  • What is the use of snapshots of consolidation?

    I've read up, but I'm still not really what is the usefulness of this feature.

    Please can someone enlighten me?

    Also please correct if my train of thoughs is wrong:

    i. instant aren't really backups

    II. the Snapshots are supposed to be taken so that the virtual machine can be recovered at this point in time (for example, before the Windows Update)

    III. snapshots are "integrated" with dare the virtual machine (via VMware Tools), which means that we can make the Brownie when virtual machines are on the rise.

    -Windows 2008?

    -Microsoft SQL?

    IV. Snapshots would take place outside the VMs

    -The data store should be much larger then the VMS (for example if the virtual machine is 200 GB, datastore shd be 300 GB to VMDK + Snapshots)

    -Snapshot sizes would grow as time passes (eg. instant 100 days ago risked increasing from 10 GB to 20 GB according to the changes made to the virtual machine)

    v. recommendations (by VM)

    -Do not to keep snapshots to extend the periods of time

    -Do not keep too many clichés

    -"consolidate" snapshots

    So, what is the difference between "Consolidate" and "Delete All"?

    I think you may have the wrong idea of the snapshot...

    I would like to use Windows update + service pack installation for example.

    VM with MS svr 2003 running... you can install SP1, and then test, can install updates to Windows, and then test.

    -snapshot 1 (sn1): Win2003 Updates & SP

    -Install of Win2003 SP1 (with reboot etc.)

    -snapshot 2 (sn2): Win 2003 SP1

    -Install Windows updates current on Win2003 SP1

    -snapshot 3 (sn3): Win 2003 SP1 with updates

    -svr stable for 5 days (eg. installing Acrobat reader, Microsoft office)

    So u shd have 3 pictures... who all "grows" that you test your DVS.

    But your VM will be 4 types of main file (with respect to this context)

    1. basis of files of the virtual machine (vmdk, vmx, memory of the computer virtual, swp files etc.)

    2 VM snapshot file

    3 VM snapshot files swp (swap is maybe not correct name... but I do think that the proper name)

    In terms of logic...

    -'sn1' is the basis of the snapshot

    -"sn2" is "sn1" + "data1."

    -"sn3" is "sn1" + "data1" + data2.

    "- VM1 is sn1' + 'data1' + data2 ' + data unnamed swap

    The 5th day of test, the virtual machine will have files for

    ' '- sn1', "sn2", "sn3", 'data1', 'base VM,' data2 ' and unnamed swap data that are generated during the 5 days of tests.

    Then from the right 'consolidation' will convert the name in "data3" swap so that

    -'sn1' is the snapshot of base + 'data3 '.

    -"sn2' is 'sn1' + 'data1', 'data3 '.

    -"sn3" is 'sn1' + 'data1' data2' + 'data3 '.

    "- VM1 is sn1' + 'data1' + data2 ' + 'data3 '.

    In a way layman... Virtual machines with snapshot are VMs who have ΘtΘ divisΘs into multiple files.

    "" When you remove stereotypes (please do not try everything remove), what you do is merge sn1 "+"data1"+ data2 ' + data not named swap or 'data3' in a virtual machine.

    Sorry... I forgot to add... Please do not receive or keep snapshots VMware for long periods of time.

    The snapshots are not backup. They can line up while you have yourself photographed... soon...

  • What is the use of the file winsxS\Policies if we can rename or delete arbitrary?

    The solution proposed by Snave_Nivek for a NET problem was:

    Rename %windir%\winsxS\Policies (or remove) and then reinstall .NET.

    Which will not affect other programs? What is the use of the file winsxS\Policies if we can rename or delete arbitrary?

    Hello

    The point behind rename/remove the policies folder is to eliminate the possibility of corrupted files. Once deleted/renamed, the folder is recreated.

    However, note that renaming/deleting is not applicable to all records.

    For more information on the WINSXS directory, see this article:

    What is the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Windows Vista, and why is it so important?

  • What is the purpose of this file?

    Last week, I had a nasty virus and had to reinstall WIN XP.  I always save files to download for my programs and PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.exe had saved and reinstall PSE 8 without any problem.  I also found a PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.7z file of course I save it for some reason any downloading of PSE 8.  My question is: "what is the purpose of this file?  Am I supposed to install it? HOW?

    Thanks in advance

    Files whose extension is '7z' are of type 7-zip compressed files.  (Similar to zip files).  You no longer need this file because it contains the 'PhotoshopElements_8_Mul.exe' file (compressed, of course).

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Them or us ask the right sequence of key.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  • Cannot open the hard file. One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or a snapshot

    Hi all

    Tried my level best to solve, but still the same problem persists. . Lck tried but as soon close VMware workstation, it disappears. This problem starts when yesterday instead of powering down, suspended. The next resume when it gives captioned error. Tried creating new virtual machine using an existing vmdk file but my mainly all the data disappeared. Now I want to resume the suspended state. Kindly help on the same. Thank you

    OK, we will first focus on the first virtual disk (System) on the D: drive which has enogh of disk space to create a clone.

    The "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk" dated from 19/07/13 is probably exactly what we need, and if it has approximately the same size of file than current/changing, then you can replace the one changed with it. Once restored, proceed as follows (with VMware Workstation closed):

    from the command line run:

    cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation"
    cd /d D:\win2k3
    md Clone
    C:vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition-000002.vmdk" -t 0 "Clone\Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"
    

    Once the cloning done so, create a subfolder "Backup" and move all over existing files (as a backup). Copy the .vmx file and .vmxf the subdirectory "Backup" in the D:\win2k3 folder, then do the same with the file hard cloned since the 'Clone' subdirectory, so that you end up with the following files:

    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmx

    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmxf

    Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk

    Before you can try to start the virtual machine, you must edit the .vmx file and replace

    scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition - 000002.vmdk"

    with

    scsi0:0. FileName = "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.vmdk"

    Please do the above and report. If you have any questions please ask.

  • WMP will open the VTS_01_1.VOB and stop at the end of this file

    I don't know if this is the place to post this question, but it's here.

    I created a web page that lists the cover images all my DVDs that I have on an external hard drive and each cover image is related to the first file VTS_01_1.VOB for this DVD.

    I test page to see how it works for each device I have.  The page works perfectly with my tablet from Samsung, the player on the Tablet, I installed automatically go VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB and so on until the movie is done.

    If I use my pc Windows 7, WMP will open the VTS_01_1.VOB and stop at the end of this file, how can I get WMP to continue to the next file automatically?

    Personally, I would check the source code of the Web page of the first.

    Paste the full path to the video_ts.ifo file in a new MS Word document and save it as htm.  Then run the file [it should open in your default browser], then right-click on the page and select view source.  Find the link - it should look like

    href ="... / SomeFolder/VIDEO_TS. IFO "> D:\SomeFolder/VIDEO_TS." IFO

    assuming that D:\SomeFolder/video_ts.ifo is the text that is displayed for the link

    Then go to your actual Web page and discover its source to verify that the link contains this model.

    If the solution is not as simple as that, then you will need to post a question in the section Web & networks of this forum I don't know enough about writing for the Web page.

    To increase the chances of getting there help please include a description of what happens when you try to click on the link - rather than 'will not work.

  • What is the use of the codec pack?

    What is the use of the codec pack? What happens if I install a codec pack xp my operating system to windows 7

    Codec packs allow a player to media/OS read audio/video files in the case, he could not play.

    I'm not using this as a recommendation, but take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-Lite_Codec_Pack for the info and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec

    Rather than installing a codec pack, if WMP will not play a file, try a different media player (free) like VLC or GOM.

    If you download and install one of these players, don't let them take over your files that don't let them become the media player by default, until you are happy that they do what you want.

    Hi Ashish I put in it,

    Now, only I realized the problem is with the lifecycle ADF

    If I place a logging operation in the method of the request form, we will see that the method is called twice and that is why exceptions are thrown. Change the property of refreshment of the invokeAction of prepareModel to renderModelIfNeeded. The commit operation will work with this change and the invokeAction will be called once again because it will be necessary. Once again, the point of the example is to call the invokeAction but for the validation button, as is evident, the value of prepareModel was not enough. The value renderModuleIfNeeded ends the validation operation. .
