What is 00000x.vmdk files, I can remove it?

Hi all

I have a virtual machine running on ESXi 4.1 which has sub folders alongside the vmdk & vswp file.  two snapshots have been executed successfully. can I delete files to free up disk space so much xxx - 000001.vmdk & 000002.vmdk?

XXX - 000001.vmdk

XXX - 000002.vmdk

XXX - snapshot4.vmsn

XXX - snapshot5.vmsn

I want to transfer this amother ESXi 4.1 virtual machine host, I'm wrong

(1) turn off the virtual machine

(2) copy the VM folder to the new data store ESXi 4.1, delete all the files in the folder of the virtual machine except vms file & vmdk

(3) right-click on the vmdk, add to the inventory

Thank you and best regards,

Kelvin

As has been validated only manually remove these files, they are snapshot files. You would remove the snapshots in Snapshot Manager. If for any reason any you see not instant listed, you can try adding a new capture instant, and then click Delete all snapshots.

  • Maximum size of the VMDK file we can assign during the P2V?

    Hello.

    We conduct P2V for a server physical and would like to address one of the disk for P2V.

    Rather than extend the VMDK disk in the future, we would like to extend during P2V.  Given that VMDK file maximum size is 2 TB for ESXi host, we can assign 2 TB for this VMDK file OR there is a recommended maximum size to use?

    Thank you

    I have myself yet, but I guess you should be able to assign the maximum size of virtual disk, depending on the block size of the data store (for ESXi versions before the 5.x/VMFS-5). That said, I suggest that you don't assign it more than 2 032 GB in order to create snapshots for this virtual disk (see "calculates the time system required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

  • What is a DMG file? can they be deleted from my mac pro?

    I have the following two files, which take up to 124 GB of memory:

    Macintosh HD Back Up.dmg

    My_Passport_Apps_1_0_3_16.dmg

    I backed up my hard drive to an external so I was wondering if they are needed?

    Thank you!

    DMG files are Disk Images - virtual disks within a file. When you double-click a computer Image disk virtual disk is mounted.

    When your backups are completely up-to-date, that the backup of files (first you mentioned) will remove themselves automatically. When your backups not completed are piling up, it will be these files. However, these files are considered to be SUSTAINABLE, and if you need disk space for anything else, they are automatically deleted to free up space.

    The second file is likely (based on its name) to be copy of utilities supplied by the manufacturer of the My Passport drive. Look at the issue and keep those you want and you are free to delete the rest. Most users find that useless for the utilities don't come with records like that, then you are probably not missing something.

  • Snapshot deletion failed, remove the instant vmdk files?

    We have a 2 TB data store that became close to completely full. I tried to delete a snapshot that got to 95% the data store completely filled and then pretty much killed the server.

    There are 2 drives on a data store. The disk system (Server.vmdk) is 50 GB and the second disc (Server_1.vmdk) is 1.95 GB

    I managed to get the operational return server to convert the system disk to a new virtual machine (Server_New.vmdk) on another data store, removal of the original vmdk in the data store complete and then adding a second drive that points to Server_1.vmdk

    As far as I can tell everything is everything works fine and it's not like there are any missing files so I am happy with that. One thing I couldn't confirm if I can delete the snapshot files. I'm pretty confident that I can remove them without causing problems, but I'd love to get confirmation from someone who knows what they are doing.

    I've looked through the vmware.log file and don't see any mention of server_1 - 000001.vmdk or 000002.vmdk - server_1. Also in browser data store, the modification date and time is 20 minutes before server_new.vmdk and server_1.vmdk and these times coincide fairly well with when I converted to the virtual machine.

    If anyone can confirm that these files from snapshots can be deleted safely, it would be greatly appreciated.

    If the snapshot is attached to a VM voltage you will not be able to delete in file locking in the data store Navigator. If ca you remove it, then it is not attached and I guess it's safe. Another way is I rename and then see if there is any impact, otherwise it is then safe to remove

  • My NTUSER.dat file is 7 860 Ko and I don't have enough space in my C drive, I can remove it?

    I have windows XP.  My hard drive is partitioned into C & D drives.  Most of my programs is on drive C and have therefore, swallowed up all the space.  I moved more data on the D drive as possible.  I was wondering what I can remove the ntuser.dat file to free up space?

    No, you do not want to delete the file.

    Hi Jack,

    This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

  • What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

    Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

    Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

    When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

    Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

    Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

    I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

    The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

    I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

    I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

    No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

    Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

    I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.

  • I have that one saved backup system, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

    I run the Windows Image backup to a hard drive external on a weekly schedule. The result shows on the hard drive as "WindowsImageBackup\(User name)-PC\Backup (date) (number)"-currently about 80 GB (binary).

    I reserve about 135 GB of available space for backups of the system, so I save only the last backup of the system.

    So far, I have no problem with that.

    However, the disk hard, there is another folder '(USER NAME)-PC' & under which is a folder "backup of files (date) (number)" for each time that the backup system runs.

    These files vary considerably in size - for example, 1 GB, 12 GB, 22 GB. They delete or replace automatically - just, they accumulate.

    What I want to know is ~.

    What is the purpose\importance of these additional files?

    Since I only have a single saved backup, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

    Original title: Windows Image backup

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    File '(Computer name)-PC "contains the files necessary for the Windows. Data files saved in libraries, on the desktop, and if the Windows folders for all people with a user account on the computer are also recorded.

    [The default Windows folders include AppData, Contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, links, saved parties and searches.]

    The size of these files increases, because the content of the folders mentioned above increases.
