• TimesTen 11.2.2.5.0 - backup (.bacxyz) files created by the ttBackup much larger than the data store

  Hello

  have a question about the files generated by the internal ttBackup utility on our systems.

  We have a pair of storage of data replicated with DS following sizes on disk in a two-way manner:

  -rw - rw - 1 timesten, timesten 48922624 24 August at 12:45 tt41data.ds0

  -rw - rw - 1 timesten, timesten 48922624 24 August at 13:00 tt41data.ds1

  -rw - rw - 1 timesten, timesten 38895616 24 August at 12:46 tt41data.ds0

  -rw - rw - 1 timesten, timesten 38895616 24 August 12:31 tt41data.ds1

  Looking at the backup files generated via /ttBackup - force - dir xxx

  You can see on the first:

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 48922624 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.0.bac

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 720 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.sta

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 475060224 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.0.bac245

  While on the second:

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 38895616 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.0.bac

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 83904512 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.0.bac248

  -rw - 1 timesten, timesten 720 24 August at 12:34 tt41data.sta

  So while the .bac file is consistent with the size of the DS on the disk, the bacxyz shows a huge difference on the second case.

  Undersand it is an internal utility, but I would like to understand the significance of this file, did not find much in the documentation.

  Also tried using - type streamFull and the generated files differs for a factor of 4 x.

  Check the number of tuples, they are pretty much the same thing, as the ds size seems to imply, but cannot understand the enormous size of the file bac.xxx on the second node, what is the significance of this file?

  Thanks in advance!

  
  Mike

  The .bac file is essentially a copy of the most recent checkpoint file (ds0/ds1) while the .bacxyz file is a single file that is a fusion of all the files (tt41data.lognnnnnn files) transaction logs needed to recover from this checkpoint file. So depending on the State of your database (in terms of number of log files present on the drive and which of them are actually required) by the time you take the backup of the file .bacxyz can vary in size from very small to very large. If you want to make sure the file .bacxyz has the smallest possible size, you must issue a checkpoint manually, and wait until it finishes before running the ttBackup command.

• The snapshot files exist on the data store, but not in the Snapshot Manager

  I searched for a question of space on one of our virtual machines throughout the morning.  I finally found that the virtual machine has two snapshot files (total of 120 GB) on the data store.

  The problem is that these pictures are not in the snapshot

  Manager. How can I get rid of these files from snapshots, recover the 120 GB drive

• Remove-disk hard leaves file hard on the data store

  Hello world!

  I'm writing a powershell script to remove VHDs from a virtual machine.

  I can use Remove - hard drive to detach from the virtual machine, but it seems to leave the VMDK files on the data store.  Is there a way to physically remove the disks too?

  Thank you

• Why is the Windows backup file larger than the original disk?

  I just used the system on Windows 7 backup utility to back up to an external hard drive (USB). I'm curious to know why the backup hard disk file is 170 GB when my computer has only 103 GB used on a 150 GB C drive. Also, should it more than 8 hours to run?

  When you back up your computer using backup software and that you select the default options in the backup process that you backup not only installation Windows (C:\) but also other files you can have outside of the default installation.  Also, some files may been compressed into your windows installation may have been expanded to ensure that the intergerity backup file.

• < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < indeterminate datastore >

  Hello

  I use vSphere4 and I'm having problems, create snapshots of virtual machines.  I get the following error when I try and take a snapshot...

  File & lt; filename not specified & gt; is larger that the maximum size supported by the store data "& lt; not stated the store data & gt;

  If I check all disks assigned to the virtual machine, the block sizes are ok.  All the disks are of block size of 1 MB and less 60GB, except one that is 600GB and a 4 MB block size.  There are also free space on each data store with being less 5,30 Go which I guess should be much more than enough to create a snapshot.

  In addition, whenever I try and create a snapshot, it creates a file called SERVER - Snapshot1.vmsn, 2, 3, 4 etc. on the main data store.

  Is it possible that because of the single disc of 600 GB, VMware prevents me from taking a snapshot?

  Here is the config...

  See the attached file for disk configuration information.  Operating system drive is the drive where the snapshots are created.

  Basic disks refers to all disks assigned to the virtual machine. Given that, by default, the snapshot is stored the vmx file, this data store should be able to potentially create a VMDK your largest disk size, assuming that you change every block in the vmdk.

  In your case, it should support a snapshot that can potentially reach 600 GB to one of your drives, and so needs a block of size on the VMFS volume to support this. You can redirect the snapshots to another logic unit number and so to work around this problem (Storage VMotion is another option) limitation.

  Trust, this clears up a little.

• 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?

• < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore '< indeterminate datastore >.

  I know that this issue has much spoken in the forums, but the answers are always to make sure that your block sizes are set to 8 MB - mine are already. Let me explain:

  I have a virtual machine with a large amount of connected storage - something along the lines of discs 10 x 1.99 to. Sit all VMDK on partitions of the VMFS of 8 MB of size block, including the configuration of the VM (location of the pagefile).

  Every time I try and snapshot of the virtual machine, I see the "< unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >. All other virtual machines instant fine, but any other VM has a similar amount of storage as the VM problem.

  I have now moved the configuration files of the virtual machine to a new partition VMFS 5 of 1.91 TB, but the instant error persists. Most of the readers is sitting on VMFS 3.33 or 3.46. It will take me a while to move all VMFS 5 to see if that solves the problem.

  My VMDK and volumes are smaller than 2032GB. I don't understand why, it's be a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Although ESXi 5 supports larger LUN as a raw physical devices (up to 64 TB), the maximum size of a virtual disk has not yet changed.

• file is larger than the maximum size supported by the vmware data store: snapshot fails

  Hello

  I'm having a few problems when creating a snapshot either by Veeam/vSphere client...  Here are the details...

  VM is connected to lun 2 TB RDM in virual Server files mode. The configuration file is located on the datastore to vmfs with 750 GB (block size of 8MB)

  I'm not sure whether the size of the data store creates a problem or anything else.

  All advice is appreciated...

  Thank you

  What is the exact size of the RDM? A snapshot requires little additional space for hard metadata. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384 (section: load calculation required by the snapshot files). For your ROW, this means, if the ROW is greater than 2032 GB, you will not be able to create a snapshot.

  I have read that I need to increase the size of the block, but I need to remove the data store. Is it the same on ESXi 4.0?  I have 4 other VM about 150 GB. Please tell me I'm wrong.  Please...

  Same rules apply.  Create an another LUN with the correct block size and away files or hang the lun and recreate

• Failed to create snapshot... file is larger than the size max...

  I'm getting the "file is greater than the maximum size supported by the store of data... »

  I read the KB figure I can move the. VMX file to another data store to get the snapshot to work.

  But I'm having a hard time understanding why this is happening.  I want to avoid this in the future.

  My data store is 67,50 GB of capacity, with 16.92 GB free.

  Block size is 1 MB.

  I understand that 1 MB BS may comprise a maximum of 256 GB.

  Could someone please explain in English how Vmware is the calculation that the 16 GB of free space is not enough?

  Please be nice

  Thank you.

  Yes, that is the question, 272 GB is too large for the size of block 1 data store MB. Front of vSphere 5, all snapshots are created in the home of the virtual machine folder by default. With vSphere 5, this has changed and now snapshots are created in the same folder as the virtual disks from their parent.

  The virtual disk is too large to create a snapshot on a 4MB block size data store. The maximum size of VMDK is 1,016 Go.

• The size of the estimated value of the project is larger than the chosen target support

  I am at a loss for trying to create a project using Adobe Encore.  I tried initially to the author of the project using the CS2 version.  When you try to export, I received the following message is displayed:

  "The size of the estimated value of the project is larger than the chosen target support.  While it is an estimate, the project may not build. »

  I have created hundreds of projects in the past, but have never received this message before.  I first thought that the problem was with the release of still I used, but I got the exact error that even trying to create the project with Encore CS5.

  The project itself has a menu, a motion menu, and a single video file.  The video file 152 last minute, and I was trying to export that to a double layer DVD.  I tried from the file using CS5.5 Adobe Premier export using a variety of parameters.  I'm trying to export it to a file DVD-2, with the attributes of soure game being the highest value.  The parameter on the main concept MPEG encoder is set to 5. I tried to export the file by using the constant and variable bitrates.

  When I recently exported the file using a contant 6.5 sampling rate, I still 650,4 Mo still remaining on my project.  I still received the same error message on the size of the project, and so I think that something is wrong.

  I even exported the video file into an AVI file compressed and then tried to coding again using CS5.5 Adobe Premier and Adobe encoder.  I always get the same error message on the size of the file.

  Any help or suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If you do not finish with wasted discs...

  Create an ISO (yet), or a folder on your hard drive (still or Premiere Elements), then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO on DVD or BluRay drive (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

  .

  ImgBurn will read the mark of REAL from the disk drive, which isn't always the same as the label for the box (Memorex is known for 'nothing' buy and put inside a box of Memorex)

  .

  When you write on the disk with Imgburn, use speed SLOWEST possible setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well trained" laser drill holes... Since no DVD drive is required to read a burned disc, have a 'good' after a try to white high quality will help

  Use Taiyo Yuden simple layer or layer two Verbatim

  Or Falcon Pro for inkjet printable two layer
