VCB with option fullvm and RDM

Is it just me, or we had to sacrifice the ability to snapshot a RDM in order to obtain a VCB backup to exclude a crazy RDM volume?

It seems, from what I can find, VCB v 1.5 will attempt to save the entire vm if it is capable of taking snapshots of the reader. The only way to exclude the player from the computer the process VCB virtual therefore put it to the Independent.

It's frustrating, because I have a SQL Server with a disc of TB Raw 1 attached, and I want only the C: drive at the level of the backup image.  Howevere when patches and development changes are made it is nice to be able to apply a snapshot to the whole machine.  Someone at - he found a way to get just VCB capture readers C: from the virtual computer for backup?

Hey Fishface.

(I want to say that the way the most affectionate, of course!) You can use vcbSnapshot and vcbExport to selectively back up files VMDK. Take a look at this post. It is rather dated, but still works. The only thing is that if you use a more recent backup software, you will need to use pre and post processing of the scripts instead of the GUI, but it works very well...

  • Storage vmotion a VM with so many vmdk and RDM for NFS

    I try a virtual machine that has so much Storage VMotion vmdk and RDM disks to a NFS data store.

    I do NOT need convert the RDM disks just move the pointer with the VMDK file will be converted.

    Is this possible?

    Now if I try this hot svmotion, I get an error on the RDM which set out the following "virtual disk" drive hard 3' is a direct access mapped LUN that is not supported on the data store 'myEMCNFSds'.»»

    If I try this svmotion cold then I get no warning, but it seems that svmotion is trying to convert the RDM NFS drive.

    Is your RDM in physical compatibility mode?   Check out this article KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001856

  • In v31.0, I can view is more 'raw' XML files with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' characters. Is there a setting that will give me this option?

    Until a few days ago when I opened a file XML with Firefox, I see the content of the file appears with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' and elements. Like this:

    fixed image in < typeOfResource > < / typeOfResource >

     <genre authority="marcgt">picture</genre>
 <genre authority="nmc">Print, Photographic</genre>
 <originInfo>
   <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued>
   <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued>
   <issuance>monographic</issuance>
 </originInfo>
 <language>

    Now, it will display like this:

     still image picture Print, Photographic 1884 1884 monographic eng electronic

    No tags or line breaks. I need to see the entire XML file. How can I configure FireFox to display this for me? One of my colleagues uses v31.0 and XML views with tags and the line breaks for him.

    For example, I was looking at files sitemap.xml (search Google for inurl:sitemap.xml). For those who have not declared a style sheet, you should always see the classic "source highlight: presentation

    Example: http://www.website.com/sitemap.xml

    Are the files that don't appear as similar planned by not declaring a style sheet?

    As a temporary workaround, you can view the source to see the original. Either:

    • CTRL + u
    • Right click > view Page Source

  • Is it possible to use Storage Vmotion with VMFS and RDM virtual tool?

    Hello!

    You can use the tool Storage Vmotion to move a server that is running both VMFS disks and RDM virtual drives inside?

    Both SAN is EMC and Vmware ESX and Virtual Center can be reached.

    Thank you!

    For storage on the SAN again the two hosts will need access to the storage. You can then you copuld cold migrate the virtual computer. First, you will need to stop the virtual machine and delete the mapping of RDM. Once the virtual machine is the new data store re-create the mapping of RDM (Bothe hosts will need to access the LUN backend).

  • Storage vMotion and RDM

    I have a question for you about storage vMotion. I have a virtual machine with a vmdk file and a RDM. I want to storage vmotion the vmdk file. There is also a file associated with the ROW pointer. How this pointer file is reassocie to the RDM? I'm evacuating small LUNS and move virtual machines to the largest lun.

    On page 199 and 201 of the basic ESX Administrator's Guide, it states that, if I select "same as Source for a RDM, only the mapping file will be migrated. Have you done this before? I just wanted to see if anyone in the field has had an experience with this process.

    7. If you chose to move the virtual machine configuration file and virtual disks, select a disc format, and then click

    Next.

    Description of the option

    Same as Source to use the format of the original virtual disk.

    If you select this option for a RDM in physical or virtual drive

    compatibility mode, only the mapping file is migrated.

    Thin provisioned using the format thin to save storage space. The thin virtual disk use as

    storage space because it needs for its initial implementation. When the virtual disk

    needs more space, it can grow in size up to its maximum allowed of capacity.

    This option is not available for RDM in physical compatibility mode. If you

    Select this option for a virtual RDM compatibility mode, the ROW is

    converted to a virtual disk. RDM converted virtual disks cannot be

    converted into RDM.

    Thick allocate an amount fixed disk space for the virtual disk. The virtual

    drive in thick format does not change its size and from the beginning

    occupies the entire data store space for her.

    This option is not available for RDM in physical compatibility mode. If you

    Select this option for a virtual RDM compatibility mode, the ROW is

    converted to a virtual disk. RDM converted virtual disks cannot be

    converted into RDM.

    Thank you

    Hi Savoy6,

    When you sVmotion a virtual machine with a disc RDM, the pointer file is re-created on the new location and points to the raw LUN.

    Take a look at this kb for more information.

  • I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Please help me.

    Hi I am experiencing strange problem for 15 to 20 days and I am not able to change the video quality for you tube. There are only two options 360 and Auto. Help me please if you can because I have a slow internet connection and I want to play video at 240, as it was before. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could check you whether YouTube is to serve its HTML5 player or the player based on Flash? If you right click on the drive, short a context menu should appear. If the full Firefox context menu is displayed, press and release the ALT key to erase that. The last line of the menu short usually indicates which player he is.

    I'll assume HTML5 because...

    On Windows 7, Firefox should show a wide range of formats in the HTML5 player. However, if some of the features of media are disabled, preventing video MP4 decoding, then YouTube offers only 360 p (with WebM coding).

    If you have intentionally disabled Media Foundation and/or DirectShow in topic: config, then perhaps you would prefer to use the YouTube Flash Player? There are a few Add-ons that can force YouTube to serve you a Flash drive. Either of them will do, you don't need both:

I have on the left side of my black ports two laptops and Satellite on the right two blue ports.

  • Satellite Pro C650D - problems with the audio and game controllers

    Hello

    I recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones and game controllers.
    Sometimes the microphone stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

    Stakeholders sometimes still work when I connect headset.
    Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers while some coming through the headphones.

    I have a usb game controller which also did not work everything properly.
    If I assign buttons in the program that they do not work in the game.

    All these devices are in Device Manager in a group that makes me think it's sort of annoying update doubtful that messes with them.

    Any body have similar problems or know what to do better?

    See you soon

    Hello

    Can you please send some details on the laptop model and the system you are using?

    With regard to the issue of sound/mic:
    > The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

    Are you talking about internal microphone or external? This only happens using Skype?
    In your case I would test the microphone using different applications to make sure that is not a Skype related issue.

    > Yet sometimes the speakers work when I connect headset.
    I recommend this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295

    The user has had a similar problem, but this phenomenon was linked to the Realtek HD Audio Manager settings.
    She wrote:
    + In the upper right corner, there is a small yellow folder called "Connector settings" in my version. +
    + There, finally I could re-enable the setting "enable popup dialog box, when the unit is plugged. +

    + So now when I plug an external speaker or headphones, it appears, and I select the option "helmet" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+

    Regarding the game controller:

    > If I attribute buttons in the program, they do not work in the game.
    I put t think its problem of laptop in my opinion, you must make sure that the controller is compatible with the games you play and also recommended to check some info provided by the manufacturer of the game controller.

  • I really enjoyed having the option 'Save and exit' when I closed my browser, but since I updated Firefox this option is no longer available for me. How can I get that back?

    I currently have Firefox 4.0.1.

    Record of the tabs was not removed from Firefox 4, but it works a little differently.

    • By default, Firefox 4 will not ask to save tabs, but instead, it will automatically save your tabs on the output unless you're in private browsing mode. You can restore the next time by:

      1. by clicking on the Firefox button > history > "restore previous Session ', or
      2. type of Subject: House in the URL bar and press the Enter key, then press the button "restore previous Session."
      3. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit
    • Note: This was a decision by the developers. On this forum, we are all volunteers without compensation here to help other users. Develop them and employees of Mozilla/Firefox rarely, if ever visit here.

    To display the message "save tabs and exit" when closing multiple tabs, you can do the following:

    1. Type of topic: config in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    2. Accept the warning message (promise to be careful)
    3. Open the preferences/list page
    4. Filter = browser.tabs.warnOnClose
    5. If its value is set to false, double-click top (in the lower panel) to toggle its value to true
    6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the 3 following preferences also:
      • browser.warnOnQuit
      • browser.warnOnRestart
      • browser.showQuitWarning
    7. See:

    Things to check if the tabs are not saved:

    1. Browsing history must be saved

      • Button Firefox: Firefox button > Options > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
      • Menu bar: Tools > Options > privacy > [X] Remember my browsing history
    2. Also, make sure that you do not erase "Browsing history" when you use clear recent history or when Firefox is closed
      • Using clear recent history

        • Button Firefox: Firefox button > history > clear recent history
        • Menu bar: Tools > clear recent history
      • When Firefox is closed
    3. Make sure that you are not in private browsing mode or in private browsing mode permanent:
    4. If you have the Tab Mix Plus extension, and then clear the built-in session restore.
