[SOLVED] Help: Snapshot showing is not in Manager snapshots, but 0000002.vmdk always in the vicinity

Hello community,

Here's the problem: one of our most important servers (Windows 2008 R2, Exchange 2010) got a software update, so we used clichés, which removed right after the update went smothly.

Now, some time later, I saw that the 000002.vmdk file is always there and always referenced when I check the properties of the virtual machine.

So this happened not recognized for some time now, the server has 3 virtual drives, two of which have these snapshotfiles, 25GB and 50GB the other short.

I've been digging around the internet for some time now, and so far the only solution I found was to create a new snapshot and then select "Remove all" since the Snapshot Manager. Thus engage all snapshot of the files at once.

Fortunately, we have still some 700 GB of space on the volumes, but I'm not sure about this procedure. With snapshots of this size, there will be a delay (I think that's what happened the first time) or something else. When this server going boom, we have a problem. (of course, there is a backup, but I'm not Admin Exchange and this guy is on vacation, murphy...)

You think it's a good idea? Any other ideas?

Oh, our environment:

vCenter 4.1 345043

ESXi 4.1 582267

Sincere greetings,

Thomas

Welcome to the community,

with ESXi 4.1 in place, you should have any problems with delays, so I would go ahead and follow the snapshot create-> delete all routes.

Two thought but since I do not know the workload. Think to delete snapshots after the opening hours (depending on the speed of storage) and be absolutely sure, there is no backup (or something else) who tries to create another snapshot when the consolidation is on!

I would go ahead and delete the snapshots with the virtual machine. IMO it is not necessary to do with the virtual machine off.

  • Help? PDF link not working in FF, but IE?

    Hi... help please - www.webdesignalgarve.com/qdr2 if you click on the link below the menu on the page saying "click here to see the complete project in pdf format", it does not work in ie, but in FF no problem... can someone tell me whats up please?

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you can not always count on this work.  I, for example, have all PDF files opened outside the browser, so no matter how you have your site set up, it will never be opened in the browser window.

    I would say just a link to the file directly.  If the user has the pdf plugin for their browser, the PDF opens in their browser.  Otherwise, it will open in their customer of pdf as usual.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion a850e USB ports showing only not in 2.0 but 1.0

    Whenever I plug anything in my office, it appears a window that says, may be faster on a faster port. Ports are supposed to be USB 2.0, so I don't understand why she said this. And all the jacks front and rear. I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. Is it possible to tell if the ports really work USB 2.0 and 1.0 not?

    JTK, welcome to the forum.

    You can check to see if there is a Standard PCI enhanced USB host controller in Device Manager.  This is the driver for USB 2.0.  If it is there, you have USB 2.0.

  • SVG showing is not on my screen, but the text it is.

    Hello

    Determined to get this SVG of a logo to display. Don't know what the problem is that I'm not on the screen. In Illustrator, I used "recorded under" and chose .svg. Should I have used 'export' instead? (it's an idea)

    < class header = "header image" >

    < div class = "headline" >

    < div class = "container" >

    "" < img src = "... /IMG/This-logo.svg" alt = "a description on the display" height = "400" width = "400" >

    < / div >

    < / div >

    < / header >

    It is one element of another in the same container, in the background. This is displayed.

    {} .header-image

    display: block;

    Width: 100%;

    text-align: center;

    background: url('.. / img/bg-conception-element.jpg') roll no repeat Center Center;

    -webkit-background-size: cover;

    -moz-background-size: cover;

    background-size: cover;

    -o-background-size: cover;

    }

    Thank you.

  • Firefox does not open Office bookmarks saved, by default, always to the homepage, why is this?

    I would like to launch Firefox by clicking desktop shortcuts I saved (Bank, Netflix, Gmail, Amazon, Yahoo, eBay, etc...). With Firefox 29 a shortcut on the desktop now opens on my Google homepage. If I choose open on a blank page in the options, then all of my shortcuts open an empty page.

  • Help: I can remove bookmarks using 'Organize Favorites', but cannot get rid of the empty folder.

    Using 'Organize bookmarks' I can delete individual bookmarks, but when I try to remove the empty folder, the "Delete" option is grayed out.

    The folder in which you are trying to delete?

    In the left pane of the library (bookmarks > organize bookmarks) there are three main files in the folder "All bookmarks" ("Bookmarks Toolbar", "Bookmarks Menu", "Unsorted Bookmarks").
    You cannot delete these main folders.

    * The Bookmarks Toolbar folder stores the bookmarks that you see on the (View > Toolbars >) Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * The Bookmarks Menu folder stores bookmarks that you see in the Bookmarks menu and create via "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" or "Bookmark This Link" in the right click context menu.
