• How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection

  Hello!

  I keep looking for an answer to this anywhere on the web and 3 books, but can't find the answer...

  How to identify the virtual copies (in my records) that have already been deleted a collection?

  Here's the workflow, and where I'm stuck.

  1. I chose a picture and put it in a collection.

  2. I did a whole bunch of virtual photos in the collection copies that I tried different modifications.

  3. after and during a lot of changes, I have a lot of virtual copies removed from my collection because I decided against the changes after doing some comparisons.

  4. when I went the folders to select my next picture to work away and so to add to the collection, I discovered that each of my virtual copies was in the original folder, even if I had deleted from my collection.

  5. I really don't want these virtual copies deleted to be in my home folder.  They were virtual copies of trial and error and I wanted them to really just be thrown out.

  6. how to identify these virtual copies removed-from-the-collection in my folder?  File names all look the same, and besides, I want to be absolutely certain that I have selected the right ones.  Some of the changes were very minor and would be difficult to see without laboriously go through them one by one.

  Thank you very much!!

  No easy answer on fixing the mess other than an individual inspection of the virtual copy can't watching the Images/Edit history to determine which ones that you no longer need.

  But to help prevent the problem in the future: when you are working from a collection, you must use ALT + return back to remove a copy of Photo or virtual catalog. With just the key DELETE or BACKSPACE only deletes the photo from the collection.

• How to extend a virtual disk in a workflow

  Hello together,

  I have a problem in the creation of a Workflow.

  I want to deploy a virtual with a CustSpec computer (works fine). After the deploymente, I want to thank the disc - it's my problem.

  Did anyone of you knows how to expand a virtual disk to a virtual machine?

  Thank you very much

  Marc

  I have not tried this at my end, but you can try something like this:

  You need create a scriptable task and the research of the class script VirtualLsiLogicController from the API Explorer. The properties that need are required to set as seen in the reference of vSphere are:

  -busnumber (can be set to 0)

  -button (can be set to 0)

  -sharedBus (set VirtualSCSISharing.physicalSharing) / / VirtualSCSISharing is an enum type, consult the API Explorer

  After you set the object above (VirtualLsiLogicController), it defined in the the virtualdeviceconfigspec object and the value of this deviceconfigspec to the devicechange of the virtualmachine context property (as previously done for adding a virtual disk).

  I hope that helps!

• How to correlate the virtual disk on the disk of OS

  I need to remove one of the virtual virtual machine disks. The problem is that I have two identical drives, more they are on Rible virtual scsi adapters so if I look at the properties of disks in disk management, they are both targets ID 0. Is there another way to correlate the virtual disk belongs to disk inside the BONE?

  ESX4.1U2

  W2K8R2

  TIA

  Troy

  Since this is often not easy to understand, I usually create each disc with a slightly different size. That said, resize one of the disks (for example add 1 GB virtual disk) and you will be able to identify the disk that you want to remove.

• How to extend a virtual disk on WS7?

  I use a virtual machine of WS7 running Win7x64 as my software development system.

  He has a 100 GB virtual disk and now I try to install Embarcadero RAD Studio XE7 on that, but is greeted by a message saying that the 33.6 GB of free space is not enough...

  He needs 37 a few GB.

  So now that I look at my options and the first, we must somehow extend the virtual disk (vmdk file) to a larger size.

  Is it possible at all the tool magic VMware or what I need to create a new record and the use of some software cloning inside the VM for Win7 to transfer the content courses like the one made when moving to a bigger real physical drive?

  Looks like it should be possible so to increase the size of the car without touching the data such that the partition holding the 100 GB drive is not now the disk is full.

  In this case, I use Win7 tools to extend the partition to use the full disk.

  Any advice/suggestions?

  Expand a virtual disk is a fairly straightforward task. Make sure that the virtual machine have Active snapshots and then increase the size of the virtual disk by typing in its new size in settings of the virtual machine HARD drive. After increasing the virtual disk, you must increase the partition within the guest OS. For Windows 7, this can be done in the disk management interface.

  Remember that when you set up a monolithic virtual disk for the virtual machine (i.e. a single hard large file), a new virtual disk will be created and all content will be copied on to this new hard file, which will have some time at the end, but it will also take the additional temporary disk space.

• How to create a virtual disk thick

  I'm trying to create a thick virtual disk without success. (Do not understand format.)

  I'm using this syntax.

  vmkfstools - ch. 2048 m /vmfs/volumes/myVMFS/rh6.2.vmdk

  I suspect that the problem is a lack of understanding of what "myVMFS" is-, but no less - the baffeled.

• How to hide partitions of disk in Explorer Windows 8?

  In Windows 7, it was possible through a registry hack to hide specific drives (partitions), but accessible through the drive letter. Solutions on Windows 8 seem to focus on the removal of the drive letter in the management of the computer (storage) which is not satisfactory, because you have to reverse the process in order to use the drive.

  Hide a Partition or hard disk: Group Policy (windows 8 & 8.1 Pro, Enterprise, x 86 & x 64)
  To start Group Policy by pressing Windows-R, type gpedit.msc and pressing on enter. Navigate to the following in the Local Group Policy Editor model: User Configuration > administrative templates > Windows components > FileExplorer
  Hide these drives specified in work center to find the template, and then double-click it.
  Move from not configured to "Enabled" and select one of the following combinations on the menu drop-down.
  Restart the computer, or log on to see the changes you have made. The changes can be reversed by disabling the setting in the Group Policy Editor. This will only remove the icon of the disk of the file Explorer. You can still access the disks for example.
  When you want to open just open run and type your player for ex:-win + R-> D: and press ENTER.

• How to shrink a virtual disk (vmdk file)

  I use VMware Workstation 12.1 Pro on Windows 7 x 64.

  I have a virtual drive of 140 GB that I converted to stretch of prealloue (with excellent yesterday using continuum here).

  First, in Windows Disk Manager, I lowered the score of 140 GB GB 70, leaving the end 70 GB unallocated (unused). So I thought it would be easy to reduce the 140 GB vmdk file to 70 GB.

  I ran the vmware - vdiskmanager.exe command line with the-k option on the file vmdk from the host with the virtual machine off. Then in the virtual machine powered on, the command prompt, I ran VMwareToolboxCmd.exe fret C:\.

  These two options gave me a disc that was essentially the same size than what I started with. Looks like there should be an easy way to drop that last unused 70 GB, but I can't. Which offer a suggestion?

  Thank you!

  Joe

  To effectively reduce a vmdk extensible, you must be able to write to these locations with the trash.
  You resized the partition - which means that the trash is outside the accessible area in writing.
  Options:
  create a partition at the end of the disc, wipe it by filling it with zeros, when the partition is completely filled with zeros - shrink again and remove the fake wall when done. I suggest this order:
  Start: preallocated 140 GB vmdk
  1 defragment the partition from inside the guest
  2. resize the partition to 70 GB
  3. turn off the virtual machine completely and simply cut the flat.vmdk to 71 GB with a dd command
  4. adjust the description of the measure in descriptorfile

  result: a vmdk préallouée 70 GB
