  Thank you!

  In the script of SnapReminder of Alan, there is a function of my friends that retrieves the creator of a snapshot of events.

• Machines virtual FT can be backed up using backup as (VCB, vmware data recovery) technology, which uses the snapshot feature.

  Friends,

  Machines virtual FT cannot be saved using VCB, VDR, because he can't stand not instant. So how can we backup VMs FT?

  Hello

  Please read this article: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1016619

  It is contains guides for VMS backup FT.

• Space for snapshots

  Imagine a small ESXi host with a small physical disk.

  I create a virtual computer with the virtual end drive is 200 GB (very used).

  I create a snapshot which grows up to 50 GB (used reall).

  At this point, I remove the snapshot, and I hope that the physical growing up to 250 GB drive.

  How much free space (temporary) is required to consolidate the snapshot if the size of the virtual disk, resulting is supposed to be 250 GB?

  Should I consider 250 GB of free space for a temporary file or can I book a more limited amount of free space?

  Is it the same if the disk is too thick?

  Concerning

  Marius

  How much free space (temporary) is required to consolidate the snapshot if the size of the virtual disk, resulting is supposed to be 250 GB?

  The required disk space depends on if the virtual machine is turned on or off. Because snapshot data is merged into the basic disk, the free disk space additional maximum you need is equal to the size of the snapshot file. If the virtual machine is turned on, a snapshot of temporary assistance is created that consumes extra disk space, depending on the activity of VMs.

  At this point, I remove the snapshot, and I hope that the physical growing up to 250 GB drive.

  Not necessarily. It depends on the data in the snapshot. The file size of the basic disk that results can be something between 200 and 250 GB.

  Is it the same if the disk is too thick?

  Because a thick disk already consumes disk space full it will not grow more. However, in the case of an engine on the virtual machine, you must always little disk space for snapshot support.

• Delete all snapshots failed: vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall

  Hello

  I hope you can help me please

  I used veeam backup & replication backup a virtual machine to exchange server 2010

  I didn't know why and how, but since last week, I got error when try to delete snapshot: another task is already underway

  I try a lot of advice/KB but the success of whithout (managemennt services restart, remove the snapshot in vsphere client)

  When a start an ssh connection to the esxi and I launch 'vim - cmd vmsvc/snapshot.remveall' I got this error: "delete all asnapshots has failed.

  can you help me please?

  snapshots continue to grow since last week!

  Thank you

  which means the snapshot of the ware file used by your worker VPXA and it's get connected through your VADP.

• How to take snapshots on a global scale

  We use virtual disks supplied thickness in VMware but use thin volumes put into service on our SAN (known as thin thickness).

  We back up our virtual machines using Backup Exec, which creates a snapshot for VMware backup of the snapshot and then removes it.

  When if failed backups can leave the snapshot behind which uses more disk space on the SAN until we notice and delete it.

  Thin provisioned SAN volumes cannot grow, not shrink, then the extra space that has been used so that grew the snapshot is now wasted in the SAN.

  It is therefore an easy way to monitor snapshots without entering the Snapshot Manager for each virtual machine, just a place that would be would be list of all pictures in our cluster.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  You can create an alarm in the VC, there is a default a VM Snapshot size available (GB) who customize to the size warnings and the alert message.

  Or use powercli to run a script every day to send a list or instant operation, there are a few scripts autour already that you can use (Chris Uys made one).

• Problems capturing pictures about OS6 - East System.getProperty ("video.snapshot.encodings"); valid?

  Hello

  I hope someone can help with this query.

  I use the code that is very similar to the sample application camerademo to take a photo using the camera. It works properly on devices running OS5. However, on devices running OS6 photo is just an image of white/black.

  I think I followed the problem until the encoding string passed to getSnapshot(). When I switch which must be a valid encoding string (based on the output of System.getProperty ("video.snapshot.encodings")) the captured image is a black screen. However, when I pass null to getSnapshot() it works correctly. I want to avoid using null as the captured image is much more that I need and for reasons of effectiveness, I would like to avoid having to reduce its size after the capture of the photo.

  I tested this on the 9780 Simulator. The corresponding code is included below for reference.

  Thanks in advance!

• Deleted snapshots and VM used power over

  Hello

  I am dealing with a virtual server, which is no longer in production, but has a few important files that a user needs. Since this server was no longer required, it is stop and a few pictures removed to give room for other servers in comments. Unfortunately the last good backup of this server has been lost and can not power on this server as error readings

  Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/4d81fa10-7b05d3b6-6163-842b2b7839b3/xxxxx/xxxxxx000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

  VMware ESX can not find the virtual disk 'xxxxx.vmdk '. Check that the path is valid and try again.

  When I check the data store for the vmdk listed in the properties of the vm under hard drive, each of them exists, with the exception detailed in error, which is a snapshot

  I came across this VMware & amp; #8220; Cannot open the disk & amp; #8216; XXXXXX.vmdk & amp; #8217; or one of the snapshot disks depends on. & amp...

  cannot know what exactly to do to get the server online.

  Also I see options to mount the vmdk on a desktop and extract the files. : virtual drive to mount VMware (VMDK file) in the physical machine:

  How does the work above, still need to mount snapshots? all I need is a bunch restored from files do not need the server. Please guide im a beginner for vmware.

  The easiest way to access the files and could be to use disk utility mount VMware virtual disk Development Kit. This allows you to mount the virtual drive - 1pc_aims_4 - 000001.vmdk in this case - to your local operating system and extract the files you need. You can even mount the virtual disk in read-only mode to ensure integrity.

• removal of large snapshots

  Good afternoon, all!

  I am cleaning the undergrowth in our installation of VMware and met several virtual machines which were broadcast snapshots - apparently for almost a year.  The typical situation is where the virtual machine is thin-provisioned, the total space used is 35-40 GB, the snapshot is 15-18 GB and there is not a lot of room for error.

  Question is: if I delete the snapshots (accept the changes and bringing into the base image) what kind of disk space changes can I expect?  The aim of the game is to migrate some or all of these machines in the new storage space - but none can do with shots running.  As stated, I don't have a lot of spare space to cushion should the VM suddenly balloon to 110 GB or more.

  I appreciate all the help that I persevere cleaning and beating against weeds.

  Thanks in advance!

  > It seems that the snapshot is the disk the file for this virtual machine... guest_activated - 000001.vmdk

  No - wait a minute.

  If you do not see the basedisk, this does not mean that there is no more--the more likely case is that the base vmdk is in a different location.

  Open the guest_activated - 000001.vmdk - not guest_activated-000001 - delta.vmdk in a texteditor - then you will probably see a line like this

  parentFileNameHint = ' / vmfs/volumes/data/one store long string/guest_activated.vmdk.

  You cannot view correctly vmdk files in Datastorebrowser - so use WinSCP or something like that to know

• Removal of hidden snapshots

  Everyone knows about the following problem with snapshots and if so do you have a recommendation for a solution?

  We have a virtual machine with snapshots that are not displayed in the Snapshot Manager. He is running on a host 4.1 with vmdk files stored on a local disk with size of 1 MB. We need to migrate the computer virtual local storage to a San, but we can't because of the 'hidden' snapshots and try to create a new snapshot fails due to the size limitation of vmdk with size of 1 MB blocks. Error: ' creating a snapshot for a virtual machine fails with the error: file is larger than the maximum file size supported.

  We run Essentials Plus with 3 hosts on 4.1. A host is basically test and dev, so we can do what we want with him. Possible workaround only I have seen so far is cold clone the virtual machine to a new data store or try to migrate it to a host on 3.5 or an earlier version. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

  You can use VMware Converter (which will consolidate snapshots) to move the comments, or cold migration (which will be kept)

• Create a custom attribute to model the growth rate of the data store used space

  I would like to see data warehouses are growing fastest of the environment in terms of GB per day or something similar.  Is it possible to use a custom attribute to apply a formula that measures the rate of growth of a store of data over time, which allows me to see what data stores fastest?

  You would look for an average simple mobile for a SM you describe. vC Ops does not simple moving average formulas for SMs at this time.

  Looks like you are looking for a "growth rate", but you really won't get it with the built-in attributes. You might look differently and look at the remaining capacity and the remaining time metric. Also, you could create additional widgets to view graphs of util % over the last 30-90 days to give a better picture of usage in GB, #VMs, etc.

  I also suggest to make a Top - N showing use the lowest of the remaining time metric and the remaining ability... This will give you your data warehouses that are more at risk.

• El Capitan: runaway tmp file in/private/tmp

  Hello

  I have an iMAC (5K, 27 inches, end of 2015), 16 GB RAM, Core i5 (El Cap 10.11.6 running) and have had a problem with my boot drive fill even if I 308 GB of free space. After investigation, I found a temp file located in HD/private/tmp which appears immediately after the opening of session and which grows spontaneously - sometimes as much as 3 GB in a minute. Usually, the 308GB of free space, I started with that gets swallowed up in time. I also have another user with the same computer, but in executing Yosemite (10.10.5), who have the same symptoms.

  I use Outlook for MAC 2016 and the other user's MAC Mail for his e-mail client. I looked at this first just in case where the email could be the cause, because together we have E-mail ridiculously large stores, but I don't know yet why this just tmp file runs away as he does.

  Also, after reboot I get my space free return but also the tmp file and that it just starts to grow again. As a test, I started my computer but did not open ANY OTHER apps at all but one window Finder/private/tmp and then I sat down and watched - less than 10 minutes as tmp folder blown out to more than 20 GB and I never even touched the computer.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  By chance do you have any antivirus, cleaning or ANY third party maintenance installed applications?

• The Atrix dock car

  Hi all

  I've been running my Atrix with webtop without no problem, however, I bought a car dock yesterday and have not been able to have the car dock to launch the app at all.

  At first I thought it was because the USB slot on my helmet pushed only 500mA as opposed to 1000mA and thus, perhaps, the phone was not recognizing the dock. So, I went to radio shack and bought a fast charger which grow a 1000mA to see if that would make a difference. No dice. I tried to turn my phone on and off as well as activating / disabling the various switches to power satellite, wireless and bluetooth, and that does not work either.

  I had a problem with the speaker of the phone then I exchanged it for another new Atrix address this problem of rattling. I had hope that maybe a new phone would also good launch of the car dock app. That no longer works. Needless to say, I still love the phone, but I'm tired of trying to have the car dock function correctly.

  I can do to get the car dock app runs automatically without having to download a third party home app?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• How long to transfer files to speed 2 bolt of lightning?

  I just bought a MacBook Pro and you want to migrate from 350 GB of data from a laptop earlier...

  By using the connection of 2 crush between two laptops, how long should it take to migrate data?

  This wil explain all this:

  Thunderbolt offers two channels on the same connector with 10 GB/s of flow in both directions. 2 ultra-fast, Super Thunderbolt which grows to 20 GB/s. You can move data to and from devices up to 40 times faster than with USB 2 and up to 25 times faster than with FireWire 800.

• Repair of audio flaws in FCPX

  I'm moving from FCP-7 to FCPX, and I admit it can be quite frustrating at times. X has many improvements on the 7 that I like a lot (the markers that move with clips, yay!), but there are still things I like better than in X to 7. Or maybe I don't know how to do things in X again. In this case, ignorance is NOT happiness!

  For example, in FCP - 7 I like being able to see the entire waveform in the audio track. In this kind of a track, I see every word in an interview, often as a separate lump or bump in the stream of waveform, and I can cut or deal specifically with keyframes, if I have to, I can't do very well with few of these mountains or wave conjuncts which grow upward from the bottom of a FCPX audio track. (Or I will love the little better mountains when I get used to them?) Hey Apple - perhaps we could have a choice of how we want the waveforms to appear in FCPX?)

  If I have a sound like a click I want to eliminate in an audio track of the FCP 7, I can make a round trip above Soundtrack Pro as an Audio file project, where I can see the need very precisely, in extremely detailed audio waveforms, and there I have all kinds of tools to eliminate it with.

  Here is a concrete example, I'm dealing with right now in FCPX: I have an interview of a person whose first language is not English, and there a lot of clicks and pop in the speech which undoubtedly improve the words spoken in his native language, but English is simply distracting. The microphone unfortunately picked up all this racket very distinctly. If I could just send this audio track on to Soundtrack Pro it would be easy to deal with, but as it is, every click is a vague (and sometimes difficult to isolate) hint in one of the FCPX mountains in the audio track.

  So I Zoom in to the maximum in the audio track of FCPX and try to tamp pointing each click down with images keys, in the hope of eliminating it, but a lot of all time, with that I get is a click a little quieter, but still noticeable. If I push all the long silence, and then the empty spot in the audio track is almost as distracting, as was the trigger.

  Are there ways of audio repair defective in FCPX that I just haven't met yet? Or are people who want more control over the audio repairs send their audio tracks of any substitute Soundtrack (may make sense?)

  I have a selection of range the area usually clip and take it out and attach a small piece of your room below. I don't know enough about the logic of whether she can make a cut and fill how you could of Soundtrack Pro.
