Small Noob Question - multiple snapshots

VMware Server 2 using the Web interface to manage my VMs, I see the following commands under the snapshot:

Take a snapshot

Go back to the snapshot

Remove the snapshot

I took several shots.  but when choosing to go back to the snapshot, it is only up to the last snapshot.  Also withdrawal snapshot deletes the last snapshot.  Is it not possible to have multiple snapshots in this version of VMWare? TIA!

VMware Server 1 and 2 have only the ability to 1 snapshot.  (A limitation of design from the beginning.)  If you need multiple snapshots, you must change for ESX (i) or workstation (or merge if you have a Mac).

  • Noob question: Playbooks all have the same performance?

    I know... noob question. I am to complete my first game PlayBook and before I submit the app store I wanted to make sure that hardware performance will be the same on all the playbook or will it be something because of the performance issues on a per-device basis? I hope that this will be similar to a console where you can expect stable performance. THX.

    All devices (currently) work the same in the same conditions.

    That does not mean, however, that you can treat it as a console.  A console runs only a game and nothing else (in general).

    The PlayBook can run multiple applications, and among other things, a user can 'Behavior of the Application' setting configuration Mode Showcase, default, or standby, what determines if your application runs or stops when it is idle.  If they are in window mode, they may have other things at the same time.

    To a first approximation, however, "even in the world" is probably correct, for now.  Don't forget there will be different tablets in the future, with specification different but compatible with your app... not quite like a console there where many games is basically orphaned (or requires a port) when a new generation comes out.

  • Take a multiple snapshot of different VM´s

    Hello

    Anyone got a script to take different VM´s. example multiple snapshots when you windows patch id like to snapshot slected vm´s before applying the patch.

    Concerning

    Christer S

    Hi Chrsun02,

    "is it a medium esay to ad a function report to the commnad.

    Please tell more that you want to report on

    "im"wishing to' an easy way to get rid of stereotypes when I know that servers is ok. "

    Right, so before patching, you created snapshots for some virtual machines, and gave you the name of the snapshot for this purpose.

    for example

    Get - vm testgk | New-cliché - memory: $false - suspend: $false-name "testsnapshot001" - Description "my snapshot test patch before.

    on my vm testgk, I created the new snapshot with the name "testsnapshot001" for this pupose

    now I want to remove it

    Get - vm testgk | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

    So I have vm testgk query, ask this virtual machine snapshots that have name testsnapshot001, and then delete the snapshot.

    If you have created snpahosts for more virtual machines give their name separated by a ",".

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Remove-Snapshot

    If you're sure you didn't any what other snapshots you can omit this part?: {$_. Name - eq "testsnapshot001"}

    so in the end, you would write:

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot

    If you don't want to answer the question confirmation add - confirm: $true

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

    If you want to specify vms not with names but with location:

    Get-cluster "my_cluster01" | get - vm | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot - confirm: $true

    If you want to get a report for snapshots:

    Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    So it will go through all of the virtual machines, instant advertising with the name: testsnapshot001 and display its name, date, name of the virtual machine

    Get - vm | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    VM name CreatedOn name
    ----                                         -------                                 ---------
    testsnapshot001 testgk 21/08/2012 14:09:47

    And even once on the line will interview all machines virtual registerd in vc. If you want to check only for some more specific:

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot? {$_.name - eq "testsnapshot001"} | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    or

    Get - vm "vm1', 'vm2', 'vm3 | Get-Snapshot | Select the name of name,@{N='VM'; {E = {$_.vm}}, @{N = "CreatedOn"; E={$_. Created}}

    to query all snapshots there and not only those that have been made for the purposes of the application of patches

    OR!

    a dirty, quick control for VMS with snapshots in general:

    Notice-EEG - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"snapshot" = ""} | Select name

    I would like to know if it works for you.

    Kind regards

  • Question about snapshots and virtual machines

    Hi all

    I have a small question about snapshots. I use VMware for about 6 months and I read about snapshots and how they work but still have a question to make sure that I understand how it works and it will work the way I think it works.

    I have a Windows 2003 server, which is a virtual machine. I have an application that uses MSDE database. I want to upgrade the database to MS SQL 2005, but to do this I need to back up the MSDE database, uninstall MSDE, and then install SQL 2005 and move the SQL database. This happens on the same VM.

    What I was thinking if I well Snapshots correctly is to snap turned the virtual machine before doing anything. Then do my upgrade steps and see if everything works. If its all messed up so I should be able to return to my shot and everything should be the way he had. What is the good? One of the main reasons I moved the server VM was because of this upgrade.

    After reading the documentation for the snapshots, it's how I undestood it. Pretty much any change could be reversed with snapshots. I wish just they had put in a few examples in the PDF file. Also it would be the same for all type of grades of the OS? Could I snapshot a Windows 2000 Server, and then "in the upgrade of the square" to Windows 2003? I've cloned a VM to do this but was curious about whether snapshots would be just as easy.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello.

    That is right.

    After reading the documentation for the snapshots, it's how I undestood it. Pretty much any change could be reversed with snapshots. I wish just they had put in a few examples in the PDF file.

    Exactly the same thing for the upgrades of the OS.

    Perhaps the most important thing with the snapshots is to keep an eye on them and don't let them sit too long or become too big.  You have described the use cases are very good uses for snapshots.  Just make sure you have a solid plan with a schedule set, so that you can come back or validate changes before the snapshot becomes too large.

    Good luck!

  • Noob question: autonomous AIR .bar files?

    Sorry for the noob question, yet to learn these things from the air. When we create a .bar file, it is the only file position, does it include the runtime air, flash, etc, etc, or is it always require an accumulation of air / flash runtimes on the device? THX.

    The .bar file does not include the time of execution because the runtime is already preinstalled on the Playbook.

    Air is really integrated into the PlayBook so you don see the difference between a native app or an Air application.

  • NooB question: Cup titles and a schedule of transfer

    Let's say I have tons of tracks.  In the Middle, I find I want to firm up a few seconds of footage.  I can cut, or delete the clip, but I still have to select all the following clips and make sure they move upward.  There must be a smarter way of removing a few seconds of footage and moving upward?

    Sorry for the noob question, I searched on google and didn't know what to look for.  I am open for more information that can help me to tighten my research thus.  See you soon.

    The answer will probably depend on more factors:

    Are there in your Timeline, Clips above the area of the Clip you want to Trim?

    What you want to happen to those?

    Are you only concerned to "strengthen" the Clips on the same video track where you cut, or Clips on other tracks video too?

    It is likely that the tool Edit Ripple, or Rt-click and Ripple delete, will do what you want, but who can count on the other Clips on other tracks, and video that you need.

    Good luck and please let us know a little more.

  • D.I. box noob question

    Hi all

    Sorry for the noob question, but I need something clear up if possible. I was about to buy a box for injection and then had a query on them, and if I actually could benefit in this scenario...


    Fig 1. is how I currently record.

    Fig 2. is how I would do it with di direct box

    diag.jpg

    My question is... in this configuration, the d.i. box would make a difference to the signal? or he would only make a difference if I was going to live guitar to box, the sound card?

    Thank you for all your help.

    In my opinion you have basically three alternatives for the recording of the guitar:

    1. get an amp excellent sound, recording with a microphone, or more, in a room of good survey.

    Challenges: you'll probably need a studio proper, or at least no neighbours, because it could become LOUD. It takes time and experience of mike a good amp and even microphones expensive (several). Result depends on the acoustics of the room more than you think.

    Another way here, is to get/build an isolation area around your amp, which will be a kind of micro studio for it, allowing you to play hard and with a good tone, but in a more controlled environment. Many advantages for this make. Unfortunately, the expense can also be 'pro' - but I don't know there are DIY solutions.

    2. record of the amp 'dry' via either its line (send FX will also) or use a ' soaking power allowing you to put the amp (some sounds so much better AMPS), but with a low volume in the room. You can connect the device of soaking directly, or give the speaker the "tame" signal and mike the amp without disturbing the neighbors that it now. Good power soaks don't come cheap (?). Dry recording, for example by not using mike, often sounds like this: dry. It depends on your style of music, but an electric guitar should probably be considered an acoustic instrument. Instead of a diaphragm in wood, it has a speaker. The sound, often, we want to achieve is an amp of good sounding in a good room, which is an acoustic sound. You simply cannot get to an exit row or direct to a soaking of output power (not president). He needs treatment.

    3 use a program like GuitarRig, Amplitube etc. No installation required, regardless of the size of the room and acoustic sound (except that the acoustics of the room always will affect listening!) or mike. The software simulates the amps, effects and even mic configurations; added the "airplane" that you will not get a direct connection. Once again, according to your style. If I were Bill Frisell or Jim Hall, i.e. anyone with an as most of their music very "naked" guitar sound, I probably does (but these guys have access to the great engineers too...), but in a pop idom / mixed rock with other instruments and certainly to do demos, that's actually what I would recommend. Especially for us space challenged who have neighbors and an infinite time either. No, you will not look like 'all the world'; It's garbage in French - garbage out as always (many are disappointed by the present, but some are happy, it is always the case)

    All you need is a sound card with an instrument of entry. If you have a * good * sound card already who is not entered instrument, you can consider a DI box. Otherwise I'd say it's redundant.

  • Small question of snapshot.

    I took a snapshot of my BES before update the Domino server on it, now, it works very well so to clean simply remove the snapshot from the Snapshot Manager, or are there other places, that I need to remove the snapshot? (Like on my SAN himself or the snap shot Manager take care of all this for me?)

    I've attached a screenshot of it.

    I guess "go to" restores back me before I did my upgrade of the Domino, so to stay where I am, I simply remove the option 'avant.8.5.1 '.

    Remove the snapshot will be no impediment on the client, who is actively running or it will be transparent?

    Thank you!

    you want to "delete or erase everything."  Go to come back is back in the State was before the upgrade.  Commit a snapshot can be very intensive disk 1/O, so if you can do both that your Domino server is not so busy, it would be ideal.

  • Slide quiz - question Multiple choice problem

    Hello

    I am on Captivate 7 on Windows 7.

    A small question about the multiple choice question type 7 of Captivate. I would like to if you answer correctly, you jump on a blade of some, and if you answer correctly, you jump to another slide. The part of the correct answer of it works fine, but when I do not answer correctly it doesn't. Indeed, I do jump to the slide, I want to, but when I come back to the question, the options are grayed out and I can't try the question again. If I change the attempts I can retry the question but I do not jump to the other slide before which I want.

    So when the contestant answer correctly I would that he accesses a page that says "you have answered correctly, click here to learn more about the subject." The participant then jump to a slide explaining the domain issue and after that, the participant gets to try the question again. This part does not work for me. I jump to the slide, I want to, but can not try the question again or I can retry the issue but not go to slide I want before.

    I hope you understand what I mean.

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards

    Patrik

    Google for more information about a function later and the Captivate 6 called remediation.  There are some Youtube videos about it online.

    Basically you gives access to a slide after failing to a question and then have the default action for a button on the slide to jump you the same question for another free attempt.

  • noobie question about 2 guest OS and virtual HARD disk 1

    I want to know if this is possible and what possible impact, it may cause, as appropriate.

    Set up:

    2 Guest OS in VMware, both using different drives virtual of course since you cannot use the same operating system file invited on multiple instances.

    Then I set up another virtual HARD drive, lets call it SharedMyDrive, and this HARD drive will contain all my data and programs.

    Can I do both guest OS use this SharedMyDrive? (Should be possible with the options of parameters allowing to add more hard drives) but then my question is; How are the data in this manipulated shared HARD drive?

    If I turn both the OS and both of them make changes in SharedMyDrive, it's just a matter of who makes changes that records everything first? It would cause windows errors such as messages "this file is already in use" if I try to delete a file on OS1, but its use in OS2?

    In order to use shared storage, you need an operating system that is aware of this and handle it correctly. ESXi is an example of such operating system. Access to the same storage operating system that cannot manage shared access causes data corruption.

  • questions about snapshot

    (my first post here... Please let me know if this isn't in the right place)


    I have a few questions on the snapshot after reading a bunch of KB articles:


    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1025279

    -Don't use any single snapshot for more than 24 to 72 hours.

    Most of my live pictures for a long time and I have not noticed any problems. I do not understand why such suggestion.


    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1013163

    ' In this example, the process took about 64 seconds... ". »

    This sounds like the take a snapshot on a production server might be a risky company is - it true?


    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003302

    -I see that consolidate you option on vSphere and it also indicates if a virtual machine needs it or not, but what are the criteria? I understand that if you take a snapshot, the content of the link delta gets grouped in the parent disk, but when should you do consolidate without deleting?

    When you create a snapshot, a delta VMDK is created for each VMDK. These delta VMDK can grow bigger as size put into service of the VMDK. The problems are to have a free space on data warehouses. The longer a snapshot around, he can take to commit the changes when you remove it. In addition, to commit the changes, you must have enough free space on the data store equal space in service of the virtual machine itself.

    I saw snapshots is damaged after staying close to a lot of time. In addition, the more instant stored with a virtual machine, more corruption risks.

    I manipulated the environments with lots of snapshots and it was rough. I had the VMs is damaged and must be restored from backups on a regular basis.

    I avoid them when I can.

    Backup software is a better choice. As Veeam!

  • Choice questions multiple question IS NOT part of the quiz?

    Hello, all.

    Another newbie question.

    I have a few multiple choice questions and some short answers that I want to work as an interaction, rather than be part of the project questionnaire. (I have a quiz 10 questions T/F, which is classified and a score of 80% is required.)

    So in other words, on the multiple choice answers and short, I don't have to reported responses - and more importantly, if a person fails the T/F test and resume, I don't want that they have ALSO take multiple choice and short answers.

    Is it possible to do this?

    I guess the short answer questions can only be implemented with text entry areas, Yes?

    But what about multiple choice questions? Any way to get them, but exclude to the quiz itself?

    Hope this is clear. Thanks for any help you can give!

    Keith

    I never use the default short answer question, not even when I want to be marked. Take a look at: Custom short answer Question - Captivate blog

    Use the radio buttons or checkboxes interactions, you can create a custom QUIZ question.

    You can also use the default QUIZ question, but indicate that the score should not be added to the total score. ATTENTION: some system quiz variables as the number of questions (used in the progress indicator) will always be count these questions. And will go to the first question, only added to the score or not. There is a solution for that as well.
