Which is the best Solution, Clone or snapshot to apply the hotfix on Windows

Hello

I wonder what should I use as a backup of virtual machine for the application of the fix on windows... clone or snapshot.

Yes, the majority of the backup seems to instant because it is easy to take and come back when you want.

but I think that the clone is the powerful backup solution because it is able to have a file vmdk itself.

for example...

What happens when you clear snapshot and do not... As you know when delete you the shadow copy will merge the vmdk file.

Is that it will never fail?

While if you use clone, this kind of discomfort will disappear. because you don't have to think when you delete it.

This is an example.

Could you tell me your opinion and if you have already done or had a backup, the backup of your virtual machine? and why?

Thank you!

Snapshot of the virtual machine, you will have patch and after all updates have been installed, and you have verified that everything works well, delete all the snapshots of 'delete '.

Besides being able to use snapshots to prevent a patch making disappear your OS installation, you should have a separate for your VMS backup strategy.

If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!

  • What is the best solution to use a Palm Tungsten 2 on a Windows 7 computer?

    Pushed by the end of XP, I bought a workstation HP Z230 running Windows 7 Professional.   I would get my Palm Tungsten 2 work, and I've heard several options here on that.

    Options

    Use Palm Desktop 6.2 with Bluetooth for hotsync.  (I've done this with a laptop Win7, but I use the Notepad utility a lot with a few macros, which is unfortunately not supported on Desktop v6.2).

    B. use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 in a virtual Windows XP environment running under Win 7.  I know that I can do, and it's probably my rescue.  However, Microsoft suggests that you disconnect from the Internet when you use the virtual XP, as it can be sensitive to piracy because they support no more than XP.   This will be a further nuisance that I will probably forget to do.

    C. use the USB Aceeca driver to make Desktop 4.1.4 work.  I tried following the instructions here to do, but when Hotsync fails, he never appears as a triangle yellow in the Manager list of devices, even after I followed the tip to make visible hidden devices.  So I could not even try the Aceeca pilot with Palm 4.1.4 again.

    D. install the Aceeca Desktop 4.1 and update their driver.  I might try this (uninstall Palm 4.1.4 and install Aceeca 4.1) but it seems that it depends on the same procedure to update the driver as my option C just above.  So I think I can run in the same c dam.

    Someone at - it other ideas of how to get connected to Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Aceeca driver I could try?

    Eureka!

    I have now received Palm Desktop 4.1 to run on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and showing all the modules with my Tungsten T2 and without locking.

    The breakthrough was all the things above (including run them as an administrator) and adding to it, turn off the power of user access control, as suggested in another post unrelated by Dean (aka WyreNut)

    Here are the stops to run Palm 4.1 (not 4.1.4) on Windows 7 and synchronize with a T2.

    A. install Palm Desktop 4.1.

    B. when it tries to Hotsync and fails, look in the Device Manager in Control Panel and look for a reference to Palm with a yellow exclamation point in it.  Note: This palm reference appears only during a Hotsync.  Therefore, look right after a failure.  NOTE: If you do not see this device or the yellow exclmation point by it, you will probably need to uninstall Palm Desktop and start again.

    C. follow the instructions to install the driver of Aceeca instead of the Palm pilot.  (This is covered elsewhere on this site.  You must already have the driver downloaded and unpacked Aceeca and on your computer so you can navigate to it).  This should enable Hotsync to work.

    D. right-click on the shortcut to the program Palm Desktop 4.1 and go to the Compatibility tab and click on where it says 'Privilege level' and check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator."

    E, go to the control panel and disable user access control.  I didn't find this by going to the Control Panel, so I searched help and got the information.   There is a slider control and who slide down.  You will then need to reboot for it to take effect.

    After doing all these things, I am fortunately HotSync with my Tungsten T2 with its Palm Desktop 4.1 original.

  • Windows Update will not install the hotfix on Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 KB3122648

    Windows Update has always ends with 'Failure' / has encountered an unknown error. Code 80073712

    The convenience store has not solved it either.

    The server is not really exposed to 'outside' as such, runs in a local network, regular, small; but sometimes, a web browser may be in use.

    Is there anything that can / should be done here to remedy the failure of the installation? Or free time and even not to worry about this?

    It would be great to have a few strong indications here. Thank you!

  • What is the best solution for this idea...

    I have a task I'm trying to test and understand what would be the best solution for this, any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Devices at your fingertips:

    -2 ESXi hosts

    -1 iSCSI SAN OpenFiler (new just installed the app)

    2 ESXi hosts run a small amount of virtual machines that are all in the same domain.  I want to have a file server (or a repository somewhere) that houses a folder with easily accessible software (OS, Office, etc.) on the field.

    According to me, that if I made a virtual machine with a large hard drive and share the software, this would not be the best way because it would be dependent on the OS.  Someone has talked about doing a separte VMDK for it and then install it on the operating system on the virtual machine. This way I could always remove the and mount it somewhere else.

    It seems a bit weird to me that the software within this "shared folder" will also be sitting on the data store (if I create a virtual machine and need to use the OS/etc).  Not that doubles the space for the same software (in the comments, then the data store)?

    What is the best approach to make this action which can be accessed at the prompt (mostly windows) in the field?

    What is the best way to stay away the software doubles in action and on the data store?

    Please forgive me if I put interpereted your question.

    The problem you seem to face is that you must mount the ISOs of VMS software and physical systems that are on the field.

    (please, correct me if I'm wrong on this)

    If this is the case, then the best way to do would be to create sharing NFS on the openfiler, if you use openfiler to main databases also then he would be better for sharing this was separated to prevent the other help to be able to tamper with the VMDK and VMX files for your virtual machines.

    This could then be mounted in ESX to access the ISOs. While being easy to install on Linux and Windows machines to access the ISOs.

    If you have questions about NFS mounting in windows, so, this link may help

    http://sagehacks.WordPress.com/2009/01/21/HOWTO-mount-NFS-shares-under-Windows-7

    If you are needing to access the VMs software and it is mainly the downloading ISOs then th ISO directly to the data store is possible.

    This allows you to use ESX to mount the ISO on the virtual machine.

    On the point that the software will use double disk space when you install the software on a machine virtual car will be on the network share and the VMDK virtual machines in the data store. That's right, and that's by design.

    Each virtual machine under ESXI is 'independent' (http://www.vmware.com/virtualization/virtual-machine.html)

    This means that each virtual computer must have its own copy of the application.

    This perspective reflection of each virtual machine as a separate system of 'physical '. They interact with each other as if they were physical systems.

    Each VMDK resembles a physical hard disk. Being accessible (in most configurations) 1 VM at a time.

    So if you had a set of physical systems connected to a domain and I wanted to install an application on each one, then each would have its own local copy of the application. It's the same thing with virtual machines.

    However

    If you configure a set of physical machines so that you run the software from a network share. It is possible to do the same thing using virtual machines using the exactly the same configuration. However, the chiefs more associated to this are important in both cases.

  • What is the best solution of Webcenter to build an institutional Portal?

    In my team, we need to build an institutional portal for our company (it's a financial services company). So, we start rating the WebCenter Suite, but I m a bit confused about its battery.

    The needs of the portal is based to share dynamic content, such as news, information pages, cats/instant messages with clients, hotsites, change the skin/template/logo in run mode.

    Based in this tip, I know webcenter has two main ways to do things like that, there are site webcenter and webcenter space; so, my question:

    One of which are the best choice to offer this solution? Or the two working together in this case? How do you do that?

    Thank you.

    Edited by: user2043351 09/02/2012 05:37

    Check if the following information is userful, copied from the site of yannick:

    There have been many questions about when to use the WebCenter portal and when to use spaces WebCenter. There are specific use cases for each, and you can ask yourself a few simple questions that can help you to decide what to use. Generally WebCenter spaces is intended for intranet collaboration portals. In previous versions, spaces has been used because there is no easy way to build a portal with the WebCenter framework. Spaces was simply because it's there and that's why it has been misused a lot! Since the PS3, all good feature are out of the box available in a WebCenter portal application, then you should really watch the correct reason to use spaces or a portal. In this post, you can find a few questions that you can use to help your client or company to make the right decision. :

    (1) each user requires a personal space?
    One of the features in WebCenter spaces is personal space. In this space, each user can create their own pages and put some components they want to this topic. As an administrator, you can also create pages of role of companies that can be propagated to the personal space of specific users. When you want this kind of functionality, spaces WebCenter is necessary. These features are not available in a WebCenter portal. If you want to build in portal, it will take a lot of work.

    (2) not your project requires separate groups or micro-sites?
    One of the biggest features spaces is to create spaces for group. The space of each group have different pages. All the resources that you create (documents, discussions, events, lists,...) are related to the space of the group. You usually create a group for a Department, project,... to the Group of information into a coherent unit. If it's the functionality you are after, you definitely need spaces. These features are the main features of the spaces are usually among the first that you should look for.

    (3) not your project requires many customizations of the OOTB taskflows
    WebCenter to customize most of the out of the box taskflows. You can rearrange items, or add your own components. The way portal and workspaces with these customizations are slightly different. For portal, it can be easier. Taskflows customization Portal is just edit some pages jsff and xml with the role of customizer. They are automatically added to your gate, so no additional steps required. With spaces, you must create a separate project and import the contents of a generates the MAR file in the MDS using WLST scripts. This can be a bit heavy when you work with large projects and not as easy to maintain as a Portal personalization.

    (4) is the focus on the development of your project?
    When you set up a portal that requires a lot of custom development. If the amount of taskflows, you need to build is big and you need to do this split into several teams, it's a good idea to think using WebCenter portal instead of spaces. The reason is that the portal can be extended more easily. It is easy to separate the core portal development and the different taskflows. When you work with spaces, it's quite complicated to work as a team on the DesignwebCenterSpaces project, which is necessary to extend the spaces with additional taskflows.

    (5) do you need to build a PoC or very quickly?
    For proof of concept, spaces WebCenter is the way to go because you will not lose time on the construction of the core portal components. With a CEP, the base model is not the most important past. A CEP is all about to prove a technology or idea works. This can be easily done in spaces. Also note that once the POC is done, make sure you take the right decision for the use of spaces or a portal based on the previous questions. Not one of my arguments preferred for the use of spaces, but more often you want... When your due date is very close and you build a real working environment that it is better to go to space because you will not have to build the base of the portal. You can concentrate on the integration of your own custom features. This can still be a hassle as explained in question 4.

    What happens if you need both?
    These questions will help you decide whether to use WebCenter spaces. Of course, it happens a lot that you need to have the best of both worlds. What to do in such cases? Suppose you need to build a large intranet portal for a multinational company. Requirements requires each user to have a personal space to enable them to develop their own dashboards. The company also has a custom application that require the presence in the portal there is a lot of taskflows to develop. Basically, it is very easy. When you answer YES on both questions 1 and 2, you must go to space, regardless of the results of other issues. The reason for this is that implementation of these features in a custom WebCenter Portal requires such a big effort you'll save time by going for the spaces. You will lose time in the expansion of the spaces with your own custom taskflows, but it's nothing compared to the effort required to build your own framework for custom dashboard or spaces of group. If the two question 1 and 2 are NOT there is basically no real reason why you should go for spaces.

  • Best Solution to backup all the VMS to ESX 3.0 Server

    Dear admin,

    What the best solution for the protection of all the server/VM inside the ESX 3.0 server if equipment malfuction?

    As everyone has pointed out, HA provides defective material so really have good VMware ESX 3.5 HA, DRS and VMotion grouped where it gives you the flexibility to migrate VMs live/cold.  If you have already a San and 2 ESX hosts that can be made.  I would recommend that you add more memory to your hosts, because this is where performance counts.  You design with N + 1 in mind, which means at least that your standby hosts can manage all the virtual machines if it must pass dead server.  So, you could buy 1 server more or add more memory to contain virtual machines.

    VMware.com has good resources for architecture and planning on the new cluster check it out for more details or visit the VIOPS.

    Looking for the best solution run El Capitan in a mac Mountain Lion. I just need to use El Capitan to run xcode.

    1 apps that I always trust that are only optimized to work up until the 10,8

    2. I want the convenience of not having to restart my computer to use 1 program.

    I would recommend "don't bother." You don't like El Capitan then why do you want what it? If you know how to partition a disk, then install El Capitan on a new disk partition.

  • which is the best Web site program

    Which is the best site that I can buy, it's easy to download changing SKU

    Do you mean a hosting site, or an application to create the site?

    If a hosting site, it is just as easy as another. You use a client like Transmit or Fetch FTP to download your web data on your site. The main consideration is the quality of hosting site and how much you are willing to pay for (usually) annual fee. Most of these sites also automatically renewed your domain name name each year as part of the cost so you don't lose it to the vultures who are trying to jump on the domain names that the payment has lapsed, and then try to sell it to you, or someone else who wants to pick up a solid reputation.

    I started typing in the best web hosting services, and this was the first selected link auto. InMotionHosting just happens to be what I use and I have zero complaints on them in more than a decade of use. Which is best depends on the examiner. Here's another list. And a third just because.

    For the latter's proposal (the creation of your site), I now use Adobe Muse, which got quickly much better. About as close as you can get to visually a site without having to know much about HTML or CSS yourself. Dreamweaver, RapidWeaver is others. There's a lot here , I've never heard of. Most of them uses a large number of pre-constructed templates to speed up the process of building your site. It's good for certain types of sites, not a lot of help to others. Another list of comparison.

  • Is alcohol the best solution for the cleaning of the product

    Sometimes you print quality problems. You cannot print the colors, bad impression or bad imagingin during the scan images.

    You go through all the troubleshooting steps away as cartrides, glass, rollers of the printer cleaning and replacement of cartridges.

    Ask yourself what you should used during the cleaning of the unit?

    WATER and a LINT cloth, would be the best solution for cleaning. You can absorb the water on the cloth and clean the printhead, cartridges, the scanner glass, rolls and any other area that needs to be specific to the unit.

    ALCOHOL IS NOT AN OPTION. This can damage the strips and the contacts on the cartridges and the print head. The next time you need to clean your product, water is the best option.

    Hope this helps everyone.

  • Which screen is best for the new laptop

    I am a photographer of nature pro and you are looking to buy a new convertible laptop and I decided on the spectrum of HP 360 x 13.3 inches. I'll be using it for travel, showing pictures to clients and on the road, making a few changes on the images. This is not my main editing tool, but when you travel for long periods, I would not share a few images.


    HP offers two screens:

    13.3 "diagonal QHD + FPS BrightView - backlight WLED (3200 x 1800)

    or

    13.3 "diagonal QHD UWVA BrightView backlight OLED compatible multitouch glass (2560 x 1440) on board edge

    For the race of lightroom and photoshop and make a few changes. Which screen is best?

    I'm not really familiar with OLED, but it seems that the main selling point is deep blacks. It is very good for watching movies and virtually nothing else. If you work for printing, so jet of ink or offset, she has a problem of pure and simple. Obviously, no drop-down list paper/ink never remotely cannot match - and if you're in there for a monumental disappointment when you see the result.

    The objective is always of "what you see is what you get". This means lower the contrast on the screen ratio.

    I keep my Eizos calibrated to 0.5 cd/m² dark purposes most - which is actually high enough - to get a good screen to print match. For some work on Matt paper I go as high as 1.2 cd/m².

    The other advantages of OLED - wide angles of vision and the wide range of colors - are already covered by IPS/PLS/AMVA existing panels.
