manage snapshots of models

• Details of snapshots on models

  I can't find a way to discover the hard drives associated with a snapshot of a model.

  I can do it with a virtual machine easily enough.  I tried to use Get-model, Get-Snapshot and Get-hard drive but no avail.

  Could someone post a code showing how it's done?

  Thank you very much

  Try something like this, which should give you snapshots of model details.

  &{foreach($template in Get-Template){
      if($template.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.Snapshot){
        $fileTab = @{}
        $template.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.File | %{
          $fileTab.Add($_.Key,$_)
        }
        $hdTab = @{}
        $template.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device |      where {$_ -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualDisk]} | %{
          $hdTab.Add($_.Key,$_.DeviceInfo.Label)
        }
  
        $template.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.Snapshot | %{
          $snap = Get-View $_.Key        foreach($hd in $_.Disk){
            $hd.Chain | %{
              $_.FileKey | Select @{N="Template";E={$template.Name}},            @{N="Snapshot";E={$snap.Config.Annotation}},            @{N="Size";E={$fileTab[$_].Size}},            @{N="Harddisk";E={$hdTab[$hd.Key]}},            @{N="Path";E={$fileTab[$_].Name}}

• Snapshot Manager, snapshot merging to parent disk tree

  Hi all

  first post here, so I hope that I have the right format.

  I use vmware player v3.1 to play a virtual machine created by a work of contract on workstation v6 +.

  Unfortunately, it was created with the settings as there seems to be multiple vmdk files, and snapshot files. I want to merge snapshots to the parent disk so that I can use vdisk Manager (downloaded vdisk dev kit) to manipulate the disk. After Google search, it seems that I need something called Manager snapshots. I don't think that reader has this tool. where can I get this snapshot Manager? or is there another to do what I need?

  TIA!

  VMware-vdiskmanager - r "disc - 000001.vmdk" t 0 "consolidated.vmdk".

  use full paths - it would create a new drive that is the result of the current snapshot merged parent

• Manage snapshots with vMA

  Hello

  Is it possible in which I could manage VM snapshots using vMA? I use the "vmware-cmd" command but I don't see any option for snapshots of the LIST and return to a specific.

  I can't get the command to show me how Boolean If the virtual machine has snapshots, delete them or go back to the last.

  Thanks in advance!

  I'm afraid this is the best you can do with what the vMA builtin tools offer, unless you write custom perl scripts using the viperltoolkit (comes with the vMA).

  The vMA was always intended as a sort of CLI of ESX (i) local centralized to manage the hosts and virtual machines through commands supported (esxcfg-* / vicfg-*, esxcli etc.), which are also available on a local host ESX (i); with the advantage that it is centralized and you don't have to enable SSH on your guests every time.

  More advanced things like management of VMS (apart from basic start/stop etc.) must be done through the standard API applications as the vSphere Client (Web) (with vCenter), PowerCLI scripting or other APIs such as the viperltoolkit.

• [SOLVED] Help: Snapshot showing is not in Manager snapshots, but 0000002.vmdk always in the vicinity

  Hello community,

  Here's the problem: one of our most important servers (Windows 2008 R2, Exchange 2010) got a software update, so we used clichés, which removed right after the update went smothly.

  Now, some time later, I saw that the 000002.vmdk file is always there and always referenced when I check the properties of the virtual machine.

  So this happened not recognized for some time now, the server has 3 virtual drives, two of which have these snapshotfiles, 25GB and 50GB the other short.

  I've been digging around the internet for some time now, and so far the only solution I found was to create a new snapshot and then select "Remove all" since the Snapshot Manager. Thus engage all snapshot of the files at once.

  Fortunately, we have still some 700 GB of space on the volumes, but I'm not sure about this procedure. With snapshots of this size, there will be a delay (I think that's what happened the first time) or something else. When this server going boom, we have a problem. (of course, there is a backup, but I'm not Admin Exchange and this guy is on vacation, murphy...)

  You think it's a good idea? Any other ideas?

  Oh, our environment:

  vCenter 4.1 345043

  ESXi 4.1 582267

  Sincere greetings,

  Thomas

  Welcome to the community,

  with ESXi 4.1 in place, you should have any problems with delays, so I would go ahead and follow the snapshot create-> delete all routes.

  Two thought but since I do not know the workload. Think to delete snapshots after the opening hours (depending on the speed of storage) and be absolutely sure, there is no backup (or something else) who tries to create another snapshot when the consolidation is on!

  I would go ahead and delete the snapshots with the virtual machine. IMO it is not necessary to do with the virtual machine off.

• VM wants to drive consolidation, but no snapshots are listed in the Snapshot Manager

  After a replication failed with VEEAM, I get this on one of my virtual machines:

  "Configuration problems.

  Disks of virtual machines-building is necessary. »

  without having any snapshots indicate Manager snapshots.

  The name of the drive listed under 'change settings' does, that the disk is a snapshot, however.

  How to solve this problem properly?

  Best regards, Lars.

  The two option should work fine even when the virtual machine is running. According to the snapshot sizes, deleting it may take a while so please be patient.

  André

  PS: A thought if the Basic virtual disk is thin and put into operation, make sure that you have enough of free disk space on the data store before starting the deletion/consolidation!

• Management of VMs: Which one to use, "hosts and Clusters" or "models and virtual computers.

  Hi all

  As the subject says, when you manage virtual machines, which is better to use? Hosts and Clusters? Models and virtual computers?

  It's our facility:

  Previously we had only been using "Hosts and Clusters" manage all of our virtual machines. We organize objects of the individual within vApps and Resource Pools. We had also installation on these both parent objects permissions for who has access to what.

  Basically, we have about 12 members. Everyone has their own virtual machines that they use for training, etc. We manage centralized via AD with users and groups user access. We also have some users assigned to some hosts to maintain the level of things between the two hosts. Our license does not DRS, BTW.

  I just replaced our server vCenter in preparation for our 4.1 vSphere upgrade later this year, Yes, we are on vSphere 4.0 currently. So I went ahead and 'computers models and virtual"allowing to create user folders, gave users access and placed virtual machines of all users within these folders. (I heard recently that the use of the hosts and Clusters was semantically incorrect). Even if they have access to their folder, they cannot create a virtual machine because they cannot access a host. A computer file virtual and models can be assigned to a host?

  I didn't assign permissions to each user in order to add to each host, because I didn't want others to mess with other virtual machines. All users previously red access only, but sinc the virtual machines and templates folders are not assigned to any host, they can get in their folder to create and manage their virtual machines.

  Then, I go on this wrong all the models and virtual computers and do I just keep using our hosts and Clusters of installation above permissions groups?

  Any advice on the semantics in this would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Johnathan

  All,

  I solved my problems.

  Check book Scott Lowes ' Mastering VMware vSphere 4 "Chapter 9, he described the use of Resource Pools to the VM group under the view of the hosts & Clusters. Using the same names as the files under VMs & models and adding the same permissions, I was able to force every user to use their own folder under VMs & templates and only their Resource Pool under hosts & Clusters. So now the two views reflect the objects of each user and their access controls are correct.

  Items to remove this Lessines:

  Use Of Resource Pools under host & Clusters to manage the default host for users.

  Files under VMs & models allows you to manage virtual machines model announcement for each user (simple view).

  Thanks for the help,

  Johnathan

• Memory and snapshot management

  Where can I find detailed information on memory and snapshot management in VMware workstation?

  Memory:

  • How memory is allocated in the host PC?
    
  • If I sart a guest VM with 2 GB of RAM with 500 MB of RAM on a host PC with 3 GB of RAM, the amount of memory is allocated on the host?
    
  • What should happen if I start more guest VM and the amount of memory is the memory available on the host PC?
    

  In summary:

  • How are managed snapshot all the view host to PC file system?
    
  • What is the role and the content of the files being created whenever I take a snapshot?
    
  • What is - that supposed to happen if I delete a file containing a snapshot (file, not the snapshot)?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  • 1. how memory is allocated in the host PC?
  • 2. If I sart a guest VM with 2 GB of RAM with 500 MB of RAM on a host PC with 3 GB of RAM, the amount of memory is allocated on the host?
  • 3. what should happen if I start more guest VM and the amount of memory is the memory available on the host PC?

  • 4. How are all managed snapshot view host to PC file system?
  • 5. What is the role and content of the files being created whenever I take a snapshot?
  • 6. What is - that supposed to happen if I delete a file containing a snapshot (file, not the snapshot)?

  1. that costs on the settings in your config.ini file
  2. the host can use somethiong between 2200 MB and a few MBs - depends on config.ini
  3 the host said 'not possible' either the virtual machine starts - with extreme settings, you can allocate 5 x physical RAM available to your virtual machine

  4 and 5.

  vmsd-file = list used by the customer snapshots
  VMSN-file = settings and configuring the host when the snapshot was created
  00000*.vmdk = file does the actual data of the snapshot

  6. cannot be predicted: anything can happen: System can be will start more or healthy - so NEVER do this

  > Should I expect to use as much RAM on the host computer as the sum of memory configured all virtual machines of comments?

  again it depends on your config.ini file settings - if twist you config.ini for better performance, then the answer is YES

• Satellite Pro L100 - which hard drive is maximum for this model.

  Dear users, I have a problem with choosing appropriate new HARD drive for this model. I have no idea of this title is to the maximum with what my BIOS will manage. This model, I bought on the year 2006.
  I would be grateful for any help.

  Hello

  AFAIK this Satellite Pro L100 has been equipped with a SATA HDD controller.
  All hard drives 2.5 SATA should therefore be compatible controllers SATA HDD with no limitation.

  Beginning taken IDE controllers support only 28-bit LBA and allows only to hard disks up to 128 GB.
  Given that the ATA - 6 the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows the use of larger hard drives?

• Create component URM reports - records management.

  In the management of documents in the content of the WebCenter 11 g (11.1.1.9), created reports are generated by a version of the runtime of Oracle BI Publisher.  In order to create these reports, there are report templates that are stored during the initial set-up of records management.  These models are in rich text format (RTF). I use the default templates without any customization (Option: Reports Create-> Full-> search results results), and I am facing a few analysis errors when reporting of any University Complutense of MADRID search results.

  To using the option (create reports-> selected-> search results items) generates the report without error. Also when the research of the Complutense University of MADRID use no request (Full search without filters) the report is generated without error.

• Install powershell module on computers invited to take snapshots.

  I would like to install the module powercli on some of our guest computer running windows 2003 and 2008r2.  Run a script to take a snapshot before install us the microsoft via SCCM updates.  I was not able to find the module. I found examples of scripts.  Run us VMware ESXi 5.1.0 in a cluster.  Our VMware administrator is not familiar with the power of CLI and as you may have guessed I'm not a VMware administrator.  I belong to Netapp and also make the Microsoft updates on our servers.  I'd appreciate any help.  I want to try and keep it as simple as possible because it is a path to auto update servers.  I'd also be interested in thoughts runs the scripts from a point central would be a better solution.

  Thank you

  You can download the latest version PowerCLI package here: https://developercenter.vmware.com/web/dp/sdk/55/vsphere-powercli

  (PowerCLI 5.5 supports both versions 5.1 and earlier versions)

  You need not install anything in the GuestOS themselves unless you want to trigger the operation of snapshot within each GuestOS (which seems cumbersome).

  Install PowerCLI on your workstation or a central management server to run scripts, you point the scripts to execute on the vCenter server that manages your infrastructure. You also need the respective permissions on the side of vCenter to access the VM inventory, manage snapshots etc.

  Just a tip: be sure to not overuse clichés too and clean in a timely way thereafter.

• What file are y donde is guarda al hacer a snapshot?

  Muy buenas tal what?

  Bueno estoy haciendome UN backup of the machine than I have in vmware y también he hecho UN snapshot, me gustaria Saber este TR to guarda in otro sitio "Aside" o algun config vmware, principalmente para tenerlo location del archivo dentro is para poder descargarlo por if, in a futuro, the algo sucede has the machine

  A saludo y muchísimas gracias of photos.

  Efectivamente Jask05. Por eso cuando chequeas you VM esta deberias correct clear el snap desde el snapshot manager para avoid Los ficheros delta crezcan y tengas performance problems a medio plazo corto.

  Te transcontine UN enlace donde puedes ver a sober video como clear el con snap Manager snapshots.

• How to build the data model to the server of short?

  After the Quick Start Guide, I am still confused of short components. In the view of BI, it should be a short server integrated data model and a tool to develop and manage the data model. Which component is this role, CloverETL or something?

  We have created a series of screencast "Getting started with short Information" discovered who should provide that you answer these questions.

  You can find the full outline on our page OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/endeca/learnmore/index.html
