修复ESXi的快照混乱问题

注意：本文最后更新于 2528 天前，有关的内容可能已经发生变化，请参考使用。

母系统为ESXi 3.5的服务器，上面有一台FreeBSD的客户机，不知因为什么原因上面的十一个快照紊乱了，记得以前强行删除所有快照的时候可能会遇到这个情况。明白问题状态之后第一时间将客户机关闭，打开ESXi的命令行控制台，相应的文件夹内有FreeBSD8.vmdk，FreeBSD8-0000xx.vmdk等文件，FreeBSD8.vmdk为镜像之前最基本的硬盘，FreeBSD8-0000xx.vmdk是每个快照之后的硬盘镜像。

这是在等PORTS更新和编译的事件中匆匆写的，有些混乱。

网上关于ESXi下虚拟硬盘损坏该怎么修复的相关文档比较少，幸好找到了一篇跟今天遇到的情况类似的文章，很勉强地将出问题的硬盘恢复到了第八个快照，9、10、11快照都挂掉了，大概过程如下：

首先大概看一下虚拟硬盘和快照的配置文件

    cat FreeBSD8.vmdk
    # Disk DescriptorFile
    version=1
    CID=ca6e491c
    parentCID=ffffffff
    createType="vmfs"
    # Extent description
    RW 52428800 VMFS "FreeBSD8-flat.vmdk"
     
    # The Disk Data Base
    #DDB
     
    ddb.toolsVersion = "0"
    ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
    ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
    ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
    ddb.geometry.cylinders = "3263"
    ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 97 58 8b 85 4b-0d 26 c1 0d 18 6f 30 99"
    ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"
    cat FreeBSD8.vmdk
    # Disk DescriptorFile
    version=1
    CID=ca6e491c
    parentCID=ffffffff
    createType="vmfs"
    
    # Extent description
    RW 52428800 VMFS "FreeBSD8-flat.vmdk"
    
    # The Disk Data Base
    #DDB
    
    ddb.toolsVersion = "0"
    ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"
    ddb.geometry.sectors = "63"
    ddb.geometry.heads = "255"
    ddb.geometry.cylinders = "3263"
    ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 97 58 8b 85 4b-0d 26 c1 0d 18 6f 30 99"
    ddb.virtualHWVersion = "4"

这是基本的硬盘，没有什么问题，可以挂上到虚拟机中直接运行，但是硬盘里面的内容都是相当老的(就是第一次做快照之前的)

    Destination disk format: VMFS thick
    Failed to open 'FreeBSD8-000011.vmdk': The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created (18).

如果不将所有的依赖修复正确的话就会出现上面的错误提示：The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created (18).

简单的看了一下所有快照镜像的配置文件发现：1-11个快照镜像中间缺了三个依赖，FreeBSD8-000001.vmdk的父盘CID错误。考虑到要最大恢复到最近的磁盘数据于是打算先将FreeBSD8-000001.vmdk的父盘CID更正，再用vmkfstools将快照镜像和虚拟原盘合并拷贝成一个新磁盘。

无奈最新的一个快照镜像在5%的时候就挂掉了，报错2311，超过了文件的大小，想了不少办法并做了很多尝试无效之后偶然发现了这个帖子，虽然情况类似但是稍微靠谱一点的回答只有最后那一个


    For me, the problem was that the block count for the drive (RW number in .vmdk file) didn't match the actual size of the -flat.vmdk file.
    Power off the Virtual Machine.
    In Service Console, do ls -l to see the size of the machinename+-flat.vmdk+ file. Divide the value by 512. The result should be the RW number which goes into machinename+.vmdk+ file. Don't change the geometry parameters in the .vmdk file !!
    Try vmkfstools -i now, should besuccessfull now.
    Do necessary changes you want in the Properties of the Virtual Machine (or edit .vmx file directly)
    Power on the Virtual Machine

但是经排查不是因为错误的大小导致的，所以只能放弃使用老一版本的快照。

使用第十个快照镜像恢复的时候出现了如上的Input/output error (327689).错误，这是很明显的I/O错误，估计要恢复的可能性不大，而且即使可行过程也会相对麻烦，于是只能忍痛到更老的版本……

/vmfs/volumes/4c4b73b2-7bd2fabc-31ce-00188b48fd66/FreeBSD8 # vmkfstools -i FreeB SD8.vmdk recover/newsysdisk.vmdk

同样的IO错误直到第8个才成功还原一个完成的虚拟硬盘，挂上系统之后发现硬盘上的内容是一个月前的，还好其他的重要数据磁盘和日志磁盘使用的是独立模式，不依赖于快照的虚拟磁盘，这次被ESXi的快照功能伤的很深……

不推荐使用ESXi的快照功能:
一是带快照的ESXi客户机系统会严重的降低性能(主要原因是原来是定长的虚拟硬盘文件变为了动长);
二是莫名其妙容易出现快照紊乱，尤其是十几个快照之后稍微有维护者出错的话后果不堪设想。

PS：进入ESXi的命令行的方法,按Alt-F1（切换控制台）、输入“unsupported”（无回显内容），然后点回车键，就可以激活本地控制台提示符。之后再需要输入root密码，接着就可以进入ESXi主机的本地控制台界面

「倘若有所帮助，不妨酌情赞赏!」
