VSM 4 snaps and vmware
Hello. I have an environment that consists of hosts esxi 5.1, vcenter 5.5 and 4 VSM. I have a question about recovering files of catch instant equalllogic. I did it with success in cloning the snapshot and the vmdk mounted another guest vm but it seems there is a better way to do it without wasting time and space through cloning. Since I already have a component data store snap-in can't get this data bank in vcenter? It won't let me see the data store of having the same signature as the data store existing. Is there a solution for this? Also can I add the vmdk from wink to my existing guest VM without any problems? I get a warning that the guest virtual machine already has a player with the signature, and it can cause starting problems when you use the clone vmdk. Thank you.
To recover a file, I do not use VSM recover option. I bring the snapshot online EQL GUI. A new analysis on a node ESXi. Do "Add storage" and will the snapshot. Then I use a test VM and add the VMDK this VM. Then you can copy the files you need quickly. I use test VM, because when you did, you have to stop the virtual machine in order to remove the VMDK of this VM.
One of the main reasons for the VSM uses is a clone, if you book enough reserve snapshot, the snapshot might get deleted during the restore process. The partial copy would invalidate probably your VM and the worst case, there was only one snapshot lets you down. A clone ensures that can't happen.
If you want to copy a VMDK together, you can do that too. Same process as above but don't add it to a virtual computer. Using the VI client browse to the snapshot, find the VM and the right mouse on the VMDK and make a 'copy', then you can 'stick' on the origin of the VMDK. It is faster I think.
Remember, make sure you have instant reserve or active Instant loan if you want to do this.
Finally, when you are finished with the snapshot, go to EQL GUI. Put it in offline mode. THEN go to the VI client and rescan this node. Configuration-> adapters for storage-> right mouse on iSCSI adapter-> Rescan.
Kind regards

MMC has detected an error in a snap and it - will disembark for Admin tools
I am trying to execute the Task Scheduler and I get the error:
MMC has detected an error in a snap and he will land.I believe that this has happened after that windows update install SP2.
The link is a post on the forums of vista with screen grabs:

Is it possible to re - install the MMC & plug-in?
If not, I guess the next step is a Windows repair from the Vista disc?
If not, I guess the next step is a Windows repair from the Vista disc?
Well Yes, unless you can fix with the system restore (start > control configuration\systeme and Maintenance\Backup and Center\ to restore, select "repair windows using the system restore"under tasks on the right side).

I try to use the software provided with an external hard drive and cannot launch the it, I get an error launch. The external drive is an external drive 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro comes pre-loaded with Memeo instant backup and the Seagate dashboard. I could connect the HDD and install programs, but when I try to open them I get «dashboard of Memeo Launcher has stopped working...» Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... "and then nothing. I contacted Toshiba (the laptop manufacturer), Seagate and now I want to know if anyone here can help you. I use a new laptop with a hard drive inside (where the reason for buying the external hard drive, my last hard drive became corrupt and had to be replaced, rather worry not lose everything if she goes again) and I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, and it is compatible with the software on the external hard drive. When I tried to fix the problem with the Seagate tech support, I encountered the error "MMC has detected an error in a snap and it will unload" and I can report the problem/close MMC or "unload the snap and keep it running". When I select this option (which it is by default), I get the following:
Unhandled exception in Managed Code snapFX: {c7b8fb07-bfe1-4c2e-9217-7a69a95bbac4}An exception was thrown by the target of a call.Exception type:System.Reflection.TargetInvocationExceptionException stack trace:at System.RuntimeTypeHandle.CreateInstance (RuntimeType type, Boolean publicOnly, Boolean noCheck, Boolean & canBeCached, RuntimeMethodHandle & ctor, Boolean & bNeedSecurityCheck)at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceSlow (Boolean publicOnly, Boolean fillCache)at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl (Boolean publicOnly, Boolean fillCache, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks)at System.Activator.CreateInstance (Type type, nonPublic Boolean)at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl (BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object [] args, CultureInfo culture, Object [] activationAttributes)at System.Activator.CreateInstance (Type type, BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object [] args, CultureInfo culture, Object [] activationAttributes)at System.Activator.CreateInstance (String assemblyName, String typeName, Boolean ignoreCase, BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object [] args, CultureInfo culture, object [] activationAttributes, evidence securityInfo, StackCrawlMark & stackMark)at System.Activator.CreateInstance (String assemblyName, String typeName)at System.AppDomain.CreateInstance (String assemblyName, String typeName)at System.AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap (String assemblyName, String typeName)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Internal.SnapInClient.CreateSnapIn (String assemblyName, String typeName)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Internal.ClassLibraryServices.Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Internal.IClassLibraryServices.CreateSnapIn (String assemblyName, String typeName)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.SnapInInitializationOperation.OnStart)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.Operation.Start)to Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.RunningOperationsTable.EnqueueOperation (operation)to Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.NamespaceExtensionComponentData.GetScopeNodeForExpand (IDataObject dataObject, IntPtr hScopeItem)to Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.ComponentData.OnExpandSync (IDataObject dataObject, IntPtr hScopeItem)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.ExpandSyncMmcNotification.OnNotify (IntPtr dataObject, arg, IntPtr, IntPtr param)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.MmcNotifyTarget.Notify (IntPtr dataObject, eventType NotificationType, arg, IntPtr, IntPtr param)at Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Executive.ComponentData.Notify (IntPtr dataObject, eventType NotificationType, arg, IntPtr, IntPtr param)I tried to find a solution online, but the Microsoft Fix - it tool does not work on my operating system. I also tried that fix environmental variable of all WAY and also has not worked. I can't believe that there is no solution to this problem available and I can't imagine why Microsoft made a patch available for only PART of its operating system.Can anyone help? I can probably use the external drive without the software, but for those who want to manually move the files to back up, and on the other hand, it beats paying more money for a better player with preloaded software, if you do not use the software. And because it came with the software loaded on it, going back to the retail store is not an option.Someone at - it some light on this would be really appreciated. I won't have one problem throwing another thing - just the software for the external drive. I already have the uninstall/reinstall the software thing fact, several times, and she even got to have to perform a system restore and uninstall it again. Also reformatted the external hard drive & reinstalled. No luck.Hello
· How is Windows reinstalled on the new hard drive internal?
· You are able to install other software?
I suggest that you create the new user account and check if the current profile is corrupted and try to install the software and check if the problem persists, proceed in the link below:

VMware Fusion 7 and VMware Tools - leak memory in Debian comments
At some point during my updates from Mac OS X to Yosemite, VMware Fusion to 7.x and my Debian a guest to 8.0 "Jessie" on my 2012 Mackbook Pro, leaking memory of the Linux kernel is developed. If I follow these steps, then I'd lose soon about 3 GB memory of the core area.
- Install Debian Jessie in a new machine virtual de VMware Fusion
- Install open-vm-tools or VMware Tools bundled.
- Perform an intensive IO as operation simply cat/dev/zero |-c 1000000000 head >/tmp/test.txt.
- Smem - wtk and see ~ 3 GB memory under the dynamics of the kernel memory, benefit.
I opened the 15709682007 assistance request and the representative said that they will fix the problem in a future release. In the meantime, I have what seems to be a workaround for someone else that is affected. Basically, pulling packages from backports jessie seems to have solved the problem. This is based on the comments added to open-vm-tools.
- Add the Debian repository -backports jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list
- sudo apt - get update; sudo apt - get install t Jessie-backports open-vm-tools-dkms open-vm-Tools-Office
- sudo apt - get - t jessie-backports dist-upgrade (install kernel 4.1)
- Restart comments
A few quick thoughts:
1. If you have several virtual machines (or other programs) running on your computer host and VMware Fusion detects that there is memory pressure on your host computer, it uses the "balloon" (vmw_balloon for the latest distributions of Linux) Guest pilot to fly some memory of the guest OS. This memory "stolen" would appear as memory Dynamics non-cache kernel inside the guest. Running "sudo rmmod vmw_balloon" should release all memory climbed to the guest OS. Note that using the balloon driver generally improves the performance of the guest and host, despite the appearance of fear "used memory" inside the guest-"used memory" is just a thing of accounting that we had to use in order to change the priority of the memory between the host and the guest. It is not "used" in the conventional sense of the term.
2. I believe that recent versions of virtual hardware non-cache dynamic kernel allocate the necessary memory for SVGA and 3D features (display RAM, texture RAM, etc.). Disable graphic 3D acceleration or by reducing the amount of graphics shared memory if you are using a new version of virtual hardware (both in the VM > settings... > display) might help. Decommissioning of a virtual equipment as early (in the VM > settings... > compatibility) can also help.
See you soon,.

Hi guys
We are a data center that provides services with replication of Veeam, now a customer is thinking to reproduce their site but using Vmware replication...
you see nothing wrong with having two different products, reproducing in our Datacenter or say 1 vCenter?
Important Veeam replicates a group of virtual machines and Vmware replication will replicate another different group of virtual machines
Thank you very much
Hi Escapem2,
Yes, it should be possible. There is not no problem if you use two sellers for a data center or 1 VC from the point of view of replication. You'll have to make sure all the configuration requirements are met.
In the replication of VMware, you will need to install the unit of replication vSphre, Sami is managed based on using the web client. On the other hand, Veem replication has their console where you add your ESXi or VC.
Both these replication technologies are at VM level, there should be no problem until you choose a different set of virtual machines for setting replication job. (There will not be any conflict)
Prospect management VMware replication helps as it is managed by the same web client that manages the entire VMware infrastructure. But there will be a difference from the point of view feature set.
I suggest you first zoom before why customer wishes to go for VMware replication and make the right decision. But you can use the two together.
Please see:

P.S.: Award points if it's useful/correct.

Differences between POS and Vmware data recovery
Hi, I wonder if vSphere5.1 has changed the name of recovering data vmware VMware Data Protection (WTP).
I found that the download link illustrates the Vmware data recovery before vSphere5.0 and Vmware data protection after vSphere5.1.
I think the same goes for Vmware recvoery data POS, but I want to confirm here.
Hello
You can find more information here: https://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/vsphere/VMware-vSphere-Data-Protection-Product-FAQ.pdf
Replace protection data of vSphere VMware Data Recovery?
Yes. vSphere Data Protection replaces the legacy VMware
In vSphere data recovery function. vSphere Data Protection
provides equivalent to VMware Data Recovery scalability with
a stronger and more effective backup engine.

I have activated the mode of sharing folders on the virtual machine, but does not know how to back up quicken and quickbooks programs. When I go to backup guests they ask the location of the disk I want to back up but I can't understand how to access the machine time or share files to box. I'm not that computer, so that helps too.
I sympathize with you. I am new to MAC and VMWare Fusion myself. I have created a shared folder on my desttop called to speed up backups and backup files to save to this folder by using the change menu in the backup dialog box to identify the folder where I want to store the backup files. I also check the date added to each so I can keep a few identifiable backups separately for my record if they ever need.

Level of encryption between Wyse ThinOS and VMware View desktop
Can someone help me determine the level of encryption between my Wyse thin clients and virtual desktops.
I use the latest Wyse ThinOS and VMware View connection Server 4.0.
I have a manual desktop pool configured with things THAT RDP disabled. I'm also using smart card authentication.
With direct disabled RDP is a configuration of SSL tunnel for the connection to the server and the RDP session to the virtual desktop by tunnel through this SSL connection?
Yes that's right, although strictly that you should say server/connection security as if you use a security server, then this is endpoint of the tunnel rather than the CS.

VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player
I have a simple question: what is the difference between VMWARE Workstation and VMWARE Player.
I have 2 PCs at home and have Windows Vista Home Edition and Windows XP Pro, I want to install Windows 98, to play older games.
VMWare has free download, will this work? what I need?
THX
I used the two products but I prefer VMware products for my virtualization needs, which neither include playing games.
In all sincerity, if you already have Windows 98 SE and the game sitting there, then I was going just to download VMware Player and test it. You could probably do that more quickly then go through all that.
If the Alien vs Predator game talk you is indicated to Aliens versus Predator (video game) and its system requirements, then I would Imaging VMware Player, that's all you need to give it a go and if you don't like not the performance or you can't find a VMware Player fairly easy to work with then try Microsoft virtualization product.

I just heard a rumor that there may be some
problems with Microsoft Server 2008 and VMware version 4.0. We are in
the planning process of a move from Novell to AD and I need to check
If there is a problem.
in fact, there is a problem (again), involving most of the time the upgrade of virtual hardware version 4 virtual hardware version 7, and she is related to the way Windows 2008 handles the mounting of 2 or several disks (standard windows 2008 t - it a way, Windows 2008 Enterprise made the opposite effect)
