How to disable snapshots for a vmdk?

I thought that I had asked this before and have the feeling that it is possible, but do not find the information now.

I want to share a vmdk that I use for DATA of the virtual machines. The virtual machine that contains the vmdk DATA does not use / have snapshots, but I want to use snapshots in other virtual machines. I have create a new hard drive in each virtual machine, choose the vmdk existing DATA and select "share this virtual disk with the virtual machine that created it." However, when a snapshot is created in the other VM, it also creates a snapshot of the DATA vmdk. The problem is that if something is written on the vmdk DATABASE, then all the VM who have snapshots will report the DATA as being damaged vmdk.

To work around this problem, I want to disable snapshots for the vmdk from DATA, but leave it turned on for all the other vmdk. Is there a setting to do this?

How do you define a disc to independent mode?

Add the following parameters to the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file, then that is closing, closed not suspended and VMware Fusion.

The syntax is as follows however uses the one appropriate for your configuration.

ide0:0.redo = ""
ide0:0.mode = "independent-persistent"

Or

scsi0:0.redo = ""
scsi0:0.mode = "independent-persistent"

    Dear all,

    I need some aspects of assistance to the deactivation of snapshots for 2 VMS in my HA cluster running Active Directory to Windows 2008 R2.

    I read that best practices for virtual machines running that active Directory is never for them to snapshot.

    VMware has no system automatically taking portraits.

    Snapshots exist either because you made them manually, an application backup created. In this case, talk with your backup vendor.

    How to disable the network adapters in Windows XP?

    It's a very good idea to stop Windows XP to connect to Internet automatically due to the end of support for Windows XP?

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    First of all you could just pull the Ethernet cable if this is a wired adapter. Or remove details of the wireless network, if this is a wireless adapter.

    Some adapters may be disabled via the BIOS setup, in which case they won't be even visible by Windows as the available material. These adapters adapters "embarked", i.e. the Ethernet cable plugs into a socket on the motherboard I/o Panel not the socket on a separate component card snap.

    Expansion card can be deleted without problem after power off, unplug the power cord and anti-static precautions.

    Alternatively, you can...

    • Click Start
    • Click on run
    • Type ncpa.cpl, and then press ENTER.

    In the window that results, you can click with the right button on Ethernet adapters (wired or wireless) and then click on disable.

    The change applies only to new sessions opened by TOMMY.

    So at a minimum all existing sessions belonging to TOMMY need to be terminated.

  • How to disable mirroring for airplay in IOS 10?

    I would use Airplay the old-fashioned way, where I can use it without mirroring (audio and video playback) - anyone have any ideas?  For example, mirroring works well in all applications (i.e. NFL app).  I can't get the audio to work and not the video.

    Hello chimidon,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.

    I see that you want to use Airplay the old way of streaming audio and video, where you can use it without mirroring. I use a lot of Airplay on my iPhone. So I know how it is important to ensure that you are able to use it without any problem.

    iOS 10 includes only the mirroring option in the control center. So, sliding up to open the Control Center allows you to mirror of your iPhone at a connected device Airplay. If you want Airplay from a specific application, the app must have the Airplay feature, and you need to activate Airplay from within the application itself. When you open an application, look for it icon to launch the Airplay and then select your Airplay device.

    All the best.

  • How to disable WiFi for Portege R830 + Port Replicator & external keyboard

    Stupid question I know, but it's driving me crazy.

    I have an external keyboard Port duplicator and the attached monitor. The Port Replicator has a wired Ethernet connection to my local network. When I anchor my R830 in Port Replicator, ideally I would like to turn off the wireless adapter, but at least I certainly want the default use of the wired LAN connection not WiFi.

    Currently, it seems just randomly decide to use wired or wireless connection when I anchor.

    So, two part question:

    1. How can I pay the R830 automatically default to an Ethernet cable when I anchor?
    2. How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)

    Thank you very much in advance for your advice.

    > How can I set the R830 automatically default to a wired Ethernet connection when I anchor?
    If the port replicator is connected to the local network and then the laptop would use the LAN connection automatically if you connect the R830.

    > How can I turn off Wi - Fi when I am connected and using an external keyboard (the toggle F8 to activate wireless switch on the keyboard of the laptop does not work on external keyboards)
    Well, in this case, you can use the internal keyboard to turn off the WiFi using Fn + F8

  • Tecra M5 - how to disable asking for a fingerprint?

    I have a Tecra M5, who has a problem.
    When I turn on the computer it says a HARD internal disk error and then it request a fingerprint. There is no hard drive installed yet because it is a mobile business that the company has withdrawn the HD how to in this computer so I can't disable the fingerprint?

    I n t need because it will be used as a personal computer and non-commercial. If anyone has any idea to solve this, I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you

    AFAIK fingerprints fingerprints will be required when you want to log in the preinstalled operating system and it is unclear to me that you will be asked to fingerprinting at the BIOS level.

    You can enter the BIOS settings?
    Get the HARD drive and try to install the operating system.

  • How to disable vibration for the Windows (R7-572) key?

    Hello

    I am the proud owner of a R7-572, which has a Windows button under the screen. I would turn off the vibration that is when I press it. No idea how to do it?

    Happy new year to all!

    2 comments:

    -J' have already disabled the vibrations made when you use the touch screen, but it has no effect on the vib when you press the windows key

    -I am speaking of the Windows touch key under the screen, not the keyboard Windows key.

    There is no way to disable the vibration of the Windows key on the bottom of the screen.

    It is designed similar to the vibration feedback on a smartphone.

    It starts to vibrate even when pressed outside the UEFI and not in an operating system.

  • How to disable UAC for a particular game

    My son just download this new game, Star Wars: The Old Republic. As it is on a separate user account which is password protected (I am the administrator), whenever it will open up this game, the UAC asking my password, and it really gets on my nerves, because every time I'm dragged more to put in it for him. I tried all the basic things, which is affecting the program affecting always allow through parental control in him giving full access through properties, but nothing seems to work. I can't do the thing with the Task Scheduler, because it doesn't have an administrator account. Please, any help is welcome. (A video tutorial would also be much appreciated)

    Be able to disable the UAC for a specific application would defy its purpose which is to prevent programs do things behind your back. If you can turn it off then that would create a gap as rogue applications exploiting immediately. You have two options:

    • See the FAQ for this game in order to see if it can be changed to be compatible Windows 7.
    • Get a compatible version of Windows 7 the game.
