Download virtual disk image from VM Manager

Hi,
I want to make a back up of my virtual pc.
How can I download the virtual disk image that I see in vm manager?
Thanks.

I agree with you 100 percent. I don't why on the world they keep revising distributions and requiring manual upgrades to get certain "bug" fixes. I hope they change this soon. Just seems so silly to me. I've been stable on 3.1.1 for months. I hate to even think of actually upgrading given this. I was lucky in that I stated testing with 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 came out during my testing. I would have hated to try to upgrade from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1 in a production environment.
I just ran a clean upgrade of the VM manager from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 build 520 using MySQL. It went smooth. I do believe the "readme" details a bug fix associated with upgrading from 3.1.1 to 3.2.1.
Do a rescan physical disks from your VM server itself. Some people have had problems with servers rebooting doing this when there is I/O taking place on the server. Might want live migrate your guests before doing this. Rebooting should have cleared it once the Server synced with the VM Manager but the rescan from the VM Manager might get the server and the manager in sync.

What release level of code do you get when you download a disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product?

I’ve asked a similar question to this on an Office Community Forum but nobody knows the answer. So
I was hoping that an IT professional responsible for installing and deploying Office 2013 might know.
If you download an installation disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product from office.microsoft.com/myaccount (Account Options:
Install from a disc > I want to burn a disc), what release level of code do you get?
Now that Service Pack 1 is available, do you get a disk image with Service Pack 1 incorporated?
Or do you still get the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) level of code?

Diane, thank you for the reply.
I was hoping that someone who has downloaded a disk image since SP1 became available would be able to confirm that for a fact.
I have just found a good description of Click-to-Run on Technet that I didn't know existed. The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427(v=office.15)
The article states:
"Click-to-Run products that you download and install from Microsoft are up-to-date from the start. You won’t have to download and apply any updates or service packs immediately after you install the Office product."
This statement is probably true if you click the Install button on office.microsoft.com/myaccount and install "in real-time" over the Internet. However, I know for a fact that it is not true if you order a backup disk (Account
Options: Install from a disc > I want to purchase a disc). All you get is RTM level code (15.0.4420.1017).
So I still feel uneasy about what release level you get if you download a disk image. I don't want to download what might be the better part of 1GB of code over the Internet only to discover it is back level.
Addendum (6 April 2014): I decided to perform an experiment. I looked at the size of the data on my backup disk which contains RTM level code. It is 2.04GB. I then went to office.microsoft.com/myaccount and clicked to download a disk
image of my Office 2013 product. The pop-up window that asks me whether I want to Run or Save the file informed me that the size of the file is 2.04GB!!! I cancelled the download. I strongly suspect that, if I had continued with the
download, I would have received the same RTM level code I already have dating back to October 2012. I think this is awful customer service. To some extent, I can understand the logistical problems of replacing backup disks lying in warehouses
waiting to be shipped. But I cannot understand why disk images on download servers cannot be refreshed quickly.

"Disk Image from Folder" from iPod

Using Disk Utility, I have tried to create a disk image of my iPod using the "Disk Image from Folder" option.
These are the settings I am using:
Location of Image: Desktop
Format: read/write
It asks for my password, and then it briefly is in the "Initializing..." phase (less than a second), and then it gives me the error 'Unable to create "MATTSH_IPOD" - internal error.'
What should I do? I tried creating an image from another folder, it works fine.
I can't create an image by device, because I won't have enough free space...
Keep in mind I am running a new MacBook Pro (yay). Also note that the iPod is formatted in FAT32.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advanced for any help.

Hi Matthew,
I don't own an iPod, but here's what I'd try:
Quit Disk Utility.
First, download and install TinkerTool.
Then in TinkerTool's Applications section, choose "Enable extended options when converting disk images".
I don't know if you need to logout/login at this point.
Now open Disk Utility and try the "iPod image" format.
Let us know if it works for you.

Creating a Disk Image from Compressor Fails

Hpefully some one can help me out here.
Here's whats going on and I've tried this on 2 different systems (iMac 24 inch OSX 10.9.4,Nvidia GeForce GT750M 1 GB, 3.1 Ghz i7 Processor 1 TB Fusion Drive, 16 gigs of ram & a iMac 27 Inch OSX 10.9.4 Nvidia GeForce GTX780M 4GB, 2.5 Quad-Core i7, 16 gigs of ram 1 TB Fusion Drive, both have the USB Super Drive from Apple connected to them)
Both are running Compressor 4.1.2. I'm trying to make a disk image from a Apple Pro Res 422 HQ Quicktime 29.97 DF (drop frame, NTSC) The file is big since it's HQ so it takes a while to compress. I'm using the Create DVD preset in compressor and choosing " When Done: Create DVD" then below that "Output Device: Hard Drive" Because I want to have a disk image for back up and future burning so I don't have to tie up any systems doing this again.
It get's the the very end where it has that disk burning icon come up on the dock and then a warning comes up saying that there was a "error making the disk" and then that's it. I want to be able to create a disk image. Old compressor (3.what ever) works great, takes a lot longer to compress things but at least I haven't run into this issue with it.
I've had my destination set to the internal drive's, external drives .... you name it I've tried to save it in different places. I've added a background picture, removed it, nothing seems to work ....
Please help and much appreciated if you can help me out here.
Cheers

Yes it is. This should help you.

Disk Utility 'Disk Image from Folder' looses file create date?

Hi,
I have been working on creating backups that maintain the files' create dates. I have found the following anomoly using Disk Utility.
If I create a Disk Image From Folder, the create dates of all files are changed to be the same as the last modify dates. Not what I want.
If I creat a Blank Disk Image, and then using Finder to copy the files to the Disk Image, the create dates remain unchanged.
I can then burn the backup CD's with the Disk Image and the files' create dates are maintained. So, future restore from the backup CD will contain the original files' create dates.
Does anyone know if Disk Utility's Create Disk Image from Folder is supposed to loose the files' create dates? What other file attributes are being lost? Mac OS X maintains all of these attributes, and create dates via Finder copies, I would expect the Disk Utility Create Disk Image from Folder to do the same.

To follow up on this post, I know at least part of the answer. The difference between the two becomes clearer if you read the documentation (man pages) for hdiutil and asr. Image 1 will be created in file mode, whereas image 2 will be in block mode, ie bypassing the file system. Image 1 will consist of a series of files, whereas image 2 will contain a series of blocks, mirroring the original layout of the hard disk.
Technically the latter should be faster to restore (in block mode), although Apple recommend the first procedure (see man page for hdiutil). I haven't seen any evidence that images created in block mode can be mounted or restored, although you might be able to burn such images to a optical disks if applicable.
As I've pointed out in another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1508199&tstart=0) I believe that this functionality should not be offered in disk utility, and I consider it a serious bug.

Can't eject disk image from Finder in Mountain Lion

I just got a new MacBook pro. I'm running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Any time I try to unmount an external hard drive or eject a disk image from the Finder, nothing happens (either clicking the contextual eject icon or right-clicking). The items in question are not in use when I try to eject them. I'm only able to do so with Disk Utility. Any ideas? I've repaired disk permissions but the problem persists.

I am having similar issues with my user account. It also is the same in Yosemite.
Disc images, external hard drives etc dragged to trash (get eject icon) are simply ignored.
Pressing Eject button in side bar of Finder are ignored.
It seems to be a permission/account issue as:
- using computer under a different account doesnt have this problem
- transferring account over to another mac continues the problem on the new computer.
Log file seems not to have any errors.

Why suddenly unable to create a disk image from a CD?

I successfully created a disk image from a CD only 5 days ago. Now when I try to create a disk image from a CD (with Disk Utility) the Superdrive rumbles along for sveral minutes, while the progress bar indicates that it has reached the end of its progress.
Only after all that does a dialog box indicate:
"Unable to create "___.dmg"-Invalid Argument. "
I haven't added software but did upgrade to iTunes 6. Doubtful that could affect my abilty to create a disk image.
Would someone kindly shed some light on why this may be happening?
Steve

Is it strange that this problem seems CD-specific?
Some CDs are copy-protected and some CDs are not copy-protected; so, no, it's not strange at all that you should be able to copy some CDs and not be able to copy others.

Creating floppy disk images (from Disk Utility) recognized by Parallels

Hi there,
After making the Parallels plunge last week, and installing a couple of my old OS's in it, I unearthed my old MS-DOS 6.22 disks. (remember that, boys and girls?)
With the help of my brother, I managed to export the contents onto a USB flash drive in the hopes of creating the necessary .fdd files that Parallels uses to create a virtual DOS machine.
(FYI - I already have DOSBox installed... but now with Parallels, I was looking to install the real deal)
Normally, renaming a .dmg file (created through Disk Utility) to a .fdd should force Mac OS to associate the image with Parallels, and thus allowing it to be recognized as a valid floppy image.
Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case for me. Parallels cannot recognize the disk images created as floppy drive images. Even after formatting the volume as both MS-DOS and MS-DOS (FAT 16), nothing seems to work.
I've already checked the Parallels forums, but couldn't drudge up anything. I was hoping one of the Level 3+'s here had some experience with this.
Am I missing something in the Disk Utility .dmg creation process of these files, or would I need a separate application to create a valid .img/.ima file to get this to work?
Thanks!
Steve

I am also having this issue. If I figure it out I'll post my solution. If anybody has had success it would be very helpful to know how they made proper images.

Oracle VM Migrating virtual disk images to physical disks (block devices)

Hi,
For performance reasons, I'd like to migrate my .img file based virtual disks into physical partitions for VM's.
What is the safest possible way to migrate all partitions (including / partition) from a virtual disk to a block device?
Thanks,
Onur

Your VMs need to be offline while you do this. Once you've done this, you can use Oracle VM Manager to remove the original .img file and replace it with the physical block device copy. This is low-risk, as the .img file will still be there if the new block device doesn't work.
Keep in mind that you will need a unique block device for every .img file you have.

Unable to exclude VMware disk image from Time Machine backup

In Time Machine Preferences, I elected to exclude home\Documents\Virtual Machines folder in my home directory. Whether I use the "+" button to add the exclusion or dragged it in from Finder, the exclusion list only shows [Virtual Machine]. Coming from a Windows world, I am concerned that I don't see the fully qualified path for the "Virtual Machine" folder name. Even the folder property doesn't show the full path information. Since I do not exclude Documents folder, it is included in all Time Machines backup. Unfortunately, so is my home\Documents\Virtual Machines folder.
Question #1: What am I missing?
This question is related to this next issue.
Question #2: If I have a folder called "Users Guide" in addition to the built-in "Documents folder in my home directory, and they each contain the sub-directory "Preliminary", how do I tell Time Machine I want to exclude the folder \User Guide\Preliminary from TM backup?

Thanks for the tip. Hovering does show the path. Now the mystery is a little worst than before, and I'm back to trying figure out how to exclude the home\Documents\Virtual Machines folder (where he VM disk images are stored) from Time Machine backups while it's allowed to backup home\Documents (as intended).
When I get back home tonight, I'm going to try excluding some other sub-folders (which I created) of [Documents] from Time Machine while I allow [Documents] to be backed up. I'll post the results, and hopefully can ask a smarter questions.

Disk images from CDs are always damaged

I'm not sure when this first cropped up, but it's been happening for a while now. Every disk image I make from a CD, seemingly no matter what disk it is, gets flagged as possibly being damaged from the very first time I attempt to mount it. I've tried several different disk types, all result in the exact same thing.
The images appear to be effectively identical, with files and even icon-location exactly the same, but they still flag the error. The only thing that I think changed when it started is that I have an old copy of Toast (I think 7), and whenever I make a disk image there's a line saying that it's reading Toast 4.1 HFS Optimizer. Could that be related, and if so, how can I get rid of it?

Most of us make CDs and DVDs from disk images.
Yeah, true. But where do you think those disk images come from in the first place?
As to the other two, I'm trying to make duplicates of many kinds of CDs. Games, videos, school (class-related) disks, etc, because carting around a dozen disks to make it through my day is just asking for some of them to snap or get huge scratches.
I'm attempting to make disk images through the Disk Utility.app, and that's been the source of the problems.

Disk Images from DVD-R

Today my attempt to make an image from a home-made (& finalized) DVD-R failed with an "input/output error", which was presented when Disk Utility had finished reading the DVD-R into memory. (The DVD does also play fine on this G5.)
I was surprised, as I've done this just once before with success.
Is it possible that this is in fact due to the recording mode originally used to make the DVD-R? I'm not sure whether I used SP (2-hour) or LP (4-hr) for the one that worked, but I do know that I had used LP for the DVD that I've tried to make an image from tomight. I don't really want to have to sit through all the tapes to make the 4 hours again onto two new 2-hr DVDs
Hopefully someone will know if this is the problem, in which case I shall resign myself to the task, but if there's any chance something else is at fault - well, I look forward to your advice!
Many thanks,
Blackie

Yes, I did finalize it in the Panasonic, thanks, Ron. However, I note that I did have some difficulty - it failed the first time, but was successful the second time.
When attempting to "create image", initially I left the format selection on whatever it defaulted to. I then tried again with read/write.
I've just tried "replicating" your
issue (using a disc recorded from television on our
own Panasonic "standalone" in "LP" mode).
Brilliant, thanks - at least that clears that part of my question up
Any possibility that the disc you were trying to
copy from is slightly dirty or damaged? You might
want to simply repeat the attempt after giving the
disc a gentle clean.
Ah, now this sounds worth following up, especially given my comment at the start... So, I shan't try using DVD master, but I shall try cleaning and having another go with the default setting.
As I understand it, my Toast Lite won't do DVD-Video, and I've not yet had a need for DVDxDV though I have heard many good things about it, for when I find I do have the need So in the short term, if I can get the process to work via Disk Utility for this one DVD, I'll stick with that
So, I have something to try before I mark my question as solved, but I think we are probably getting there!
A thousand thanks,
Blackie

Viewing images from file manager in C5-00.

When I open an image in file manager it does not open. An image viewer opens but does not display the image. Then I've to restart the phone to get rid of image viewer from open apps. Does anyone has the same problem? Any solutions? Firmware version: 071.005

Does any image cause this (including camera pictures), or just some? Do the images display normally in Gallery? What about images stored on the phone (temporarily change the camera's memory setting and snap a photo) vs. on the memory card? For this test, you may want to temporarily remove the memory card.
I am hoping you'll find that images stored on the phone display everywhere 100% normally, which would mean some corruption on the card. If so, back up any important card data, connect the phone to a computer with USB and Mass Storage mode (or use a separate card reader), and check the card for errors in the same way you would check the hard drive. If the computer can find and fix the problems, then hopefully the issues are solved. If not, you may need to reformat the card (as FAT32). Worst case scenario is that the card could be going bad. I hope that helps!

Download of multiple documents from Solution Manager

Is there a way to download multiple documents from Solution Manager SOLAR01 project documentation tabs from multiple nodes rather than going one by one?

Hi,
At the application there is no such functionality but I belive if you try to download it directly from knowledge warehouse, you'll be able. You'll just need to pay attention to which folder is stored the documents. For this check the wiki page for documents in solar01 and solar02.

HT3787 If you accidentally eject that local file (plain white disk image) from another user, can you get it back?

If you accidentally eject local file from mobile me from another user, how can you get it back? Or is it stored somewhere else????
My website was saved on there. And I need it!!
I didn't realize that was the idisk since mobileme has been gone for so long.

That's what I was hoping. I use Time Machine to back up the entire computer. But I'm assuming it was a disk image, and that wouldn't be saved on the backup? Or where could I find it?
