Snapshot Manager, snapshot merging to parent disk tree

Hi all

first post here, so I hope that I have the right format.

I use vmware player v3.1 to play a virtual machine created by a work of contract on workstation v6 +.

Unfortunately, it was created with the settings as there seems to be multiple vmdk files, and snapshot files. I want to merge snapshots to the parent disk so that I can use vdisk Manager (downloaded vdisk dev kit) to manipulate the disk. After Google search, it seems that I need something called Manager snapshots. I don't think that reader has this tool. where can I get this snapshot Manager? or is there another to do what I need?

TIA!

VMware-vdiskmanager - r "disc - 000001.vmdk" t 0 "consolidated.vmdk".

use full paths - it would create a new drive that is the result of the current snapshot merged parent

  • Recovery Manager is unable to read disk backup files

    Product name:

    HP G56-129WM

    Operating system:

    Windows 7

    I used HP (F11) Recovery Manager to back up my files instead of using Windows backup. The HP Recovery Manager back uped my files on dvd disks 2. Then I restored my laptop to factory settings. When I go to restore my files, it will only go to 40% and then ask me to insert the DISC 2 backup. When I insert the disc, it will fail to read. The disc will eject and I receive a request to insert DISC 2. What is going on?

    Unfortunately all backup HP of grab files, you specify and one bunch of others you really, why I don't know, as HP backup does not restore files to the original location, when restore.exe work (only not in your case), he plunges them correctly just in a folder for you to browse, not not very different from the use of 7 - zip to decompress.

  • How to get all parents of tree node to select

    I have a tree, and when the user clicks on an item in the tree, I want to get all the parents of the selectedItem node.

    So, if I have this XML:

    < Products >
    < item >
    < code > 1001 < / sku >
    < value = "100" / >
    < / point >
    < item >
    < code > 2001 < / sku >
    < value = "250" / >
    < / point >
    < item >
    < code > 3001 < / sku >
    < value = "300" / >
    < / point >
    < / product >

    If the user clicks on the sku 1001, I want to get something like this:

    < Products > < point > < sku >

    Also, if I have a custom component, possibly based on the tree or maybe not, and if this custom component shows the XML real and used can click XML elements or attributes XML, how to use the selected item to get the parent nodes, so if they click the value = "100", I get this:

    < Products > < point > < sku > < quantity >

    I need this because I have a set of fields, and users will drag their attributes or elements of XML node in my fields to define a mapping between the XML and my fields.

    The selectedItem is just a snippet of XML code cut off from its source XMLListCollection and I might be able to search the XMLListCollection, but that if there were say < code > items to more than one level in the XML? I'm guessing that a search may return several hits for a selected item, when I want the real parent to the actual selected node nodes.

    Thank you very much!

  • MD3000i - Windows Disk Manager fails to initialize the disk

    I created the 2nd virtual disk now on our MD3000i - first one installed perfectly on our file & print server.  I don't remember having to do anything on the disk on the server, once I have install the initiator and reboot the server.  But on this server with the new disc, it seems that the virtual disk is not initialized.

    When I try to boot in Windows 2003 R2, I get the following error: "the operation has not completed. Check the event log system for more information on the error".  There is no entry in the system log to show that anything is bad and it doesn't seem to be something wrong with the disc or the connectivity to the server from the SAN.

    Any ideas?

  • Snapshots Veaam do not deleted

    Hi people,

    We use Veaam to back up our virtual machines, we used the VM of as well as Veaam proxy domain controller, guys seem to configure the Veaamto take a back up of this DC too! - do not ask me why am new to the company, but it's how they have it.

    one day this VM DC was turned off and he has refused to be turned, the error was on the CID conflict between snapshots, and the parent disk was changed after a snapshot was taken. I delete all snapshots and the snapshot nursery said that he didn't there is instant not now but it did not help - it was always snapshots in the data store. I managed to fix that by following a KB vmware site to correct the CID, the virtual machine has been lit successfully, and rear working well now.

    now my question is this, the Snapshot Manager shows some snapshots, but if I browse the data store I see two files VMDK-0002 and-0003, and the virtual machine has a warning that he requires a consolidation, when I look at the setting of the virtual machine that it points to one of the snapshots - that's all that scares me! see the screenshots.

    I have read through VMware and Veaam fuorms, and I have seen that this is a common problem and you need to do is create a snapshot can perform a delete all, but honestly not scared to do, basically cause the vmx file is pointing to one of the snapshot,

    So guys Expert can confirm if it is safe to do so and it will not harm the virtual of DC machine? any recommendations and suggestions?

    Good, you need to be really scared at all. I'm here to help you!

    The situation you are in is a common scenario when you have a backup that uses the technology of snapshot for taking backup.

    Please follow the steps below and I assure you that you will have a virtual machine with no snapshots and running with all the current data on it.

    Step 1: right click on the VM, change the settings. --> Disk hard 1--> make a note of the location of the hard drive. Also, take note of the size of the hard drive.

    for example: VMdatastore/testvmfolder/testvm-000003.vmdk.

    Here, the disc is pointing the 3rd snapsot in the chain.

    Step 2: Turning off the virtual computer.

    Step 3: Enable SSH and connect to the host using PuTTY.

    Step 4: Navigate to the folder of the virtual machine where the drive (see step 1 for location)

    CD/vmfs/volumes/VMdatastore/testvmfolder

    Step 5: create a test folder in the directory of the virtual machine.

    # mkdir test

    Step 6: copy the .vmx file in the test folder.

    testvm.vmx CP test

    Step 7: Identify a data store that has a free space as the size of the hard drive found in step 1:

    Step 8: Clone the drive to this place, start by creating a folder in the destination data store and then run the command to create a clone of the disc below:

    vmkfstools-i testvm - 000003.vmdk/vmfs/volumes/destination folder/cloned_disk.vmdk data/new store

    This would strengthen all snapshots in a single cloned_disk.vmdk file at the destination.

    This would require a downtime of the virtual machine.

    If you wish, you can also use a converter to convert the virtual machine on the same host. This would create a clone of the virtual machine.

    Make sure that it is not on the network

    Hope this is informative.

    See you soon,.

  • Removal of old clichés of Snapshot Manager

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my backup solution (GhettoVCB as it is free and works very well), in that he failed to halfway through one day, he left little a snapshot in the local data store that I see in the Snapshot Manager. The backup fails by saying that a snapshot exists. I created a new snapshot and thought this might get around it, but it didn't.

    I want to know is I can delete the snapshot/s in the Snapshot Manager and does not affect the virtual machine? Should I choose 'Delete' on the snapshot I think is causing the problem (the former) or delete both an old and new? I saw so many forums saying do not use "remove all" that you run out of space. so should I just delete one at a time? Hope it makes sense.

    Basically, I want to return to a State of no snapshots and the rear space and I hope that my backup working again.

    See the image below:

    Thank you

    snapshot.jpg

    In this case, I see no problem with the deletion of snapshots. Way the easiest is to open the Snapshot Manager and click on the button 'Clear all', which will merge all snapshots in their basic disks. Because snapshots are very small it should take only a few minutes. This can be done while the virtual machine is running.

  • snapshots and dynamic disks

    All,

    VMware documentation States the following:

    • You can not go back to a snapshot with dynamic disks, so suspended snapshots are not used when you restore dynamic disks. Snapshot technology has no visibility into the dynamic disks. Dynamic disks are generally known as specific files of Microsoft systems.

    Dies of what it means that they are not supported at all, or just suspended snapshots are not supported? What confuses me, is that the snapshot technology has no visibility to dynamic disks.

    Well, that needed to be corrected.

    According to vmware:

    Do not use the VMware snapshots for backup of dynamic disks. If you take a snapshot of a dynamic disk (specific Microsoft file system), you will not be able to go back to the snapshot. Snapshot technology has no visibility into the dynamic disks and is unable to preserve the State of suspend to disk files.

    Read this: VMware vSphere 5.1

    So the overall production is no snapshot will be supported in dynamic disks that the State called 'suspended' will not effect and can not make any changes it all by making the previous snapshot version.

    Hope you guessed it.

    Thank you
