Cannot extend the disk in virtual machines on ESXi4.1

Hi people,

Sorry if its posted in the wrong forum. I am unable to extend the VM disk but its having enough space I added it drive. The problem here is one of the disks are having 2 C and D partition on the same drive / same vmdk. Therefore, it is possible to expand the D drive shows unallocated after adding the space. I know through Standalone VMware converter 5.0 we can resize. If any other option other than that. Any help on this will be appreciated. Please see the screenshot.

Thank you

vmguy

Hello.

I have met many of them, and Converter is the best way to address them. When c is first, you can copy other data readers to new VMDK, but Converter is often easier and faster than that.

Good luck!

  • Cannot run the application: Java Virtual Machine cannot be loaded. Class not registered

    I want to launch the TI Flash Studio program on my computer windows 7, but the above error when I try to open the program, when I download the suggested 'Virtual Machine' I get another error message that says that the 'Virtual Machine' is not compatible with windows 7, how can I solve this problem?

    Hello hallaman3,

    I did not find TI Studio listed in the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. I suggest that you contact TI to see if they have an updated version.
    I found a new version of TI connect to be compatible with Windows 7. Not sure if you need it for TI Studio.

    You can also try compatibility mode.

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    Use the following steps:

    (1) right click on the program

    2) click Properties

    3) click on the Compatibility tab

    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:

    1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.

    Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.

    2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    I hope this helps.

  • I get an error "the disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state. Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again. "during the installation of XP mode.

    I have Win7 Pro SP1 x 64.  I downloaded WindowsXPMode_en - us.exe (from Microsoft downloads) and run it.  The installation seems to work OK (I've specified a different location for the parent virtual hard disk file).  Then, installation happening and I provide the information requested (name of user and password for the XP Mode), updates Windows and OK to the issue of sharing.  The installation program then reports the following error:

    The disk hard virtual parent is in a saved state.  Discard the saved state or stop the virtual machine and try again.

    I get the error even if I try manually configure XP Mode (use the Setup Wizard).  I downloaded the installer XPMode (3 times) and reinstalled several times, always with the same result.  If it helps, I can't locate anywhere .vsv file.

    Any idea what's going on?

  • How im can extract the value of the persistence of virtual machine disk?

    Dear friends

    How im can extract the value of the value of the persistence of disks of virtual machines?

    IM using the bellows of the order, I have a if to check if the disks are independent or not

    but im only want values of the persistence of the column to use in my script

    Get-disk hard - vm machine01

    CapacityGB persistence Filename

  • How to remove the msg: "consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary."

    Hi all

    I implement vSphere 5, and I have the following message displayed in the vCenter (virtual machine Summary tab). Does anyone know how to remove the message without consolidating the snapshot?
    ----------------------------------------------------
    "Consolidation of disks of virtual machines is necessary."
    ----------------------------------------------------

    I think vCenter is detect the Delta for this virtual machine and warning me that I have to consolidate the snapshot. However, I do not want to consolidate the snapshot because the database is still running when the snapshot was taken, and there is a great chance that the data will be corrupt when I consolidate this delta disk file.

    I looked towards the top of the Knowledge Base, but it does not say how to stop the message without actually consolidate the snapshot.
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Instant KB:2003638 in vSphere consolidation 5
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2003638
    ----------------------------------------------------

    Thanks for you information in advance!

    < environment >

    -VMWare vSphere 5 ESXi
    -VMWare vSphere vCenter 5
    -NetApp storage

    the message will disappear as soon as snapshots are consolidated.  There is no way to remove the message otherwise.  Just think of it as a reminder that the snapshots should be engaged.

  • The substitution of parameters of the device when the cloning of virtual machines?

    Hello

    I'm trying to find out how I can substitute the disk space for a HARD drive or the network for an adapter in the cloning of virtual machines.
    I thought it should be in the VirtualMachineCloneSpec, but it doesn't seem to be an option for him. I forgot something?

    Thanks in advance.

    So it turns out that the code was perfectly fine, the problem is that in my lab I have always tried setting disk space on something weaker than what it was before that does not work.

    Thought, after verification of the documentation for Set-disc hard, as I wanted reconstruct this cmdlet to see what he's doing: Set - hard - drive vSphere PowerCLI cmdlets reference

  • Difference between the hosts and virtual machines

    Happy new year!

    I guess that's a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to it.

    I created pools from VM. Some jobs in the pool are hosts and some virtual machines. What is the difference between the hosts and virtual machines. I thought I could only create virtual machines, but I guess I could create hosts as well. -What happened?

    Thanks for your help.

    where does say desktops are hosts?  A host is usually referring to an ESXi server.  A virtual machine is just the guest OS running on the host computer.  A pool is a group of VMs that can extend over several hosts.

  • looking for a script to the list of virtual machines by datastore

    Someone at - it a script that lists each data store, then the virtual machines that are on it. Or maybe the list all virtual machines and data store or data warehouses is located in the virtual machine?

    Thank you

    This should do the trick for you.  In fact, it extends the computer object complete virtual with a property data store so you can still search the other aspects of the virtual machine.

    Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_.} {Name - like "DMX *"} | {ForEach-Object

    $dsname = $_. Name

    $_ | Get - VM | {ForEach-Object

    $($_ | Add - Member MemberType NoteProperty-name of store data-value $dsname - PassThru) | Select-object Name, host, Datastore

  • Report on the ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster

    We started to evaluate Foglight for capacity planning and evaluation. One of the reports that I believe is interested in our leadership is the "ability of virtual machines VMware Cluster" report. I see that the report provides a value for the VMS remaining. I would like to learn a little more about this value and how is it calculated:

    1. What exactly a 'virtual machine' represents in these reports?
    2. Can a similar report to run using a specific type of server based on the allocation of resources or patterned after an existing VM wokload?

    We are a small, medium and large VM offering based on the allocation of resources. I would like to change the report to display the number of each type of virtual machine I have available... or pointer pointing to an existing virtual machine, and according to its resources and workload, determine how this server, I have available.

    It is based on the average size of the virtual machine in the cluster.  If you look at the dashboard of capacity management in the user interface, it can give you more details by cluster.  It is based on the average of the use of min/max/AVG across all virtual machines in a period given (usually 90 days).  This can not be changed today, but there is work to allow lets you specify a size of slot for something as small, medium, large, etc...

    This feature exists in the Foglight for virtualization, however Standard Edition.  It might be interesting to watch this, if you need it sooner.

  • Report on the number of virtual machines by datastore

    Hello

    request for expert assistance.

    The following query gives you so all virtual machines on the specified data store

    Using the following mandatory input parameters:
