• 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.

• 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

  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.

• Using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store

  I am host migration between 3.5 and 4.0, and part of the migration requires me to vmotion data to a single shared LUN data warehouses.  From there on, I import the virtual machine in 4.0 and using the script to migrate the two VM disks at different stores of data below.  The problem I have is that the configuration (vmx) file not migrated and is left on the shared storage LUNS.  Anyone knows how to go beyond this?

  The Script:

  $VMDisk = 'disk 1 '.

  $VMName = 'TestVM '.

  $TargetDS = get-Datastore - VMHost (Get-VMHost-$S.id Id) | Where-Object {$_.} Name - like "PMV"} | "" FreeSpaceMB tri-objet-descending | SELECT name - first of all 1

  $vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Name" = $VMName}

  foreach ($dev in $vm. Config.Hardware.Device) {if ($dev. DeviceInfo.Label - eq $vmDisk) {$diskId = $dev. Key}}

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

  $diskspec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator

  $diskspec. Data store = (Get-Datastore-name $TargetDS.Name |) Get - View). MoRef

  $diskspec.diskId = $diskId

  $spec. Disk = @($diskspec)

  $task = get-View ($vm. RelocateVM_Task ($spec, "lowpriority"))

  OK, I think I understand your problem now.

  I fear that in the current construction of PowerCLI, the Move-VM cmdlet does not destinations of individual data for each virtual hard disk store.

  With the RelocateVM_Task method, it is possible.

  The following script moves a guest at 3 different data warehouses:

  -the. VMX file for DS2

  -hard disk 1 for DS3

  -hard drive 2 TB DS4

  $vmName = "MyGuest"
  $vmxDS = "DS2"
  $osDS = "DS3"
  $dataDS = "DS4"
  
  $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
  
  $vm.Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.Device | %{
       if ($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 1"){
            $osDiskId = $_.Key
       }
       elseif($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 2"){
            $dataDiskId = $_.Key
       }
  }
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
  
  $osRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $osRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $osDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
  $osRelocate.diskId = $osDiskId
  
  $dataRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $dataRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $dataDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
  $dataRelocate.diskId = $dataDiskId
  
  $spec.Disk = @($osRelocate,$dataRelocate)
  $spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $vmxDS).Extensiondata.MoRef
  $spec.Host = $vm.Extensiondata.Summary.Runtime.Host
  
  $task = Get-View ($vm.Extensiondata.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "lowpriority"))
  while("running","queued" -contains $task.Info.State){
       $task.UpdateViewData("Info")
       sleep 5
  }
  

  BTW, you can use the cmdlet Set - hard disk to a virtual disk that is specific to a data store.

  But as I understood what is not possible in your environment.

• Increase the capacity of data store, which with the block size?

  Hello

  I am trying to expand my datastore 2 TB, I added a new lun 2 TB of the FC SAN TB 4 even and there is no problem adding this in the existing data store.

  But the existing data store is formatted in VMFS3 with a block size of 4 MB for a maximum file size of 512 GB. But when I try to extend the data store to select the size of the block is set to 1 MB and disabled.
  The measure automatically takes on the size of the original block or wil he get a block size of 1 MB? There are some > 256GB files on the existing data store and I think I'd get a strange behavior, if half of the data store is 4 MB and the other half is 1 MB blocksize.

  Can anyone confirm that the blocksize wil be the same for the measure?

  I can also make a second warehouse 2 TB one manually fracture the virtual machine on 2 data warehouses. is there any advantages or disadvantages to this approach?

  Don't you worry, add an item to an existing data store certainly will not change the size of the block. In any case, if it is an option that you can use two data warehouses, I would. With two distinct data warehouses that you will not only be able to spread the load on each of these LUNS but also avoid the complexity. With ESXi 5 (VMFS-5), a single LUN can grow up to 64 ~ to without needing extensions.

  BTW, a 4MB block size allows 1 TB less than 512 bytes.

• Expansion of data store which is the best way?

  Hi all

  I want to help you on the extension of a data store. I have a HA cluster with three hosts (5.5 ESXi). the army actually share a single data store where all the virtual machines to run. the data store is created in a midsize V3700 storage ibm. the host is connected with the CF. But I want to extend the ability of the data store. I think that it is possible to do this in two ways:

  -creation of a new volume of the midsize IBM and by mapping it to all the host then developing the data store for the new LUN (extension) created.

  -expanding the existing volume of storage IBM midsize directely. While it is the ability to store data directely is increased.

  I need your help because this cluster runs mission critical VMs. Also, I read in VMware documentation that it is not recommended to use more than one number of logic unit by the store of data that each data store should be in a separate logical unit number.

  How would you propose?

  Can you do the manipulation without stopping the virtual machines?

  I'm not familiar with the storage system you use, but these storage systems are generally several controllers that can be owners of LUN presented to the hosts. With the help of only one data LUN/store you are actually 'wasting' performance, then you can consider to introduce a different unit number logic with the second controller of storage as the owner LUN and create a second data store for your virtual machines.

  Regarding resizing datasore. With ESXi 5.5 there is no more need to use extensions, i.e. to present another logic unit number and add it to the existing data store to increase its size. You can simply increase the LUN size up to 64 ~ to, rescan storage on your ESXi host adapters and then increase the size of the data store in the Properties window.

• I use a 43 in. TV as monitor and have trouble reading the text in the drop-down menu (file, editing, display etc.) boxes. Is it possible to increase the size?

  I downloaded the theme and font size changer, but I cannot increase the size of the text in the drop-down menus. I sit 10 ft away from the TV with a wireless keyboard. Even when I Zoom on the page of the menu drop-down does not increase in size. With the help of a mini Mac OSX 10.3

  I think that the solution is a TV 60 ", but I hope we can find a more affordable solution!

  I think that the menu bar on Mac OS X.

  Hello
  I added more discs to my series of raid 10 expanded the logical volume,

  Thanks for your help.

  See you soon

  Increasing the local data store on the installation disc is not possible through the user interface and cannot be supported. At http://deinoscloud.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-local-datastore-on-an-esxi4/ you can find a walkthrough on how to grow the local data store on ESXi 4.x with ESXi 5.0, you should not use «partedUtil resize...» "instead of fdisk (remove a recreate the partition) to change the size of the score well.

  For information about how to use partedUtil, see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036609

  If you are not sure, please after the release of

• No unit number available logic trying to increase the size of the data store

  I am trying to increase the size of my data store.

  When you look at the properties of the data store I can see that the current capacity is 738,29 GB and the local device has a capacity of 2.73 TB.

  (see image 1)

  However, when I click the button increase, there is no LUNS to select.  (this is the case even when you try to add a new data store).

  (see image 2)

  What I am doing wrong?

  

  

  I'm afraid that there is nothing that you can do without having to reconfigure the storage as long as you use vSphere 4.x. because of the overflow I mentioned earlier (see the KB article) ESXi is only able to use 2.73 TB modulo 2 TB-online ~0.73TB.

  Anything that you can do to use currently unused disk space is to reformat, either by dividing the current RAID volume (I guess it's a RAID!) in several logical volumes with less than 2 TB or reinstall the host - if taking in charge - with ESXi 5.x.

• Increase in size of data store ESXi after increasing the size of the LUN

  Hi all

  Scenario is as follows.

  Remote site with Dell r710 ESXi 4.1 servers 2, 1 Dell MD3200i SAN with 12 600 GB drives.

  Initially when I implemented the San, I created 2 LUNS with 1 TB in each LUN.

  Now, we ran into a situation where we have 1 server which is now need more than 1 TB of sapce on it.

  I've reconfigured the table and now have a unit number logic that I spent in 2 TB to 1 TB and I now need to increase the store of data on the ESX Server.

  If I increase the size he reformatted the LUN whole or just the free space that I create?

  I don't want to remove any exisitng s VM on the SAN.

  maximum size of a vmfs is 2 TB-512 b only. extend wouldn't format the LUNS. Look at this blog: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/26/resizing-your-vmfs-the-right-way-exploring-the-next-version-of-esxvcenter/
