If we use the WMI CreateSnapshot() of "Msvm_VirtualSystemSnapshotService" class, does it make it an application-consistent snapshot ?
==> Suppose if vm contains the MSSQL/exchange. On using this function to create snapshot, does the application inside VM is consistent ?
Thanks in advance.

The class is supported only with server 2016. This contains a parameter where application-consistent can be passed on.

I am trying to create a datashare in Redshift by following this documentation. When I type this command:
CREATE DATASHARE datashare_name
I get this message:
ERROR: CREATE DATASHARE is not enabled.
I also tried to make it using console, but same issue.
So how to enable data sharing in Redshift ?
From the documents:here
Data sharing via datashare is only available for ra3 instance types
The document lists ra3.16xlarge, ra3.4xlarge, and ra3.xlplus instance types for producer and consumer clusters.
So, if I were in your place - I would first go back and check my instance type. If still not sure, drop a simple CS ticket and ask them if anything has changed recently & documentation is not updated
I need some help with my DB2 instance on Cloud. I need execute a command for change system property, for example I need change the configuration STRING_UNITS to CODEUNITS32, but I cant do it using IBM DATA SERVER DRIVER( IBM console). I will to thank some help. Thank you very much.
string_units is configurable on-line
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.config.doc/doc/r0060936.html
so if you have SYSADM, SYSCTRL or SYSMAINT authority on the instance you could run
call admin_cmd('UPDATE DB CFG USING STRING_UNITS CODEUNITS32 IMMEDIATE')
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.rtn.doc/doc/r0023593.html
The change will only take effect on new connections, existing connections would need to re-connect to pick up the new default.
If you don't have one of those authorities, then you can change the NLS_STRING_UNITS global variable at a session level https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_11.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.sql.ref.doc/doc/r0060917.html
I am trying to create a cloudsql instance with the following command:
gcloud beta sql instances create sql-instance-1 --tier=db-f1-micro --region=asia-south1 --network=default --storage-type=HDD --storage-size=10GB --authorized-networks=XX.XXX.XX.XX/XX
The instance sql-instance-1 is something I need not running all the time. So I create an sqldump file and when I need the database I create it. When I run this command it fails with the following error
ERROR: (gcloud.beta.sql.instances.create) Resource in project [my-project-id] is the subject of a conflict: The instance or operation is not in an appropriate state to handle the request.
From what I understand the gcloud is complaining that instance name was used before although the instance is already deleted. When I change the name to a new unused name the command works fine. The problem with this is I need to give a new name every time I re-create the instance from the dump.
My questions are:
Is this expected behavior i.e. should name of cloud-sql instance be unique and not used before within a project.
I also found that --network option is not recognized with gcloud. Seems to work only with gcloud beta as explained here. When is this expected to become GA?
This is indeed expected behaviour. From the documentation:
You cannot reuse an instance name for up to a week after you have
deleted an instance.
Regarding the --network flag and it's schedule for GA, there is no ETA for its release outside of beta. However, it's release will be listed in the Google Cloud SDK Release Notes, which you can get updates from by subscribing to the google-cloud-sdk-announce group
I have a task of implementing a basic backup and recovery system within a django app. I have heard of pyvmomi, but never used it before.
My specific tasks at hand is:
1) make a call to a vCenter, pass the vm name, and request to make a snapshot
2) obtain the file location of the snapshot
3) and upload the snapshot file into an OpenStack Swift object store
What is the actual syntax of creating a vm snapshot using pyvmomi?
Also - what is the syntax to request the actual snapshot file from vCenter?
https://github.com/rreubenur/vmware-pyvmomi-examples/blob/master/create_and_remove_snapshot.py
This should be helpful
Snapshot task result itself contains Moref to snashot created
So that you can get reference to created snapshot.
I am completely new to Amazon Web Services, however, I did get an account and I am able to browse our list of servers. I am trying to create a database backup programmatically using .NET. I have installed AWS for .NET and I have built and run the sample Empty console program.
I can see that I can create an instance of the RDS service with the following line:
AmazonRDS rds = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonRDSClient(RegionEndPoint.USEast1);
However, I notice that the rds.CreateDBSnapshot(); needs a request object but I don't see anything like CreateDBSnapshotRequest in the reference .dll, can anyone help with a working example?
Like you said CreateDBSnapshotRequest is the parameter you have to pass to this function.
CreateDBSnapshotRequest is defined in the Amazon.RDS.Model namespace within the AWSSDK.dll assembly (version 1.5.25.0)
Within CreateDBSnapshotRequest you must pass the the DB Instance Identifier (for example mydbinstance-1), that you defined when you invoked the CreateDBInstance (or one of it's related methods) and the identifier for the snapshot you wish to generate (example: my-snapshot-id) for this DB Instance.
edit / example
Well there are a couple ways to achieve this, here's one example - hope it clears up your doubts
using Amazon.RDS;
using Amazon.RDS.Model;
...
...
//gets the credentials from the default configuration
AmazonRDS rdsClient = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonRDSClient();
CreateDBSnapshotRequest dbSnapshotRequest = new CreateDBSnapshotRequest();
dbSnapshotRequest.DBInstanceIdentifier = "my-oracle-instance";
dbSnapshotRequest.DBSnapshotIdentifier = "daily-snapshot";
rdsClient.CreateDBSnapshot(dbSnapshotRequest);
Dont't forget that the DB Instance (in the example my-oracle-instance) must exist (duh :) and must be in the available state, like this:
