Get a delta.vmdk to retrieve data

Hi all

I'm looking for a way to recover data on a delta.vmdk file I have. Basically what happened last week, it's a virtual machine has whipped out and I had to restore some files I had saved manually. I had all the shots or delta.vmdk files, but I was able to restore the data on the file - flat.vmdk. I finished due to lack of 20gigs of data, but I have the delta.vmdk file (20 GB) that I want to retrieve data from. I also have the most recent snapshot file manually before the disaster. What I read, there is a way to create a new virtual machine, the Assembly of the delta.vmdk (20 GB) as a new hard drive and then just manually copy files and folders off the power. How can I accomplish this?

Thank you!!

Well it seems that you are missing two snapshots of the chain. However, I have prepared the attached template for the snapshot file because it is missing (at least you haven't added it in the zip file).

Add the file descriptor to the file of the virtual machine, and then create a clone of the disc

The command to clone the drive is like:

vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/old_datastore/vmdir/vm-00003.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/new_datastore/recover/vm-clone.vmdk

BTW: Have you tried different things with the VM already? The virtual machine refers to a ' ps - delta.vmdk "as the file to HARD drive?

  • Need help to recover data from delta vmdk

    Hello

    I have a big problem.

    He had a guest Ubuntu 8.04 Server installed on VMWare ESXi 4.1

    It is a virtual machine size 200 GB.

    Since then, it was running on 99% complete, I tried to increase the size to help

    vmkfstools x 210 G /vmfs/datastore1/LinuxServer/LinuxServer.vmdk


    But then he started giving the error

    "Failed to open (The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created)."

    We had the hell of the data on the virtual machine, and the admin had not saved any of them.

    And on top of these, the guy who created the virtual machine installed Ubuntu over LVM. ()

    Then I noticed that in the settings of the virtual machine, the HARD drive was made to a vmdk to delta as LinuxServer-000001 - delta.vmdk (81 GB)

    but the main file seems to be LinuxServer - flat.vmdk(210GB).

    To try to start the computer again, I messed all CIDs, now I don't know who is what.

    On one last try, I tried to create an another VM pointed flat vmdk.

    Which seems to start properly, but many files have disappeared.

    Is there a a way to recover the data by using the vmdk delta?

    Please help someone.

    Hi Vishnu,

    I already mentioned in the post where I gave you the files: "what I did is that I reduced the size of the disk original back to 200 GB.

    Basic disk size was brought to 210 GB, but it was originally of 200 GB. However the Flash disk was always set to 200 GB, so I reduced the size of the Original Base i.e. the flat.vmdk disk using the pointer file hard.

  • Retrieve data after a certain line

    Hi guys,.

    Any advice or assistance would be appreciated

    Question: How do I retrieve data after a certain line of a string of delimited by commas that are read from a port series?

    More info: to have a map which includes data values and can be read in the computer via a serial port. Example of a string of acquired data as below:

    Data = 1 bit/s = sensor tool
    ; Label, time, voltage, pressure, temperature, current
    A, 01:33, 5.1, 18.1, 31.2, -.
    B, 01:34, 5.5, 19.2, 30.5, -.
    Data = 1 bit/s = sensor tool
    ; Label, time, voltage, pressure, temperature, current
    A, 01:35, 5.3, 18.3, 30.1, -.
    B, 01:36, 5.1, 19.0, 30.5, -.

    Data = 1 bit/s = sensor tool
    ; Label, time, voltage, pressure, temperature, current
    A, 01:37, 5.1, 18.1, 30.8, -.
    B, 01:38, 5.3, 19.2, 30.1, -.

    The value of these data is kept up-to-date line by line. I would like to start to extract data only on the 3rd block of incoming data. I would not that the first 2 blocks incoming data.

    More info: currently, my idea to do this is to analyse the '; '. data"and put it in a counter. If there are 2 '; data' scanner, then woud counter set to True in a case to start structure to extract the output data. Please see my attached picture.

    However, I'm not able to create also a counter using a table that I can't use a while loop and register shift. You have an idea? Thank you very much.

    Hi pokerprof,

    If you plan to get the data individually, have you tried the following:

    Put the output of the select.vi (where it is used as part of the counter) to a comparison so that when we tell: counter-online 3, begin to extract.

    Alternatively, you can use the below:

    The number of iterations that you plan to run? My concern would be the overflow of integer of the meter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_overflow).

    You can try like vi, illustrated by johnsold (if you get all the data in a single iteration).

    Thank you

    Its seems quite surprising that no member of this forum suggests even a single code related to this problem...

    However, I still have more research and find the alternative.

    var contactResult = new Array();
    
    var Fname = new blackberry.find.FilterExpression("firstName", "!=", "");
    
        contactResult = blackberry.pim.Contact.find(Fname);
        for ( var i = 0; i < contactResult.length; i++) {

    This will retrieve all data or contacts from the address book. For which I have to do a custom address book.

    In general, you will need to use an AJAX call to the server

    It really depends on what the server returns as to how the information is easy to digest

    JQuery provides a simple interface, and returns information easy to use

    If you deal with things gets complicated XML according to namespace

    If you look at the raw XML data and it goes something like fred: name you will have questions requiring an implementation of SAX - JSON is simple if you don't get that even if (nothing too confusing here)

    If using an external data source JSON go if you have the choice

    As examples go - just look to the top of JQuery Ajax [JSON / XML] and you will get where you're going quickly

    SAX is MUCH harder because of the namespace - Dublin is the most common and same XML without namespace is not simple to handle, so avoid it if you can

  • I - delta.vmdk files, non - .vmsn files. It is safe to delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager?

    Hello

    Our VM froze because our ESXi data store is full. I deleted - .vmsn for the 1st file snapshot via CLI (using the "rm" command).

    VM is on thick disk and have 2 snapshots. so I still - flat.vmdk, - delta.vmdk. (for the two snapshots) and - .vmsn (only for the 2nd snapshot).

    wouldn't be all right if I delete all the snapshots in snapshot Manager? ATM, we don't have that 8 GB on the data store, and snapshot size is approximately 67GB

    Thank you

    Dan

    The lack of . VMSN file shouldn't cause problems because it is necessary in case you want to or need to go back to a snapshot. In all cases, with only 8 GB of free space on the disk, you can consider deleting the snapshot with the virtual machine being turned off. This avoids the need for disk space temporary additional database snapshots while / delta are merged into the base/flat disc.

  • I - delta.vmdk files, non - .vmsn files. How to restore the instant guest operating system?

    Hello

    Coincidentally, using the browser data store, I've deleted almost all the files in one of the guest OS. Only files vmdk (dish and delta) have survived. So far I've managed to run (using this link http://tinyurl.com/yda5f8d ( ) the guest using OS his - flat.vmdk file and it works very well. The problem is, it's an operating system in the former State, and I would go back to the last snapshot (I have two actually).

    I have ESXi 3.5 and the use of the Mode of Tech support. So I base (flat) file and not visible (from vClient) snapshot two working files. Browser data store using I can see them under delta.vmdk - 000001-xxx and xxx-000002 - delta.vmdk. Should what kind of magic I type in the console to restore my operating system in the lates snapshot? It's ok to merge these snapshots in a main flat file if it would be faster or easier.

    Concerning

    Piotr

    OK, let's give it a try.

    Attached you will find a collection of files that are generated, assuming that the snapshot 000002 was the last. I'll give you the steps to make sure that the current data files will not be affected where 000001 was the last snapshot.

    1. delete the virtual machine of the inventory
    2. Download files attached to the virtual machine file
    3. Delete the w2003r2.vmsd file if it exists.
    4. Right-click on the vmx file and select "add to the inventory.
    5. Open the virtual machine settings and uncheck the box "connect to power on" for the network card (only to make sure that the virtual machine does not connect to the network, where the snapshots are not in the right order)
    6. Important: Create a new snapshot, and to ensure that the new vmdk file is referenced in the disk of the virtual machine settings

    Now you can try it without risk of turning the virtual computer and check if everything seems OK. I suggest that you take a look at the Windows event logs and check if the last entries are from the scheduled date. Because you have turned on on the VM from the file (flat) base, run 'chkdsk /f' for all readers to solve possible problems.

    If this doesn't seem to be the right order, please report and I will edit the files to make snapshot 000001 the current.

    Once everything is ok you should really consider deleting snapshots. To ensure that this does no new issues, please provide the build number of your hosts ESXi and the amount of free disk space on the data store!

  • With the help of the socket object to retrieve data from web application without the html files

    I tried to use the socket object to retrieve data from a web application (I just control script version vs version online). So all I want to do is access http://hyle.io/version that returns me the current version of the application (such as a simple string) in order to compare it in my script and then notifies the user accordingly. I have just a few problems using the socket object. I used this code from the Adobe Javascript Tools Guide:


    reply = "";
    conn = new Socket;
    // access Adobe’s home page
    if (conn.open ("www.adobe.com:80")) {
    // send a HTTP GET request
    conn.write ("GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\n\n");
    // and read the server’s reply
    reply = conn.read(999999);
    conn.close();
    }
    

    ... that I then adapted as:

    reply = "";
    conn = new Socket;
    if (conn.open ("hyle.io:80")) {
      conn.write ("GET /version HTTP/1.0\n\n");
      reply = conn.read(999999); 
      conn.close();
    }
    

    And here is what I get:

    HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
    Content-Length: 225
    Content-Type: text/html
    Server: Pagodabox-Routing-Mesh
    
    

    Bad Request

    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Résultat : true

    I don't know a lot about HTTP requests, but I wondered if it was related to the fact that I am not pointing to a specific HTML file and the type of request was wrong or if I should rather check if there is something wrong with my host?

    The site/app is PHP and is hosted on PagodaBox if it helps.

    Thanks in advance!

  • How to get XML of a node name data?

    I'm new to Flash and XML, so I hope I'm not asking a stupid question. I understood how to retrieve data from and by the position of the node XML file, but now I would like to know how to pull a specific node name. Here is what I currently have:

    about (overview)
    {
    myLot = 1;
    _root.myInfo = _root.myXML.childNodes [0] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [this.myLot] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] .nodeValue;
    }

    With the file XML as follows:
    < SectionOne >
    < Lot1 >
    < Batch > 1 < / batch >
    < price >$ 450 000 < / price >
    Assets of < status > < / status >
    < / Lot1 >
    < Lot4 >
    < Batch > 4 < / batch >
    < price >$ 389 000 < / price >
    Sold < status > < / status >
    < / Batch2 >
    < / SectionOne >

    What I would like is to shoot instead of childNodes [this.myLot] to get the node named Lot1. The problem I have is I have always not consecutive lots and I don't want to have to build a placeholder empty xml online. I hope that makes sense.

    Sorry for the delay. I posted this on the discussion group, but I guess that it does not spread here.

    What you would do, is to use a loop statement and compare the nodeNames.
    To see a name of nodes as Lot1, you use:
    childNodes [x] .nodeName

    ******************************************
    Load the lotNodes object
    lotNodes = _root.myXML.childNodes [0];
    LotNodes contains now all Lot0, Lot1, batch2 nodes...
    Browse all childNodes lotNodes and compare the
    nodeName until you find the one you want then go down
    He has to get the information you want.
    for (var counter01 = 0; counter01<>
    If (lotNodes.childNodes [counter01] .nodeName == "Batch1") {}
    myInfo = lotNodes.childNodes [counter01] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] Sublst.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(0) [0] .nodeValue;
    }
    }
    ******************************************
    I don't have time to test it but it should work, I'll check double after work.
    I hope that this help you move forward.
    If you have any other problems or can't make it work, I would like to know here or send me an email. Preference here, so that others can learn and help.

  • Get the first item in the data model

    I'm trying to get the first item in a data model. I expect the following to work, but it returns-1

    var firstItem = myDataModel.indexOf(0)
    

    Row is a table, and data() must return a specified row element:

    if (myDataModel.size() > 0) {
      var firstItem = myDataModel.data([0])
    }
    

    indexOf search a value and returns it is row.

    UPD:

    In ArrayDataModel, there is also. value() function which takes a simple index.

    Data() is more generic function inherited from DataModel.

    So, it can be simplified to:

    var firstItem = myDataModel.value(0)
