How copy/clone a VM without saving it powered by?

Hello

Is it possible (for example PowerCLI etc.) that I can copy or clone a powered on virtual machine from a data store on our vCenter to another, without going through the new clone/copy saved as a virtual machine in the vCenter? I just need a copy exact a VM under tension, but without the inconvenience of having to remove the copy of dream of the inventory.

Thanks in advance,

Rasmus

Follow this path.

Take a snapshot of the virtual machine.

Connection to one of the ESXi where the virtual machine is running and use

vmkfstools-i > thin d > done. Browse the data store and download them.

  • How to close a picture without saving changes?

    Hi all

    I just downloaded the demo version of LR3.3 and antics with her.  I have a basic question... When you make adjustments in the picture, is it possible to close the photo without the changes?  Frankly, I have yet to see a way to actually close a photo to, except to open another. I was playing around with a few adjustments, but don't want to remain in force.

    Official help of Adobe pages are about as useful as they are for items, that's why I'm asking here.

    Thanks in advance,

    You can monkey around all you like since the changes you see in develop mode are saved in a completely separate metadata (content in the LR catalog) file and your original image stays intact.  If you open the image outside of LR you will not see the changes.

    LR initially generates a preview based on the original image and then withdraw you this preview and associated metadata.  LR updates the preview based on every change you make and write in the metadata for this image as you advance.  You can also see each change you make in the history for this image.  It's like history in PS except unlike the PS the complete story is there whenever you open the image in LR. So if you make changes you don't like you can click the bottom reset button right or just select an earlier state in history and start over.

  • I want to use Thunderbird without saving e-mails on PC. How is that possible?

    I want to use Thunderbird without saving any email to a local folder in my PC.
    Can you help me please on this?
    Thank you.

    There are two types - POP and IMAP
    You will need to login to your webmail account using a browser and select the option to use the IMAP forwarding Protocol - assuming that the option is available.

    E-mail POP accounts can only access the server Inbox.
    Emails are downloaded to your computer and stored in your Thunderbird profiles folder. So this guy can't according to your needs.

    IMAP e-mail accounts provide a remote view of files and emails stored on the server.

    You subscribe to view these folders. Then the headers are downloaded and when you opt for the display of an email, the email is downloaded in a temporary cache.

    Subscribed folders that are synchronized, download a copy of the file and store it in your Thunderbird profile. But these files are constantly updated to reflect what is stored on the server.

    Your best option would be to create an IMAP e-mail account, you sign up to see the folders on the server, but do not select to synchronize subscribed folders.

    E-mails stored in your Thunderbird profile on your computer load faster than those that must be retrieved from the server each time.

    Info on the synchronization, so you can see how to turn on or off.

  • How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

    Purchased new software my company insists on the fact that we back up software data every day on a USB. I tried to schedule a backup, but I don't want the Image of the backup system. How can I save a directory or a specific file without saving the Image to the system?

    When you choose what to back up, simply uncheck the box of system image:

    Or another simple way is to program a command that copies the files on your USB key, replacing the backup from the night before.

    For example, this command copies all of my 'Project X' folder on my USB drive (drive E :)

  • How to clone my disk to a new SSD

    Hi, communities,

    My hardware: Apple Mac Book Pro (mid-2009), El Capitan running and an airport Time Capsule 3 TB (with Active Time Machine).

    I want to replace my HARD drive. It's easy to find out how to replace it in your Mac Book Pro, but it is much more difficult to find the best way to clone my new SSD HARD drive.

    So my question is: what is the best way and the easiest to clone my disk for my new SSD.

    Hope you can help out me. Most of the information I found was really old.

    Thank you and best regards

    Jacco

    Install the SSD in a closed enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB.

    Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD to Mac OS extended (journaled).

    You need a third party application cloning.  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner:


    https://Bombich.com/


    Run the application of cloning.  It will ask you if you want to copy the recovery partition.  Do.


    When you have finished the transfer of data/OSX, start the MBP with the OPTION key down.  Select the SSD drive and if it starts the MBP, make the transition with the HARD drive internal.  (You can install the HARD drive in case you used for cloning)

    Ciao.

  • How to clone the hard disk on Mac

    I've done it before. Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner, but for some reason any CCC doesn't work anymore. My OS is said that only applications that have been purchased in the works of the appstore. Is this true? And how to make a bootable clone - I can't find a clone-app in the appstore? I get upgraded my OS and want to save a copy of my old BONES just one of nine cases security is not working properly.

    You need the CCC for the OSX version you have. It still works perfectly well.

    If you have MountainLion, Mavericks, Yosemite or ElCapitan: updating CCC4 should do the job.

    Earlier OSX to CCC3.

    AppStore has nothing to do with it.

    SystemPreferences-> Security & privacy-> general set "MacAppstore and identified developers."

    then you can install it.

    It takes hours to recharge the programs and ID more their upedates, do Windows updates, etc. when everything is fully functional.  There must be something to replace the old version to create a clean version, i.e. going from Home Premium from Windows 7, etc.  Thank you.

    Would be to replace Microsoft Professional it Home Premium and Igor files corrupted which may be there.

    Hello guys,.

    I am a developer Oracle and prompt to convert the script to copy/clone oracle 9i and oracle 11g db. (without using RMAN)

    I spent using oracle9i db scripts and the steps are as follows

    (1) the control of the script file creation
    ALTER database backup controlfile to trace noresetlogs

    (2) creating the LINK for udump, cdump and bdump

    LN - sf/apps/oracle/diag/rdbms/SOURCEDB/SOURCEDB/udump/apps/oracle/admin/SOURCEDB/udump
    (2) take the info from the data path files in a file of source db
    Select file_name in sys.dba_data_files
    Union select sys.dba_temp_files file_name
    Union select name from v$ controlfile
    Union select Member from v$ logfile;
    (3) TURN OFF THE SOURCE DB
    (4) amending the control file

    CREATE CONTROLFILE
    ....
    LOGFILE
    DATA FILE
    RECOVER THE DATABASE
    -Database can now be opened normally.
    ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    (5) changing the queue (STEP1) control replacing the SOURCE db DB TARGET
    Change the file data (from step2) 6) and copy of the DBfiles in the new location
    (7) COPY init.ora, init_batch.ora, init_tp.ora
    (8) run the file control (created from step 5)

    (11) START UP targetDB

    Fortunately, I ran the same script for ORACLE11G it works and DB is also copied to 11G.

    Team,

    What worries me is... same scenario for 9i works very well in 11g means what's the features I can include for 11g (what I might have missed)

    NOTE: WITHOUT RMAN

    Please suggest.
    Oracle 11g backup/cloning is the same as 9i as steps above. ?  Please suggest I can include measures to which has the advantages of 11 g. (without RMAN)

    Please Guide

    Thank you

    S

    As mentioned earlier, all or the features to be added depends on many factors i.e. you have the use of this feature, are you allowed to use this etc etc. If you are a developer, someone see what features you used in any other 11g of your environment. Your script should do the part of cloning. Features added in the cloned part can happen later.
