Conslidating multiple LUNS in a single lun without data loss

I have original started with 2-50 GB LUN as drive C and D for a virtual machine.  Since then, we have had some problems with the virtual machine and wishes to consolidate the LUN down to one 100 GB LUN with a partition C and D.

I think that I should just clone the virtual machine through to store 100 GB data and the value of the c: 50BG then attach the drive D: current LUN and copy files to your new partition. This will be a thing of your time if this idea works and I have to repeat the process on multiple machines.

Has anyone found a better way to run this process by cloning or svmotion?

Thanks for the help.

So you created 2 50 GB LUN on your San with the VMDK for C on a LUN and the VMDK for others the lun or have you created 2 50 GB VMDK for the virtual machine in a data store?

If you have found this helpful at all prices please points using the correct or useful!  Thank you!

    Hello Kuldeep,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

    What is the exact error message or code when you say, 'mislead the GPT?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    GUID Partition table (TPG) is a new style of partitioning that is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification. This is used for Windows 8 facilities factory for more flexibility of partition and

    more advanced features of Windows 8. With an installation of Windows 7, the GPT partition must be removed and UEFI BIOS must be configured in a configuration to boot Legacy.

    I suggest to check the following items and check if it helps.

    Important notes:
    Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

    BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Cisco asa active multiple interfaces on a single switch without configuration of vlan switch.

    I was wondering if there is a work around on cisco asa to have 2 interfaces vlan on a switch. The reason I ask I have a cisco asa 5505 and a dell switch that does not support the configuration of VLANs. I set up 2 interface vlan on a cisco asa and when two interfaces are active my internet drops frequently. I was wondering if there is nothing to configure the asa cisco to make this thing work. Thanks in advance...

    Assuming that Dell switch at least linking several interfaces of the ASA to the Dell should translate all media spanning tree protocols, but a bet covering the tree blocking State to avoid a tree covering loop.

    If the Dell does not support tree covering weight then you would be in very bad shape each broadcast packet would be will loop indefinitely and cause what we call a 'broadcast storm. "

  • Satellite A300 - how to restore the system without data loss partition?

    Hi all

    My Satellite a * 3 partitions hard drive * as in Photo

    In the E: partition it is a hiddn folder named "* hddrecovery * ' with a lot of files and a redame file (.html) warns:
    * "HDD Recovery folder *"
    * WARNING! *
    * Do not remove or edit these files and folders.*
    * Any modification may damage the HARD drive recovery system! "*

    The last time I did system recovery using the 2 DVD (created when you first start), it was also * removed the 'D:' partition with all data files *. I'm very disappointed to lose data :_|
    Suggest me _how to make safe system restore to factory state_ * without affecting the secondary partition and its files *.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    AFAIK, restore (F8) image of HDD factory settings will delete all data on the C: drive. Using recovery disks it will delete all data on the local local c and D: (hard disk image file creation). If you have some important data moving to device drives or dvd external usb for all cases. That's all I can suggest

    Partitioning itself has no impact on performance. You can get slightly better performance by how you distribute folders and files on a partitioned system but I would not partition to eliminate program freezes. It's the wrong way to tackle the problem.

    There are many reasons for freezes.

    Freezes occur mainly because the task or tasks require more memory or one that is immediately available to the capacity of the CPU. The solution is to increase what is available or to reduce demand. You can do both. How to do this is much more complicated. It depends on what element of hardware is causing the bottleneck. If memory is limited, it can be simply remedied by adding RAM. If the problem is the capacity of the CPU, you will find that increasing capacity is often not practical to replace the often average CPU processor replaced motherboard, operating system and other equipment doing expensive exercise... Change the hard drive could help, but switching to an SSD is also expensive. If the processor is the problem, then demand reduction is often the way to go.

    If you are resolved to reduce the demand, it can significantly improve the performance if you delete the browser add ons such as toolbars and search engines that are not necessary. Most of the time when you install the new software you will find recommended add ons. You must learn to say no when they duplicate what you already have. Add on can hide malware, including spyware, reports how you use your computer. Do not believe the bland statements like 'works quietly in the background. It's more than one spin. Multitasking may be good, but it can provide performance problems. It translates into a surplus of supply over demand.

    Another cause of gel can be for lack of material, most commonly, the hard drive, RAM wiring associates or defective. These flaws are often easy to detect, but not always the case. You must also make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS and motherboard drivers. They can be updated on a brand new computer if the person selling you the computer is not updated immediately before restore you the computer.

    If Frost always involves the same programs uninstall and reinstall the program, and you make sure you have the latest updates. You can also use Google to find out if others have or have had the same problem. Focus your search by using keywords, descriptions of the extracts may event viewer and limit the results to those within 12 months.  Many programs have dedicated forums where other users may be able to help.

    A gel is often the result of a malware infestation. In this case do not rely on your existing software. You need to perform analyses with software like Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Perverse freezes may be caused by security software. Norton and McAfee are known to be involved, in particular where the computer has limited the capacity of RAM and CPU.

    Poor or no maintenance will result in poor performance. You must have a maintenance routine. This can include compaction (some e-mail programs) and should include the cleanup with cCleaner and disk cleanup and defragmentation. You must make sure that the partitions have at least 20% of disk space. You do not defragment SSDS.

    You must use the tools on your computer to look for clues as to what is happening. More you use, the more you understand what they say. The most useful tool is event viewer, although many users, it is difficult to interpret.

    You will find many sites on the internet promoting the use of registry cleaners and optimizers to maximize the performance of your computer. They are promoted by the spin and the hype. The truth is that their use causes finally grief when you use to reinstall windows to eradicate the mistakes of the system they have caused.

  • HP pavilion 2777TU g6: downgrading Windows 10 to 8.1 showed a 0xc0000225 error. How to recover without data loss?

    I had upgraded to windows 10 8.1 about 20 days back, but now I don't like the outlook and my system also became slow so I thought to go back to windows 8.1. My laptop gives error 0xc0000225. Please help urgently.

    Kkss

    While Microsoft says there is no risk in the upgrade of Win10, because they allow you to believe that you can always return to your BONES and the original installation program within 30 days, the ugly fact of the matter is that the Win10 GoBack feature turned out to be unreliable - and when she fails, she can let machines in a State corrupted - that does not always happen , but it happens often enough to be a problem and you will get no warning beforehand that he goes to the trash your PC!

    If this is not enough, the Win10 upgrade is known, in some cases, corrupt partition recovery stored by the OEM that built the original machine. It's pretty much guarantee that no HP recovery will work.

    You should probably use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state, and you will have to order from HP.
