Add existing hard drive peripheral invalid... vmx-08, required min is vmx-09

I had a VMDK file and I can't add to the same virtual machine it is just attached to the past.

I get this error.2014-09-04 09_58_27-Virtual Machine Settings.png

This virtual disk has been copied form an ESXi host without converting them. The option, I can think of are:

  1. Add a new virtual disk on the virtual computer and file name of the new virtual disk in the configuration (.vmx) file and replace the existing file descriptor hard name. Ensure that VMware Workstation or at least tab of the virtual machine is closed when you edit the .vmx file, so it will be re-read of VMware Workstation.
  2. Use the vmware-vdiskmanager command-line tool to convert the virtual disk to a format of VMware Workstation.
  3. Change the file descriptor as shown below (most likely not supported, so be sure that you have a backup of all files hard)

  • Pavilion x 2 10-n100na: can I add a hard drive from a HP Pavilion x 2 10-n100na?

    Can I add a hard drive to a Pavilion x 2 10-n100na? I noticed that some models in this range, for example. the Pavilion x 2 10-n107na, have a 1 TB drive. These 2 machines appear identical on the outside, so I was wondering if the 10 - 100na has all the required internal connections such as I could slot in my own hard drive.

    All answers gratefully received. Thank you.

    @Huffer

    I noticed that the manual indicates that it is for some models only, but unfortunately there is not any information about who they are.

    I have to disagree with you and say no.

    You cannot add a disk hard unless your x 2 is one of the special types.

    In the manual, you'll notice that even the keyboard, the coverage and the closing of the bottom are different. Take a very close look at this manual.

  • I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP

    OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.

    How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :D

    You look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.

    However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it.  You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

  • Guaranteed - he will suffer if I add another hard drive?

    I'll set up a law office, and it was suggested I have add an additional hard drive in my Dell computer that automatically performs a daily backup.

    One thing that is not clear to me, that's how to install an additional hard drive would affect the warranty, so I thought I would ask my question directly:

    If I install my own extra hard drive not purchased from dell, and assuming that no damage occurs during installation, is that cancels a portion of the warranty? I don't have a coverage additional hard disk, simply, I don't want to void any warranty on the existing material.

    Hi pudelgrl,

    Thanks for your post.

    Adding additional pieces to your computer will not void the warranty.  Just keep in mind that if you want to help out with a Dell Technical Support, the unit must be returned to the original configuration.

  • Is it possible to add a hard drive to a VM running via a script or a program without using the user interface

    I'll try to ask this question clearly, but I ask that read you it carefully, because I can't do a great job of setting out clearly what I'm looking for.

    I know how to create a virtual disk in a batch file or a script.  I know how to have a running virtual machine to detect a newly added hard drive and format it in Linux, BACK, and NetWare. I do not have scripted this part, but I did it manually by adding records via the UI and then by doing the steps manually to make the operating system to detect and format the newly added drive. In each case, these steps are scriptable with the exception of the addition of the drive in the user interface.

    The only way I know to add a new hard disk to a virtual computer running is through the user interface. I don't know in a way that can contain script (for example vmrun or an API call) to make.

    I guess that maybe I can have the virtual machine to go into sleep mode and then add the HDD in the vmx file while the machine is in standby mode, then put the computer to sleep mode, although I have not tested this.

    My question is, ' can a virtual drive be added to a virtual machine running without using the user interface and without put the machine to sleep, or in other words in a script any?

  • Add 2nd HARD drive to Time Capsule - best practices?

    Hello

    I have an iMac running El Capitan at the end of 2012, supporting up to a 4th Gen 2 TB Time Capsule. The total size of my backup is 1.05 to. Incremental backups take the total space used on the TC to about 1.6 TB.

    Fear of the HARD drive TC will: phut that I, as a "belt and Suspenders" approach, yesterday signed a 2 TB Western Digital Elements HARD drive for the TC and other introduced Time Machine backups. He is currently conducting his first backup to the new HARD drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format.

    The iMac and the TC are connected via 200AV Homeplugs.

    I have two questions if you don't mind...

    Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are ongoing for the same item, with the same 'history', as they save in alternation? What is wise or even possible? As is stands, the new hard drive back up the iMac from scratch so if the TC HDD died, I'd lose all historical backups (they date back to March 2015), with just a very recent version on the new HARD drive.

    The progress of the backup on the new disk, while that connected to the TC, is slow. After that 11 hours I'm only 16 GB to 1.05 TB - it has not yet calculated the time remaining yet :-) I assumed connecting via Homeplug iMac would be more robust than the Wi - Fi for such a transfer of data. I appreciate there are several factors at play here - the size of the files, the indexing of the backup, the speed of the Homeplugs, age / my wiring standard, etc. etc.

    I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

    Thank you very much for any help. After spending only to Mac a few years back I love TM - I have never found a Windows backup system that has worked for me the way of TM.

    See you soon.

    Should I have copied the existing backups from the drive HARD internal TC for the new drive external HARD first, so that two backups are continue from the same point with the same "historical."

    IMHO you do it the correct way back up again.

    The story is not so important after a few weeks and months... If the computer was stolen for example... what you want to do is to restore the computer as is... and what you were doing last year is really little relevant... Even if the TC Gen4 goes wrong, the story is never likely to be lost by the TC Gen4... it just needs the disc removed to put in the work. But it's the current image of the computer which is always the most important.

    We found copy of the enormously successful backups. Although in this case it would have been possible to do an archive... always if you asked the question of what you need to do... Myself and several others here always recommend a new clean as backup being the most reliable method.

    I would have been better connecting this direct drive new external DRIVE in the iMac, the first backup, then connect it to the TC to continue it's incremental backups replacing? Yet once, is it still possible?

    This is a good question... EOP adapters can be very slow. Slower than wireless AV200 are a pretty old standard and the actual speed could be all about 30Mbps down... It might surprise you... and indeed there have been measured before.

    The problem is that Time Machine backs up differently on the local network FC drives... When you plug the USB key into the TC then it's a network drive and the backup will not be recognized.

    Pondini wrote a method to get around this.

    Here see Q18.

    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

    I have not tried... Bob Timmons that's regular shows here has and discovered that it was not reliable. In my view, that a backup is too important to fiddling so.

    However, leaving the USB drive plugged into the Mac and keep the local backup of very good sense. It is much faster and more reliable than the backups over the network.

    If you really want to have the backup on the WD drive plugged into the TC, then I recommend do you via ethernet... Remove the TC of the network if it is too far for a patch lead... you can save the current configuration (export from the main menu of airport utility), then plug it into the computer directly with a short patch lead... and the USB in the TC, the backup will be much more quick... less than one full day (24 hours) for 1 TB if all goes well. Once completed you can then put the TC via the USB back in the network location.

  • Can I add another hard drive to my Mac Pro?

    End of 2013

    3.7 GHz quad core Xeon E5

    16 GB of ram

    500 GB Flash

    Ive run out of hard drive space. Can I add another flash drive or is it better to buy an external hard drive? If external which is more reliable Thunderbolt or USB 3?

    Go on everymac.com and find your model of Mac Pro for a good list of specifications and upgrade opportunities.

    I know "reliable." Limits of reliability are probably based on the envelope model and model also in car inside (not always easy to find) rather than the type of connection. Thunderbolt is probably faster but still a somewhat unusual connector to find so if you are looking for less cotly a USB3 will be cheaper and there will be more models available. Make sure you know that there is a reliable drive inside.

  • Can I add a hard drive on the U840T-108 Satellite?

    Hello
    I bought a Toshiba Satellite U840T-108 and I had not noticed that there was a 128 GB SSD drive. I would like to add 1 to or 500 GB Sata hard drive.
    Is this possible? T Y is the room in the computer?
    Thank you
    PS: I'm French so excuse me if I speak little English.

    I can see in paper manuals s user that your machine is not the cover of HARD drive on the lower side, so for an upgrade low cover has to be removed and it must be done by the only authorized service.
    If you try to do this alone you will lose warranty valid.

    In my opinion, you have to call the nearest provider of Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for advice. Guaranteed valid is very important to not do something on your own.

    Either way, I think your machine has connector disk HARD vacuum placed near the ventilation of cooling. I m not 100% sure all of this, but you can check with the technicians.

    Hello

    All parts can be ordered from local authorized Toshiba maintainer.
    Here is a page with all FSA available worldwide:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But even if there is a 2nd HARD drive Bay, you must check if the Bay contains the HARD drive connector.
    The fact is that not all models are equipped with the same motherboard, but with the same substantive coverage that contain 2nd HARD drive Bay.

    By the way: what you need is a kind of drive bracket HARD 2.5 ". Something like [this | http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/images/TOS-X505%20sm.jpg]

    can I add an additional hard drive to my laptop with the 256 GB ssd internal because the 256 GB is too small for me?

    Unfortunately not.  There is no space to add another disk in a 15-inch laptop.

    What you can do is swap the 256 GB SSD m2 for a 512 GB SSD m2.

    It is only if you are willing to take the risk to disassemble the laptop, possibly damage and void the warranty. The SSD m2 is not a replaceable unit.

    Once it is installed, you can use the usb recovery media you created to install the operating system in the new SSD. Cloning to the new SSD is not an option available as type a SATA SSD. I have not seen any usb cables M.2 SSD to date.  

    I just found out that usb SSD M.2 canbles are available. If cloning is viable.
