Snapshot functionality

Are there any plans to add a "snapshot" capability to OVM that is functionally similar to vmware snapshots?

Hi Randy,
I very well know, what snapshots do in general, but I was curious, what additional features VMWare would offer, above the hot-clones that are possible with OVM. If you want to have a fully sanitzed VM snapshot with any xen guest, my guess is that the following would have to happen:
. suspend the VM and save the memory contens and perform a "regular" snapshot on all of it's vdisks
- release the VM again and perform the actions you want
In case, you wanted to go back, the guests would have to be stopped/suspended and the vdisk would have to be rolled back and ther saves memory snapshot would have to restored as well before the guest gets released again.
This is of course one more step than having a hot-clone which only deals with the vdisks. I had thought of writing a script for that, but I am seldom in the need of a real VM snapshot. Mostly I am fine with hot-clones.
Cheers,
budy

  • Snapshot function doesn't works in APEX 9.3.2, if the Aero Design is turned on

    Hello,
    the Snapshot function doesn't works in APEX 9.3.2, if the Aero Design is turned on. Once you click on tools > Snapshot > raster, the window where the displayed 3D model will be white.
    The same happens when  you click on the taskbar.
    There one other option than to turn off the Aero Design?

  • Can't disable "take a snapshot" function in Reader X

    Hi
    I know this might be a trivial question but I can't disable "take a snapshot" function. In previous versions I could change it to scroll screen by hand or smth like that. Here, once I tick it on in edit menu, I can't disable it and change back to normal state. This is not convinient because whenever I click somewhere, all page is copied to clipboard...
    Im just wondering why Adobe Reader programist don't make such tools idiot resistable. Here is my example :-)
    Thaks and regards
    Paul

    Who is the moron that decided <ESC> was better than just clicking another select tool or just cliking snapshot again, then decided not to tell anyone?????   I wasted 45 minutes of my life looking for this answer.  Thanks Bernd or I would have wasted more of my life. 
    REMEMBER when Acrabat was user friendly??????

  • Anyway to disable "take snapshot" function remotely?

    If anyone has any pointers to third party apps that might do this trick, I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise, I think this is a function that some programmer might seek to fill, because I think there is use for it.
    Don't ask me why, but I want to make it impossible for the party that I am video chatting with to take a video snapshot of my image. Is there any utility out there that will force a blank screen capture or something?

    Hi James.
    I was not aware that the Snapshot option worked on Incoming chats !!
    I see. So you can !! (I Tested on appleu3test01 if people are worried)
    Well even I have learned something.
    I don't think that is going to be possible. I suggest http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html.
    If you are on 10.4.5 and ICaht 3.1.1 you will have to enter it in the text as the boxes are not up to date yet.
    Opening such a route would open iChat up to acts of malice.
    There are ways of sending Pics or other Video feed instead

  • Sticky snapshot function in Reader XI

    I found (after a looong search) the snapshot button and took the snapshot.
    Now how do I get the hand tool back? Right mouseclick only displays (de)select all and print...

    Or... Go to the second from the bottom item in that menu and click "Show all Select & Zoom Tools" to place them all in your toolbar...

  • Can I save data in a snapshot from signal express 2013 LE?

    Can I save data (in txt or excel format) from a snapshot from signal express 2013 LE?  My data buffer is too larege to export to excel.  When I try to take a snapshot, I do not see any data.  Are snapshots supported in the LE mode?  This is the free version that comes with the USB 6009 ADC.

    Yes, the snapshot function is available for SignalExpress 2013 LE. Does the snapshot function as intended when you try other projects?

  • Snapshots... How do they work precisely?

    In RawShooter we have this one-click snapshot feature. We can make several of these on the fly, delete them, select between them in lightning speed, but lightning speed and easy interface does not surprise, its RawShooter after all, the best of the best of the best ever written.
    Now in RawShooter we have in "D" module this "Snapshot" function, which allows to make named snapshots of the image. However, I still failed to discover how in blazes does it work? I made some edits, made a snapshot, made another and in the 2nd snapshot I clicked on "reset" to have now one edited and one unedited version of the image. My impression is, that "reset" resets all snapshots to unedited version.
    Do I do something wrong?

    Oh my god! It is getting more and more complex by the minute!
    Thanks for all the hints, seriously, I will look at the virtual copies and of course, and the using history is indeed a possibility, however very convoluted and error prone because similar entries might belong to edits on different snapshots.
    If the RESET button is so destructive, I would like to remove it from my GUI.
    Lack of (say) crop memory in RSP snapshots is a valid point, but it does not change anything on the fact that RSP provided us with excellent way of making them and selecting them. A RawShooter v1.1 might have had a separate crop added to each snapshot, there.
    I also observe that the raw conversion on RSP provides more detail than the Lightroom. Amazing, this is the essential part isn't it?
    Well deserved sarcasm on Adobe on:
    I will now go make that 2nd PhD, it will maybe help me to grasp the arcane complexity and convoluted maze of options in this baroque GUI... And I wanted make.... photography, you know, see the light, point at your subject, press the button, enjoy the result, or be horrified by it. Currently I am just lightrooming, cameras be damned.

  • Macbook Pro not saving local time machine snapshots

    Hi,
    First time using the Apple forums here but I can't seem to find a definate answer for my question.
    I purchased a new Macbook Pro last week that came with Lion preinstalled. I noticed it was taking local time machine snapshots. In Time Machine it said Local snapshots, then backups each day etc etc....
    Now it does not say local snapshots and they are not in my time machine timeline.
    The only thing I have changed is my backup drive for Time Machine (3TB drive 600GB used now) so I do not know why my local snapshot function has vanished.
    I know Lion is very new but has anybody seen this or has some advice for getting it back on again?
    Thanks

  • Snapshot in Discoverer

    Hi,
    I have two Dimensions in the fact, these are Dim_Quarter and Dim_Region. Dim_Quarter has two levels i.e. Year and Quarter with Hierarchy Year --> Quarter, and Dim_Region follows the Hierarchy Region --> State -> District.
    Now I want the Snapshot functionality for measures when we Roll Up from Quarter to Year i.e when we roll up from Quarter to Year, i need to display the value of Quarter four(Q4) against the measure not the aggregated value as done by default in discoverer.
    Can anyone please tell me how to proceed on this.
    Any Help is appreciable.
    Thanks and Regards
    Mukesh Harjai.

  • Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?

    Could you help with this?
    Does SAP use SQL server's snapshot and transactional replication?
    Thanks!

    Hi Christy,
    no, SAP does not directly leverage these functions.
    But none the less, it is up to you to use these on your system. I regulary use the snapshot functionality when applying Support Packages. In case somehing goes wrong a snapshot is the easiest way to roll back the import process (not exactly the best choice when talking about production and users keep on working while importing).
    Have a look at this [document |http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/9/4/d948f981-926e-40fa-a026-5bfcf076d9b9/SAP_SQL2005_Best Practices.doc]. It deals with Best Practices and also covers snapshot, replication and mirroring.

  • AE cs5 snapshot not working on Mavericks

    Im running AE cs5 on a mac and since upgrading to Mavericks the snapshot function in after effects does not work.
    After taking a snapshot, it does not display when you click and hold on 'Show snapshot' button.
    My specs:
    OSX 10.9.4
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
    Any help, would be great!

    Mac OSX 10.9 is not on the list of supported operating systems for CS5:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/system-requirements.html#main_After_Effects_CS5_syste m_requirements
    I would be unsurprised to find that's not the only issue with Mavericks and such an old version of After Effects.
    On the off chance that this fixes it, try this: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications
    Permissions are often messed up when upgrading Mac OSX (this was especially a problem with 10.9 and 10.10).

  • How to use coherence snapshot feature

    Hi,
    Refer - http://wiki.tangosol.com/display/COH33UG/Overview+for+Implementors
    If long-term persistence of data is required, Coherence provides snapshot functionality to persist an image to disk. This is especially useful when the external data sources used to build the cache are extremely expensive. By using the snapshot, the cache can be rebuilt from an image file (rather than reloading from a very slow external datasource).
    I want to take snapshot of my cache and persits in file system , and I need a feature to rebuilt the cache from the image.
    Can someone provide me a details documents on cache snapshot.
    Regards

    I raised this with Oracle support and was told that they are planning to remove this from the documentation as this feature is not recommended to implement.
    So I guess we will need to do something ourselves.
    What I'm interested in is to be able to dump a node's data to disc before a shutdown so that we can do a full shutdown of the cluster and start it backup, load back in the snapshot dump and we are back to where we were. I was thinking this action could be triggered just before a release that requires a shutdown, perhaps via the invocation service.

  • Regular snapshots of project information for trend analysis

    Hi folks,
    I am working with a client who wants to take regular (monthly) snapshots of Project Server data, specifically project status, estimated, actuals, resource allocations etc. I note that 2007 and 2010 doesn't have anything OOTB besides BL functionality, does
    Project Server 2013 offer anything new in this area?
    Example: we want to match SAP actuals with Project Server current/estimates and record monthly snapshots of this information so we can do trend analysis. Is it possible in Project Server 2013 OOTB to take monthly snapshots beyond BL 10+1 ?
    Thanks,
    Gavin.

    Hi Gavin,
    As Guillaume and Sachin have correctly stated, there is no monthly snapshotting functionality OOTB. The easiest solution is to do this via SQL. I blogged about a simple example a few years back, see below:
    http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/projectserver-data-snapshot-for-reporting-ps2010-msproject-sp2010-excel-ssrs-sql/
    That should give you an idea.

  • FSCM Documented Credit Decision SnapShot - how to remove the Snap Shot linked object

    Within the Documented Credit Decision linked objects there is the SnapShots for credit decisions section. I'm trying to remove this folder from the linked objects area. Also the linked objects folder titles are in German unlike all other areas of the case which are in English. Does anyone know where I need to make the adjustments to correct the language and remove the SnapShots from being displayed? Your insight is greatly appreciated.

    Hello John,
    1. T-Code : SCASE --> Select the second node "Records and case Record Models" you then get a drop sown -->  for the Modelet in the case record in SAP Credit Management  --> right click and choose find --> a new window opens --> direct execute (F8) --> Select DCD case Record --> on the right hand side you would be able to see 4 folders -->  the second fodler is snapshot nod deactivate that. node and i think then you should be able to see SNAPSHOT  in Object when i a normal DCD is created in linked Objects.
    Also we have one more option that is the badi which is used for SNAPSHOTS.
    You need to activate that badi in case if you do not want to use the SNAPSHOT functionality.
    I repeat you need to activate the badi if you do not want to use the SANPSHOT fucntion .
    SPRO--> Financial Supply Chain Management -->Credit Management --> Credit Risk Monitoring --> Documented Credit Decision --> Enhancements --> you would be able to see the 3 badi's  you need to activate the second one.
    Regards
    Sai
