Using pre gel with vcbSnapshot scripts

Greetings!

I have a backup script located on an ESX host using vcbSnapshot. As I understand, before to suspend file system, vcbSnapshot will run a script of pre gel if there. I have a script of gel meadow located at c:\Windows\pre-freeze-script.bat in a VM Windows 2003 that simply echoes the text to a temporary file (for testing purposes). However, it seems that the script is not executed during the daily backup (the temporary file will not be created). I looked into the vmware.log the VM, but I see not everything related to freeze the scripts being (or not) run. Execution of the pre-antifreeze - script.bat on its own creates the temporary file as expected. I use ESX 3.5 and VC 2.5. The virtual machine has VMtools 3.5 installed and running.

Any ideas?

The name (and location) scripts are changes since 3.5 U2.

According to the machine backup Guide virtual pg 52, freeze and thaw pre scripts after are now under C:\Program VMware Tools\backupScripts.d.

For before the Frost, it says "all the scripts are called in alphabetical order with gel like first growing argument."

Make sure that you have installed the latest VMtools on the guest and make sure to use VCB 1.5

  • NTBackup running in a script Pre gel

    Hello

    I thought I'd be smart NTBackup and incorporate into the backup script before freezing to an Active Directory VM. What the script works specifically a NTBackup of the State of the system on the local disk and then copy the backup file to a remote file share. If an error is generated when executing the script, the script Pre gel returns the error number before you leave (which means that if any sort of error NTBackup, the regular backup every night of the virtual machine will be not held). I tried this idea in the test environment, and it works most of the time. However, sometimes a VSS 12301 (no response from GatherWriterStatus) error, but despite the error the NTBackup ends very well. So I changed the script Pre gel to ignore all occurrences of error of 12301 (a 0 is returned).

    So what I what to know is, is it a good idea or a bad idea? I thought everything would be fine because the NTBackup must complete before when the disks are suspended (due to the nature of the gel Pre script).

    First of all, welcome to the Forums!

    What a great idea! I have recommended NTBackup to DCs running long - since win2000 days. He has never even occurred to me to add it to the pre-antigel script.

    Regarding your VSS error, it is recommended to use standby on transactional systems, such as AD, SQL, and Exchange. I would like to add the "q 0 ' option to your command of vcbMounter for this virtual machine. (Undocumented, means no suspend - thanks to depping for this one!)

    If you do backups with a VCB integration kit, you may also uninstall the VSS provider and the sync on this virtual machine driver.

  • LabVIEW 8.5 problems using strings with MATLAB Script node

    I am having some problems that seem to be a bug that I can not understand how to solve using strings in the MATLAB script node.

    I have two subVIs that make some calculations and both include a variable called "errortext" is a string. The two subVIs do their calculations using the MATLAB script node, so all the outputs are defined in the script node.

    The first sub - VI outputs that string and a number. The string is sent to an indicator on the front panel. The number is sent to the second Subvi which performs some calculations more and then returns another string of the same name to an indicator on the front panel. This second string is different from the first (error different two messages should appear).

    I did have problems with this in the past until this morning. This morning, it seems that two of these channels are now somehow mystically connected to each other. The second string repeat that what the first channel said despite the fact that the first string is not be linked to the Subvi where lives the second string. The only link between the two is a calculated value of double which went from #1 to the Subvi #2 Subvi.

    I tried many things: I tried to rename the strings so that they do not have the same name. Initially, he would not let me and gave me an error saying that the renowned string was a undefined variable (which is ridiculous). After removing and replacing things, I finally managed to do so I would change the name, but now it displays nothing at all and even more I think it might still display a completely different another string in my code!

    I also tried to remove the channel indicator and replace it. Yet once, it wouldn't let me initially. I would like to highlight, press DELETE and nothing. Finally after replacing all the subVIs with them, I was able to remove the flags, but this did not help the problem.

    Any idea for these problems pecular is greatly appreciated!

    I totally understand what you did, you were talking about variables in your fist post, and it was not clear if you were referring to a variable you have defined in the Matlab code, or you try to call a variable indicator/control, where is often seen on this forum (and who isn't). That said, the crux of The Matlab Script communicates with Matlab via ActiveX, and when you use a command window opens small. This is the workspace of Matlab environment. A variable that you define in a Matlab Script node will be visible in the other, even if it's in another VI (see attached for an example, figure). This is because the script nodes are running in the same environment space. It seems to me that if this is what is happening.

  • Using .split on an import script with a comma delimited data file

    Hi everyone-

    Any attempt to create a script to import amount field to remove the apostrophes (') of a description field to account in a .csv data import file (any folder with an apostrophe will be rejected during the import phase).  Now if it was a file delimited by semicolons (or other separators and more by commas), I could remove all the apostrophes recording with a string.replace command, then return the amount with a command of string.split.  Unfortunately, there is a problem with this solution when using comma delimiters. My data file is comma-delimited .csv file with several amount fields that have commas in them.   Even if the fields are surrounded in quotes, the .split ignores the quotes and treats the commas in fields amount as delimiters.  Therefore, the script does not return the correct amount field.

    Here is an example of a record of reference data:

    "", "0300-100000", "description of the account with an apostrophe ' ', '$1 000.00",' $1 000.00 "," $1 000.00 ","$1 000.00"," $1 000,00 "" "

    My goal is to remove the apostrophes from field 3 and return the amount in field 8.

    Some things to note:

    • If possible, I would like to keep this as an import script for amounted to simplify administration - but am willing to undertake the event script BefImport if this is the only option or more frank than the import script-based solution.
    • I tried using regular expressions, as seems to be conceptually the simplest option to respect the quotes as escape character, but think that I am not implementing properly and impossible to find examples of regex for FDMEE.
    • I know that we cannot use the jython csv on import the script by Francisco blog post - fishing with FDMEE: import scripts do not use the same version of Jython as event/Custom scripts (PSU510). This may be a factor to go with a script of the event instead.
    • It's probably a little more engineering solution, but I have considered trying to write a script to determine where to start all the quotes and the end.  Assuming that there are no quotation marks on the inside of my description of account (or I could remove them before that), I could then use the positioning of the quotes to remove commas inside those positions - leaving the commas for the delimiters as is.  I could then use the .split as the description/amount fields have no commas.  I think it may be better to create a script of the event rather than down this solution from the point of view to keep administration as simple as possible
    • Yes, we could do a search and replace in the excel file to remove the apostrophes before import, but it's no fun

    Thanks for any advice or input!

    Dan

    Hi Dan,.

    If your line is delimited by comma and quote qualified, you can consider the delimiter as QuoteCommaQuote or ', ' because it comes between each field.  Think about it like that, then simply divided by this value:

    split("\",\"")

    Here's something I put together in Eclipse:

    strRecord = "\"\",\"0300-100000\",\"Account description with an apostrophe ' \",\"$1,000.00\",\"$1,000.00\",\"$1,000.00\",\"$1,001.00\",\"$1,002.00\""

    strFields = strRecord.split("\",\"")

    strDescriptionWithoutApos =  strFields[2].replace("'", "")   'remove the apostrophe

    strAmountInLastCol = strFields[-1:].replace("\"", "")        'You'll need to strip off the last quote from the last field

    print strDescriptionWithoutApos

    print strAmountInLastCol

  • How to use parallelism in the RMAN script with multiple lines

    Gurus,

  • Photoshop editor 13 gel, what happens if I use 8 editor with organizer 13?

    Seeing no resolution, then what happens if I use Photoshop 8 Editor (that works) and 13 Organizer (which works)?  Organizer 8 has an error and stops, but editor 13 freezes.  So can I use Publisher 8 with 13 Organizer?

    Hello

    Each version of the editor is only designed to integrate completely with the corresponding version of Organizer - so the simple answer is probably not.

    However, I'm not sure where the Organizer fits into your current workflow. If you were to work like this, you should be able to make it work.

    (1) the scan in the documents using your external application and place the EDUSAT's images in a folder, told WIP-(do not import in the Organizer again).

    (2) use the editor version 8 to manipulate the images you want and save to a folder, say WIP-Out - make sure you clear the option to include it in the organizer of items he will try to add pictures to the catalog version 8

    (3) using the 13 organizer version, import the pictures in the WIP-Out folder. You can then move the images to any other folder, as required, using the Organizer 13 version.

    This workflow assumes that you don't need to keep the scanned image of the moose.

    I'll take a look at your other thread to see if I can suggest any resolution it.

    Hello... I work with ADF BC and my connection is with a MS SQL Server database.  I added the sqljdbc4.jar in my template project, and can't seem to connect with the DB and build an Entity/View/AppMod infrastructure.  However, once I deploy the application on the integrated WebLogic Server I get errors when ADF BC tries to connect.  I added a POJO supported data control and tried to debug but PPR reports an error when my key to call the code stripped of JDBC:

    I have a desktop with Windows Vista. Many times, the screen is the gel with an error massage "video Mode not supported". What could be the problem and the solution. ?

    Hi Izzy Nagar,

    ·         Exactly when you receive this error message?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         Do you have any extended monitor connected to the computer in the past or at the present time?

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: You can try to reduce the resolution of the screen (lower), then check if the message still appears.

    Check also if the refresh rate of the monitor is set correctly and check the manual of the monitor for assistance.

  • using friends disc with my product key

    If I reinstalled vista on a friends disk to my laptop which was pre-installed with vista that crashed, I'd be able to use my original product key?

    Well, the worst case, you will need to call the manufacturer of the laptop computer (your own) and ask them to send you a set of recovery/restore CD/DVD - if you don't have a lot to lose.  Go ahead.

    When you say, 'crashed', what do you mean?  Unless the hard drive is dead (physically) then you should be able to use any restore process has been integrated into the system (unless it's a CD/DVD set you have obtained/summer supposed to do and you lost TI/never fact).
