Moving thin model w / Clones related

We have 6 thin gold models put in service and have filled the data store that they are on. Long story how it happened. The process that is used is a user of Clones in the workspace using a linked clone and then deploys the machine from there.

I need to spread thin between other data warehouses provisioned templates so that it does not happen in the future but I understand that if I use the action to consolidate to move one of these models, it will affect all the related clones. Is this correct?

If so is there another way to move a thin model to a new data store and do not break the linked clones?

The only other option is to make a copy\clone of the model and moving it, but the problem with that is that it converts the Thin Thick model as we use LM 4.0.2. So if I cloned the model and it converted to thickness is there a way to get Thin again?


Then I could take these new thin models and spread them out and those that can be used as the 'old' is not deployed.

Thanks for reading so far and suggestions.

Option 1: Move an existing model and all the virtual machines:

SSMove moving (cut and paste) a clone tied together tree between data warehouses.  However, I would like to you to be on Lab Manager 4.0.4 (final version), as it has a few minor improvements to the tool.

You must also cancel the deployment of all the virtual machines that are related to this.

Option 2: move the template only via a full consolidation.

This movement of the model only.  The model gets consolidated to the new data store.  The new virtual machines configured from the model will go to the new data store where the vmdk.

The previous VMs will always exist and work.  As they are removed, the space will be released on the previous drive.  If all the vmdk related to the orignial tree is removed, then the entire tree will be cleaned.

  • How to increase the size of the c: drive in image master clone related?

    I have a pool of clone related with an image master.  drive c: must be increased because of all of the updates on the master VM.  But when I turned off the master VM, it is grayed out and cannot be changed.  I have a number of clichés associated with the master image as well.  I read that I have to remove or delete all the snapshots before I can increase the size, but then does that mean that I lose all my changes since the first base image?

    Thanks the community for comment.

    Removal of the snapshots in snapshot Manager means in fact that you're merging deltas in the snapshots in the basic disk, i.e. preserve the current state. Assuming that it is a floating pool and only the latest snapshot is used for clones, it should work to remove snapshots, resize the disk/partition and recompose the pools of a newly created snapshot when you completed the master update.

  • Clones related with thinapp application not installed

    I have a pool configuration of clone bound to an entire division and I have several thinapps, but in this pool we will say that I have two computer scientists who need Windows 7 RSAT tools installed, which I did not have much luck thinapp'ing. This isn't "the importance app, the problem is that when you want to update your master windows and sauté a recomposition, all thinapps of course, but everything you have installed manually disappeared."

    I'm trying to use the clones related for obvious reasons of storage, but I'm starting to think unless you can thinapp related applications that will be installed on these machines there is no way that you can use clones... am I missing something here? Of course, I don't want to reinstall RSAT after every recompose. Or even worse if there is another application that has been installed on 50 machines, circulating to everyone after a recompose to reinstall would be very laborious.

    I would like to make this user a pool specialist.

  • MS of authorisation models and Clones

    We are about to have our annual 'meet' with Microsoft true licenses. The question that arises is to know if the licenses are counted for VMS that are models, clones, or simply not under tension. I think that M$ will say that all servers must be licensed reqardless if power is applied or if they are models. That's a good point being triggered if these models or clones are very little why we would have to pay for a full license used. Of course if we had data center per server licenses (process) that I keep not, however, we company licening since we have not enough VM server to justify datacenter license. Someone at - it been down this road before?

    Mike

    > All the products in the Microsoft Servers licensing models are approved by the running instance.

    Models so and turned power off clones do not need separate licenses.

  • Lose a provisioning when moving from model space to the workspace configuration

    Hi all -

    I use LM 4.0.1 with ESX 4.0.  We have a huge amoutn of machines in our test environment, so we aret area using thin provisioned disks if ever possible, my question is this:

    When I create the model of the virtual machine, it create hard drive configured as thin.  I am able to update the machine, install the VMware tool and publish it.  When I create a new configuration and add this model, it seems to blow the drive at full capacity.  I tried the two linked clone and full options available by machine when you create a configuration, but he always blows my virtual disk of 60 GB at full size on the image into the workspace.

    Am I missing a step very important, or is - not pssoible images thin provisioned used in the way I talk.  We cannot support our image storage needs be supplied thickness, so I'm really looking for a solution to this problem.  Thank you.

    If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you.

    There are full clone and restrictions for the use of thin disks, see the release notes for known issues http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager401.html#thindiskissues ... so a full clone will convert indeed a "thin" disc in a disc 'thick' to the clone target.

    Linked clones have discs delta below. As written record increase, increase the changes between the basic disk and the linked clone and these changes are what go in delta drive more. LM can show the linked as 'thicker', disk clone since the delta disc is no longer considered 'thin '. However, they start small, about 16MB. If you say that you get a full 60 GB disk when you bind the clone, something is wrong since LM should never do that. Really check if shows the linked clone disk size 60 GB on the data store?

  • model vs clone

    Hi all, I read the Sysadmin Guide. I do not understand the difference between the model and the clone.

    Looks very similar, but the doc said that if it's something else.

    What is the difference and can pls give example on when to use clone, when to use the model.

    Thank you.

    Clone is a copy of a VM (also running) with or without customization.

    The model is a virtual machine that you cannot turn on (unless you convert to a virtual machine). A deployment of the model is just a "clone" of the conversion to a virtual machine and a model.

    Are quite similar, the big difference is that this model cannot be turned on.

    And can be stored in compact format (but now also VM can be in the form of thin).

  • consumed disk space to take resources for a deployment of a clone-related

    Hi guys,.

    I understand, after dploying a related clone, she shares a FEPs with its source of creating a disk of delta model, he also reserved a space for the extraction of resources.

    I am interested to know how much space gets cosnsumed by a related clone, after having deployed a clone of source model?

    Kind regards

  • Model e clone

    Good afternoon colegas,

    Saber Gostaria a difference between o clone of uma VM e o model dela.

    Desde ja Agradea§o a bonitos,.

    Marcello Rogério.

    Leave me dar um exemplo better. Voce precisara configurar cerca 100 maquinas tolls com um conjunto basico of software, incluindo system operational. Model e a Solução, model o e originalmente uma VM than passou pelo instalacao do sistema operational processo e todos os outros softwares as voce quer. Then, sempre than any pedido of nova mpaquina specific ter o mesmo softwares, voce ja tera um conjunto model espeficio e pronto para fazer o waiting to deploy.
    Usually essa imagem model vai acordo com a x box da empresa (Ex: commercial, it, HR) e etc, that use software different each other back.

    Em uma clonagem vamos supor HA trabalho em andamento e, em seguida, voce tem 2 caminhos a tomar a daqui go. Como você precisa driver a versão beta e of construction but estavel. Voce pode clonar seu VM, what reune todos os prerequesitos do aplicativo voce esta planejando para testar e then you can use uma Máquina virtual para cada beta testes estavel e.

    Model O e customizavel e clone nao e, o clone e a copia identica uma VM that voce pode estar making clone um para testar any coisa e voce has duas pessoas no mesmo com tests maquinas iguais.

  • model of clone on vcenter

    When I install Windows Server 2003 on esxi hosts 5, and I installed vmware tools on it. Then I put some relevant files such as sysprep to the directory "c:\Documents and settings\all users\application data\sysprep\srv2003". Through the platform of controllers vcenter, I clone this virtual machine to the model. But when I choose to deploy new virtual machine model that I create already before, I found the custom operation was not available for the new virtual machine. I double checked all the relevant preferences, I found he was not yet available at last. I want to know why I did not succussfully.

    The Sysprep files must be extracted to the vCenter Server

    In your case, it should be "C:\ProgramData\VMware\" (as you W2K8 R2 as your vCenter)

  • The model deployment - VM related to the data store model

    I have templates create in a data store, call datastor0 on a San in LUN0. I'm deployment of virtual machines in datastore1 in LUN1. The problem:

    • After the deployment of a virtual machine at datastore1, the summary of VM page datastore0 and datastore1 in the 'resources' tab.
    • If I go to view the data warehouse, the virtual computers tab, I can see that the VM listed in datastore0 and datastore1.
    • If I browse the data warehouses, the computer virtual folder is located in datastore1.
    • I'm not change hardware or anything else during or after deployment.

    I'm guessing there is a file in the model with information about the deployed virtual computer that it throws out. I don't see the problem when the dpeloying to datastore0, but the problem could still be there, with the virtual machine is somehow related to the model.

    I know that I have een that high in the past in other threads, but I think as those relating to make changes during the deployment. I'm not familiar with the editing of the VM reviewing files, it's been long that I had, so any ideas on the problem, what are the files that I should look through diagnosis and how I finished with this in the first place?

    The environment is:

    vCenter 4.1 Build 491557

    ESXi 4.1 Build 502767

    I opened a case with the help, but I won't hear from them before some time tomorrow and jump to get these deployed tonight.

    Thank you

  • What about clones related if I delete the VM related to?

    I need to free up some space in my data store (there is only 135 GB for this proof of concept). I need to remove the base and keep the clones or shrink the base. I'm not sure that it is still possible because the setting is gray out.

    Thank you.

    The clones are related to the replica, so if you remove the replica, they will no longer work.   Is there a way you can reduce the number of clones or possibly balance on another data store?

  • can we create specific diagrams of logic model for the relational model?

    Hi-

    I created several diagrams of relational model. I want to create the logical data model diagram for each of the relational model.
    Is it possible to do?

    Currently, it is always associated with a logical data model diagram. When I create LD for the 2nd, it is always update the same diagram.
    Please let me know.

    Hello

    Yes you can have the diagram in the logic model. Check there titled "Subview as" at the top right of dialogue engineering - select it and subview will be created in the logic model corresponding to the main schema to your relational model.

    Is there a way to make the target moving uniformly with a single constent speed from end to end?

    The default easing you describe is using the Sine easer.

    You can give the effect an easer linear to get the behavior you want.
