Sharing of disk and snapshot

Hello

I'm deploying a small cluster using Red Hat GFS, so I have two virtual machines with a system (not shared) disk and a big shared disk.

On each virtual machine, I'm a (paravirtual) SCSI controller without bus sharing (for the system disk) and a (paravirtual) SCSI controller with physical bus share (for the shared disk). The shared disk is INDEPENDENT.

What I want is to take a snapshot of the virtual machine with only the system disk, but the vCenter do not allow me to take it! Is there a limitation of snapshot and sharing of bus or something wrong with my config?

Thank you

Andrea

Excluding the snapshots of virtual disks form works only with affecting the independent-persistent, but as soon as the sharing of bus comes into play, snapshots are not longer supported.

  • Unable to start the virtual machine and snapshots are missing from snapshot Manager.

    Hello

    I'm new here in the VMWARE communities and I don't know if I'm posting this survey in the right place. I am currently using VMWARE Workstation 9. The issue I'm having is that I can not start my VM. The error that says:

    vm error.png

    This is an overview of my settings:

    settings.png

    When I try to get a snapshot I can go back, I get this snapshot Manager screen:

    snapshot.png

    I checked the files on the directory of the virtual machine. The snapshot files are still there.

    I tried to solve the problem by editing the configuration of virtual machine file to use another vmdk. I got an error saying something about the parent and the child are not synchronized. Sorry I don't have a screenshot of that. I also tried to make a copy of one of the other VMDK and rename it to match with the name of the missing file. That also made me anywhere I tried looking on the net but I get answers to other vmware ESXi and vSphere products. So I don't know if they apply to my current situation.

    At this point, I'm hoping to recover my machine or at least be able to use snapshots. Please notify.

    I think that the restoration was the best way to solve this problem. I actually checked the different files, but it looks like I missed something. In any case, create snapshots with the virtual machine in a state engine is my personal preference. It is not only to save disk space (since there is no need to preserve the current state of memory), but also provides a consistent state. As for the number of snapshots, you're always on the stop side, and if you are not having issue of performace with small changes you make you should be ok. In case there is a performance problem, you may consider to store the computer virtual on an SSD that will certainly help.

    Since the Center of Documentation of VMware Workstation 10

    To the premises of the virtual machines, you can take more than 100 snapshots for each linear process. For shared virtual computers and remote, you can take a maximum of 31 snapshots for each linear process.

  • Sharing of files and hard drive between computers

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    I'm trying to connect two computers, which I named system A and system b. Computers and a DSL modem at wire speed Westel are connected to a router Asus WL-520 through ethernet LAN cables wireless/wired. HP PSC 2355 printer is connected to the router with a USB cable. The LAN on board two computers automatically configures the IP addresses of the form 192.168.x.x, which, in my view, to work. However there is no connectivity between the two computers, systems A and B. They do not see the shared disks and files on the other. The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with Service Pack 3, n ° 76477-OEM-0015717-31545.

    When I ran the program ipconfig on each a said computer specification that IP routing is not enabled. See the configuration below. IP routing must be enabled in order to have connectivity?

    Hello

    The display is OK. The routing setting this isOoff is not relevant in your case.

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

    Configure all of the computers to share files and you have a network Lcall.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer?

    Hi all;

    I'm a newbie in the sharing of storage.
    Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer? Computer sees SAN disks as local drives, NAS drives as network drive, even if they are all connected to the computer by the same network topology.
    I knew that SAN uses the block level transfer to transfer data all in SIN use level file transfer. Is that what this has something to do with which SAN and NAS drives are recognized differently by the computer? If so, how?

    Thank you.

  • tape drive sharing between ndmphost and admin server usnig osb.

    Hello.
    It is available to share the tape drive between san usnig adminserver and ndmphost the switch?
    We have 6 lto5 disks and will be attached to the machine oracle ss7420 NDMP.
    The customer site has no backup of the customer unless the nas data.

    Reason why I'm asking as OSB catalogdb to tape drive backup.
    Is it safe to admin osb catalogdb backup as client or tape drive sharing is available?

    Another issue is that when we set up unit NDMP, NDMP host can control robot or robot control should assign to the server administrator or the two availble?

    Thank you.

    Yes it's available by design. You have to configure the NAS with the role of mediaserver and add a 2nd point of attachment to the device. You can then create calendars that limit to those fixing points. Allows you to share all the drives between all media servers.

    For the robot, I let the server admin to do that, just tape devices were mapped to the time. Controlling Robotics is a light enough task.

    Here is an example of one of my setups where the drive is shared between several media servers, Oracle Linux 4, Linux 5 Oracle and NetApp

  • Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

    Hello

    I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

    (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

    (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

    Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

    I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

    Hello

    My laptop froze this morning and so I stopped it when restarting it however, I received the message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", what it means?

    I didn't not get discs with the laptop, or have I made the recovery discs. The instruction manual says to press f8 when I restart and go to "menu of advanced start", but it doesn't matter. Where should I go from here, is there a program I can download that would have this disc? All my work on the computer will be lost?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello

    He looks at the HARD drive died and so the laptop can not boot from the HARD drive but request disk bootable.
    But to be sure, you need to access the BIOS (press F2) and check if the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS.
    If it s not recognized, then you need a new HARD drive.

    The recovery disc can be ordered here:
