Dilation ESXi comments disc problem!

I have a little problem, I need to extend the drive on one of our servers hosted on an ESXi server, all would be well and truly as the extension seems easy, however society which has already managed the network don't set up the data store on a NAS, this disk drive has no slots available and all drives are full , so we decided to buy a car to fill a slot in the physical server for expansion. My question is, is it possible and are there measures to have the data store across the NAS drive and the new drive on the physical server. Please go gentle for me even if I had some exposure on ESXi and vSphere, that I did not need to go into this deep and now feeling a bit bad that I need to somehow extend an exchange server (which doesn't have a single backup since last year, until I started here!) without breaking! No pressure!

Thanks in advance

I'm sure you know already... but really, really need to back up the Exchange database.  Now.

You will not be able to expand on a store of data between a NAS and a local physical drive.

If the local drive is big enough (larger than the existing Exchange vmdk), you can create a new messaging database and migrate the mailboxes, which will serve the double purpose of it down the old drive and giving you a new compacted database.

  • Allocation of memory in ESXi 3.5 problem

    Hello

    Before I switched to using ESXi 3.5 to host my VM guest, I used VMware Server 1.0.6 to the guest virtual machines. However, I think that

    the VMServer could not allocate correct memory that I specified in the virtual machine settings, for example, I put 3 GB of memory to a guest

    OS, but I found that only 1200 MB of memory was allocated in the ohter handler.

    So I now use ESXi 3.5 to host 3 VMs, ESXi 3.5 host has 8 GB of memory, two of these VMs have the allocation of memory 1 800 MB and 4 GB.

    However, on ESXi console, I found that me, the 'use of memory of comments' are only 450MB and 778 MB only.

    It's really out of my expectation, it seems that the memory on the VMware product management is the same.

    Does anyone know how fix memory use such as ESXi comments will not control the dynamic memory allocation?

    In our case, it is not necessary to adjust the consumption of memory intelligently by ESXi from time to time.

    I have attached some screenshots for your reference to screen and hope that the screens are useful to explain the problem.

    Thank you for your kind attention,

    Raymond

    It is possble to use memory locking of operating system invited in a fixed allowance?

    Is called memory reserve.

    You can do this under settings of the computer virtual (tab "resources") or by using the list of resources.

  • Speed of NIC ESXi comments

    Hello

    I am very new to vmware stuff, but have heard things about it and wanted to give it a shot.  I have ESXi 3.5u3 upward and running on one heart, single processor server (AMD Opteron 64 1.8 GHz).  I have currently two vm is configured (the two 32-bit ent server2k3).  The first of the two works quite well.  I have problems with each other.

    The only weird thing I noticed was that the first server (guest) shows 1 GB/s NETWORK card installed.  The card settings are set to auto.  The second comment server shows 10 MB/s NIC, and it wont let me change it in the settings of the card.  The host machine has two NIC but alone is currently connected, and it runs at 100 full duplex.  Is this normal?

    Thank you

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10V - BD - RE DL disc problems

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10V which includes a Blu-Ray recorder.
    The technical specification know BD - R (double layer) is possible but... also BD - RE DL (dual layer).

    Now, I bought a few discs (BD - RE DL from Verbatim) and I tried to write my movie.
    But the system does not drive Duke.
    Pinnacle Studio 16 know always that I put a disc in the drive.

    I also tried opening the windows Explorer, but there too he know that there is no disc in the drive.

    I'm angry and I don't understand why this is happening.

    You have an idea. Is it possible that these disc have problems with * BD - RE * (rewritable) discs?
    Or is it possible that there must be something configured before using the player to write BluRay (I don't think that, but you never know)?

    I hope that some of you have an idea.

    See you soon,.
    Joel

    Hello

    I also found an info that the BD - RE DL (write speed 2 x max) drives are compatible.
    But I think you may have problems using the disk from different manufacturers.

    I think you should try different brand discs

  • Blocking of the Lenovo Thinkpad T520 disc problem

    Hello friends of Lenovo!

    I've got ThinkPad T520 and I really like it, but there is no question that makes me worried about the security of the data. There is a moment when the hard drive becomes hang for about a minute. This is the rate, usually happens when you try to connect to Windows 7... interface is still active, but hand disk is hang (green led is always on), it seems that everything is blocked because of the disc, but looks like it's doing nothing during that time. There are also some rare cases, when happens when I do work on it.

    I don't know what the reason for this problem. I guess it could be either:

    (a) internal (maybe physical) defects in HDD OR

    (b) there are some services in Windows 7 that allows to hang so long (my Windows directory is about 17 GB! He was already fat after the installation, I'm the second user of this computer, I bought it a month ago, still 2 years of guarantee).

    The hard drive is C300-MTFDBAK128MAG (SSD). You have a similar experience with this computer / hard disk?

    I called support in Poland call center today and they suggested to:

    (1) execute and test Windows 7 mode 'diagnostic' (msconfig) OR

    (2) the hard drive firmware update OR

    (3) send the computer to service center

    Obviously I don't want to waste time, because I use this computer for work. Do you know what could be the problem and what to do better to fix?

    Thank you very much!

    It's weird... The C300 should yield much more information?

  • ESXI 6.0, problem of data store local ssd

    Hi all,

    Yesterday to buy second SSD 240 GB, I want to increase datastore 'SSD' with the second disc, but the process is hang. No warning, no error... but can extend the data store. Trying to

    create the new datastore with second SSD, but still hang processes. Maybe someone has a similar issue?

    I try to change SATA cables - does not work for me, try to detach an SSD - works for me... Finally reinstall ESXI 6.0 U1 with ESXI 6.0 U2 - this work for me.

  • A little confused about ESXi 5 startup problem

    Hey there everyone - I read the forums and other documents online for a few days, but I'm not sure if there is a work around for this particular problem.

    I AM running the free version of ESXi 5 (with the license key installed on the host to remove the limit of 60 days), on my own system here at home and it works fine, but the autostart feature does not work for the specified virtual machines.  Problem is that I downloaded the image to install for a few days, so I don't know if I have the latest version or if I can still the 'dismantling' to version 5 who takes support this feature.

    I have pfsense installed on the host computer, and without this startup system, if ESXi restarts or loses power and returns to the top, it does not automatically start pfsense and I lose all access to the House.  I thought I had done enough research and thought I'd be OK to install ESXi 5, but obviously, I missed something.

    If I click on help > on VMWare in my vSphere client, the Client's version 5.0.0 (Build 623373) and VMware ESXi is Version 5.0.0 with a building of 623860.

    I'm SOL here?  Or can I do something to restore this ability?

    The system is not something super special - but I want to continue to use ESXi compared to what I used last.

    I have experience with 4.x to work, so I was really excited to try 5.

    Nuts!

    If there are well-documented discussions that attack my specific version, links to these threads are appreciated - search function seems to be especially 'miss' in the conditions I'm picking.

    Unfortunately, ESXi Update 1 beat auto-start for the free version. However, this problem has been fixed with the latest patch (see http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/07/vsphere-hypervisor-auto-start-bug-fixed.html)

  • Communication with a host esxi 4.1 problem

    Hi, Hello, we have a problem with an esxi host.
    I tell you, since the server vcenter do not have access to the esxi hosts (or ping or whatever it is), but if we have access (ping) for guests of virtual computers that are located in the
    Currently, ago single vswitch in the esxi host through which pass the data management console and the virtual machines themselves.
    Communication tell me that no communication problem.
    Another symptom, I want to say is that from another machine in another range if you can test the esxi hosts.
    A host esxi 4.1 and of course has no firewall.
    What can happen?

    Hello

    Just to clarify, you are able to ping vms, but not the host

    Management of the ip. Try to check again the management ip address,

    Failure of the door and vlan id to the host. Also id vlan

  • Migration of VMware player for ESXi strike SCSi problem

    Hello

    I'm just a newbee with VMware.

    First, I installed Centos 6.2 on VMware Player.

    Then I download the Virtual Machine on Esxi5 U1 directory using the VMware client. (not the converter)

    Then I tried to use the VHD with creating new virtual machine on ESXi.

    But I got an error with scsi controller when I turn on the machine verual. (i.e. apparently guest OS cannot handle the controller scsi.)

    I tried all types of (e.g., LS logical parallel) scsi controller in the choice, but all are omitted.

    Is there someone like a solution for this problem.

  • ESXi 5 installation problem

    I am in the process of upgrading my current machine virtual of ESXi 4.1 to 5 infrastructure, as well as installation 5 on 2 new blades.  The blades are Dell M610, dual Xeon X 5650 procs, 128gig of ram... etc...  VT is on.  The problem I have when booting from the installation DVD, he goes to the ESXi installation of loading screen and is the last of the line: / useropts.gz of loading.  I burned the iso on different DVDs and have used 2 different external DVD drives, I get the same thing on all the blades, any DVD or DVD player I use.  I Imaging it would go through the loading screen pretty quickly, and I let it rest at this screen for some time.  Someone saw something like that?  I've recently upgraded 4 ESX to ESXi 4.1 4 months ago and had no problems.  Thanks in advance.

  • Network with ESXi 4 VM problem

    Hello

    I have network problems with one of my ESXi 4. VMs I have two switches virtual, vSwitch0 and vSwitch1. vSwitch 0 contains the virtual network machine and the management network. I attributed to this network an IP address and I can connect to my ESXi host through the vSphere Client. vSwitch1 contains the VM Network 2 network and the virtual machine, I created on the host computer. This network will not respond to pings or Remote Desktop connections. If I connect to the virtual machine (Win2k8 R2), he cannot ping the default gateway or any other host on the network. I checked that all the IP addresses, gateways and DNS servers are correctly defined. If I put the host in the network of the VM, it responds to the pings and CdR - VM Network 2equals, no dice.

    Thanks for the help.

    Welcome to the community,

    from what you describe, is trying to replace the network cable or check the physical switch port settings (for example the access mode, spanning tree portfast,...)

  • ESXi raid card problem

    I want to install ESXi 4.1 on a map of Server Intel S3420GP using an Adaptec 3405 SAS/SATA card. The card is on the list of approved hardware VMware and I have updated the firmware to the latest version. Installation 4.1 installation hangs when loading the accraid module. I tried 4.0 and in fact, it passes through this part and allows me to go through the installation process to choose the drive, etc., but when it will load, he went from 0% never and just stays there.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    Yes that's correct. ESXi loads directly in RAM with very little disc didn't write that a backup of configuration time in the alternate boot partition. There is no real advantage in execution of the HD.

  • ESXi network model problem

    If I'm trying to deploy a model of esxi 4 I imported LM4. No problem with importing or deployment,

    However, when I deploy the model he has no connectivity ip else VM deployed in its closed working space. I saw that in the properties vmware tools has been set to 0. Other virtual machines are listed as 8290. If a virtual machine in a workspace has no installed vmtools is the expected behavior?

    It is, of course, you need to check if you have assigned good system Adpapter for the model, you must deploy and install vmware tools, then you will get a valid n/w adapter for the virtual computer.

    Kind regards

    Jana.
