Cannot add space on a virtual drive?

I try to add space on a virtual disk existing on one of my VM file servers so that I can extend this partition on the guest OS and vSphere gives the following error:

Current disc size is 1000 GB and try to add 250 GB of this existing drive.  I was able to do this in the past on this same server on the same drive in the past.

I haven't restarted this server yet but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.  This works on other VM servers, I have as I have tested a few minutes ago is specific to that server VM.

Hi Pyr0TeK,

Maybe you have reached the maximum size of the file. You can take a look at the following kb.

It will be useful.

  • How to add space to the D: drive while extend space is dimm

    After the installation of cleaning that had become indispensable, although my computer, seams now healthy but his unit became full and forthcoming, not only with repeated messages of "Space bass", but also various errors, here and there.

    Among the choices, to increase its space, I chose to increase or remove files to D:. In doing so, I comfortably shrunk C: by 1.25 GB. But the BIG problem is that there is NO way to add this on the D: drive.

    The commands and options in disk management are therefore very obscure and non-understable that, after 10 days of fighting, I'll have to come to your aid. Please do something as you can so that I can add the space unallocated with my D: drive. Otherwise I'm in big trouble; no updates to come; No downloads are possible. I'm sitting with meaningless fight and nothing else.

    Hello

    You can't do what you want to do using the disk of Vista management.

    You can't take a little off-C: and nail it on D:

    And are you sure that D: is not your recovery Partition to reinstall the operating system.

    If it is read this:

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    If it is not the recovery Partition, Vista for you options to > save data on D: > D: delete > C: extend into the now unallocated space where D: is.

  • When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

    When you add items to a project can then remove the clips?  I'm trying to free up space on my hard drive. Thank you.

    Not while you're still editing the project.  When you have completed the project and shared it and are sure that you do not want to do any editing more far, you can delete the whole project.

    If you do a significant amount of iMovie editing you really need to put your libray (ies) on a large external hard drive.  Another thing you can do is to divide your work between different libraries and move those that are not currently on a removable drive.

    Looks like you can't synchronize the pictures located on your external drive.  I need a little more information about your configuration to provide a better answer.  However, we will try to sync your photos through the section of the file through the article below.  You just need to direct iTunes to where your photos are stored on your external drive.

    If your photos are in a folder

    1. Select "Choose a folder" from the context menu.
    2. Choose the folder where you store your photos.
    3. Click on apply.

    You can arrange photos in subfolders to create photo albums.

    Please be aware that the second part of your hard drive backup is
    far the lowest form of backup exists. It is only very
    slightly better than no backup at all, because it let you
    sensitive to the simultaneous loss of the original and the backup on many of
    the most common dangers: drive failure, head goes down, severe feeding
    glitches, near lightning, virus attacks, same flight of the
    computer.

    In my view, secure backup must be on a unguarded and removable media
    in the computer. For backup really secure (required, for example, if the)
    the life of your company depends on your data), you should have several
    generations of backup and at least one of these generations must be
    stored off-site.

  • Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

    Hello

    We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

    We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

    The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

    Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

    The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

    Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

    You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

    If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

    If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

    You could:

    -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

    -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

    -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

  • Cannot add free space on my Vista Partition.

    So, I try to do a dual boot a bit back and decided that I did not like the other operating system, so I deleted the partition, and I now 28g of free space on the hard drive. Is there anyway to expand my C: volume. When I right click on the C: drive, "Extended Partition" is steamed up outside. Is it possible to format my free space. I even tried to create a new simple volume with free space, and he says that there is not enough space on the disk (s) to do so. Help?

    Delete a logical drive in an extended partition creates 'unallocated free space' only if you also to delete the extended partition the "logical drive" was. Now that you have removed the logical drive, you can delete the extended partition. You should probably use tools that show you more clearly what you are doing. diskmgmt.msc not do enough for you.

  • Cannot eject/unmount virtual drive

    I use Windows 8 and I have gotten into a bit of a mess.  Download Windows PE for NovaBackup and has made using the ISO file.

    I first tried to burn it to a CD, but it was too big.  If I remember correctly, I've then simply ejected the CD.
    Later, I was able to mount the file downloaded on a virtual drive and got what I needed for the disk backup starts.
    Now, I find myself with a virtual drive that I can't get rid of.  I think it's related to me trying to burn it on a CD, because the drive itself named CD (i) KB3AIK_EN player.  When I try to eject, I get a message that there is an error the disc is ejected.  I went into the Windows folder temporary Burn and tried to delete the file from there, but the error message said I couldn't because the file has been used by the system.
    Any ideas? Thank you.

    try to do the following:

    Open the Device Manager

    Click the virtual driver, and then select the device

    Go to Properties and clear the selected device

    Uninstalling the driver

    If you want to permanently delete the uninstall option is the quickest way to solve the problem.
