• Satellite L500 - what is the third partition on the HARD drive?

  I see that I have three primary partitions already made on this new L500 ~.
  1.) 2GiB/dev/hda1 to Toshiba Recovery,.
  2.) 330 + giB (C :) for Vista and 3.) 12GiB/dev/hda3?.

  I need windows dualboot both valuation and partition for Linux and the storage installations.

  What is the third partition for and I can configure things so that I can save it in a logical Partition?

  My goal is:

  / dev/hda1 = Toshiba Recovery
  / dev/hda2 = Vista
  / dev/hda3 = Windows 7 ~ RC7
  / dev/hda4 = expanded to all others (including Linux, the existing 12GiB and common storage as well.)

  Any suggestions or thoughts before I dive?

  Best regards, SnapafunFrank

  Hello

  The third partition is Vista.
  Vista creates two partitions; a partition common to install the system and the second partition hidden for the backup files. These backup files are important for Vista. Vista needs him to repair the operating system if something will go wrong

  So it s is strongly recommended to leave this partition on the HARD disk

• The video file can be published to the specified location. Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk, and then republish the movie again.

  It happened once before, but it somehow went away after I restarted my laptop. I restarted my laptop, this time, but it has not worked.

  OK, so I just finished put a video together. It consists of a Hypercam 2 record (which means it's a .avi file), a PNG image, text and a song (which is a WMA file).

  I save the file, and then click Publish Movie. Everything goes well until the last step where the video is actually published. The window made a break for a while before you receive the following message;

  ~*~

  "Cannot complete the movie publish .

  The video file cannot be published to the specified location. "Check that the publishing location is still available, that there is enough free space on the disk and then republish the movie again."

  I know there are a lot of free space on the drive on my laptop (it's an Inspiron 1520), and that there is nothing wrong with any of my files. I tried to change places without result. It simply doesn't get it. It would be a great help to me if someone could tell me what is the problem :)

• Expand a virtual disk in VMware?

  I was wondering if it is possible to extend the system on one of my virtual machines partition? I know that I can add another hot player, but I desperately need to extend system partition... Thanks in advance

  If your virtual machine is Windows 2008 and you use ESX 3.5 U2 so you can develop the disk online. Change the settings on the virtual machine, and then in the prompt use diskpart to extend the system partition to use the extra space.

  If you use an earlier version of Windows or ESX, you can always extend the partition but the virtual machine must be turned off. Power off the virtual machine, rotate the VMDK is through changing the settings (ESX3.5) or vmkfstools-x console, then attach the drive system of the virtual machine to a different VM Windows or start the virtual from a WinPE computer. ISO and use diskpart to extend partition as described above.

  For more information about the use of MS diskpart just google, plenty of info out there.

• Help, please! Snapshot after expand VM, virtual disk parent has changed since the child was created

  OK, here's the situation, (maybe you can find a lot of discussion on this one)

  I have a vmware server running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. I use as its host vmware ESX 3.0.1.

  I realize that I need to extend the drive because he must have more space disk for the production server. Then I resize the disk using vmkfstools x 90 G TARANTELA - TEST.vmdk. The bad news is, I didn't know that the server has a snapshot on VI client. As you know, the error occurred:

  Failed to open the disc

  "/ vmfs/volumes/4652e777-3eb2a038-8fce-0019bb343796/TARANTELLA-TEST-000007.vmdk" or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  Reason: The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created

  Then I remove the snapshot of the VI client and re-save the virtual machine to inventory, but it may yet open the disc unless I edited the .vmx line file:

  scsi0:0. FileName = 'TARANTELA-TEST - 000007.vmdk '.

  TO

  scsi0:0. FileName = ' TARANTELA - TEST.vmdk.

  It runs as the first time I installed the system, but all the important configuration is in 'TARANTELA-TEST - 000007.vmdk' snapshot.

  Someone there the sollution, how can I do my work of snapshot again?

  Kind regards

  Arfal

  In SL32-AP-TARANTELA - TEST2.vmdk

  change

  CID=dc621992
  

  TO

  CID=ce700012
  

  and

  RW 188743680 VMFS "SL32-AP-TARANTELA-TEST2-flat.vmdk"
  

  TO

  RW 31457280 VMFS "SL32-AP-TARANTELA-TEST2-flat.vmdk"
  

  and

  ddb.geometry.cylinders = "11748"
  

  TO

  ddb.geometry.cylinders = "1958"
  

  in SL32-AP-TARANTELA-TEST2 - 000007.vmdk

  change

  RW 188743680 VMFSSPARSE "SL32-AP-TARANTELA-TEST2-000007-delta.vmdk"
  

  TO

  RW 31457280 VMFSSPARSE "SL32-AP-TARANTELA-TEST2-000007-delta.vmdk"
  

  And then you change the changes you have made to the VMX file.

  Try power o the VM - you will get probably mistakes (inside the virtual machine).

  If this works report back (we are not yet made).

• How do to activate 'VAPP Options' on an existing virtual machine, and then add the properties that will be passed down through the OVF - ENV. XML

  
  
  I'm trying to understand vSphere PowerCLI how to activate the "Options of VAPP" on an exsiting VM (in this case a model freshly cloned) then add properties and select cdrom of the FVO data access such as when the virtual machine is running the FVO - env.xml contains the properties in the CD-ROM drive.
  
  If I use the vSphere client and open the virtual machine settings and click on the tab 'Options' and then select "Options of VAPP" and change the setting to "Enabled" and then select 'VAPP-> Advanced Options' and click on the button 'Properties' on the right, I can add the properties and then I can change them vsphere PowerCLI, but given that these actions are not retained if I clone the virtual machine I need a way to put these in place of vSphere PowerCLI without using the vSphere client to do.
  
  Thanks in advance for the help!
  
  

  Mike

  You can use the vSphere API to activate the 'Options of VAPP"on an existing virtual machine, and set properties. For example:

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig = new-Object VMware.Vim.VmConfigSpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec [] (1)

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertySpec

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] .operation = 'Add '.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0] = new-Object VMware.Vim.VAppPropertyInfo .info

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.key = 0

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.classId = "Property1ClassID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.instanceId = "Property1InstanceID".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.id = "Property_1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.category = "Property1Category".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.label = "property 1.

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.type = "string".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.userConfigurable = $true

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.defaultValue = "Property1DefaultValue".

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.value = «»

  $spec.vAppConfig.property [0].info.description = "Property1Description".

  $vm = get-VM-name vm3

• Can I copy the programs on the recovery disk and then re-install?

  Hello

  I'm confused on the basics of "recovery disc". I have an A200, aged about two years. What I want to do, that is 'clean' the hard drive, which means remove all and reinstall windows. But I don't want to lose a few programs that I have on the laptop (that is, Photoshop and another called Corel Painter).

  Is it possible to save these on a recovery disc and then put them on once I cleaned the PC?

• Possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then disconnect the SAN?

  I decided to do an interview on a small environment ESX 3.5 and I was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.  If I record data suspends storage local would this work? Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save?  There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.

  A suspension is identical to a power off, it shows just the guest to Hibernate.  So yes, it is safe.

  Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save? There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

  No its not faster, its more fast and more reliable to power off the virtual machine rather than suspend.  If you need to follow the process and suspend its critical use, otherwise a scheduled interruption is better.

• Any way to record Audio narration first and then video then?

  I think it's a better workflow (and ends up being faster than both both audio and recording after). We found another program that will allow us to do (but that has fewer features than Captivate).

  Our work will not spring for the two so we're throwing on the workflow functions (unless someone knows how do - hopefully its really obvious and I were just being dumb).

  I know that in the past, people have used the notes in a PowerPoint slide - just seems weird, you can't do it for other types of video recording and demos.

  Any ideas?

  Scaffolding is a pedagogical concept in education. This is a pretty good explanation (even just the first paragraph): http://edglossary.org/scaffolding/

  Scaffolding of process (and providing limitation or restriction) can be a good way to ensure a higher quality end product. If you use a software like Adobe voice he had built scaffolding process and restrictions. First you choose a structure (who made suggestions on what should cover each slide), and then you save the audio (never longer than ten seconds at a time) and then you adjust your layout and then you choose icons or images or text you sort your music and then you go through and then you export (and adjust export credits and titles). This is a truncated version of the film process that will guide you to make a better product. It's (one of the reasons) for which voice projects come out much more pleasant and the profession you could do on other software. You could do the same thing with PowerPoint, but you would use copious workaround solutions to get your content and PowerPoint does not provide you with this scaffolding as well, even as the most talented producers still fighting produce something better than a typical project of the voice.

  I'm not fussed on the subject all beings in a single product. I use the product adobe for over 15 years now - I can switch between programs that respond to different tasks. The real reason, I can't use both, it's that my work won't pay for two software which have similar results. If Captivate could do screencast-o-matic can do (without the workaround solutions), it would be a simple choice to go with Captivate. It would be even to be in the Captivate program - it could be in a sister program available with package of Captivate. The same way After Effects and first compliment.

  Now, it seems Captivate has more functions, but an integrated of any process which means that we will probably just stick with Screencast-O-Matic.

  What I want to really, it is on Adobe to take the understanding of theories and teaching that they applied to the voice and slate and apply that Captivate (or a program that is packaged in a purchase of Captivate). I think it's weird that they have not yet...

• Expand a virtual disk with new physical disks?

  Hello people,

  Pleas in law not to shoot me to ask what I fear it may have already answered somewhere and my research is poor and as still not turned up the answer.

  I'm relatively new to VMware, previous job was especially MS Hyper-V and is always to some extent.

  Hower to the point in question, I have a single host (VMware ESXi 5.0.0) with a single server VMware 2008R2 on her guest and the C: drive is quickly running out of space. The existing, aligned hard disk virtual hard disk has 10 GB free to extend the ramdisk with.

  Therefore, my thoughts are I might add an another one or two new physical disks and add them to the data store that is aligned with the virtual C:\drive to the comment server, I would then be able to extend the exisitng C:\ virtual hard disk with the new ability to drive two new physical drives added?

  Hope this sense makses, hoing it's okay and I get out of jail!

  Thank you very much

  Graeme

  Hello

  Please see this link because it deals with the procedure to enlarge a vmdk and extend partition in comments

  First enlarge the data store after the addition of physical drives. Select the data store, properties, increase and the LUN detected.

  Then use the vmkfstools as explained in the video to develop

• Consolidation of many to one of the virtual disks?

  Hello world

  I use a XP client inside a Windows 7 host (using 8 workstations).

  In the configuration of my XP virtual machine I previously assigned (of 50 gigabytes) of disk space into separate virtual folders, about 2 GB each, as shown below.

  

  I now want to have a single vmdk file, with the pre-allocated 50 GB of capacity.

  Is it possible that I can achieve this goal, while keeping my VM in tact? For example can I create a second virtual disk, and then use a cloning tool (from the client) BONE to make a copy to the new virtual drive?

  Here, any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Hello world

  This can indeed be done! Because I started with a scalable, split, virtual disk, there were several steps; Here's the gist of these measures-

  (1) using the vmware-vdiskmanager merge files into a single.

  http://hostilecoding.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/VMware-merge-multiple-VMDKs-into-single.html

  Note: when running this utility do not forget to include the '2' parameter, which refers to the creation of a virtual disk prealloue, otherwise the following steps (use the shrinkvd program will NOT work!).

  Here is a screenshot of the order that worked for me-

  

  (2) add the newly created virtual disk, 'merged.vmdk' to the existing virtual machine, using these installation instructions.

  https://www.VMware.com/support/WS5/doc/ws_disk_add_virtual.html

  (3) remove the existing virtual machine virtual drive

  (4) to start the Virtual Machine (you will probably be asked if you have moved or copied the VM, I responded with "Proposed").

  (Optionally)-rename the virtual disk of "merged" into something else by renaming the files in the ".vmx" and "hard" files.

  (5) using the shrinkvd resize the virtual disk

  http://www.Softpedia.com/get/system/system-miscellaneous/shrinkvd.shtml

  

  Above, note that the first time, I ran the command it failed with the message "ddb.deletable" is the crux of the problem. I just deleted this line in the relevant file "hard" and the command is represented.

  Now, when I boot on my virtual XP I use only 24 GB of space, and I am able to transfer the Virtual Machine to a smaller drive. in this case a 30 Gig old SSD.

  I hope this helps others.

  Kind regards

  DAVO
