VMware Workstation 8 - space recovery of files deleted?

Well, I tried the compact feature in VMWare tools and who does not free up space used from the virtual machine.

Apparently the VMDK file is large, 50 GB so that when I connect to the virtual machine, it says, I have used only 25GB.

How can I return this 25 GB of files deleted from the Virtual Machine on my local drive?

Sorry for who does not know with Virtual Machines. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

what you need is the so-called "shrink" function - if I remember just which is available through the vmware-tools inside the VM Toolbox.
The GUI option has been removed in later versions

  • Issue of license VMware Workstation and VMplayer

    Hi all:


    Can anyone help to answer this question.  Thank you in advance.


    I have a valid license of VMware Workstation 9, can VMware Workstation and the VMplayer separately install on two computers and use them in business environment?

    The VMware Player delivered in the Installation of VMware Workstation is not separable from the installation of VMware Workstation or VMware Workstation license.  If you want to run VMware Player by itself then you must download the VMware Player installer, which installs only VMware Player not VMware Workstation.  You cannot cut files VMware Workstation installed between two systems.  So if you want to use it commercially you must buy a license of VMware Fusion!

    I hope that now this is clear enough for you to grab!

  • Virtual VMWARE Workstation mchines recovery of HARD drive

    I have a HDD to a now-dead PC which has a number of VMWARE Workstation Virtual Machines on it. I tried to copy this disk virtual computer files in the folder of the Virtual Machine on my current PC, but this does not seem to make the usable virtual machine. Any suggestions for the recovery of these virtual machines on my PC? Thank you!

    Thanks for your replies!

    I was able to get a couple of the virtual machine to work. The keys seem to be (a) NOT a Clone bound and (b) NO snapshots.

  • my recovery file deleted in an intuitive manner.

    I have Hp G42-477TX, I have problem with disk partition and the other program. now I want to restore my original computer to defaul lika as the factory setting. but my recovery file has been deleted by intuitively.
    can I use the Recovery Manager to restore? Although the recovery file has been deleted. .

    Please help me. .

    Thank you

    If the recovery partition is deleted, it is not possible to restore the system to factory settings. You must order the kit of recovery to restore the system to factory settings. See the following link for the procedure:

  • VMware Workstation 9: could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory

    I'll have a plethora of problems installing and get VMware Workstation 9 (9.0.2 build-1031769) to work on Ubuntu 13.04 (kernel 3.8.0 - 26-generic).

    I experienced exactly the same process on my laptop and it works perfectly, while on the desktop, it seems that everything breaks. Could someone give me some kind of help / advice on how I can do to get this working. I tried full uninstall / reinstall of the software, headers of the kernel, kernel images, different kernels, patches here on fresh installs of everything I can think of. Here are the issues I encounter in the order of importance (or so I think):

    (1) whenever I try to open my new (and virtual) machine, I get the error sequence of:

    "Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory. " Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. '--> 'Failed to initialize the device monitor. "->" cannot change the power state of VM: could not find a valid peer to connect to '


    (2) every time I try to run the following command to configure the modules on a completely fresh setting (reinstalled kernel, vmware) I get the following output:

    sudo modconfig vmware - console - install-all

    Thoughts / ideas on what is happening on earth / what could have caused this all go so downhill / how to go about fixing?

    Thank you

    Solved.

    The problem is that for another program I used gcc - 4. 4 instead of later. Restore the (by update-alternatives - config ) for gcc, g ++ and CPC - bin.

    Not a very graceful exit to have a version not valid I would say, maybe some sort of basic check could be added to ensure that the correct versions are present?

  • VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

    I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

    When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

    try to add this line in the vmx file:

    diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

    Maybe it helps.

    VMDK-type do you use?

    monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

  • Recovery of the space in a file of data/tablespace in 10g

    We have a tablespace of 30 GB, made up of 15 data files of 2 GB each. However, there are only 5 GB of data in the tables within this space of tables.

    This occurred because the database kept growing (so the new data files have been added) until it was discovered that a single journal table occupied almost all the space. When this table was truncated, he left more space free, but "fragmented" across all 15 files given.

    I'm trying to reclaim the space in the data files to be able to go back to the OS (there is no reason to keep more than 7-8GB to this tablespace).

    From what I've read, the "alter table xxx move" command must relocate the tables to new segments to the 'before' of storage space, and then we should be able to delete the empty data in the end.

    However, when I run this command on a test table, nothing appears to change everything.

    I am running:

    ALTER table AAFDTCRC move;
    ALTER index RM. Regeneration of the PKAAFDTCRC;
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats (ownname = > 'RM', tabname = > 'AAFDTCRC', estimate_percent = > null, method_opt = > 'for all THE COLUMNS of SIZE AUTO', degree = > 6);

    However, when I ask the dba_extents table, is to show the table always distributed in different data files. I use the "alter table" command incorrectly, or is the table dba_extents not up to date with new information?

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    user11198894 wrote:
    Measure sizes might be a problem. Looks like that the previous data files use a size smaller than those created after measure. And I have naven can't able to find much information about what "alter table... move" when a tablespace has more than one data file. Maybe it does work in this situation?

    You will not be able to reduce the number of files in a tablespace; so if that's your goal, you will need to create a new tablespace and move objects inside. In addition, you will not be able to avoid a performance impact, unless you use the dbms_redefinition package to move tables because the MOVE command makes the unavailable table and requires you to rebuild indexes.

    There is a note that I wrote some time back - with a pointer to a helpfuil script - which gives you a few ideas of how Oracle behaves with management space with multiple files when you move objects: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/shrink-tablespace/

    If you want to keep the same tablespace you can try something roughly like this:


    Run my script to report on the current use of space
    Reduce as much as possible all the files
    Move objects more big are reaching the end of the files
    Repeat as necessary to step 1

    Hi akpraveenand welcome to the VMware communities!

    Your laptop has Avast! Antivirus installed?  We have seen some recent reports of Avast! origin of the failure you see there.  If you have Avast! installed, you will need to uninstall temporarily to be able to install VMware Workstation (disabling Avast! is not enough).

    If you use another system antivirus or antimalware software, it may be interesting to try to disable it during the installation of VMware Workstation.

    Let us know if that solved the problem for you!

    In this machine wmware workstation 7 (latest version) is installed with autoprotect runs up to 10 daily snapshot.

    About 40 days, I converted two computers in vm... one with 32-bit vista and one with 32-bit xp.

    Every month the recent, everything works well... but yesterday all the vm was crushed because the space in my hd was full... so since the Snapshot Manager, I deleted some old snapshot.

    During the removal of a few shots, sometimes it shows me that he can't remove because the disc is always busy... but, but icon in the timeline of the Snapshot Manager went... go in the folder where I saved the files in vm, also failed in the Recycle Bin of windows.

    Once deleted, I try to turn it on again the vista 32 bit vm... aaaaahhhhhh, it does not start! and it remains pending mode... why!... If I try to take it back, all wmware workstation crash and I can only see a windows message error that vmware workstation has stopped working.

    Then I try to run the virtual machine with 32-bit xp and it work without any problem.

    Then I opened again snapshot manager and I try to use the function "go to...". "to recover a snapshot... ahhhhhh! nothing to do! It crash again!

    so I tried also to remove some files as described in this Ko... but not at all, it crash again!

    HELP ME, PLEASE! I have all my projects in this machine is very important... If I lose the...

    OK, so it looks like us (you) lost snapshot sw2 - 000010.vmdk, which was created between March 1 and March 2.

    What we need to do now is to repair the broken chain instant (because of the missing original sw2 - 000010.vmdk) and create a clone of this disc. Snapshots 000043 and 000044 contain no data and can be ignored.

    What we need to do is:

    1.) to repair the chain instant (link sw2 - 000009.vmdk to sw2 - 000006.vmdk)

    • SW2 - 000009.vmdk backup since we need to modify this file
    • Copy the sw2 - 000009.txt attached to the virtual machine file
    • Copy dsfi.exe to the virtual computers folder
    • run: 'sw2 - 000009.vmdk' dsfi.exe 512 800 'sw2 - 000009.txt.

    2.) creating a clone

    • find a drive with enough free space on the drive on which the clone will be created!
    • run: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Workstation\vmware - vdiskmanager.exe «r - t 0 \sw2clone.vmdk C:\vm\sw2\sw2-000042.vmdk»»
    • Create a new virtual machine and attach the vmdk cloned (using existing disk) instead of creating a new disc
    • Before you start the virtual machine, create a snapshot where the clone has some corrupted data and you must go back to for example to fix this virtual disk to a helper VM or open it with the disk mounter utility.
    • run the chkdsk command to check that the disc is ok

  • "Partition recovery has been deleted" Message in creation of recovery media

    HP Pavilion 2205tx - C5j09PA #UUF G4

    Windows 8 64-bit

    "Partition recovery has been deleted" Message in creation of recovery media.

    I bought my new HP pavilion laptop G4 two days ago only and has not changed anything in the two players named drive C: for windows and D: for HP Recovery.

    now, I want to do a recovery with the HP Recovery Manager software disk.

    but it shows a Massage: "Recovery of Partition was deleted" Recovery Media creation section.

    in the recovery Partition my computer is almost full (3.26 G 25.5 G is free). so I think that there are current recovery files.

    I have not access to HP to buy recovery disk or call support.

     

    Thank you

    I don't know why your PC is saying your partition disappeared - you're right, it seems to be missing. I know that if you use the wizard to help to make your recovery disks backup copies and then ask him to remove the recovery partition to give you more space on the hard drive, it will remove the factory image HP of Windows 8 for the recovery partition and let the normal Windows repair tools.

    There are tools, but which allow you to create your own recovery partition full with these tools of Windows repair and a new image of your instalation so that you can restore from that. You can use this tool: Windows 7/8 - creator of Partition Recovery OEM available here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/21978-Windows-7-8-OEM-Recovery-Partition-Creator but it's a lot of work and it would be faster and more easy just for your data backup and restoration of your HP recovery disks made you from the support Assistant. If you did not the disks, HP can opt to send you a copy... they do not normally this but I read that some people have luck to get a free copy of HP media... otherwise, they want you to buy recovery disks ($40.00). I guess it depends on the exact terms of your situation.

    An alternative is to use Macrium Reflect Free Edition to ghost or clone your system. You can then restore your entire system even with your custom programs installed, to the exact state it was when you made the backup image. (this may take several dvd) I suggest that you go down that road because your system with Macrium Reflect restore is much faster than restoring from the HP recovery discs. Even if you do not get another copy recovery disks, you must use this tool to make another backup that you can customize to your liking. Your re - installs will be faster, they will already have your chosen installed software, and you will save wear on your HP recovery disks.  You can then delete the recovery partition to regain this space on your hard drive (since you cannot access in all cases, you will not need this space being taken up).  BUT... you cannot restore Mode UEFI which is what HP comes with. You have to go into your Bios settings and switch in the Legacy Bios mode (which disables the secure boot) FIRST or else the Macruim recovery boot disk will not load to install the recovery image. After the system re - installs you can go back into the bios settings and disable bios Legacy and reactivate if secure boot you want. (Windows 8 charge mode UEFI bios active secure boot or Legacy mode... it's your choice.) UEFI mode will load faster, but it will cause problems if you want double boot the system with another OS) hope this helps.

  • Error: "VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full."

    I get this error message:

    VMware Workstation has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free 1.3 GB of additional disk space.

    I read up on the subject and found that I have to re size a partition. Anyone know what it could be? I can't find anything that looks like it has something to do with VMware. Does anyone know what size and what file system is it?

    My OS:
    Tumbleweed OpenSUSE x 64

    Thanks in advance

    On more creative, my home and root file systems were not extended to my full disk space :^)
