With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

Hello

I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

When you try to save it, I get the following in hostd.log:

Any help is appreciated.

The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

-Copy the files in another data store

-change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

-Try and mount the drive

-If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

-If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.

  • Updated to the Mavericks and now the MXF files will not work properly

    2008 mac Pro, just upgraded to the Mavericks. We use Canon XF 300 s that create MXF video files. When they are imported into first CC, different files have the first video on playback and I can not change the rest of the clips because they are all the first clip. The reading of the original files normally when you use VLC Player. I have the same question on all the machines of Mavericks, we have but not the machines that are still on Lion 10.7, the MXF files work fine. Is there a solution from Adobe, or is it a matter of Mavericks?

    You know what, I think I just solved her problem. Using the media browser, I was able to import a MXF file, because it combines all of the individual clips in a clip.

  • Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

    It shows:

    This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    Hello

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

    Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

    See also:

    You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

  • I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the functionality is Gone

    I have been using the functionality of Firefox in which I could have multiple sets of tabs open, but only see the game I was working with. I have updated and now the feature disappeared. I had a small icon on the top right of my toolbar. I used it all the time to keep windows separated for financial, plans to travel items, news, etc.. Has it been removed from Firefox?

    Hello

    The feature of tab groups is always present. You can try with the button right of the + after the last tab and Customize. If the icon is hidden behind the other, or if it is available inside the mini window customize, you can put it back. If the problem persists, you can also try of reset toolbars and controls: and start to make changes and restart in Safe Mode screen.

    From the F8 Advanced Boot Options menu, were you unable to choose:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Your system sounds like it restarts to determine what he complains and then someone can help you to repair.

    This is why there is a disable automatic restart on system failure option...

    There is another option in the menu F8 Advance Startup Options:

    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)

    I do not think that this will help you, but you can at least say you tried it if someone suggests.

    MS products generally work as expected, but may not perform as desired or expected.  You can push that dog and make good the bark.

    We arrived after the weekend and our virtual machine wasn't so I tried to log in the infrastructure client and the password did not work.  We tried to leave the empty password and it connected with root.  Then we saw that our virtual machine did not appear in the inventory list.  The data store still exists on the computer with the files that it contains.  That's happened?  How can I get it back?

    I couldn't tell you what happened. There has been cases with a new installation where the configuration is not saved but be?
