Hi guys
I have a Vm stored in a datastore, as usual.
vSphere: 5.1, cluster with 7 hosts.
VM: VM-78-SGS_TEST
Datastore: VMFS-LUN-078-SGS_PROD_COPIA
I want to recreate swap file in another datastore. So, i read this article:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100408...
Ok, i shutdown the VM and i modify the vmx definition file:
After:
sched.swap.derivedName = "/vmfs/volumes/50783d76-dfba7000-90e7-14feb58930de/VM-78-SGS_TEST/VM-78-SGS_TEST-49bc801c.vswp"
Before:
sched.swap.dir = "/vmfs/volumes/VMFS-LUN-MEMORIA/VM-78-SGS_TEST"
when VMFS-LUN-MEMORIA is a special datastore for storing swap files.
And save vmx file.
Next step, i remove VM from inventory.
Next step, i add VM to inventory from vmx definition file browse datastore, select vmx file, add to inventory).
The VM is still poweroff. The main datastore don't have a swap file (vswp).
Next step, i start VM.
Tne VM is started. The special swap datastore named VMFS-LUN-MEMORIA have a vswp file but THE MAIN DATASTORE HAVE A VSWP FILE TOO!!!.
The vswp datastore swap file is named VM-78-SGS_TEST-49bc801c.vswp, size 4GB (RAM VM size).
The vswp main datastore swap file is named vmx-VM-78-SGS_TEST-1237090332-1.vswp, size 108MB.
What kind of swap file is vmx-VM-78-SGS_TEST-1237090332-1.vswp?
Thanks.
