during the install\config of an ESX 3.5 Server earlier today and failed to set up a free partition space...  Now I have a working ESX Server with no local storage.  Is it possible that I can recover from it without having to rerun the installation?

  Thank you very much.

  Steve

  If access you the configuration/storage settings, you can add a data store.

  Wizard of datatstore should see your local drive and offer to use the entire disk or free space remaining to create a VMFS data store.

• The file names changed in wingdings, including the file extension and I can't delete, change them, open, etc. Here are the pictures.

  Have (had) a file with multiple files it contains with pictures in each file.  A week ago the pictures were there.  Now, the names are replaced by wingdings as names and file extensions.  When I try to open it, it is not accessible and that the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  When I try to delete it, it says that the file name you specified is invalid or too long and specify a different name.  When I try to rename it, it tells me that if I change the file name extension, the file may become unusable.  If I try to change anyway, it says I've specified file name is not valid or too long.  Only tried for the name 1.  I did a restore in the case where a program interfered with that.  However, nothing has changed.  All of the suggestions.

  You can download and try to delete the file Unlocker http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtmlwilh.  Although it is not designed for this particular circumstance, it may very well work in all cases, as it has been very successful in a wide variety of situations are not specifically highlighted in the directions (where do not work the normal Vista options).  NOTE: Some antivirus flag programs this program as a malware, but it is a 'false positive' and is safe to use perferctly.  My own software to flag, but several other well-known software products it clean and the warning is included in the documentation of the program.

  I wish there was a way to save the images, but at this point, it seems that the only option is to delete because you can't rename files EHF (if this option is available-I hope that work above).  Unfortunately, System Restore does not affect the files of data, so even if a program caused this, System Restore can eliminate the cause, but it would not restore the files to their previous names.

  If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky because they retain the files called snapshots http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions.  It can be used to recover previous versions of files that have been changed or deleted accidentally.  Here's how: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, you don't have a shadow, but there is a free program for you that does essentially the same thing called Shadow Explorer: http://www.shadowexplorer.com/.  I suggest that you download and implement as soon as POSSIBLE to protect you if you accidentally delete or modify a file.  It will not help you in this instance, but it can help save the next time.

  I'm more concerned about why this has happened in the first place and prevent it from happening again.  I saw file names change before, but never of wingdings which then do not let you open, edit, delete, or rename.  We will check some of your system files: go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  If you find any these corrupted files, try to post them here.  Maybe we can replace the good files on the disc.

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  It will scan and try to solve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a cause.

  If this does not work, then please post repetitive errors in Event Viewer about the name change (Start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer).  Here's how to use Event Viewer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic40108.html.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work - but it will probably not fix your renamed files.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.

  Good luck!

• How can I change how long file names & file can be?

  How can I change how long my file names & file can be?

  The path length limit cited in the article referenced by Abdul R is 260.

  It depends on the length of the full path to the file (for example, C:\Program Files\filename.txt). Windows limits a single path to 260 characters. That's why you can sometimes get an error when copying a file with a very long file name to a location that has a longer path than the location of the original file.

  -------------------------------------

  However, there are various subtleties that reduce that number in practice to 255 (or less), including all spaces.

  We start with the absolute limit imposed by Windows. The API operating system puts a limit (called MAX_PATH) 260 characters for the display name with the included path. This number is often cited. However, the current limits are smaller due to various other restrictions. For example, all names have to have a terminator at the end normally null only the computer see this fine marker, but it is considered as a character if there are really only 259 characters available. (Forget to count the null terminator is a common mistake). A three other characters are used by the designation of the drive or volume (for example, C:\). Thus, the limit to name all the folders and subfolders as well as the file is reduced to 256 characters. However, no files or a folder may have a name more than 255 characters. This includes spaces and some backslashes used as separators. This limit of 255 characters per object is imposed by the way Windows to encode the characters but other considerations usually impose lower limits.

  =====================

  And now, the grand fanale, the answer to your question:

  You cannot change the limit of the length of the path. It is imposed by various requirements and is coded in the system hard. You can set the 'balance' between the files and folder/sub-folder names. For example, use short directory names in order to use more long filenames.

  ======================

  All this can be a nuisance to the user. A file name may be OK when originally created but be too long if the file should be copied or moved to another location whose path is longer.

  There may be additional complications if the files are to be burned to CD or DVD.

• How can I get rid of the message "local storage"?

  How can I get rid of this message? Click on allow or deny does not get rid of it. It can also be moved and it sits just above the video, making the Flash Player completely useless. Thanks for any help.

  

  I found the answer.

  1. Click the right button (Windows) or by pressing the control key (Macintosh) the image of the application while it is running.
  2. In the context menu, select settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.

  There is no 'Settings' selection, but if you want to allow local storage for all sites choose "global settings".

  > Is there any acounds of work on this? The schedule of the virtual machine to power down? Buy Veeam software?

  Yes. Upgrade to full Veeam Backup, but remember to ESXi any level except free license. In the case of ESX, I guess you already have a commercial license, so only purchase of Veeam is necessary.

• ESX upgrade affect the vm located in the local storage?

  Hi, guys

  We have just a plan to upgrade our host ESX 3.5 to 4.1 by Update Manager. But the question is that we have a few vm located in the local storage of the host. I would like to know if the upgrade affect those VMs. Or help him provide some Conference? Thank you very much!

  The upgrade is not supposed to affect virtual machines in a local data store. Just save them if you are worried and want to be even more cautious.
