AVHD directly attached...do I need to merge with VHD before moving?

I am installing a new Hyper-V host and moving some VM's. I ran into an issue where a VM with snapshots would not merge and the VM went into Saved-Critical and upon reboot went missing.
I followed the steps in this article ("Better alternatives to manually merging snapshots in Server 2008 R2" I can't post a link until my acct is verified) and got the latest snapshot mounted and the VM back up and it's fine. Now I need to move
the avhd to the new host.
Is it safe to move the avhd to a new host and remount it? Or, should I merge with the original vhd and then move? If so, how...because there are no snapshots listed in Hyper-V Manager?

Hi Sir,
>>Now I need to move the avhd to the new host .
>>Is it safe to move the avhd to a new host and remount it? Or, should I merge with the original vhd and then move?
I assume that you want to move avhd and vhd to another host for VM .
In that case , I would suggest you to merge these snapshots first then move  the merged VHd file to new host then attach it for new VM .

  • What is needed to merge with windows

    I am interested in using windows vista with my mac and have been told you need "parallels" and the vista program. Has anyone done this and is it successful?

    It was kind of you to respond to my question. I should have been more specific but the intent was to draw more than a "yes". The subject refers to windows compatibility and since I am using a macbook pro my post will remain within the various apple discussions.

  • Help! Standard v7 I need to merge pdf's or ps files

    I need to merge two lists of pdf's or ps files and create one single list of pdfs (or ps files I prefer the output to be pdf). So I'll have two folders(1&2)
    Folder 1 Folder 2
    a.ps a.ps or a1.ps ( whatever I need to do)
    b.ps b.ps or b1.ps
    c.ps c.ps or c1.ps
    d.ps d.ps or d1.ps
    I'll need to merge those in a batch process like distiller or something (its just what I am familiar with) and come out with files:
    a.pdf
    b.pdf
    c.pdf
    d.pdf
    I was told its a standard function of pro v9

  • Backup Oracle VMs using a direct attached tape library

    Hello all,
    I'm in the process of getting a specification for a new Oracle VM host server which will run OEL VMs and host Oracle databases (10g and others), currently we're looking at getting an HP DL580 and a MSL6000 tape library using SAS connectors.
    Regarding backups, I understand that Oracle VM Server doesn't have a built in mechanism for backups so would need to use a backup method from within the virtual machines.
    Is it possible, and advisable, to use a tape library directly attached to the host server and use an OEL VM running Symantec Netbackup which will then backup the other VMs, if so, are there any issues or gotchas I should be aware of?
    If it is possible to do this, do I connect the tape library to the VM by editing the VM config file and add the tape library devices as 'phy:/dev/xxx'
    Thanks in advance,
    Martin.

    NDMP is for backing up NAS platforms.
    Does your backup software support "LAN-Free" backup ? Typically enterprise backup software like Netbackup, TSM, Networker require a special license/agent that gets loaded on server where you are going to implement LAN-Free backups. Without that software/license servers will be fighting for tape resources and it will be a mess (if it works at all). Also you want to use dedicated HBA or port on dual HBA for tape traffic, do not mix tape and disk traffic on the same HBA/port. In big shops people configure dedicated "tape" VSANs but that would be an overkill for your current environment.

  • UCS direct attach to NetApp in Flexpod

    Hello Experts,
    We have a new project  which is based on Flexpod design and needs a direct attach between the FI 6248  and NetAPP storage.(Without a Fabric Switch N5K or MDS)
    We had concern if Cisco  has validated this design.Or else if there is CVD(Cisco Validated Design) based  on Direct attach of UCS with NetAPP storage.Also if there is/are any constraints  / limitations that must be considered in such a direct attach  design
    Is there any document (CVD) by Cisco or NetApp which details the diagram/configuration steps and other relevant information for the direct attach between UCS FI and Netapp storage.
    FYI: The architecture will be like this
    2 FI6248
    1 5108 Chassis
    1 B200m2 and 1 b200m3 Blade
    2 2104 IOM
    No Fabric Switch between FI and NetApp storage.
    An early response will be very much appreciated and a useful doc with details.

    Thanks Abhinav and Matthew,
    Now Since UCSM 2.1 supports direct-attached NetApp.So to validate the architecture I updated by UCSM to 2.1.1a and now it should support a direct attach NetApp with UCS System.
    I have conncted ports 31 and 32 of both FI (FC Stoarge Port with required SFPs) to my NetApp Device.But problem I am facing is,it says Link failure or not-connected and is in Orange Colour.Any idea where am I wrong?
    I dont want to use FCoE Traffic or NFS between FI and NetApp.I want to use the FC traffic between UCS and NetApp.Is it possible and if yes How?

  • Direct attachment of a server to 6100 UCS

    Hi,
    I would like to know if i can directly attach a standalone server with 10G CNA to the UCS 6100 10G port and it login to the switch. For example the way we do with c5020 switch. In the 6100 CLI config guide i have not seen any command like binding a vfc to a physical eth int or VSAN FCoE VLAN association.
    Also can any one please explain at present how it works? I see from config guide it connects to the Blade chassis below. I guess the hardware where 10G ports from 6100 are connected is a fabric extender sitting on the blade chassis.
    If i have a fabric extender connceted to 6100 and let my server connect to the FEX, will that work? I am just trying to learn connectivity point of view.
    Thanks.

    This video is helpful but it did not answer many Qs i have related to appliance port configuration.
    As my FI is independent POD, i dont need End-Host mode right ? At least on the Fabric side. In the LAN side i guess it does not matter ? Can any one correct me please ??
    Also once i configure the applicance port, where the appliance port will log in ? I did not see a show flogi database command. Besides i am not sure, if the UCS FI can work as FCF? Am i expected to see Discovery Advertisement that usually FCF sends to VN_port? How about LLDP? Can it negotiate LLDP with the appliance port which has SP-MA supported CNA.
    Thanks,

  • Direct Attach SATA 4TB Storage Solution

    I need to purchase a Direct Attach storage device. It will need to store 3-4TB of video files. I have narrowed down my search to three companies: Dulce Systems (4TB Quad), Sonnet Technologies (4TB Fusion), and CalDigit (HDPro). My budget is $5000. I am looking for any suggestions or feedback on any of these systems or advice on another system. I am finding it very difficult to find people who have worked with any of these devices other than the sales staff for each company. This is a big investment for me. I want to make the most informed decision I can. This forum has always had good advice, Im hoping a few people can help me out.

    I got this Westerndigital world edition II Hard Disk 1GB. It is very slow and require mionet(WD AccessAnywhere)/internet connection to be recognised in my computer. You can use it without mionet but you have to map each folder to appear in my computer (it will appear in my network places). You also need to be consistent as everything you create using mionet you can't change without it and vice versa. It is based on SAMBA only so no NFS, etc.
    Mionet is interesting if you travel a lot. It will make you be able to share your file anywhere in the world (they said securely) but it is not free. There is yearly fee.
    Its transfer speed is only about 5MByte/s (around 40Mbps which explain my network utilization of around 40% on fast ethernet) because it is the limit of their internal processor (I ask WD about this so it is acurate). So it does not matter whether you got gigabit ethernet or not. Also it has limit on the file sized transfered. I have successfully transfered around 4 GB at a time (takes about 20min) but I when I transfered 12 GB (12 big files around 1 GB and few small files) it choked near the end (report error).
    It's 2 TB also based on 2 1GB HD with JBOD so it does not provide safety of data redundancy. It does offer RAID 1 (mirroring) but you got only 1TB.
    I use it for backup of my video (DIVX, XVID, WMV, etc) and it can stream these file OK. I have no idea how it will handle bigger data rates.
    I agree the fastest way is using eSATA drives. I plan to buy another 1GB eSATA drives when the price drop to store video and use WD as other purpose. Hope it helps.

  • Zoning in direct attached storage environment

    Hi everibody,
    I have a small humble question about zoning.
    When using JBOD, each physical disk had its own WWPN and FCID. The zoning configuration is for a server WWPN against disk WWPN so basically each server has its own disk.
    Now for more advance storage systems (such as EMC) instead of physical disks to be mapped to servers we are mapping LUNs per server. I thought that for each LUN a WWPN and FCID are created and then you map the server to that LUN’s WWPN. Now I see that it does not work this way.
    I have a UCS system with direct attached storage (EMC VNX5100). The active zoneset shows that all servers WWPNs are mapped to the same target WWPN (which is the EMC). There is a zone entry for each server.
    So basically the result of that is that all servers can access the same target and the EMC controls the isolation of the LUNs from other servers.
    If this is correct, then my question is why do I need the zoning configuration in this scenario ? why not set the default zone to permit and let EMC control LUN access?
    BTW, this scenario of one storage system attached to the SAN is the same if we use Nexus 5k, so why bother and set zoning if the EMC can control the access to LUNs?

    If this is correct, then my question is why do I need the zoning configuration in this scenario ? why not set the default zone to permit and let EMC control LUN access?
    You could of course create multiple Storage Target Policies (different FC interface on controller, resp. other storage arrays)
    Zoning is just another level of security, default zone permit is not recommended to be used in productive environments. The standard classical procedure is: zoning AND lun masking / mapping.
    In the case of N5k, you have to do the zoning manually (CLI), or with DCNM-SAN; in the case of local zoning on the Fabric Interconnect, UCS Manager does it automatically for you. 
    Hope that helps !

    I need to merge the two how can  I do that now that this system has me as two different accounts. One is Tracy Rucker the other one has all of my names
    Tracy Randle Wlliams Rucker?
    Help please no verication e-mails can be verified with the old sbcglobal.net account

    In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
    Click "Deuthorize ALL"
    Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer.  If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
    You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first.

  • Need to Merge an Adobe XML file with a normal PDF

    The problem...
    I have created an order form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (pre-ES).  The customer's requirements force us to merge their purchase order (a flat standard PDF) with the order form I have created to get the complete PDF to bill with.  Previously we were using a form created in another software and printing to PDF to merge the 2 PDF files.  The thought process with creating a form in LiveCycle Designer was "Oh 2 PDF's we can just merge them" ... we were very WRONG.  And please don't suggest "Packaging" the files... it won't work for our processing system... we've already tried .
    What we know now (had we known it before we'd have never purchased the licensing for LiveCycle Designer to start with)...
    You can NOT merge a PDF that has XML in it with Adobe Proffesional.
    Temporary Solution...
    We know we can print to PDF and then merge the files... this gets us the result we need, but it takes longer to print to PDF from these XML files than it did from the previous versions of the order forms in created in other software.
    Is there another solution? 
    Plea for help!  The users that are forced to do the process of printing to file and merging are ready to riot and/or go back to the "other" software.

    Hello!
    There are a couple terms you can google:
    "PDF Concatenate Forms iText"
    "Merge XML data with PDF Forms"
    Concatenating PDFs means you join multiple forms together into one PDF.
    Did you need to merge, or concatenate the forms?
    Either way there are a couple of methods to do this programmably.
    iTextSharp (.NET)
    iText (Java)
    FDFToolkit.net (.NET)
    iText products are open source, and have a learning curve, and support is provided on a Open mailing list.
    iText products are free ($) but can cost you time and money to research the methods.

  • Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard, garage band/MAC and Alesis 8.0multitrack mixer, or should I go direct into the USB of the Alesis with my keyboard into the mixer?

    Do I need an audio interface between my roland keyboard and alesis 8.0 multitrack mixer when interfacing with Garage Band? Or can I just go direct USB MAC into the Alesis Mixer with keyboard directly into the Mixer? ie, is the interface overkill?

    First of all the Alesis 8.0 is a usb audio interface so you already have a interface. Next you could go from the Roland into the Alesis into the Mac. You could also go from the Roland headphone or line out into the Mac Pro audio input. And depending on what Roland keyboard you have, you may be able to use Midi (usb) and use the Macs Midi voices.

  • Need to merge xml o/p from different sources to generate BIP Report from OA page
