Can I max out space to store data if it contains only a single vDisk?

• Adding space to store data after DAS RAID expansion

  Hello all,.

  I was browsing and found some jobs, but never a direct answer to my problem, so I hope someone can point my research in the right direction, at least.

  I have a server (Dell 2950) with a matrix of drives RAID5 4 direct-attached storage.  I installed ESXi 4 (as a default value, possible stock) on this subject and have used for a while.  I decided that I needed more space, so I added a record 5th in the matrix RAID (via OpenManage).  I am now trying to use this space, but hit dead ends.  On the properties of the data store, when I click on the increase, it doesn't give me a measure to increase with. (See screenshot, attached, ignore the NAS1 data store, it is not related to this).

  From my reading of the post, I think that my problem is that I don't have this new space in my table in one of my partitions.  And since I have already 4 partititions (stock ESXi config as far I can tell because I don't create manually a), I can't add another partition.

  Here is my complication to my problem, I'm not a Linux guy, so I will try to understand both a > what I do exactly and b > what are the linux commands to do so.  Can I use SSH to access a console.

  I think what I have to do is either remove that #4 (what is this thing anyway?) of extended partition and then add all my new space as a 4th partition or expand this 4th partition to incorporate all my new space.  And then I think I need to format this partition as VMFS.  Then, #1 question: am I right on what do I do here?  Question #2: Someone can get me on the right track to find the exact command/syntax to do?

  The other bad news is that it is a production box.  The good news is, I have very good before you start and working out of hours possible backups.  I could just save it, wipe it all out, start over and restore, but that will be my production box down for a few hours for you (in the middle of the night, but I'd still like to avoid this if possible).  I prefer to do over time much less down, and I think that there must be a way to do that, certainly, I can't be the first person to never weant to increase the DAS storage on a box of ESXi... Wipe-out/restoration is my backup plan in case I just spoil the process...

  Any help is greatly appreciated...

  You don't destroy your store of data through this approach. Everything that do you is delete and re-create the (larger) VMFS partition using fdisk. It won't hurt to the data on this VMFS partition (unless you change the boot block).

• How to get more space to store data

  Hello

  I am newbie to ESXi 4.1. Recently I setup an ESXi 4.1 with the data store total 267 GB (146GBx3, RAID5), created 1 Win2008 Std 64 bit thick provisioned VM size 180 GB of disk & partition as C:\80GB, D:\100GB under Win2008, currently only 20,57 GB free data store space.

  (1) I try to create an another VM Win2008 standard 64-bit using typical/custom but max only allow 40 GB, how to get about 100 GB? (C:\60GB, D:\40GB)

  2) can I change existing VM thick to thin to follow steps of http://www.righteoushack.net/?p=419? what a C:\80GB, D:\100GB under Win2008? would it automatically resize so? or can I reduce existing 180 provided thick GB?

  (3) why there are 3 hard files created for a single virtual machine? how hard to remove? (see photo datastore.jpg)

  (4) as the system comes with Quard core 6 GB RAM & CPU, existing VM use 2 CPU4 GB of RAM, can I put a new virtual machine to use 2CPU4 GB RAM?

  Sorry, so many questions.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Kelvin

• It is a group policy setting that allows Silverlight store data for a roaming profile user limited account?

  We have customers that use our Silverlight application. Application off because errors that the software is not able to store data about user roaming profile folder. So far, developers have a setting which allows the application to be listened to, but that makes it real slow. We try to get out of that. So my question is there a group policy setting they are system administrator can setup to allow Silverlight to store data for a roaming profile user limited account? Maybe allow data to be written locally only to the specific folder that requires Silverlight?

  Thank you!
  Carlos.

• several stores data on the same disks

  It's so strange. I can't create several stores data on the same drive. I have a 2 TB plugged on my server (motherboard) disk and after that I created my first store of data (100 GB), when I return to create another, that the drive isn't an option for me to create a new data store of. When I delete the data store, the drive comes as an option to create a new data store of. WTF?

  of http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-esx-4-1/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=fc_san_config/c_making_lun_decisions.html

  A logic unit number must contain only a single VMFS data store.

  I guess the reason for this is a SCSI reservation. Even if this has been significantly reduced in 4.x it is still necessary for some operations. Each SCSI reservation - even if this is necessary for an operation on a datastore - locks the entire disk and could therefore cause problems on other stores of data on the same drive.

• How can I increase the space put into service for a data store in vSphere

  Using vSphere client 4.0.0 (208111) and vCenter Server 4.0.0 (162856)

• RDM use space on the store data or SAN

  Dear all,

  According to my understanding, RDM creates a mapping file in the data store in the folder of the virtual machine, but it consumes all of the space on the data store, but yes, on SAN. I have a virtual machine with 50 GB vmdk and a physical RDM 50 GB, the machine's memory is 8 GB so vsphere client, seems space put into service for machine to 108. So it means that 50 GB of RDM is also included in funded space shown in vsphere client.

  The same look at space of data store, the space of data store configured showing also 50 GB RDM counted in the space provided, where, as the data must be on the SAN, can someone explain why in the data store space calculation as rdm as space accrued on himself.

  Please let me know if my question is not clear.

  Thank you

  As the rdm file uses no space disk (only a few bytes of the header/descriptor file), the disk space is still available for other virtual machines.

• ESXi 4.0.0 wrong amount of space available to store DATA on DELL 2950

  Hi community

  Well, we brought brand new DELL 2950 server, with following Config Hard / w.

  750 GB x 6 SAS, RAID 10 disks configured.

  Processor Xeon 2 x 2.83

  32 GB OF RAM

  We installed ESXi 4.0 and use the vSphere client for management host, our problem is when we try to add "datastore" it shows still only 45 GB of available space, while storage contoller shows good disc size as 2. 0 t, we tried a new analysis and fresh of the controller and disks, but nothing helped.

  Any suggestions on how we should make our 2. 0 t drive as long as the available space for the DATA store? Please see atacched JPG for problem

  Greetings and thanks

• A Web site can store data for offline use without asking?

  In options, advanced, network, web content offline and the user data, I 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode"checked

  And then in the box below that lists Web sites that are allowed to store data for offline use there is an entry "https://forecast.io".

  This site never asked me to store data offline, and I never did anything to him. The website showed there before, I removed it and now it's back.

  So, since I have the box checked to tell me when a site asks you, means that there is not just ask?

  Yes, a Web site can store data for offline use without asking and can do even if you have checked the option 'tell me when a website asks to store data for use in offline mode', because this option does not work correctly. See the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959985

  As far as I know, it does not mean that the site simply "did not", it's just that the option does not work (or maybe only works in the case where the data are larger than the pref in offline mode - apps.quota.warn?)

  The workaround given by cor - el above, must currently off - apps.allow_by_default set to false.

  I've deleted all my iBooks but the phone memory shows 4.5 GB of data. How can I clear this space?

  Have you tried a soft-reset/reboot the phone? If that is not free space you could try to download a little ibook on iTunes from your computer (or if you use a Mac updated iBooks application) and select Synchronize on the phone and see if that frees up space

• How can I back up App store data?

  I need to restore windows 8 parameters, but I want to save my app save data and possibly the apps them selves so I don't have to re - download. can someone tell me how I can do this. Nothing is complicated if you can give step by step instructions.

  Well, I finally found my answer. {Thanks to dingl I was just looking for information about apps apps not metro, and sorry to burst your bubble but Bennet recorded metro apps stores data file is c:\users\{username}\AppData\Local\Packages\{packageID} if you are able to create a backup of your backup data. to restore the file later. It is also a way to app data backup by setting up your cloud services and it will automatically install with your backup files to all the devices that you open your Microsoft account. Even if it is complicated, you can also get a paper copy of the metro app downloads. http://www.wikihow.com/Access-Metro-Style-Apps-Installation-Folder-in-Windows-8 . in any case thanks for trying to help and I get more information to help me look for the answers.
