• Cannot remove the old clichés

  Hello

  When I run that VMware vSphere Health Check script I ve found a few old snapsshots

  (some more than 200days). We use vSphere 5.0.0 and NetApp Virtual Storage Console 2.1.2

  and the retention time to keep the old snapshot is 5 days on the main site. The old cliché

  I want to delete probably happened to a kind of test. Now I want to remove them,

  who didn t succeed. I can find the data warehouses and folders with snapshots in. But

  When I try to delete the folder it asks if ' If WMare sharing base disks content in this file, .

  this folder deletaing peut preventable by vaccination other VMto works correctly"." Unfortunately it

  seems to be the case because I get the following error message when I try to delete the folder.

  

  How to remove these old snapshot? I can´t see in snapshots vSphere Manager.

  I can´t see any message like "Snapshot consolidate necessary" in the Summary tab

  OK, that's when vCenter realizes that there is a gap between the snapshot information (file *.vmsd) and snapshots of actualt use (delta - xxxx.vmdk).

  You have no option to remove/fix the snapshot of the side Netapp?

• Afraid to remove the old clichés.  Disaster always occurs.

  I have several customers who have old clichés associated with them that are very old.  Delta disks are larger than the original vmdk at this point for some of them.

  I got scared to remove these pictures because when I did in the past, the instant deletion/merging process will ultimately fail without any apparent failure recovery method.  The disks would become corrupted and I would have to restore data from a backup.  I really don't want to be forced to do it again because it's a huge pain to get the VM running and upward, and I had rather not take a backup VCB image unrelated reasons.

  Is there a sure way to achieve this?  Should I just clone these machines on a new?  Will who basically shoot the deltas in a new vmdk and forget (and not care) that never existed in the original snapshots?  Run the same risk of these vmdk is corrupted?

  Thanks for any idea.

  Usually, I just used converter to achieve a direct P2V and kept the "exemplary" offline, just in case.  I do know that if a direct clone will be different, I've not played with it too.

  I hate the removals of large snapshot because I'm really looking forward and once it times out I continue to watch the data store in the hope of seeing the files disappear.    I know how you feel...

• old clichés

  Is there any official document vmware dealing with impact do not remove the old clichés of virtual machines - i.e. the performance problems they can cause on the virtual machine itself?

  Our admin doesn't see these as a risk at all - but I read old clichés can affect the performance of the virtual machine - but I can't seem to locate any official document where VMware discuss potential issues do not remove the old clichés. To demonstrate this is not not an old wives tale.

  You are absolutely right... This does affect not only the virtual machine, but also the back-end storage matrix which could affect the other VM too.

  • An excessive number of files delta in a string (caused by a too many snapshots) or large delta may cause a decrease in VM and host performance.

  • Snapshots can adversely affect the performance of a virtual machine. Performance is based on how long the snapshot tree or capture instant is in place, the depth of the tree, and how the virtual machine and the guest operating system have changed since the time took you the snapshot. Also, you may see a delay in the amount of time it takes the virtual machine to turn it on. Do not run the production of virtual machines of shots on a permanent basis.

• Removal of old clichés of Snapshot Manager

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my backup solution (GhettoVCB as it is free and works very well), in that he failed to halfway through one day, he left little a snapshot in the local data store that I see in the Snapshot Manager. The backup fails by saying that a snapshot exists. I created a new snapshot and thought this might get around it, but it didn't.

  I want to know is I can delete the snapshot/s in the Snapshot Manager and does not affect the virtual machine? Should I choose 'Delete' on the snapshot I think is causing the problem (the former) or delete both an old and new? I saw so many forums saying do not use "remove all" that you run out of space. so should I just delete one at a time? Hope it makes sense.

  Basically, I want to return to a State of no snapshots and the rear space and I hope that my backup working again.

  See the image below:

  Thank you

  

  In this case, I see no problem with the deletion of snapshots. Way the easiest is to open the Snapshot Manager and click on the button 'Clear all', which will merge all snapshots in their basic disks. Because snapshots are very small it should take only a few minutes. This can be done while the virtual machine is running.

• full disk and vm stops how to remove the old clichés in safe mode?

  Hello

  I have a workstation dell t1500 with 16 GB, 500 GB hard drive and latest version of vmware workstation 7 and me two successfully have converted old desktop pc... everything works very well for more than 40 days, but the disk is full, because when you set up the vm 2, I put autoprotect with files instead of single file splitted.

  So now I can't use all the vm 2 because vmware workstation 7 show me a message that the disc is full and need more space to works.

  Can someone lead me step by step how to free space on the disk in a safe mode not to lose my vm 2?

  here to set you can find the following files for each virtual machine (one is called sw1 and the other is called tekno1)

  • the vmx file
    
  • the vmsd file
    
  • all vmware*.log files
    
  • a list of files in the folder of the virtual machine on the screen a picture
    

  Great, looks like Autoprotect just to add another capture instant sw1 - 000002.vmdk.

  I think that the best and the way the safest is to make cloning.

  Here are the steps: (I guess the external drive drive letter X :)

  • Stop the virtual machine
  • Save all files, unless already done
  • Take a look at sw1.vmx to see what vmdk is currently connected to the virtual machine (most likely now is sw1 - 000002.vmdk)
  • run: md X:\sw1-clone
  • run: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - vdiskmanager.exe «r - t 0 X:\sw1-clone\sw1.vmdk C:\vm\sw1\sw1-000002.vmdk»»
  • If successful, remove all the files all the c:\vm\sw1 except for sw1.vmx, sw1.vmxf, and nvram
  • run: copy X:\sw1-clone\sw1.vmdk c:\vm\sw1
  • Edit the sw1.vmx file and replace sw1 - 000002.vmdk by sw1.vmdk

• Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

  I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

  The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

  I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

  We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

  It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

  Current snapshots:

  

  Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

  

  Actual files on the data store 4

  

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

  With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

  Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.

• Old, inaccessible synchronization device remove the account.

  Hello, I'm a bit of a handyman and a tech junkie. However, I still find sync is a very useful and practical and applied it to all of my devices (tablets, phone, multiple computers). Because of my ongoing quest to improve things, however, I am frequently change OS' are and uninstall apps/reorder records on many of these devices, so I find myself often need to reinstall firefox (and thus re-synchronization).

  The only problem here is that sync recognizes each new iteration as its own separate device, even though a large majority of them cease to exist entirely and are gone forever. What makes my "other devices tabs" page a huge pain to access, as most device names are the same and always have many pages active in them.

  How would I go about the removal of these old accounts of my sync account? Change my password is not good at all, because given that the devices cannot access the server, more they are always present in my database and therefore are always boring. Any help is appreciated!

  Here are two photos of the problem. As you can see, there are many features apparent duplicate:

  "Then why when I go to tools/options/sync my old username still appears?

  It seems that you have disconnected the old Firefox Sync and re - he added. The mechanism of the old Firefox sync will run happily in Firefox 30 to now but if you unplug / disconnect etc... and re-connect/log in you will only have the possibility of using the Firefox new synchronization mechanism.

  This is exactly how I found him anyway.

  "Why not deleting accounts deletes all old appliances?

  If you have 'removed' account it will do. It seems that your Firefox on your computer is always connected to the old Firefox Sync, you said that you also went to the old Site and deleted the account, so I don't see how that's possible.

  «More importantly, if we delete all start synchronization then starts by all the settings, bookmarks, etc. on the device, we create a new account with so that it is not lost»

  Fix. That's exactly how it works. You may lose data synchronized on your 'other' devices, but in my case that's what I wanted to do because they contained dead devices.

  I wanted to take all the data sync from my PC as base level again.

  "and besides--last question - how other devices start to synchronize - there a sign on with the new account?

  Fix. If we are talking about Firefox Mobile go in the settings of Firefox and you will see an option of Firefox Sync. To be sure, uninstall Firefox Mobile (Android/iOS etc...), and reinstall. Then connect on Firefox Sync on them again.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.

• Haunted by old heels - how to remove?

  I recently imported an old dog of a site (several generations of non-developers to maintain without saving anything) in CS4 so I could put yet another set of changes in the game.  CS4 noticed the fingerprints of Contribute and asked for compatibility (I said go ahead), and things seemed ok.

  Now I find a strange behavior...

  One of them sent running me after some very old code that generates a noticeable lag that causes the page loaded a login in the scenes of a site I've never heard, apparently related to NETSCAPE.  I think it is a monitoring tool we used to use it is no longer responds to our welcomes the conclusion (where offset) code appears in gray at the bottom my code view, and Navigator tells me that it is a model and then fails to locate (I looked in the directories referred to in both my new local and remote copy and it really isn't there) so how it gets the code in game, and how do I get rid of it gracefully?

  I am currently ripping it using a more stupid text editor, but I worry about what I might be breaking as I do...

  If you do not use at all, choose Edit > templates > detach the model.
