Add additional disks in VM

Hello

I'm working on a workflow that will add disks to an existing virtual computer. I looked at the default workflow 'Add drive '. 2 entries, I can not understand is diskIndex and scsiBusNumber. How can I find these numbers? Is there a way to search for the existing virtual computer, extract the current support information, then increase the diskIndex 1 to create a loop for additional disks?

Any help or point me in the right direction.

Thank you

Hello B, give this a try... workflow you mention vCenter is so here:

Entry: vm (VC:VirtualMachine)

Released: diskIndex (number), busNumber (number), data store (VC:Datastore)

The diskIndex returned should be the next available diskIndex. The busNumber is the current busNumber of the disc already in the virtual machine. And the data store is the first store of data referenced by the virtual machine

Code:

scsiControllerKey = -1;
var devices = vm.config.hardware.device;
var bus = null;

if ( devices != null )  {
    for ( device in devices )  {
        if ( devices[device] instanceof VcVirtualBusLogicController || devices[device] instanceof VcVirtualLsiLogicController
        || devices[device] instanceof VcParaVirtualSCSIController || devices[device] instanceof VcVirtualLsiLogicSASController )  {
                scsiControllerKey = devices[device].key;
                bus = devices[device];
                busNumber = devices[device].busNumber;
                //System.log( "SCSI controller found. (Key: " + scsiControllerKey + ")" );
                //System.log(" Bus Number: "+busNumber);
                break;
        }
    }
}

var validNumbers = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6];
var devices = vm.config.hardware.device;
if ( devices != null )  {
     for ( device in devices )  {
          if ( devices[device] instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {
               var u = devices[device].unitNumber;
                for (i in validNumbers) {
                    if (validNumbers[i] == u) {
                        validNumbers.splice(i,1); // Remove number in use
                    }
                }
          }
     }
}
var datastore = vm.datastore[0];
var diskIndex = validNumbers[0];
//System.log("diskIndex: "+diskIndex);

PowerEdge R510 - expand RAID5 with additional disks

Hello

I have an ESX5 VMWare hypervisor running of PE R510 (embedded) on SDs in the mirror. We currently have SAS 5 x 146 GB drives in a RAID5 configuration that provides approximately 1.6 gross TB of storage for the VMFS data store.

I'm trying to understand whether it is possible to add additional disks to this configuration RAID5, so expand the virtual disk, without the need to destroy/loose data in place? If so, what steps would be to do this?

Thank you

Chris

Yes, it's called Online Capacity Expansion. You can reconfigure your 5 RAID 5 disks to include more records by adding them to the table. It is non-destructive and can be done online. You can use the service reconfigures the software OpenManage for do this, either by adding the VIB ESX or boot from a disk Live OMSA.

Once you have added the records in the table, you need to resize partitions in ESX. Also, I think that 5 + uses default TPG, but keep in mind that if it is not the case, then your picture will be limited by ESX 2 TB of usable space. This would likely only (potentially) be a problem if you have gone to some other version 5.x.

Add additional sata disk to pavillion m9400t elite

Hello, I have a HP Pavilion Elite M9400T desktop computer. I'm on the disc and you want to add an additional hard drive. The case of the opening, I found that the two slots of the disc already have records in them. I also found that SATA0 and SATA2 ports have taken in them and they are attached to the hard drive. I found that the SATA4 port is empty and this is where I want to connect the additional disk. I bought a Western Digital Black 2 TB 3.5 hard drive and buy an internal matter for mounting the drive in the empty 5.25 bay under the optical drive. I also need to buy a SATA cable and adpater cable drive power. Did I meet problems getting the systΦme can recognize the added disk? Are there things I should be aware of I have install additional drive? Thanks for the info.

The "T" of the HP Pavilion Elite M9400T designates a custom configuration. These can be found here.

Based on your post, your system has a RAID0 (spans 2 discs) or RAID1 (mirrored), which

(A) 2 x 500 GB drives in RAID 1 (helpful 500 GB storage capacity)

(B) 640 (2 x 320) GB, RAID 0

(C) 1 TB (2 x 500) RAID 0

So, what's your configuration?

Add the 3rd disc system is simple, and your logic is correct. Installation, connection and format.

The system is 5 years old (readers have a limited duration), you may be eligible to advance the survival rate by installing the new drive as primary and the old records of retirement.

HP ENVY laptop laptop 15-as032nr: buy 512 GB SSD laptop. You want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

Hello

I bought the HP ENVY 15-as032nr with only 512 GB SSD laptop. I want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

Yes, you have the 512 m2 NVME PCI - e (lucky) drive gig and that goes into a slot and then there is also a slot open for a standard hard disk 2.5 thumbs or SATA SSD. See pages 30-33 of the manual here:

Repair manuals

It is likely that your laptop does not contain the HDD mounting kit and cable as shown on page 30 and 31 and this note is in the Manual:

The disk spare parts kit hard does not include the rubber hard drive support or cable hard drive. The hard disk rubber support is available using the spare part number 857797-001. The hard drive cable is available by using the spare part number 857806-001

An extra $ 66 for the housing and the cable seems a bit strong, but I couldn't find their sale anywhere other than HP Store.

Adding additional disk space to Perc 6 / i server R710

I have currently 3 250 GB installation as a raid 5 (original configuration) disks on a server R710 with a Perc 6 / i controller. I ordered 3 discs (same readers) that we are running out of disk space. There is a set up disk C: and D:. Can someone point me to instructions for adding these additional disks for the raid existing (drive D) without having dataloss?

Thank you

Gary

If you don't have that one 'disk' listed in disk management, then you have only a single VD configured, which is good.

You must install OMSA to broaden your VD. You then insert your new drives, make sure that they show as ready under physical disks, then go to virtual disks and select Reconfigure to your RAID 5. Adding two drives in your RAID 5 will add about 500GB (bit math makes it a little less) to your current Windows 'disk '. After the reconfigure statement, you will have something similar to below. Then, assuming that you do not run 2003, you click on the D: drive and choose Extend to finish with the second photo:

ModifyReportEntry add additional data

Hello to all Experts Teststand,

I am developing system of automatic test of electronic components.

I use TestStand 2014 and 2014 LabVIEW. I'm generating the report in XML format using horizontal.xsl to view the report.

I am trying to add additional data (for example name these 'StepDescription' data) to my report in the body of the report. I found information on how to edit the xsl file to add a new column to the report table (using BeginTable) and set the type of the step to which the present new data (search for "ADD_COLUMN_DATA_" in the file xsl. It is done and works very well.

Now, I have to add my data to the output XML file so that the xsl can display this data in the new column "StepDescription.

I use the ModifyReportEntry callback to add my data to the report string. Here are my problems:

1. I noticed that the ModifyReportEntry callback called any that I ran my sequence. I am generation my report in XML format. In the report option, the box 'Select a report generator to produce report body' was grey, so I can't select the checkbox 'Sequence '. Is this normal? If it is gray out, what should I use (sequence or DLL) to generate the body of the report for the XML output format?

2. If you can help me solve the problem in 1., then there is another problem, that is, how to record "StepDescription" data to the result database? I ask this because if I use the "additional results" a step to write the data in the database, it will also appear on the report (as attributes of the property). How can I write the data from the database using 'Other results' without him printing again on the report (as data already appears in the column "StepDescription").

Thanks for your help.

Yours,

chati

As described here, ModifyReportEntry only works for HTML and ASCII reports.

How can you add additional Google accounts without doing a hard reset?

I can't add additional accounts of Google. I created another account Google using my PC and I am trying to add from the Menu--> Settings--> accounts--> add--> Google account and by signing then to my new Google account, but it won't let me. It keeps saying "cannot establish a connection of reliable data on the server. I have 3G coverage full where I tried to add the new Google account and tried to add other places as well. I have 'data base' are checked, as well as "Data roaming" within the parameters of the data delivery. I read in another thread that you may need to do a hard reset and then add all your Google represents both. That seems pretty extreme. Are there any other way to add a Google account, once you set up your main Google account days before?

HI -.

I use all-in-one Officejet 6700 printer. When you scan a document, the HP used to have software overview screen the + and - signs to add additional / remove unwanted scans. Now, the + and - signs are gone. I can't find another way to add additional scans for ongoing work.

Hi @ChicagoVols

Looks like there is a problem with the software. Because the option to add/remove pages is missing, I feel the best thing to do is to uninstall and reinstall the software.

Please follow the following steps and let me know the result;
1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
3. The new software - uninstall the printer software Instructions
4. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
5. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

Add the disk to the PERC H700 of RAID integrated table 5

Hi all.

I have currently a Dell PowerEdge R710 configured with 4 SAS - 2 10 146 k Seagate 2.5 "drives in a Perc h700 integrated Bay RAID-5. I ordered a SAS-2 10 146 k disk Seagate 2.5 "to add to the Bay RAID-5 storage, making it a 5-disc set. What is the best way to add the drive to the RAID-5 array without losing any data? I have OpenManage Server Admin on the server.

OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 32 BIT

You can use OMSA... go in storage, PERC, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for your RAID 5. This will add the disk to your RAID 5, then you will need to adjust the partitions in Windows once it is completed.
