How to remove snapshots are deleted?

Hello

I have a simple question? Once the connection in the client vSphere and deletion of snapshots via the Snapshot Manager, I see more the snapshot under servers. However, I still see taking them a space of data on the SAN, which is where I got them for.


The question: How can I delete the snapshots to regain space on the SAN without the servers? I tried to move them before deleting in another folder first to find that the server would not load without them in the same folder as the files from the server, so I had to move their back on the server that I moved to the source so that it can start again. Snapshots are is more listed in the Snapshot Manager but are always on him WITHOUT taking much space I want to return to.

I was told that vCenter would be able to delete all snapshots of without slot all servers, it's that good, I was told that there is a command option in vCenter which has delete all snapshots of all servers as a command is how delete all snapshots are more listed in the Manager of shapshot that are always in place of data in storage?

Or y at - it another way to remove unnecessary snapshots of without any servers to start without the old clichés?

Thank you
Kyle

  • Deletion of snapshots failed, how to remove snapshots?

    Hello

    I tried to delete/merge snapshots to a server, and the operation has failed with an error saying that there is not enough disk space on the lun.

    In the snapshots via the vSphere client Manager, there is no more available snapshots, see the disk names:

    The virtual machine has two disks

    [xxx [lun-xxx-Server] Server] / 01-xxx-service - 000001.vmdk
    [xxx [lun-xxx-Server] Server] / 01-xxx-service_1 - 000006.vmdk

    He always uses the instant vmdk for two disks and more and more.

    How can I stop this and merge with basic disks?

    [xxx [lun-xxx-Server] Server] / xxx-01 - service.vmdk
    [xxx [lun-xxx-Server] Server] / xxx-01 - service.vmdk

    When I browse the data store there are still a few shots left and more... (see screenshot)

  • Virtual machines on NFS data warehouses freeze when snapshots are deleted

    I'm running 3 ESXi 4.1 update 1 guest (essentials more license) with shared storage on a NetApp FAS2040 accessible via NFS. 5.2 PHD virtual is deployed for backups. Each time the backup is completed on a virtual machine and the snapshot is removed, the virtual machine in question freezes completely (not yet responding to pings) for 10 to 30 seconds. The issue is documented in the following VMware article:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031106

    However, while the article claims that the problem has been resolved in a fix, I persist it despite running on the last level of patch (build 433742). Is that all that I should have done after installing the latest patch? If the issue is not yet fixed, is there one solution other than to switch to iSCSI?

    According to Ko, the patch is ESXi 4.1 patch ESXi410-201104402-BG contains vmware-tools. One thing to try is maybe upgrade your vmware tools in the virtual machine? (I don't know if you have upgraded)

  • How to remove snapshot

    I have a few virtual machines that I take weekly snapshots.  I want to only keep a snapshot at a time, when it's time to take my new cliché, I therefore remove the earlier and then take a new.  Is there a reason why I could not take snapshot #2, then after it's done, remove the snapshot #1?  I googled and am unable to find a reason why I shouldn't.

    Thank you!

    I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to do even if I'd rather just to the top of the virtual machine instead of trying to rely on snapshots for recovery.

    1 n ° put them on a regular external drive and the value of Time Machine to back up as well; the files you want to keep should be at least two disks in case one of them goes down.

    2. they will not be usable until the restoration.

  • How can I make and delete a snapshot of the command line in ESXi 4?

    How can I make and delete a snapshot of the command line in ESXi 4?  ghettoVCB4i does, but I need unusual behaviour for two virtual machines.  I need to be able to save only one of the two virtual drives, not both.  So I can't use this script here.  I need to write a script that will:

    1 copy off the .vmx

    2 make a snapshot of a virtual computer running

    3 use the vmkfstools command to clone the vmdk in the backup location

    4 remove the snapshot.

    The snapshot is the part that I do not know how.  I do not see a flash drive in vmkfstools and I do not understand the snapshot code in ghettoVCB4i.

    Thank you!

    vmkfstools is a tool for working with VMDK, has nothing to do with stereotypes. In the Busybox unsupported console, the only tool that you can use for some of the management of the virtual computer is vim-cmd , which is about a wrapper for VMware vimsh, take a look at our site for more information: http://engr.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/#vmware_vimsh

    Basically, you're going to do something like the following:

    vim-cmd "vmsvc/snapshot.create XXXX FIRST_SNAPSHOT MY_FIRST_SNAPSHOT_1"
    

    where XXXX is VmId to the virtual machine that is retrieved from vmsvc/getallvms, then you are going to deliver the snapshot.remove

    Here are some other useful commands dealing with snapshots:

    Vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall \[VmId]

    [[[vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.remove \[VmId\] \[removeChildren\] \[snapshotLevel\] \[snapshotIndex\]

    Vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.get \[VmId\]

    ghettoVCB4i uses vimsh to do these things as well.

  • Snapshot Manager was unable to remove the snapshot but deleted the reference to it. Now what?

    I was working with my VMware Workstation, when I was running from not enough space on my host machine.

    I decided to go to my virtual machine and delete all unused snapshots to recover disk space.

    When I tried to do it, using the Snapshot Manager, I learned that it was not enough disk space to complete the operation, but references to the snapshot files have been deleted, which means I can try more to remove the old clichés.

    How can I recover diskspace wasted, now that the snapshots are no longer visible in the list of snapshots?

    I scoured my error log and came across this error message, so who can provide any useful information:

    Jan 11 16:02:17: vmx\

    DISKLIB-LIB: not enough space to combine. Have 644259840 bytes, 5607260160 bytes, of need.

    PLATE: SnapshotConsolidate has no 5

    Jan 11 16:02:17: vmx\

    SNAPSHOT: consolidate has no 5

    First of all make sure that you have enough free disk space - and then create a new snapshot, and delete again.

    Who must complete the new snapshot Manager

  • How to remove photos from my iPhone without deleting icloud photo library?

    My iPhone is full and I wanted to remove some photo to release some spaceso I supported the up to iCloud and I started to remove photos. ***? They are endangered to iCloud! Now, they're just gone. It's crazy! Image capture you can import to everywhere, but the function "delete after importing" seems to have disappeared. I'm sure this question has been beat to death, but how you remove photos from their phone without removing them from their photo library iCloud?

    So frustrating.

    Does anyone know of a solution to this?

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not just external storage.  Once you turn on photo library all you do with a photo is on ALL of your devices (including remove them).  See the last section in this article on how to recover pictures that you inadvertently deleted:

    iCloud: use iCloud photo library on your iOS device

    How to remove pictures and videos from a camera using iCloud photo library?

    If you want to delete the pictures and videos of all your iOS, Mac and iCloud.comdevices, you can delete them in the Photos app.

    When you delete a photo or video of your Photos app, also will not delete your photo library and iCloud iCloud storage. You can retrieve your photos and videos from the album recently deleted for 30 days.

    How iCloud library works is that all the photos are on iCloud and on the device connected to this library to iCloud. If you remove anywhere from anywhere, they are deleted.
