• Best practices for the Vm disk partitioning

  I want to create a server of Windows 2012 by c:\ and d:\ partitions what the best practice it is btw SQL database server. Should I create a hd c: and then add another hd d:\ all on the same data store. I read that the use of applications and partitioning tools is more metal applications for real and to create a virtual machine two separate readers would be too easy and better recovery or future expansion on the drive.

  Thank you

  Yes, create a separate virtual disk (VMDK) for each partition or volume under Windows. If the workload is light - to begin with, you can leave all VMDK in working area of the virtual machine and then if you need to divide the discs in different data stores you can do it later.
  What can talk you about your workload and virtual infrastructure you have - you what version of vSphere are registered for the?

• I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium, and I lost the original and the recovery partition

  I didt create a disk recovery for windows 7 Home premium and I lost the original and the recovery partition, but I have still the product key and the same laptop that was originally installed with windows 7 copy and now im turning my laptop with a fake copy, how to restore the original copy of windows 7?

  Hello

  You have certainly reduced your options

  The only legal Windows 7 download available is now Microsoft, as Microsoft has stopped DigitalRiver Windows 7 ISO downloads.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-recovery

  But Microsoft only provides these downloads for Windows 7 keys to selling product at retail, not preinstalled OEM product keys (Dell, HP, etc.).

  As you have licensed preinstalled OEM (Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee, if they still have them available.

  Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

  See you soon.

• trying to create an ESXi data store on the local drive.  Configuring the host error: unable to update the disk partition information

  I'm a newbie on ESXi and don't know what it takes to get ESXi correctly partition my drive SATA 500 correctly.

  I will implement a laboratory unit to carry out tests for ESXi and ESXi is not quite correctly the disk partitioning or do not see a good partition in order to create a data store.

  This system was able to correctly identify and configure a data store on a small 80 GB seagate SATA disk, however, this isn't quite enough storage so I swapped the hard drive and tried to re - install ESXi on the new hd.

  I use a USB boot ESXi since and it is launched and configures the card intel pro1000 pci ethernet correctly.  also correctly the id of the cpu and memory.  everything seems fine and he is even able to see the hard drive.

  Here are some screenshots of the process that I go through to make my data store...

  on this photo-sous the column titled 'available' is 'none', also said, under the title 'san identifier' he said 'not applicable' - I guess that's not quite right?

  

  

  

  

  and disappointment - failure?

  

  I tried to go into the bios if there are some settings I need to do to get this hard drive set up... I don't understand enough about ESXi to find out why the drive is not found and configured correctly.  is this a bios problem w / my system or a problem of ESXi?

  pls help!

  You have generally not, but it might be interesting to start with something like a Linux live CD and then using gparted or other to wipe all the top partition information.

• Re: How to create a partition for instant recovery on Satellite A100 PSAA9E

  .. .This can be a difficult issue but I wil give it a shot...

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 PSAA9E and a defined recovery disk.
  In the recovery for the operating system (win xp MCE) disk there are two iso: PEbase.iso and the HDbase.iso.
  After some snooping in the Northeast, I discovered what an enivorment of preinstallation and installation (sysprep) prepared.

  Now I wonder if it can be so simple place the image .tpa from the recovery disk in partition and install it whit a pe that works directly from this partition.

  The only real obstacle is that there is some .inf and .sif PES statically to the installation partition, which can be useful to know what has changed from the original version of xp MCE.

  I know that the question is not easy but I hope that in the expertise of the admins

  Hello

  > Now I m wondering if it can be so simple place the image .tpa of recovery in a disk partition and install it whit a pe that works directly from this partition.

  I doubt that it will work to be honest, I've never tested so I can't say exactly if it will work or not but in my opinion it is not possible

  New laptop model are equipped in HARD drive recovery option, but this recovery works completely different. There is an additional menu that allows to start the HDD recovery procedure.

  Your laptop supports the recovery disk and that disk must be used to retrieve the laptop.

  By the way; I have a Norton Ghost utility. I create my own image using this tool and placed it on the second partition. If something goes wrong with my OS I can restore the entire system using the shadow and the filename of the image to the other partition.

• Bootcamp lost after the new partition (try to increase disk space for the window)

  I have Version OS X El Capitan 10.11.2. Here are the details on my system.

  

  So I tried to increase the space in the partition for the training camp by using disk utility. I created the new partition. But now I can't bootcamp while I restart the computer and hold down the option key. I tried this in the terminal:

  sudo fdisk e/dev/disk0

  p

  setpid 4

  07

  Pavilion 4

  p

  writing or w (tried both)

  There

  But it does not seem to pick up my bootcamp windows. I also tried to restore the mac as early date of backup via external hard drive, but that doesn't seem to help either.

  Here is the screenshot of the output. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  

  Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Configuration of free filesystem disks for ASM? You can use free space for ASM

  Is there a way to devote space for ASM to create a database under the DSO?
  
  I was hoping I wouldn't have to reinstall the operating system Linux Enterprise 5 (Red Hat). So I uninstalled my environment RAC 2 nodes, installed required ASM RPM for Red Hat linux Enterprise 5 and then reinstall 11 g Clusterware and set "configure Automatic Storage Management (ASM).

  I recommend you to visit http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/wartak-rac-vm.html or http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/OracleDB11gR1RACInstallationOnLinuxUsingNFS.php

  They are good examples to configure RAC

  You get this because CSS is not started, and ASM, it needs.

• Disk partedUtil utility command-line on ESXi disk partitioning

  Hi all

  I created the partition by using the utiliy of command-line partedUtil on ESXI in the face of error below:

  
  

  • error: "Invalid guid (0xfb). Contains non hexadecimal numbers
  • Is not a valid guid (fb). Length should be 32
  • Is not a valid guid (251). Length should be 32

  Can you advise me how to solve the problem of the partition.

  Hi Prashant.

  VMFS data warehouses can be created and deleted using the vSphere client connected to an ESXi/ESX host or vCenter Server. It is not necessary to manually create partitions by using the command line utility. For more information, see the Configuration Guide for your version of ESXi/ESX storage management.

  Resolution

  You can use the partedUtil command line utility to directly manipulate local and remote tables of partitions on the disks of SAN on ESX and ESXi.

  The partedUtil command-line is only supported for ESXi 5.x disk partitioning. The command-line utility fdisk does not work with LUN formatted with VMFS5.

  Note: This article is from the principle that a console session is available to the host ESX or ESXi, you're familiar with console management concepts and the disk, and you did backups appropriate before proceeding. For more information, see:

  Unable to connect to a host ESX using Secure Shell (SSH) (1003807) or

  Using the Mode of Support Tech in ESXi 4.1 and 5.x ESXi (1017910).

  If you are not sure of any step, contact the VMware Support.

• ESXi 4.1 SAN System Partition boot

  On the Partition of scratch

  During the phase of autoconfiguration, a scratch 4 GB VFAT partition is created if the partition is not present on another disk.

  At the start of ESXi, the system tries to find a suited on a local disk partition to create a partition from scratch.

  The zero score is not necessary. It is used to store the output of vm-support you need when you create a support group. If zero score is not present, vm-support output is stored in a virtual disk. This could cause problems in situations of insufficient memory, but is not critical.

  For ESXi Installable, the partition is created during installation and is thus selected. VMware recommends leave unchanged.

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  Concerning

  Marius Aulie

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

  I understand what you say, I have created a disk of asm with 500 MB of size using asmtool, so I can't resize using asm instance.

  1. What is the use of asmtool-added option, we can add an existing using this command drive space?

  This isn't for adding space, but it adds the label to the disk partition...
  asmtool - add \Device\Harddisk1\Partition1 ORCLDISKASM0
  >

  2 can you please explain this more, * it could be increased if you already held 300 total asm 500 disk space *?

  Think like OS, you have created a 10 GB partition for disk D:\ example. And now, you create files/folders with size of hugh (as some movies ;)) to drive D:\, so eventually your drive D:\ will fill. This is the case even with your asm disk, once you have used all your available space of the asm disk (that you created through asmtoll), you can not increase.
  By asmtool - create D:\Asm_disks\disk3 500, you assign the total size to 300 from the asm disk. Just as you add 10 GB partition for OS...

  You come to the backup from my point of view: it could be increased if you already worked 300 asm disk space total 500

  I have created the disk with the following text:
  asmtool - create 500 D:\Asm_disks\disk3 > size is 500

  I create diskgroup with
  SQL > create diskgroup DB 'D:\Asm_disks\disk3' size disc 300; > Here I wll use only max 300 size of 500 total. So once I get to the threshold of 300, I can increase the asm disk up to 500.
  As
  SQL > alter diskgroup DB resizing disk "D:\Asm_disks\disk3' size 500; > Increasing up to 500

  Default if the clause you SIZE omit while creating a diskgroup, asm then disc occupies all the available space of the device that you have created by asmtool

  >

  3. What is meant occupation here, not here where we can control the right of occupancy?

  We can control as I explained.
