VMDK file unreadable after migration of VM &; update of the ESX Server
Last night we have updated the ESX servers here and in the migration process machines from one node to the other (by placing a single node of the cluster in maintenance mode). During this migration, the VMs one has stopped running. When we finished the migration and had updated the ESX Server, we brought the system to the top and tried to start this virtual machine.
First, we looked in the directory of the virtual machine and saw that the VMDK file has a different name, with - dish at the end (before hard). We have renamed the file, removing the - flat extension, and this is where we saw these messages. ESX Server always gbehaved as if the file did not exist or was unreadable. Here is an extract from the log:

The VMDK file is indeed the most, but VMware seems unable to open it. For what it's worth, it was also noted a .hlog file in the directory of the virtual machine on the server:
cognos4dios. Zurich.IBM.com - 3 c 377802 .hlog:
C2 C0 71 17 14 6 b6 01-49 fb 00 1 a 64 35 20 e9
Anyone can shed some light on this? Done-flat suffix in the VMDK file have a special meaning? Any recommendations for the rescue of this virtual machine?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards

Thanks for the return of the response. Are you able to perform a system restore, sometime before the Windows updates? If you can do this, I'd install each update at the same time to confirm your program still works correctly.

I've just updated Illustrator CC to 19.2.0 on my MacBook Pro under OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and all my boxes floating palettes/menu and the toolbar data are all empty boxes are transparent, allowing me to see the desktop behind them by about 50 percent. Also, all dialog boxes to save a document or Illustrator preferences, etc. all open totally empty, so I can't make adjustments to what it is. I've deleted preferences, restarted, Illustrator uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CC, rebooted about 17 times more and no change at all. I can spend the workspaces and this doesn't change anything, either, nor is check or uncheck Application frame. I can't find anything in the forums to help me. This is ridiculous and I can't work, Please HELP.
As for the vacuum cleaner, you may consider to ask more questions here:

Copy Virtual Machine on the ESX Server windows file server (files)
I made a copy of a computer virtual with Vmware converter and it is sitting on the windows file server, is there a way to copy the files to the server, ESX4? Something like a copy and paste?
Thanks in advance!
Simply right click on the data store you want to place the files on (Summary tab when selecting one of the hosts connected to this data store), select "Browse the data store" and then use the button "transfer files to this data store. You can use it to download a folder or file from a target, that you access from your system. It might make things easier if you create a folder in the store of data first, and then download the files one at a time. Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off when you do.
Another option might be to vMotion/migrate it from current storage to a data store in the ESX environment. I did not the same type of migration before, it will or will not be, works correctly. I moved files VM from a source, see my workstation, up to a data store that the ESXi host has a connection to before without problem (with the virtual machine powered off course).

How to rename ASM starts after cloning disks of origin on the same server. ASMlib is used
RHE Linux 6
The single-instance grid installed Oracle (Oracle Restart) 11.2.0.4
Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.4 installed
A 11.2.0.4 single-instance database running
Our ASM GAVE, REDO, FRA mounted diskgroup
We need to do a snapshot of storage for the creation of a copy of the current start ASM DATA, REDO, FRA on THE SAME server. Then we rename it cloned starts using the renamedg command.
We did this several times if ASMlib is not used. For example, the command used when ASMlib is not used is:
renamedg = newdgname = verbose = FRA2 FRA dgname true phase = the two asm_diskstring = "/ dev/oracle/fra *'"
With ASMlib in use, I'm not sure the steps to follow
First of all I'm not sure what should be provided to the asm_diskstring for the renamedg command parameter. I provide an asm_diskstring that identifies the path pointing to records belonging to the diskgroup cloned (I don't want to rename the original diskgroup). But ASM instance using ASMlib is the asm_diskstring parameter is in ' ORCL: *'.
Second, I guess that after the rename diskgroup than asmlib returns an error because she would double discs.
Could you please tell?
Thanks in advance
Massi
Hello
As you clone OS level, you have same ASMlib label.
ASMlib mount always unique ASMLib label only.
+ You must identify these newly cloned device.
+ Rename these ASMLib force-renamedisk label after 1 Mb disk backup using dd read on a node.
+ Then run scandisks on other nodes.
+ Validate newly approved device is mounted or not on all nodes.
$ ls - ltr/oracleasm/dev/discs / *.
+ Run command with asm_diskstring of/dev/discs/oracleasm renamedg / *.
Kind regards

Shut down or migrate VM offline (on a disconnected ESX Server)
We have 4 ESX servers in our infrastructure. After a failure of three of them under tension, but there is not (esx-02).
On this host, we have virtual machine called f12-dns-02. Now esx - 02 is disconnected, but this always considered virtual machineis as running, why?
We can't stop it or move to another host (each option is disabled).
How can turn us this machine to another esx Server?
The virtual machine must be registed for this ESX host running vmware-cmd commands. and if you are in the directory of the virtual machine then you can use #vmware - cmd vm.vmx stop
#vmware - cmd vm.vmx stophard
If the second command does not work, try again with a space between the stop and hard
So without the SSH access, I think that what you use is device of vMA.

Recent files Photoshop CC will not be updated and the workspace changes are not saved
Hello
My recent files have not been updated since I upgrade my Photoshop version lates (2015.1). My work space also seems to be reset every time I open Photoshop. For example, the pen tool s always changed back to brush, wand to the Quick Selection tool, etc.. Is it possible to change this to Photoshop settings?
Best,
Janne
Hi mcjannet,.
We can reproduce the same question at the end as well and our team of engineers working on the same.
However, if you are not able to see the recent file to the recent folder tab, you can try to reset the Photoshop preferences.
Steps to follow:
To re-create the Photoshop preferences files, start the application while pressing Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or command + Option + shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file?"
Kind regards

I did everything that was asked to update my acrobat reader, who showed on my computer. When I couldn't do in a first time, I followed the instructions, save it to run first to change browsers, etc. etc. I uninstalled my control panel of my acrobat reader program and NOW I can't open any pdf course or install little matter what I do, and how many times I repeat and change according to their instructions. I'm more than embarrassed because I spent the last 4 hours trying to install it and update or reinstall, etc, etc and I have it in my past as a career. It's a known issue, bug, of course, if someone needs to contact me to Adobe and let me know what they will do about it.
Please help because I know what is happening in the world and I know that Adobe must have a solution outside everything what they propose that do not work.
Thank you to all those who have different ideas of what is happening on the websites of ADOBE

1 of my many files of Yahoo is no longer synchronize with the Yahoo Server
I have about 10 email folders in my Yahoo account. Everything was going well until I renamed 2 of them. Now, 1 of these 2 files is empty but if I go to yahoo.com everything is still there. Thunderbird is is more synchronized with it. Why is this happening? How can I force a reconnect?
Yes, I subscribe and try to resubscribe again - nothing has changed.
I also went to the folder properties and to 'fix' but still nothing.
I just moved to a new email in this folder and it appears not to be in the file, if I go via yahoo.com.
UPDATE: I just went to new and without subscription and then subscribed and now it works.
