Error message: could not power on VM: no space is available on the device.
Hello
I'm new to ESX and I increased the memory of the 1856 2048 GB VM memory. What I did not understand where is the space to and how do I know that I currently have and / or help.
Thank you
-Mike
Morning Mike,.
Ooops missed the second part. What we normally do is to allow all the VMS being powered up with their allocations of memory present (therefore VMDK + swap) and allow then 20-30G for growth. This could be an additional memory, disks or storage VMotions expansion.
Kind regards

Could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on the virtual machine.
VMware esx ei, 3.5.0 123629
Physical memory: 64 GB
Hard drive: 1.63 TB
7 virtual machines. 5 of them are configured with 4 GB memory and 2 of them with 2 GB of memory. I am able to power on 3 virtual machines with 4 GB of memory.
When I try to turn on 4th VM with 2 GB of memory, I get this error message "could not power on VM: no space is available on the device: cannot power on VM.»
I would like to know if this is the limitation of the ESX Server? How should I size the memory for VMS if I want to run every 7 virtual machines to the
Moreover, given that I have 64 GB of physical memory. Is there documentation that provides a report of the maximum allowed memory configurable
compared to the virtual memory?
Thank you

Ganesh,
Memory reservations are defined based on VM by VM.
You can allocate more memory to the virtual machines you have in your host (it's not really a good idea to go crazy with the overcommitment of memory, but some level of excessive pressure is used in general). Memory applied to your VM resources are shares, bookings and VMkernel Swap limits.
Just to illustrate:
You allocate 8 GB memory to a virtual computer. If you take all the parameters by default, ESX will allot a 8 GB VMkernel Swap file in the base directory of your VM (it will have the extension ".vswp") this VMkernel Swap file is a safety net. Your virtual machine, at this stage, can consume up to 8 GB of memory If physics is available from the host. If the memory of your host is overcommitted, some of the available memory 8 GB could be allocated on 8 GB VMkernel Swap file.
If you set a reserve of memory - 2 GB - this means that the vmkernel will still award the first 2 GB of memory used by the virtual machine to the physical memory. This is not means that the 2 GB of memory reserved is carved off the coast and completely dedicated to the virtual machine. This means that the vmkernel offers up to 2 GB of RAM to the VM when and if she needs to use it. It is a guarantee that the memory will be available upon request. Because of this guarantee of the VMkernel, VMkernel swap file only has to make sure that the 6 GB memory is satisfied (4 GB total less the 2 GB reserved), so the VMkernel Swap file is only 6 GB in size.
Actions are a mechanism for prioritization and limits are a cap on physical memory ever allocated to the VM.
You can set up any number of memory for the virtual machines that you want - frankly, overcommitment of memory for ESX is a very good thing, but you must be vigilant about watching your systems if approve you. If you have 64 GB of RAM, and you only configure your virtual machines to use total 32G, then you lose 32 GB of RAM. If you allocate, say, 96 GB of RAM (total) to your virtual machines, then you look at a 50% overcommitment. What to watch in overcommitting memory is application performance (and more importantly - perception of the user of this performance) and also the memory ballooning and VMkernel Swapping activity. Those who can both will be in graphics performance in VirtualCenter. I would recommend reading the Guide to management resources for more details.
Hope that provides an overview.
Thank you

Then the message failed to try to turn on,
Thanks for the reply, free space seems OK.
Are you sure?

Original title: the scanner driver update problems.
Problem: I am trying to install a driver for an Epson scanner update. I get the error message: could not copy files. Make sure that the target disk is not read-only.
I'm running Windows XP Home edition. Scanner is an Epson Perfection V500 Photo.
What I did:
- A release with the support of Epson. They tell me that I have the admin rights. However, I am the administrator and log on as administrator
- I downloaded the epson driver update, which is an executable zip file. I right-click on the file, select Run As..., opt to run it as an admin user, enter my password and select run. The files are decompressed, but at some point in the installation, I get the message "couldn't cop files. Make sure that the target disk is not read-only. (Target is C:\)
- Furthermore, I installed this driver successfully on my other computer that is running Windows XP Professional
Why not copy the driver files?
Hi Passport35,
You can try the following steps and check if it helps.
Method 1:
You can try running the fixit article and following cjheck, if it helps.
Diagnose and solve the program installation and uninstallation problems automatically
Method 2:
If the previous step fails then I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.
a. click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.
b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
Note: the scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.
Wait for the analysis of complete and then check if you can install the drivers.

having a problem installing drivers for a new Epson printer scanner all in a WF-2530 on my desktop using windows vista
error message "could not launch the required program during installation, check the installation disc, then re-run the installer.
I managed to install the software on my laptop using windows 7.
spending some time with epson tech dept, after several attempts to solve the problem, they advised that it was a problem with the microsoft software.
have tried to install it on the internet from the site of epson, but same error
any help would be greatly appreciated
< have="" tried="" installing="" over="" internet="" from="" epson="" website="" but="" same="">
Do you mean that you have downloaded the Epson driver?Try using the wizard adding printer in the Control Panel, printers. In the wizard, select EPSON under manufacturer. If you don't see your printer in the list, click the Windows Update button. It will take several minutes (about 20) be patient, Windows updates the list. You should see a hard drive activity during the update.
If that wouldn't work, try to run the System File Checker:
Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7 system files

Fax and Scan Error - Message could not be sent. Media is write protected
I have a PC with Windows Vista Ultimate on it. Turns off user access control. On the sign as Admin will have all the rights.
Windows Fax and Scan works very well for a long time. Had a modem comes to shove, he replaced everything works fine.
In the last day or two - with no known changes to the system - the system is no longer send and receive faxes.
It gives me an error-"message could not be sent. the media is write protected. »
This happens if I try to send a fax directly from the Windows fax software or if I try to "print" a document by fax.
When you receive a fax - it gives a similar error.
It works as records receive faxes are unalterable and, if I look at their properties in Explorer. I try to uncheck Read-only and it acts like it works only when I get back - read-only is still selected.
Other times I tried to make changes to access to the files by Windows Fax, fax settings - but it tells me that I have to be logged on as administrator to make these changes and I signed up as an administrator - the only Director on the PC.
I also removed the Fax profile and recreated. I think that the question is the property read-only on my directory of fax, but for some reason that seems locked on.
I also shot the back, rebooted, turned off UAC back, rebooted and tried to change the settings of RO, no luck.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Read-only for folders is normal (mine are). See if this fix works for you:
Fax Error: The message could not be sent. Media is write protected
If the registry change is useful, please let us know.
