• Local storage - lack of space for the backup snapshot?

  Hi all

  My apologies if this is an obvious question, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a question I have about our ESXi server.

  We run ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 III with 16 GB Ram and 200 GB RAID 5 15 K RPM SAS for local storage - we do not have a requirement for a SAN, etc. and I understand how 'best practice' implementation of ESXi and that local storage is not recommended.

  Our question is:

  We are running very low on the amount of local storage on the server and we use a Perl script every night to create a snapshot of a VM only we want to save that copies the original VM on a separate NAS device files. Apart from slow performance, this configuration works well for us. However, during the backup of the file snapshot obviously grew up with changes that are made and once the backup is complete he writes these returns to the original vmdk file (or so I think). Can anyone tell what would happen if we managed to create a snapshot at the beginning of the backup, but the server ran out of space before the backup finishes and commit the change snapshot... it would seriously damage our original server vmdk?

  If you would like more information on our installation program please let me know but I would like some advice before embark us on this... Thanks in advance.

  If the volume is running out of space, even if you have an active member of snapshot on a virtual computer it stops running (the VM will crash) and you will not be able to commit the snapshot (free space is needed for this). Always avoid the chance of a filling volume, especially if you are using snapshots, while you probably won't lose data if you handle it properly (move the virtual machine to a volume with storage or free space before attempting to commit the snap) you will have at least virtual machine downtime.

• In the toolbar, I click on the face of color and see the view from the RGB color space. How can I put them in CMYK?

  In the toolbar on the left, click on the face of color and see the view from the RGB color space. How can I put them in CMYK?

  German:

  In der Werkzeugleiste klicke auf Farbflache und den RGB-Farbraumansicht sehe ich. Stelle wie ich sharp in CMYK um?

  Color picker, if that's what you mean (it opens if you double-click the color proxy) is still in RGB in InDesign, but if you place the cursor in one of the fields of CMYK value, add swatch button will change to add CMYK Swatch.

  Personally, I like the color picker and use the color Panel instead.

• Police have a capital 'A' with a carat on top after each period and 2 spaces. How can I fix it?

  Sometimes, I get this when I get emails. If I send an email and then go to the folder "sent" to see what I sent, there is a capital A with a carat on top after each sentence (but it seems that when I finished the sentence with a period and 2 spaces.)

  I tried to change the fonts, but that doesn't seem to help. I had this problem with an older version of Thunderbird and hope go away when I upgraded my OS (Linux Mint - opportunity to Ubuntu 10.4). I suspect that what is originally it was made more when I transferred my files to the new Thunderbird.

  Thank you.

  Looks like the incorrect character encoding is used.

  What character encoding you have set here:
  Edit > Preferences > display > formatting tab
  Click on the button "Advanced".

  See my example below image

  You can edit an image showing what you have selected, is much easier to type this.

  What is only a problem with mail in the "sent" folder or also with mail in other folders?

  Select the e-mail in the "sent" folder
  Click on "other actions" > view source
  or view > message source
  or
  CTRL + U

  What is in the source code for these lines:
  example:
  Content-Type: text/html; charset = windows-1252
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8 bit

  You can try to select email then:
  View > character encoding
  What is selected?
  Try another encoding, note that this will be only temporary while e-mail.

• How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

  Hello

  I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

  You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

  It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

  If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

  -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

  -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

  -Remove all the new set of VC servers

  -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

  -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

  In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

• Why I don't see (created with my iPhone 5 s) forms in the creative clouds (for iOS) and the space used in CC is 0 MB? Where are they kept?

  I installed Adobe forms on my iPhone (iOS 8) and don't see, where the forms are stored.

  In CC app for iOS, there is no files (and the space used in CC is 0 MB). And I do not see my shapes in your other apps (for iOS: ideas, Photoshop Mix).

  How to export shapes for the storage of files?

  Content in your libraries CC is currently not available on the CC iOS app.  You can see it online.  But, not in the app native iOS... yet. I hope that the CC app will have this feature soon.

• Memory and snapshot management

  Where can I find detailed information on memory and snapshot management in VMware workstation?

  Memory:

  • How memory is allocated in the host PC?
    
  • If I sart a guest VM with 2 GB of RAM with 500 MB of RAM on a host PC with 3 GB of RAM, the amount of memory is allocated on the host?
    
  • What should happen if I start more guest VM and the amount of memory is the memory available on the host PC?
    

  In summary:

  • How are managed snapshot all the view host to PC file system?
    
  • What is the role and the content of the files being created whenever I take a snapshot?
    
  • What is - that supposed to happen if I delete a file containing a snapshot (file, not the snapshot)?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  • 1. how memory is allocated in the host PC?
  • 2. If I sart a guest VM with 2 GB of RAM with 500 MB of RAM on a host PC with 3 GB of RAM, the amount of memory is allocated on the host?
  • 3. what should happen if I start more guest VM and the amount of memory is the memory available on the host PC?

  • 4. How are all managed snapshot view host to PC file system?
  • 5. What is the role and content of the files being created whenever I take a snapshot?
  • 6. What is - that supposed to happen if I delete a file containing a snapshot (file, not the snapshot)?

  1. that costs on the settings in your config.ini file
  2. the host can use somethiong between 2200 MB and a few MBs - depends on config.ini
  3 the host said 'not possible' either the virtual machine starts - with extreme settings, you can allocate 5 x physical RAM available to your virtual machine

  4 and 5.

  vmsd-file = list used by the customer snapshots
  VMSN-file = settings and configuring the host when the snapshot was created
  00000*.vmdk = file does the actual data of the snapshot

  6. cannot be predicted: anything can happen: System can be will start more or healthy - so NEVER do this

  > Should I expect to use as much RAM on the host computer as the sum of memory configured all virtual machines of comments?

  again it depends on your config.ini file settings - if twist you config.ini for better performance, then the answer is YES

• public network for virtual machines, private storage and the service console?

  Hello

  So far I had a pretty small facility with 2 servers with 4 physical network adapters each running ESX 3.5, a small box of EqualLogic SAN to shared storage and a few virtual machines on our network of regular reinforcement, routed, not on a private.   The network config was really simple.  I just put everything on real IP addresses on our network of building.

  Now I want to move the SAN and the traffic on a private service console network, but I don't know how to do this.

  Right now I use 2 NETWORK cards on each server:

  vmnic0 is configured on vSwitch0 and has the network of the VM on it that all my use of VMS to talk to the outside world, and it also has the Service Console that uses Virtual Center and I use ssh to it.

  vmnic1 is configured on vSwitch1 and a VMKernel Port and also a Service Console Port for iSCSI Software to talk to my SAN.  (never been clear on why both are needed to talk to the SAN, but doctors say they are)

  My plan is to set up a vSwitch2 and bind it to vmnic2 and implemented a VMKernel Port and the Service Console Port for software iSCSI on the 10.x.x.x network, set up my new (larger) SAN box on the 10.x.x.x network and simply use Storage vMotion to move virtual machines to the new storage space.  As soon as I did this, I would like to not use the Service Console on vSwitch2 and not a Console Service at all on vSwitch0.  Is it possible to delete the one on vSwitch0 and just use a new vSwitch2 for Virtual Center and ssh access?

  So my proposed configuration would be:

  vSwitch0: VM network only, used by the VM guests for oriented public access network, no construction of Network Service Console, linked to vmnic0

  vSwitch1: superfluous once I do storage vMotion of everything on my old SAN, will eventually remove and pair vmnic 1 with vmnic0, linked to vmnic1

  vSwitch2: VMKernel and Service Console on the network 10.x.x.x, used to access the new SAN, used by Virtual Center to access the ESX, used to SSH in to ESX on private network, associated vmnic2

  If it works?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  VMkernel ports cannot live on the same subnet. So if you have 3 vmkernel ports say: vMotion, iSCSI and NFS. You really need 3 subnets. 1 for each vmkernel port.

  Otherwise how does he know all send properly?

• DEALLOCATE UNUSED and SHRINK SPACE

  Hello
  What is the difference between the effect of DEALLOCATE UNUSED and SHRINK the SPACE?

  The SQL reference for 10.2 manual...

  deallocate_unused_clause

  Use the deallocate_unused_clause to explicitly release the unused space at the end of the table, partition or subpartition, segment overflow data, segment of LOB data and LOB index and make space available for other segments in the tablespace.

  shrink_clause

  The retraction clause allows manually shrink the space in a table, table arranged according to index or its overflow segment, index, partition, subpartition, LOB segment, materialized view, or newspaper materialized view. This clause is valid only for the segments in the tablespaces with automatic segment management. By default, Oracle database compact segment, adjusts the HWM and frees the space recovered immediately.

  Compaction of the segment requires the movement of the line. Therefore, you must enable the movement of line for the object you want to cut before you specify this clause. In addition, if your application contains the rowid-based triggers, you must disable them before issuing this clause.

  Or condense the above:

  DEALLOCATE - simply releases unused space at the end of the segment; don't move not any data

  Shrink - shrink space in a segment - requires line movement.

• Shrinking Bootcamp partition and add space for Macintosh HD

  Guys, after helping me with my previous question, my Macbook is almost as I want it to be. As said, I have a Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2013 with OS X El Captain (later) and in addition, a Bootcamp with Windows partition 8.1." It's that everything works fine now, but the partition Windows 8.1 has 300 GB and my score only 80 GB hard drive Macintosh.

  I wanted to shrink the partition, Bootcamp in Windows 8, 1 with Minitool Partition software but, obviously, when I reduce this score I get unallocated space that I can't turn into a new partition because I have 4 partitions in the MBR slot. So, what is the best way to reduce my Bootcamp partition and add space on the Macintosh HD partition?

  Thank you very much!

  Remove the Boot Camp partition, and Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Then start to affect the size of the Boot Camp partition you want.

• 10 improvement of the Windows path hangs on "place the external storage and press OK.

  Hello

  This will be my first post on this forum.

  A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba SATELLITE CL10-B-103 for my son. The CL10-B-103 has installed Windows 8.1. Tonight I plan to make the installation of the Windows 10 upgrade because Windows 8.1 announced that he was ready for the upgrade.

  The trial progressed slowly but smooth and without problems until now... As the laptop is equipped with only an HD 32 GB the trial upgrade was informed that I had to stick a USB key. After that, the trial continues slowly but smoothly, but who did not question because I had all night. However after the first reboot of the system when he was about 60 or 66% of installation of process this error message showed: place the external storage and press OK. It's very strange since the key USB has been removed at all and was still in the system. It is strange, is that both the OK button as the Cancel button are not selectable. Without passing by the touchpad, not a tab or an entry.

  Some community online Windows 10 post mentions that, via the BIOS, the system must be initiated from this USB key. I tried to reboot the system with DEL, F2 or F8, but I couldn't get into the BIOS and wasn't able to change the boot sequence.

  After each "restart" the same error message appears. It does not matter that the USB is in it or not.

  So, my conclusion is that my CL10-B-103 is suspended/East in a loop. I don't know how to proceed.

  Please, I can really use some help.

  Thanks in advance.

  Because it seems that I can not only edit/change a message I am answering my own post now...

  The problem seems to be resolved. When I was able to use the touchpad I could push the OK butten and the upgrade product now.
