Cannot increase the size of VD

Greetings fellow techies,

I have an XP VM (actually a model, but he converted to VM so I can change properties) on which I can't increase the size of the virtual disk. I tried a new virtual machine of the cloning and the new virtual machine won't let me not resize the disk. I do not have the shots on this bad boy and I am connected to vCenter w / full permissions so it's not the case either. I know there must be something very simple, I'm clearly dominant so I thought I have turn to you pro of for help.

I have attached a screenie but please do not hesitate to request additional information to better understand my scenario.

Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way.

IDE drive cannot be resized. the only way is to convert type SCSI, or using vmware converter to do a V2V clone and have the ability to change the size of the drive...

  • Data store cannot increase the size

    I have some data stores that I'm not able to increase the size of.  Increase button is just off hard.  Some other data warehouses, I am able to do it without problem.

    All data warehouses are connected to the unit number logic on a NetApp via an iSCSI connection.  I increased the size on the side of NetApp, but this does not seem to matter.  In fact, he sees the extra space when I go into the properties of the data store.  All servers are running the same version being esxi 4.1.

    Most data warehouses are 3.33 but I have some 3.46 versions, but on both versions, some may be increased and some may not.  I was hoping that was the problem...

    The size of the data store varries.  Most of them have a block size of 1 MB.  None of the data warehouses are more than 500 GB.  Mostly between 300-400 GB.

    So I'm a bit at a loss.  I tried to resize them using the vCenter server and goes straight to the server esxi itself.  None of that seems to matter.

    Right now, I'm just at a loss.  I have not really found too much online about this problem.  A large number of documents to make errors trying to increase, but not a lot of increase being disabled.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Cannot increase the size of the volume of windows

    Hello

    I increased the size of the volume in Dell EqualLogic Group Manager (GUI). On windows, I see that volume capacity is 200, but it does not increase the size of 200 GB. After scanning disk total size shows that only 100 and not any unallocated space available size. Is - this 2012 windows bug? don't know where to start troubleshooting. The server cluster connection is via iSCSI.

    I see unreserved space EqualLogic, but not in windows,

    Thank you

    Hello

    It * should * work, but it seems that perhaps services cluster prevents the operating system of new reading ability.  Could take a failover or even restart the cluster nodes so that it can see the new space.

    If you have the support of MS, it would be worth a call to them as well.

  • Cannot increase the size of the VM disk

    Hello

    I have VM, that has layout size of 20 GB - thick and it grayed out to to increase, see below

    Post edited by: vmroyale to remove the Word attachment

    >... I have now the increase in size as a separate partition...

    It should appear as a adjacent unused space on the disk that you want to resize.

    >... what I owe another utility to make for example a disk drive c right?

    Open disk management, right-click on the c: drive (assuming that it is the only player you have) and select "Extend Volume... ». Then follow the steps in the "Wizard of Volume stretch ' to increase the size of your c: partition.

  • Cannot increase the size of the virtual disk

    I do this kind of maintenance all the time. Usually on Windows 2008 R2 servers where I can just go to the VM > settings > hard and develop it for my pleasure, and then add the space from the host 'to hot' without having to reload or use third-party tools 'boot' to develop (IE. GParted).

    We run vSphere 5.0. The virtual machine for this case is a Win2k8 R2 64 bit on a host 4.1. Our warehouses are NFS volumes on NetApp storage infrastructure. It is now the question:

    On the same data store, same OS (2 k 8 R2) I can change the settings on virtual machines to increase the disk space and the others, I can't. It is:

    • same data store (NFS - Yes, there is enough space to grow)
    • different hosts
    • same operating system
    • all of them are defined for Thin Provisioning
    • VMware tools are running and up to date

    For some reason some VMS allow me to develop their hard drive (size available xxx.xxGB) and others do not grow (available s/o): click the arrows to increase the hard drive is greyed out.

    Ideas?

    Thank you!

    Alex

    You can not. Unfortunately, it is not possible to resize a virtual disk with snapshots.

  • Cannot increase the size of thin provisioned disk

    Hello

    I am currently using vSphere, and I have a server that I am trying to increase the space allocated 40 GB to 50 GB. The problem is the option to increase the provisioned size is grayed out and I can't seem to understand this.

    I already checked to see if there is a snapshot, there are none.

    I also checked that the drive is a scsi and NOT an IDE drive.

    I'm fresh out of ideas and google searches return only guides on how to do what I've done, so any help is appreciated. Attached are the parameters of the hard disk, and the Snapshot Manager shears.

    Welcome to the community,

    According to the file name of the virtual disk in the first screenshot, the virtual computer runs on an active snapshot. The Snapshot Manager can not always show all snapshots, then take a look at the data store of the virtual machine to see if there are files... - 00000 x hard (snapshot).

    To get rid of the snapshots, create a new snapshot and run "Delete All" since the Snapshot Manager to commit all the snapshots on the basic disk.

    No, it's not simple.

    My reason for this is to be able to see the full name of the variable.

    Edit: Perhaps sizes of keys to function 'F' is what determines the size of the variable icon. Does this mean that it cannot be increased?

  • How to increase the size of the buffer

    Hi, I would like to ask how can I increase the size of the buffer?

    My problem is that the generation cannot be started,

    because the buffer size is too small by the way I use DAQ Assistant.

    Choose the size of the buffer: 1

    Minimum required buffer size: 2

    so, how do I solve it?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello Chris, can I ask what material you use. Currently the DAQ Assistant in your code example is configured to run continuous Acquisition and thus expects a type of dynamic data. This can be seen by the small red spot known as a point of stress and is shown when LabVIEW must convert the data to a different type. There are two options you can try to solve this problem.

    (1) change the type of Acquisition "(on request) 1 sample" in the DAQ Assistant, he will write your input value for the cDAQ with each iteration of the while loop

    (2) change of data entry strikes at a waveform

  • Increase the size of the Partition

    I am trying to increase the size of the partition of my C drive.

    About 12 months ago someone partitioned my C drive, but the C drive is full and needs to be increased in size. I deleted drive D and it is shown as being unallocated.

    I'm in Diskpart in command prompt, try to expand the size of drive C by typing expand size 22000 but will not accept numbers that I entered. Drive C is 15 GB and unallocated is 22.11 GB

    Does anyone have an idea of what I might do wrong or have I missed something fundamental?

    By using the diskpart utility requirements

    1. The volume should be the NTFS file system. If it is FAT or FAT32, you must convert it to NTFS.

    2. With respect to basic disks, unallocated space must be behind the need to extend partition.

    3. The extension supports simply volumes of data. It prohibits a system partition or starting of extended. This is the reason why the diskpart failed to extend the volume on my 2003 Server system partition.

    4. The partition where the system pagefile is stored isn't available to expand unless the file is moved to a partition that you do not want to extend.

    Other: in regard to Windows 2000/xp, you cannot extend the volume simple dynamic disk that was created on a basic disk. The limitation has been cancelled in Windows Server 2003.

    As mentioned above, there are so many limitations in the line utility diskpart command, you cannot extend a volume easily. So I recommend you to use a free partition manager - Partition Wizard.
