• 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.

  Hej Rickard

  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...

• 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

• Old clichés auto removal

  We have Veeam do backups of VMS, which generates snapshots of volume on our SAN. The question is, even if 'delete the oldest snapshot' is checked in the instant policy volume and "borrow space according to needs" is not checked, finally instant space fills up and the volume is offline.

  Does anyone know a solution to this? I think that "delete the oldest snapshot" would solve this problem, but it doesn't.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I remember well, it's that VEEAM operates not instant material EQL.  So you can disable the HIT. / ME driver for MS Volume Shadow Service.

  The command is "" eqlvss / unregister "now a snapshot will not be created on the SAN."

  I don't know why remove it the oldest is not honored.  To do this, I would suggest opening a case of pension, so they can take a look at the diagnosis.

  To reactivate the H/W snapshots, it's "eqlvss /register" you can add these commands to the VEEAM backup if you also use ASM to create snapshots.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• new time machine snapshots copied to the old directory of the machine not recognized

  I had a time Capsule 2 TB which showered, and I started a new backup (a USB key) by mode Apple drive. It took me a while to return to deal with the old clichés left on my Time Capsule. I found nothing specific online to tell me how to deal with this, so I made a few decisions naïve. I've disabled the Time Machine, renamed my new store backup and copied over the old store backup on the new backup drive time Capsule. Then in a Terminal on the command line, I mvhad snapshot directories in the newly copied backup of the old backup store store renamed folder. NOTE: On this site, I learned about a Time Machine of assistance called bypasscommand, and I needed to use it to move the Flash files in the command line:

  $ sudo mv 2016-09-17-211302 /System/Library/Extensions/TMSafetyNet.kext/Contents/Helpers/bypass.

  .. /.. /Backups.BackupDB/MyMachine /

  At this point, I thought: well, now, I have all my old and new pictures in the active backup store on the local USB drive. Then I turned on the Time Machine, and the first backup failed:

  "An error occurred during the file copying. The problem may be temporary. If the problem persists, use disk utility to repair your backup disk. »

  Then I noticed that Finder shows only most original snapshots while in the Terminal, I see all snapshots using the ls command. All snapshots have the same names in fashion and the owner/group permissions. So, why don't Finder shows all snapshots and why is Time Machine unhappy?

  Given that I can't modify my own * post, here are the corrections and updates of the original:

• Can / should you store old pictures in a different location or at all?

  My question is whether I can or must store the old clichés? And if so I must keep up with the latest snapshot or can they be stored in a different location?

  Snapshots in VMware products are used as strings, i.e. every snapshot/virtual drive is in use. No snapshots move towards others would break the chain of snapshot and make the unusable virtual computer. Please take a look at for example VMware KB: understand the clichés of the virtual machine in VMware ESXi and ESX for more details on the functioning of the snapshots.

• VM still displays the old network

  Hello

  Some time ago, we migrated our VMs to the distributed switches. Now, I wanted to clean it before the update of vSphere and found that some virtual machines should still be connected to the old network "VM". Check the machines I found the same thing on all of them. Each machine has a vNIC connected switch distribution. Still in the summary shows 2 connections to 'VM Network' and the dvSwitch.

  I tried to change the Group of ports, but as soon as I select something other than "VM Network" it show 2 connections.

  In the vmx file, there is no reference to 'VM Network', opt-out and re-registration of the machine did not help either.

  Any idea what can be done?

  Thank you

  Christian

  I found the solution.

  It was because the snapshot which were for this virtual machine that requires the old network connection. Once I removed the old clichés that the former extra network has also disappeared.

• Once more clichés...

  Hello

  I was watching the lately http://www.virtu-al.net/2009/06/22/powercli-snapreminder/ the most famous script on the net

  My only question (point where I glued) is the last part of this script:

  Function SnapMail ($Mailto, $snapshot)
  {
  $msg = new-object Net.Mail.MailMessage
  $smtp = new-object Net.Mail.SmtpClient ($smtpServer)
  $msg. From = $MailFrom
  $msg. To.Add ($Mailto)

  $msg. Object = "old cliché Reminder!

  "$MailText = @".
  It is a reminder that you have an active snapshot on $($snapshot.) VM) that was taken: $($snapshot.) Created).

  Created by: $($(Find-utilisateur $SnapshotInfo.Creator).) Properties.Name)
  E-mail: $($(Find-utilisateur $SnapshotInfo.Creator).) Properties.mail)

  Name: $($snapshot.) Name)
  Description: $($snapshot.) Description)
  Snapshot size: $([math]:: Round ($snapshot.)) SizeMB)) MB
  "@
  
  $msg. Body = $MailText
  $smtp. Send ($MSG)
  }

  SE connect-VIServer $VISRV

  foreach ($snap in (Get - VM |)) Get-Snapshot | Where {$_.} Created - lt ((Get-Date).) {(({AddMinutes(-30))}))}
  
  $SnapshotInfo = get-SnapshotExtra $snap
  $mailto = ([email protected])
  SnapMail $mailto $SnapshotInfo
  }

  That gives me exactly what I need in my business apart Elijah sends an email by snapshot

  Would it not be possible to separate the $MailText for all snapshots and send an email? something like:

  $SnapshotInfo = get - VM | Get-Snapshot | where {$_.} Name.Length - gt 0 - and $_. Created - lt ((Get-Date).) AddMinutes(-30))} | Select the virtual machine, name, Description, created. Kind created

  Where you can get all the details sorted (but I need the AD user as well as his e-mail information)

  Probably it's just a small change but unfortunately out of reach of my imagination at this stage

  Should be, the script adds a property named creator, to the SnapshotImpl object.

  You run this in a GUI?

  Can you put a breakpoint on this line and check what's in $report and do a $report | GM to see what are properties?

• RT runs interactively but it won't compile (error 1)

  Hello

  I'm working on a project that is having a strange question compile for a cRIO.  I inherited code that works interactively but will not compile so that it can be loaded.  The error I get is as follows:

  Error 1 ganglion invoke in AB_RTEXE.lvclass:Build.vi-> AB_Engine_Build.vi-> AB_Build_Invoke.vi-> AB_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
  
  Possible reasons:
  LabVIEW:  an input parameter is not valid. For example if the input is a path, the path can contain a character not allowed by the operating system such as? or @.
  
  =========================
  
  NOR-488:  command requires GPIB controller charge controller.
  Name of the method: Build: Application

  I have also an old cliché of the project who is able to compile, but something else is to prevent to work.  I was unable to find any significant difference in the top-level VI RT.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to why I get this error?

  News: LabVIEW 2010 SP1, cRIO-9024

  I think I found the problem.  I found this document and looked in the proposed solutions.  So, I was able to compile the RT application once I set the name of the executable file.  Unfortunately, he seems to have been a Virgin (who is obviously not a valid file name).

  I still have to actually test run the executable compiled, but I think that the question I posted everything is resolved.

  Thank you for the time you took to try to help me.

• Cannot make a backup of the computer to reformat the external hard drive (error 0 x 80780029)

  Hello!
  I recently had to reformat (disk error problem) backup my drive (USB) hard external on which I did a complete PC. After reformatting the drive, I tried to make a new PC full to the top on it wihtout success because the old cliché could not be read ("reading of the volume shadow copy on source has no" error code 0 x 80780029), apparently, the backup and Restore Center kept in memory the old backup I did on my HDD reformat and seeks to go further. How can I get around this to remove the trace of old shadow copy and/or the complete PC Backup?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help

  Richard

  Hi Kevin!

  No indication of you... Should you the CBS.log?
  Still, I have the problem with the backup center and looking for an old backup restore complete PC that no longer exists (reformat the drive) and therefore prevent me to make a new complete PC on the USB disk reformat bacup.

  Thanks again for your help!

• Create a rule / older instant alarm

  Hello

  I am creating a rule / alarm, this updated fire for snapshots when have more than X days.

  I use the topology: VMWareSnapshot.

  Using an adaptation of the function to create the older snapshot report, I tried to create the rule.

  creationSnapshot = scope.creationTime.getTime ();

  now = new Date () .getTime ();

  diffHours = (now - creationSnapshot) / 3600000;

  diffDays = diffHours 24;

  (diffDays > = registry ("VMW:Old.) Snapshot.Warning'));

  When I test the condition in the script console, and in the rule condition, it works fine, but when the rule never fired.

  I forgot something?

  Thanks for any help or ideas

• QoS on each device in the path network?

  Hello

  Apologies, as I'm new to QoS, but it's something I can't find a clear answer too,

  I understand the notion of quality of service on the routers, it's usually the field I see QoS easally passing in the form of WAN links tend to be 10 MB/20 MB etc., so we need to prioritize the traffic as these links can congested bandwidth.

  I understand the use of the class / political cards to identify traffic and bandwidth priority, and then apply the service policy to the output interface on the interface that connects to the WAN link.

  We need quality of service on the local network that connects to the Wan? Even switches layer 2? ... is by port, how to identify traffic at the switch level and give priority to it?

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Poster

  I'm not a supporter of QoS from end to end, just because you can, either that's what suggests '' the book. ''  There is a cost for their maintenance and QoS implementations, and if done correctly, QoS can degrade service.

  Where you should have QoS is on any interface where forms of congestion it is unfavourable to of the application serve the needs and which may be updated by QoS.  (Sometimes the 'right' solution is more bandwidth, although often more bandwidth is achieved when the quality of service could be a more optimal).

  Often, there are undesirable congestion on WAN interfaces, because as you note, they provide less bandwidth LAN interfaces.  (Also WAN bandwidth is also often more expensive to provide than the LAN bandwidth).

  Placing the QoS on the interfaces that don't really need, it's a bit like buying insurance.  It adds to your "cost", but offers "protection" for the unexpected.  Once again, as if you must buy insurance, for which coverage and cost, QoS implementations should also take into account coverage and expected benefit vs cost.

  So...

  We need quality of service on the local network that connects to the Wan?

  Maybe, maybe not, but also again, often if you do not need effective QoS, LAN to WAN is a common place.

  Even switches layer 2?

  Another maybe, maybe not.

  ... is by port, how to identify traffic at the switch level and give priority to it?

  In fact how depends on the device.

  Often, you have a policy of penetration which examines the traffic, and based on what it "sees" could allow the self marked traffic to go markedly or brand/note traffic according to the needs.

  Device can have the exit policy that determines how the traffic is processed, including priorities, when there is congestion.

  The thing to understand about QoS is to respond to the needs of your traffic, made service by managing the queuing traffic and lozenges.

  QoS often becomes a point of discussion when dealing with VoIP.  However, not all needs of VoIP QoS in all cases and even cases such as data transfers in bulk, could be improved in QoS.

  Unfortunately, QoS corresponds with the old cliché, "can't see the forest for the trees".  Most hardware QoS explains how to treat the 'trees', but does not explain how the forest should be managed.
