• ENVY of HP TouchSmart laptop 15: local disk D is not accessible

  My notebook Nr is: E1P04AV

  MODEL: 15 t - j100 ABA
  Rev: 1962-110
  CCDI: 0982110000405E00000320000

  I get this message when I access to 'My PC' and click on Local drive D: "local disk D is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. »

  This local disk D is partitioned with local disk C. The two units are on SSHD, 1 TB, Seagate asa series drive.

  A 24GO SSHD is also installed with 1 TB HARD drive, but the SSHD is not visible in WIN10 in 'My PC' (or, indeed, it is this local disk D?).

  During each reboot, a message appears: "fix local disk D." But the local disk D does not seek redress.

  I just finished installing WIN10 and spent the day to reinstall all printers, scanners and software (with hindsight, I shudda treated first with this corrupted local disk).

  I'm going to local disk likely damage C which has the OS WIN10 on him (I guess), if I reformat local drive D? I would like to reformat ALCO D drive while in WIN10 (not in dos prompt mode).

  FOR INFO:

  My fingerprint reader has not worked in the month. It stopped working after I installed the update of the driver.

  Until I loaded WIN10, I tried to restore my inoperative SimplePass fingerprint reader by loading the newer driver for that I downloaded updates from the HP driver.

  Immediately after the installation of the driver SimplePass my laptop crashed with the BSOD on reboot.

  Each diagnostic single HP I ran in Mode BIOS says all readers and all components, everything going ON.

  What is happening with SimplePass driver software?

  I called Softex but no direct technical Support was available. I left a message, no one returned my call.

  I took the chance and selected the option "Format". The 'quick format' restored the local drive D.

• Satellite A200-1RK: Local Disk F is not available after the recovery process

  Can someone help me?

  I have a toshiba Satellite A200-1RK laptop.
  Usually when I click on where it says MY computer I get three things they are Vista C and dvd rw drive E and Local drive F.

  But after a virus on my laptop and the only way to get rid was a full recovery I did OK.
  But after that I noticed that the local disk F is no longer there when I click on my computer the other two are still there.

  Someone can help and can understand what I'm on everything

  Hello

  1) click on the start menu
  (2) right click on computer and click on Manage
  (3) open the category storage and click Disk Management. Here, you will find your partition (s) to your disk.
  I don't know what you have here exactly, but I guess your drive F is localized. Right-click on it, choose, make new partiton, and follow the steps. It will be published.

• Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

  Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

  That is right.

  First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

  I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

  The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

  Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

  If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

  Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

  A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

  You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open the command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

  fsutil dirty query D:

  The sample output:
  Volume D: is dirty
  Volume D: is not dirty

  Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

  You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

  When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001

  The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

  Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

  Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

  If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

  If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

  I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.

• Photos on the local disk storage

  Photos is storage of photos on my MacBook Air even though I have iCloud. Taking up to 12 GB on the hard disk.  In preferences, I 'Use iCloud library' checked with 'optimize '.  Why should a space on my hard drive? Is there anyway for there no pointed out that memory?  I have a lot of room in my iCloud (143 GB) account for storage. I tried dragging and deposited in iCloud, but that did not work.

  The fine print under Photos preferences settings optimize storage includes the words: "Original is also stored on the Mac if you have a storage space."

• Size of raw local disk

  I will implement an ESX environment shortly with 3 servers and a San iScsi for storage. Accordingly, what considerations to do with the configuration of the local server disk. We have up to 10 VM by Project Server and need to know how much physical disk space, server will be necessary? Is a 2 disk mirror or should I RAID. CPU are 2 dual core with 24GO by UC

  Thanks in advance

  If your storage all the vm of the images on the go the local disk subsystem does not need massive IOPS / s.     If I read the original post, it looks like your planning serve the SAN shared storage on the backend, which is where all the IOPS happen as it should.  The front-end server needs memory, so it's not thrash and 24 GB is a good start.  If that's the case then mirrors would be worth to write about the raid with parity prevents him from ever be used as swap.  RAID without parity these days is practically free, and still lets you get bars under him by interlacing.  And with the imprint of esx and esxi especially if small, using a pair of small capacity 2.5 "ssd in each host is always profitable and much more predictable than a pair spindles.  Just stay away from anything without cache on disk or with a jmicron controller

• Reduced block size but no big change on the disk storage

  Hi all
  
  This is my first post on this forum and I hope that I won't have any rule of Recommendation to report a question completely distinguish...
  
  I need your advice on the disk storage of a BSO cube, here are the details:
  
  Make tests on a cube of OSI, I reduced the size of the block of 76 032' to 11'232 bytes. Then, I was interested to check if the disk storage has been reduced... So, I took the same set of data and loaded into the old structure as well as in the new structure. For both structures, I have applied exactly the same calc script + has not changed any other settings (such as "cache" for example).
  
  When I checked the results, I was really surprised because with the same set of data, it must 13go to the old structure and still 10 GB for the new even if the size of the block is really small... I've heard that "compression" could play a role here, but except for the compression, you have an idea of the reason why the disk storage is not smaller whith the new block size?
  
  Thanks in advance for your different tips and best regards,
  Laurent

  P.S: the density is not very good because I tried to do tests on a smaller data set than the real...

  ^ ^ ^ You just stated that all of the data is not representative and is actually smaller than reality. So that means you load (approximately) the same set of data in large blocks and small blocks. Guess what happens when it is compressed...

  To answer your question, the real test would be, for a number of limited but representative of blocks (good luck with that one), blocks of size reduced and complete tests. That will give you real world block size.

  BTW, I'm guessing / hoping that you did all members of dense upper level dynamics. There is almost never (well, sometimes, but really very rarely) a reason to store the dense upper limbs at level. A large part of the time forms dense member of lower level can also be set to dynamic.

  Kind regards

• New to ESXi ESXi installation USB or local disks operation best practices?

  I'm new to Vmware and run a small store, what is the best practice or best method to install the OS ESXi.  I currently have a few that I have installed on the usb stick on the server Board.  After some research it would be better to have two small drives SSD that I can raid with the operating system, then another RAID for the VM data store.  USB is a single source of failure.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hello

  Having the internal hard drives in RAID1 for the o/s will certainly to avoid a single point of failure, as you pointed out correctly. At present the death of your USB key, your host problems quite quickly, and you will need to get a new one and re-install again. You could save your good host configuration and realistically - it does take too long to rebuild a crowd if he dies. Lose other stuff like network configurations and others would however be a pain!

  I think I have two SSD internal drives in RAID1 for the o/s is probably overkill. You will have an advantage any speed of startup, but realistically most of the servers restart everything often and once that ESXi is in place and operational it is very little activity on the disks, a config updates every so often and so on. I'd be inclined to use a SSD to create a Cache of the host for the swap drive, like that you can actually use the SSD and get more performance for your money.

  Many manufacturers (like Dell) use internal SD cards in RAID1. While SD cards are not known to be very robust, because of the congestion of ESXi and the minimum number of necessary paperwork once installed initially, it makes a less expensive alternative to business class for the o/s disks.

  In regards to your data warehouses, having an internal RAID your local disks is best if you use a stand-alone host with no storage attached to the network. You always have the problem of failure of the host if.

  See you soon,.

• Single node ESXi with large local storage

  I have a HP DL180 G6 loaded with 2 160 GB drives, in the opposite direction. I'm also 6 2 TB disks in a RAID5 configuration including a spare drive (approximately 7.4 to useful).

  What is the best way to take full advantage of the direct storage of this machine?  SAN/NAS isn't in the budget.

  Currently, I have install ESXi sitting on the 160 GB mirrored drives and thought I'd get to use all of the 7.4 to other readers as a local data store, but only the instalation disk ESXi shows upward, the other readers that have been configured to RAID5 but do not appear in vsphere.

  Thank you.

  What RAID controller do you use? E200/P400? There BBWC/FBWC?

  To be able to use the full 7.4 to with ESXi 4.1 you must divide the RAID in several logical volumes, smaller than the maximum supported size 2 TB less than 512 bytes. To do this, boot from the CD/DVD of SmartStart and run the ACU (Array Configuration Utility). Once completed, start the new ESXi and use the "Add storage" Wizard to create VMFS storage of data on the logical volumes. Depending on the maximum size of virtual disk that you plan to use, you should consider to choose the appropriate block size while creating VMFS data warehouses.

• HP DL360 with ESXi - local disks required for the SWAP file?

  Hello

  Can someone answer this question right ahead please?

  When you buy a new HP DL360 with ESXi embedded you need hard to host a file of any nature or can the server work without local disks at all?

  See you soon.

  Hi, Local storage is not required. You can create the SWAP file on the external data store. Please go through the link http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmware_esxi_architecture_wp.pdf (number of page 4). See you soon!

• Disk groups are not visible cluster. vSAN datastore exists. 2 guests (on 8) cluster do not see the vSAN data store. Their storage is not recognized.

  http://i.imgur.com/pqAXtFl.PNG

  http://i.imgur.com/BnztaDD.PNG

  Do not know how even tear it down and rebuild it if the disk groups are not visible. The discs are in good health on each host storage adapters.

  Currently the latest version of vCenter 5.5. Hosts running 5.5 build 2068190

  Just built. Happy to demolish and rebuild. Just do not know why it is not visible on the two hosts and the disk groups are only recognized 3 guests when more are contributing. Also strange that I can't get the disk groups to fill in vCenter. I tried two different browsers (chrome and IE).

  I have now works.

  All the identical 5.5 relies on ESXi hosts. All hosts are homogeneous CPU/sum of the prospects for disk controller / installed RAM/storage.

  I have work. I had to manually destroy all traces of the vSAN on each single to help host node:

  (1) put the hosts in maintenance mode and remove the cluster. I was unable to disable vSAN in the cluster, I made on each node host (manually via the CLI below) then disconnected web client vCenter and return to finally refresh the ability to disable on the cluster.

  esxcli vsan cluster get - to check the status of each host.

  esxcli vsan cluster drop - the vSAN cluster host.

  storage of vsan esxcli list - view records in the individual host group

  esxcli vsan storage remove-d naa.id_of_magnetic_disks_here - to remove each of the disks in the disk group (you can ignore this using the following command to remove the SSD only falling each disc in this host group).

  esxcli vsan storage remove s naa.id_of_solid_state_disks_here - this is the SSD and all the magnetic disks in a given disk group.

  After that, I was able to manually add hosts to the cluster, leave maintenance mode and configure the disk groups. Aggregated data of the vSAN data store is correct now, and everything is functional.

  Another question for those of you who still read... How to configure such as the VM storage strategy that migrates towards (or inspired) the vSAN data store will immediately resume the default storage policy, I built for VSANs?

  Thanks for anyone who has followed.

• All local storage does not appear

  Greetings to all

  We have a new Dell with ESXi5.1 Server preloaded.

  He has installed locally 6 x 300 GB SAS disks. There is no external storage.

  When I go into a store of configuration data, it shows only ~1.1TB of storage. (see att)

  No idea why the other ~ 600 GB of storage does not appear.

  It has something to do with Dell configuration a LUN with only 1.1 TB?

  If so is there a way for me to vCenterServer5.1 for local storage LUN configuration?

  Thanks in advance
