The VMDK Corruption after VDP 6 backup

• Copy only the vmdk file to create a backup

  I'm totally new to VMware ESX 4, but decided to allows you to host a web server on Windows 2008 Server vm, after about two weeks of reading and the VMware ESX product testing. I have used other products virtual machine last year or so for other projects.

  Why not just copy the vmdk files to create backup vms? That is problem? I have not to perform the clone at the same time as any other vm used to create or created from the vmdk file copied. I tested with a NT4 Workstation vm, because the files are small and can be copied and moved quickly, and I didn't have problems.

  I use the Vsphere Client to copy the vmdk file to a folder at the root of the data store and then by creating a virtual machine, naming the vm the same as the folder.  I created a model of the virtual machine to w2008 use Vsphere standalone converter, but the vmdk copy is so much easier and faster that of re-run the converter again on the model should I need.

  I created a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine and want to test before installing Tomcat and MySQL. The operating system should get messed up, I thought that I could start over with just using the current vmdk file, I copied. Yet I don't trust using snapshots, etc. I have also created many Linux VM on the ESX Server for analysis of the use of Tomcat on them. I also have a XP Pro VM as an alternative to emergency. It is XP Pro on a computer that hosts the web site of Tomcat/MySQL production - slowly.

  Thank you

  Take a look at http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 for a script that can automate Virtual Machine cloning. When you start a virtual machine that has been cloned ESXi will prompt you to "I copied it" or I moved it"etc. If it is a copy, you would respond with "I copied it" and ESXi change MAC, etc. of the UUID. The only required files are files VMDK and VMX file. Others will be re-created when the machine is added to the inventory.

  In regards to the tools, I would install them. It also includes drivers to allow the host ESXi communicate with VM for things like the soft stop etc.

• flying over the vmdk files after storage vmotion

  People,

  I finished a few vmotions storage and I see that there are some vmdk files left belonging to a virtual machine by flying over in the source data store.

  Storage vmotion however was very good. Time last modified files are several months old.

  If the vmdk files are old players was dismantled some time back?

  There are also a few - zdump.000 left side files in source data warehouses. should you be worried about those?

  Rahul-

  Although I suppose the files are orphans, I always double-check for use before deleting. Virtual disk file (hard) can be changed only in case Active snapshots exist for them. What you can do is run RVTools, to see if these files appear as 'Zombies' and if so, I would say you first create a subdirectory and move the "orphans" files above and - if everything continues to work as expected - delete at a later date. Alternatively you can check the vmware.log of the virtual machine file to see if the files appear here.

  Zdump files are created if something unexpected occurs. However, it is difficult to say what the brought to be created and if they are old and have any problems, you can delete just them.

• Is there a way to repair the VMDK file after that vdiskmanager.exe says it can not be repaired?

  Hello

  I have a VMDK file that is damaged due to a host controller problem. I am running Workstation 12.1 on 8.1 Win x 64. VMDK output below with log.

  [ADMIN]: PS >.\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe r 'D:\dalliandt2\DALIANDT2.vmdk '.

  The virtual disc, "D:\daliandt2\DALLIANDT2.vmdk", is corrupted and cannot be repaired.

  OK, after spending the whole day, trying to find a solution, I found how to fix it.

• VMDK corruption after an accidental deletion...?

  Hey guys,.

  I did some poking around here and I couldn't find a discussion that corresponded to the situation for which I face.  I pray to GOD I'm not screwed...

  The short of it... MacBook Pro in Win XP Pro SP3 via VMware Fusion.  Works very well yesterday.  Had a bunch of clutter on my desktop Mac and moved a bunch of stuff in the trash... including my virtual XP machine package. (OF OOOH) Stop at the end of the day not shown any sign of problems.  When I went to start this morning I get the "file not found: Windows XP Professional-000002 - s002.vmdk.  Instantly, I knew it.  Restored the VM package on the desktop and it does not contain this file, but merge seems to ignore the fact that it is there.

  This is probably because the file Windows XP Professional.vmsd being a length of zero, when it does not, however, this is what I would try...

  Shutdown, not, suspend the Virtual Machine, and then close merger.

  In the Finder, open the packaging of the Virtual Machine and file ctrl + click on the Windows XP Professional - 000002.vmdk and select open with > VMDKMounter

  Just to start with this one:

  I assume you mean that you run Windows in a virtual machine such as Parallels? If so, the machine virtual peut must be updated.

  When you install Snow Leopard, make sure to choose the option to do a custom install, so you can select the check box for Rosetta, or it will not install and PowerPC applications will not run. Not a huge deal if you miss. The first time you try to run a PPC application if Rosetta has not been installed, OS X offers to download and install it for you.

  Firefox works under Snow Leopard, which is the oldest version of OS X Mozilla always supports. Safari installed with SL will remain grossly outdated and should not be used.

  Nothing will happen to your documents, although I can't say with certainty that all the apps from third party that allows you to open will not be updated. They can. They cannot. For example, Office 2004 will run as long as Rosetta is installed.

• You are prompted for the startup disk after PC Backup

  I want to back up files to an external hard drive (my hard drive is a FAT32 file system), I wanted to save on my removable hard drive from WD, but the program would not let me do this.  I discovered that I could put it in a drive on my computer I've ever used.

  So I used the feature to backup all the files on the computer.  After 3 hours, the program prompted me to put in a 3.5 diskette formatted as a boot drive.  (I had everything that I have is a flash drive.) He wouldn't let me change to my flash drive.

  Lost all my info? How can I use this return to the high back, now?

  Help, please

  What is your goal? A single backup? Regular backups? You want to save your data ONLY? Or you want to back up your ENTIRE system?

  I know there are a lot of questions, but it is important to know what it is you want to do!
  In the meantime, change the file system of your external hard drive from FAT32 to NTFS:

  Convert FAT32 to NTFS in Windows XP:

  • Click Start-> Run
  • Enter "cmd" in the field of text labeled "Open".
  • Button click OK
  • If you want to convert drive D (d), enter the "flight d:" command in the command window, find the name of volume for the D: partition
  • Then enter the command "convert d:/FS: NTFS" to convert the partition D: from FAT32 to NTFS
  • When you are prompted, enter the name of the partition volume

  New HD installed and have all my backup files. When I use files restore - advanced restore - they are on an external hard drive, it is said first that the backup file is not available, although I can see all the files on the hard drive. Then asks me to create an account with the same name that my old account, she wants one with a / symbol in there, but said then I can't use symbols. The only way I can get the files to cross is to choose a different location to save in but then of course they are not anyone is easy to use... I would like that all of the images in the photo file, all the music in the music file, etc..  Also as I have many back ups I don't know which of the back ups to install - latest seems to have only the files that have changed since the last backup... what I need to install the oldest and the newest? or all of them? and I'm supposed to now spend hours finding all files and moving them to the right places? Guess that's what an automatic backup system was supposed to avoid...

  You use the option "files from a backup made on a different computer? Although it is the same computer, the fact that Vista has been reinstalled means that it may seem as if it isn't.

  The DELL PC anne/anne account that is specified is actually the name of the computer before the slash, is anne DELL PC and the user name after, Anne. The computer name was changed when has been reinstalled Vista?

• Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

  The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  How can I replace the corrupted hard drive and re-install the operating system?

  If I need to buy Windows 8, where can I find?

  Would it not easier that I left the repair shop handle it?

  Thank you in advance.

• Apply the bow logs after the full backup

  DB version: 10 gr 2
  
  
  NOCATALOG mode, I'll take a full backup (hot) DBx (800 GB) using the command

  run {
  allocate channel c1 TYPE DISK connect 'sys/dempo'  FORMAT   '/u04/bkp/stprod_%U.rbk';
  backup as compressed backupset database tag 'full'  plus archivelog; 
  }

  and restore it in DBy.
  But how do I apply archive logs generated dbx during the full backup after the full backup?
  The restored control file does not have these archived logs. Right?

  But the control file which will be restored isn't aware of these new logs archived 5

  Take an another controlfile after the log backups backup archive 5.

  However, you can also CATALOG (search for documentation of RMAN for the "CATALOG" as a command RMAN) backup archivelog items 'Add' in the backup controlfile preceded.

• delete the archive logs after cold backup?

  Hi all
  my database is in archivelog mode, I do COLD backup every night, can I just remove the archive logs after I do my cold backup, because there is no need of them, as the closed DB should have all the info in the archived papers
  
  and archive connected is needed only during the day, if a sudden power outage that happened.
  
  Thank you very much

  The ArchiveLogs allow you RollForward a backup restored to a specific point in time.

  Assuming that stop you your database at 23:00 (2300) every night and backup up to 11 h 45 (2345) tracks...

  Significant transactions entered between 15:00 and 16:00 on Friday, but a person deleted by mistake the lines (or some other lines) at 17:00

  your current backup strategy of "restoration" of the database only allows 23:00 Thursday night. If you also back up your archivelogs (in this case, the backup of Friday night would the archivelogs), you restore Thursday night backup 'cold' and "rollforward" by publishing a RECOVER database with the HELP of BACKUP CONTROLFILE until 16:00 Friday.

  1 a helpful to take before step same you've solved these problems is to create two alternative accounts protected by password Admin-level.

  • Accounts of users & their safety are taken much more seriously in Windows 7 so the tricks we learned under XP can not help us any more.
  • [No matter what account can suffer from corruption of the profiles user and if it's your main account and you have no spare Admin account to access the system, then you have a serious problem that we are not even allowed to advise you in this forum other than to suggest a complete reinstall of Windows 7].
  • If you have these two alternative accounts then, because they are rarely used, they are less likely to suffer from the corruption that is in use.
  • So even if you have problems in your account you can then log in as one of them and solve the problem.
  • You must write the passwords and ensure the safety of the sheet of paper.  You could do 'Password' reset disks instead, but they are not more effective than a piece of paper and they will also have to be stored somewhere in the place safe.

  2. did you run the Windows 7 compatibility checker before the upgrade?  You can start now and its results will always help you.  See Windows 7, 8.1, 10 compatibility tests for Windows XP, Vista - WiKi

  3 then see where to find the hardware drivers to treat your problems with your multimedia controller etc.

  4 once you get these things sorted, then you want to probably ensure that you get a Windows 10 forced update before you're ready - see disable Windows 10 improvement and ignore someone who starts to tell disable you updates specific Windows or turn off Windows update itself because it's all nonsense.

  5 like many of us when we arrived first of XP, you reach not used 'images of the system' which is worth doing as soon as you have a system worth preserving - so you probably want to turn it off until you have fixed your problem with drivers hardware.

  • You can make an image of the system in less than half an hour.
  • You can restore an image system in less than half an hour and thus replace problems based on software, including problems of drivers, who have appeared on your computer.
  • Search for create a system image using Windows to get an introduction to & use,
  • Then go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], Backup & Restore for the link on the left side to create a system image to run the utility.
  • Note that you should not make the system repair disc which will find references to your Windows 7 installation disc can do what a system repair disc can [etc.].
  • Target the most convenient & reliable to record images of system on is an external hard drive.  An image of the system does not have the external hard drive to any target, so it can also be used for other purposes such as the storage of your current file backups.
  • Rewritable DVD is not as reliable and you need several whenever you made a new image.
  • Utility of third to party system images can be better that the built-in Windows utility I use Acronis TI which has a very good reputation.  Macrium Reflect free edition also has a good reputation.  But you can start with the built-in utility, and then you worry about the alternatives later.

  All the best,

  Hi Sam,

  This issue may have caused due to infection by the virus or system files missing or damaged or because of the corruption of the user profiles. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

  1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  2. do you get any error code or error message while starting?

  3. have you checked if the problem occurs on a different user account?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

  Method 1:

  Run the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if there is any threat of viruses found.

  Microsoft safety scanner: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Method 2:

  Run the System File Checker scan and check if it helps. This will help you to find and replace missing or damaged system files.

  See the following article from Microsoft Support to run the System File Checker.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us

  Method 3:

  If you have not checked if the problem occurs on a different user account are not, then try again to create a new user account and check if the problem persists. This is to check if the problem is caused due to the corruption of user profiles or not.

  See the following article from Microsoft Help to create a new user account.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=Windows-7

  If the problem does not persist in the new user account, then try the steps in the following article from Microsoft Help to fix the damaged user profile.
