MokaFive orphaned objects

I'm new as a result of Mokafive, and I ran into a position where the main image store has orphaned objects. These were created when I was trying to upload an image and it failed due to the main image bank ran out of disk space. It's in our region of acceptance by the user because we are not gone into production yet.

The image store is a separate on the same domain server.

My question is does anyone know the correct method to remove these orphaned objects from the image bank?

Thank you

Hi David,

If the LivePC is not displayed in the console of MokaFive then update probably failed before register you in the database. You can verify this by checking the tables dbo.livepcs and dbo. Livepc_files.

Concerning

David

How to delete files orphans on the equallogic virtual volume

It is in reference to article kb of VMware to the address following:

https://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2108332

So what commands or GUI options are available to remove volume virtual orphaned objects?

vSphere indicates the virtual volume in a vacuum but a space used 53 GB to 1 TB. The equallogic gui shows several virtual machines with 0 Mb in size associated with the storage container. Any attempt to remove gui and ssh results in the following error 'storage container must be empty to be deleted. The storage container is also showing that it incorporates snapshots and related clones that I can't access.

Lack of hard files

Hello. I have an open with VMware support ticket: 15834814212
I was doing some maintenance systematics host so I was using vMotion to evacuate VMs. I had an error on a particular host:
Migrate the virtual machine GVMon couldn't wait for data. Error 195887167. Connection closed by remote host, probably due to delay.
Most of the information of the error indicates a problem with vMotion network, but because the other VMS migrate without problems, I decided it wasn't the cause.
I turned off the virtual machine and was able to move it to another host. However, when it turn, I got this error:
Power on machine virtual GVMon file GVvCenter_2.vmdk was not found.
Of course, when you browse the data store, this file does not exist.
Support said that the file disappeared for a few weeks, crazy that the VM continued to run. They do not have to explain why it happened. None of the orphaned objects were found and all troubleshooting points for everything to be OK. I am told the file descriptor hard must be re-created, but this would require a UUID that is not available because the file descriptor hard is not accessible. Catch 22!
Any ideas? Thank you, Zach.

Support to return the hard file and the virtual machine works as usual. Thanks, Brian, of Ireland.

I managed to retrieve the UUID of the disc of the registers of the vmware virtual machine:

-vmware - 1.log:2015 - 11-10 T 13: 24:36.609Z | VMX | I120: DISKLIB-VMFS: 'vsan://f5c26155-5e58-a555-bc8d-ecf4bbcfca10': open with success (21) size = 75161927680, hd = 0. Type 3

We have clarified that it was the correct UUID with the next and associates of exit command:

Then, we created a VM temp and copied the temp.vmdk in the directory of the virtual machine.

I edited the newly created GVvCenter_2.vmdk so that it contained the following:

# Description of the measure

RW 146800640 VMFS "vsan://f5c26155-5e58-a555-bc8d-ecf4bbcfca10."

The RW was calculated by dividing the above (75161927680) size of 512

I got the VMID from the virtual machine by running:

Vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms

Then reloaded the .vmx file by running:

Vim - cmd vmsvc/reload

If you do not call Close, the garbage collector .NET Framework will eventually clean up orphaned objects, such as connection objects you mention. But there is an exception in the case of load at the CG will be delayed to allow other higher priority activities to occur. As he falls behind, orphaned connections will be piling up until you hit the max connections or run out of memory. The answer to your question really depends on the load.

If each application is only allowed to have a connection, your code must enforce this policy. Set to max your connection pool size. That is one and only one connection is authorized by the client.

DDDAUDIT that checks if the PeopleTools tables are synchronized with the underlying SQL data tables in your database.
SYSAUDIT aims to identify orphaned objects of PeopleSoft, so I think it should be fixed with the evolution of the key to the Lang folder structure after checking it dangerous. If you want to change only with SQL, check in PSRECINDEX and database of key Records

Objects lost or orphaned front panel

Hello LabVIEW gurus!

I have a façade which contains one or more objects passing, passing off the coast to the left of the original I can't scroll on their. Attmpting to scroll through more than three or widths of four screens caused the entire session of LabVIEW to stop to answer if I kill the process through the villain Program Manager Windows XP and start over. Any way to know what is the way out there and move the missing items (if they are even necessary!) without trying to scroll there?

Michael

Hi MJ,.

What happens when you select everything (Ctrl + A) and then align all objects on their right side by using the menu on the front panel?

If it is a 'complete' object it will be still on the screen (at least should be). If it's only a label (or similar) it can stay there on the left...

VSAN - Inaccessible VM / orphans?

Hi - I have a VSAN to 3 knots - version 6.0 - cluster 3073146.
All of a sudden I came to all guests of the cluster as inaccessible and orphaned. There has not been change in this lab environment / I know.
Things I've tried so far:
With RVC and nothing else in various orders
Nothing appears in the data store browser
restart of the armed forces has no effect
esxi eagents restarting has no effect - reboot takes care of this, but I did any means until it recharges
Save and reload without effect all the vm
VSAN.clear_disks_cache - nothing
VSAN.check_state - this displays all objects and how they are inaccessible etc. - does not solve the
VSAN.purge_inaccessible_vswp_objects
I also changed the multicast on all 3 of the nodes, just for craps - nothing. I did this under Cormacs site - VSAN troubleshooting Case Study - CormacHogan.com
What I'm missing here?
Need help/help please!

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.

}

$report

Hello-

Well, once you have $report with valid data, you could get the result that you ask when using certain objects in the group, as:
```
$report | Group-Object DS | Select @{n="DatastoreName"; e={$_.Name}}, @{n="NumOrphVMDK"; e={$_.Count}}
```
However, the code that you have to do $report is a bit redundant - it gets information for all stores of data that each host sees, and puts the orphans-VMDK info in $report. So, if more than one host sees a data store, there will be more than one entry to $report for the same orphan file. We could handle this by getting only the unique orphaned items of information of $report, or, the best way: not to start with the duplicate work.

I've updated your code a bit to remove this extra work. This kick to generate some $report (should be quite a bit faster).
```

Files and orphaned files

Hello

Referring to of LucD 'orphan files and folders - Spring cleaning. "

http://www.lucd.info/2011/04/25/orphaned-files-and-folders-spring-cleaning/

Is it possible to also declare the size of the ophaned inside a folder an orphan data, I would like to get the "size" total data in an orphan file, only the "unfunded size' (length) if possible? If the total size of the data in a folder an orphan makes more difficult a list of each file/size would also work well.

I would use it purely for reporting for other people to action if the option delete is not necessary.

Thank you very much

Martin

Hello, eaalvare-

This value is in bytes, you can simply divide by "1 GB" to convert to GB. The original line
```
$row.Size = $fileResult.FileSize  ## the value in bytes
```
becomes
```
## give the value in GB, rounded to one (1) decimal point$row.Size =[Math]::Round(($fileResult.FileSize / 1GB), 1)
```
I added the [Math]: Round() call it round to one decimal place. Enjoy

Need help to remove an entry from the "orphan" ESXi4/vSphere inventory

I would apprecate a help because I seem to have managed to myself in a bit of a tie knot.
Having recently installed ESXi 4, we are moving some old servers VMWare 1.09 virtual machines to new ESXi box. I copied one of the virtual machines in the store and then added to the inventory database. When the machine refused to start then I tried to run the hardware upgrade process.
When this is not so, I have to admit that I do not and I then spent to the data store and delete the folder that contains this virtual machine instead of using the option "remove disc" in the context menu of the inventory.
So I find myself with an entry of the inventory that doesn't really exist anymore. I tried to copy the VM for exactly the same folder in the data store in the hope that this would then allow me to remove the inventory screen. However, when I right click on the object of the inventory, the options "remove disc" and "Remove from inventory" are both greyed out.
Is there another way to delete this orphan entry?
Thanks in advance.
Phil.

Hello

In ESXi, your inventory is maintained in the file /etc/vmware/hostd/vmInventory.xml

Edit the file and see if the virtual computer is listed. If this is the case, remove it. For example:
```
<ConfigRoot>
<configEntry id="0000">
<objID>16</objID>
<vmxCfgPath>/vmfs/volumes/4b630d21-8dc368cb-98ea-002219654c96/BADVM.vmx</vmxCfgPath>
</configEntry>
....

</ConfigRoot>
```
The file backup, first of all, then delete < configEntry > to < / ConfigEntry >, save the file, and then restart the management agents. Once you sign in again with the VIC, we should have the virtual machine.

Cannot delete vm orphan and inaccessible from the inventory.

An accident during a svmotion, vm orphans and tried to readd to the inventory, but not luck. I have since restored the virtual machine from a snapshot of the san and removed all the original files and it is now part of a new folder, but I can't remove 2 items in inventory that I tried from it readd after the initial failure.
I restarted the server, I rebooted mgmt-vmware and vmware-vmkauthd vpxa. -several times now.
VMware-cmd - l host does not list any reference to the virtual machine ghost. Cannot remove vclient
vitoolkit (powershell) will list the 2 vms,
get-vm-name vmname -
product name of the virtual computer object.
but I can not:
get-vm-name vmname | remove-vm -does not work because I get this error message... "Remove-VM: 2009-05-11 21:05:02 delete VM a general error has occurred: you must turn off the virtual machine and complete the migration before this operation is called. »
nothing I've tried annoys me to remove the orphan.

I worked with vmware on this issue support and ended up coming up with my own 'solution' if it's that a cluster just a fix is quite simple... I had the same symptoms you had as well...

1. place the knot in Maint Mode

2 remove the node from the Cluster

3 Add the node in the Cluster.

Presto - fixed.

Question of fact, here's my thread of origin on this issue. http://communities.VMware.com/thread/203764?TSTART=0

According to me, the only drawback is that if you have Pools of resources in place it will be those screw up on this node/vm... but is it really wasn't a question/problem for me in my case...

dealing with orphan lob

Oracle 10.2.0.4 EE on HP - UX 11.23

It seems to me have "acquired" an orphan lob:

SQL> select object_type, object_name
  2  from dba_objects
  3  where owner='OPS$STEVENSE';

OBJECT_TYPE         OBJECT_NAME
------------------- ------------------------------
LOB                 SYS_LOB0000120564C00036$$

  1  select segment_name, segment_type from dba_segments
  2* where owner='OPS$STEVENSE'
SQL> /

SEGMENT_NAME                   SEGMENT_TYPE
------------------------------ ------------------
BIN$UH6CiZpAVujgRAAaSwaUUg==$0 TABLE
BIN$hDEyxtzAG7vgRAAaSwaUUg==$0 TABLE
SYS_IL0000120564C00036$$       LOBINDEX
SYS_LOB0000120564C00036$$      LOBSEGMENT

Two tables in the recyclebin? The LOB could be orphaned of a DROP TABLE?

The segments listed in my query on dba_segments do not appear in the recyclebin:

SQL> select object_name, original_name, type from recyclebin;

SQL> /

OBJECT_NAME                    ORIGINAL_N TYPE
------------------------------ ---------- -------------------------
BIN$crNFpQ4GNb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DBSRROWN   TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4FNb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 MR_TBL     TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4ENb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DEFROLES   TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4DNb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DEFUSERS   TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4CNb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DBSRRRPT   TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4BNb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DBSRREXP   TABLE
BIN$crNFpQ4ANb3gRAAaSwaUUg==$0 DBSRRIN    TABLE

7 rows selected.

What about dba_lobs?

SQL> select table_name, segment_name
  2  from dba_lobs where owner='OPS$STEVENSE';

TABLE_NAME                     SEGMENT_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
BIN$hDEyxtzAG7vgRAAaSwaUUg==$0 SYS_LOB0000120564C00036$$

Looks like my job belongs to a table that has been abandoned, but is no longer in the Recycle Bin.

Any suggestions on how to clean it?

Hi Edstevens,

Was just curious to know if tables or its dependent objects resides on dictionary managed tablespace. If so I doubt recyclebin would come to play here.

In addition, you would like to see Drop Table does not remove the Blob LobIndex Segment [394442.1 ID]

Orphan target accounts
I need to create a custom scheduled task that will give you the list of the target accounts that are not related to users of the IOM. This means that I want a list of unrelated orphans target accounts. How can I do this?
man,

NCE means reconciliation of records of the events table.

RCD means table of records of data reconciliation.

OBJ means table of resource objects

NCE you have a column named OBJ_KEY that tells you which RO, that recon recording was crew.

Come play and customize to get what you want.
