Add the storage won't correct storage available

I use ESXi 4.0 and that you added a new 2.73 TB RAID5 array.  ATER from the server backup, I'm going in vSphere client and you try to add a new data store and he blame not reception that the reader has any more than 745 GB of space available, even if she says that the disc has a capacity of 2.73 TB.  I know that I can have a more important than that, data store as I a what he 1.72 TB already, but it's been so long tht I do not know how to build.

Is it a case where I have to build the command line and if so, is there a good guide to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Try to sculpt your storage into smaller pieces outside VMware space-, and then create new data on the ESX warehouses using large block sizes (8 MB will allow to close 2 TB data warehouses)

This topic comes up very regulalrly - so it should be much info available on the community.

Good luck.

  • Recover the storage available for a VclVDC

    Does anyone here know off hoand how to retrieve valid storage for a VclVDC supported by a NFS datastore?   I can recover the storage you use a VDC using the code below, but cant seem to find the available capacity.

    Capacity = vdc.storageCapacity;
    System.log ("' used VDC storage:" + Math.round(Capacity.used/1024)+"GB")

  • Add disks to increase the storage on Cisco UCS BE6K

    Hello Experts,

    We have a Cisco UCSC-C220-M3SBE and we would like to add more disks to increase the storage in VMWare. It would be as simple as buying another compatible HARD disk (like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148711) and placing him in the available slots? I know that I need to increase the storage in VMWare.

    I think of buying 2 TB storage or as much as the server would allow me to get.

    Thank you

    Randy C.

    Hi Rhandelle, in addition to what said Alvaro, yes it is possible increase of the storage volume by adding additional hard disks. It is also possible to extend the current raid volume, but if you don't do this correctly, you can lose your data. I recommend instead is that after you have added the support of hard drives to create a separate RAID with new hard drives and used VMWARE for you extend the data store.

  • Add the VSA Cluster storage

    Hi all

    I read somewhere that its does not seem possible to upgrade the size of storage for the cluster of VSA in ver1.0? For example, if install us with HDD 6 and thereafter wanted to add another hard drive 2 or more to enlarge the data store, it is not possible?

    It looks like the poster others updated the link to the correct article KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2001339

    VSA 1.0 does not support add more storage to a VSA cluster after installation. You cannot add additional hard disks to the ESXi hosts and you cannot add multiple members of the cluster VSA. Make sure that your VSA cluster has enough storage to meet your needs of environment before you install the cluster VSA.

    To increase the capacity of its VSA 1.0, you must re-create the cluster.

  • When I connect my iPod to iTunes it says the storage overhead but it says on the iPod 8 GB available

    Please help me with this

    Looks like you have iTunes configured to synchronize automatically when a device is connected and you have iTunes configured so that one tries to synchronize media more to the iPod as the storage space available on the iPod.

    Check your synchronization settings:

    iTunes: synchronization of multimedia content for iPod and iOS devices

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201253

    Try the synchronization using the manual method

    The error message really says the 'storage overhead '?

  • 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.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2, with two Windows Storage Server 2003 Standard: How can I add the MAC authentication on top of Active Directory authentication for a storage servers?

    I have two running Windows Storage Server 2003 storage servers in a domain R2 Windows Server 2008 Standard.  On top of the Active Directory authentication, I want to add authentication of MAC address for the access to one of the storage servers.  In this scenario, an authenticated user is unable to log on to the target storage server unless the user is also on one of the computers MAC address accepted.  All domain users will have access to other folders and files as configuration storage server in Active Directory.  I already have a user access to installation by the permissions for folders on the storage server target, but I still want to restrict access to specific computers as well.  For what it's worth the server hardware is HP Proliant DL360 G5 for the Standard Server 2008 R2 and server HP Proliant DL185 G5 for two Storage Server 2003 computers.  I don't want to have MAC address authentication as the main means of access control to the network, only for the storage server a as an addition to control Active Directory.

  • Add the new storage provider

    Hello

    I try to add the new provider (HP P2000 G3 MSA FC) storage for VMware vSphere Web Client 6, then these steps vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center

  • Cannot add the iSCSI storage unless it is formatted

    Hello

    I have therefore 2 boxes of ESX 4.0 and I migrate all the machines to a new box of 5.5 ESXi.  Box 5.5 cannot see one of iSCSI targets that can the other 2.  The only way I can add by using the application client vSphere to add storage, where I can see it, but I'm not able to add without formatting.  Of course, this is not desirable.  Why this storage can be used without formatting?  All iSCSI targets are the same machine, they all were created the same way I can say, so why is it a unable to add without a format?

    Well here is the solution to my problem:

    http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/VMware/Q_27032673.html

    I had to mount the storage using the CLI instead of the vSphere client.

  • When you add the data to the host of the second store it wants to format storage

    I have two hosts ESXi 5.5, one is the main host who currently runs the set of virtual machine from this data store. I would add the data store to the host, but to do so is greyed out on the new server, and he wants I want to format the data store.

    UPDATE:

    I used this thread to solve: cannot add to ESXi host VMFS datastore

    More precisely:

    Try the following command

    #esxcfg - volume - l

    This should show the volume

    To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

    Thank you for looking, sorry to distract. I saw this thread when troubleshooting first. Good day to all!

    Post edited by: TH2

    What type of shared storage using you, and you haven't set up the presentation of the logic unit number for the second host in the same way that you did for the first host? Do you manage the host with vCenter Server, or if you use two autonomous host computers?

    Ah, it is a bit of a problem, I'm afraid.

    vSphere provides only the freespace on a level of data store, not by the hard drive.

    There are a number of ways to get the freespace by hard drive, but none of them are foolproof, as far as I know.

    For example have a peek at the post called Alan PowerCLI: using Virtual Machine disc

    This gives the freespace, but an internal view of the BONE. In other words, it shows the OS partition information.

    And mapping of the partitions of hard disk operating system is not simple.

    A good method, which works in most cases, is the method of Arnim Match VM and HDDs in Windows using PowerCLI

    Of course, I tried to go to the mount point (in this case/opt/zimbra/store10) and quite capable of writing in it (touch, create the file + dir, etc...).
