• Hard drive remove unexpected behavior of vSphere 4.1

  Hello

  I'm having some trouble with to remove a hard drive from a virtual computer by using the cmdlet Remove-hard drive in PowerCLI. I can list the disks attached to the virtual machine and I'm trying to delete is in the list, but when I run the command remove the disc it returns an error indicating that the VMDK file is not attached to a virtual machine. I am able to remove the disc using the user interface of vCenter.

  Please see below for the relevant order details and error output.

  Thank you.

  Hello, bmoncsko-

  Welcome to the communities.  As for your question, it seems that it would be a 'feature' (or bug) in how hard drive Remove works.  I tested what you did and got the same results using PowerCLI 4.1u1 and 5.0.

  However, it works when you select the hard drive to the virtual computer by name through the pipeline (instead of the path of the data store), as:

  ## get the VM's harddisks, displaying their names as wellGet-HardDisk -VM myVM | ft Name,CapacityKB,Filename
  
  ## determine from above the name of the harddisk to be removed, and use that to choose that harddisk, then remove itGet-VM myVM | Get-HardDisk | ?{$_.Name -eq "Hard disk 4"} | Remove-HardDisk -DeletePermanently -Confirm:$false
  

  It would be interesting to know if other people receive the same behavior when trying to remove the hard drive as you did, but this piece of code, you should get going at the moment.

• Why do not the remove-hard drive remove a disc with a new SCSI controller?

  Hi PowerCLI gurus,

  I try to use PowerCLI to automate the solution for article configuration of disks to use VMware Paravirtual (PVSCSI) SCSI adapters (1010398).

  Remove-hard drive sometimes gives me a misleading error when I use it to remove a hard drive with a new SCSI controller.

  The FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  Can anyone here explain the error?

  My version of vCenter server is 5.1.0.

  My PowerCLI version is 2.0.

  Here's what I've done to reproduce the error.

  First of all, I connect to vCenter and stop the virtual machine.

  $TestVM = 'TESTVM '.

  $TestServer = ' vcenter - test.local ".

  SE connect-VIServer-Server $TestServer

  Stop-VM - $TestVM VM - confirm: $false

  I add a new hard drive and store it in a variable so I can refer to it for the next steps.

  New hard drive '.

  -VM $TestVM '

  -Persistent persistence"

  -Flat DiskType '

  CapacityKB - 1024'

  StorageFormat - thin '

  -OutVariable TempDisk

  I make a note of its name.

  $TempDisk.Name

  Because my VM already has 2 discs, the output is "hard drive 3.

  Then I add a new SCSI controller on the hard drive.

  New SCSI controller.

  Hard drive - $TempDisk '

  -Type ParaVirtual '

  NoSharing - BusSharingMode

  Now, I try to remove the hard drive from the variable to remove the disc.

  Remove-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  It fails with an error that says "Hard drive 3" has already been removed.

  Remove HDD: 12/02/2014-18:51:33 remove-hard drive the FlatHardDisk specified 'Hard disk 3' no longer exists, or never existed.

  On line: 1 char: 1

  + Delete-hard drive - hard drive $TempDisk - DeletePermanently-confirm: $false

  + FullyQualifiedErrorId: Client20_VirtualDeviceServiceImpl_TryValidateDeviceExists_DeviceDoesNotExist, VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Cmdlets.Commands.RemoveHardDisk

  But I see that there are still "hard drive 3"!

  Get-disk hard - VM $TestVM - name 'hard drive 3.

  0.001 persist... B-DATA-01] TESTVM/TESTVM_9.vmdk

  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

  I don't think that the cmdlet uses actually the UID, but more likely a MoRef to the vSphere object that represents the hard disk.

  Remember that under the covers most of the PowerCLI cmdlets do calls to the vSphere API.

  Change the Uid, property value indicates that the hard drive connected to the new controller is a new and different purpose.

  And this explains why the hard drive remove does not work with the original hard disk object, it no longer exists.

• How to backup to external hard drive (removable) for windows home server 2011

  Your online help recommend ' to use several external hard drives and rotate the drives between onsite and offsite storage locations", but there is nothing that explains the procedures to be put in place. I have vascular 1 internal disk used as a server backup and the desire to attach a USB key and also back up the server and remove location and still allow regular backups to take place on the interal drive.

  Hi JarjarMack,

  Given that the problem is related to Windows Home Server 2011, for better assistance, you must post your query in the following Windows Home Server Forum.

• backup to external hard drive, removal of the movies on computer?

  I want to know if I got back to the top of my itunes library on an external hard drive I can remove my itunes on my computer movies to save space on this subject? It is my friends computer and I don't want to take up space. And then I still see them on my apple TV if the movies are not on my internal hard drive?

  I am new to this and I wanted to know if my apple tv can stream after I deleted movies from my computer? I have no idea how it works, as far as I know I need to get back to the top of my purchases...

  Backup and deletion are not back up. Backup is always to have two copies of everything, preferably on completely separate players in different locations.

  In order to play something through iTunes, it must be added to iTunes.  You can add files from a separate iTunes drive and make them stay on the player by holding down the option key while adding, but there may be painful to see broken links if the drive is not attached when using iTunes constantly.

  You can listen to an AppleTV iCloud films apparently, but I can't provide details.  This should work for you, unless it's one of those elements is no longer in the Apple Store (and your reason to always make sure that you have a copy on your hard disks).

  @Alin742

  Go to this site and create a bootable CD.

  http://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/

  Boot from the CD.

  If she asks do you want SCSI, click No or just press ENTER. (countdown to 30 seconds)

  The port selection select your HARD drive. (Usually 1, 3 or 6).

  If you do not see your HARD drive, you will need to restart and go into the BIOS and SATA ATA value.

  After choosing your type of HARD drive, ERASE and press to enter. (This will erase all data).

  Leave it to erase the entire disc. (Depending on the size, it may take 2 to 5 hours.)

  Once done erase all disk F4 2 hit shots and will start the test.

  Many people simply replace the HARD drive and all that is wrong is there is simply soft errors. (Errors caused by software not hardware errors.)

  If you need help running the program let me know.

• Hard drive - Remove Metadata?

  I recently reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition on an old laptop when replacing the hard drive.  All updates have been installed.  After about a month of 'perfect performance', I think the hard drive now has as many metadata on it because it has "normal" files  Over the years, I have never seen this before and have two questions:

  a. how she came here?

  How can b. I clean off?

  I note that there are some items of 'cleaning up' on the basis of knowledge, but I can't really follow the instructions and, in any case, none seems to refer to "build up" on a hard drive.  All suggestions will be welcome.

  Helpster: and any other interested party.

  The problem of the 35 GB metadata that appear on my hard drive was healed!  Although I don't understand why.  Playing with virtual memory settings, I selected "No. Page File" but not clicked on "Set".
  The re - inspected, virtual memory had restored his last, "Allow system to manage", BUT chcking on the hard disk, ALL the excess metadata had been cleared.  With the help of Auslogics program to clean the hard drive, then found more than 1300 Junk Files that had not been previously noted.

  It is assumed that the swap file had been corrupted somehow.

• Help with Hard Drive and registry

  Hey, it kinda turns out to be a long and difficult history, but I recently had a small problem that spread to a problem much bigger (and catastrophic).

  I had a problem with freezxing on my laptop (HP Pavilion Dv5 with the 64-bit version of Vista I think). I've tried a few things m ais it froze just in case. Finally I found someone who said they ran a registry cleaning program and that did the trick. I tried and I had no more freezing. Unfortunately, I connected an external hard drive and all hell broke loose. It froze and I turned off the laptop. I have it turned on and was greeted with this message:

  STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
  The Session Manager failed to create protected prefixes system process terminate
  d unexpectedly with a status of 0x000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000).
  The system has been shut down.
  

  I tried to boot in safe mode and found:

  STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}
  The registry cannot load the hive (file):\SystemRoot\system32\config\SOFTWARE or its log alternative.
  It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
  

  Then, she went and made the collection of data, and that was all. After that, I tried the boot recovery option and that never worked. I searched internet and found a few people with similar, but never the same questions. Someone, somewhere, says something about execution of system restore after having access to the menu by pressing F8 at startup. I tried. It did not work. I pressed F8 at startup upward and chose the first option. It has established a list of things to try. System Restore (and other options such as checking memory and bring up the command prompt) did not work because the C drive has been used. Large. I tried to use the disks that came with my laptop and I never once found while they were actually useful because I could never the laptop to run.

  Now, I wanted to try to use the command prompt. Never really had a chance. Now, when I start the computer I'm greeted by the inspiring message of hard drive are not.

  Sweet. Now, I'm a little stuck on what to try. I tried to reset the BIOS defaults and nada. I have no idea what it must try now and would love to help anyone.

  I would be very happy and I thank you for your time.

  It depends on how much you have to pay to get the new hard drive installed and running. Get a quote for a computer shop trust you.  So I think that if the computer has been done what you wanted to do before he went wrong.  If it was enough for you and the price of the repair is not too high (maybe less), I would. If the price is more than $ 200, I would start thinking about applying your money towards a new laptop computer, but that cheaper isn't always the best deal.  Do some research and try some mobile friends to see if it is fast enough for you and you enjoy the feeling. Stop in some stores that display laptops and taste. Laptops with dedicated video card memory will do better with the games.  If the games are starting to become important to you, consider a desktop computer instead of a laptop where you can buy a killer video card. I like the new Ivy bridge to intel for laptops so look for it.  This is the new family of Intel processors. I7 Ivy bridge is the finest, then the i5, then the i3.  You really need to sit with someone who knows computers and discuss your needs for the future and how you want to use your computer.

• Warranty question - HARD drive removal

  One of my friends has a Pavilion g6-2301sm laptop and the laptop suffered a fan failure. The warranty is still valid, but I thought it would be a good idea to remove the HARD drive to eliminate all risk of damage to it during transport and so the guy working at the service could not access it.

  My question is, I could void the warranty if I removed the hard drive? The laptop is in perfect condition, never fell, not a single sticker removed.

  Removal/replacement of the hard disk (normally is) considered tasks routine owner and guaranteed would be cancelled as such no. Many times HP will send even to the client a hard drive replace hard drive, instead of sending in the machine failure.

• How to find files of outlook data on a hard drive removed from a windows xp machine?

  My phone no longer works and I was able to get most of the data of my backups that they did not understand my outlook e-mail accounts. I have the removed disk and got a hard drive enclosure. Problem is that I can not locate the outlook.pst file. Do you know which directory it is?

  The default location is C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserNameSettings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and the default name is Outlook.pst

  You can place Outlook files anywhere that you want so you will have to search for *.pst to find them all [assuming you have created several].

  If you want to put them in a place which is included in your backups in Windows 7, then:

  1 close Outlook after consuming at least once [the file is created on first use].

  2. go in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook [you must show hidden files to reveal the path to get there, or you can simply paste the path into the address box of Windows Explorer to join directly the]

  3 move the Outlook.pst you will find at a convenient location in My Documents.

  4. open Outlook.  Will report you that it cannot find Outlook.pst and will give you the ability to browse for it then point to where you put the file.  [When you open Outlook, it will look at the new location without asking any other]

• M9350f hard drive removal

  Hi I had a few problems with the removal of my hard drive. I watched a video on my model specific to the HP Web site and followed to the letter, but ran into a problem. HP personal media drive Bay is connected to the hard drive bay for remove you after you the 2 screws you have to push a button/lever with a long screwdriver that will open the entire Bay. In the video he just pressed the button and it is well. In mine, she would not loose so I put a force in it and something gave... I watched it and the thing the metal tab I had to press a been slightly bent... and the entire Bay is still stuck. Any suggestions?

  Yes I did, and Yes, this is the video. I sat with her again and was and realized that I had to drag the entire Bay up in order so he can detach and be able to be released. I did notice this in the video because he did it quickly and not explain it. And the little thing tab was not too badly bent and it doesn't really have anything to do so it's all good. Thanks for the quick response. This is now SOLVED.
