Can't spawn multiple VMs from one image simultaneously?

When creating new VMs from an image it seems that the image is locked during VM creation. This in turn blocks the creation of further images
example timeline:
start creating vm 1 from image 1
start creating vm 2 from image 1
vm 2 creation fails because image 1 is locked by vm 1
vm 1 creation finishes
vm 2 can now be created because image 1 is no longer locked.
The exact error message shown is:
 Windows Azure is currently performing an operation on this deployment that requires exclusive access.
I have created a template Image and wish to spawn a large cluster (>100 nodes) from it. However, as the creation is sequential this is impractical in terms of start up time.
Is there a fix/workaround for this?

I can spawn as many VM's as i like form a single image as long as i do it in sequence. However what i cannot do is spawn 2 simultaneously from the same image. If i have an image named "myImage" i cannot instruct Azure to create a VM (e.g. "vm1") from myImage
and then start the creation of a different VM ("vm2") from myImage before the first one has been created. 
The images were created using the workaround for VM capture detailed here:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/WAVirtualMachinesforWindows/thread/3507b040-666f-4005-8a24-30a08ba5c713/
And are being launched using the powershell cmdlets from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj152841
As a workaround for this i tried copying a single .vhd many times and creating many images("myImage1", "myImage2","myImage3" etc.) from them. However an issue occurred with this also as it seems the Add-AzureImage cmdLet creates an exclusive operation that
does not allow me to register images in parallel.

  • How can I copy GPS information from one image to another?

    I bought a Canon S100 specifically for its GPs and movie capability.  On a recent vacation, I used the S100 and a Nikon D300.  In cases where images were taken with both cameras in approximately the same place, I would like to copy the GPS information from the S100 CR2 files to the D300 NEF files.  Does anyone know how to do this or if there is any plugins that will do it?

    The added benefit of using GeoSetter to copy the information from one photo to another, is that you can see where every already-tagged photo is on a Google map to make sure the location is actually correct.  Sometimes the camera clock is off a few seconds or minutes and you can easily figure how what offset to use by watching where the existing photos show on the map.
    Using the MS Pro Photo Tools to generate a track from the existing S100 photos and then using that track in GeoSetter to assign the rest, with interpolation enabled, seems like the best course of action if the S100 track information is no longer available.
    When using an external program to Geotag images that are already in LR, to be safe you should first save all the metadata to XMP files in the folder you’re going to tag, then exit LR, then geotag the photos, then restart LR and read information from all the XMP files.
    Another benefit of GeoSetter is that you can assign the locality information to the photos that already have just coordinates in them.

  • Can I sync multiple accounts from one pc to various devices?

    My wife and I share a laptop. Is it possible to set up the sync so that her bookmarks, etc sync to her mobile devices and mine to mine?

    You would have to create a separate Firefox account with their own e-mail address for each of you to be able to use Sync in that way.
    Note that with the new Sync you need to have Firefox 29 or later on all connected devices.

  • Can there by multiple accounts under one id?  I just loaded a $25 gift card and it showed up in my balance.  My daughter, under the same id had $12.0 left from a previous gift card.  Now only the $12.01 shows up and the $25 is nowhere to be found?

    Can there be multiple accounts under one apple id?  My daughter and wife apparently share an id between my daughter's ipod and my wife's ipad.  My daughter has what she believes is her $12.01 left from a gift card.  My wife loaded a $25 gift card recently (I saw the $25 balance in her account when she was done) and after a password change, now all that shows up is the $12.01?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    The float all in windows option is grey and not accessible ? How can I copy from one image to another ? Elements 11

    You really are not getting this.
    "I guess I am still completely shocked that as a parent we can't download something for everyone to use."
    Why do you continue to think this although we keep telling you that this is not the case.
    You do NOT have to purchase anything twice.  You can share the music with as many ipods as you like in your household.
    The ipods are designed to sync with your computer regularly.  You should have been syncing these other ipods with your computer all along, thus transferring the purchases to your computer where that music can be synced to as many ipods as you like.
    Take on of the ipods with the music in it.  Open itunes on your computer.  Plug in the ipod.  Do not sync.  Click File>Transfer Purchases  This will transfer the purchases from the ipod to the computer.  Make sure that you have authorized your account on the computer:  here are directions for that. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    Unplug the ipod.
    Plug in the other ipod with purchased music.  Do not sync.  Click File>Transfer Purchases  This will transfer purchases from the ipod to the computer.
    You can now plug in any of the ipods, select what you want to sync and sync.
    Have a look at the manual for the ipod.  http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf

  • Creating multiple links from one map image in Flash CS4

    I have been tasked with creating multiple links from one map image using flash. Each link would go to the main website page with that location. I assume I could create a button for each location on the map but not having a lot of experience any help / tutorial you know of would be super helpful.. Thanks! Not looking for someone to work me thru it but a little guidance would be great!

    If I was to answer the problem, I would be giving you what you asked not to be given... the solution.  So I'll suggest that you start by researching the getURL() function.  That is what AS2 uses for opening web pages.
    As for coding a button, I'll recommend the following article for you... it will explain the proper approach to coding a button, which will give you an advantage over others who don't follow it, but instead use the way the article says not to.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/as_bestpractices_04.html
    Google is one of the best resources available for learning how to do things with Flash--it's the first place I go when I have a wondering.  In general, if you type in the right keywords, you get fairly good search results.  In your case, combinations of "AS2", "button", "getURL", "tutorial" would probably work well.

  • How do I copy layers from one image to another?

    I am editing figures for a journal and I need arrows for multiple images.  Is there a standard arrow?  I can only see free hand.  If I use a free hand arrow I then want to copy it to the other images for consistency.  How do I copy or share layers between images?

    There are many arrows in the shape tool, or you can set the line tool to have an arrowhead in the tool options. You can copy/paste layers from one image to another, or drag a layer from the layers panel into the main image window of another image and then use the move tool to position it. You can also drag into the thumbnail in the photo bin, but you'll still need to bring the image up to adjust the positioning.

  • Lightbox -- Multiple photos from one thumbnail?

    What I want to do is create a lightbox that launches a set of multiple photos from one thumbnail. Is this possible? All I have been able to do is create a lightbox that display's all of it's contents as thumbnails on my page. I am creating a portfolio page and I want each project's images to launch from one thumbnail. All of the projects would then be able to appear on one page. The work-around of course would be to make a separate page for each project, and make a lightbox within each one of these pages. Any solutions for this? Thanks!

    You can achive this by combining the Composition Lightbox Widget with the Slideshow Widget.
    01. Add Lightbox Display widget from the Composition section in the Widget Library
    02. For each small grey box (the Trigger) add your thumbnail
    03. In the larger grey box (the Target) add your Slideshow Widget (anyone you'd like from the Widget Library)
    04. Replace images with the images you want for your slideshow
    05. Preview

  • How can i transfer my music from one account to another on a different computer?

    So i have an itunes account on dell laptop and i share that account with other famliy members. I recently bought a mac pro and wanted to create a new account that way i can use icloud, is there any possible way to transfer everything from my old library to my new one or will i lose everything i had on my phone and ipods?

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • Can there be multiple accounts on one id?

    can there be multiple accounts on one id?

    Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
    You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
    If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer,  you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • How can I scan multiple pages to one file with MG 7120

    My printer does not have ADF. How can I scan multiple pages to one file on my MG 7120?

    Hi albabynyr,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single file.  To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
    1. Start IJ Scan Utility by going to your Start menu, then selecting All Programs, then Canon Utilities, then  IJ Scan Utility (folder), then IJ Scan Utility (program).
    2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
    4. In the right pane of the window, locate the SELECT SOURCE field and select the DOCUMENT option.
    5. Set the color mode, document size, and scanning resolution as required in the rest of the fields shown in the window. Click DOCUMENT SCAN ORIENTATION SETTINGS... to specify the orientation of the documents to be scanned.
    6. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
    a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
    b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
    c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears. If you have more pages to scan, place the next page on the platen and click Scan.  Do this each time a page has completed scanning.  After the last page has been scanned, click Exit. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed during scanning.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4059 How can I move a book from one device to another

    How can I move an iBook from one device to another

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:
