• "Remove all" snapshots causing startup problems.  How to manually compile snapshots?

  Hey guys,.

  We run our production and test servers ESXi 3.5 with great success.  However, like many others, we have struggling to find a good economic backup solution if we use a Perl script edited by for this.  The script applies a snapshot and then copying the original files for the guests.  In the end, the script removes the snapshot, and we're back in business.  Most of the time, everything works perfectly.  This morning, we arrived to find the extremely slow server with about 10 snapshots.  Not realizing exactly what "remove all" done in terms of balooning, the size of the previous snapshots, we chose this selection.  The Server shut down (I guess due to the increase in the size of the previous snapshots) and when we tried to restart, we encountered the error that you see in the attachment.

  Look a bit more close to the data store, it seems that most of the snapshots for virtual disk 1 have been removed, but it has been left over.  The other virtual disks 2-4 were intact.  The server does not start and if I return to the .vmdks that are available, I've lost two weeks of a data value.  Is it possible to manually apply the changes in snapshots to the .vmdks so that we can keep as many changes as possible on the 2-4 drives?

  Thank you

  Seth

  OK - now I would use vmkfstools to each of the 4 drives clone.

  the first is NOMADSERV01_1 - 000009.vmdk

   vmkfstools -i NOMADSERV01_1-000009.vmdk /nomadserv-disk1.vmdk
  

  next is "NOMADSERV01_2 - 000009.vmdk".

    vmkfstools -i NOMADSERV01_2-000009.vmdk /nomadserv-disk2.vmdk
  

  before you try, you must correct the snapshot of the string that was spoiled by the basediskalone running.

  I think that the first two should work if you use the edited files, I have attached.

  Then, two coming soon

• After removing all snapshots, cannot access shares

  Recently, I noticed that my SIN was not always full despite regularly delete data to free up space. I discovered that the snapshot took all the space, I consiquently delete all snapshots, but the assosiated folder is now gone. I can see the NAS shows again the data are on the NAS, but I can't seem to access if Windows or page of the interface.

  You would have certainly got a popup that requires typing something to confirm that you wanted to delete the share. It is a protection device against accidental deletion of the shares.

• How to remove all of the Widcomm / Broadcom driver files without afecting Windows 7

  WIDCOMM/Broadcom Bluetooth does not connect to any device. I tried troubleshooting, uninstalling and reinstalling in various ways, including Revo (Revo search all installed files if installed with it, which wasn't my original case), without success. I want to clean the computer of any trace of the driver Widcomm/Broadcom again restart. As know, there is no way to remove all of the Broadcom driver files (sounds similar to drivers who need specific applications to remove their display files). I also need to clean the registry of this batch of Broadcom entered and port settings. Unable to set the permissions of port settings to delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\BTHENUM and the BTH

  The search for answers, I couldn't find any thread containing any viable solution or confirmed to fix Broadcom Bluetooth on Windows 7, but on an old thread there is a tutorial by Shinmila: witch would solve my problems, as described. He points to the guilty finding drivers and remove them. According to my experience, there is no need to reinstall the driver on remains stale. However. I'm not sure that any of these drivers will not need to Windows. I tried a few things from her tutorial without result. Shinmila link to the support site for Widcomm is no longer valid, and I couldn't find any support he...

  Where my questions:

  1. Can I safely delete all files found by searching on its method 2?
  2. How to clean the ports of registry and other settings?

  I am open to all ideas and suggestions which put me using Bluetooth, but from my experience, I believe that. as for the display drivers, I have to have my PC without remaining driver files and settings. Thank you for all provided assistance.

  The only reason why you could not delete the key \services\BTHPORT is because you don't have the appropriate permissions on some of its underlying subkeys, specifically you didn't have all the permissions on the subkeys of \BTHPORT\Parameters\ExceptionDB\VidPids.  I have no problem taking complete control over the underlying of the subkeys either directly or by inheritance and then removing the key BTHPORT.  Regarding PsExec switch-s allows him to start a process under the guise of the system account where you can pretty much do as you please.

  If the old drivers from Targus gave you problems, then I suggest that you use the latest drivers for Broadcom, of course, you won't know this they solve your problem until you try them.

• Need help to remove all snapshots

  We have a Web VM server that had about 6 photos attached to it.

  We were in lack of space on our logic unit number so we did a remove, but who did not do anygood and I think (197 GB) snapshots are always in the virtual machine folder.

  We have about 18 GB of free space.

  Please advised.

  Sounds good.

  I see you have removed the third virtual disk to the virtual machine (without removal of the disc). To avoid problems, remove the file 'wwwtest.vmsd' at this point.

  Once the cloning is done (vmkfstools completed successfully), modify the virtual machine settings and remove the second HDD (not yet him le supprimer remove the disk, remove only the virtual hardware), and then add the new clone virtual disk on the virtual computer (make sure that it is connected to "scsi0:1"). To ensure the old virtual disks are not used, create a new subdirectory in the folder of the virtual machine and move all the files 'wwwtest_1 *.vmdk' in this folder (this can be done using the browser of data store).

  Now it's time to turn on the virtual machine to see if everything works as expected. If Yes, you can safely remove the files move to the subdirectory.

  ATTENTION: If you have problems, please do not try to pick up the old virtual disk. Report back here and I will help.

  After you confirm the steps above, we can do a bit of cleaning and/or bring the virtual disk cloned in his folder 'home '. Please attach the latest vmware.log once again, I can take a look.

• Remove orphaned snapshots of backup failed

  ARCserve backup software is a failure while trying to back up virtual machines and leaving behind the clichés that are deleted. I work with CA (ARCserve) to solve backup problems.

  I have a few virtual machines in need of consolidation and others who don't. Can I just do a "remove all" snapshots on these virtual machines or do I consolidate those in need, first of all?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jim,.

  Both delete and consolidate would eliminate them the snapshots, IE do it connects and validate data on the basic disk (VMDK). I'd rather have the virtual machine under tension, then go with consolidation,

  Since we can not estimate on when it can be completed.

  Thank you

  Press command-2 key combination to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click on this title to sort the content by date. This will make the related files easy to identify regardless of their names, because they will have the same modification date.

  Place all of these in the trash. If there are other files whose name begins with something, those in the trash also move. You can get a caveat that some files are locked; Delete them anyway.

  Once you've done that, we may not have anything left in the LaunchAgents folder; in this case, you can remove the folder, but otherwise does not delete it. Other files in the folder are not necessarily malicious (though they may be, if you have also installed another type of malware).

• Consolidate the Snap Shot or remove the snapshot, which should not

  Dear Experts,

  We have a Linux virtual machine, and we recently increased its vmdk to add more than 10 GB but before doing so, we took a snapshot of State off the machine. Increase now the space is done and now if I see the drive for this machine, it shows me 'thick' 35GB

  It is the only snap shot we have for this machine. If I click with the right button on computer and go the snapshot > I see here snapshot manager, take a snapshot, back to the snapshot current and last is to consolidate.

  If I go to the Snapshot Manager, I see the point where I am now and the last point that is marked as 'before you increase the space', so I need to click on consolidate OR click the old cliché and delete to maintain the current state of the machine? How the two are different consolidate and remove all?

  If the disk is thick, I can still get rid of snapshots? Please see attached images

  Thank you and waiting for response.

  So what I understand now is the consolidation option should be used when on condition is true:

  operation "snapshot disks compress after delete or clear all ', other wise I should go for delete snapshot in normal condition, please correct me if I got hurt?

  Peacebuilding operation removes all your recovery logs 'redundant '. But removing any operation remove your shots and consolidate on a single disc.

  Consolidation will cause no change in the number of snapshots. But delete / delete all will remove them actually snapshots and the present changes in this snapshot will be written back to the parent disk. And also always remove snapshot operation was launched with a peacebuilding operation.

  Let me know if you need additional information here.

  Delta records are created whenever a snapshot is taken?

  Yes.

  I have a vcenter Server virtual and it have a snapshot that we created when we start building the vcenter, can I remove it so that I am connected to vcenter server using Vsphere client.

  Yes you can delete it. But since its vCenter, please ensure that you have enough space available in your data store to perform a snapshot of deletion operation. The required space are perfectly explained by Duncan Epping in his blog...

• Delete all snapshots

  Hello

  I started all avoid the VM snapshot almost 4 hours ago. It rose to 95% at the beginning and stopped so far. After 90 minutes of waiting, I realized that VM has been activated (oops) so I decided to turn it off while the abduction was still used. Virtual computer system turns off but the machine not. I could not have done yet because (I think) instant withdrawal is underway.

  Now, how can I check if the deletion process is still running or that 95% is smth like zomie-process? In fact, this virtual machine is not the one I need, but there are still other virtual machines work so I think that I can not turn all ESX host to break the abduction.

  Quick help appreciated, thanks.

  It is important to remove the snapshot when the virtual machine is turned off or does not matter?

  It doesn't really matter. However, depending on the workload of the virtual machine and the amount of disk space available on the data store, you need to delete snapshots, while the virtual machine is turned off.

  When the virtual machine has a single disk, say 50GB with multiple snapshots, why the data in the file are cut on several files that altogether occupy more than 120 GB, even if snapshots are deleted?

  The virtual machine is divided into several files, files of configuration and data files. Each snapshot will start a new file (actually two).

  In another discussion you mentioned use you ESX 4.0. What version do you use? With Update 2 and newer you won't usually problems to withdraw several snapshots using the "Clear all" button, but with older versions you could easily run out of disk space if the space is already low.

• All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.

  All my research are back in the search engine Yahoo finder without danger.  I ran the fixes suggested in other threads with the same problem, but I still get Yahoo search results.  Google is my selected search engine.

  I noticed that the problem happens when I type my research in space on the search page itself.  This search page looks a bit like a page from Google, but there no links etc than Google does.  Instead, he has "SearchTech" downstairs (with Contact, privacy and terms). If I type my research topic in the menu bar the results come back in Google.

  I confirmed that my favorite search engine is Google. Previously I ran LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons and removed three files to those who had been loaded on my computer today.  I checked the extensions are that there is not.
