Snapshots on virtual RDM - where do they go?
If I have a Raw Device Mappings (in virtual mode) disk to a virtual machine and then someone makes a snapshot on this VM - where the delta for the RDM files go? As the RDM is a pointer directly on a LUN, I suspect that they cannot be placed here?
Snapshots for RDM in virtual mode behave like snapshots for virtual disks. They are created in the home of the virtual machine folder by default.

SQL snapshots in physical RDM mode help?
If a virtual machine with a drive located on a RDM in physical mode, doing things like SQL snapshots work?
There is a discussion where some people wondered if them soon be virtualized servers SQL must use internal iSCSI client to connect directly to a SAN logical unit number or if you are using a physical RDM mode. They were not sure if features like SQL snapshots work.
Operating system doesn't "know" what type of disc it uses (virtual physical RDM, RDM virtual disk), so that all the functions as snapshots made within the OS itself will work the same. It's only the instant VMware that has no effect on a physical RDM.

Hello
I have a virtual machine with 2 virtual disks and 2 RDM. The 2 virtual drives are each about 20-30GB. The RDM is 2 TB each. Can I make a snapshot with just the 2 virtual drives? What is the best way to save before making changes
other than the backup.
Thank you
Mike
Hello
If the RDM are in mode physical then instant does not apply to the RDM. If your RDBMS is in virtual mode, then you can make snapshots of the RDM, but to do this, I'll make sure you have PLENTY of space, up to 2 tablespoons available just in case you do something touches all the blocks of the RDM.
Personally, I keep large RDMs like physics and save them within the virtual machine to an external source. Mitigate the need a lot of disk space.

I had problems with getting mail from my verizon email account. All of a sudden stopped working when checking mail. The transmission was fine. No server settings have been changed. Then as a final trial before the nightmare to finally give them, I removed the account and then set up again. I now get the emails, but all the 'old' disappeared. Where did they go?
I read all the messages on the verizon smtp ssl problems but this (lack of e-mails that have been alreadiny in thunderbird) seems to be a matter of TB.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jack
I don't think so.
If you think it's a problem to check with your email provider. -

I use Firefox 4 Beta 3 and I can't see the 'recently closed tabs' and 'windows' recently closed in Firefox-> history. Where are they?
They do not appear on the history of the Firefox button entry, but they are always on the menu background traditional, accessible by pressing Alt and S.
Checking through some models of the Firefox button, it seems that he is expected to add to the option in the history of the Firefox button. Although there are probably differences, see this image for an idea of what the Firefox menu final button will look like at- https://bug583386.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=461697

Positioned on the new host, iPhone deleted old emails - where are they?
Recently a company I work with just changed hosts. When they did, the new e-mail was similar to the old access (POP), to try to make the process as transparent as possible.

I cry. did system restore but did not picture where are they?
I was told to do a restore of windows to solve some of my problems computer, but as soon as he charged there is no photos or documents... where are they?
If you press F10 during your computer's boot sequence, so what you did then is critical.
See this article from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07145&tmp_task=useCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3245022#N81 click on the + next to the heading "recovery during startup" and read the documents there.
You skipped step 1 (probably because nobody has directed you to this article before). Now, look at step 5. You selected "Advanced" and "Destructive recovery" or not?
If you have not selected "Destructive recovery" your files may still be on your hard drive. I'm not familiar with what HP 'standard system recovery', but we can at least is what is usually called a "repair installation" of the operating system. This should not delete your photos and documents, although if a new user profile has been created, you can not see them immediately.
If you remember the name of at least one file, do a search for it. Tell the research i Local Disk (C) "search in" (i.e., to search the entire drive). If the files are found, post back for directions or take a look at this article from HP:

I just installed Windows 7 and I can't find the pictures I had in Windows Photo Gallery. Where are they? Is there a way I can still use the Windows Photo Gallery?
Thanks for answer and sorry for not noticing that you have had so far. Actually, I solved my problem by editing the registry and by associating file types .jpg and .jpeg image. I think that the Viewer Windows Live Photo or other software that I installed messed up file associations and caused Media Center does not recognize files .jpg and .jpeg as an addition to the type library.
I changed the settings in the registry as follows:
1. under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, navigate to the key named .jpeg
2 change the (default) string value so that the data field is "jpegfile" (without the "")
3. Add a new string value named: 'Content Type' and together the data field "image/JPEG" (once again without the "")
4. Add a new string value named: "Type perceived" and together the data in the field in 'image '.Do the same steps above for the key under HHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .jpg
I don't remember if I needed to restart the computer or not for the changes to take effect. I solved this by trial and error because I remembered having to add the same entry in the Media Center in Vista type to get files .mp4 playing in the video library.
