What to expect for the size of the snapshot?

General question here regarding size captures instant vmware (or indeed any what clichés really).

In an effort to ask the question here is a very basic example:

If I had a 10 GB VM and I take a snapshot; the first snapshot will be close to zero.  So now let's say I leave this for a week and during that week snapshot, the virtual machine sees 2 GB of file system changes.

The snapshot will be then 2 GB in size?

If I drop the snapshot of another week and the VM sees 1 GB another change of files (deletes, adds, changes) the snapshot will be then 3GB in size?

Thank you

Yes, it's operation of snapshots in VMware products. The virtual disk parent is treated as read-only and go to all the changes to the snapshot drive (delta file). Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015180 which explains this in detail.

  • Satellite L500 - what to expect from the battery?

    I just brought a laptop Satellite L500/20. Can someone tell me what to expect of the battery?

    I turn on the laptop and the battery will be charged 100%. Basically, as soon as the laptop is turned on, it seems to drain the battery at a rate of 1% every 1 minute. Is this normal? At this rate, my battery died a few hours 1 and a half. I don't watch videos, listen to music or download large files.

    I use it mostly just for e-mails, must the battery completely drain it quickly?

    Hello

    I think it all depends on the battery type (e. g. 9 cells) and what you do with the laptop. For example I have Satellite L300 with Windows XP and I can work 2 hours maximum battery and this means that only surf the Internet without watch videos and the lower display brightness.

    According to the battery but I think that 1 hour and 30 minutes are ok on Vista or Windows 7 If you have a superior brightness of the screen.

    By the way: on the Toshiba site I found some interesting tips of the battery:

  • What to expect with the actions 'pair of log '.

    I've never quite understood what I would expect to find in the OCAP for action file "newspaper pair packets. Consider the following example:

    Hamid: 6256-0 (HTTP authentication failed)

    Engine: Atomic IP

    Mask TCP: Ack, Rst, Syn

    TCP flags: Ack

    Source Port range: 80-80

    Regex: [Hh] [Tt] [Tt] [Pp] [/] [1] [.] [01] [\t] [4] [0] [1]

    Number of events: 25<-not>

    Number of key events: attacking and addresses the victim

    Alert interval: 2<-not>

    What I would expect / hope to see is at least all 25 "atomic" packets that triggered the alarm. This doesn't seem to be the case however.

    A search string using the OCAP (ethereal) of "401" file is only 5 hits... and all but one are separated by more than 5 seconds.

    The first package in the pcap file match the signature (i.e. a 401). Is the first packet in the file OCAP the last packet that triggered the alarm?

    In short, Yes. Keep in the recording of mind is only started after the alert has triggered, which in your case would be ONCE we see the 25 package within a period of 2 seconds. Actually we will capture this one 25 because it is the TriggerPacket as you said, most everything that happens after TriggerPacket, but we don't capture/log all packets of 25, simply because for the package from 1 to 24 the alert did not.

  • When you use a left and right axis, how to choose what issed axis for the value of y GetGraphCursor?

    I use a graph with a left and right axis (2 data sets).  I try to use a slider to select a point in time (x) and the values of y in the two sets of data.  I can't understand how the control, the value that is returned for the value is when you use the GetGraphCursor call.

    GetGraphCursor (panelHandle, PANEL_GRAPH, yourCursorNumber, & x & y)

    Using SetCursorAttribute with the attribute ATTR_CURSOR_YAXIS must be what you are looking for. The online help for this attribute explains wery well:

    Description: Used to change the y-axis which is associated with the bar graph.
    When a graphics cursor is created, the Y axis with which it is associated is determined by the value of ATTR_ACTIVE_YAXIS.  Subsequently, the association can be changed using ATTR_CURSOR_YAXIS.
    The y-axis associate serves as reference for the coordinates of the cursor position in calls to SetGraphCursor and GetGraphCursor.

  • What to use for the PNG - 24 format because we have no Microsoft Digital Image!

    Adobe has its own version of the open source transparency PNG called PSD. Haughty! For sure, this is why Adobe is so special. But what most of us who use and share the PNG Alpha standard? Microsoft has been more favourable standards when it marketed Microsoft Digital Image® with remarkable support for the standard PNG-24 or PNG Alpha format. But now Microsoft has left our market go to * in a handbag, dropping support for Microsoft Digital Image.

    Refusing even to advertise a new program to manipulate and develop better, more professional in our world image format!

    Really too bad. Really terribly sad. We remember all that weird menu 20-40 clicks in blind abominations of Adobe, took just a few clicks, accompanied by beautiful visuals colored across Microsoft Digital Image Pro.

    We are crying and sobbing and screaming in anguish, Microsoft! Please come home! Where are you, genius?

    Hi Mark,

    A couple of options...

    I suggest you do a Bing search engine for third-party software program to fit your needs. (remember to watch where/what you download from third party sites)

    Can also may want to check with the forums dedicated to this type of software, and not here in answers.

    Windows expert community

    My last suggestion is to speak with the real Microsoft Tech support to ask these questions. Remember that the only employees of MS here are those with a Big Blue Microsoft tag under their name. The majority of the members of the community here is not used from Ms.

    Support options for MS

  • Looking for what software required for the Installation of Enterprise Manager

    Hi all

    I'm quite new to work with Enterprise Manager, previously used 11g Database Control, but never install Enterprise Manager (OEM). Now, due to the increase of the databases, I am planning to install OEM (Oracle Enterprise Manager) to list all the database (more than 20 Linux servers) in one place.

    I have read the documentation and still confused on what needs to be installed for the OEM. I intend to use OEM 12 c Release (12.1.0.4), my current databases are 11 GR 2 (11.2.0.4).

    Could you tell what I need to at the bottom of the list?

    1. OEM (12.1.0.4)
    2. Web logic Server (do I need that separately, or it will be installed with OEM)?
    3. OEM agent on all other 20 servers (I have to install a software on them? Please guide)
    4. A specific version of Java.

    Please guide me if I need any other software or plugin.

    I have already installed the oracle software and created a database by using the "Custom" option in DBCA. My server operating system is Linux 64 Bit for Enterprise Manager.

    Thanks in advance.

  • What is planned for the presenter?

    Hi all

    Now that Adobe seem to be stopping the development of FLASH and focusing on HTML5, what happens then?

    According to me, there's a FLASH to HTML5 converter, but it is not ideal and is not completely compatible. Captivate/presenter/FLASH will now become obsolete or are their plans to publish directly to the content of HTML5 using Captivate and presenter?

    Is there any point continue to create content in these packets when FLASH looks like its his last breath?

    I understand that I cannot understand the situation completely and I'm looking for guarantees!

    Kind regards

    David.

    Adobe has NOT stopped the development of Flash. What is fallen, it is with Flash for mobile devices, instead, with the emphasis on the AIR applications for mobile devices and delivery of HTML5 for mobile devices.

    Captivate and presenter will become obsolete. But, there are some great resources on the conversion of the Captivate 5.5 to HTML5 for the best mobile service projects. http://blogs.Adobe.com/Captivate/2011/09/HTML5-converter-for-Adobe-Captivate-5-5-is-here.h tml

    Chances are that future versions of these two products will have more options for the publication in a mobile friendly way, but we do not know with certainty when it arrives.

    Read the actual press release, it is getting more involved in HTML5, but continues to grow Flash to navigate on the PC. http://blogs.Adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/Flash-focus.html

    This is probably the most succinct quote from the post:

    «Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will focus on allowing developers Flash package native applications with Adobe AIR for all the stores main app.»  Is no longer, we will continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with the new configurations of mobile device (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the next version of Flash Player for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook 11.1.  We will of course continue to provide fixed critical bugs and updates security for existing device configurations.  Allow us also our source code licensees continue to work on and release their own implementations. »

  • What an example for the graphics?

    I am trying to create a plug-in that samples the frame under composition and displays information on this subject in another window in a graphical form.

    (Something in the sense of the Test Gear of the synthesis of opening, but much more simple.)

    Is this possible in a plug-in? Or what I need to do another way?

    From what I can work on the SDK Guide software, plug-ins are normally used to change the composition and not to view the output in another window.

    Any ideas?

    Hello antony.

    Yes, it can be done.

    There are two types of plugins in AE.

    There are 'effects', which are applied to layers and are used to treat the image or sound.

    and there is "AEGPs" which are plug-ins generals who can create new operational capabilities to the EA, such as adding commands to menu, or new palettes.

    You must base your plug-in on the sample of 'panelator '. (a CEAP)

    It creates a dockable panel (a bit like the palette of information), in which you can draw what you want.

    who will solve the display part.

    now, you need get the image to be processed.

    There are several ways for a CEAP to do.

    1 take a look at the example of "EMP".

    It is a model of external monitor preview plug-ins.

    the MyBlit() function is where AE offers the image of the currently displayed buffer model for the plug-in.

    (notice that it is registered in the entryPoint() function)

    2. you could say AE to render an element of project (including the comps) and give you the resulting image.

    If you ask a framework that already has the AE rendering, if all goes well it will be give you a cached copy and not a new rendering of the thing.

    Here is a list of features that might be useful:

    AEGP_GetMostRecentlyUsedComp

    AEGP_RenderAndCheckoutFrame

    AEGP_GetReceiptWorld

    so depending on what you're trying to do, any combination of these two techniques should suite your needs.

  • What PC configuration for the treatment of the image of large files?

    I intend to get a new PC to work on large image (1-3 GB) PS CS4 files (I work with camera 8 x 10 inch back and then analyze the negatives). I was thinking about Core i7 with Quadro FX1800 PNY and 6 GB of RAM. What is a good choice or rather exaggerated? Of course, I was also thinking about a ProMac, but found no real advantages over a PC. Any helpful suggestions would be highly appreciated. Eckart

    the thing with Home Premium, Business and Ultimate, is that it can access 'only' 16 GB of ram (compared to 128 GB for the other 2). Here's another comparison: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/compare-editions/default.aspx

  • What is normal for the backup of XP SP3 and the startup type of the removable storage service?

    I was getting ready to plan and attempt a clean full backup for tonight.  I have the backups created on several entities, currently backup but have a very stable system at the moment and wanted to try to make a clean backup file.  That day has finally arrived after been forced a corrupted system files hard drive failure "repair" critical and forced me to go back to SP1a (my Windows Genuine valid CD which I highly appreciate) in order to obtain any boot system, including safe mode and console mode.  Repair has presented many incompatibilities at the level of program and system, including the basic WMI and COM of the corruption system.  Three months later... it of time to update my backups and recovery procedures and hope that this does not happen!

    In preparation, I decided to refresh my memory on the use of the backup and by browsing the Help and Support Service Center files.  One of the first things I noticed was "storage removable service must be started for the backup works correctly."  Audit and inspection of my existing Services using computer (Local) management, I have observed that after a normal windows startup, the removable storage service is not started with manual startup type.  I use a USB drive connected as my backup media, and it is fully operational as a normally formatted NTFS data disk volume.  I have windows indexing disabled on this volume.  Is the type of service required removable storage of normal manual started?  The backup program will automatically start this service?  I know I've never manually started it myself and backups seem to work well.  Should we change the startup type to automatic?

    -Thanks, Jerry

    I would like to leave as a textbook.

    The Service will start (if capable) as soon as ntbackup.exe begins.

    If you want to see, with your Services window related to the function of RS place and it will not work and the manual.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Ntbackup.exe

    Click OK to start the backup and the Restore Wizard.

    Go back to your Services window and press F5 to refresh and SR Service should now work.

    When you exit the backup and the Restore Wizard, the RS Service stops (it may take a few minutes), and you may need to close the Services applet and reopen it to notice she's moved to manual and not running.

    You will see things like present to the event system log viewer:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    The removable storage service entered the running state.

    (this is when you go out the backup and the Restore Wizard and wait a few minutes... then the Service stops itself...)

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Service Control Manager
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 7036
    Description:
    The removable storage service entered the stopped state.

    It's like aid and assistance...  Most of the people (including the technical support engineers who are hired by Microsoft) say to set the Startup Type to automatic, but you don't have to...  Set it to manual and it will start fine when he needs start (if he can).

    There is no need for these Services (and many other Services in XP) as starting at each restart and run all day without doing anything.

    Here is a good list that will help you understand your XP Services:
