Image clone with more than 500 GB of disk

I have my Hot tring clone a virtual machine with a 500 GB RDM.. the destination data store is 1.5 TB...

However, I get the error message "the file is larger that the maximum size supported by the destination data store"...

Chances are good that when the destination data store was created, it was created with a block size "small". If the block size is 1 MB, the maximum file size is 256 GB, if the block size is 2 MB, maximum file size is 512 MB, and so on until to the block size of 8 MB). It's the same problem you're having with FAT & ext3 with files larger than 2 GB...

  • Hello, I want to build several video clips with more than 500 images (pictures) of each clip. I need to apply a different video transition effect to each photo. It might even be random effects. I see that I can apply a unique to all p transition effect

    Hello, I want to build several video clips with more than 500 images (pictures) of each clip. I need to apply different transitions video effects by alternating each photo. It could be random effects. I see that I can apply a unique pictures transition effect at the same time, but how to apply different transitions not one by one? I could do a clip applying different transitions manually as I wish between hundreds of photos, but I would like to be able to repeat all the transitions of a new video by changing only the photos. Is this possible? Or a tool to apply random transition effects between photos? Or a way to automate the actions to apply different transitions similar to what we can do in Photoshop? Thank you!

    But how to apply different transitions not one by one?

    You can not.

    If you wish to make a slideshow with all the transitions better fantasies use something like Pro Show gold.

    Alt drag window project replaces clip/still on the timeline.

  • After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm before closing

    After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm prior to closing. FF always asked me to confirm in the past and no settings have been changed before you try tab groups. Then when I open FF it again all the tabs I had open are still there. I tried refreshing FF and erase history, but that did not work. It's almost as if FF think windows and tabs I have open are a group of tabs, and he won't let me get rid of this group. How to stop groups of tabs now that I have them? Or is there something else? None of this was going on until this morning, I played with tab groups. I was curious what it was - it's going to make me kill one of these days lol.

    Note that using "show my windows and tabs from last time" as the start setting will also prevent Firefox to display an alert when you close the window.

    Hello

    First of all I must say it is really hard to say something about it without having heard this noise you want to say.

    Generally speaking, it of normal that you hear some noises during writing or reading process of the HARD drive.
    You can test your HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test. Which is a freeware tool that can check the HARD disk.

    Hello

    Thank you for the additional information.

    Yesterday, I decided to register on IT * files .tmp on DVD and I removed them from the TEMP directory. I decided to do it because none of the processes they used at the time of my comment. I compared the the event logs for any new warnings or errors, but mistakes are appearing as before removal. The errors are:
    -The parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
    -Could not load the plug-in module. (GUID = {56F9312C-C989-4E04-8C23-299DEE3A36F5}) (Error code = 0 x 80042019)

    I haven't checked on the first error, but it appears in the system log because I erased the corrupt system log - also before deleting the files.
    The second is well known 'Vaio Entertainment Database Services' error (in the application log) and everyone invites you to remove this service from startup list. So maybe I'll do it.

    My Vaio has now extra 7.5 GB of free space and has no performance or other problems (so far).

    Today, I tried this (sfc/scannnow) system scan and the log is perfectly clean. Nothing has been repaired.
    Also checkdisk returns nothing abnormal so I think the albums * .tmp not fail at any other SW. The other issue is how they were created, but as my log files have been corrupted (another known problem of vista), I will probably never know the answer.

    If new sth will appear on the subject (e.g. new TOP * .tmp files), I'll write again.

    Thank you once again.

  • Win7 Pro XP Mode with more than 4 cores of the processor installed

    There is a small class of Windows 7 users in a particular section.  Leave section A Win7 users with more than the standard 4 hearts of the processor installed, in some cases, several times more.  Or B article Win7 users "legacy Software".  Note that "legacy software" not only old XP/32 software but also includes some advanced technical software for which the latest version is not stable on Win7 or Vista, and which also does not work on any operating system other than Windows.  People who reside in sections A and B, called 'Goblet' hereby shall Win7 Pro XP mode.  However, XP mode currently fails to install the last step with no further comment or recommendation, for all people in the section AxB.  There is a related hotfix KB2519949 which covers the series of chips AMD 8-core Bulldozer.  Microsoft has indicated that KB2519949 is highly specific instance and emits a strong caveat.  The fix may not work and may even be unstable on some systems.  Miscrosoft indicates on page Web KB2519949 further research is necessary.  I need to install XP mode and the Virtual Machine on Win7 Pro with 2 x Intel CPU E5-2620 (24 hearts).  I would accept that XP mode can run on only a subset of my installation of CPU, but only on condition that this does not affect my full CPU installation and proper use on Win7.  This is part of my doctoral research, and the problem has delays.

    Hello

    Yes you can, you can upgrade to 2 GB and because she has only 1 slot you have to throw 1 GB and 2 GB, put on it. I replaced the RAM for my daughter about 2 months back. He encrypted his 28 our Australian dollars and 5 minutes of my time.

  • Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

    I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

    Environment:

    Dell Poweredge T620

    E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

    40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

    ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

    Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

    Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

    Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

    The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

    5.5 of VMware ESXi

    ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

    5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

    Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

    Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

    Thanks for all the help!

  • Licenses to create a virtual machine is second with more than 8 cores?

    So, we have a machine with 4 physical Sockets with 16 cores on each. We bought 4 licenses of vmware's standard. Now, we saw early on that the number max of hearts that we assign to a virtual machine was 32, which isn't really a big problem, 32 is a lot for our needs. So we have a 32 core virtual machine running and some other smaller, but now when I try to create another virtual machine with more than 8 cores it tells me that I have insufficient licenses.

    Can anyone provide more information on that? If I can create a virtual machine with more than 8 cores, why I can't create a new one?

    He said authorized to 4 physical processors, so it's ok, it's using your Standard licenses.

    During the 60-day trial, you could create more large virtual machines, because the 60 days run with Enterprise Plus features. Now that you are using the standard license, you can create only 8 vCPU VMs.

    Solution:

    You should spend 5.5 ESXi. Your license will also work for 5.5 and you'll be able to create virtual machines with up to 64 vCPUs.
