Change the Cluster size in drive with VM-converter

All the morning

We'll probably replace our storage environment with that provided by a new provider.

Our current provider has a recommended 4 k Cluster size. So all our VMDK is configured with a cluster of 4K, size happy days.

However, the new seller we recommend 8 k.

So I thought v2v ING our server domain to the new platform, change the size of the block in the Advanced tab of VM-converter in the process, which gives us the system formatted with 8 K blocks.

There is however a Requirement MS that the system drive is 4 k (otherwise it wont power on). Its this little pesky 100 MB partition...

Now comes the rub;

The 100 MB system partition, part of the first drive (C:\). If I P2V the first drive with a cluster of 8 k size I of course get a non bootable server.

When in fact I want actually to v2v 1 drive (C:\). As 8 KB, but leave the small single 100 MB system partition with the default of 4 k, however because they are part of the same disc, and converter seems to work at a disk level and not the level of the Partition, converter just wants to make all that is a problem.

Any ideas on how to accomplish the foregoing.

See you soon

Hi there mate

Sorry for the delay, we are testing at the mo and I could not devote much time to this.

Any ways I cracked it, I was testing on a 2 k 3 box where something like minitool would be necessary to finish the change of cluster size in the C:\ for the reasons given.

But when v2v - ing (with VM converter) a k box 8 or 2012 2 the system partition is presented to the converter as an independent drive and can therefore remain @ 4 k while the C:\ D:\ etc. can be adjusted as required using the advanced settings.

So in the end, you have a system with drives using the required cluster size and a system bootable...

just for future reference should it be useful to anybody.

  • Is it possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    I wonder if it is possible to change the 500 GB HARD drive with an SSD on my HP Pavilion MS228sc?

    If 'yes', I guess I have to go for a SATA SSD if there is. But I have to worry about other specs?

    If 'Yes'... what could be.

    I googled my question but no answers... so I ty Wizzards :-) Forum

    @Lord_Nikon

    In fact, this is not true. As long as he uses a large SSD enough it will be able to use the recovery media. I suggest using a SSD of 256 or 512 GB if budgeted for the upgrade...

    He doesn't have to make a Windows 7 installation USB drive and use the activation key license on the certificate of authenticity from the PC Windows to perform a cleanup to install.

    One of them should be on your PC. The Prodct key is what is needed for installation and activation online.

  • Change the brush size and hardness with CTRL-OPT-DRAG

    It may seem a strange question, but I can not just use the shortcut to change the size and hardness of the brush in CS5: Ctrl + Opt-make slide

    I work on a MacBook Pro with a magic mouse. As soon as I click CTRL, to the tip of the needle, a small box appears (a menu icon) and then if I click, opens the brush menu.

    I'm working on a french keyboard and I don't know how to change this shortcut because I don't need to reassign a key, but a 'action '.

    I reset all the shortcuts to the original settings in the keyboard preferences.

    Oh, and Yes, I select the OpenGL option.

    It seems really easy, but it drives me crazy!

    If anyone has an answer, which would be really useful!

    Thank you

    I'm not sure. Maybe something on the french keyboard?

  • I can't go in the settings of fonts. How to change the font size?

    I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and I finished it sync for my Android phone. I went into a kind of dialog box settings and accidentally changed my fonts and text settings and now I can't read any of my Gmail which is in my account on my desktop - it's too small. I'm trying to figure out how I can enter in the content settings (I feel that I do once I have enter the menu 'options' on the content settings page, but I don't know how to bring up the menu of the content/page settings). I use my desktop PC for work and I can't use it with the font settings and how they are now. I also read where the issues are taken, but no one knows how to find the answers to the questions people are asking. How do we get the answers that people give us on the issue, we asked?

    I hope you can help me as soon as POSSIBLE, I can change what I as soon as POSSIBLE. I'm working on my pc 24/7 for the work and is not helping me when I can't read the emails and I can't solve the problem.

    Thank you!

    Hi Upset2,

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with font sizes in Firefox on your desktop.

    Text sizes really small for each Web site you visit, or is it just your emails?
    Text sizes are really small on your desktop and Android or only one?

    There are several things that could cause your text sizes to seem strange, so I'll take you by a couple.

    First of all, your email page could have a zoom. On your PC, could you please try open Gmail and then by clicking on the icon at the top right of your screen that looks like three lines?

    This will bring up a new menu and near the top of the menu are three buttons: a minus (-), a percentage (that is to say, he could say 70%) and a plus (+). Please click button percentage - this should Gmail zoom to 100%.

    If that doesn't fix it, let's try using the method on your printout. To access the content settings screen, click the button in the top right that looks like three lines. Click on Preferences. A new window will open. Click on the 'Content' button and follow the instructions that you change the font size.

    There is another version of the instructions I just gave you, with screenshots, here: font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages

  • How to change the font size and color in the toolbar Firefox 10?

    I was switched to Mozilla Firefox 10.0 by a representative of Dell. I had been using IE8. I have the Windows 7-64 bit operating system. I can't read my toolbar on Mozilla it is so small and the police is black with gray background! Is this not a great combination. Is anyway to change the font size of toolbar and from the colour? I downloaded the module Amazon on WOW! It's clear as a Bell, but Mozilla is absolutely horrible. If I can't get the editing toolbar I need to know another browser to use cause after only 5 hours trying to customize and use Firefox 10.0 I'm all done. I can't get any telephone communication or chatline support. I was in the knowledge base up until I can recite! And Kaspersky is not compatible. More of a nightmare what I need.

    Because the poster seems to be using the app Mail W8, the thread has been moved to the appropriate forum

    1. When you compose a mail, select the text you want to change the font for, or simply right click on the space empty on the mail.
    2. At the bottom of the screen, you will find the app bar with options.
    3. Select or click the font changes.

  • How can I change the font size when printing myprograms? Printing is so small that it is barely readable.

    Look at one is easy, printing is not. Never had this problem with XP. Can't find anything in place to change the font size for printed documents. My e-mail address must also be changed on my Microsoft account. Where do you do that?

    Just solved my email impression of non-selection "Shrink to fit" and using the icon to print which is on the email, not the "gear" in the top right of the page parameter page.  Now I can read without a magnifying glass.
