Snapshot of the guest

• Get the guest OS unusable slow after a few hours / after restoring a snapshot

  Running an early 2009 Mac Pro with 10 GB of RAM, 2.66 Quad-Core Intel Xeon CPU, OS X 10.10.2. 7.1.1 the merger.

  I have a question where a guest OS I am running under Fusion will get inevitably unusably slow after that it worked for a while. Usually what happens is when I start the system, everything works well, and then after an hour or two, it will start running very slowly. Very basic operations like moving a window all about take a few seconds to complete, and I can see the screen slowly updated the window moves. Another example is by clicking on a menu in the menu bar might take several seconds for the menu even start drawing, and then a few seconds more for what it ends and during this time where the BONE is otherwise unresponsive. Essentially, the interaction of basic with the operating system is very difficult. If I stop the operating system and then start it back up again, it will resume performing normally for another hour or two.

  If I record a snapshot of a system and restore later, usually (but not always) will trigger to poor performance and I have to completely farm the guest operating system and start again it upward to fix.

  This happens regardless of which is the guest operating system. I did experience in OS X 10.6 - 10.9, Windows XP and Windows 7 32 - bit and 64 - bit.

  So far, I tried affecting versions material of these VMs to 10, as was recommended in other threads I've found to fix this exact problem. However, it is not fix things for me.

  Does anyone have an idea, what the problem? I'm quite like merger so far, more Parallels, but with this question, it is very difficult for me to get work done. I hope it can be resolved.

  Thanks in advance!

  I had the same problem since V7 came out.   At one point, from 1 hour to 7 days, all my virtual machines would slow to a crawl.   The only solution was to close all, vmware close and restart.   I spent months to fine-tune different settings.

  I did a few manual tweaks after searching on the net and see some common parameters which have been recommended.   After 4 to 6 weeks, my problem has not reappeared.   I don't know which of these parameters has solved my problem, but you can give them a try.   I don't have an SSD if you may or may not want to use the virtualSSD parameter according to your configuration.

  The settings that I have added are:

  mainMem.backing = 'swap '.

  scsi0:0.virtualSSD = 1

  MemTrimRate = '0 '.

  sched.mem.pshare.Enable = "FALSE".

  MemAllowAutoScaleDown = "FALSE".

  As usual, save your vm and use at your own risk.  They have worked very well for me so far, but each installation is different.

• Snapshot before resizing the guest OS system partition, it will allow me to roll back if problems arise?

  I currently have an ESXi Server vsphere 4.0 with Windows 2003 Server comments on that operating system. And just to be clear, this virtual machine is a control area on the network.

  The problem I have is that the system partition (C drive on the guest operating system) is running out of room. I have plenty of room in the data store where the virtual machine, so I added 30 GB drive under disk space commissioning in additional virtual machine settings page. The configuration type is thick. So everything seems to work great so far, I see this space as unallocated within the guest OS.

  After some research, I found several tools that help me to inresizing the system partition to take advantage of the additional disk space. Specifically, I intend to use the dell (ExtPart) DiskExt utility to resize the partition in order to reduce downtime. Apparently, this tool works without restarting the Windows machine.

  My question is, if I make a snapshot before you try to resize the partition of guest operating system, this would allow me to go back and cancel any potential damage that resizing of disk can cause? I understand that I expected to be able to undo a change such as this with a snapshot, I just want to be 100% sure.

  And no, I'm not trying to use a snapshot as a substitute for a backup. I do a snapshot to reduce downtime in case of a problem.

  Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

  I guess I over thought the process a little too, so I tested.  Works like a charm.  extended to the HDD via the vSphere Client, created a snapshot, ran extpart extend drive C:, delete the snapshot.  VM, although not a controller domain and just a test VM, is functional and happy.

• I made a disk defrag on the guest computer and now VM won't start

  Hi, I stupidly done a disk defrag on the guest computer and now VM won't start. I have attached the log files you. Please help me.

  Post edited by: a.p. - the moderator Note: branched out in a new discussion

  This can make things more difficult depending on the current state of the virtual machine.

  What you should do at this point - unless already done--is to backup/copy of files of all VM to ensure that you have a way to go back if things don't work as expected. The next step is to find out if it is possible to free up space on the D: drive, so that the virtual machine does not have to be moved (move the files could be unnecessary snapshots). If there is enough free space on the disk, use the file attached configuration (.vmx) to replace the damaged one. Ensure that VMware Workstation or at least tab of the virtual machine is closed when you do this to ensure that the replaced .vmx file is reread. If things work with the replaced files, consider deleting snapshots that you no longer need. This will not release disk space only, but can also improve the performance of the virtual machine.

• Snapshots and the use of the disc

  By committing a snapshot on a virtual computer, is there some risks involved if your free space inside the guest OS is low more than if you have a lot of space?

  No - snapshot records the delta replaces the blocks in the virtual disk - so how much space is available inside the virtual disk has no effect

• How to make a thin app to host on the guest virtual computer

  How can I run the host on the guest computer thinApp?  If I run on the host computer thinApp will not just take a snapshot of the host?  How to use a virtual machine created by workstation to run?

  Another part to this question is, if the initial snapshot has already application thinApp on the computer and/or other programs so theoretically, they should not be included in the compilation, right?

  That is right.  In this scenario, your package will work only if the same version of Java is installed in the same way on your target machines.  It's OK in my opinion if your environment had a solid a standard desktop where you can count on this version of Java to be present already.  Tests to ensure it works of course are always recommended before going to production.

  You lose some of the benefits of application virtualization because all dependencies are not encapsulated more.  The compromise is that this package could break down the road if Java changes on your workstations.  Each environment is different, so it is up to you.

• How to remove the guest on Macbook Air user account

  My 13 year daughter, uses the internet recklessly and I need to close the guest account, because my parental control does not seem to work. Even though I've taken away the guest user option in system preferences, it restarts the computer so that she can use safari. Can anyone help?

  Just how did you "took the guest user option in system preferences '?

  Did you go to system preferences > users and groups and click on the padlock at the bottom left and enter the admin password to allow edits then click the guest account and uncheck the checkbox allow clients to connect to this computer?

  Parental control is not / cannot apply to the guest account.

  You must have a separate account and then check the box for this account that says: turn on parental control.

• Extreme problem of airport with the guest account

  It drives me crazy! I had the extreme AC router from the airport for a couple of years now. It works perfectly if the guest account is disabled. Whenever I try to enable the guest account access, I have a time very very difficult to connect to this account. The main and guest account are both set to wpa2. When I connect, I get proverbial bells and whistles go telling me airport utility system is set to be implemented via cable wan which decreases the Security (in my own home that is not a problem) and it tells me to put it in bridge not NAT and DHCP mode. If the clipping the guest account value absolutely not allow internet connection. What I am doing wrong?

  The macbook, I am trying to connect is running LION

  What is the brand and model of the modem Internet you have your AirPort Extreme, directly connected by Ethernet?

  If this device is actually a combination modem & router, then your extreme must be configured as a bridge. Guest network does NOT work in Bridge mode.

  New versions of Flash have a sign installed on your system for the control of the settings.

  In Windows XP, start > settings > Control Panel > Flash Player, click each tab and change the setting "ask...". ». Most likely your guests are coming in the tab "storage." By using the parameters of "Block"... "can let Flash on some sites.

• Virus or Trojan or something else that will activate the guest account?

  My computer is very slow, and every time I wake it from sleep I notice that the guest account has been enabled.  So I go into Control Panel and then users and groups and disable the guest account unblocking of the user and groups with my password, remove the check mark beside guest account and lock user accounts.  However, even if I am away from my computer, the check mark next to guest account gets back and the guest account enabled.

  Nobody else uses my computer.  Does anyone know of a Virus, Trojan, Bot, or anything else that might be my computer hijacking.  I have ClamXav, but nothing was found after several scans.  Help please.

  It is not a virus. Viruses don't do that sort of thing.

  Earlier, I think I've found that putting on find my Mac would automatically allow the guest account. Not sure if this is still true today. You can check by turning off to find my Mac, disable the guest account and then verify.

  My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.

  This general situation may be similar to what is mentioned in this sequel to thread of the CSA

  and if the remedy is to use instructions; detailed and I hope they are correct...

  Re: Restart fails after installation of El Capitan help!

  Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can

  See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

  the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.

  You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.

  • OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

  same disc that the Mac OS X section; However if your hard drive is missing, these other

  items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

  on the external storage drives closed; In addition, a Time Machine backup helps to restore.

  Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if

  There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.

  • Make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar
  • Find an Apple authorized service provider
  • https://locate.Apple.com/country - Apple - find places - selector of country (if outside the U.S.)

  Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact

  a service provider authorized Apple, an independent specialist who is qualified in the repair of Apple.

  In any case...

  Good luck & happy computing!
