You press on delete all selected items by browsing the data store and accidentally deleted a vmdk file which has the OS on it

I accidentally deleted the vmdk file that has my OS on it by pressing the "Delete selected items" button in the window of browser data store. Is there anyway to recover? I have a snapshot that doesn't seem to work. There is still the VMDK file in there, but it has now 'delta' be added at the end. Now I get an error message when I try to turn on my VM saying that he doesn't get the vmdk file, of course.

From the screen shots looks you have deleted only the descriptor hard files that can be recreated. To ensure this is the case, please provide a complete list of the files in the folder of the virtual machine and attach the last file.log of vmware(from the virtual work computer) to a post response to view required details.

  • Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

    Hello

    I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

    Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

    Greg ~.

    If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

    I have re-iterate below checks:

    -No virtual machine is in the data store

    -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

    -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

    -IGCS is disabled for this data store

    -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

    Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store

  • computer keeps restarting, against all odds, while I browse the internet

    How can I determine my type of memory to change?

    My computer keeps restarting, against all odds, while I browse the internet, I have advised me to try to change the memory card, but I do not know how to determine the type of card, I need. I have a Mirus counter top, and I'm running Windows XP SP3.

    Hi paulipaul,
     
    You can take any memory card (RAM-Random Access Memory), but make sure that it should be less than 4 GB. For the shoring of RAM to the motherboard you are using, refer to the manual of the computer.

  • How to list all files within a data store and sent an email...

    Hello

    I know that within a data store there of are VM, but these virtual machines are right files?

    Some might create a virtual machine, remove the inventory but do not delete the folder/VM from the data store.

    Is thre anyway to get a script to list all records, not VM. s within a data store and be able to send emails?

    Thanks for your help,

    How about something like this:

    $VIServer = "YourVIServer".

    $EmailFrom = "Sender@Email".

    $EmailTo = "Recipient@Email".

    $Subject = "email subject".

    $SMTPServer = "YourSMTPServer".

    SE connect-VIServer $VIServer

    $datastores = get-Datastore

    {Foreach ($datastore to $datastores)

    $msg = "' nFolders in Datatore:"+ $datastore. " Name + "' not n".

    New-PSDrive-location $datastore - PSProvider data store name - VimDatastore-root '-' | Out-Null

    $folders = get-ChildItem Datastore:------|? {$_. ItemType - eq "File"}

    Remove-PSDrive Datastore. Out-Null

    {Foreach ($folder in $folders)

    $msg = "' t ' + $folder. Name + "' n '.

    }

    }

    Send-MailMessage-to $EmailTo - of $EmailFrom - $msg - SmtpServer $SMTPServer body-subject $Subject

    Disconnect-VIServer-confirm: $false

    This will send an email with an output similar to the following:

  • Migration of all the catalog items to a different data store in the same storage profiles

    Hello

    is any possibility to migrate everything in the catalog (time and iso files) to a different data store that has the same profile (Silver) storage group?  Because I have 2 groups of data store with the same profile of storage (Silver) and I want to delete one of this cluster.

    I found this kb: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2058094 but it speaks solely of media files of migration between different storage profiles.

    Have vCD 5.6.4

    You happen to use rapid Provisioning?  This is probably the only problem I can think of.

    Environments that have no linked Clones or shadows created from them, you can just Storage vMotion them between the same storage policy data warehouses.  Just make sure that the data store or a store of data clusters are visible in vCloud Director first of all in the framework of this storage policy.

    When you use linked clones, I don't remember the exact process... I think that I have in my office somewhere (I'm at home now).

    Hello

    Were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?

    Method 1 : delete the file in safe mode and check if the problem is solved or not.

    Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.

     Start your computer in SafeMode (Windows 7)

    Method 2 : perform the steps in the article and check if the problem is solved or not.

    Why can't I delete a file or a folder?

    Hope that helps.

  • Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

    We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:

    all stores of data seen by a cluster

    the virtual machines on the data store

    the host of the virtual machine is on

    the cluster the host is in

    The output I want is

    name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster

    any help would be appreciated

    Pretty sure this will do what you need:

    $report = @()
    Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){
        $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore
        foreach($datastore in $datastores){
        $vms = $datastore | Get-VM
        If ($vms.count -ge 1){
            foreach($VM in $vms){
            $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
                  Datastore = $datastore.Name
                  VM = $VM.Name
                  HostName = $VM.VMhost
                  Cluster = $cluster
                }
            $report += $object
            }
    
        }
        }
    }
    $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
    

    If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use

    $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
    

    Hope this helps

  • I can't delete a corrupted file which keeps causing execution errors

    During a simple renaming of files, the file became corrupted somehow and the file is on my desk. Whenever I start it, a message error window pop up and States:

    "This application has requested the execution to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact support team of enforcement for more information".

    The name at the top of the error message window is Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

    Then if I click OK or close this window it says that windows Explorer has stopped working and you have to restart.

    I think that if I can delete the damaged from the computer I will not continue to receive this error message but I tried everything I know and I am unable to remove it. I even ran a program called "FileASSASSIN" but it was impossible to remove.

    I also ran my anti-virus software to remove the damaged files, but was unable to remove it. I can not move the file to another folder or even rename it again.

    I really don't want to have to re - install windows, if there still around him.

    Thank you

    Jerry...

    You can use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    When you got your system back as you, I invite you to buy an external hard drive, and a good backup 3rd party program. You can configure it to automatically do everything in time and frequency of your choice. 1.5 TB external hard drives is approximately $90 these days and a very good FREE backup program corresponds to the Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . Who can make you save a lot of time and frustration, the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later, it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

    Good luck.

  • Deletion of snapshots to recover from data store space

    ESXi 4.1

    I have an ESXi host Miss space on one of its data warehouses. No 911 short, but short enough so that something needs to be done in a few weeks. On this data store, we created snapshots of some servers Exchange 2010 hosted before installing a custom Microsoft patch. So we have a server HUB, CASES and MB each with a single shot of several months that we will never have to come back. In this navigation data store, some of these 00001.vmdk files are huge, almost up to the size of the player it is a snapshot of. I believe it happened when we had backup problems and drive full of balls of trans.

    In any case, I want to remove these snapshots in snapshot Manager on each of those virtual machines by selecting the snapshot and hit delete. The problem is I've read different information about what will happen. Some of the information I've read says even this will take even MORE space. I don't know how that's possible, but I wanted to get in the forums before doing anything.

    Delete the snapshots will delete all files in capture instant hard, recovering a ton of space on the data store?

    TIA!

    The OMI 30 GB should be enough. When you delete the snapshot with the virtual machine, a snapshot of assistance is created, which will consume disk space necessary for any change, even if the current snapshot is being deleted more ~ 4GB for the snapshot file (.vmsn).

    With the virtual machine off, you will not need any addiitonal disk sapce. However, you won't be able to turn on the virtual machine again, until it's finished!

  • Ungroup selected items, and then remove them

    Hello!

    I have a code which removes the tags (if there are tags) of objects and then delete them.

    The problem is so marked objects are grouped. Or objects grouped in another group.

    I need to unlink the selected objects and then close and delete.

    How can I do this?

    My current code:

    for (var iSel = app.activeDocument.selection.length-1; iSel >=0 ; iSel--){
         var currentSelection = app.selection[iSel];
              if (currentSelection.associatedXMLElement != null) {
                   currentSelection.associatedXMLElement.untag();
                   currentSelection.remove();
              }
              else {
                   currentSelection.remove();
              }
    }
    
    
    

    You can work with the property "allPageItems" for each selected object and removes the thiese brand first.
    Later you could delete all of the items selected, if you really must.

    Also locked points, if you wish.

    Code:

    var sel = app.selection;
    
    //UNTAG ALL SELECTED ITEMS:
    for(var n=0;n=0;n--){
    
        //LOCKED ITEMS WILL BE UNLOCKED:
        if(sel[n].locked){sel[n].locked = false};
    
        //THEN DELETED:
        sel[n].remove();
    
        };
