  • 'Create a snapshot of the Virtual Machine' suspended the process - how to kill?

    I tried to rename a virtual machine when I received a message from VCenter that "another task is already underway."

    I did some research and found that the virtual machine, I am trying to rename is currently creating a snapshot of the Virtual Machine.  Or - at least the host thinks Yes.

    The snap was initiated by vpxuser about 20:00 in the night a few days - and is still ongoing.  I can't kill him since the VIC when it is directly attached to the host.

    Looking to my data warehouses - I don't see that he actually created the snap, because I see no 0000001 or something like that.   At this point, I don't like, I don't know why he even launched the snap in the first place.

    Is there a way I can kill that process with the help of the console?   It's hosted on vSphere 4.

  • How the snapshot of the virtual machine?

    Hi all

    We use the VDI in our Organization. We use Linked clones.

    I have to recompose all pools each week. And to recompose some users will be connected to the virtual machine. So, generally, I select wait for logof users recompose. But some of the virtual machine are not getting laid, even though the disconnection of users due to the task request has expired error. And we manually recomposing machines.

    Is it possible to know the snapshot, used by the virtual machine to the pool in the blink of an eye (i.e. What snapshot it uses if a new or old)

    Otherwise, I have to check with each virtual computer and details of the snap of this virtual machine manually. We have 900 such VMS in my environment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Go to the inventory pool, - 'See composer details' and sort on the column "last image".

  • Snapshot of the Virtual Machine is powered is Manager of snapshots?

    I see a snapshot as turned on inside the Snapshot Manager before the option "You are Here". Can I delete it even if it shows that power?

    I see a snapshot as turned on inside the Snapshot Manager

    It only means that you have taken the hanging of a VM in working condition.

    If you do not need this snapshot, you can remove.

  • How to configure the virtual machine for the changes to forget

    Hi, I want to ask if it is possible together in the virtual machine for the changes to forget. For example - user run VM... make some changes in the configuration. Then come a new user has it want to have clear (without changes in the configuration) virtual machine. Is possible together closed the machine after changes lost?

    Sorry for my English.

    Thanks for help.

    Hi Polo939

    First, you will need to take a snapshot of the virtual machine.

    • Select your virtual machine

    • Click on "take a snapshot" on the right-hand side of the web interface

    Then you must configure the virtual machine to go back to the snapshot when it is turned off.

    • Click on "configure the VM.

    • Click the "snapshot".

    • Select "back to overview" under when you feed off option

  • When capturing installation - if I saw the virtual machine is it captured as well?

    All right, let's assume that I am ThinApping an application and I'm in the middle of the installation of the main application and a few children and updates applications.

    If something goes wrong, I don't want to start from the beginning.  So after that I installed can the first main application I take a snapshot of the virtual machine?  Well, I know I can, but my question is will be captured by thinapp and packed to the top in the final exe file this snapshot?  Something I want to happen.

    If so, how would I exclude in the build?  If the snapshot is not captured, so it's perfect.

    Snapshots of workstation are stored on the host computer. ThinApp scans the guest and will not see the snapshots of work stations. So you can take snapshots of work when you want, they are included in the package.

    Hello

    I found the solution.

    I disabled the JOB BE general relativity.

    and the host where the virtual machine belong was not the right time. No Ntp server has been configured.

    I did and now there works.

    I think that the problem can come from this.

  • Unable to start the virtual machine and snapshots are missing from snapshot Manager.

    Hello

    I'm new here in the VMWARE communities and I don't know if I'm posting this survey in the right place. I am currently using VMWARE Workstation 9. The issue I'm having is that I can not start my VM. The error that says:

    vm error.png

    This is an overview of my settings:

    settings.png

    When I try to get a snapshot I can go back, I get this snapshot Manager screen:

    snapshot.png

    I checked the files on the directory of the virtual machine. The snapshot files are still there.

    I tried to solve the problem by editing the configuration of virtual machine file to use another vmdk. I got an error saying something about the parent and the child are not synchronized. Sorry I don't have a screenshot of that. I also tried to make a copy of one of the other VMDK and rename it to match with the name of the missing file. That also made me anywhere I tried looking on the net but I get answers to other vmware ESXi and vSphere products. So I don't know if they apply to my current situation.

    At this point, I'm hoping to recover my machine or at least be able to use snapshots. Please notify.

    I think that the restoration was the best way to solve this problem. I actually checked the different files, but it looks like I missed something. In any case, create snapshots with the virtual machine in a state engine is my personal preference. It is not only to save disk space (since there is no need to preserve the current state of memory), but also provides a consistent state. As for the number of snapshots, you're always on the stop side, and if you are not having issue of performace with small changes you make you should be ok. In case there is a performance problem, you may consider to store the computer virtual on an SSD that will certainly help.

    Since the Center of Documentation of VMware Workstation 10

    To the premises of the virtual machines, you can take more than 100 snapshots for each linear process. For shared virtual computers and remote, you can take a maximum of 31 snapshots for each linear process.

  • SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

    Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

    One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

    More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).


    Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Andy

    Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

    The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

    To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

  • Best way to back up the virtual machine

    What better way to back up a virtual machine with snapshots?

    I have copied the VM directory to a backup folder, but then had problems to restore.  Just right?

    Not sure if it was because of the way the backup that I did.

    Sorry my English!

    It is recommended to create the snapshot with the VM or disable?

    Snapshots can be created with the virtual machine or not. With the virtual machine running, it may take more time to create the snapshot, and you won't 'lose' disk space, due to the State of memory that will be instantaneous.

    When possible, I recommend you take the snapshot with the virtual machine power off.

  • Cannot start the virtual machine after you create snapshop

    I found a strange behaviour. I have a Windows 2008 guest that I just copied in my new box ESXi. I am trying to create a snapshot before upgrading the guest to 2012 Windows operating system. The virtual machine has currently no snapshots. Whenever I have create a snapshot, he succeeds, but then I can't start the virtual machine saying that it does not find the vmdk file delta even though I see there in the data store. In order to start the virtual machine, I have to delete the inventory and it readd, but then I lose the snapshot. I also have another computer virtual running Windows 8.1 that does exactly the same thing. How can I create snapshots safely without damaging the virtual machine? I also tried to create the snapshot while the virtual machine has been activated but that makes crashing and then it does not start again, so I have to repeat the process to remove the inventory and it time. Frustrating. See the screenshots, I have attached.

    Once these virtual machines have been in Hyper-V in the past and I just convert to VMware format using the StarWind V2V converter.

    Yes, for an ESXi host and target you must either select the ESX f.vmdk as format target (growable option is for VMware Workstation), or you must convert the virtual machine once more instead of simply upload the files to an ESXi host.

  • Impossible to expand the D: drive on the virtual machine

    I tried to increase disk vmdk file to another 20Gb.When D: I went to change the setting, the option to increase the size of the disk is grayed out.

    My ESX Server that is having the VM is not added to the virtual Center Server.

    In Edit framework I have seen

    Vitual machine version: 4

    type of thick disk configuration

    size of 25GB available

    Maximum S/o

    Please let me know if there is an option to increase the size of vmdk file.

    have you created a snapshot of the virtual machine? If there is a snapshot, you are not able to extend the disks of the virtual machine.

    Are you unable to extend all or only the road d disks? I have had this a few times and the only way to extend the drive was by turn off the virtual machine. Never understood why it was.

  • Take a snapshot of a lun SAN: How do I disassemble the virtual machine?

    SAN is FC 9958E Hitachi, ESX 3.5 update 2.

    I try to take a snapshot of a lun (with a virtual machine in this regard) san and must turn off the virtual machine and disassemble the VMFS virtual machine so I can do that there is no I/O will the lun when I take the snapshot.

    How can I (of) a virtual machine of the VMFS without making the other virtual machines running in the same cluster? I know that the VMFS is a system of shared files grouped campaigns, exclusive property of vmware. Does anyone know the command to use?

    If anyone has any info on this subject, it would be great.

    This is the documentation is 1.5 ESX, released in 2002.

    The command no longer exists in recent versions.

  • When a snapshot is complete, so I can start to make changes to the virtual machine?

    When I take a snapshot in merge, a progress bar appears in the window of virtual computer, then disappears in a few seconds.

    But a picture of a clock also appears on the Fusion icon in the dock. Only the clock takes a minute or two to disappear.

    What process is the clock?  What is the take a complete snapshot?  When the progress bar disappears, or when the clock disappears?

    Can I safely begin to make changes to the virtual machine, I want to be able to restore, immediately after the progress bar disappears?

    Or, it is more prudent to wait to make changes until the clock disappears?

    Thank you

    (The progress bar and the clock appear in my Fusion 3 that I use always happy... I don't know what appears in more recent versions).

    While the stopwatch turns, Fusion is busy writing the snapshot to disk, so the performance of your comments and your host could be reduced.

    As long as the performance isn't an obstacle, you can continue to use the virtual machine while the snapshot is taken.  Merger will ensure that the snapshot includes the exact state of the virtual machine at the moment, you started the snapshot: nothing of what you are doing inside the guest, while the snapshot is in progress does not affect the State of the socket.

    See you soon,.
