Delete snapshot subtree fails

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Datacenter with Hyper-V role installed. OS on drive C. Hyper-V configured to store everything on drive D.
Created a snapshot of a VM prior to installing software update on VM.
Update was successful.
Shut down VM, then in Hyper-V Manager attempt to either Delete snapshot subtree or Delete Snapshot in order to merge.
Get failure message:
An error occurred while attempting to delete the selected snapshot subtree.
<server> failed to remove snapshot.
Have restarted machine and VMMS.
Nothing else I can find online to resolve this.

I usually run into this error due to Anti-Virus.
Make sure that you have set the proper AV exclusions according to the following blog:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2179.hyper-v-anti-virus-exclusions-for-hyper-v-hosts.aspx
Hope this helps!

Deleting Checkpoint subtree in Hyper-V started merge on live machine

Background:
Physical Host: Windows Server 2012 R2
Virtual Machine: Windows Server 2012 R2
I've been reading online about the fact that you need to delete snapshots/checkpoints for performance rather than leave them lingering forever. Sadly what little information I've found online seems to be inaccurate. Some people say delete the checkpoint
then power off the machine. Others say Delete the checkpoint subtree and then SHUT DOWN the machine, not power off.
While the latter seems to be more accurate than other blogs I've read, it still didn't seem to be entirely accurate. Deleting the subtree seemed to start the merge before I even had a chance to shut the VM down. I saw the status in the Hyper-V virtual machines
pane and it immediately started merging.
It appears to have worked out fine, but I am curious if this is normal. I am wondering if the blogs I read are specific to older versions of Hyper-V (2008), as they don't quite have a date or other indicator on the blogs.

2008 you had to shut down (or turn off) the VM to start the merge process. Change was made in 2012 to start the merge process without shutting down the VM.

Proc Chain - Delete Overlapping Requests fails with aggregates

BW Forum,
Our weekly/daily load process chain loads several full (not delta) transaction infopackages. Those infopackages are intended to replace prior full loads and are then rolled up into aggregates on the cubes.
The problem is the process chains fail to delete the overlapping requests. I manually have to remove the aggregates, remove the infopackages, then rebuild the aggregates. It seems that the delete overlapping request fails due to the aggregates or a missing index on the aggregates, but I'm not certain. The lengthy job log contains many references to the aggregate prior to it failing with the below messages.

I've looked for OSS notes. I've tried to find a process to delete aggregates prior to loading/deletion of overlapping requests. In the end, I've had to manually intervene each time we execute the process chain, so I've got to resolve the issue.
Do others have this problem? Are the aggregates supposed to be deleted prior to loading full packages which will require deletion of overlapping requests? I presume not since there doesn't seem to be a process for this. Am I missing something?
We're using BW 3.3 SP 15 on Oracle 9.2.0.3.
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Are the aggregates compressed after the rollup? If you compress the aggregate completely, the Request you are trying to delete is no longer identifiable once it is in the compressed E fact table (since it throws away the Request ID).
So you need to change the aggregate so that it the most recent Requests remain in the uncompressed the F fact table. Then the Request deletion should work.
I thought what was supposed to happen if the aggregate was fully compressed and then you wanted to delete a Request, the system would recognize that the Request was unavailable due to compression and that it would automatically refill the aggregate - but I'm not sure where I read that. Maybe it was a Note, maybe that doesn't happen in a Process Chain, just not sure.
The better solution when you regularly backout a Request is just not the fully compress the aggregate, letting it follow the compression of the base cube, which I'm assuming you have set to compress Requests older than XX days.

Delete tunnel "sit0" failed: Operation not permitted

I tried to connect to Ipv6 through a 6to4 tunnel, but I couldn't and now I cannot delete the tunnel and I cannot connect to internet at all because all traffic is being redirected to the unusable tunnel.
When I created the tunnel I ran the following code:
# ip tunnel add 6to4 mode sit remote any local 192.168.43.68 (which was my address)
I tried to flush and delete the tunnel and it deleted "6to4", but " sit0" remains. When I try to delete it, it says
# ip tunnel del sit0
delete tunnel "sit0" failed: Operation not permitted
I did this as root, of course, and I need to delete it to get my Internet working again. Help please!
Oh, and rebooting or modprobe -r sit has not resolved the problem because the interface remains and it doesn't show any webpage, although I can see that it shows connected.
Is there any config file where tunnel configuration is saved so I could modify the file manually and reboot without it being active again?
Last edited by kristian.tenorio (2015-01-17 14:02:15)

I'm sorry. I actually had a DNS problem that I hadn't figured out. I still have not deleted the sit0 interface, but it's not giving me problems (it wasn't exactly the cause).

How to purge PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT table, after deleting snapshots

I had an alarm on the free space of the PERFSTAT tablespace. In order to free up some space I tried to delete some old StatsPack snapshots, with the following query:
DELETE from perfstat.stats$snapshot where snap_time < sysdate - 10 ;
COMMIT;
After running it the space usage on the tablespace was not significantly reduced. I checked again and I saw that the table PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT was very big, almost 8 Gb, but all the other tables were a lot smaller. I read somewhere that the sppurge.sql procedure, that comes with Oracle, could be used to purge the statspack data, but that it comes with the lines related to PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT commented, because it is a big query and it can take a lot of undo space. I tried to run the followiung query, which I found in the forum, by Don Burleson, but it failed, because of running out of undo:
DELETE /*+ index_ffs(st)*/
FROM perfstat.stats$sqltext st
WHERE (hash_value, text_subset) NOT IN (
SELECT /*+ hash_aj full(ss) no_expand*/ hash_value, text_subset
FROM perfstat.stats$sql_summary ss
WHERE snap_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT snap_id FROM perfstat.stats$snapshot)
COMMIT;
Is there any way to know if the PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT table has records that could be purged, and an easier way, that don't use as much undo, to purge it?
My oracle version is:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.7.0 - Production
CORE 9.2.0.7.0 Production
TNS for Solaris: Version 9.2.0.7.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.7.0 - Production

Is there any way to know if the PERFSTAT.STATS$SQLTEXT table has records that could be purged, yes, just transform Delete to Select
SELECT /*+ index_ffs(st)*/ count(*)
FROM perfstat.stats$sqltext st
WHERE (hash_value, text_subset) NOT IN (
SELECT /*+ hash_aj full(ss) no_expand*/ hash_value, text_subset
FROM perfstat.stats$sql_summary ss
WHERE snap_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT snap_id FROM perfstat.stats$snapshot)
and an easier way, that don't use as much undo, to purge it?yes. do it smaller chunks
BEGIN
LOOP
DELETE /*+ index_ffs(st)*/
FROM perfstat.stats$sqltext st
WHERE (hash_value, text_subset) NOT IN (
SELECT /*+ hash_aj full(ss) no_expand*/ hash_value, text_subset
FROM perfstat.stats$sql_summary ss
WHERE snap_id NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT snap_id FROM perfstat.stats$snapshot)
) AND ROWNUM<=10000;
EXIT WHEN SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;

some times it is deleting and some times it is not deleting.. I have also tried ...deleteOnExit();

Make sure you've got no other processes holding onto it (Windows Explorer, for instance) and that you've closed any streams involved with the file. If that fails, try calling System.gc() just before deleting the file. This is a workaround for a bug in certain JVMs on Windows machines

TSQL code that causes table data to be deleted rather than fail with a compilation error

Afternoon,
I recently did this by accident and it felt as though it should have failed with a compilation error rather than run
A query of the form
delete from jobs
where id in
select id from calibrations
will delete all rows in the jobs table when the id column exists in the jobs table, but not the calibrations table. This should fail with a compilation error.
the following sql can be used to generate a test database to show the problem
USE [test]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[calibrations]    Script Date: 28/11/2014 13:32:59 ******/

will delete all rows in the jobs table when the id column exists in the jobs table,
but not the calibrations table. This should fail with a compilation error.
Hello Simon,
That's a bug in your T-SQL Statement, not in SQL Server. The Statement as it is valid and column "id" exists, so why should it fail on compilation?
And that is the reason why we always should use full qualified object name, e.g. like
delete from jobs AS J
where J.id in
select SUB.id from calibrations AS SUB
and this Statement should fail on compilation.

Why does lightroom 3.3 delete files it 'fails' to move? and why does it fail?

I'm in the process of moving a bunch of images around between machines, so from a remote machine I copied 10gb or so of .cr2, .jpg and .thm files into a temporary holding location on a local sata drive. I then started an import on the machine from the temporary holding location to the location I wanted the files at (which is a drive different than the temporary location). Lightroom trundled along for quite a while. Then reported to me that it had failed to move some files (The list was ALL the files).
I went to look at the temporary holding location on the boot drive and all the files were gone. I looked at the location I tried to import them to, and they were in fact there. HOWEVER they were not added to the catalog in lightroom!

Greetings..
I'm not sure what you mean by "force LR to import..."
It all depends on your work flow, and how you use LR, not any forcing. For example, I use keywords and collections. I organize my photos in the _folders_ by the method I mentioned. Then use collections to make up my groupings and sorted images. As for importing, every photograph taken has at least the date taken in it, and LR import options have a lot of different ways to use that date to import them. I selected one that works for me, and then just have to select the MajorProject as the toplevel folder on the import destination. LR creates all of the underlying folders.
I then use the Move option, and LR will move all of my images from the source directory into the destination. Note: This will not work from a portable drive, due to LR not being allowed to delete images from portable disks. You'd have to use Copy, and delete the originals after you've seen them in their new home.
Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you renamed your files, or was that a byproduct of how you did it? I try not to rename my images, if possible. I know that having multiple images with the same name causes some problems with a few export modules (I updated one, and had to recreate my export collection. It took the first file by that name it found, which, of course, turned out not to be the correct image).
The key here of course, is to keyword your images. I now have several ways to search for images; those taken by date, by project, and of course by keywords.
Cheers!

So I would expect to be able to delete the snapshot from myclone.
Maybe I misunderstand something about how this works or I have the wrong expectations.
I would expect a clone to be something like a copy that is independent of the volume being cloned.

The idea is that when you create a clone, it is lightweight and based on the snapshot. That's what makes it so fast. You're not copying every block in the filesystem. So the snapshot is what ties together the parent filesystem and the clone.
For the clone to be independent, you'd have to copy all the blocks. There's no option to do that within the clone process. So as long as both the parent filesystem and the clone filesystem are around, the snapshot has to exist as well.

Merging avhdx files with vhdx files while deleting snapshots

Hi,
We are running one virtual machine win 2012 std. Recently, we deleted the snapshot of this vm in hyper-v manager as the drive space was running out of space. After that, the merging process was running for the VM. Once, the merging was completed, the sql
database running inside got corrupted. Please explain what actually happens during this merging process and how can we recover our db.
Regards,
Anishk

You will need a backup to go back to a valid database.
Snapshots are not supported in Production and cause in few cases issues and behaviour like you are encoutering now.
You have to avoid using snapshots in production, snapshots are nice and they unction propely in 99% of the cases. You were not lucky. If you want to use snapshots with a VM for a reason (test update or a new configuration), backup your VM before.

PX12-400r - deleting snapshots

Trying to remove snapshots. It is taking forever and is taking up all the systme resources on the PX12-400r. How long should it take to remove a snapshot?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello amcgill0517
Deleting a Snapshot usually will not take very long. However there some situations that could cause delay the deletion or prevent it.
1. The unit is running at very high capacity, usually less that 10% remaining for the storage pool can slow the deletion.
2. Having the Snapshot mounted and/or being accessing while the deletion is in progress can delay and could prevent the Snapshot from being deleted. In some cases isolating the unit and direct connecting via ethernet may be needed to avoid this.

The After-Create resource action call to ssh works. The After-Delete resource action call to ssh fails with the following error:
com.waveset.util.WavesetException: Script failed waiting for "_,)#+
(:" in response "The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be

By the way, we are currently using Sun Identity Manager 7.0.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You've probably already fixed it...
Just log on in the console yourself, instead of IdM. After answering yes, key fingerprint will be added to the ~/.ssh/known_hosts, and IdM will be happy.
