Removal of VM snapshots will help to reclaim storage

We found about 8.1 TB of data store space used by the VM snapshots that we asked teams to go and remove as many of them created long back.

This will help me to regain the 8.1 TB of storage or only some GBs

mubaraksardar,

If you remove these snapshots of that space will be available on the data stores again. I hope that you have a version of ESX which is most recent few years that the remove snapshot feature has changed over the years.

    This discussion is very useful to understand how to remove the snapshot, but in my case its thick put in service of the disks.

    1. What are the risks associated with deleting Consolidated-helper-0 snapshot.

    Ask for advice.

    Thank you.

    I can't you why consolidate-Helper has not been deleted, but in this case I don't see a risk in trying to 'Delete All' snapshots again. With the virtual machine, you will see an another instant coding Helper temporarily, but this snapshot as well as the existing one should be gone when the removal process is complete.

    Hi ebugsasi,
     
    To remove protect him writing on a kingston Micro SD cards, locate a switch or button on the side of the micro SD adapter card. It will normally be a symbol of locking/unlocking on it. Put it to the unlocked position.
     
    This should remove the write-protection feature.

  • I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This will help overall battery life to stay connected as I have all these phone calls?

    I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This is my work phone.

    This will help life battery together if I keep the phone plugged in my phone calls?

    Thank you

    SUSE, you can use it while connected and in this way when you unplug to get somewhere, you know you will have a fully updated beautiful upgraded battery.

    Just don't leave it plugged constantly all the time — weeks or months.  A battery lithium needs periodically some running through it.  But certainly leave it plugged during the day of the company while using it, or even just for long calls will do no harm.

    Battery life is determined by the cycles, so if this reduces the rate of your phone through equivalent full charge and discharge cycles it can not hurt self-help (depending on how you use it, it cannot help battery life much either, but it probably won't hurt it).

    I own a Macbook pro mid 2012. Now I want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB, please suggest if this update will help me to improve my performance to macbook.

    It will help in cases where the applications require more than 4 GB of RAM.  Otherwise, there will be no noticeable difference.  If you really want to increase the speed, an SSD is the best option.  They cost about 3 x's + more than a traditional HDD of same capacity...

  • What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

    Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

    Hello

    I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

    I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

    What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

    Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

    AstoriaBoro

    You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

    Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

    Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

    Hello

    Well nothing we have discussed in this forum would have caused you to lose all the files.

    Eventually, you use a different account and cannot see the files. Make sure that you are
    connected with an ADMIN account so you can access all files on the computer.

    Or you moved or deleted.
