• Error running VDR: Trouble reading files, error-3942 (delete Snapshot failed)

  Hello

  I currently have a problem with my VDR backups. as indicated in the title, the error I get is "error running VDR: Trouble reading files, error-3942 (delete Snapshot failed)".

  Background

  We are currently running VMware Vsphere version 4.0.0 on VDR version 1.1.0.707. We have a task of backup running in Vsphere that takes a snapshot of every night of the VM. It is then wrapped on tape for the archive.

  Question

  All of the virtual machine is backup successfully except one. I get the error message is as above: "error running VDR: Trouble reading files, error-3942 (delete Snapshot failed)".

  The backup task completed successfully, and the virtual machine can be restored from a backup. However, the virtual machine always has a snapshot and in addition, the virtual disk to the virtual machine is still attached to the host.

  The current will of this issue that we use is:

  (1) stop the VDR Server

  (2) remove the attached hard disk

  (3) to take a snapshot of the virtual machine

  (4) delete all snapshots.

  I would like to find a solution to the underlying cause, as the current will is tedious and time consuming.

  Another note, the logic unit number that the virtual machine is currently has a block size of 2 MB while all other virtual machines have a block size of 1 MB...

  If you need any additional info, feel free to ask.

  See you soon,.

• "the file is not found" after apple update.

  "the file is not found" after apple update.  Before the update, I've drag only the pictures I want to edit iPhoto to lightroom and change them.  However, after I upgraded apple iPhoto photos, there is no connection between my modified pictures and lightroom and I get the above message. I know where the photos are (in the content of the packaging of my iPhoto library).  However, when I try to find photos by clicking on the exclamation mark (on the thumbnail of the photo) which means that the photo can be found, I can't open the iPhoto package content.  does anyone have a solution?

  I recommend that remove you the Photos app entirely.

  File > PlugIn options... > import from iPhoto.

  However. If you want to continue to manage with Photos AND Lightroom, you can create an alias of the Masters record (in the package contents) and place it in a suitable place. Lightroom will be able to see this file in the import dialog box.

  Locate one of the images that is missing and it should be able to locate the others.

• a VMDK file is not recognized as vmdk file in esxi

  For some reason strange esxi is not recognizing my vmdk format vmdk file. He sees it only as a normal file. And when I try to turn on the virtual machine, I get an error indicating that the vmdk file is not a valid file.

  It seems that you (or someone else) changed the header vmdk file manually. Otherwise it would not exist a file 'vmdk.old '.

  Go to the command line (on the console or ssh) and check that the content of the header vmdk file is correct. If you need help, please send the header as well as the file ".old" file to see what has changed.

• Check orphaned vmdk files are not used before deleting

  Hi all

  I'm working on a site and after looking through the vSphere platform, it came to light that there are THOUSANDS (well more than 10,000) of orphaned VMDK files, it seems that there is a bug in the backup solution (you think).

  In any case I was hoping someone could help me please do you know if there is a way to confirm that a vmdk is certainly not necessary, the tools I've used to identify the orphaned VMDK are the script here practically Jason: orphaned VMDK files and RV tools (health tab).

  What I need to do now is to automate the removal of the VMDK if possible, but I need to run a test of consistency first to ensure that the files are actually orphans.

  Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I can give you only a few rough concepts and advice because I do not know the details.

  First, he yells for PowerCLI, below, you will get a few commands. If you are not familiar with PowerCLI/Powershell I highly recommend to get a grip on it.

  Second, I'll assume that orphaned files = unused files. If this isn't the case, you can rename/move file instead of delete and wait as these phone calls / tickets

  Thirdly, since we will work on files on data warehouses, we will use "vmstores" PSDrive. Get-PSdrive cmdlet will give you all the readers, that you, one of them is vmstores

  To get your typical data warehouse 'cd ":

  CD vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster

  On each level, you can do 'ls' or 'cmd '. Tab completion works on everything in order to use it

  From now on, all depends on what you already have and what it looks like. These files have a naming pattern names containing the name of the virtual machine or other information ("backup", "tmp" etc.)? You have these names stored somewhere? In text or csv file?

  I guess you have the list of files in the text file. So much more simple method would be to be scan all data warehouses and all files. As you can imagine it is very time and resource consumption, so not recommended to all

  #we're importing filenames to variable
  $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt
  cd vmstores:\your_vcenter\your_cluster
  $oldfiles | ForEach-Object {
  #we're recursivly looking for file stored in $_ special variable (current object)
  $deleteme = Get-ChildItem $_ -Recurse
  #deleting the file
  Remove-Item $deleteme.PSPath
  }
  

  If the file names that you already can somehow correspond directly to the VM, then we could use a more intelligent approach.

  Let's say we have the testVM001 - bak003.vmdk and VMname file is testVM001. We can remove all characters after the 9th tank and then work on it:

  #we're importing filenames to variable
  $oldfiles = Get-Content your_text_file.txt
  
  $oldfiles | ForEach-Object {
      #getting VM name
      $vmname = $_.Remove(9)
      #getting VM path
      $vmpath = (Get-VM -Name $vmname |Get-Datastore).DatastoreBrowserPath
      #combining full path
      $fullpath = $vmpath + "\" + $vmname
      cd $fullpath
      #deleting the file
      Remove-Item ./$_
  }
  

  These are simple ideas, it could be useful.

• Windows operating system 7/libraries/My Pictures / photos file will not delete and says it is shared and what is not.

  Hello

  I've been browsing the forums for a while now and cannot find something to help with a problem I have.  I recently had a security breach on my computer and some nasty viruses.  I performed a complete re install and format.  I bought an external drive to backup everything.  I cleaned the virus and malware better I was able with the help of a friend and my brother then put my photos, music and documents on the external hard drive.  Did the factory reset and runs my Eset on the computer at the same time so the external hard drive.  Nothing showed up, and I'm sure that I'm safe and secure.

  The problem I have is in a file named "Images" that I had made myself with in "My pictures" in the library directory.  I did a cut of my computer and paste it on the external hard drive because I wanted nothing here when I did the installation of the plant.  After that everything was set up I happened to see that pictures of file was still there.  It was curious to me because (I checked) there is no pictures in one file or files of void.  When clicking on properties it says clearly the file is 'shared' which is curious, because I would never share them with anyone.  It's on a computer in my house private network and a secure password wireless modem that I am hard plugged on.  When you click on the tab for sharing on this file, it is clear that the file is not shared.  So you can see my confusion.  If you delete the file he reapears as soon as you click again on the repertoire and to him.  So, basically every time that you remove them it.   Tonight, something different is happening while I was playing around with it, I noticed it seemed to have pictures inside.  When I checked that of course there are maybe 5 to 10 pictures in the files with names on them.  You cannot draw such "update Viewer" everything is updated and you may not remove the 'ghosting' individual

  I think I've covered all of that.  Everyone ran through this and y at - it something I can do to remove this file?

  Thank you very much for this ThrashZone talk with me and help.  I takes care of this for months and was very frustrated.  Something you said on the scene made me watch all my libraries and see what were the parameters.  For some reason any, that my pictures folder has been shared by my videos library so when I changed all settings by default libraries, I think it helped.  Also, I went at this time and were able to see actual images that had been left in the files about 10 or 12.  These photos are not ghosts or I could pull up to remove them, move them.  I took all the photos that I discovered and placed in a file on my desktop.  Then I never renamed file with the main file to a certain number and deleted.  Save it outside the file "remove photos / used.  Then I could delete the file.  I bounced through libraries, and he did not return.  I logged into market and he did not return.  I restarted my computer and it did not return.

  So I hope that he won't be back and I'm at the end.

  Thank you once again! It was truly appreciated.

• Obsolete and instant VMDK file
