How do I restore the hard ESXi RDM file?

Hi all, I have created a file hard RDM using vmkfstools - z and boarded one of the virtual machines. However, I have deleted the virtual machine of the drive and re - create a new virtual machine in esxi.

When I tried to recreate RDM hard, it shows an error:

vmkfstools - z/vmfs/devices/disks/t10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200______1234ABCD "/ vmfs/volumes/HARDDISK/VM/1234ABCD.vmdk"

Unable to create the virtual disk: the system cannot find the specified file (25).

I noticed there are additional files (: 1,: 2 and: 3) who were not exist when I created first the hard

T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD

T10. 1234ABCDATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___: 1

T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD: 2

T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD: 3

So, does anyone know how to recreate for RDM hard to mount on my new virtual machine without losing any data?

Thank you.

Welcome to the community,

Take a look at e.g. RDMs SATA drives create how to create the RDM. Also make sure that the destination folder (in which you create the map file) already exists.

The additional "files" that you see in the output of the command ls are partitions on this disk, which were probably created while the ROW was mounted on the virtual machine.

    Hello

    Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

  • New hard disc RDM - selection of the mapping of rdm file creation

    Hi all

    I am trying to automate the creation of new RDM disks for virtual machines.

    Watch us row map separately files on a data store named, here is the sequence of orders.

    1. because I can't find the PoweCLI method to create the mapping of RDM file, I use vmkfs as below:

    vmkfstools - z/vfms/devices/disks/naa. XXXX01 /vmfs/volumes/clustername/SharedDisk/hostname/disk1.vmdk

    2. now, we have the mapping of rdm file, I would like to create a new physical disk RDM.

    New-harddisk - Contorller $controller DiskType - RawPhysical - DeviceName ' / vfms, devices, disks, naa.» XXXX01"- vm $vm

    However, this creates a new mapping file. I don't see how I can use the one I created above.

    Am I missing something? The operation of fixing using the existing mapping of RDM file is insignificant in the GUI.

    No, not missing anything.

    This scenario is not possible with the cmdlet New-hard drive I'm afraid.

    You can use a script that uses the ReconfigVM method.

    Through the Device.Backing property, you can specify the location of the VMDK file

  • How can I reinstall the RTL 120 BPL file?

    Original title: rtl 120 bpl

    How can I reinstall the RTL 120 BPL file

    Rtl120.bpl file has Nothing to do with Microsoft Windows.

    It's just a B orland Precompiled Llibrary file with a third party software provider.

    File rtl120.bpl Embarcadero Technologies and is installed on your system to third party such as software packages:

    AVG (their component PC Analyzer)
    TuneUp Utilities
    Advanced System Care (ASC)
    IOBit Malware Fighter Pro

    For example, if you have installed Advanced System Care and rtl120.bpl file that is installed with it goes missing, the message may look like this:

    ASC.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because rtl120.bpl not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    There may be other third-party applications that installs the file, but if you do not provide the exact error message in its entirety person aren't going to be able to help.  And given that the file has absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft Windows, maybe nobody in the Microsoft community will be able to help you without more complete information - like the error message and that if one of these third-party applications (or those like him) you have installed.

    If the system has worked very well and now the file seems to be missing for some reason, it was probably quarantined (effectively deleted) your antivirus/antimalware unspecified software applications.  Perhaps you can also find an updated file in quarantine and he unquarantine.

    With too little information provided, you can expect only theories and speculation about what the problem is and how to fix it.

    If you have one of these types of third party applications or where the product description includes descriptive as sentences:

    cleaner, mechanic, stop at the stand, detective, doctor, heal, optimize, Inspector, clean, tune up, speed up, fix up, compact, compress, faster, power, boost, boost, gum, muncher. Click fix, instant fix, new, intuitive, errors, stops freezes, stops crashing, stop crashes, stops errors, improves, saving you money, risk free, guaranteed or any third-party program that has an icon that looks like a gear, pinion, belt holders, key, key, screwdriver or plunging arrows?

    You may need to uninstall and reinstall these applications (do what the error message).

    If you have this error and none of these products have been installed and reinstall does not help, then you must go to the support page help because the file has nothing to do with Microsoft Windows.

    You might be able to solve the problem to simply uninstall and then reinstall the distressed product (do says what that error message).

    How can I change the type of image file to download on a site like walmart or walgreens for printing?

    In general, they will accept the image in the format, that it was taken (if it was taken by the majority of cameras or cell phones).  But if so, you have a few options.

    The most simple and integrated solution is Microsoft Paint.  Yes it is from the 1980s, but it still works and changes of a good job for a time.  Just to right click on the photo file, choose open with and choose paint.  Then go to file > save as and save this return as the file type you want it to be (like PNG or BMP or JPG, quality declining in the JPG option).

    If you need more options like changing the quality he uses during conversion, another free option (of the very very many) is Paint.NET, an open source free image editing program. http://www.dotPDN.com/downloads/PDN.html

    There are also programs that can do it in bulk, so you can highlight 300 photos and do convert them all at once.  You can do this for free or with tools like Photoshop.

    The links must travel with the illustrator file. In other words, you can't send someone your page layout and not send them all the assets placed in the layout. However, you can embed links, but their incorporation will make your file much more available.

    Use the links Panel to incorporate images. Click on the small icon in the upper right corner of the control panel link drop-down list. I've included a screenshot.
