Directly access the disk in the guest OS windows 2003?

Hello!

Deployed ESXi 3.5 for the first time today to learn more about Virtualization and save some of my servers.

But I ran into a few problems, I have 3 x 1 TB disks with partitions encrypted TrueCrypt, I need to give direct access from the guest OS to Windows 2003.

Isn't this possible?

I've been running VMware Workstation earlier and there you can do it easily, but I can't find any way to do this in Esxi: S?

Thanks in advance!

  • ESXi allows to directly access the disk?

    Two quick questions...

    (1) ESXi allows to directly access the disk?

    .. .and associated with what precedes :)

    (2) Let's say I want to use Windows Home Server as a guest within ESXi operating system.  It formats the disks using standard NTFS that can be read by any Windows machine.  (eg. you can remove the hard drive of the server and paste it into any other computer and you can read it).  How would this work in ESXi?  ESXi would force first all of the disk formatted to VMFS and then have NTFS below?  (so you could not "access the drive except in other machines on ESXi)

    Thanks for any help!

    However, if I create a virtual disk (using VMFS) that even if the virtual disk is formatted NTFS by the client operating system that he still cannot be read in another computer because it is in a 'container' of VMFS.

    Yes, I would say that's pretty accurate, there are a few exceptions of course... but overall, Yes.

  • Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)?

    Hi all

    Can I access the guest from the server OS (virtual machine)? I mean, I would also like to start and discovers a guest OS (VM) directly in the server as in VMware Server 2.0. I would also like to see the graphic on the server management console to manage virtual machines.

    Or do I always have at least two computers? For example, the server ESXi without GUI / frontend access and the client with vCenter, vInfrastructure, blah-blah-blah,...?

    Thanks for the replies!

    Best regards

    Joao Araujo

    You will need the Client or another tool for access (RDP, SSH) a machine separate. ESXi is a very tiny BONES.

  • How to increase the HD in windows 2003 (no contiguous space) of the virtual machine

    Hello everyone!

    My infrastructure are 4 4.1 ESX servers and 1 VC.

    My VM is called "Windows2003. It has a 40 GB hard drive. With two partitions C: and D:

    I would like to increase the C partition, but I don't know how

    (1) using the vsphere, change settings, increase HD more than 5 GB.

    (2) but now when I try to add this new space in C: by using diskpart.exe, I can't because it isn't a contiguous space

    Any idea?

    Thank you very much

    Jose.

    Hello

    DiskPart does not always work on the partition of Windows 2003 operating system and often need a reboot or 3rd party utillity.

    It is not a contiguous space

    In this case it will not work, because the added space is added at the end of the vDisk.

    |____C:\____|_____D:\_____|____Free___|

    You must move your D drive to a new drive, free up space on the original disc and extend the C drive

    Nod is a good idea to partion your vDisks for this reason, another reason is performance, and it is so easy just create additional vDisks in vSphere.

    Normally, you must create a vDisk C:\ and a vDisk to D:\

    |_____C:\_______|____Free__|

    | ___D:\___|___Free__|

    This way you can extend one of them at any time.

    Hope it makes sense

  • Direct access the 4 G/LTE Verizon's internet connectivity-related issues

    During an attempt to access remotely via a Direct access to a tablet with 4 G/LTE from Verizon, we are unable to access the internet. Before the installation of a Direct access on the Tablet, 4 G high-speed worked fine, but once the Tablet has been recreated for a Direct access, we no longer had access to the internet. A call to Verizon revealed that the Tablet has been connected to the system of Verizon, but is was not connected to IPv4 or IPv6, and whether Verizon could not move forward. Are there Direct access settings that should be addressed in order to allow access to broadband (4 G SIM chip)? Thank you.

  • I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

    I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

    I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

    Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

    Help!

    No guarantee but something you could try...

    There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
    that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
    your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
    Mode for these)

    And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
    Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
    success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

    Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
    saved the source files to restore the path.

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Also, Movie Maker 2.6 will work on Windows 7:

    Windows Movie Maker 2.6
