ESXi 4.0 must increase on VMFS blocksize for 1.5 TB VM - answered

I installed ESXi 4.0 with the default settings, and I want to install 2 VMs on this server with 2 TB of hard drive space. A virtual machine will be FreeBSD with 1.5 TB of hard drive space, but when I try to configure the VM it says that I can not any expansion then 256GB. I've been Googling this problem and it seems to be due to the size of 1 MB of the VMFS partition. I used some methods I found online to increase the size of block, but because as a esxconsole.vmdk (?) is on this partition and is loaded into memory, I can't get a full access to the partition.

Does anyone know someone else why specify a block size of 8 M?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Why not just use rdms if you use such a big vmdk file?

    Update your video card drivers. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.

  • install ESX/ESXi on faster disks increases performance of the guest OS?

    for example, if you have installed ESX/ESXi on a faster local SSD or HARD disk, would be the overall performance of the ESXi and hosted OS be improved?

    Or ESX works completely in memory even after the start, so it does not improve a lot?

    If you have an iSCSI storage, I suggest you install ESX (i) on the local disk and attach (s) your storage iSCSI LUN as a VMFS data warehouses.

  • ESXi 5.0 STIG (increased security)

    I did the security hardening on a host ESXi 5 (test area), and I can't know what part is to complete the shell ESXi service stop to keep downtime.  Lock mode is not enabled, the SSH service is running when I look at the graphical interface, and when I have F2 and connection via the DCUI it shows that the 'ESXi Shell is activated.  Under this same box, it shows "SSH is enabled", and under the firewall, the SSH server is enabled and running.

    I hope that someone knows exactly what it is, of course, I changed some sshd_config files and such, but I'm not if that it affects.  It isn't causing a problem since it is just a test host, but I have gone through all these pages, I just can't understand what prevents this.

    I need to make a correction.  When I log in the DCUI under same if 'Options Mode Troubleshooting"I have activate the ESXi here environment, in a second or two, it gets back to disabled.

    Did you change the options of ESXiShellInteractiveTimeOut or ESXiShellTimeOut? These settings can reset a manually activated shell. Check the values with these commands:

    # esxcfg - advcfg - g/UserVars/ESXiShellInteractiveTimeOut

    # esxcfg - advcfg - g/UserVars/ESXiShellTimeOut

  • How to increase the control limits for the Audio Volume?

    I have upgraded my PC base unit and no longer have the output of the Speaker Volume I had before. The audio output is more silent than before with the same speakers I used. I have moved all the sliders on the control panel of the Volume on their maximum position, but still can't get enough of output to the speakers. The important thing is for my use are 'Volume Control' and 'Wave', and these are set to the maximum. Now I have a motherboard with Intel D845GERG2 Intel i845GE chipset. The operating system is Windows XP Professional SP3, as previously. The sound card is SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio with Legacy audio drivers. I checked using Device Manager drivers and hardware to work properly. The problem is software because I can achieve the required high speaker volume if I use VLC Media Player and set the volume to 200%. With Windows Media Player, set the volume to 100% is sufficient. I'm looking to increase range parameter on the control panel of Volume as a general solution. Can you advise if this is possible? I looked at a few ideas, these courses: edit files (.inf) SoundMAX driver. Modify the registry keys concerned. Use different audio drivers (none seem to be available for my hardware). Install the software to boost the audio output (VLC Media Player should be achieve this somehow). Install alternative (rollback) Microsoft drivers. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Just an update of my efforts on this issue.

    I revisited the audio registry settings SoundMAX for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ \0005\Settings {4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. These are installed when you install the driver for SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. Changing these settings has already failed to get an increase of output audio volume. I have now found some settings of the value of these registry keys that have given me a satisfactory increase in the volume of the audio. In short, the cure for my situation was:

    The file source (wdm3516b_Cadenza.exe) driver available from the Download Center Intel is a self-extracting ZIP file. Unzip this file to a location convenient temporary store (C:\Temp)

    Use a text editor (Notepad) to edit the INF of the driver - in my case, it's "smwdmCH4.inf. Changes to this file cause the digital signature of the file to be invalid, but choose "Continue Anyway" to solve this problem during the installation of the driver. To increase the sound volume levels, the audio volume registry key value parameters that have been predefined 08 (hex) have been changed to 01 (hex). I suppose that this change dB levels produced by the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio.

    To install the new settings:

    Uninstall the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio hardware by using Device Manager.

    Restart the PC - this should give a "new hardware found" restart of the PC.

    Use Device Manager to reinstall the driver for SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. Do not use the automatic selections for this - run the installation process where you stored the INF driver edited file.

    Once installation is complete, a check on the properties of the device must indicate that the device is functioning properly.

    Use regedit to check that changes in the edited file driver INF appeared in the area of the Windows registry - in my case, it is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\ {4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} \0005\Settings.

    I will emphasize that it is NOT a recommended fix - it turns out that it worked for me. The usual caveats apply - save your original settings, or better yet, use software disk image to make a copy of your drive hard so that you go back to square one if she's going "pear-shaped" with adaptations that have been made.

  • Increase video memory dedicated for my computer...

    Hi, my computer is a Windows Vista Ultimate, Intel Core to Duo T7700 2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, 2 GB of RAM, blah blah blah, video Total rest is not necessary.

    Anyway, I wanted to know how to increase my DEDICATED VIDEO RAM, not the total. Currently, my dedicated video memory is sitting up to 256 MB, which means approximately 1.74 GB of video RAM is not used (supposedly).
    I tried everything to my Start menu to enter the "BIOS", which everyone says is the way to change the dedicated video memory. Unfortunately, the BIOS does not turn upward anywhere and I can't find another way to change the dedicated video memory.
    What is the easiest or more simplified to change my dedicated video memory? Or I do something wrong?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
    P.S. I use my computer to play various games (that you might have supposed), but I have played games that require more dedicated video RAM to display for my computer, for example 512 MB, while I have 256 MB, as mentioned previously. The games work well and generally smooth. Is it just because of the CPU or is my video memory dedicated, is actually just a mask for the amount of RAM? Or maybe something else?

  • ESXi vmnic connected to 20000 MB when waiting for 40000 MB

    Hi all
    I have 4 x B200M3 5u2 ESXi running blades in a single chassis UCS. They run a number of vSwitches, and all the connected vmnic show 40000 full duplex Mb (as expected).
    Yesterday, I added 2 B200M3 more (to slot 7 and 8), and I get only 20000 Mb on all the vmnic. The hosts are the same set up as the old via vCenter (although not not using the host profiles), and Service UCS profiles on new knives are clones of an existing blade.

    See attached screenshots...

    Does anyone have an idea of what this might be? Any help would be great.

    See you soon

    Yet one thing, you might hit the default below if you have the same hardware on all blades, including the two new b200 M3.

    You can also see the difference in the bandwidth if the new cards are one of the missing cards, it could be the port Expander or the 1280 or 1240 vic, is an expected behavior.
