ESXi5.1 and large amount of Local storage

Hello

I have an ESXi host 5.1 with a virtual machine, acting as a file server. The host has more than 4 TB of local storage that is not in use. Is it possible to introduce this 4TB as a single volume to the VM file server? I would just like to
be made available as a drive in Windows.

I read some solutions autour using RDM or by creating 2 TB VMDK and configuring as interval in Windows training. Are there other options?

Thank you

If you want to run a configuration support, virtual disks of ~ 2 TB are currently the only way to go, because RDM are supported only with LUNS on the shared storage. Personally, I would not combine the two virtual disks in the guest OS somehow (dynamic disks, RAID0) but consider split user data and is present through different actions or DFS.

  • iCloud photo library and the problems of local storage of iOS

    I have iCloud library lit with iPhone active storage optimization. However, I still have more than 1 GB of space being taken up locally on my iOS. If all my photos that I take on iOS are automatically sent to iCloud for storing, why is there such a big mark always on my phone locally? If I try to remove my iOS device photos, I am prompted with a message indicating that this photo is deleted from all devices and iCloud. Is it possible to have all your photos sent to iCloud and then removed from your iOS device?

    You need to keep them on the device, or they will be deleted to iCloud. Optimization occurs according to the needs, not all at once.

  • Question on NAS200 and large amount of data to him.

    Hi all

    I have a Linksys NAS 200 on my home LAN.  It is connected via a 1.1 WRT300N wireless router.  I have my computer connected to the router via a cable (not wireless).  I am running windows XP Media center SP3 on a HP duel core processor computer.

    My problem is that I'm trying to move a large number of media to a failed drive on my computer to a drive on the NAS 200.  There are about 1.3 TB of info and when I try to copy in windows Explorer it takes forever and consumes a lot of time my computer CPU.

    Are other than copying small amounts of these data over time as 3-5 gb each night there other options?  Maybe a program that works like a web browser download manager?  I'm not too good with FTP solutions, but maybe it would work, but I don't know how to set up.  Could this be something with how I set up my router?  I use my router as my firewall and my computer does not have a firewall.  It has spyware doctor and Ad-Aware of protection running.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Robocopy has an option to limit the bandwidth network, this will also limit the CPU usage (both on your Windows machine and the NAS).

    For others, try Googling "windows copy bandwidth limit" or "copy windows limit UC" (without the quotes).

  • Documents and data with all the storage on iPhone

    A few days ago I tried to send an email with a large attachment. However, it has not been send so I deleted my account from my iPhone. Once I did, I got a message saying that almost all of my storage has been exhausted. I checked to see and I have about 5 GB of available 64 GB. I connected my iPhone to my computer to check which took all this space and 45 GB of my space is being taken up by the Documents and data. I deleted the old messages, imported pictures to my computer and erased, erase my history on safari, check on iCloud, and allows to remove most of my apps that I have read that the removing applications and later re - download. I've also updated to iOS 9.3. It helped very little. Documents and data is now only 43 GB instead of 45 GB. Before that happened, I got about 50 GB of free and now I just 5 GB free after it happened.

    What else can I do to clear more of Documents and data? Should I restore my iPhone to one of the backups that I recorded? Should I take my iPhone at the Apple Store because it happened so suddenly and randomly?

    On the phone, go to settings App > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in STORAGE). Who will provide a list of what applications use data and in what quantity. Tapping on the app with you give the amount of data, the application contains (less himself) and in most cases the ability to delete the application, if you wish. You will not necessarily have to delete the app.

    Once you have completed all the actions, try a forced reboot: hold down the House and on the buttons until the unit turns off. Ignore the cursor off if it appears. Once completed, if it does not start on it own, turn off power with the key On. In some cases, it also contributes to double click the Home button and close all applications before restarting.

    Also, actually iTunes sync erases some of this possibility.

    One last thing, if you have installed whatsapp, there is a known problem cases that it runs in fairly large amount of data storage.

  • Local storage - lack of space for the backup snapshot?

    Hi all

    My apologies if this is an obvious question, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a question I have about our ESXi server.

    We run ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 III with 16 GB Ram and 200 GB RAID 5 15 K RPM SAS for local storage - we do not have a requirement for a SAN, etc. and I understand how 'best practice' implementation of ESXi and that local storage is not recommended.

    Our question is:

    We are running very low on the amount of local storage on the server and we use a Perl script every night to create a snapshot of a VM only we want to save that copies the original VM on a separate NAS device files. Apart from slow performance, this configuration works well for us. However, during the backup of the file snapshot obviously grew up with changes that are made and once the backup is complete he writes these returns to the original vmdk file (or so I think). Can anyone tell what would happen if we managed to create a snapshot at the beginning of the backup, but the server ran out of space before the backup finishes and commit the change snapshot... it would seriously damage our original server vmdk?

    If you would like more information on our installation program please let me know but I would like some advice before embark us on this... Thanks in advance.

    Stuart Little

    If the volume is running out of space, even if you have an active member of snapshot on a virtual computer it stops running (the VM will crash) and you will not be able to commit the snapshot (free space is needed for this). Always avoid the chance of a filling volume, especially if you are using snapshots, while you probably won't lose data if you handle it properly (move the virtual machine to a volume with storage or free space before attempting to commit the snap) you will have at least virtual machine downtime.

  • How can I get rid of the message "local storage"?

    How can I get rid of this message? Click on allow or deny does not get rid of it. It can also be moved and it sits just above the video, making the Flash Player completely useless. Thanks for any help.

    adobe-flash.jpg

    I found the answer.

    1. Click the right button (Windows) or by pressing the control key (Macintosh) the image of the application while it is running.
    2. In the context menu, select settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.

    There is no 'Settings' selection, but if you want to allow local storage for all sites choose "global settings".

  • Windows is losing large amounts of storage space without telling me

    In recent weeks I've been watching my local disk drive (c) (only the petition on that computer) to see if I was using storage space. I noticed that I am losing a large amount of storage space. AVG disk space analysis, I have 176 GB of files in my local disk (c). My windows Explorer, however, I have 335 GB of files on my local drive (c). Which means there are 159 GB of files in my PC that I never new existed, and I can't find where. My concern is that it is a form of Malware, like in the last 24 hours, I've lost 15 gb + space, even if I haven't downloaded something.

    I apologize if it was a little hard to follow, as I found it hard to explain. If anyone knows what it is, if it is in fact something, please share your information with me. Thank you.

    There could be lots of things like backups, restore points, etc.  There is a 3rd party app called from Jam software Treesize (free) which will tell you what is using that space.

  • Suggestions of RAID for local storage of ESXi5.

    I'll put up a little POC ESXi 5 Ent environment and you want to use local storage. (5 x 146 GB 15 k disks). I'm not really worried about space, the virtual machine will be small and fair for the POC, but I want to put in place the discs of the best that I can. I read about a large RAID 5 and 1 spare HD, 1 small RAID 1 for ESXi and then RAID 10 for VM.

    What is a good best practice which will INCLUDE a built-in redundancy incase I want to lose a player.

    Thank you!

    Say 5 concerts for esx...

    Make at least 6 GB for the operating system and scratch partition can be configured! Depending on how the controller RAID calculates disk space, 5 GB may be simply too little a few bytes. I usually do 10 GB which allows for a small store of data that I use for ISO images.

  • Flash does not work in FF26, it works in Chrome and IE. I reinstalled FF and Flash several times. I can't adjust the setting of local storage for Flash either.

    Flash does not work on some web sites. I never had a problem before with flash on FF in the nearly 15 years that I've used FF. Recently it has stopped working for some reason any and on some flash sites does not, NHL.com and site of kid Herotopia being just two of them. I updated FF, Adobe flash, the reinstalled version them repeatedly deleted all the files that have been stored on my laptop; that is, profiles, saved favorite nothing that I could find in user accounts and in the local app, low local and roaming data folders. What is strange, is that I can't set the local storage for flash either. When I visit the Adobe site to view the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager I can move the scroll bar, but cannot check the: allow third-party flash content to store data on your computer. I can't do it on a Web site where the flash does not work. When I try and it changed on any site that it goes back to zero. Not sure if it is a part of the problem. I got tired of many suggestions on the pages of material here, but nothing works. I even tried this http://forums.adobe.com/message/4566499#4566499#4566499

    The other strange thing is that I used to get the "warning: script does not" prompt that displays "a script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script ends. "sometimes when I would buy on Macy's.com. This is the only site that it happened.
    I know I have only little technical knowledge, but I have tried to figure this out for a few days and do not know what is happening. The only thing I can think is that I somewhere files corrupted causing this problem. I have just updated to Windows 8.1 tonight in the hope that can help, but nothing helped. I would be very disappointing if I couldn't use FF or must go back using Chrome and FF.
    Sorry for the posting long but no solution would be much appreciated.

  • 3000N200 R & R backup takes hours and using the large amount of disk space. Can anyone help?

    The weekly backup of Rescue and Recovery has suddenly started to take hours when I haven't changed anything and uses a large amount of hard disk space. I tried to remove some previous backups and it and it seemed to work OK and then all of a sudden decides to do the same thing. I tried a previous restore point and it helped for a while and now just made a backup taking 4 hours and 20 GB of hard drive space. It is a fault and has nothing to do?


  • Local storage and multiple ESXi hosts

    Hi, I was wondering how vWorkspace manages local storage in an environment with a single server Vcenter and two ESXi, with a local data store each.

    If I store a 'master' (I mean the gold statue) vm on the local storage of an ESXi, can replicate vWorkspace this virtual machine to the local storage of the other ESXi as Citrix VIAB?

    If not, how can I use both my ESXi servers with local storage and maybe provide some sort of HA?

    Am I forced to use a storage shared, if I want to be able to deploy clones related both to my ESXI?

    Thanks in advance.

    Use vSAN, or no matter what virtual SAN Appliance as an iSCSI SAN storage to prosecute two storage facilities... You can replicate between the two servers and same LUNS are used by vWorkspace.

  • How to configure and use the local storage dirve and usb

    My company bought a server DMM cisco as well as 10 players of 4310 g dmp.  I tried to work on mine here to get it all working.  Let me expose what we would do first before to get into the details.

    The cental DMM will it play any content and be used to create and manage the content here at company wehre I am.  However my boss wants to send dmp individual players (4310 g) out to our factories across the country.  He wants me to be able to creat content or allow a person managing the exact address to edit the content and then push the content from the server DMM to corporate local DPM record either on local storage or attached thumb order.  I guess my questions on what are the following.

    (1) is it necessary to push the content locally for playback?  Willingness to play the content of our dmm on the wan to do lots of traffic?  Presentations could be as simple as a welcome page based presentation playing images video and flash.

    (2) based on local content would be a wise decision I'll have to see exactly how this is done poorly.  In the settings of the dmp, I see the setting of local storage and turned it on and set to read/write.  In regard to the command of thumb gose exactly how I implement that so that DPM can see?  I plug to the back of the drive, and it seems that it is active but the management console of the player I don't see anyway to actaully see if she knows the USB.

    (3) how will push the content for local storage and control of the DMM thumb?  It looks like I can send things to the storage internal if package transfer and or advanced/DPM deployment tasks or server file.  What exactly is the difference between these two?

    (4) Lastly how I actually play the local content of the dmp?  Can I set this up on a schedule of the dmm just like I would if he played the local dmm?

    I searched through the documentation, but I have not found any good docs who are clear to actually how to do these things.  So, any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Glen,

    Here are the answers to your questions

    1) is it nessesary to push the content locally for playback?  Will  playing content from our dmm over the wan be to much traffic?   Presentations could be as simple as a basic welcome page to a  presentation playing video and flash images.

    It is not required to push the content locally, you can also play the DMM directly. The main advantage of playing on the spot, is that you can transfer the videos several hours or days before the presentation begins to be played if you deploy content off hours and then, when he's ready to start playing the new presentation.

    If you play directly the content of the DMM, the content will be transferred at the time of the DMP starts playback. This may fail if the WAN link is saturated at that time here.

    2) If pushing the content local would be a wise decision I am having  difficulty seeing exactly how this is done.  In the dmp settings I see  the local storage setting and have it turned on and set to read/write.   As far as the thumb drive gose how exactly to I set that up so the dmp  can see it?  I plug it in the back of the player and it looks like it's  active but from the management console of the player I do not see any  way to actaully see if it knows about the usb thumb drive.

    You don't need to do anything to enable USB storage, simply plug it in. To confirm that the DMP is able to see it properly, the simplest way is to connect to the DPM via FTP and confirm that he has a «usb_2» directory This "usb_2" directory, where is the USB drive is mapped.

    3) how will I push the content to the local storage and the thumb drive  from the DMM?  It looks like I can send things to the internal storage  though the advanced tasks/deployment package and or file transfer to DMP  or server.  What exactly is the differnce between these two?

    The task of "File transfer" will just do this, transfer a file to the DMP. The deployment package is smarter and will transfer all the contents of a presentation and organize them in a structure that can be used to read the content locally. You should always use the deployment package.

    4) finally how will I actually play the content from the local dmp?  Can  I set this up on a schedual from the dmm just like I would if it was  playing from the local dmm?

    Yes, she may be scheduled as any other presentation.

    I suggest you have a look at the link below. He explains the steps required to configure the deployment package and read the content deployed with it.

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/DMM/user/guide/DMP/CDs.html#wp2188026

    I hope everything is clear now, but if you have any questions, let me know. I'll try to answer.

    With the help of the network location and mapped a drive to the server FTP off site; during the transfer of very large amounts of the login information is always lost.  Computer power settings are configured to not to do no matter what, I'm assuming that the ftp server can publish a scenerio timeout but is there a way for my computer and windows to restart the file transfer?

  • Database update issue with JavaScript and local storage

    Hi all

    I come from a PHP background and a newbie with HTML5 and JavaScript, and local storage


    Currently I'm building a mobile web application that uses a remote database.

    I have a question about the update database.

    Currently, I set it up so that when the user logs on successfully - Local Storage fields are loaded from the remote database query using a jQuery.Get. This seems to work well.

    When it's time to update the data, I fill the form in local storage, allow the user edit fields, then:

    -a form post to send data to the remote php page that updates the database...

    Here is where I have a question: How can I make sure the edit went through good - what is better to do it now?

    -Can I set up a json response to say whether or not the update was successful

    or

    -Query the database once more and recover the fields to compare the edit results

    or

    -Another technique to do of course change it went through OK

    - then if successful, I can update the local storage

    Q: what is the best way to ensure that the database has been correctly updated (and also not lose time with Access database useless)?

    Is there a recommended for this?

    In addition, if possible this beginner can use a clear example...

    Why not to use jquery get () callback status where if the success is returned then to update local storage?

  • vMotion and Shared vs Local storage

    Greetings to all

    It does not say much on the local storage in my book by Lowe.

    In fact its as if no one is using to vSphere5 without an external storage array any.

    It indicates that 'the shared storage' is required for vMotion.

    But I when I talked to a vMWare engineer said he local storage will work as a shared storage.

    Kind of confused here. I saw that this mentioned anywhere.

    We have two new servers Dell with ESXi5.

    They have discs SAS6 6 x 300 G each. It's our storage.

    We want the ability to run vMotion between these two servers.

    Can it be configured to be a storage shared in vCenter Server or when you add a virtual machine?

    Thanks in advance.
