  OLA Pessoal,

  Alguem poderia por gentileza me explain a difference wave São aplicadas essas may e no momento da Criação uma VM no ESXi?

  Lazy available zero thickness;

  Provision of thin.

  Obrigado

  Discos sao thick discos totally alocados not store data or seja, to você criar um disco thick com 20 GB, ele will occupy 20 GB go don't do seu datastore, a difference between o e thick lazy Zeroead eager to zero, as e no lazy nao sao written zero em todos os blocos disco, o ele ja eager keys zero em todos os blocos disco.

  Ja disco o think e um tipo disco than aloca only the Espaço e timed pelo sistema invited operational, for example, is você criar um disco 20 GB para uma VM, inicialmente ele go occupy only the few KB/Mo no data store, very no momento as voce ready SMS dados no mesmo don't do sistema operational through o dele pode chegar ate limit o 20 GB size.

  Applications:

  Thick lazy disposition to zero: option Padrão para virtually todas as management, Kena as requerem o eager to zero;

  Thick eager willingness to zero: usually used por VM as ARIO use a Fault Tolerance funcionalidade do VMware, or to use a funcionalidade do Microsoft Failover Cluster dentro das Máquinas tolls;

  Thin provision: usually used quando para is provisionar but Espaço than total o Espaço fisico available, very can cause problems is todas as VMs utilizarem todo o Espaço available data store.

• Is active FT disk = eager disk set to zero?

  Is it true that if activation of FT option when creating a new virtual disk that this record will be a "record of zeroing eager?

  Would there be any problem by ticking the FT, even if I don't hear any real uses the functionality of tolerance to failures, but for some reason any disc is eager to zero?

  Yes. Active disk FT is "desirous of thickness to zero."

  If you enable FT for VM with standard thick or thin discs - all disks will be converted to eager to set thickness to zero automatically.

  > Would there be problems

  N ° but it would take considerable time to create these discs, unlike the standard which are born almost instantly.

• Thickness available eager to zero precarious?

  Hi all

  Please let me know that I'm missing something here.

  Http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.VirtualDiskManager.VirtualDiskType.html of document states:

  "A thick disk has all the space allocated to the creation. This space might contain outdated on the physical media. Thick disks are mainly used for the clustered virtual machine, but they are generally insecure and should not be used. Because better performance and security properties, use the format "préallouée" is preferred in this format. "

  My understanding, whether thick eager Zeroed.This of provision is a first time I see something on this type of security records.

  Has anyone seen anything in the literature about it being precarious and why?

  There is nothing to add here - other that "sorry - we will report this to the crew of webdesign.

• Migration of thick Eager VM supplied zero supplied to lazy thickness to zero

  I noticed that you can change the disk provisioning on a Windows prompt to reset zero Thick - Provisioned LAZY to Thick - Provisioned HASTE updated but NOT the reverse.

  So, it won't change back to LAZY.

  Anyone able to confirm?

  No, it was to test why did not have backups. Thank you

• Thickness disc zero lazy vs zero eager

  I did some research on this topic and understand the differences between types and ESX 4.0 will use Lazy set to zero by default for whether to create a new disk cloning etc...

  That I could not find the answer to, is that if you create a new virtual disk according to the 'lazy zero' normal and format it in Windows NOT using the quick format box, wouldn't that force the zero setting anyway on the VMDK level, because the blocks are actively written on for the first time by the format operation?

  Thank you

  R Hinder

  He would. All blocks in 'Lazy zéro' are reset on the first access.

  • If the virtual disk VMDK is a Thin, convert the eager Zerod drive of the thickness using the vmkfstools --inflatedisk command. For example:

vmkfstools --inflatedisk /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk
    
    Note: the command of inflation indicates the percentage of completion.
    
    
  • If the VMDK virtual disk is thick, convert the drive eager to zero thickness using the vmkfstools --eagerzero command. For example:
    
    vmkfstools --eagerzero /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk
    
    Note: the avid zero order does not indicate the percentage of completion.

  1. do I need to run the two commands?

  2 will. that affect data on these discs?

  Hello.

  The disc is not thin provisioned (thinProvisioned = false), then the command ' vmkfstools - inflatedisk ' is not necessary.  Running the ' vmkfstools - eagerzero "command should not affect all data on the disk, but it is always a good idea to make sure that you have a backup before you run all disk commands.

  Good luck!

• provisioned size disabilitato

  Hello to all,

• Thickness as Thin provisioned disks

  I had a strange situation this morning and I hope someone can shed some light for me.

  I have a virtual server with several big (300 GB and 200 GB) HARD drive.  The two HARD drives were created as thick put in service, as I recall they show also thick configured in the properties of the server.  The data is stored on an iSCSI SAN.

  This morning, I came to find one of my virtual servers had been frozen as he had ' not enough space to write.  I looked in the store and found the property that the disks have been configured in thick they are infact behave more like thin disks.  In the store, they show that 110 and 202 instead of 200 GB and 300 GB.

  Any thoughts?

  The screen capture, it seems that your VM has 3 virtual disks (~ 256GB, 60GB, 350 GB). The size of the snapshot files (the screenshot doesn't show timestamps), I guess that there has been a problem some time ago (one of the snapshots already is ~ 67 GB in size) with delete snapshots after a backup operation.

  You must take immediate action to get rid of snapshots! However, to know whether to save just delete catches instant in the Snapshot Manager (it can currently not display any shots even if you have a little) I need to know what version/buils of ESX (i) you are running and the amount of free space on the drive you have on data stores different (the virtual disks are located on different data stores)!

  Currently, the virtual machine works without problems?

  Please join (not paste) the last file vmware.log file for the virtual machine (see the screenshot).

• Is there a way to see the disk space actually used against provisioned size 3.5?

  Hi people,

  I don't know that this has probably developed.

  I need to find the amount of real disk space is used by the virtual machine rather than its set size in service.  I make this point to the direction for the upgrade to Vsphere 4 by using a provisioning.

  Y at - it a script/app that could do it quite easily.

  Kind regards

  Rick

  RVTools is an excellent tool for ESX Admin to have and he has a lot of features, you can enjoy and Details of the data store is also part of it.  Check out great tools free http://www.robware.net/

• About update software - where is more readily available update file size indicated?  I have satellite internet (paying for GBs), live in a very rural area and need to plan the best cost/speed efficient location to perform the task.

  It's painful.  I thought I posted question already in the first search bar.  I don't understand why Apple in the description of software update in short does not show the size of the file.  I live very rural, have internet satellite and pay for GBS; I have to plan where it will be more cost effective speed. Am I missing a quick and easy answer?

  Also, can you recommend a management updates software APP where I can set the time to start and complete the download and installation. 02:00-08:00 Eastern time zone.  Thank you.

  as for your last question, no. I wouldn't use anything else that what already came with my mac to facilitate this.

• Novell GroupWise 2014

  I'm looking to start a new SLES 11 SP3 / server OES 11 SP3 on my server ESXI 5 works in 2014 of GroupWise.

  I'm sure that the server its self should be thin, but I was wondering what type of supply to drive, the NSS, which will store my GroupWise system that will give you the best performance.

  Also we have only 25 users, so I was wondering what would be a good configured as a virtual server (number of processors / cores / Ram).

  Thank you

  Ken

  Ken,

  Because GroupWise is all I/O I'd be eager to thick available zero readers. This way it will be already be put in service, so no extra fresh General when space is needed. Any loan will be there.

• 6 - physical disk space - where she went from ESXi

  I use products VMWare 10 years and more, most of this being VMWare Workstation.  On my laptop (500G HD), I currently have about a dozen virtual machines of the 2012 to Windows XP for testing server.  I also have dozens of snapshots.  If I look at my physical disk used space, the foregoing takes 330G of space.

  I decided to buy a dedicated device and create an ESXi environment that more closely reproduce my customer environments.  I have a HD 500G with 16G memory on an i7 platform.  I downloaded the iso of ESXi, created a bootable USB key and installed.  Connected with vSpere Client and started installing VMWare customers.  After my 6th VMWare guest, I had 65G of free space left.  I installed the following

  4 Server HD 2012-60G each

  1 Windows 8-40G

  1 Windwos 7 = - 40G

  Even if all the virtual HD prealloue were (I don't believe that they are), the foregoing would be only = 320 G.

  If I look at vSpere, it says that I have a capacity of 458G with only 65G left.

  Thus, the question, it seems that its allocation of space for HD and with fees generals, I can see where the above figures comes, but is one of the benefits of virtualization to share the resources.  It is a framework in ESXi that does NOT allocate all the space when you create a virtual guest.

  When you work with work stations, it will create the files on disc as a provisioning. The default value in vSphere is to create disk thick available zero lazy. It will allocate all the space of the disk if you don't have a disk VAAI system api. When you create environments on your computer and ESXi is installed make sure you thin when, available when setting up servers or it will fill up fast.

  You will be able to choose the layout thin when you select the size of the disk when you create virtual machines in ESXi. There are 3 options thick available zero lazy, thick available zero willing and thin provision.

• Increase in the size of the number disc scratch thick eager

  As I increased the size of the disk of thickness eager to zero, and after that he changed to lazy thickness to zero. Why is it changed. Anyone who knows this problem.

  This problem occurs if the values are not updated in vCenter Server, this article talks about it: VMware KB: space Provisioned may seem incorrect in vSphere client view of the inventory of Virtual Machines and the solution to this KB, that's what you already have.

  BUT, you can reload the .vmx withou delete the virtual machine inventory, take a look here: VMware KB: reload a vmx file without removing the virtual machine to inventory

• Convert PowerCLI ESXi 5.0 thick eager lazy zero at Z fails

  If you can I suggest that you upgrade to 5.8 PowerCLI (works perfectly with vCenter 5.5 and 5.5 VUM) and then you'll get what you need and can be used with your 5.0 hosts without any problem. 6.0 is the last, but the Crossover components are version specific (i.e. 6.0 Update Manager for PowerCLI can not handle the VUM 5.5).

  Otherwise, you will need to use the underlying API rather than the easier to use cmdlets
