Sleep/hibernate without stopping process VM

In the debugging Windows driver to test State power (standby/power hibernation) transitions. But after a processing power state transition, VMware saves the State of the virtual machine and puts an end to a process virtual machine (vmware - vmx.exe). The curriculum vitae, VMware starts a new VM process so a kernel-mode debugger (I use WinDbg) must re-connect to it to retrieve messages from debugging. Since a pipe emulating the virtual computer COM port is deleted upon termination of the VM and created again to start the virtual computer, I have to manually force the debugger to restore the link. But unlike a boot normal virtual machine which can be delayed with bios.bootDelay, has no way to delay the start of the virtual machine of the sleep/hibernation state. So the debugger generally does not correctly connects to a first time, I re - connect two or even three times and some debug messages are lost.

Is there a way to place a virtual computer to sleep/hibernate without termination process VM State and restore the State of work without restarting process?

I use Workstation 8.0.6 but could be upgraded to a newer version if it has the required functionality.

Hi emusic.

For S3 sleep, try to add to the virtual machine configuration:

chipset.onlineStandby = 'TRUE '.

Who should keep the process vmware - vmx.exe current execution when the guest passes S3, which I would expect would to your serial port stay connected throughout the cycle sleep.

Our virtual machines do not implement S4 Hibernation.

See you soon,.

  • Is it possible to change the process without stop instances?

    Now I learn Oracle BPEL v10.1.3.1.0 and try to do some things.
    If I change and deploy processes with the same version, BPEL PM stops process instances.
    Is it possible to change the process without stop instances?

    Once a process is instantiated, it can only get completed if you do not have to redeploy this process while the instance is running. If you redeploy the process, then running instances are killed at halfway.

    If the server were to pick up the changes when the process was running then there will be serious code integrity problems. You don't want a half of the process runs with the old code and the other half with the new code. Therefore, it is not possible to have an ongoing process to pass versions of code midway.

  • [4.0 AI2] Without stopping at the points of stop/does any debugger

    When running the debugger in SQL Developer is the debugger immediately connects then disconnects after executing the code WITHOUT stopping at breakpoints or the debugger crashes and only what I choose is to end or for a break.

    The first question that happens much more frequently. I'm trying to debug a procedure in a package where the there are several breakpoints in the code, including at the beginning. After checking my tables in which the procedure is on before and after running the debugger, I can see that the data has been changed so that the debugger ran through the process and run the code without stopping. I have checked the very simple code where the code of breakpoint was called and had the same result.

    Some basic questions.

    Have you compiled for debug?
    Certainly are breakpoints on lines of code? He has had problems in the past where line numbers are off by one that looks like code is actually a blank line, or a statement.  Try several breakpoints on consecutive lines to be sure.

    You can also set the preference tools |  Preferences | Debugger | Start debugging Option to ' get in '.  That should be limited to the first executable line.

  • PCI-6601 reading pulse without stop the meter

    Hi, the problem seems to be simple, just for the moment that I did not came up with a reasonable solution. I'm programming the meter 6601 for the following using my own routines of driver (in visual studio 2008 C++) for read/write registers. I follow carefully the DDK examples. I started with the example 1 and 4, and it works very well and now I have to somehow come up with the following code:

    1. I use the signal specific to 10 MHZ external H. MAser as input to the meter.

    2. I start the meter with arm software and am constantly read the values of the counter.

    3. I want everything just to read a single pulse (1PPS) and make the absolute time of the counter in time synchronization UTC. He should simply give me the meter reading of the rising edge of the PPS signal but after that it should be possible to read the counter as usual by reading the save save values, so read pps without stopping, nor anything in the registers of meter loading or b, simply give a pulse reading and continue even as 2...

    Any suggestions?

  • Disabling update the configuration file without stopping the VI

    I would like to perform a function that when the new modules are added in the existing system of the public Service or hot swapping modules autour, the VI can update its configuration file. I don't want the VI to stop we will collect data 24/7.

    I use cFP2220 and two or three modules of different types. I have my work VI and it is fairly straightforward FP read.vi in a time loop. All data are stored in the database using the Labview database tool. My screws are hosted on the local PC, not on the controller. I'm using Labview 8.6.

    I guess I have to get the file configuration (iak), whenever new modules are added, the iak file can be changed (without MAX aperture). In any case, I would have the flexibility to run the VI continuous. I know there is a similar code here: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3221and they get the configuration file in the ini file. But I don't know how it's done as I can save only the configuration file as a file iak for FP system.

    Another potential problem associated with that, I guess, is the database format. For now, I use a three column structure, i.e., DateStamp, value and ChannelID. In this case, if I want to add/remove/swap channels, I can just change the ID of the corresponding channel. What happens if I have a horizontal arrangement of the database, namely 10 columns corresponding to 10 sensors, would he be in trouble if I change channels modules?

    Thank you very much.

    There is a way to change the module and programmatically updated the IAK file without stopping the VI.  You will need to change the FP read.vi front right by with the constant e/s FieldPoint.  You will need to use the Open FP, FP create Tag, read FP, and close to the public Service.  The trick to this is that you must pre-create files IAK in MAX first.  The way to do is to set up your cart in a configuration and then find devices to MAX.  Then save the iak.  Then reorganize your bottom of basket to the next setting would have desired, then have MAX find devices and who save in a file different iak.  You will need to do this for each configuration you have.  Then, you need to place the code below when you want to Ministry the configuration file.  I have also included a screenshot of MAX that you can see what the strings are correlated with.

    Hey Al-Shamim,.

    Looks like a problem with the start of the hybrid.

    As a work around you can disable this option by following this guide: How to disable hybrid startup and shutdown in Windows 8. There is probably a misreading of the 'hiberfile." To correct it, you can try a system reset, restore or completely refresh the PC.

    You can find these steps here: How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC. Try to reset as it resets the Windows settings that may fix the problem, then try first restore if necessary, then the update.

    I hope this works for you!

  • Clean shutdown for EqualLogic PS6100 without stopping the host/iSCSI initiator

    In fact, I've known the procedure on how to stop the Equallogic PS storage. But I have a question as well as the procedure.

    Do you really need to stop the iSCSI initiator or the host connected to the storage before you shut down the storage controller?

    Because we move the Equallogic box on the rack on the other. I just want to stop the Equallogic without stopping the hosts.

    Hello

    The hosts are connected to some other storage that you want to keep as you move the table EQL?  If you stop the storage, it is similar to pulling on a hard drive in its operation.  Most of the time nothing bad will happen.  But all entries that did not allow the storage is lost.   For applications such as SQL or Exchange is not something you want.

    If you need to keep the server up, stop all applications accessing the volumes, then disconnect all EQL volumes first, and then stop the EQL table.  Will be served waiting for the written word.

    Nice day

    I think you can do, but I just want you to...

    I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 guest configured with two partitionsOS partition on C: and an application on D: partition, each of them points to virtual disk files entirely separate. I want to expand the D: drive and partition without stopping the server. I think I can add to the size of the virtual disk associated D: through the properties of the client without stopping the server. Then the Windows disk management I can expand the size of the partition associated with D: without stopping the server because the guest operating system has been isolated in C:

    Is this the case?

    Yes, you will be able to do on the fly. Windows Server 2008 supports also go them to extend the OS disk.

  • So dead computer battery died. Why the computer is not put in Hibernate or stop safely on its own?

    It must be a problem with Vista. When my computer battery runs out, my computer dies. Why is it not computer smart enough to know the battery died about to close?  When I used XP, the computer would Hibernate protection itself. With Vista, I get a warning that the battery is almost dead, but most of the time I don't get any warnings, the matrices of the computer. Because he died, when I restart the computer, 9 of 10 times I get an error message and several varying options to start in safe mode to start normally.  The other tenth, the computer takes about 20 minutes to get back to normal, sometimes I even to restore the computer to a previous backup. Its been getting worse lately, these last 2 months. When the computer was new 1.8 years ago, I never had to restore when the computer was turned off.
    From the beginning, I returned the computer to bridge and when I came back, they did something that until now I know.  The computer is always went cold Turkey when the battery was missing. Recently, I thought of the situation and realized that it wasn't a gateway problem but a problem with the operating system.

    I'm wrong, it of a Vista problem and shouldn't the computer hibernate or sleep instead of just trying to die and lose everything?

    Make sure that your power options are set correctly:

    Place your mouse over the the battery icon on the taskbar and right click.
    Select "Power Options".

    According to the plan used on your computer, click on "Change Plan settings".

    Click on "change power avancΘs."

    Scroll down and expand the entry for the battery.
    Expand "critical battery Action.
    Make sure it is set to Hibernate or sleep, you like (Hibernate allows you to Exchange batteries without data loss).
    Expand "Critical battery level" and set the battery level at which this action take place (5-7% usually leaves enough power to go in hibernation).

    Click on 'Ok '.
    Once the laptop goes into hibernation, not to interrupt the process by removing the battery until the light on the hard drive and all the other lights stop flashing and power down. Once they have fed completely down (may take a few minutes) you can exchange the batteries safely. To wake up from hibernation, press and release the power (once) button. Function of various factors, your laptop can take 1 to 5 minutes to return to the login screen, although usually, it will be one or two minutes, not five.
    Please let us know if this is not the problem.

  • Vista and sleep/hibernate implementation

    My computer laptop compaq work properly since last year.   In the last two weeks he has stopped responding to orders to wake from sleep mode.  If it is for more than 10 minutes the screen becomes white and that's the last you will see of it.  The only way to restart is to hold the power button and force quit, and then restart.  Display warnings to stop and a normal restart can be accomplished.

    I put "sleep" mode in power FOREVER advanced options and mode of hibernation forever - because this has never been a problem in the past do not know why he should have started now.

    Hello msperry,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Try following the steps in this article:

    System restore points are created automatically when the following occur:

    • When you install a new application or driver.
    • When you uninstall or install some programs.
    • When you install new updates
    • Automatically on a daily interval
    • Manually by creating a.
    • If you choose to use system restore to restore to a previous restore point, System Restore creates a new restore point before you restore a previous state in case something goes wrong. If you are restoring to a previous state in Mode without failure, a restore point will create for the current state.

    So that the restoration of the system to work, you must have 300 MB of free space for each hard disk that monitors the system restore. System Restore will also use up to 15% of disk space on each disk that it monitors. That hard disk space runs out, older restore points will be deleted as newer ones. It is also important to note that you must be logged in as an administrator in order to use the system restore. Now that you understand the basics of the system restore, you must continue to the next section to learn how to use it.

    Restore Windows Vista to a previous state

    In the case of a problem on your computer that cannot be solved by normal means, you can restore your computer to a previous working state. To do this, you need to start restoring the system so that you can choose the restore point to restore. If you currently have Windows Vista boot problems, you can use the system restore in Windows recovery environment. Instructions on how to do it in this tutorial can be found: System Restore using the Windows Vista recovery environment.

    If you can connect to Windows Vista, you must follow these steps.

    1. Close and save any documents that you have opened.
    2. Click the Start button to open your Start Menu. The Start button looks like this:
    3. When the Start Menu open click on the menu option all programs.
    4. Click once on the Start Menu Accessories group.
    5. Click once on the System Tools Start Menu group.
    6. Click once on the icon of the system restore. After you click the icon, if a user account control window opens, click on the button continue.

    You will now be on the screen as shown below in Figure 1 system restore. From this screen, you can specify the restore point that you want to restore.

    1 screen of system restore

    By default, Vista will be already selected the restore recommended option. This restore point is one followed a new pilot program, or update has been installed.

    Manual creation of Restore Points

    As mentioned previously, it is also possible to create manual restore depending on points. Some popular designs to create manual restore points are when you have your computer configured perfectly and I would save the State in case of problems in the future. To create a manual restore point, you must follow these steps:

    1. Click the Start button to open your Start Menu. The Start button looks like this:
    2. Click on the control panel menu option.
    3. Click the option menu system and Maintenance.
    4. Click on the system menu option.
    5. Click on the System Protection in the list on the left.

    You will now be at the System Protection tab in the system control panel. This tab allows you to enable and disable the system restore as well as making the new manual restore points.

    8. the System Protection tab

    To create a manual restore point, you must click on the button create. When you press this button a prompt asking you to give a title to this manual restore point.

    9. Enter the manual restore point title

    Type a title for the manual restore point and press the button create. Vista will now create a restore point manually and once finished, post a notice that it was created successfully.

    10. Manual restore point has been created

    Now that you have finished doing the manual restore point, you can close the system window.

    This should solve your problem.

  • Windows 8 black screen after Login or the wake from sleep / hibernate and flickering screen

    Hello

    I have something of a nightmare with my desktop computer running Windows 8 x 64.

    I did a bit of cleaning, unplug all cables, etc. and then reconnected everything later.

    Since then, I've known the following questions: -.

    After starting and going through the connection, I am faced with a black screen.  The monitor turns on, but there is no pointer.  However, if I clicked at random, it would open a Windows App out of the splash screen, which would then become visible.  If I moved the mouse to the bottom left, to get the splash screen, he would immediately go black screen on me.  He seemed to be refusing to display the splash screen.

    With "display" black screen, I found I could get the Task Manager (Ctrl, Alt, Del) upward and there could access the desktop.  It would then execute as usual, but if I let it go into hibernation or even just having the power of the screen down, it would be black screen again, and I have to use the 'trick' Task Manager to retrieve the desktop computer.

    Sometimes, using the Manager tasks does not always, because he'll sweep between the black screen and the desktop, alternating every 5-6 seconds.  I found through the process from the Task Manager, it stops doing this.

    Now, I did a Windows 8 regenerate, without any change in the problems.  I made sure the AMD drivers have been completely updated (they were) and also physically checked all cables and cables are properly connected and the GPU / RAM etc are properly placed.

    There is no error message displayed at any time. I have also disabled Fast Boot, nothing helps.

    I examined a faulty monitor, but it worked fine for an hour or two at a time, until I got let go sleep or put into hibernation, and I'm at square one.  It would of course be a faulty GPU, or even a PSU failure, but I'm not convinced the symptoms are pointing to them.

    For me, the fact it does not display the Windows 8 start screen after that Login or Wake Up is important.  It makes me think that Windows may interfere with the display in some way?

    I can, if necessary, provide DXDIAG etc, and I "m hoping someone will have an idea of what goes wrong.  I have spent ages going through Google and others, but cannot find a solution to my problem.

    Thanks for any help or suggestion you may have.

    Conrad.

    It solved!  Traded my monitor cable and all problems solved.  Guess he had a break or something in one of the lines.

    Thanks anyway.
