Add more disk space for the ESX host

Hi all

I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

Thank you

Jonathan

You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

  • I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

    I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

    LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

    For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

    How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

    You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

    My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

    You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  • Increase in the Allocation of disk space for the guest system

    I use v.6.5.2 from workstation.  I have a lot of excess space on the hard disk of the host system, but with hindsight I initially did not award a sufficient amount of space for the guest system.

    If you are just looking for elements run back, I wouldn't have selected Vista for guest OS... Probably be much better to use XP Pro (SP2) than any version of Vista... On the one hand, XP uses much less space on the disk and other... You can run XP Pro (easily) on a vDisk 16-20GB... IF you're dead set on running VIsta, then get the Business edition and who perform. I would never use any of the editions home for any professional use. Windows 7 is much better than Vista (Windows 7 is commonly called "Vista done right" within the it community). I'm actually using Windows 7 Professional x 64 on two of my systems. I have a XP Pro VM on my system main for when I need either the software which is only able to turn it on, or when I need to test something. Otherwise, I stick with Win7 these days.

    Vista Home (Basic or Premium) are not exactly the wisest choice for operating systems... Especially if you work on this system...

  • Bootcamp lost after the new partition (try to increase disk space for the window)

    I have Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. Here are the details on my system.

    So I tried to increase the space in the partition for the training camp by using disk utility. I created the new partition. But now I can't bootcamp while I restart the computer and hold down the option key. I tried this in the terminal:

    sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

    p

    setpid 4

    07

    Pavilion 4

    p

    writing or w (tried both)

    There

    But it does not seem to pick up my bootcamp windows. I also tried to restore the mac as early date of backup via external hard drive, but that doesn't seem to help either.

    Here is the screenshot of the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • How to free up disk space for the database file

    Hi experts BDB.

    I use bdb4.6.21 transaction Btree access method, found that after vacuum db db-> truncate, the size of the db file has changed. How to free up disk file db space? It can be configured?

    Thank you

    Min

    Hi Min,

    What Mike says is that you do not expect that the empty space after an operation of truncation (for example a delete or update that empties a page) in the database (empty pages) to return to the file system and therefore to see the physical file size decreases.

    The next section of the documentation explaining this: required disk space

    Space released by removing the key/data pairs in a Btree database or Hash is never returned in the file system, even if it is reused when possible. This means that the databases Btree and hash are to develop alone. If enough key is deleted from a database which shrinks the underlying file is desirable, use the DB-> compact() method to recover disk space. Alternatively, you can create a new database and copy the folders of the former into it.


    So, as Mike suggested, you can dump and reload the data into a new database, or copy data from the existing/old database to a new (to remove the old database and rename a new one the old name), or you can try to compact the database using the method compact().

    If you use compact(), then in order to force the return of empty for the file system pages when possible, use the DB_FREE_SPACE flag and try to avoid using an explicit transaction (use a NULL tnxid pointer, so this BDB will use internally of several transactions that will be engaged periodically to avoid locking large sections of the tree).

    When you use the compaction in order to free up space and return pages from database empty in the file system that it is generally recommended to repeat Compact with a value low 'compact_fillpercent '.  In addition, the following output statistics fields in the structure DB_COMPACT, compact_pages_truncated and compact_pages_free should be examined to determine if there is a point, continuing to run the compaction with the same compact_fillpercent.  If the values are strict positive it is then compact() calling again with the same compact_fillpercent (and specify the DB_FREE_SPACE flag).  The compact algorithm allows a single pass on the pages of the database;  pages so not empty at the end of the file will prevent the free pages (which are placed on the free list) to be returned to the file system.

    Kind regards

    Original title: size of windows 7 the disk

    I installed windows 7, 64 bit on my machine.

    Now, when I go to the COMPUTER, with windows (C) says that he has only 47 GB free which means windows takes more than 50 GB. But when I go on the content of this partition and see the size you of files... It shows only 12 GB, and there is no hidden inside folder.

  • HP Split x 2: not enough space for the Windows 10 update

    I have a Split of HP x 2 (64 GB SSD, drive hard 500 GB) running Windows 10.  I recently received notification of an update of Windows 10 version 1511, 10586.  Trying to install the update, I get an error message saying that Windows needs more space on C:, specifically 8.13 additional GB.

    Settings Windows reports 58.9 gb of 59.2 GB already used on C: which is 47.2 GB ' system and reserved.

    The update program says that I can use another drive for the update and I tried the built in D: (more than 200 GB free) and an external drive (900 GB free), but the update will fail with the same message outside a slight reduction in the amount required on C: (7.17 GB) of free space.

    I had already cleaned useless all the files using the Windows disk clean and have less than 6 GB in applications and data, in order to get rid of everything that would still runs.

    All GB 47.2 OS is really necessary?  Any large pieces I can get rid of, or is the only way an SSD upgrade?

    PeSke

    Only in the last day or two, MS has eliminated a new update of Win10 who, claim, addresses the problems of people said that they do not have enough disk space for the Nov 10 update and when they provide you with an external hard drive, it will not use it.

    I suggest that you are looking for updates and see if it is applied and then retry the update 10 Nov.

    Good luck
