Inability to create the snapshot (General error) - need help

Hello

Since 3 days, snapshot is no longer working with one of my VM (is a production machine).

Vsphere Client 5.5.0 I got a General in vSphere Client error when I do a snapshot. In management of snapshot section, I see no snapshot

but when I go into the directory of the virtual machine by ssh is to see that below (there are a few photos...)

I tried to create the snapshot with and without the data from the memory, but it always the same effect. (Snapshot is taken with the virtual machine is turned on).

  • What am I trying to consolidate the disk? Is it safe?
  • Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

I found the problem

Some VM had a disc mounted in vSphere. It worked until last week, don't know why this problem only appears now.

After you have disconnected the CD, 'manage the snapshot' list still empty, I clicked on consolidate first, after that, back to 'manage the snapshot' and my snapshots

appeared. And last step, I deleted this snapshot for merge all...

Maybe this will help someone else...

  • Impossible to create capture instant for VM1, error-3941 (create the snapshot has failed)

    I vSphere 4.0.0 208111 using VDR 1.1.0.707 appliance for backup of a Windows Server 2003 SP2 with VMware tools installed (including the VSS component).

    I am unable to back up a VM, but can save all other virtual machines.

    Have tried to re - install VMware tools, ensuring Windows VSS patches are up to date.

    I can do a ntbackup to system within the virtual machine with success status.

    Impossible to find someone else suffer the same error with-3491, create the snapshot has failed.

    Any ideas?

    Paul

    To simulate a VDR initiated snapshot, try a manual snapshot of the virtual machine and see if it passes or fails.  If it fails, then that explains the error 3941.  Be sure to uncheck the memory status and check the comments of quiesce file system option during an attempt of the manual snapshot because it will mimic the snapshot operation that initiates the VDR.

  • Empty Device Manager and for error message "cannot create the enumerated device root need to install Parallels paravirtualization pilot".

    Original title: Device Manager empty

    I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 installed in a Bootcamp partition on my Intel iMac. I can detect and install new hardware such as USB keys. However, the Device Manager window is blank - how can I get the window to display the devices connected to the computer? I am also unable to install Parallels tools when I use Bootcamp as a virtual machine. The error message "cannot create the 'root-enumerated device' necessary to install Parallels Paravirualization driver.

    Hey Harcjk,

    For your first question, go through this article.

    None of the items appear in the device list manager when you open
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/311504

    For the second question, here are some suggestions:

    Method 1: Uninstall & install Parallels tools

     

    NOTE: we highly recommend you make a backup of the virtual machine before you continue.

    a. start your virtual machine and cancel the installation of Parallels Tools Wizard.

    b. Click Start--> Panel--> Add / Remove programs and remove the Parallels tools in the list of applications.

    c. restart Windows.

    d. install the Parallels tools by clicking on the Virtual Machine--> install the Parallels Tools.

    Method 2: Uninstall antivirus software

    If the problem persists, try the following:

    Temporarily uninstall all the antivirus software to the virtual machine and repeat steps of the "Uninstall & install Parallels Tools" section above.

    Note: Don't forget to install the back antivirus software, once the problem is resolved.

     

    Method 3: Uninstall, clean & install Parallels tools

     

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

     

    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows XP

    d. go to 'my computer' > 'C' drive > "Program Files" > "Parallels" folder and delete the "Parallels Tools" folder, if present.

    e. click the Windows 'Start' menu-> 'run' and type 'regedit'. Click OK.

    f. in the registry editor, go to "My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Parallels" and delete the heading "Parallels Tools" and go to "My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Parallels" and remove the 'Tools' section.

    g. restart Windows.

    h. now install Parallels tools in the 'VM' menu on the Parallels Desktop menu bar, while Windows is running.

    I hope this helps.

  • vDR 2.0 on ESXi 4.1u1 - could not create the snapshot (cannot disable Storage VMotion)

    Two vCenter servers - updated to 5.0 and the other left to 4.1 for now. All ESXi hosts are always 4.1u1. Updated vDR devices since the notes say 2.0 is compatible with 4.0u3, 4.1u1 and 5.0, but now none of my backups work. No matter what vCenter the plugin works through, each virtual machine backup process immediately fails with the error "failed to create the capture instant for VMname, error-3961 (cannot disable Storage VMotion). I can still take snapshots manually via vSphere Client, so I don't know why vDR fail to take a. Ideas?

    Add a few lines to datarecovery.ini on VDR:

    [Options]

    EnableSVMotionCompatibility = 0

    and reboot device here. Page 44 of VDR Admin Guide.
