'Add a storage' for 3ware 9690 shows 2 TB of capacity, but only 47GB available

I have ESXi 4.0.0 installed on a 1 TB drive. The system also has a 3ware 9690SA in a RAID5 configuration with 4x750GB drives.

It tooks some time but I was able to install the drivers via vSphere Client doing KB, then I rebooted.

Back in vSphere Client I select the server, select Configuration - & gt; Storage, then "Add storage..." »

I go through the steps, it displays 2.0 TB of capacity, but when I get to "Current disc layout" it only 47GB available!

What gives any suggestions/ideas? Why can't I get the full 2 TB?

I guess that there is actually 2 TB + 47 GB. You must create 2 TB-512 b LUN, not even one more byte.

  • Website showing a footer white bar, but only in some browsers?

    Hello world

    I tried to follow some of the precedents on this issue, but I'm still not able to overcome this bug. I have quite a few problems with a small white bar foot on my site. However, the problem arises in some internet browsers or if you use Windows instead of Mac.

    I tried to uncheck the sticky foot and adjust the grid footer, but it is yet to help me.

    Are you familiar with this issue?

  • DVD - RW DVR-K17LF for the Satellite series does not read DVD but only to CD

    Hello

    I have a serious problem with my DVD player.
    He stopped to work. I mean, he's not reading CD but not DVD discs.
    I don't know what the problem is.

    I went on the internet and found no solution.

    Please help me.
    It is not a software problem, because my laptop does not start the DVD, but due to the CD...

    Hello

    The issue could be linked to the anomaly of the player's laser lens.
    Maybe the lens can not handle the DVD because of a physical constraint.
    In most cases, the lens can not calibrate properly and therefore different media would not work.
    In this case there is not much to do in most of the cases that the drive needs to be replaced.

    But maybe you could try to clean the drive s laser lens using a cleaning professional who could be bought from the other computer dealers.
    I don't very well if this will help but it s worth to try m

    PS: Try this:
    Remove the drive from Device Manager, access the registry and remove the filters top and bottom of this key;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Then restart the laptop and check the functionality of s by car.

    I have accidentanly I forgot my user password. But my laptop has no administrator account, just guest account. How can I reset my password with the guest account never? Or can use the disk? Can what type of disc I use? What can I do? Please... someone help me?

    What to do if you forget your Windows password

    If you have forgotten your Windows password and you are on a domain, you must contact your system administrator to reset your password. If you are not on a domain (most of the individuals are not on a domain), you can reset your password by using a reset disk of password or by using an administrator account.

    If you forget the administrator password, and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password. If there is no other user account on the computer, you will not be able to connect to Windows and you will need to re - install Windows.

  • Add crash function storage for wizzard in vSphere Client 4.1

    Hello

    I separatelly that install ESX 4.1 on HP DL380 G6 with 2 logical drives on SmartArray P410i, first storage was created during the installation process.

    And when I try to add (second storage) storage in vSphere Client wizzard breaks down with configuration of host error, please what I m doing wrong?

    Thanks for any help

    Jerome Kovac

    I saw another post there, someone had a similar problem because they had a few other partitions on the disk.  They have manually deleted these partitions with FDISK and then managed to format the volume normally using the wizard so could be a potential cause of this?   Deletion and recreation of the second virtual disk must also remove all partiions.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, beginning 2011, just upgraded to 8 Ram and have the storage capacity of 500 GB.  I need more storage for photos.  How much more can my grip of Mac, and it makes sense to add a computer that old?

    I'm trying to decided if I should try to add more storage to my lap top existing, or buy a new one with more memory.  I am a Photogaphy and need a lot of storage.  I have a MacBook Pro, in early 2011, just upgraded to 8 GB of Ram so I could upgrade to OSX E Capitan and add new software. I have 500 GB storage now and need a lot more. Would love 2 TB or more.

    What is the maximum I can add to my laptop? And does make sense to do?

    On the largest practical size warehouse readers coming always internally are about 1, 000 GB.

    To go more than you would have to decide if the portability was an important issue, because additional disks should probably be external. The Mac can support dozens of external hard drives. If you do not carry them, 'office' readers are faster and can be found in larger sizes. Their PIN 12-volt Motors require a lot more power that can be provided using Bus power, while they use their own power supplies.

  • Add VNX LUN for ESX

    I am trying to add VNX LUN 4 to our production 4.0\ESXi ESX VMware environment 5.  Each logic unit number is 1024 GB - we want two 2 TB VMFS3 data warehouses.  In vCenter, I created the first 1024 GB data store.  When

    try to add a measure for the 2nd LUN 1024 GB I noticed that the # display in vCenter LUN was not the same thing as what shows the VNX.  I have published a couple of new analysis all orders, but still see the same

    difference in the numbering of the logical unit number.  Should is this normal - I worry?  THX.

    There may be an incompatibility between the ESXi and storage you... have you checked the IVNSJ for identification?

    You can check the host lun id in your storage space?

    You should think about creating a LUN 2 x 2 TB (and 2 data without extensions stores) instead of 4 x 1 TB LUN (and 2 warehouses of data with 2 Extensions)

  • Storage for Lab Manager

    My client needs storage for Lab Manager running on 100 servers. Is it recommended to use the NAS or SAN for Lab Manager running and what type of e/s that you wait for the same thing?

    I did a little bit with storage of LM in recent years.

    I have a development/test environment on LM 600 machine, using 2 Sun 7210 storage devices (is no longer available) on NFS shares. We have 2 links 1 G servile vmKernel traffc as well as links to more vmnetwork, management, etc.  The devices are related to links of 4 x 1 G each.

    I don't know what are the current constraints of LM/ESX, but whenever we revisit the decision 'block vs NAS' we end up selecting NFS (our Sun boxes can present the iSCSI as easily).

    As Jon says, what storage you need certainly depend on your VMS and load.  NOTE: my experience is * NOT * in a production environment, where I am squeezing virtual machines performance.  It's more about the functionality and "adequate" performance (where "adequate" is a measure based on the user experience topic).

    Some things we have learned over the years:

    • IOPS / s are kings, and most of them are entries.  (Written at the moment, I have a few heavy ready operations push me down to about 65 percent.)  I saw > 80% of entries maintained for days.)
    • Latency does not seem as important - VMs run about the same at 10ms latency and latency 250ms NFS NFS.  When latencies above 750ms grows, they will be noticiable users and if they go more than a second over 1000 ms you will begin to see the impact on the guest OSes, especially Solaris x 86.
    • Normal operations don't care about bandwidth - just current execution machines don't even fill a link 1 G
    • Deployment operations * could * start filling to the top of the bandwidth, maybe
    • Betware storm IO.  Often people think the storm IO deployment/boot, but 400 RedHat machines all the kickoff of their 'updatedb' cron job at 04:00 can produce any IO storm as well.  NOTE: IMHO if you buy storage to handle this kind of thing, you're overpaying storage.  I've spread my cron through the night and now can not see on the graphs of storage performance.
    • There is * NOT * a good correlation between guest OS IOPS / s as shown, for example, iostat and PAHO are / s NFS presented to the storage system.  I'm guessing that ESX made a lot of caching.

    Most storage vendors I spoke last year does not seem to find it.  They think in terms of bandwdith and it accelerates with read cache, so unimportant in my environment - I had to push really hard to get sellers to think in the right conditions and some of them really seem out of their depth there.

    I think that this state of mind is important: consider the IOPS / s as you consider CPU: how much should I give to each machine?  How much should I oversubsubscribe?

    Like CPU, a physical machine which IO a lot more available that he needs and you can consolidate - but don't know how.  A physical machine with a pair of 15 k drives RAID1 has about 200 IOPS / s available and readers spend most of time inactive (a bit like the CPU).

    That will boost the machines and when?  Right now I'm on average 9 inputs/outputs by VM, which in my opinion is quite small.  My storage system can go higher under request, but I have enough machines that it is fairly constant.

    In my quest for the perfect storage of LM, I found the usual: good, not expensive or fast, you can choose any two.  How we use LM (lots and lots of shared models) we would really like a unique namespace shared (i.e. 1 data store). I have yet to find the 'perfect' - storage, the Suns are very profitable for the performance and space, but their management takes too much of my time and my 72XX are not expandable - the 74 might be a different experience.  I am currently looking to add some SSD storage, but the ideal configuration would be automated migratino between levels (for example, EMC QUICKLY) and if I bought only from EMC I would triple my cost per VM.

    I talked to people who have a pattern of use of different models that are quite happy on several data stores.  If you can move your load through many warehouses of data then Isilon looks like interesting storage.

    So, in summary:

    • Watch IOPS / s 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then the latency time, then (maybe) bandwidth
    • Manage the budget or the ability of the IOPS / s as you CPU
    • You may not use comments IOPS / s to provide shared storage IOPS / s

    I'm hoping to have a better storage solution in the next 6 months or more.

  • Cannot add local storage of 2 of the 3 armies VM

    I added 9 300 disks in concert at 9 different hosts. They have SAN connections shared between them all, and now I wanted to add 300 locally to each. I got the readers in the server, restarted the first and F8 to enter the config of the car and he saw the car, I added and saved the configuration.

    Restarted and went into the VI. a host to the top, as well as virtual methods... went to the Config tab on the host, storage adapters and verfiied I could see the new drive. Went to the storage and click Add storage. Chose the disk/lun and the next screen showed me my local drive. He added, and everything was fine.

    Then, on the same server, I went through all the above steps, until he showed on the storage adapter properties page, and he was there... But when I go to the store page and add storage, it does not appear there. Only my existing device SAN disks are. I reread the HBA and drives are all showing under the Smart Array P400i vmhba0 again. but only the first showed when I went to add it in VI.

    I have returned a 2nd, deleted the player, readded it and still no luck... anyone seen this?

    Yes seen that before, suppose that you connect to your virtual center to add local storage? Connect your VI client directly to the host, then add local storage, it will then appear

  • Add new storage "opération TimedOut" with RDM LUN on host. Pls Help

    Hello

    Installation program:

    4 ESX 3.5 hosts each with 2 HBA adapter connected to the HP MSA1000.

    Question:

    I set up MSCS SQL 2000 with RDM through host, MSCS failover without problem, performance wise is not a problem at all too. But the problem is that if the MSCS SQL resource is managed by the Active virtual machine that is running on host1, I can navigate to storage / adding LUNs, set in shape of new LUN with no problems.

    If I want to add new storage on the other host "host2" I received the error "Tor time to ask"is it because of the resource ROW being busy serving the machine virtual active it is why the host not allowing do not change with the addition of new storage?

    Guests see these LUNs. I can add the data store or to do a new analysis also long the LUNS are not presented to the host. Also I can browse the data store, able to see the addition of Storge Wizard when adding new

    Data store and make a new analysis only on the host where the operation of the active node. Suppose the preseneted RDM LUN on host1 and host2 and VM SQL running on host1, I can only browse the data warehouses, a new analysis and add new storge to this host. I can't do the same thing with

    hosts2.

    But if I take these "RDM LUN" LUNS in host2, host3 and host4. I can do a rescan, adding other LUNS as the RDM presented to the virtual machine, able to see the add storage wizard.

    I googled the error and found that the Ontario server is question, or DNS

    Best regards

    Post edited by: habibalby

    I had similar questions to those two problems here where I couldn't add a data store as he would expire and I got the long startup time. I also use RDM which I use for MSCS in the whole of boxes 2. Here's a quote from my previous post in which I found a response that helped me. Changingthe SCSI retry time increased my boot time and allowed me to add one more time without the question of the time-out, data warehouses.

    Response to previous Post:

    I did some research and I think I've made some progress. I found that I get lots of SCSI errors in the VMkernel newspaper. I did some more research and found out that I can change the time retrying SCSI 80 to 10 and it has done wonders for my time to reboot. Now, instead of taking 20 minutes to start, it takes less than 5 minutes now. Much better. I made the change in the host-> advance-> SCSI--> SCSI configuration try again. 80 a the default and 10A was suggested as being a good value. It helped and I will keep an eye on what can make the effect, but so far it has helped with startup times.
