• Difference in size of the Parent unit and linked clone

  Hi team,

  I do view Vsphere 5.2 implementation Horizon. Implementation goes smoothly, but I saw a c disk space difference of Parent and Linked clone.

  Windows 7 with Service pack 1 built with optimization script to disable unwanted services. Free space on the drive c image parent is 3.90 Go. When I put in service a clone related in this snapshot of parent picture I found free space in linked clone vdi is about 6.5 GB.

  Please specify if anyone face the same or it is normal in the linked clone.

  Thank you

  Ravindra.

  You use a disposable disc?    When you use a disk file page flies on this disc which may explain the difference in free space.

• Instant and linked clone automated floating pools

  I am trying to understand the interaction between the image and the snapshot used to define the pool and pool record itself original.

  For example; A snapshot is taken of an optimized image of Win7, call it the image of 'work '. No other changes are made in the image of 'working '. An automated floating pool linked clone is created from this image and the snapshot. In this case, since we use roaming profiles and folder redirection its my understanding that no changes to the workstations are stored on virtual machines. Because it would seem that no change is retained which would be stored in the snapshot, what purpose would serve the snapshot?

  My organization takes images of maintaining not optimized as master of the images to install software changes and updates, and then their cloning off to pictures of work. These images of work are used to create our pools. (Should) a picture of work and the other snapshot allows to form several pools of condition there is no difference between the software needs of the different pools? Commissioning several pools is intended to prevent an entire segment of the company to be without a computer something becomes corrupted in one of the pools.

  Thank you in advance.

  The latter is used to create a replica that is a read-only copy of the virtual machine.   When your linked clones are created, they are related to the replica.

  You can absolutely use snapshot to multiple pools, if you choose.

• View office patches and linked Clone pool

  I'm mobile torwards a deployment of Thin Clients using the Wyse P20 and View 4 and I was wondering if anyone has had experience using the linked clone and Altiris Agent Office pool?  If this is not the case, what practices of patching are used?

  What practices of patching are used?

  If you use linked clone you way the main image, not the desktop images.

  Power on the mask, path, clipping, create a new snapshot.

  Then (with View Manager Administration) redial your pool with the new snapshot.

• [ADF, JDev12.1.3] When you rename problems see criteria and link vars used in VO

  Hallo,

  1)

  I changed the name of a view VO criterion, but I'm not able to buld the project.

  Error: myapp.model.vo.MyVO: could not find the referenced object. Object =VC_OLD_NAME Owner = myapp.model.vo.MyVO

  But if I look everywhere in the application I'm not VC_OLD_NAME.

  How can I solve this problem?

  When you rename a VC, JDev auto updates all references to this VC in the application? Or I don't have to worry about it?

  2)

  I renamed a binding var defined for a VO where clause.

  JDev seems to auto update all references to this var binding, but the strange thing is that, in the original Version, the old name is still present (he doesn't).

  Why?

  3)

  Perhaps in the future I would better take not to rename this kind of objects?

  Thank you

  Federico

  1)

  JDev sometimes has problems with refactoring.

  Maybe you can try to close jdev and remove .data folder in your project.

  2)

  Because there is no exact reference to link var if you need to change this manually.

  3)

  Perhaps in the future the jdev will have less bugs

• What is the difference between the model and its clone in VMware?

  What is the difference between the model and its clone in VMware?

  Clone

  A clone is a copy of the virtual machine.

  You can't convert back the cloned Virtual Machine.

  A Clone of a Virtual Machine can be created when the Virtual Machine is running

  Cloning can be done in two ways: Clone full and linked Clone.

  A full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Continuous operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machine.

  A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the virtual machine of parent on a regular basis. This preserves disk space and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation.

  Cloning of a virtual machine can save time if you are deploying several similar virtual machines. You can create, configure, install the software on a single VM and then clone several times, rather than the creation and configuration of each virtual machine individually.

  Model

  A model is an original copy or a reference image of a virtual machine that can be used to create many clones.

  Models can be turned on or edited and are harder to change than usual of virtual machine.

  You can convert the model to the Virtual Machine update model base with the latest released patches and updates and to install or upgrade any software and still convert to template to use for the future deployment of Virtual Machines with the latest patches.

  Convert virtual machine model cannot be performed, when the virtual machine is running.  Only the Clone to the model can be performed when the Virtual Machine is running.

  A model offers a safer way to preserve a virtual machine configuration that you want to deploy several times.

  When you clone a virtual machine or deploy a virtual machine from a template, the cloned virtual machine resulting is independent of the virtual machine or the original model.

• Problem with the floating linked clones and Persona

  Hello

  We run a build view Horizon 6.2.0 - 3005368.

  Just improved our VMware environment to 6.2 and installing an APEX 2800 PCoIP card on our guests.

  I had a pool of office dedicated clone bound for users.

  Now, I made a new image of master and made a new Automated Desktop Pool pool who are floating clone related.

  With the dedicated bound vmis, we place disc profiles of users etc are located.

  With the new pool, I'll use Persona. I followed this guide - http://terenceluk.blogspot.no/2012/10/configuring-roaming-profiles-with.html?showComment=1445933020356 and it works very well indeed, almost.

  For users of a trial, I can see that if something I save it to the desktop, it will be saved on the server of file \\fileserver\redirected$\%username%\Desktop

  When I use my user and try to even something on the desktop - it c:\%username%\Desktop

  I tried to reset, remove my user etc., but it's not. All the settings I made in the GPO - Computer Configuration-> administration-> classic administrative templates (ADM) models-> Configuration of the VMware View Agent-> Persona

  Management-> Folder Redirection

  But my users settings are only "local".

  How is it?

  This can be caused by an incorrect action or NTFS permissions on the redirection of folder/persona.

  She is also due if your user account has a profile on the parent whose linked clone desktops are created.

• Linked Clones and snapshots - which can be removed and when?

  Hello

  Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm new to the linked clones.

  I was able to create clones related win2k8r2 invited.  Everything seems to work ok.  However, once a linked clone is created, is it still necessary to keep the parent snapshot?  That is to say, snapshot of the parent is necessary after related cloning?

  My env:

  VMware ESXi 4.1.0 build-433742

  VMware vSphere PowerCLI 4.1 build 332441 U1

  Thank you

  T

  It must be remembered that a clone is based on the parent machine and a snapshot that you see in the server view.  Multiple snapshots can be consolidated or "rolled up", but depends on the clone.  The parent can put off when the do not need to save on resources in your environment, because that's what the replica is for.  I do not agree with Andre and suggest that you keep the snapshot that you clones are configured to use, with the exception on the consolidation of old clichés.

• View 5 POC, Windows 7 Enterprise, linked Clones and VMXNET3

  I spin a CEP for Views5 and experiencing major issues with the VMXNET3 device when configuring desktop using linked Clones. About half of the configured computers have errors NIC with the fact that he is unable to see the network.

  Has anyone else had similar problems?

  Apply the fix mentioned in: http://pubs.vmware.com/view-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/view-50-administration.pdf

  This will fix the problem as it did for me.

• Is it possible deploy Windows 7 floating - Linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and licensing through KMS?

  Hi all

  I would like to build a floating - linked clone pool for 10 VDIs and lincense them using KMS.

  I read that the KMS solution is valid when you deploy more than 25 VDIs but if my VDIs are rebuild a few times during the day, why KMS does not work for me?

  I have an installed KMS and I think the job properly, but when I build my Windws 7 pool for each computer I always get this message:

  "Discover the State of the agent (16) composer initialization error: impossible to activate the license (waited 1275 seconds).

  If anyone can tell me what I should do to fix.

  Thank you

  What I do for this is to simply begin your pool with 26 machines and all have power upward.  Then just make sure all active and then reduce it down to the size you want.  Your environment might suffer a little performance while you do this, but it does the job for you.  A tip - don't forget to make offices and BONES.

• linked clones and their video card settings

  So I notice when connecting to my linked clones w / the customer discovers that moving an application from one monitor to the other window rows.  My first thought was to increase the memory under the parameters of the virtual machine to 128 and check the 3D support (for smile).  However, it seems that my settings are saved and then automatically indented the previous value in the window recent tasks of the vsphere client.  I thought maybe it was because my parents VM had settings before taking the s so I stopped, changed the settings and then made a new test pool.  No dice.  What gives, and how do I then increase video performance if I'm not allowed to change the settings on the parent VM or the clones themselves?  Thank you!

• Linked Clone pools with fast and KMS

  Here are a few things I'm still not clear on?  (1) what to choose fast as my process for related clones, creating bound within view Admin clone pool?  (2) where point desktop clone related newly updated to point to the KMS server?  (3) therefore to create a pool of related cone that I have to turn off the Parent virtual machine and take a snapshot and then choose this snapshot when I go to the floating pool linked clone process, correct?

  When you create the master vm and before taking snapshots, make sure that its using the kms client.  Any machine that uses this key automatically discover host kms on your network and activate.  There is no need to specify in the settings of quickprep.  When I was with sysprep I put the key client kms in customizers, but quickprep just takes what is there and use it.

• Linked Clones and SCSI controller

  I created an automated linked clone pool that points to a virtual machine Windows XP parent. I used the parallel LSI Logic Controller and the value of the SCSI disk (0:0). The problem is, after the pool is created, when the user connects, they invited to a username and password with this message "you must be member of the Administrators group on this computer to install this equipment. SCSI controller.

  I don't do our domain users members of the local Administrators group, so this creates a big problem.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Mike

  Please perform following steps.

  -----------------------------------------

  • Create a new virtual machine with custom SCSI controller. (Keep floppy drive configuration)
  • Extract the downloaded driver symmpi_wXP_1201800.zip (version 1.28.03)
  • The driver disk image can be by editing the VM, floppy.
  • Start the installation of Windows XP, press F6 when request and then point to the driver on the floppy drive
  • Continue and finish the installation.
  • Now to use this virtual machine as a VM parent, and it should solve your problem

• Linked Clone with vSphere api and VIClient 2.5

  I'm trying to create Clone bound using vSphere Web services api (c#) and it always end like full clone.

  My question is, is it possible to create Linked clone using vSphere api with VIClient 2.5.

  I know that vShpere supports version 2.5 VIClient. vShpere has the ability to create Linked clone.

  I try to know why it does not create Linked clone from my environment.

  I am ready to explain if you need more details.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can vMotion Linked Clones... sVmotion may work, but I have not tested, probably not a good idea to move them.

• On vSphere Linked Clone and Lab Manager 4

  Hello

  In the Lab Manager Installation and Upgrade guide, there is a sentence saying: "Lab Manager is not compatible VMware Fault Tolerance (FT) or clones linked vSphere.".

  My question is: "what is a vSphere Linked Clone? Is is distinguished by a Clone of VMware? Because as far as I am concerned, the linked cloning technology came from Lab Manager right?

  Thank you!

  Welcoem to the Forums - Yes TI a vSphere Linked Clone is different from that in Lab Manager Linked Clone but unserlying technology is the same - the difference is whtechnology manages the linked clone - vSphere is handled only by the vSphere environment while a cloned associated Lab Manager is managed by you are your Lab Manager environment.
