  • Analytics data drive free space is less than 15% > Vcops begin the deletion of data

    Hello

    I'm new to vCOps, please bear with me.

    We have vCOps running in a configuration of test for about half a year now. Recently, he has been given these administrative alerts on the virtual analytical computer:

    «Storage disk (/ data) of free space is less than 15%.» vCenter Operations Manager will start the deletion of data to recover disk space. To avoid the automatic deletion of the data, add an additional drive.

    I was looking into that, but I can't understand what data are removed or how vCOps chooses to delete data.
    For example, VM Analytics metric history goes back only 3 weeks, some metric hosts history goes back to early August. Another metric story hosts return early September.

    So I guess that vCOps has been clear data to recover disk space, but...

    Is there a logic on what data are removed?

    Is there a documentation on that?

    We have 110 guests and about 1250 VM. What is the recommended size of the unit of storage/data?

    Thanks in advance.

    It will be cleaning older data of historical metrology.

    But if your installation is that fresh, more likely of allocated disk space is less than the recommended size.

  • Much less free space on the E drive as primary drive C on Office Pavilion Elite m9250f

    Running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2, 64-bit

    I have 334 free 455 GB GB on my C drive but only 121 GB free on 465 on my E drive (which is used for backups).

    Free space on each should not be about equal?

    There is an initial "backup" on the E drive which dated from 05/07/11.  Then, there are all these backup files to daily from this date forward until a few days ago when I turned off automatic backups.   Recently, I made some changes to our home wireless network, which includes another computer.    Is it possible that backups of recent flag (in the last weeks 1-2), who are so much larger size than the older, were also back up another computer on our home network?

    How can I create a new initial backup set, so that I can delete then 05/07/11, and all its subsequent daily backup files?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    No, normally they cannot be equal. It depends on how do you backup, how the product compresses files... As you said, you keep backup copies more on D: D: must therefore more space. For the last few weeks, you can change your files more therefore the system must save more...

    To be on the safe side, you can create a new backup (use of different name) from the beginning and remove the old backup when you are satisfied with the new.

  • my C drive hard every shot has just 1.11 GB of free space

    I barely put a dent in the space back. I deleted the unused programs, did a disk clean up, and he says that I don't have enough space to run a defragmentation. is there something else I can do? I am running windows xp home edition with service pack 3.

    Please answer the following questions:

    1. What is the hard drive?

    2. how much free space there earlier (before the change suddenly)?

    3. do you have access to an external hard drive? (If not, get one!)

    4. do you have Zone Alarm installed? If so, which version?

    5. do you have enabled hibernation?

    6. have you emptied the Recycle Bin and temporary files? If this is not the case, see the following page:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/app_disk_cleanup.mspx?mfr=true

  • I ran out of free space on the hard drive how can I free up space

    My pc is freezing or locking up when I run a desktop wallpaper animated, so I defragment a saw that I was up to 20% freespace

    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.

    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.

    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 the error occurred initially do not use this option.

    If more than one person uses the computer and they have their own user log you need to run Disk Cleanup in each user profile that you want to delete all the unwanted files.

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • Free space on my hard drive has all of a sudden diminishedfrom 50% to 10%, what happened?

    Free space on my hard drive has suddenly (within a week) has declined from 50% to 10%. I used disk cleanup and defragmentation - but it did not help.

    Hi williamvmcb,

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. According to the problem description of free space on the hard drive is reduced by itself.

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Run the disk check to check for possible errors.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: If bad sectors are found in the hard drive, then it could try to repair. If you have any data on that, it can get lost.

    Method 2: Performs a search using the Microsoft safety scanner.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.

    Thank you.

  • Free space on hard drive shown incorrectly

    My drive C (SW_Preload) has about 200 GB of space. When I click on 'Computer' in windows Explorer, it says that the total free space is 20 GB of used space 180 GB IE. However, when I select all folders and files on my C drive and select properties it shows the total size on disk is only 70 GB. I don't have this with the other readers (Lenovo and SERVICEV003).

    Does anyone know why this is so? My basket is empty and runnign short space when I know that there is still plenty of space on the drive (the laptop is only 3 months and I copied only 1-2 records this to that).

    Hello Hitchkee,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forums for Windows Vista. I hope you do well.

    To reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, you can use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need. Follow the link below for more details:

    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/1264bc24-72a8-48AA-84e3-a355327139d91033.mspx

    There are a number of issues that contribute to the difference:

    Hidden and system files -Windows Explorer display above was using the default settings that do not display the files marked as 'hidden' or 'system', and therefore, they are not included in the calculation. Change this setting increases the "size on disk" by about 7 gigabytes that all the hidden files on my machine have been included in the calculation. In particular, which included the system pagefile and hibernation, which are large file and marked as hidden.

    To change the settings, you can follow the steps below:

    Start Windows Explorer, and then:
    Click on the Tools menu
    Click the folder menu item Options...
    Click the view tab
    In the advanced settings list, scroll down until you see the hidden files and folders and Hide protected operating system files.
    Make sure that the hidden files and folders is selected. I also uncheck Hide operating system files - for the same reason protected: I don't want to hide it from me, the Windows files.

    Directories - directories, or lists and indexes of files on your machine are not the files themselves, but they don't take place.

    The Table of Allocation of file or the master file Table - FAT itself, Hall of Fame of FAT file system, is actually pretty low. The MFT, however, used in NTFS file systems is also stored on the disk but not visible as a file. It defines where the used and free space on a drive is actually. Depending on the size of your drive, your files and the size of the allocation unit, the MFT can be quite large.

    The log file - this is a file, but even once, you won't see it. It's NTFS internal data.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Is there a problem if I extend my drive c with any free space?

    I have a 750 GB HDD partitioned into 5 seats, namely

    c:---75 GB
    F:---200 GB
    G:---150 GB
    H:---150 GB
    I:---103 GB
    but since I have only 10 GB of free space left in my c: drive I want to extend my c drive but I don't have a copy of my windows, so I want to increase my c drive without format my drive c. any body can help?

    The essential point is that the only way to extend a drive is that it cannot be that in free space is contiguous to the partition that currently hold the drive C. open disk management and in the lower pane confirm what partition is now to the right of the C partition. This is the one, in that you have to remove or change in order to provide a space for drive C to expand.

    Although the disk manager has the ability to shrink a partition it will reduce only the right side at the end of the score but you need initially left space to the partition. If you can, as suggested by the most simple is to back up the content, delete the partition, extend the C drive, the quantity required and if any space flying over creating a new partition to restore the data.

    You can also download MiniTool Partition Wizard , that allows you to define which end of a partition to shrink. However, the partitions on an active system manipulation it has its risks and it is strongly recommended that you perform a backup anyway before you start.

    An option may be to move some of the files currently on the C drive on another drive. Although you can not move the whole user profile easily many key issues that often take up excessive space can be moved, particularly music, photos and Documents folders can be moved using a utility provided in Windows.
