Snapshots are broken now

Hey guys, I'm having a major problem here. With the help of 5.5U1 and last Veeam.

Something three days stuck in a process of Veeam backup and after that all snapshots of tasks of backup created, and then never erased.

So yesterday I discovered SSH to each protected VM veeam production had like 90 delta files and they were not appear in the Snapshot Manager. In addition, 'delete all snapshots' failed. And create the new snapshot failed too. After fiddling around with the restart of management on hosts services and add or remove snapshots, I was able to consolidate most of the snapshot successfully.

However, I always still have some questions, difficult to know:

(1) a very large VM still has a complete chain-deltas attached to one of its VMDK. vCenter offers to "consolidate", but then consolidation fails with "cannot allocate memory". Theres a lot of RAM available on the host, like 100 GB +, and memory-wise, it's a small VM. There are like 0, 8 x the size of the virtual machine to free space on the data store, but as all deltas take about 10 GB combined, I think that this should not be a problem, too. There was a similar problem with a big other VM, but it was resolved by turning off the virtual machine and then consolidate. It does not help down with power on this virtual machine.

Still a bit, I think it's a question of data store space, however I do not see why so much free space would be needed to commit snapshots. Is there any maybe so as to make this file a delta at the same time?

(2) creating new images is now broken. If I try to create a new snapshot of any virtual computer on the hosts involved (even if its engine turned off and no one protected Veeam platoon), it fails with ' a general error has occurred: The delta files are then created, but the pictures do not appear in the Snapshot Manager. However, if I reboot with /etc/init.d/hostd restart management services and restart etc/init.d/vmxa, these shots failed suddenly appear in Manager and work as they are supposed to. And can be removed successfully.

If I try to take a picture once again, it fails with the same error, and the cycle continues.

I tried to restart a server ESXi, but who has done nothing more management restarting services already do. The behavior is the same if I create/delete snapshots in the Web Client via vCenter or if I directly on the host computer in the clish.

I have a suspicion that this is what has caused the problem of Veeam in the first place, given that taking snapshots apparently fails, but it actually happens in the backstage. It's what might be broken and why?

We have not a vmware active support contract, and I think that Veeam guys will say that it is a matter of vmware. I have yet to hear a response, but my experience with them tells me that this is what's going to happen.

So, you're my only hope

Thanks in advance.

OK guys, thanks for your comments, I solved the problem.

#1 has been resolved by restarting the ESXi. After that the command of Consolidation has worked like a charm.

The pile of COW was probably close to being complete before restarting (after two days with 5 virtual machines running with 90 snapshots + each), and that's why the building had failed.

Problem #2 was incredibly obscure. What has caused all this strangeness was disconnected from a NFS data store where a large number of installation ISOs if it is located. It was off just on the NAS, without disassembling correctly vSphere.

It turns out that ALL virtual machines I tried to taking snapshots had an ISO in the CD-ROM set up pointing to the data store. (disconnected, but always present in the config).

So, looks like that ESXi when you have a unavailiable resource in the configuration of the VM. It throws an error that could mean anything at home, then silently with the creation of a snapshot in the background. Crazy...

What has helped me discover this was sweeping the newspaper spend on one of the hosts after he tried to create a snapshot.

Thanks to you two, you certainly have me headed in the right direction!

  • Changes to the model carried over, but not the links on child pages are broken.

    Long story short, its been a while since I worked with sites Web but my church needed someone and asked me to help and to be their Director. I removed a button in the navigation bar on the template and the changes carried forward on the Index but now the child page links are broken. The page can be viewed at Cowboy Church of Jerusalem - Double HH Ranch. What I screw up?

    Looks like your path of the link contains an additional subfolder.  Note the link on the page AboutUs.html.

    Location of the file on the server:

    If resolve you paths to the correct file locations in your Template.dwt it should work.

    Do not forget to save model, populate the changes made to the child pages and download all the pages of the child to the server.

  • How to remove snapshots are deleted?

    Hello

    I have a simple question? Once the connection in the client vSphere and deletion of snapshots via the Snapshot Manager, I see more the snapshot under servers. However, I still see taking them a space of data on the SAN, which is where I got them for.


    The question: How can I delete the snapshots to regain space on the SAN without the servers? I tried to move them before deleting in another folder first to find that the server would not load without them in the same folder as the files from the server, so I had to move their back on the server that I moved to the source so that it can start again. Snapshots are is more listed in the Snapshot Manager but are always on him WITHOUT taking much space I want to return to.

    I was told that vCenter would be able to delete all snapshots of without slot all servers, it's that good, I was told that there is a command option in vCenter which has delete all snapshots of all servers as a command is how delete all snapshots are more listed in the Manager of shapshot that are always in place of data in storage?

    Or y at - it another way to remove unnecessary snapshots of without any servers to start without the old clichés?

    Thank you

  • Images are broken and are not loading duplicate pages?

    Hello

    It's probably a problem really noobish. I worked with happiness on Dreamweaver CS3 all day and had no problems.

    Just went to a new html page and when the copy on Divs and containers that contain images, images are broken, despite the situation does not change. My other pages with the same images show no broken links, no more. If I replace the image with itself, it works, however I have a lot of pictures and they don't always click in the exact spot that I would like, in the first place so copy/paste. The worst it is until I made this page on that it was not broken for everything else I was working!

    I'll have to duplicate the pages instead, which is not really useful.

    I am not trained in coding, I'm a designer and I want to keep this site as simple as possible, as I manage all this. My knowledge is limited to modest amounts of html and CSS.

    Thank you!!

    Below: What the page looks like, highlighting the top div and copying it to the new page, where I paste and it becomes broken.

    Hello, same,

    DW is sometimes somewhat obstinately like a mule, and therefore you must delete your images first and insert them again with the command "insert." If you should have any success with this procedure, please charge to the top of your site, regardless of how it looks like and send us a link to it.

  • snapshots are not 'live' using powercli

    Do not know what is happening, or maybe I'm just something missing. We wrote a few scripts to take snapshots and return machines on our esxi server. The scripts use the PowerCLI. Scenario: set up a group of virtual machines with a particular State (e.g. connected applications that are running, etc.) and take the shot. I want to be able to return to that State. It works fine when I take a snapshot using VSphere client GUI... take a snapshot, back to him, the machine has returned to is running and in the correct state.

    Problem is the use of the script of PowerCLI - snapshots say they are taken, but when I return to the rupture, the machine is broken and needs to be restarted.

  • Time Machine restore, most of the alias icons are broken?

    I recently restored the system of Time Machine, but my alias (for most) have broken images.  If I copy the aliases, they are all fixed, but I can't do it exactly for each alias on the machine!  Restoration of the alias of Time Machine seems to have the same effect.

    Is it possible for the shot to solve this problem?

    I tried several solutions, compensation resolved cache:

    Deploy sudo rm - rf / *.

    sudo rm - rf ~/Library/Caches/*

    Reset

    If I had known what specific cache which is held the icon broken, images that would have been better.  It turns out that only some of the specific sizes were broken, which explains why the icons seem to appear and then disappear again on another page.
