• [CARS] Add the new disk in the database running environment

  Hi all

  I want to ask a question about oracle RAC especially to add a new disk.

  Here's the situation for existing oracle RAC

  1. There is 1 oracle clusterware (CRS), ASM and 2 node RAC

  2. There is a demand to add a new disk to existing diskgroup

  3. all CRS, ASM and RAC is in the online state

  I read document oracle (How to add a new disc to year Diskgroup existing RAC Cluster or stand-alone Configuration of ASM (Best Practices).) (Doc ID 557348.1()

  My question is,

  1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

  2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

  Thank you

  Adrian

  My question is,

  1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

  No, you need not bring down the ASM or DB

  2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

  Yes, you can add the disk, ASM automatically rebalance and share the workload on the new disk.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmdiskgrps.htm#OSTMG10070

• Size limits to add a new disk to a virtual machine?

  Hello again,

  I have a variety of iSCSI LUNS, and range in size from 500 GB to 1 TB. I've added databases on appropriate LUNS and they were put into shape with a block size of 8 MB he. The problem I encounter is that I can't create a new disk for any computer virtual size of disc more than 256 GB. No clue as to why this is happening? I've recently updated my ESX host with the update package now, cordially.

  Thanks as always...

  I would check that the size of the block is really 8 MB...

• ProLiant ML350 G6: How to add a new disk to my server

  I have a HP ProLiant ML350 G6 in the HDD rack before I have some unused slots and I want to fill them with some news readers. How do I do that? I do not have a "cage" where to put a standard 3.5 "drive, so I wonder if I need to buy the whole cage + reader package.

  In addition, can I organize the disks in any way I want, more than one RAID volume with a simple bracket and a single raid card? I guess Yes, but I want to make sure, and ask is free

  Thank you

• Add the new disk group to the existing group

  Hello world

  I have a Dell T310 server with a PERC 6 controller. My current setup is:

  Disk 0-1 TB

  1-1 TB drive

  Players above are mirrored and partitioned the drive C and D.

  The first problem I have is the drive C: is 40GB (from the factory) and is running out of disk space.

  I bought 2 2 TB drives and was hoping to install readers, their mirror and more 1 TB disks and use the disks of 2 TB as the new D: - I would image current data on D for new readers.

  I have installed 2 new readers (2.0 TB), but when I go into the settings of the raid controller I am only able to assign spare readers?

  Can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong?

  I already have a full backup of the server.

  Thank you.

• Add the new hard drive into the data store in ESXi 4.1

  Hi all

  I got ESX 4.1 installed on the Dell server, and I have 3 virtual machines on a data store.

  I added a new 500 GB scsi hard drive to the server,

  and I need to add it to the datasore or create a new...

  How can I see this new hard drive? and add it to the data store?

  Waiting for your help.

  Abrams,

  That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

  1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

  2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

  This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
  a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
  (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
  c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

  After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

  And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

  Good luck.

• Add to that a drive to RAID5 ESX didn't add the new space?

  I need more space for the ESX Server so I add 4th same drive size to existing RAID5, I had 3 discs 264.50 I now see in open manage once I add the 4^th car total 408 GB is 260 something in ESX under storage always fresh watch 46 GB 264.50 GB of space even old information and restarted ESX even question? How can I add the new space of ESX?

  Thank you

  Always backup your virtual machines if you are not sure

  For me, because I am familiar with the disk partitioning, I would just to repartition the disk.  Depends on your comfort level.  method 1 is the "safest".

• Try to add a new hard disk to m7657c

  So, after about 6 years, we you're still enjoying our Media Center Office and have made a few updates here and there (OS, graphics card, etc.). Now, we're tired of running out of disk space and want to add a new hard drive. Now, according to the specifications of the product (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00794034), we should have two internal drive bays 3.5 ". Which one should be available. Where is located the?

  I have removed the side and before the panels, can see where the existing HARD drive is mounted on the side of the Bay of media player owner, but I can't find any other anchor point to place a secondary HARD disk. There is a lot of power open and SATA connections, but I am at a loss to find a Bay.

  Before the wreck I have my system trying to kluge something together, I want to know where the available Bay is supposed to exist.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you!

  joverstreet001,

  Happy holidays to you.  Your detailed question and knowledge have a simple answer.  Thank you very much!!!. Some chassis models have 4 screw holes in the bottom of the unit. You need to ask to see.

• In vSphere 5.5 customer web, when you add a new HARD disk, cannot create as thick.  Gray disk provisioning.  No one knows why this happens?

  In the vSphere web 5.5 client, which is now where he should go to add a new HARD drive when you upgrade the VM version to 10... When I add one, I do not get the option to change the disk configuration.  Any ideas as to why?  It is an engine out of VM, with no snapshots:

  

  The virtual machine lives on a NFS datastore with no HW accel. ? If so, that would explain it.

• Add a new virtual disk to a very critical existing VM

  Hi all,

  My question is very simple. I have to add a new virtual disk to an existing Windows Server 2008 Standard virtual machine (we use vSphere 5). This machine

  is very critical, because it is the server of the company files. Is there a risk to add the new virtual disk on the virtual computer? Is it better to add it with the virtual machine died, or can I also in the virtual machine running without risk? I tried with a virtual test machine and everything works fine and I know to be very paranoid, but in this moment I still feel a great responsibility on me.

  Thank you all.

  There is nothing wrong by adding a disk to a virtual machine, it is HOT add, that is the advantage of the SCSI layer. VMDK all use a virtual scsi controller and it is hot add capable. SO just, add it and partition.

• How to add a row in a computer using New-disk virtual hard?

  Hello

  I am running powercli 5.0.1 build 581491 and I'm writing a powercli script for:

  (1) create a RDM

  (2) assign the RDM to VM1

  (3) assign the same RDM to VM2

  I am able to create the ROW and assign it to VM1, but I am unable to use "New drive" assign to VM2.  Using the following command, I am able to create the ROW and assign it to VM1.

  New-disk-hard - VM VM1 DiskType - RawVirtual /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.60000970000192603729533030353531 - DeviceName

  While trying to assign to VM2, I do the following:

  New-harddisk - VM, VM2 - DiskPath ' [san - datastore:1] vm1/vm1_1.vmdk.

  And I get the following error:

  New-hard drive: 06/06/2012 14:13:19 new-support device Incompatible hard disk specified for the device '0'.

  What I realized, is that if I create a regular vmdk file, then use the New drive using the '-DiskPath ' option, then the command works well.  So my question is, what is the command to add a ROW in a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance.

  No, indeed it seems something wrong with the cmdlet New-disk hard when adding shared RDMs.

  I have the following, which assigns the RDM common to both virtual machines.

  It's more or less the same, what you've seen in Onyx, but it adds the RDM shared for two virtual machines.

  $vm1 = Get-VM -Name VM1 $vm2 = Get-VM -Name VM2
  $DeviceName = "/vmfs/devices/disks/naa.600507680180701ed00000000000124" 
  
  $hd1 = New-HardDisk -VM $vm1 -DeviceName $DeviceName -DiskType RawVirtual $ctrl1 = New-ScsiController -HardDisk $hd -BusSharingMode Virtual -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec
  $spec.DeviceChange += New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec $spec.deviceChange[0].device += $ctrl1.ExtensionData $spec.deviceChange[0].device.Key = -101$spec.deviceChange[0].operation = "add"

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  Concerning

  Marius Aulie

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

• Help!  How to add a new 350GB disk?

  Hi all

  I was tasked with the addition of an extra 350GB disk to a virtual machine in a configuration, I discovered it's done not as easily in Lab Manager as it is in vCenter.  I cancelled the Setup and when I go into the properties of the VM I see 'add the HDD', but when I go to add the new drive with the size you want it only allows me to add a maximum of 167 GB (the remaining space on the LUN that VM is enabled) as expected.  I have a new 550 GB LUN I want to create this new drive 350GB, but I do not get a choice where to create the new disk.  Can someone help me please this seemingly simple task?  Thank you

  BTW - I use Lab Manager 3.0 (2) on ESX 3.5 HP blades

  If you add a new HARD disk in your virtual machine in the Lab Manager the disc is placed in the root directory of die VM.
