12, WinPE 10 workstation: storage cmdlets work for non-virtual IDE, SCSI virtual

I use Workstation 12 Pro to develop a code 10 WinPE for OS deployment/upgrades in service.   2 years without any problems, I have built several iterations.


Some new hardware platforms must be built as VMware images using SCSI, instead of IDE virtual disks, as it has always been used previously.

The VM with SCSI disks images works very well on XP Pro and POSReady 2009; However, when I boot to WinPE storage PowerShell cmdlets do not see the virtual SCSI disk, partitions, volumes, etc.   I was initially using WinPE 5.x with PowerShell 4.  I've recently updated to 10 WinPE and PowerShell 5, but still no joy.   On the two WinPE 5.x and WinPE 10, the only storage Cmdlet that works is Get-physical disk.

In WinPE, diskpart and dos commands work fine with SCSI disks.  In PowerShell, the "Get-WmiObject Win32_DiskDrive" and "Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk" commands also work, but not the Cmdlets Get-disk storage, Get-Partition, Get-Volume, which all return a null output report.

Any ideas or suggestions for debugging?

Thanks in advance,

Hello

Thank you very much for the detailed information!

I just tried your procedure using a VHD disk image. (P.s. "My physical machine can start on this VHD file, is not a broken image.)

V2V converter can convert a VMDK image. Then, I created a computer virtual personalized by selecting this image VMDK file. But when I tried to convert it into a new virtual de VMware vCenter Converter Standalone machine, I got this error: "FAILED: could not find the system volume, reconfiguration is not possible.

Conversion to a system of physical hard disk to a virtual machine of closing is not officially supported by VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. P2V guide (physical disks or Partitions in Vmware vmdk (P2V) conversion ".ultrageek.") you provide has a few involved third-party tools. It is difficult to say what has caused the problem.

So, to isolate the problem, could you please try to reproduce the problem with only VMware Workstation? For example:

1. create a virtual machine with a VMDK of VMware Workstation file

2. make custom configurations: you can do it by the workstation user interface, or you can also change the configuration files of virtual machine manually

3. reproduce the problem

I tried the following scenario:

1 create a Windows VM 10 x 64 custom with IDE virtual drive, attach WinPE ISO

2. power on the virtual machine, it will boot to WinPE

3. check the storage Powershell cmdlets work well

4. Run diskpart, create a partition, format the partition to NTFS

5. power off the virtual machine

6 remove the virtual drive IDE virtual machine settings

7. Add a new virtual disk in the virtual machine settings, select SCSI type and using are virtual disk file

8. Select the virtual disk file removed in step 6, save and close the virtual machine settings

9. power on the virtual machine, it will boot to WinPE

Result: Storage PowerShell cmdlets work well with virtual drive SCSI in WinPE

This test reminds me of one thing, Win10 x 64 support only this controller of storage in VMware Workstation:

scsi0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsisas1068"

So please make sure that these two lines are in vmx file your virtual machine and they must be configured as indicated above. If this isn't the case, you can try to change.

Kind regards

Shawn

  • Reconfigure RAID (Online Capacity Expansion) does not work for non Dell drives in the bios and is not available in OMSA for VMWare

    VMWare users have found a solution for the following?

    Readers of PERC H700 and H800 (firmware current 12.10.4 - 0001 A10, r610 servers) allow the user (in the bios during startup) to create new virtual disks using non Dell drives, but you cannot expand a virtual disk existing readers not Dell, when in the bios.  The option is grayed out.

    OMSA for Windows bypasses it.  Virtual disk | Tasks | Reconfigure can do online capacity expansion and accepts disks not Dell for this.

    Problem is OMSA to VMWare ESXi (v7.2, the current version and older versions) doesn't have a virtual disk tasks fall to the bottom.  You can not even a hard drive flashes.  (VMWare ESXi = v5.1)

    The only solution we can think of is to have two drive arrays connected to the computer, and create a simple Windows with OMSA, boot in Windows Server to expand the virtual disk using OMSA for Windows.

    I would be interested in the comments of others, including those of Dell.  We spent hours on the phone with Dell; This seems to be the only solution.  (Yes, Dell released a firmware version last year that has ceased blocking non Dell readers, but it only works for the creation of a new virtual disk, do not expanding one existing).

    The firmware update the unlocked non certified discs was in July 2010 (two years ago).  No latest updates seem to speak of changes/updates to update that.

    I don't know why uncertified discs would be blocked for a single operation (expansion/reconfigure) - are get you certain types of message that certainly is the case?  Did you do that with certified readers?  Last I heard, Dell had a firmware update in the works that would allow an extension to get the CTRL-R utility, where it historically could not be done from there.  12.10.4 as of 2012, I guess (if the Dell guy who told me he rode was OK) this update has not been released yet... However, I could be wrong.  I don't have a H700 to test with, but you can try OMSA live as an alternative to the construction of a temporary Windows Server to try the expansion of the OMSA.

  • What is the best storage option [work] for PremPro CC

    Hi people,

    I am currently building a new workstation whose primary use will be to Photoshop and Premiere Pro. I've covered the bases with the following equipment:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 Extreme 4930 K 3 .4GHz Socket 2011

    GPU: 3 GB PNY NVIDIA Quadro graphics card K4000

    Memory: DDR3 Corsair Dominator Quad Channel 2133 * 32 Gb

    OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit running an SSD dedicated offshore


    OK, maybe it's a bit excessive, but it gives me flexibility, and a few years grace before some other technology hits the fan!


    Where I struggle is storage.


    Could you please share some examples of life real wrt storage scenarios. Photoshop is quite easy but PremPro is a demanding beast, and I'm not sure whether to implement what I should use. On-board physical space is not a problem [Obsidain 900 d case] but storage can be very expensive, and I'd rather have this right first time. Just to be clear, I'm afraid with storage in a work situation and backup, not external archiving.


    Thank you in advance.

  • FM 9 or 10 a better dictionary to work for non-English languages?

    I am on FM 7 (last updated) on Windows Vista.

    As it is now, there is a character limit how a Word can have for it to be entered into the dictionary. We have here in Sweden have 3 letters which are not present in language English, a, a, and o. In the dictionary, these letters are replaced by 4 characters (!):

    a is replaced by \x8c

    a is replaced by \x8a

    o is replaced by \x9a

    If I have a long word containing a couple of these letters, it will not be added to the dictionary. This means that he didn't warn me about the spelling mistakes and he hyphenates completely crazy. The only way to circumvent the crazy break is to add the - manually, and it's just not good at all. If I can add or delete words until there is 100% chance that I will certainly remove the...

    We think of the upgrade to version 9 or 10. Is there a solution for this here? Is there still a limit? Don't they understand that other dictionaries are used and that some languages have words longer than the English language?

  • Iconia S/N is not found; support can be contacted; machine worked for three months. == No, two.

    Can anyone tell me please where I can find the S/N for the Iconia Windows Tablet? Or a way to contact support. A way to contact support. The machine was a payment for a trial in collective action and worked for two months and now won't turn on. Knowledge database tells me that I can find on a label (no label) or turn it on. If I could turn it on, I wouldn't need support.

    And Acer seems to give me no way to contact them about this product. More frustrating than precious: here's your machine: it won't work within two months, and we will not give you a way to contact us. Good day.

    Sorry all... I go back to the first question: any way to get a serial number out of this thing, or otherwise contact acer support?

    [edited to conform to the guidelines]

    I think that yours is probably W4 or W3. They both have a microSD and microHDMI microUSB slot.

    I think there are three distinct possibilities. The battery may become too discharged in storage to be able to load, the charger may be bad, or the battery may be bad. I can't remember if these models will directly run on the charger or not, but it is looking at the possibility. If they're going to sink the charger then we have reduced to the charger (possibly charge connector).

    If they will not work with just the charger then you test the output of the charger. You can use a wire wrapped around the probe on you VOM to reach the center of the connector of the charger.

    In my view, there are videos from Youtube with the info on battery recharge/boost one too discharged, but I would seriously look into your security situation before trying. No need to get your fingers inside if it is replaceable in the warranty.

  • WiFi Dell 1704 no driver work for doesn't win 10

    Hello, I have a laptop Inspiron 3543 which has WiFi Dell 1704 map 10 64-bit Windows running, and I can't find drivers that work:

    (1) the last v7.35.295.0 on the Dell driver download page crashes the laptop every two hours with a blue PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA screen (I've read elsewhere that it is because I am running Hyper-V, this version of the driver can't stand properly but I can not remove Hyper-V as I'm required to use by my company for work)

    Swapping 2) back to the original v6.30.223.256 that comes with Windows 10 causes a blue screen, but instead he loses the connection to the WiFi every two hours and I have to restart so that he reconnect (I disabled the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the power management of the Manager screen devices set the "Minimum energy" false in the screen advanced device management) set it to 'Maximum Performance' in "SpeedStep" power in the control panel and disabled Options in the BIOS - no combination of these changes stop it from occurring)

    So I can't use the last version of driver because TI regularly bluescreens and I cannot use the original driver because it disconnects regularly requiring a reboot to fix.

    What can I do? When a driver version will come that properly supports Hyper-V AND does not cut the WiFi?

    Thank you

    Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    I don't know when will be released a new Win10 driver for the Dell DW1704 card.  The previous one was in October, but unless there is a significant problem with the connectivity without wire of the 1704 through a number relatively large users I don't know that a specific upgraded wireless driver will be released.  Not too much our Inspiron 3543 customers using Hyper-V, so I find it highly unlikely that an updated driver will be released to address exactly that.

    V6.30.223.256 of the driver version is the one that came with the card with installs it Windows 10 original, but have you tried to remove all the drivers wireless, restart the system and allowing the Win10 to find / install a native driver for the wireless card?  Or is that the version of the driver, it installs on your system?  A native driver of Win10 would be better work for you?  Win10 is supposed to have built in drivers for many network elements.

    The Inspiron 3543 DW1704 is a mini-pcie half height card and your best bet may be to find another card that will support Hyper-V.   A lot of our line of Latitude and Precision Workstation systems aimed more at business practices based, that would be more likely to use virtualization, tend to come with the Intel-based cards.  You can also check with the it Department of your company.  If they require you to use Hyper-V they can already get an idea of cards that they prefer to take in charge the also.

    Sorry I couldn't give you a more promising response, but unfortunately this line of systems and maps, not are not really designed to manage what you're trying to do.

  • Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...

    Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...


    IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

    In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

    My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

    Dv01 has

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    VM02 has

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

    I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

    (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

    Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

    Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

    Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

    LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

    I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
    His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

    To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

    No disks are IO or claim of space.

    But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

    Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

    Thank you...

    At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

  • Cannot retrieve the data by binary storage by default for XML 11 g

    Oracle 11.2

    All,

    As someone mentioned in another post, I got I should use binary XMLType CLOB rather than 11g because it is more efficient. When I create the XMLType column as binary I can't retrieve the value of the column, but when I use CLOB I am able to extract data on.

    -Create table with XMLTYPE column.  Since it is 11.2 storage of the column is automatically binary
    CREATE THE TABLE HR. XMLTABLESTORE (key_id VARCHAR2 (10) PRIMARY KEY, xmlloaddate date, xml_column XMLTYPE);

    -Insert the XML into the XML column
    INSERT INTO HUMAN RESOURCES. VALUES XMLTABLESTORE (HR. XMLSEQUENCE. NEXTVAL, SYSDATE, XMLType (bfilename ('XMLDIRX', 'PROD_20110725_211550427_220b.xml'),
    nls_charset_id ('AL32UTF8'))); COMMIT;

    -When I do a select I see full XML in the xml_column column
    SELECT * FROM HR. XMLTABLESTORE

    -When I run the following query I get the following:
    SELECT extract (xml_column, ' / / MapItem/@ProductNum') ProductNum OF HR. XMLTABLESTORE

    ProductNum
    -------------
    XMLType

    -When I run the following query on the @, I get the following:
    SELECT extract (xml_column, ' / / MapItem/ProductNum ') ProductNum OF HR. XMLTABLESTORE

    ProductNum
    -------------
    Null value

    When I run the same SELECT query retrieves (xml_column, ' / / MapItem/@ProductNum') ProductNum OF HR. XMLTABLESTORE and the table is created by CLOB, I get out the expected value of the XML file.

    How can I get the query to retrieve the data through a binary file?

  • How can I make the individual work for each song on a compilation album of show when I browse my playlists?

    I get a lot of my music from Soundcloud where individual songs are released by artists often with none of the albums.

    So, when you add these songs on iTunes I the name of the album for each of them SoundCloud despite the fact that each of them have different names track/artists/works of art.  When I select the option to indicate that the song is part of a compilation album, even if the individual work remains in each song and shows when I play the song, looking at my playlists, songs from my compilation album of SoundCloud will only show album art compilation rather than the individual works for each song.  How can I my iTunes will show that each individual work?

    You can't while retaining spacing as part of this same album. If you want each art individual to show then tracks them to a unique combination of the album title and album artist. If the tracks are underway on an older iPod then the tracks on the album must be unique.
