• CPU, RAM and disk, file system information for the data, logs, temp, Archive for database

  Hello gurus,
  
  How can we see what size of CPU and RAM for the database? According to the previous steps of this great site, I could able to do
  

  SQL> show parameter sga_max_size
  
  NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  sga_max_size                         big integer 800M
  SQL> exit

  Therefore, the size of the RAM for the database to which I have connected
  

  rootd2n3v5# ioscan -kfn |grep -i processor
  processor    0  13/120         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    1  13/121         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    2  13/122         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    3  13/123         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  rootd2n3v5#

  The one above was the command give the OS level that I don't know what information he gives and what database, since there are 12 databases on this server.
  
  How can I get the CPU information?
  
  And where can I find information for information of system data files, logs, temp, Archive?

• 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.

• Time machine and old files

  I run two external drives for Time Machine.

  Do you mean the file exist in Time Machine - or that they were on a non-time drive machine.

  Time machine is not for permanent backup of the files you want to delete from your hard drive - daily backups are consolidated/cleaned in weekly backups - so if you had a file in the middle of the week - then deleted before the end of the week - time machine will not it also on the weekend date, the file did not exist on the hard disk.

• Deleting files from the store of data using vSphere SDK

  Hello

  I'm doing a backup script that is supposed to clone a machine once every day.

  The steps that I'm trying to achieve is to first delete the old copy of my clone (this because vCenter won't replace the files). So I want to clone again and he unsubscribe vcenter because we do not want it displayed in our inventory.

  I got in regards to cloning and unsubscribing, but deleting files seems to be a bit more complicated.

  I tried a few approaches, I tried to vmdkManagement.pl that is not quite what I wanted (also tried change it without the desired result).

  I tried to figure out how to write my own script to delete, but the API is out of my reach as to understand how the neccessery objects correctly.

  Can someone help me with an excerpt from script (between Util::connect and Util::disconnect) or another approach to this issue?

  I must mention the data store is a NFS share and VMware seems to lock the files that prevents me to run a scheduled task to delete or using methods of perl (rmtree or untie) to delete files.

• 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

  Did you watch his pretty good RVtools and maybe gives you options of export or copied data and import it with excellent that.  Its very nice ESX administration tool.

• How to list the VMs and blue file associated by cluster

  I tried to figure out how to get the list of virtual machines on a particular cluster of ESX and their associated blue records.  I tried to change some of the scripts I found that all virtual machines and their files... but can't seem to get them to identify to a cluster.

  Someone has something that I could try?

  There are indeed a few scripts that give the railways blue folder for virtual machines.

  It is an adapted version of one of my scripts that does state on the virtual machines for a specific cluster.

  $report = @()
  $cluster = 
  
  Get-Cluster $cluster | Get-VM | Get-View | % {
  
       $current = Get-View $_.Parent
       $path = $_.Name
       do {
            $parent = $current
            if($parent.Name -ne "vm"){$path = $parent.Name + "\" + $path}
            $current = Get-View $current.Parent
       } while ($current.Parent -ne $null)
  
       $row = "" | select ClusterName, VMName, Path
       $row.ClusterName = $cluster
       $row.VMName = $_.Name
       $row.Path = $path
       $report += $row
  }
  
  $report
  

  If you want to see the list in the 'blue' folder_name order, you can change the last line

  $report | Sort-Object -Property Path
  

• deploy multiple virtual machines using vmdk and SID file

  Hello

  Need to know if I am correct or miss me something... I deploy many virtual machines using method.

  1. remove the vmdk files a XP.

  2. create new folders and copy the vmdk into this folder.

  3. create virtual machines using existing vmdk files.

  4 rename the computer and join it to the domain.

  My question is, my VMDK files are an existing xp VM (no longer exist), what is the status of the deployed virtual machines? they still have the same SID or it is changed? I managed to join to the domain, but do not want surprises in the future.

  Note:

  I had another option, could have all these automated with new SID using PowerCLi, unfortunately, osCustomization has default, I can't event run the get-OsCustomization command, it keeps failing.

  Thank you.

  Yes, Windows writes the SID on disk (virtual disk for virtual machines) or physical disk for physical machines.  The guest operating system has no idea on the vmx file.

• Disk utility does not not what Time Machine backup connected / file Vault question?

  Hi all

  I'm on Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.3 (15 d 21) on a Macbook Pro 8.2 (early 2011)

  Previously, when File Vault was not activated I've been able to backup on my external drive for Time Machine (1 TB store Transcend jet) and the drive was visible when opening disk utility no problem...

  Now since I have encrypted my first Macintosh HD using File Vault, my disk utility program will not load when my Time Machine (unencrypted) external backup disk is connected, and I can not back up by using the application Time Machine (the player is simply not visible).

  When my external drive for Time Machine is not connected, my disk utility opens very well and I can see my Macintosh HD all external USB drives.

  I tried to re-boot, I tried to disconnect all external devices, I tried to connect the Time Machine drive with two USB ports and I tried to open the first disk utility, and then connect the external drive for Time Machine without success.

  Anyone else have experience with this problem or something similar? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much!

  Connect your Time Machine backup disk

  Open a Terminal

• I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

  I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

• Deleted virtual disk file and data store, just want to boot OS now.

  So I had a VM win7, and I added a virtual disk on a new data store.

  The new drive came out fine on windows as a new drive, and I was able to format etc.

  Now I basically unplugged all the system and booted Linux instead of ESX and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Then I started in vmware and saw that the Windows VM was in a State of 'suspended' and if I try to take it back, he complains the missing disk file.

  "

  Reason: The system cannot find the specified file.
  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
  VMware ESX can not find the virtual disk "/ vmfs/volumes/504e6c8a-b20d8bfd-1768-001e674dda97/win7/win7_1.vmdk". Check that the path is valid and try again.

  "

  But it does not successfully. I tried to change the settings to remove the ' disk hard 2 "of its devices, but which is disabled since I assume that the virtual machine is suspended."»

  I don't like on the virtual disk or any data on this subject, I have need to be in windows - I want to just start in

  Is it possible to get out of this State without having to remove the entire virtual machine and re - install windows?

  Thank you!

  > and started instead of ESX Linux and ran all over the disk on which was my data store.

  Sorry - that "ran the disk" mean exactly?

  to get rid of the suspended state - delete the VMS, as well as all the VMS file references in the vmx file

• 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 :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

  Summary:

  VMware workstation: 7.0.1 build 227600

  host of os: Vista sp2, 64-bit

  (16 GB of ram)

  guest operating system: sles10 sp2 64-bit (4 GB ram)

  the virtual machine folder:

  drive eSATA (samsung 320, blacx attachment)

  symptom: guest vm

  does not start: says "the specified file is not a virtual disk.

  history: this particular comments works fine; I've done about 30 shots

  during the last 2 months.  The guest is not a copy - even if she did start life as a full-clone

  another linux-client with or without an operating system installed.  In any case, I've used it to very good

  effect for 2 months now.

  So last night I wanted to power off of the host, while I lived my usual steps:

  (1) stop my os of burst (# shutdown - h now)

  (2) even worksation vmware (file - & gt; exit)

  (3) stop start vista (not "suspend" but the real stop turn off the power).

  (4) visa bluescreened.  Now she is doing this every so often, so I thought that it would be

  a big deal.

  (5) this morning I tried to turn on the virtual machine and I got the 'not a virtual disk' error.

  My best guess at this point is the bluescreen stopped some write cache to be

  flushed to disk.  The funny thing is, after the previous bluescreens 3 or 4, the

  Comments to restart without a hitch.

  shrug In any case, just to be weave, I disabled write Vista for outside cache

  device (set to security policy / deletion in Device Manager).  Seems smarter to

  an external device.

  Spare part

  Attached is a file cant_start.zip (191KO) containing:

  dircontents.txt - directory of the client's file listing
  sles10_sp2. NVRAM
  sles10_sp2.vmsd
  sles10_sp2.vmx
  sles10_sp2.vmxf
  VMware.log - other requests asked for *.log files, so I thought
  VMware - 0.log - I should send him these as well.
  VMware - 1.log
  VMware - 2.log
  \ui-logs - 2 IU-logs from C:\Users\jgreve\AppData\Local\Temp\vmware-jgreve
  \vmdk_files - subdirectory of *.vmdk files, light, & can be useful
  -end-

  I checked the VMDK and newspapers - and the VMDK all look great.

  Last departure also seems to succeed?

  As it seems that instant 36 is not used so far - I was just going to throw it away and try again.

  To do this, you would change the line vmx file

  scsi0:0. FileName = 'suse11.2_x64 - cl1 - 000036.vmdk.

  TO

  scsi0:0. FileName = 'suse11.2_x64 - cl1 - 000035.vmdk.

  and then try to restart the virtual machine. If that works then remove all the

  suse11.2_x64 - cl1 - 000036-* files
