My vmdk files not visible from vpshere but visible from ssh console

Hello

I would use my dataontap virtual appliance of Netapp communities tar file.

Their installation guide, they show just to put this on the data store tar file.

This tar file contains the following files:

DataONTAP.vmdk

DataONTAP.vmx

DataONTAP - flat hard

DataONTAP - nvram.vmdk

DataONTAP-nvram - flat hard

DataONTAP - s001.vmdk by DataONTAP - s126.vmdk (126 disk files)

DataONTAP - sim.vmdk

DataONTAP - var.vmdk

DataONTAP-var - flat hard

I put this vsphere on the data store file and extract it to ssh connection on esxi with the command "tar".

All files are now visible to PuTTY connection on esxi

1 / but when I browse datastore, I see not all vmdk files. (missing 126 files on disk)

2 / when I turn, this virtual machine, I have this error "DataONTAP - sim.vmdk file not found on /vmfs/volumes.../.

But this file exist on the path specified error.

Configuration:

ESXi 5.1, NFS datastore.

Stand-alone node (without cluster)

No vcenter

Spatial data store are free and available.

Checksum for this tar file are OK.

Thank you very much

Concerning

The files in the archive are the data files, and not the descriptor. I guess DataONTAP - sim.vmdk is the file descriptor for these files DataONTAP - sXXX.vmdk . To ensure that this is the case, please attach the DataONTAP - sim.vmdk.

If this is the case, here are the steps that should make the usable virtual machine:

  1. load the muliextent module
    vmkload_mod multiextent
  2. Rename the virtual disk file to a temporary file name
    vmkfstools EI DataONTAP - sim.vmdk DataONTAP-sim - old.vmdk
  3. clone the virtual disk in a format supported the original file name
    vmkfstools-i DataONTAP-sim - old.vmdk DataONTAP - sim.vmdk - d thin - an ide
  4. unload the module multiextent
    multiextent vmkload_mod-u

At this point, you should be able to turn on the virtual machine. If everything works as expected, you can delete all the temporary files of DataONTAP-sim-old * hard .

  • Windows 7 vmdk file not found, but it's really there...

    Had a running instance of MAX OS 10.9.2 Fusion 6 and a VM Windows 7, everything worked fine.  Had to reinstall the operating system using the procedure of restoration of Mac (alt - R during startup) to remove stuff JAMF Casper and re - take control of my machine after leaving a company. After recovery / re-install of OS X... I tried to use the original VM file and the merger could not find the vmdk files. So I restored a "Windows 7.vmwarevm" VM file Time machine. Same exact results... Fusion is up fine, recognizes the Windows 7 VM, but is not able to find the file "Windows 7.vmdk". When I try to start the virtual machine, I get the error message "could not open the file" / users/brucekreis/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized / 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7.vmdk Windows ":"the system cannot find the specified file". ".


    I can see it in a terminal window, checked that I am the owner of all files and directories in the tree, and they have at least the permissions for the owner, RW read only for all the rest... I changed the permissions to all access for files and dir (chmod-r 777 < dir >) tree and even reset the ACL (r n < dir > chmod). I can change the configuration files using the console VMware fusion library and check that it changes through the terminal window.  I tried to delete the .lck files and catch instant and re-did the file .vxm to the 7.vmdk Windows, without any change in the error message.


    I always suspect permissions, ACL, or something dealing with the recovery changed. I restored the original file .vmwarevm yet once, so you can see it of original state before I started to make changes and ran the util to collect information of technical support. I attached the zip file.

    FWIW... I tried to import the virtual machine and create a new virtual machine from this instance, but it is gray in molten selection windows, as if it is not recognized as a valid VM.

    Thank you in advance...

    You are missing two scopes binary "twoGbMaxExtentSparse', a basic disk, and the other from the first snapshot disk.

    Windows 7 - s009.vmdk

    Windows 7-000001 - s008.vmdk

    It is a workaround solution mainly for the express purpose of recovering data from the user, which is stored in the virtual hard disk, not necessarily get working 100% again.

    Copy Windows 7 - s040.vmdk for Windows 7 - s009.vmdk and Windows 7-000001 - s039.vmdk for Windows 7-000001 - s008.vmdk.

    This replaces the missing binary extensions with empty extents.  This allows VMware Fusion a string of competition and makes it look like a complete set of files hard.

    The problem is the two missing bodies, look at the size of each before and after, there will be some lack of content.  How the mission critical, can not say.

    You can try to start normally or start first with an ISO Image live and make recovering data first, and then try to run normally.  I can't say exactly what will be broken/missing except however backups clean* you don't have much choice.

    * It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring VMS in all circumstances/conditions.  Also back up Virtual Machines via Time Machine of disk/time intensive and wastes a lot of space for something that may be corrupted and worthless time to restore it.  At least I would exclude the Virtual Machines with virtual machines and Time Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed and then manually copy the VMS to another location, preferably on a different physical hard drive.  So keep the user data stored in the virtual machine saved out of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis in order to always have a backup of the current user data.  If you need to restore a properly saved by VM is not as common at least you will have a virtual working Machine and data user to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine backup of the virtual machine fails.

  • VMDK file not found - but it's there!

    I have a client who has problems with a virtual machine.

    Running Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

    VMWorkstation 6.5.1

    VM is supposed to be running Windows XP Professional, but I get the message

    "File not found: Windows XP Professional.vmdk.

    This hard file is 0KB.

    What is corrupt and how to fix it?

    See attached the results of support.vbs.

    First of all, you said it was 0 KB and existing in the screenshot is the same size and the date and time as the .vmem file, so I suspect that you copied the .vmem file and renamed him so it's really not a hard file.  You can not just arbitrarily copy and rename the files from one type to another type to solve this problem!   Even if it was a hard file, it is corrupted by the entries in the .log file and at this size, there is nothing to fix even if it was the original hard that the guest operating system has been installed has him toast now.

  • Files not Visible in folders

    I had this problem for a while.  After a reboot, I can see my files on local, network and USB drives, but I do not see the FILES.  I can walk the tree of directories, but nothing, but folders are visible.  Usually, after a restart extra (or 2), all the files reappear.  Once I get a boot where I can see my files, as long as I do not turn off the computer or restart again, the files will be always visible during this session.

    This happened once a week or more.  During periods where the files are not visible, some of my applications are able to see the files through their menus to open the file, but some may not.  I can create any application files, but I do not see the file once they are created.  I can see all the files on my computer if I connect remotely from another computer on the network.  I checked the file attributes and they are very well

    Well today after 5 reboots, I still don't see my files.  I have a feeling that this may be permanent.  I ran Norton, Superantispyware Pro, and no virus and Malware Bytes appear.  I have a feeling that there is a file system damaged somewhere, but I don't know where to look.  It is a job with a lot of software and files over 8 million on this subject, it takes about 2 days to make a clean install so I hope to avoid this.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    PS: I just noticed now that except for the "Libraries" directory where windows Explorer opens, I see the other directories.

    Hey Tom,

    Thank you very much for your PS at the bottom of your message, which actually makes this solution fast enough if all goes well.  The libraries are not real places in fact, they are just search results.  For example, the library of Documents search both your own Document folder and the folder shared documents public and combined all the files it finds in a single view, called a library.  These libraries are XML files with the definitions of the search inside of them, and they can be damaged.

    Here's how to restore:

    1. Click each library to the left of the Windows Explorer window, then delete it.  None of your files will be deleted or altered in any way.
    2. Once they are all removed, right-click libraries section and choose "restore default libraries."

    Each virtual disk on ESXi consists of two files. The data file (-flat.vmdk or - delta.vmdk) and the hard header/descriptor file. From what you write, it looks like the hard file header is missing. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002511 for details to recreate the header file. If you are not sure, please provide details of the - flat.vmdk file (exact name, size in bytes, and the question of whether she was thin or thick put in service).

  • Play a suspended virtual machine, vmdk file not found or the specified file is not a virtual disk

    Hi, I have a problem that I can't solve with the usual methods.

    My data

    • software: VMVware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130

    • Host: NB HP Compaq 2510p with 2 GB of ram

    • OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 5.12.2600

    I have a Win XP Pro SP3 computer virtual created for my work:

    • 6-5 - 7.0 VM workstation

    • RAM: 512 MB

    • Windows XP Pro operating system

    • Processors: 1

    • CDRom: Autodetect

    • Floppy: Autodetect

    • USB: present

    • Sound card: Autodetect

    • Display: Autodetect

    • HARD drive is divided into 2 GB files

    The problem lies in the HARD disk:

    • 40 GB declared

    • 0 MB recognized by the system

    My VM was functional complete. After a suspension

    • The State remains suspended

    • When I try to resume, a pop-up window will appear "file not found: IATROS VM.vmdk" go through it...

    the vmdk file exists (see my attached files).

    When I try to see the features on the parameters, appears "the specified file is not a virtual disk" and all data in the pop-up are unknown or missing.

    I tryied to use the vmware_vdiskmanager with the command vmware - vdiskmanager.exe - R 'e:\appo1\IATROS VM.vmdk' in vain also.

    I think that it is necessary to recreate a file descriptor for disc divided into 2 GB files.

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsotes/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026266

    but, if we compare the contents of the VMDK file with the discussion in the article, there seems to be no problem of format or content.

    There are suggestions to solve the problem?

    can I await your response?

  • Node in the fxml file not visible

    Hello!
    My fxml file looks like:

         </center>
    </BorderPane>
    Here, I want the value of the variable "currentSkill" in my FXMLController (static type: node), which should appear in the fxml file then :)
    My FXMLController looks like:
    public class FXMLController {
    
         @FXML
         private Node currentSkill;
    
         public FXMLSkillController() {
              // init logic class and sets the view (currentSkill, dynamically binded as TilePane) <- executed properly
         }
    
    }
    Any suggestions why the node located at currentSkill is not visible?

    Hello

    You cannot set the value of the order, it is created by the FXMLLoader and then you can use it in your controller. Setting the variable in the controller will have no effect on the visible user interface. What you want to do (I think) is just to set the child of the node 'currentSkill' based on what you want to display. You can do so at any time by simply adding the 'children' currentSkill property. If you want to do it on the creation of the view, then implement "Initializable" as follows:

    import javafx.fxml.*;
    import javafx.scene.*;
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.util.ResourceBundle;
    
    public class FXMLController implements Initializable
    {
        @FXML
        private Group currentSkill;
    
        public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle resourceBundle)
        {
            currentSkill.getChildren().add(new Label("Dynamically added label"));
        }
    }
    

    Note that you don't need new currentSkill, this has been done for you by the FXMLLoader.

    WoodyZ - is there a way I can rebuild this section?

    If you can find the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" within the structure of the backup folder Time Machine which is closest to you, you might get lucky, but really all depends on what exactly in this segment of the disc.  I use the find command in a Terminal to find this file because I do not think that you will find with Spotlight.  If you can find the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk", then in an attempt to at least be able to mount the drive with VMDKMounter in order to try to recover all the data, you can you can always replace the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" with a segment of fake or another as duplicate file "Windows 7 x 64 - s011.vmdk" and rename it file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk.  FWIW, it will really depend on exactly what was in the file "Windows 7 x 64 - s010.vmdk" about what you might be able to recover with VMDKMounter or even to start the Virtual Machine.  I actually had the results mixed in the past where only data could be retrieved and cases where all data have been recovered and in some of these cases, the Virtual Machine is bootable and in some not so it all comes down to what was in the missing segment.

    At this point you have nothing to lose and everything to win then to give a try.

I went on Canon's site and downloaded a codec RAW update.  After installation, I was able to view CR2 (RAW) files on the newer computer.  I found the update through various research, after that I reduced the problem of the relationship between Canon's Digital Photo Professional and Windows Photo Gallery.  Maybe when I was using the Acer laptop, I had already downloaded the drivers updated to the DPP and he did not know or just do not do.  I do not know.  The thing is, while searching for an answer to this question, I found others have had the same problem and need a solution.  The short answer: you need to update the codec for Canon Digital Photo Professional RAW.  Here is a link to the download.

    How the Virtual Machine has been backed up and restored?  If Time Machine then...

    It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring VMS in all circumstances/conditions.  Also back up Virtual Machines via Time Machine of disk/time intensive and wastes a lot of space for something that may be corrupted and worthless time to restore it.  At least I would exclude the Virtual Machines with virtual machines and Time Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed and then manually copy the VMS to another location, preferably on a different physical hard drive.  So keep the user data stored in the virtual machine saved out of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis in order to always have a backup of the current user data.  If you need to restore a properly saved by VM is not as common at least you will have a virtual working Machine and data user to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine backup of the virtual machine fails.  Also take a look at: best practices for backup of virtual machine (programs and data) in VMware Fusion (1013628)

    That said, if you don't have a copy of the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk" and then to try to retrieve the data from the user, you can try the following:

    Download then unzip it (double-click on) the joint "Windows_7 - f004.vmdk.zip" file that contains the file "Windows 7 - f004.vmdk ' an empty logical binary measure that has been created on the metric of the existing drive and add to the Package of the Virtual Machine.  This should allow the VHD to be considered as a virtual hard drive, assuming that there is no damage to the extent of the binary left headers.  Take a look on: work with Virtual Machine packages

    At this point, that the VHD has the scope necessary to show as a full disk, assuming that it is not corrupt the header in other binary extensions and can now attempt to access for the recovery of user data.

    There are several ways to try to retrieve user data.  The easy, although not necessarily work properly according to what now lack us due to replace the missing binary extensions with a logical empty measure, is trying to start the VM normally.  If the virtual machine starts up on the desk and VMware Tools load properly you should be able to copy your data to user off on a USB or slip and fall on the side of Mac or if you have a configured VMware folder then copy the files through it.

    Other methods involve starting the Virtual Machine with a Live OS ISO Image and copy files from a USB key or temporarily assemble the VHD to another Virtual Machine work.

    With the right tools installed the virtual hard disk could also be mounted as another accessible Volume through Finder.
