POS upgrade again create a snapshot

I am currently trying to improve our 5.5.5.180 to 5.8 VDP device. I followed the guide of upgrade and created the snapshot required, but when I try to start the upgrade I get always the same message telling me to create a snapshot first. I also tried the upgrade to 5.5.6 but with the same result. If anyone has had this problem or know a solution?

It turns out the password user VDP become invalid for some reason, but I certainly did not change. Apparently just VDP didn't see the snapshot because it could not connect to the Server vCenter. After you set a new password and reconfiguration WTP runs the upgrade now.

  • Creating hidden snapshots?

    Hello

    My eq is PS6210E model 70-0425. A cluster of hyper-v (4 guests) connects via iSCSI.

    The SAN, I configured 4 instant and for replacement if necessary.

    However, I see a lot more snapshots for each volume this empty space volume... and I see that are requested by the hyper-v via the VSS hardware provider hosts. So, I opened the Auto Snapshot Manager on each host, but there is NO timetable. I also took a quick glance in the Task Scheduler... but no jobs are configured.

    Where can I look to find this snapshot planning 'ghost '?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    An application calls the Volume Shadow Service. (VSS).  Are you running the DPM?   VEEAM?  ASM allows you to create a snapshot, he put a comment in the description of the snapshot, are there comments on these snapshots 'ghost '?

  • Reasons for SLOW create / delete snapshots

    Hello

    We run 5.1 ESXi hosts in a cluster.

    We have added a number of virtual machines to the cluster, and so the use of the memory of each ESXi host is about 60%.  Network administrator also performs a network change lately (he said it shouldn't affect VMWare).

    However, it takes much more time for us to create / delete snapshot.  Wonder if it may be due to network problem OR just we are running out of memory in ESXi hosts / SAN Performance?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Hello

    Before we dive more deep, the main issue here - what is was exactly the scope of this network change? It seems that something has changed on the network affecting the connection between ESXi host & network storage interfaces shared. Also, you must ensure that change did not affect VAAI availability on your space of storage as well as snapshots are handled directly on the drive bays. A delta disc is created, the basic disk is read-only and all writes are then carried out on delta drive. The snapshot delete commits these changes. But of course, you should check your SAN performance if it does not hit the bottleneck by chance (CPU, memory, input/output).

    If you get the information on what has changed, we can help you further.

    Thank you

    Mike

    Out of curiosity. Are two snapshots created even when you create the snapshot manually?

    With backup applications, this behavior is not uncommon. The first snapshot is created for the virtual machine write them changed data, while the current is/instant backup, and the second snapshot is created by the backup software to attach the virtual disk basic to the host/proxy backup as "independent - not persistent. Once the virtual disk is disconnected from the proxy the second snapshot will be discarded and then the first snapshot will be validated for the basic disk.

    CBT information should not be reset somehow, but updated as changed during the backup data.

    Any help is appreciated. Thank you

    Your problem is with VSS, it is probably the lack of space, to seek solutions and similar problems.

    Errors that you see are expected, we need a full newspaper bundle for investigation and don't warry on GPT disks, they are supported with converter 5 +.

  • POS upgrade: connect iso to power on?

    I was wondering if iso POS upgrade must be configured in the settings of the virtual machine to connect to the power or just connected. Mentioned upgrade guide this could take a few hours to upgrade, but I suppose that could also involve a few reboots of comments and wondering just if the iso upgrade needed to be connected throughout the upgrade process or decompression that takes about 2 GB of extra storage means iso itself does not have to be connected and the upgrade should continue if the iso is disconnects due to reboots

    You only connect once the ISO Image. After the update, you must restart the device manually. Also it is not necessary to connect the ISO with the option "sign in to turn on.

  • How to create parallel snapshots

    Hello

    I came across another post here that had this attached image:

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-1754479-14190/450-367/snap.jpg

    I have too much work, but for the life of me I can't understand how we'll get the parallel clones. Could someone please advise. (Also - is an easy way to have a base image / installation, and then have two virtually separate comptuers that use the basic installation, thus saving disk space, etc.) ?

    Thanks and greetings

    Adam.

    You can do this by creating a snapshot of the current state (I recommend with the virtual machine off), and then select the snapshot/State where you want to create a fork and click the button "go to."

    With this approach you can not run multiple instances of the virtual machine at the same time because it's still a virtual machine. In order to run multiple instances of a base image, use the linked clone option (VM-> manage-> Clone).

  • Failed to create a snapshot with 2 TB of virtual disk?

    I have a virtual file server with a 2 TB virtual disk (vmdk).  When I try to create a snapshot of the system (to save), I get the following error:

    < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >.

    The data store located on the file server is formatted with 5.54 VMFS with size of 1 MB.  It's a data store of 12 TB with about 6 TB free.

    That is right.  If you want to take a snapshot, then the maximum size is GB 2032.   And this is the case even if thin you load the disc.

    Hi Marius1,

    ESXi free edition is limited to read only RCLI. That sounds like the problem.

    If you have access to the console, you can run the command directly on the console.

    Give it a whirl on the free edition to see if it works.

    1. you must first find the id of the virtual machine virtual computer by running "vim - cmd vmsvc/getallvms".
    (Use the id of the virtual machine, you want instant and enter it in the command in step 2)

    2. create the snapshot by running "vim - cmd /vmsvc/snapshot.create
    for example, vim - cmd /vmsvc/snapshot.create 16 VMSnapshot SnapShotBeforeUpgrading true.

    Thank you
