Dell external DAS doesn't format disk space

I have a PE of 1950 with a Perc6 double 73 GB drives running. Then I have a dual card Perc5 w / external SAS connector. its connection to a 15 multi-plate 1 TB sas. I have install the array with raid 0 to 15TB, I bootup VSphere and analyze the bus and he finds the table to 15. When I goto add storage, it shows the LUN and the 15 TB of space, but when I get to the box format, it shows that there are only 932 GB available. If I format in any case one of my records in the table disconnects!

I went back and created a new RAID5 volume this time, initialized, entered the Vsphere and I see 13 available to, which is the same as that reported by the RAID configuration. I goto format it and again, 932GB available, I format and another player goes into offline mode in the table.

Basically, it seems that vsphere ignores the virtual disk created by the raid card. I have seen this in boxes from the bottom white with sata controllers when he ignores the raid configuration, but it is a complete dell configuration and everything should not have a problem.

My only guess is that something with having 2 controllers perc could be the problem... anyone else think what anyone would be appreciated.

ESX (i) currently has a limit of 2 TB LUN (specifically it's 2 TB - 512b).   If the controller is supported, you can create several bays on the disks.  Once you present for ESX (i) you can join them with extensions.  You will always be limited to 2 TB VMDK files (assuming that you choose a block size of 8 MB when formatting the data store).   What you plan to do with storage?

    I need help with disk cleanup, please.

    Note: If you try to free up disk space, Disk Clean-Up is not the only way to do it. Ask if you want more ways to clean up your drive diisk.

    Addressing your question, the disk cleanup cannot free a lot of space if you liked - it varies the amount of temporary files are on your PC. If it doesn't increase disk space, it is not a major problem.

  • Eraser 6 does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the necessary permissions

    Gum does not work on my unused disk space. It is said that it doesn't have the required permissions. I tried running as admin as troubleshooting told me, but it still does not work? What I am doing wrong.

    The reason why it is not working is that even if you close the gum and reopen it as a Director he is still a running process (which was not stop when you closed the gum) in the background without administrator rights.

    The solution is to ctrl-alt - del-> windows-> processes Task Manager.

    Kill the process called 'eraser.exe', and then you restart gum as an administrator.

    Thus, the background process will win also rights administrator.

    It worked for me :)

  • Photo library takes more space on an external drive on the boot disk.

    All of my library of Photos takes about 370 GB of space on the disc to start my computer, but when I moved it to an external, the entire group is about 670 GB. While not an immediate concern, I would like to know why there is that much of a size difference.

    Hard to say since you provide nothing except a problem - a wild guess is that you migrated from iPhoto and moved to the library of Photos for the EHD breaking hard links which allowed them to share the same original and previews ( Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries ) and iPhoto - if it's that time they each need their copy doubling storage needs

  • Backup to external hard drive on iCloud > > used internal hard disk space

    Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

    I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

    Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

    The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

    Thanks for any information you have.

    Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

    I seem to be OK with a single page at low resolution in B & W - 150 dpi but not more than a few pages to this resolution, or even a single page to a higher resolution and the error message is thrown upwards and will not save the file. Clearly I'm not memory hard drive because there is a lot of space and I tried recording on multiple disks.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    p.s. Check to you sure it is C: and D: not that you get the message on.

    D: drives are normally the recovery Partitions, are 5-15GBs and should not be bothered with except to make recovery disks of.

  • Reference Dell poweredge r530 - increase the disk space

    Hello

    We currently have a Dell Server poweredge R530, with installed 5 hot swappable drives with RAID 5 configured. I need to increase disk space for our virtual machines, bought an x 2 extra 1.2 TB SAS drives to install. What is the correct process to add 2 new readers to the table and increase the space available in the 2012 R2 windows server? Could someone sanity check process below please:

    1. install the 2 new drives while the server is powered and operating normally. (What I have to install 1 player and wait a while, or two disks can be installed directly after the other?)

    2. go in dell iDRAC and confirm the visibility of 2 new readers.

    3. wait until the readers successfully have been added to the State through iDRAC Tracker

    4. go in the management of the storage within the 2012 R2 server to allocate new space for the virtual machine partitions.

    Is more correct? It feels like I'm missing an essential step, it cannot be that simple that it allocate the additional storage space on a live production server?

    Any advice appreciated

    Thank you

    1. the two drives can be added at the same time.

    2 iDRAC is not the best way to do it. Unless this is your only access to the server, use OMSA leave within the OS.

    3. the process is not automatic. Once readers show up in a State of PREPARATION, you will need to go to OMSA, PERC, storage, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 5. (In fact make the statement reconfigures / expansion was the 'crucial step' you left on your list of ;).))

    4. Yes.

    Are your 1.2 to existing disks SAS drives?

  • I deleted all THE files of rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB drive. Total area of libraries: 650 GB still Get Info says I use 2 100 GB! Any ideas? Thank you.

    I have deleted all THE files in my libraries FCPX rendering but have still 1.5 TB of unidentifiable used disk space. I don't have FCPX libraries on my 3 TB external drive. The total size of my libraries is 650 GB (when I add up the individual), but when I click on read the information for the reader, it says that I use 2 100 GB! It does not show that everything is on the disk. I went in each library individually in FCPX and deleted all THE files of rendering.  Reducing the total size of several concerts, but there are still almost 1 500 GB difference.

    I tried to copy all libraries on another drive and they occupy only 650 GB (with no unidentifiable used disk space). I'm a bit confused.  Someone at - it ideas?  I would like to release 1.5 TB that starting to use the new hard disk with only 650 GB and reformat the drive, but if there is some kind of hidden, important files on the original drive as FCPX needs to work properly I won't ruin the hundreds of hours I spent on editing. I hope that all makes sense. Thank you in advance.
