The possibility of suspending a snapshot via VixVM_CreateSnapshot?

I took a quick glance at VIX API 1.8.1 and also 1.10 beta.

I wonder, if it is possible to create a snapshot suspended through VixVM_CreateSnapshot as the only predefined option seems to be VIX_SNAPSHOT_INCLUDE_MEMORY.

Via gSOAP creating a snapshot hanging is no problem. But the huge difficulty in implementing the WaitForUpdates loop...

The use of VixJob_Wait is much easier...

Sorry, no, VIX can't take snapshots of suspended. You can use the service API vSphere web or vSphere PowerCLI (if you have a Windows autour host).

  • Possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then disconnect the SAN?

    I decided to do an interview on a small environment ESX 3.5 and I was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.  If I record data suspends storage local would this work? Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save?  There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

    was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.

    A suspension is identical to a power off, it shows just the guest to Hibernate.  So yes, it is safe.

    Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save? There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

    No its not faster, its more fast and more reliable to power off the virtual machine rather than suspend.  If you need to follow the process and suspend its critical use, otherwise a scheduled interruption is better.

  • Is it possible to visually buttons disable via the checkbox?

    I would like to have the buttons I create a form can turn off so if I have the e-mail form someone that they will be not present.  Or at least to have the possibility of.   I understand that I can put the Visual button but not print, but which does not cover e-mail.  We are on the Enterprise Server is only gmail for email, so I don't think that an email button would work as he does not know how to go through a citrix client and get the gmail Portal up and running.

    Not sure if this is possible, but I think that if anyone would know, you experienced users of acrobat would be.

    Thank you...  Brian

    Hi Brian,.

    To make this mouse of the script action box:

    Get the value of the checkbox
    var v = getField("myCheckBox").value;

    If it is disabled, hide the button
    If (v == 'Off') {}
    this.getField("myButton").display = display.hidden;
    }

    else {}
    this.getField("myButton").display = display.visible;
    }

    Rename "myCheckBox" and "myButton" to some names that you used in your form.

  • Browse Snapshots Via CLI

    Is it possible to browse snapshots via CLI as you can through the vSphere Snapshot Manager?

    I know I can create a new snapshot and I can go back to the last snapshot easily, but I would like to be able to take a snapshot of a pool, if necessary. It is a virtual machine that developers use and are they screw something up but do not notice until the last good image has 3 snapshots, then go back to the LAST snapshot is not good. And unfortunately my Department can not afford licenses vSphere until the next fiscal year.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, you can do various of snapshot using the vCLI: snapshotmanager.pl : http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/snapshotmanager.html

  • Is the possible to external device recovery?

    Hi @all,

    I have a Satellite M30x-134. My DVD player damaged a moment my question:

    How can I recover my system (Windows xp) with a damaged internal drive?

    Is it possible to leave an external via USB dvd drive or a USB?

    Can you tell me the parameters of this procedure?

    Many, many thanks and greetings,
    EGGE

    It is theoretically possible, but not so easy to do. USB option does not work. What you can try is to use the external CD/DVD drive, but it won't work so easy. The reason is that this external device will be recognized automatically.

    I didn't try, but I'm sure you must start your laptop with disk boot BACK, BACK to load a driver for the external device to access and as the last step of the installation of recovery.
    It's quite complicated.
    Best solution for you is to check eBay, buy the new optical disk drive, be happy with many of the workbook.

  • HP 6120 t BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller

    Hello

    HP 6120 t (vista) BIOS does not recognize the second IDE hard drive connected via IDE-SATA controller. The other SATA disk and the DVD player came with the machine.

    I hooked my old 200 GB Hitachi drive via the controller. I also put the jumbers in the present as a slave. I also took the original WD drive and just connect the IDE hard drive. BIOS do not show any drive at all.

    I would try something possible at this time I have a lot of my data on the old disk.

    Thanks appreciate any suggestion.

    Try to enter the BIOS and I believe under change of Advanced menu of SATA to IDE or Enhanced.

    You need to do when you install Windows XP or you will get a blue screen and it does not start.

    Don't forget chang back when you put it in your drive home hard sata.

  • VPN site to Site with the possibility to dial Back-Up

    Hello

    Our network currently uses a lot of Frame-Relay links, for these connections, we use the Cisco 1720 with dial back-up on analog line in case the fials Frame-Relay.

    I am looking for a way to site to site VPN connection and have always the possibility to dial emergency failure of the ISP. We currently have a Cisco Pix 515E who would host connections, what would be my best option on the side of Management Office? Firewalls PIX or Cisco 1720 with modules of VPN, perhaps a combination of the two? Which would be safer?

    Thank you in advance for any help you provide.

    Mauro

    Mauro,

    Do you want to replace EN with VPN links and then save the VPN with ISDN, or keep the FR, retreating to VPN, then falling back to ISDN?

    Whatever it is, the way to go is to use a dynamic routing on the EN and the VPN Protocol, so when a link fails the IP routing protocol address reconverges. This way you can always trigger the ISDN with a static route floating.

    EIGRP (or any other dynamic routing protocol) to via the VPN to allow multicasting neighbourgh through a GRE tunnel.

    I have installation jobs to take pictures before the updates of Windows.  Now I would like to delete them via PowerCLI.

  • cancel the deployment or suspend VMs after a period of inactivity?

    In Lab Manager 4.0, is it possible to cancel the deployment or suspend the VMs after a period of inactivity? For example, if I want to have the VMS undeploy or suspend it after a user has not used for an hour or two?

    Thank you.

    is the closest you will get to this is a lease of deployment:

    The duration of a configuration or a VM template is deployed before Lab Manager is supposed to he cancel the deployment.

    This is because Lab Manager is not on 'activity or inactivity' as far as I remember, just how long he was out on an ESX host to.

    Kind regards
