REALLY stupid question about virtual machines and disks of cancellations.

I'm a bit hesitant to ask this question because it might make me look stupid, but...

When I'm done using Virtual PC and a virtual machine running Windows XP Pro with Vista 64 Home Premium because the host os, often I did not any significant changes to the hard disk of the virtual machine.

What I save gets saved to a network share on my server for files and printing from Win98 and saved on a flash drive.

Assuming that I do no configuration changes or anything else I want to keep, is there a reason barely stopping properly when I 'cancellations discs' enabled?

Any reason, I can not save time by pressing the 'X' button and choose 'disable and remove changes '?

I am aware of patches, but took me to inform me of the patches, and I can get patches when it's convenient for me and I always validate changes when I install the patches. I'm not using it for anything other than my classes of the school of the evening for the time being, so it is not much of a value of protection on the virtual machine, and I used to write papers on the host operating system. I just use the virtual machine to play with the admin tools in an environment where I can easily fix it a massive screw-up without spending hours to reinstall Windows.

Hey SlickRCBD,.

Not a stupid question at all! :)

It's very well hit the X when you have activated the disks of cancellations. And corruption or problems with the active virtual machine will be resolved when using the drive to cancel it.

  • Question about Virtual Machine learning repositories

    Hello everyone,

    I am interested in learning repositories OBIEE. Anyone know a virtual machine to learn repositories, I learn of dashboards and reports with Oracle Business Intelligence 11 g (11 g OBIEE) image EE virtual v107. Where could I research training on the repositories?

    Hello!

    I was recently introduced to Photoshop through work and I use it for an amount of things to many successful however recently after using a tinkering with the Brush tool and background/foreground color in the Toolbox I am unable to return to change colors of background/outline. I searched online a fair bit for all solutions to this problem, but nothing helped. Whenever I paint forms that they simply appear as colorless with no fill or stroke and just sketch it that I drew. Could someone please direct me how to change the icon of the 2 area (x button) to return to the power change and change my background/border colors?

  • stupid question about UAC

    OK, it's a REALLY stupid question about UAC.

    I have several icons on my desktop. Some of them are games that must be run as administrator in XP compatibility mode.

    I rarely accidentally tried to open the icon, particularly if you use the keyboard to choose what I want.

    Is there a reason if I accidentally open a game that pushes me in height DO NOT hit 'Cancel' if I didn't intend to play the game at the moment, but trying to open something else? Something like a process being left in suspense, memory leaks, or any other reason why I can't Abort to launch the application to the UAC prompt?

    Hey, Slick,

    Clicking Cancel will prevent the running total process if you do not have to worry about the still ongoing services for memory leaks or game, etc..
    I hope this helps.
  • Reports on virtual machines and their records

    I want to create a report on all my virtual machines and disks attached to each.  My preference would be to have the information in a .csv, so I can work with it in Excel.  What I've done so far has proved frustrating as I find it hard to combine the two.

    What I tried:

    1 VI Toolkit - I know I can run the command 'Get - VM' and "Get-hard drive" to get everything I need, but the combination of the two is beyond my current abilities of PowerShell.

    2 Report.ps1 of alanrenouf - gives a lot of information, but nowhere close to what I need.  I considered trying to modify this script, but I thought that it would take more time than learning how to make #1.

    3 OpenXMPowerTools - get this utility approach work still takes hours without result, more work than it's worth

    I have a few scripts (VBscript) skills, it is just their transfer in the new PowerShell environment for me I have difficulties with that.  I'm picturing extract names VM of the command Get - VM and then providing them to the hard disk-Get command and write VM name and output in the .csv file.

    Any help you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated to learn PowerShell.

    Thank you

  • Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

    Hello

    I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

    Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

    I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

    Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

    I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

    I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

    Sigmoid wrote:

    Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

    A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

    OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

    Let's do it this way

    1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
    2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
    3. make the BACKUP!
    4. Disconnect the data host drives
    5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
    6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
    7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
    8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
    9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
    10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
    11. begin to ESXi
    12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
    13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  • Number of processors to assign to the virtual machines (and a few other questions)

    Hello

    I have a server with two nuclei. When I create virtual machines (currently three) I assign only a single core. Which is better in a point of view of performance? Should I rather give each virtual computer? Do the operating system support (Windows Server 2003) this change later?

    Also, I currently see all status flags to the unknown Configuration-Display tab. They use to display a green dot. No idea why this is happening?

    And finally, does it really matter if a virtual machine is running x 86 och x 64? I mean, so the host I can understand that there might be a lot of RAM, but for virtual machines?

    Thank you!

    There are recommendations on the virtual CPU possiblity in the manual. Get it, read...

    If you have 'only' a dual core, do not assign more than one vCPU to any guest.

    Let me guess, you run ESXi on a white box?

  • I have a few questions about the internet and partition recovery

    I deleted completely OS X Yosemite and only left Windows. Now that I'm pretty sick of Windows and want to use my Macbook Air for real, I am using recovery of the internet (order and R) to reinstall OS X.

    I backed up all my data and that you haven't stored anything in my Macbook. My questions are: (I know they are long, but they are quick to respond)

    1. I want to erase everthing on my Mac. I have now 3 partitions. After starting and pressing command + R, I would use disk utility to erase everything, like this .

    After you click Delete, would be merged my 3 partitions in 1 and I could repartition my Mac?

    2. I want to create a partition for OS X Yosemite (and possibly upgrade to El Capitan). What is the minimum recommended size for partition OS X Yosemite? (Because my SSD is only 128 GB)

    3. Let's say I create 3 partitions, let's name A for OS X, B for my data and C for reinstalling Windows. If I boot into Windows, I'd be able to use (read and modify) data on B, or just OS X could do that?

    4 the amount of data I should download during the recuperation of the Internet? I guess that much since I'm downloading the OS X package, but my internet is quite slow, so I want to know how of SGB I have to download.

    5 If I asks me to enter the Apple ID to download OS X, would any book Apple ID?

    Thanks for reading. I would be extremely grateful if you answer my questions. See you soon

    • 0: have backups of everything that you care and disconnect external drives except those you use specifically.  While he isn't supposed to, repartitioning should always be supposed to cause a total loss of data.  Corruptions can and do happen sometimes, unfortunately.  Stray user commands can sometimes target bad drives for erasure or repartitioning, because errors can happen.  Do not connect anything unnecessarily.
    • 1: Yes.  You want to create a volume of GPT partitions.
    • 2: let Yosemite size and add his own scores.
    • 3: using Boot Camp to add the Windows partition.  With a small that disk, I might well Park out Windows on an external storage device, or use a virtual machine, and Windows as a guest.   In general, add additional user-defined partitions are not general, something I recommend.  Resizing and adding and removing partitions can meet with corruptions, provide for backups.

  • Delete a partition in a virtual machine and expand the initial allocation of hard drive

    I have created a virtual machine running server 2012R2 with an allowance of 60 GB drive. I decided after doing hours of work on the virtual machine I had assigned too little disk space for the virtual machine. I decided that I just go in vSphere and change settings and add to the existing space. The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original, which doesn't help me. How can I remove this new partition and just expand the original that has been allocated when I created this virtual machine?

    Thank you

    Hi Paul,.

    Could you clarify what you mean by;

    The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original

    (A) do you mean you modified the virtual machine and added a second disc, rather than increase the size of the original? or;

    (B) you increase the size of the original disk and create a new partition in this free space?

    Be that as it may, the question should be simple to solve;

    (A) remove the second disk you don't need, increase the size of the original. Then from the OS Disk Manager, rescan the disks and extend C:\ in free space.

    (B) delete the partition that you don't need. From the OS Disk Manager, expand C:\ in free space.

    See you soon,.

  • Find virtual machines with disks of 'thin '.

    Hello

    I'm looking for a script that locates the virtual machines with disks of 'thin' and retrieves information about the provisioned size and "used" actual size and output to a CSV file.

    Thank you in advance!

    This gives you a report on virtual machines with thin discs and the capacity of your hard disk.

    Validated clerk/no values are available only through VM by the data store, I'm afraid, not by the hard drive.

  • Question about the interruptions and priming

    Hello

    I had a few questions about the startup and interruptions in a virtualized environment

    Assuming that, plenty of virtualization (no material assistance to virtualization of memory ).

    1 initialization: in an ordinary PC, the boot process starts with the BIOS, to expansion ROM, back to the BIOS and MBR secondary boot record, then grub (is it) and finally the operating system. In a virtualized environment with VMM running directly on top of hardware (Native VMM), how is the initialization of the different process, as I understand it takes BIOS-> Expansion ROM - > BIOS-MBR-> other record secondary-> VMM-> OS--> applications >. Am I right on that?

    2 breaks: VMM examines the source interruptions prior to the interruption, so in a multicore environment, assuming a 2 processor core, how the VMM decides on the kernel for which the interruption in intended, prior to shipment of the interruption. Interruptions are tag ID, said core ID?

    Thanks in advance

    It is simplistic but essentially correct.  A metaphor would be a little better thinking that the hypervisor/vmm is an operating system, except that the process on this operating system are requests or comments OSes.  If the BIOS-> OPROM-> BIOS-> MBR-> hypervisor-> init process of the hypervisor-> reviews of fork () s operating systems.  This can become blurred by the design choices (for example Xen/Hyper-V init start a coded parent hard partition that makes hypercalls privileged to fork() guest OSes; ESXi init runs a very limited subset of applications directly on the hypervisor and ESX Classic is somewhere between these approaches).

    There is a subtle distinction between "hypervisor" and "www."  The "hypervisor" is the operating system of single root (e.g. ESX) who interacts directly with the hardware and has access to everything; a hypervisor is not to be used to run virtual machines.  When we talk about a "hypervisor", the tendency is to describe something which is a BONE (although usually a minimal OS designed only to run virtual machines).  The "www" is the layer that allows a virtual machine run: it provides the interposition, virtualization and emulation services and can be plural (for example a vmm by guest operating system).  Architecture of VMware deal with these two separate components, while most other virtualization platforms merge the two.

    Strictly speaking, the interruption is not transmitted to a guest operating system - receives the hypervisor (or rather the VMM it transmits to the hypervisor), the hypervisor drivers interpret the interruption (for example reading package of NIC, I/O process of HBA, the timer tick completion), then after a new appropriate break in the guest OS.

  • A question about the methods and parameters.

    Hey guys, this is my first post here. I am very new to Java and done a bit of C++ before Java. I had a question about the methods and parameters. I do not understand the methods; I know they can be repeated when it is called, but it's almost everything. I also know that a program should have a class that contains the main method. What I really, really understand on methods is what the parameters are. I know they are in parentheses and that is it. Could you explain what they are? I really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance. Best regards, Michael

    Taking an example:
    Suppose you calculate area of the rectangle you need two inputs one is the length and the width. Area = l X b, where l = length, b = width

    If your method, say, calculateAreaOfRectangle (length int, int width) will be two parameters as arguments.

    System.out.println ("field of rectangle:" + calculateAreaOfRectangle (40,30);)

    public int calculateAreaOfRectangle (int length, int width) {}
    int area;
    Area = length * width;
    return of area;
    }

    So if you call this method then the output will be returned in 120.

    Parameters of a method are simply the input variables for the method of treatment for all calculations or something useful.

    And we cannot have methods inside the main method in Java. It is in the java syntax and if you do, it will throw a syntax error.
