• ESXi 5 - increase the disk space

  Hello

  
  Info:

  Size of the disk hard server: 4 TB

  What are the limits on the increase in size of virtual machine disk space Windows Server? For example, if C: win2k8 is 80 GB, can I increase to say a maximum of 4000 GB (eg. only 1 VM on the host)?

  I get a new server and I would like to give the VMs small readers and increase disk space needed in the future, if necessary. How will I know how much space the augmentable drive by?

  If I start with young readers, does this mean that I won't be able to increase the disk space, as well as virtual machines with more readers?

  Thank you

  Sorry, my bad. The size of the virtual disk does not depend on the HW version, it's just 5.5 ESXi and VMFS5.

  In any case, some words of clarification:

  • You can create virtual disks with up to 16 TB, in c# Client
  • Large virtual disks > 2 TB-512Bytes (with up to 62 to 64 to no) are not officially supported in c# Client, even if this can work for drives <=16TB (see=""> vSphere 5.5 storage improvements part 1: 62 TB VMDK)
  • Note: You cannot manage VMs with HW version 10 in the c# Client.

• ESXi 4.0 initial installation 208167 used 80G of hard disk space

  Hello

  I'll put up an old HP Proliant DL360 G5 server with two hard drives, managed by the HP Smart Array P400i controller 146SAS.  With RAID 1 + 0, the LogicalDisk is about 136G.  After you have installed the server ESXi 4.0, vSphere client reported that 51G is available for virtual machines.   See attached snapshot.  Back in 2009, on a new DL360 G6 server, I used the same software to ESXi 4.0 and installing used only 2 GB of space.  Which could use the 80G of hard disk space? 

  I noticed a difference in how vSphere client reported the DTX200:

  The DL360 G5, the customer reported the storage as "local disk VMWare..." »

  The DL360 G6, the customer reported the storage as "Home HP series SCSI Disk... »

  Any idea what happened to the 80G?  Thank you.

  -Jim

  If I understand you correctly, there is nothing on the data store yet (i.e. no VMs)? In this case, you can try to remove the data store and recreate to see if it reports the correct size after that.

• Virtualized temporary Internet Files eat up disk space. How can I stop this?

  Have encountered a problem of memory on my C drive and the holding of all recommendations usual cleaning only manages to free a few hundred MB. My hard drive is partitioned into a C and an E drive (each with 116 GB). I use Vista and Internet Explorer. (As far as I know, this is not a problem of RAM and my computer to not walk slowly.)

  The number of programs and files on my C drive not could represent almost 116 GB of memory, but I could find no other possible reason for my low disk space... until...

  I went to the guest orders and managed to do list all in the C drive. Then I spotted a directory which seems to contain a HUGE 94 GB of memory on the C drive. The exact name/address was as follows: C:\users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Virtualized\C\Users\Kevin\Appdata\Local\FLVService. The list of files in this directory have been mainly youtube and almost all the other videos I've seen last year! (This folder does not appear in Windows Explorer.)

  Then, these videos are stored in virtual memory? They take place that much space? (The term 'virtual' throws me a bit). I can delete this file safely and how? And, finally, how to stop what is happening yet?

  So, thank you for reading this far and I would be really grateful for any help on this matter.

  Kevin.

  What problem you encounter when you try to delete the files?  FreeCorder has some options, you can use to purge or otherwise control the cache / repository it uses? That seems to be the easiest way to get rid of files and recover disk space.  Otherwise, uninstall (and reinstall maybe later) may present you with an option to clear the cache, the program uses.

• External storage space can be added to stop messages "low disk space"?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it is not possible to add external hard drive on the internal hard drive space. However, you can perform disk cleanup that can help you solve this problem.

  You can also uninstall the unwanted program to increase the space.

• VMWare EsXi 5.1.0 disk space

  Hello

  I have the following situation. A VM server EsXi 5.1.0 with two virtual machines.

  A virtual machine has two virtual disks of type thick lazy disposition to zero.

  The bootdrive is 1 hard disk drive HDD 2 data. From 1 to 80 GB hard drive put in service then the hard drive 2 has 120 GB put in service. I managed to increase the 80 GB with 10 GB drive because there was still space available in the data store so 2 months ago, I increased to 90 GB drive has worked perfectly.

  In the operating system on drive C (disc 1) I had only 3 GB of free again so I need more space, so that the data drive (disc 2) had 30 GB of free space.

  I thought when I decrease disk 2 with 10 GB and disk increase 1 with 10 GB of all be good. In the VSphere client, I edited the disksspace, but I noticed that I could not reduce the disk 2?

  Also, I could not return my settings? So now on the virtual computer will not boot and I get error ' not enough space on the data store.

  Can I return my settings and get the disc about the size of the 'old '?

  Thank you

  Jeffken

  Reduce a virtual disk is unfortunately not supported in the GUI (and the CLI). In order to decrease the size, you can use VMware Converter for example.

  Anyway, what you can do to be able to turn on the virtual computer as soon as possible - assuming that the host is not part of a cluster and you have not enough memory - is to put a reserve of memory for the virtual machine. The disk space required for the virtual machine swap file, which is created once the virtual machine is running - is equal to the amount of provisioned VM memory minus the reserved memory. So if you change this setting in order to reserve any memory, the paging file will not require any disk space.

  Note that with very low available space on the data store, you can run into issues when you create snapshots!

• Made already 99%, then stopped because of disk space

  Due to lack of disk space (although it was only sufficient provision PP) a huge file export stopped at 99%.

  He had to make it at that time (almost 2 hours movie HD) 60 hours I think it was done with the rendering and realized that there is EAP not enough of the other disk space to write the final file in it (because there is already a file with 0 bytes).

  I would ask that first Pro CS5 uses files that are already made in the next trial--or, if not, how I can bring the first to use? It would be a shame to start over when it is done so already.

  Thanks for the suggestions!

• Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so big they eventually run out of disk space, and then I can't resize them...

  Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so large they finally running out of disk space, and then I can't resize them... see the screenshots below:

  

  So all my virtual machines are that looks like it's finally the 5 GB goes down to zero, cannot update things like Dropbox and all sorts of other things start to break. I then, go here and try to expand, but I get this error on machines to young readers:

  

  I think I need at least as much GBs on the system, as is the virtual machine? Done my MBA and smaller machines, is not possible. But when I move the virtual machine to a bigger machine like my iMac, with a big disc of TB, I can do the resizing. Is it the way it is supposed to work? Perhaps, I do not have this right...

  thx for all the advice!

  Yep, that's the way it is supposed to work.  The close, move it to the iMac, expand drive, then arrest him and bring him back.  Make sure you choose "move" not "copy" when migrating to avoid triggering the activation of windows.

  Regarding what is eating space inside the virtual machine, you will have to consider for the guest OS for more information (which are not a matter of merger).

  To free up space on the host, with closing VM, go to settings, click on the circle of little tiny refreshment next to the space bar, then if she said cleaning recommended, go into general and make a clean virtual machine.

• Disk space remaining time 0 days... but what VMs.

  Hi all.

  I installed the VAPP for VCOPS is about 2 weeks and continues through he's trying to learn it.

  I was looking at the warnings and try to get health upward.   Most of the things are clickable, but for that I can't figure out what/where to go.

  If I highlight something on the left (my vCenter for me), then go to the planning on the right, then the views.

  I find a lot of things RED.  For example, if I choose 'Ability to Virtual Machine', then down I see next to "Disk space" that I have the time that remains "0 days."

  Also that 27 of my virtual machines are more.   I can't figure out how to find just what VMs that is.

  I have attached a screenshot showing the screen page.

  5.7.1 vCops build 1166139

  Thank you very much.

  If you use the admin account from vCenter for the collector of vCOps, perms are probably not a problem here. vCenter creds are used only to collect data from vCenter, and to access user acts as a degree of transmission for advanced access to the USER interface. Whatever it is, I don't think it's an immediate question since you are using your administrator account.

  1. instant space on a virtual computer will count just use of disk space. After a certain age it is even considered as a waste (configurable, default 180 days).

  2. who would absolutely have an impact on the accuracy of what vCOps sees. vCOps needs to see all the virtual machines on a store of data and giving only even if partial access through vCenters can cause serious situations of angle with these #s of planning. I recommend that you add the 2nd vCenter to vCOps for monitoring to help to clean up, but you can find that data warehouses are the same signature, but with "possibly" differing vCOps resource name - see what it does in your case. When you migrate computers virtual to the new vCenter, he'll gen new unique identifiers for resources and you will lose your historical data for those VMs. The virtual machines in the new vCenter will be collected as long as new resources and collect measures under this new resourceid... the old resource and associated metrics will be left to age with the rest of your data.

  How long until the migration is complete? Until you get your warehouses of data cleaned and VMs on them fully visible to vCOps, I think that the #s will be a little off.

• Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense?

  Since the installation of creative cloud, I noticed a lack of disk space, recently I found CC had been storing GB of log files, how can I stop this nonsense? 40 GB of space on my SSD HARD drive was recovered today by disabling the 8.1 windows temp folder. I was wondering what "ACC 22/04/2015-10-09 - 26.log" etc, and when I opened the I was shocked to discover Adobe CC was bringing together these huge logs on my computer since I bought and installed last month. WTF Adobe, how can I turn off or limit, as writes to the SSD of constantly to kill them and I do not consider your logs to be important use of space.

• Datastore on ESXi 4.1 disk space monitoring

  Hi all

  I use HP SiteScope to monitor our data warehouses.  I use a simple script monitor to bounce back against our servers ESX 4.0 who runs the command of vdf to return the size used, available and percentage used.  When I call the script I pass data with her store name.  This is the content of the script.

  sudo/usr/sbin/vdf /vmfs/volumes/$1

  This returns the following:

  1 k-blocks used available use % mounted on file system

  / vmfs/volumes/4c14635a-8d723b1c-031c-0844324ssa05f3

  419168256 117296128 301872128/vmfs/volumes/MY_DATASTORE 27%

  Then, I am able to use these measures to make reports and alerts if a certain data store is full.  This is a Lab Manager environment development so sometimes people accidentally create too many virtual machines and their warehouses of data to run out of disk space.  Where the reason why we need oversight from a perspective of data store.

  Now enter ESXi 4.1.  The command vdf no longer accepts the name of store data as an additional argument.  I tried a number of different things but do not seem to find the right solution.

  So basically I just need the same measures and be able to run for each of my stores of data.  Does anyone know a different way to this collection through the command line?

  Thanks in advance.

  Billy

  with ls - lh mutual data store name, you can

  and you can see with df h size.

  but I believe that the best solutions is witch with VMA command line.

• Disk space on ESXi

  Hey

  I'm doing something wrong?

  I used to use VMware Server1, now I changed my ESXi. On WMWare Server1, it was possible to have a flexible space on my HD, which means that it took me 50GB on my HD, and if I don't use 20 GB, it will use (put) only 20 and not to keep all 50 GB in reserve...

  Is there therefore no possiblilty to use on my flexible hard disk space as I could do with Server1?

• How can I stop OE 'compress files to free disk space,'

  How can I prevent the notice OE ("compression of files to free up disk space"), constantly arise. I moved the cd, deleted files, shortcuts to files, etc., and I still get this pop up to compress files.  very annoying.   Help

  Have let you compact? Disk space is not recovered until you do. Let compact, you should not see the prompt again for 100 closures of OE. If you see more often, after the return. If not, read this.

  *******************

  Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
  http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact

  About file Corruption:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

  Compacting your folders periodically is a must to keep OE works fine and at some point, you may lose all your saved messages if you do not. When you delete or move messages, the space they used remains until you compact.

  Never touch anything until the compression is finished.* *.

  See:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  With SP2, Automatic compaction in the background has been removed because of problems he has caused. Now, you will get a prompt to compact after 100 closures of OE, you need to do, and do not touch anything until it's finished. If you compact manually, at your convenience, this will also set the counter to zero. See this for more information:
  http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact

  If you are fully patched, you will now see a copy of your dbx files copied to the Recycle Bin as BAK files. If something goes wrong when compacting, the messages can be easily restored from this backup. A compact manual resets also the counter in the back of the registry to zero now.

  For more information, see the information framed in red here:
  www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2

  To keep things running smooth and harden faster:

  Do not archive mail in default OE folders. It will eventually become corrupt and you may lose mail. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

  And backup often.
