VStorage different Motion - copy of the file on a data store vmdk

Hi all

Hoping that someone will be able to help with a problem I have right now.

Configuration:

NetApp SAN - vmfs data warehouses.

Data for the migration store is synchronous to a recovery site.

I planned a day to the next task to migrate a VMDK virtual machines to a non synchronous Datastore to synchronous data store.  When I arrived yesterday morning - the virtual machine has been turned on - but I couldn't access the console and migration was still sitting 89% full.

Checked the Netapp Filer and found the copy of the snapshot is greater than the instant space on the volume.

SnapMirror suspend and break.  Delete the copy of Netapp snapshot on the volume.  Once I had done this on the Netapp file server - virtual machine has begun to respond to ping and I was able to access the console.

I restarted the VM Windows - to make sure everything was fine - as the date / time on the server was out of sync with the date and time - so again, I am happy that my virtual machine is now in place and running.

Problem. : I migrated virtual disks - one both of the old data store to the new - no problems - until I'm gone make the last record and felt that there is not enough space on the data store - now it would have taken and further investigation found that the virtual disk I wanted to migrate — was already sitting on the new data store.

Check the settings on the virtual machine shows that the file in question vmdk is still sitting on the old data store - but - I also have a copy of the vmdk - same size etc. - file sitting on the new data store.

RVtools displays the disk on the new data as a Zombie VMDK store.

Question: What vmdk file is the one I need to remove?  I think about the new data store - in addition, shown as a zombie in RVTools vmdk - also, shows only not the settings of the virtual machine.

All find what vmdk file, the system uses permanently.

Thank you very much

Open the .vmx file and check the path to your vmdk here.

If you can, backupo the VMDK at both ends before going any further.

as the VC (and I hope that the .vmx), as well as RVtools indicate that the destination is a zombie. . I would lean towards this being the one to delete.

In theory, if you use the browser to store data to try to remove a new and it's in use, you will get an error message, so if it removes OK, you should be good to continue from where you were before.

Good luck.

  • How can I get the size of the files in a data store?

    I use the file dsbrowse.pl as a starting point for gathering information on the data stores for different scheduled reports.

    A new requirement must provide the size of each file found in a data file store.

    Someone there guides, pointers or code they can share?

    Thank you.

    All this information is available using the API of vSphere specifically: *SearchDatastoreSubFolders_Task() , which allows all types of complex queries, including a specific type of files, models, etc..

  • Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

    Hi all

    Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

    Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

    Require some VM downtime?

    Thanks in advance a ton.

    Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

    1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

    2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

    3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

    When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

  • All my tabs are missing! Rename and copy/paste the files did not help

    I accidentally opened two windows of Firefox and closed one with all my tabs pinned first, then the second tab. After Firefox reload all my tabs are missing and I tried to rename files, copy and paste files, etc. as suggests these forums, but nothing has worked. I have myself screwed on?

    Check first the Menu history for any tab restore options.
    In the second place.
    If you have already restarted Firefox and have a copy of the files: close Firefox

    1. Open the profile folder profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data
    2. Save the previous.js recovery.bak and recovery.js under another name
    3. Place the recovery files in the profile folder.

    So that this does not happen again change your tab Preferences and settings or try Session Manager add and save your profile.

    Hi ebugsasi,
     
    To remove protect him writing on a kingston Micro SD cards, locate a switch or button on the side of the micro SD adapter card. It will normally be a symbol of locking/unlocking on it. Put it to the unlocked position.
     
    This should remove the write-protection feature.

  • How can I get a copy of the file < windows > \system32\hal.dll.

    How can I get a copy of the file \system32\hal.dll.   ?

    There are 7 possibilities for the hal.dll file and the installation of XP takes the right one to match your hardware during the installation of XP.

    That's why replace a bit difficult because you need to know which of the 7 on the XP installation CD you need.  You can guess and try things and you might get lucky, or you can try them all.  That would take some time and probably be frustrating and you would need a CD bootable XP installation genuine to start the trials and errors.

    Replace the hal.dll file becomes even more difficult, because most of the people do not have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, even if they wanted to replace the hal.dll file.  If you really want just a copy, you can understand that one you need or just copy the one you already have.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers don't ask for enough information when a new question is asked to provide you with a good idea for your problem not specified.  For all that is your problem not specified, you will need to provide additional information.

    If you see the message that your hal.dll file is missing or damaged, the chances are that the file is not really missing or damaged... Windows XP just can not find the file.

    Fix hal.dll "missing or corrupted" message is usually not too demanding and has nothing to do with the replacement of the file.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    Please provide additional information on your system:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    What you see you don't think you need to see?

    What do not you think that you should see?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

     alter database mount;
     catalog start  with 'C:\bakup';
     restore database;
    

    If you are using same directories for databases on VM1 and VM2, not catalog must start with command.
    Because RMAN Catalog backup VM1 information in the control of catalog file repository.

  • Copy of the file of the virtual machine to the data store

    Hello

    I downloaded 10 GB of ISO my VM 2003 SRV. Now I want to move these files to my data store, so I can mount them when necessary. So far, the only way I see is to move the files to my XP pre-installed and choose Download via the browser of data store. I use ESXI and manage via Vcenter. I have the essentials package.

    I don't know that there is a smarter way?

    TIA

    If you need copy (ISO, vmdk) files in your data warehouse, using the client data via vSphere store browser works. You could also SCP your connection to your ESXi Server files and selecting data warehouses with software like FastSCP or WinSCP.

  • Help! Could not open the file... 000008.VMDK

    Hi guys,.

    I am running the latest version of VMWare Fusion under (just improved) Mountain Lion and now I can't get my VM to start.

    I have attached the error as a jpg.

    I confirmed that the file is (grab attached directory list).

    Any help would be welcome. I had 0 problems with VMware up to this point.

    I tried backups time machine to the virtual machine but they all show this error - even on the backups that I know worked.

    Thanks much for any help.

    Chris

    According to the list of files, the file "...-000008 - s007.vmdk ' is not found. If you have a backup to restore this file. If you do not have a backup, you can try to create a new file by copying it for example "...-000009 - s007.vmdk. However, this can cause corruption of data in your virtual machine.

    As a side note, you should consider to delete snapshots in snapshot Manager if you no longer need.

  • Error Msg: cannot open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk.

    The hard drive on my iMac crashed while my virtual machine is running.  When I try to open the virtual machine 'suspended', I get the following error message: could not open the file "Windows XP Professional - 000004.vmdk"; The system cannot find the specified file.  This file is listed in the contents of the packaging of the XP machine, but it notes the date, the iMac has crashed, which is the last day of work of the virtual machine.  I have read through discussions and tried a few things from the knowledge base, but I can't go past the error msg for the virtual machine to run.  Any suggestions?

    After selecting OK, I then received the second attached message, "Current Message.png", which reads... "your virtual machine has not returned because of an error.  If you believe that the error is correctable and you want to keep the suspended state, so you can correct the mistake, after that the virtual machine is turned off, select Preserve.  To ignore the waking state, select reject. »

    I didn't do anything since getting this second message because I do not know which to choose.

    In this case I'd throw away them.

    If after following your excellent detailed instructions & explanation (thank you!), here is what happened...

    As the machine has begun to resume in a suspended state, that asked me if I moved or copied and I selected, copied.

    In cases like this (restore a Machine virtual sauvegardΘ) the correct answer to this question is "I moved it" even thought "I copied it" seams more logical, it is not the right answer but with the advent of the second error message, not caused by the answer to the first question, no answer would have mattered.

    (if I can just get my prospects for work with this virtual machine files, your help would be invaluable!)

    This Virtual Machine is always recoverable, however if you are only interested in the recovery of data from the user then after reading the following quit VMware Fusion and try to mount the virtual disk to the Virtual Machine using the information below.

    Take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > Search > type VMDKMounter, and then select use VMDKMounter to mount a virtual drive as a Mac Volume

    Notice, ignore the parts on "to add support for reading / writing to NTFS volumes, you need to install NTFS - 3G separately." as it is not necessary for recovering files within the VM using VMDKMounter, because you only need read access to retrieve data from the user.

    After obtaining your user data disassemble the virtual hard disk on the desktop and then after that you want to retrieve the VM using methods from another just let know us and additional directions can be given.

    Hello

    There has been a lot of problems using svn with dw, and I know many people who have stopped trying to operate correctly.

    As much as I know dw will not work with newer versions of svn (over 1.5), and even then, there are a lot of problems, a possible solution is to try subweaver (at- http://code.google.com/p/subweaver/ ), as this has solved some of the problems associated with the use of tsvn dw environment.
