HP EVA Business copy and VMware

Hello

did anyone of you using HP EVA Business copy (snapshots SAN) with VMware?

What happens if you create a snapshot of a VMFS LUNS? Present you this snapshot to the ESX' are? Do you need tuning to get this working? I think San resignaturing and allowing snapshots of SAN...

Or is it better to only instant RDM LUN? Which will work? Introduce an instant LUN to a virtual machine?

Best practices on this usage?

TIA.

Hello

did anyone of you using HP EVA Business copy (snapshots SAN) with VMware?

Yes, people use it.

What happens if you create a snapshot of a VMFS LUNS?

You make a consistent copy of the crash of all the data on this LUN. Check if VMware SRM will work with Business Copy to make the best copies.

Present you this snapshot to the ESX' are?

Yes.

> Do you need tuning to get this working? I think San resignaturing and allowing snapshots of SAN...

Yes, you need to authorize instant SAN, etc.

Or is it better to only instant RDM LUN? Which will work? Introduce an instant LUN to a virtual machine?

6 of these half dozen of those. Yes, you can provide a snapshot of the RDM to a virtual machine.

Best practices on this usage?

Treat Business Copy in the same way you use any mirror of SAN LUN/snapshot.

  • Retrieve a Document copied by right-clicking "copy" and the function paste

    I created a document three days ago. I tried to copy and paste in another empty document. I have accidentally re-copied something else and stuck the most recent copy, that was not the first document I wanted copied. * I hope this makes sense * what I thought was that Windows maintains these copy documents to the Clipboard. However, I hear that Windows Vista is not such file no longer available. Is it possible to retrieve the first copied document of, perhaps, a list of documents copied from a Clipboard? Because I copied something else before I stuck the first document... I hope that, somehow, it's logical... :) Thank you!

    You should not have a history of items on the Clipboard in Vista (even if there are 3 third party programs that can be installed to provide this functionality).  These features won't work if you have saved this document copied a file - not if you only copied the text, but it was never actually saved.  If this is the case, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

    If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

    If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

    In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/DiskDigger.html (try this second - if it does not also the chances of recovery are slim, but we invite you to try other options if you wish)

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/easusdfr.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/restoration.html

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/downloads/Recuva/dlrecuva.html

    http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

    http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Copy and paste in VM

    There must be a way and it of probably easy enough, but how do I copy text from my desktop and paste it into a virtual machine in vSphere? So, I'm tired of copy and paste into a text document and then having to open it on the virtual machine and thought that there must be an easier way. We are at 5.5.

    It is disabled by default, but you can activate it: VMware KB: clipboard copy / paste does not work in vSphere Client 4.1 and later

  • A separate copy of VMware Fusion by user

    Hello

    I have a Mac Pro where I want two independent copies of VMware Fusion running. I thought I had two users with Admin privileges, and each with a vmware fusion facility that they own.

    One will be the host of services that need to be connected all the time.

    And it will be used for the test and because VMWare fusion does not revertToSnapshot operation while merger is turned on, it will turn it off (at least) before execution of the revertToSnapshot. So I can't have my servers and test virtual machines running on the same copy of VMware Fusion. (Please let me know if I'm wrong and there is a work around which will allow all on a VMWare fusion only exemplary.)

    So in this case, I need two copies, VMWare seems to install so that it is available for all users on the same machine. And it doesn't seem to be a simple installation and uninstallation processes. So I (naively) thought I could package VMWare Fusion just pull on the Applications folder and put in the office he said. And then I can do it again for the other user.

    Which will work?

    Thank you

    I have a Mac Pro where I want two independent copies of VMware Fusion running. I thought I had two users with Admin privileges, and each with a vmware fusion facility that they own.

    To be clear, there's a merger set up by machine (for security reasons). Each user can have its own set of virtual machines.

    And it will be used for the test and since VMWare fusion does not revertToSnapshot operation while the merger is on

    In my view, that the control is actually if there is a lock file, not knowing if any instance of Fusion runs. If user A running virtual machine X and user B wants to return virtual machine, it should work fine (as long as there is not the virtual machine library, but that would cause problems anyway).

    My understanding is that the older versions of vmrun incorrectly ignored the lock file, so if you could revertToSnapshot with Fusion race, there was a small chance of corruption.

  • Licenses of Microsoft and VMware data center

    Hello

    You have a question regarding Microsoft Licensing and VMware ESX hosts.

    We have a Microsoft School Agreement and a lot of our windows servers are running standard edition. One is business running. All about the physical servers.

    We are virtualizing some of our Windows servers and schools prices are very favourable if we buy a license of data center. Its about £70 and it means that we can run an unlimited number of Microsoft server VM in VMware. relation to the enterprise which is only £5 cheaper, but only allows you to run a maximum of 4 people.

    Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

    If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Thank you

    > Question, I realized that a Windows license for data center would be per processor, so if I have 2 physical processorsin each esx host, I need to get 2 X Datacenter license per ESX host, is - that correct?

    Fix.

    License from Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to run with Virtualization Technologies

    Page 13:

    Instead of license servers with enough licenses Windows Server 2008 Standard to satisfy the greatest number of simultaneously running instances of Windows Server, the processors in servers could be allowed with Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition. This would allow an unlimited number of instances of Windows Virtual Server to run simultaneously in operating systems. Because the servers have two processors, two licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition for each server should be. Licenses of Windows Server 2008, Datacenter Edition provides the flexibility to move instances of Windows Server without concern to maintain the license compliance.

    > If I bought 6 data center licenses (3 ESX host with 2 physical processors in each), what version of Windows server can be used, I understand his only standard or Premium, can anyone confirm this? It also covers Windows XP?

    Anton is correct - Datacenter license covers only the OS Server.

  • Captivate 6 - cannot copy and paste them to different slides

    Hello

    I recently spent some time creating a Captivate template to use for my company's eLearnings. I noticed that when I created a project of this model, I am not able to copy and paste objects (buttons, for example) from one slide to another in the new cptx file.

    As a test, I created a simple model of dummy and then created a model of a model project, and I have the same problem.

    In the dummy model, I can copy and paste objects to a new slide, but in my business model, I can't.

    Note: the pasted object does not appear on the stage or timeline.

    Hello

    I found the answer, these files have been created in captivate 7 not 6, when I open or save it in captivate 6, there is no message, as in for example captivate in 8 files created in a more recent/Sour version. Everything except copy/paste works fine, y at - it an option for the news in what version of captivate file has been created?

  • How to copy of VMware Workstation 6.5.2 VMS in VMware Fusion?

    Hello!

    Sorry if this is a FAQ, but after a search, I couldn't find an answer.

    I am to evaluate VMware Fusion on my MacBook Pro.

    I started a live Linux CD is inside VMware Fusion, to confirm that my installation of merger works perfectly.

    However, now I need to copy some VM I made on VMware Workstation 6.5.2, to VMware Fusion.

    What is the best way to do it?

    I copied the directories for the virtual machine.  In Fusion, I tried to open the *.vmdk files directly, but they are not accepted as a valid file type.

    The operating system of the host VMware Workstation's kernel version 2.6.29, 64-bit Linux.

    The operating system of the host VMware Fusion is Mac OS 10.5.6.

    The BONES of the guests are varied.  I have a Windows XP virtual machine, a Linux virtual 32-bit and a 64-bit virtual machine Linux.

    What is the best way to copy of VMware Workstation, VMware Fusion?

    VMware Converter seems to be the best route to follow, but it seems destined only to installations of Windows, and it is also oriented towards P2V, do not copy an existing VM.

    Thank you!

    Josh

    Stop the virtual machines and close the workstation.

    A copy of the entire folders to your Mac.

    Perform the merge.  Open an existing virtual machine... Navigate to the vmx file.  You may need to edit the file to change the names of specific OS devices and/or file/PropertyPath, syntax.

  • Sharing folders, drag and drop, copy and paste that NONE works!

    I got 6.5 VMware workstation installed about 3 weeks now and I think my wife think me crazy for buying the license last night due to the fact that he has several features that simply do not work.

    Now I ask anyone with knowledge of this product for shut up here and explain it.  The instructions are not difficult to understand, and no reason I can think to copy and paste them here since the help files.

    I will say this however.  I am running windows XP pro host and Vmware with Linux Red Hat Fedora 10 as the guest OS.  I'll probably install XP on it in a day or two to see how it works.  Long user VPC time here to try VMWARE first at the time I also tried connectix VPC and choose to keep the VPC then as the top program.  It is quite obvious that VMware is the best of both in its current phase, but how in the world can you expect from ourselves to a program that does not work in some critical areas.

    Is anyone else out there there's this version 6.5 installed and if yes can actually use you files shared?  Someone there itstalled with XP and Linux Guest host?

    Any one that can have drag and drop?  Copy and paste work?  Anyone with shared working folders?

    Anyone?

    15 + years here making advanced computer repair and management of small groups of private programmers and even if I'm not him the brightest star in the sky, I think that if these features worked I could do it, but they simply do not have.

    I have a bum facility or what?

  • Takes are silent when copied and pasted into the new track

    After recording several takes of a vocal part and a model gliding around how I like it, I decided to dub the voices and use another part of the (unused) takes.

    I created a new title in doubles (CMD - D) and pasted the vocal track (including), but the new double track is silent.  I can see the track and everything going out there and tried to remove plugins, copy and paste in different ways, but the track and just stay silent.  I can see them all here in the new track, and all that I can see, they should be heard.

    I tried this search anywhere online and cannot find any mention of this problem anywhere.  Is this just a bug?  I forgot something?

  • Formula works in a line, but the same formula (copied and pasted) work not in other rows.

    I have a formula which, if there is a number in the box, multiplied by a price, then sums the results in a final column. I copied it in 7 rows. He changed that required line numbers, the formulas that look all right, but nothing than to do the work of other 6, it seems to me unless I fill all the blank cells in row 0. Curiously, one that works is not that I typed the formula in the original line, and it has empty cells.

    Here's the formula, each column has a product, then the cell is multiplied by a number, this number being the cost of the product. If there is no product sold, the cell is empty, so it is 0.

    IFERROR ((B6×50) +(C6×30) +(D6×60) +(E6×40) +(F6×30) +(G6×25) +(H6×25) +(I6×20) + (6 × 20) + (K6 × 25) +(L6×20) +(M6×15) + (6 × 10) + +(O6×10) (P6), 0)

    Ideas?

    Here's a way to do what you call:

    I guess constant multipliers are immutable, when used on different lines...

    In this example, the multipliers are stored on the first line (but can be anywhere you like).

    A2 = SUMPRODUCT (B$ 1: $ 1, B2:P2 P)

    It's shorthand dethrone select cell A2, and then type (or copy and paste it here) the formula:

    = SUMPRODUCT(B$1:P$1, B2:P2)

    Select cell A2, copy

    Select cells A2 at the end of the column, paste

    The constants are set up like this:

    Here is the table already set up (you can copy and paste here) then you can just add the formula:
