Command line tips and tricks #2

Three totally different command line tips/tricks this time:

1. Dump a specific disk via the VCB Proxy monolithic(1 big chunk):
   Open a cmd and goto your VCB installation path
   “vcbexport.exe -M 1 -d test01.vmdk -s TestVM/TestVM.vmdk”
2. Any swapping going on or more info on memory usage in general:
   Open a putty sesion to your ESX box
   “watch -n 1 cat /proc/vmware/sched/mem”
3. Reinitialize the VirtualCenter Database:
   Stop the service
   Start vpxd.exe with the option “-b”
   CAUTION, this will wipe out the entire database, this is a last resort!
