What is the difference between the model and its clone in VMware?

Clone

A clone is a copy of the virtual machine.

You can't convert back the cloned Virtual Machine.

A Clone of a Virtual Machine can be created when the Virtual Machine is running

Cloning can be done in two ways: Clone full and linked Clone.

A full clone is an independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent virtual machine after the cloning operation. Continuous operation of a full clone is entirely separate from the parent virtual machine.

A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the virtual machine of parent on a regular basis. This preserves disk space and allows multiple virtual machines to use the same software installation.

Cloning of a virtual machine can save time if you are deploying several similar virtual machines. You can create, configure, install the software on a single VM and then clone several times, rather than the creation and configuration of each virtual machine individually.

Model

A model is an original copy or a reference image of a virtual machine that can be used to create many clones.

Models can be turned on or edited and are harder to change than usual of virtual machine.

You can convert the model to the Virtual Machine update model base with the latest released patches and updates and to install or upgrade any software and still convert to template to use for the future deployment of Virtual Machines with the latest patches.

Convert virtual machine model cannot be performed, when the virtual machine is running.  Only the Clone to the model can be performed when the Virtual Machine is running.

A model offers a safer way to preserve a virtual machine configuration that you want to deploy several times.

When you clone a virtual machine or deploy a virtual machine from a template, the cloned virtual machine resulting is independent of the virtual machine or the original model.

  • What is the difference between a model and an external style sheet?

    I try to understand what is the difference between a model and an external style? I finished doing my model and I know that want to base each page on that. Isn't it the same as the external style sheet?

    Since I've already gone ahead and created a model with a ton of styles, I should remove the styles from the model and recreate them so that they exist in an external style sheet?

    I recommend that, Yes.  This way if you want to add/remove/edit one of your CSS, you only download this single file, not all the files in the site.

  • Difference between Standalone Converter and converter integrated with VMware vCenter Server?

    What is the difference between Standalone Converter and converter integrated with VMware vCenter Server, except that it comes integrated with Vcenter and another does not?

  • Do not understand the difference between my models and why they are distributed differently

    I converted a bunch of guest in model systems and I have now a few top group and listed on sub Discover Virtual machines but also have other models in alphabetical order among the guest computers.

    I need know how to find the differences between these models (there are) and why

    they are arranged in this way?

    I have attached a picture of my layout, note both models circled were created from the same guest machine and the content seems to be the same. My host is vSphere ESXi 4.

    Thank you

  • What is a difference between 'Logical processors' and 'logical processors for each host?

    Hi all!

    In the official document VMware "vsphere-51-configuration-maxima" or "vsphere-55-configuration - maximums.pdf" in the section "ESXi host maximum rates------Maximums calculation" exists in the elements:

    "Maximum CPU------logical CPU for each host ' (vSphere 5.1: 160;)   vSphere 5.5: 320)

    and

    "Machine virtual maximums------virtual CPU by host ' (vSphere 5.1: 2048;)    vSphere 5.5: 4096)

    Question: what is the difference between the two?

    And a more complex thing to maximum rates:

    Virtual machines per host: 512

    Number of hosts per cluster: 32

    Therefore, the cluster may be Virtual Machines (maximum): 521 * 32 = 16384

    But in the document, we have only 4000 VMs in maximum.

    Why?

    Thank you

    Ramirez,

    I understand your question as difference between 1. logic virtual CPU vs / by the hosts and 2. cluster/host Max County VM.

    Consider the case below;

    2 servers ESXi - 20 mV

    ESXi taken 1-4, 2 cores / socket

    ESXi 2-8 Sockets, 2 cores / socket

    Now here number of CPU logic-(4 x 2) + (8 x 2) = 24

    20 virtual machines - 2 jacks, 2 core / socket

    Virtual CPU count - 20 x (2 * 2) = 80

    Hope your first confusion is clear now.

    And a more complex thing to maximum rates:

    Virtual machines per host: 512

    Number of hosts per cluster: 32

    Therefore, the cluster may be Virtual Machines (maximum): 521 * 32 = 16384

    But in the document, we have only 4000 VMs in maximum.

    Why?

    This means that even if you have 32 Guest and each host can accommodate 512 VMs each the maximum number of virtual machines per cluster may not exceed 4000. And it does not mean that you can have a maximum of VMS (512 * 32).

    Hi snicker_1,

    There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

    In my opinion, you should check these notebooks from Toshiba Web site. There you can see what models are currently available and the configuration.

    Widget-based applications

    not always asked of widgets

    Widget is just an application interface to develop android home and have some readily available settings/info/etc.; If you do not need to type an application to access some of the data; but you can type the widget to run the application if necessary and if possible.

    It's like a windows program, you must run it to use it... If they is not a widget.

  • What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

    Hello

    I have a plan to monitor the 6.1.0.17 WebSphere Application Server (32 bit) and 7.0.0.5 (64-bit)

    But I understand not all Foglight for JavaEE and Foglight for JMX.

    Foglight for JavaEE or Foglight for JMX is able to monitor WebSphere?

    What is the difference between Foglight JavaEE and Foglight JMX monitoring?

    Thanks in advance

    Jeans

    Just to add to the excellent answers already posted.

    We have 2 agents which allows you to monitor Java:

    1. a JavaEE agent that runs inside the JAVA virtual machine and the information of both JMX and instrumentation.

    This Agent will give you JMX information like information of JVM (use of the bunch, son etc.), of the Application and server availability information and other information of JMX/PMI (connections pools, pools of ejb, servlets, jsp, JCA and more).

    Java EE & # 039agent also gives you information of the instrumentation - RFA count and response time, exceptional output and timeout information, distribution of queries (App/DB, component technology, server, application failure), object tracking, transaction flow and stransactional between servers and data sources) and ask traces (the ability to see the trees of the RFA at the method level to know where things are slow/stuck).

    2 JMX agent is running outside the JVM but can run on the same computer or on a remote computer, this agent requires access active, JMX. This agent gives you information JVM, availability server/applications, as well as some data as the application server published using JMX (pools of connections, JCA, EJB, servlets, etc.). The JMX agent also gives you the ability to see a list of the mbeans, get the data they expose (javaEE agent gets only a predefined list (same list that is used as a template for the application servers in the JMX agent)).

  • What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Original title: is anyone know about MHT files?

    What is the difference between. MHT and. HTM?

    Hi Sheryl,

    Welcome to the Windows 7 community!

    I understand that you would like to know the difference between file MHT and HTM file. I'm happy to help you.

    MHTML, short for MIME HTML, is a format to archive web page used to combine resources that are usually represented by external links (such as images, Flash animations, audio files, Java applets) as well as the HTML code in a single file. The content of an MHTML file is encoded as if it were an email message to HTML, using the MIME type multipart/related. The first part of the file is normally encoded HTML; subsequent parts are additional resources identified by their URL original and encoded in base64. This format is sometimes referred to as MHT, after the suffix .mht given to these files by default when created by Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer or Opera. MHTML is a proposed standard, distributed in an edition revised in 1999 as RFC 2557.

    HTML Web page that is used by Web browsers; contains the code markup that is stored in a plain text format; used to display and format the text and images in a Web browser.

    HTM files serve the same exact than purpose. HTML files. The extension ".htm" appeared with the use of the Web Microsoft, such as FrontPage, SharePoint Designer and Expression Web development software.

    HTM files are much less common than HTML files.

    It will be useful. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.
