ESXi6 - VM stun all by extending the eager zero thickness disc

Hello

There is a bug in ESXi6.0 which causes stunning virtual machine during the extension of thick disk of eager.

As in below link, I tried to convert the disc zero lazy before its extension.

VMware KB: Expand a virtual disk eager-zero causes stun of the virtual machine in ESXi 6.0 GA / 6.0 U1

But even after svmotion with conversion from one disk to zero lazy, he showed thick zero in vCenter, web client and command line. I then extend a 50 GB to 100 GB drive, which causes my VM to stun.

Is there any other solution to extend a thick eager zero disk without causing a virtual machine for stunning in ESXi6?

It is confirmed with VMware that eager thick conversion of zero-for-zero lazy question in ESXi 6.0U1a and is resolved in the update 1 b.

The solution of the issue is:

  • Eager thick SVMotion zero disc to any other data store and change the type to thin over the svmotion.
  • Make sure the type is thin
  • Now extend a drive
  • Once again, svmotion the disc to the original and this data store times change the thick type zero eager

You will get the option to change the disc type in the settings advanced during the svmotion.

    • If the virtual disk VMDK is a Thin, convert the eager Zerod drive of the thickness using the vmkfstools --inflatedisk command. For example:

      vmkfstools --inflatedisk /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk


      Note: the command of inflation indicates the percentage of completion.

    • If the VMDK virtual disk is thick, convert the drive eager to zero thickness using the vmkfstools --eagerzero command. For example:

      vmkfstools --eagerzero /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk

      Note: the avid zero order does not indicate the percentage of completion.

    1. do I need to run the two commands?

    2 will. that affect data on these discs?

    Hello.

    The disc is not thin provisioned (thinProvisioned = false), then the command ' vmkfstools - inflatedisk ' is not necessary.  Running the ' vmkfstools - eagerzero "command should not affect all data on the disk, but it is always a good idea to make sure that you have a backup before you run all disk commands.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    I guess, when end_dt is NULL, you want to use the current date as end_dt, and the results you have posted are the desired results if the query is executed on February 10, 2011.

    Here's one way:

    WITH     got_n_days     AS
    (
         SELECT     id, st_dt, end_dt, val
         ,     NVL ( end_dt
                  , TRUNC (SYSDATE)
                  ) - st_dt          AS n_days
         FROM     table_x
    --     WHERE     ...     -- If you need any filtering, put it here
    )
    ,     cntr          AS
    (
         SELECT     LEVEL  - 1     AS n
         FROM     (
                   SELECT  MAX (n_days)     AS max_n_days
                   FROM     got_n_days
              )
         CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= max_n_days - 1
    )
    SELECT       d.id
    ,       d.st_dt + c.n          AS dt
    ,       d.val
    FROM       got_n_days     d
    JOIN       cntr          c  ON     c.n     < d.n_days
    WHERE       TO_CHAR ( d.st_dt + c.n
                  , 'DY'
                , 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH'     -- If necessary
                ) NOT IN ('SAT', 'SUN')
    ORDER BY  id
    ,            dt
    ;
    

    Basically, each line of your original table must be repeated n times, where n is the number of days between (included) st_dt and end_dt (not included). The first subquery calculates this number and the main query results by combining your data with a "counter table", NTRC, which contains a line for each value of n that you may need. This 'table' is generated in the second auxiliary request.
    The join produces a line for each day. The WHERE clause eliminates the Saturday and Sunday from these results.

    Thanks for posting the sample data in a useful form. That really helps.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - cannot extend the desktop to an external monitor

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro S300 and it won't extend the desktop to an external monitor / projector, but it will clone the desktop?

    so far I have tried:
    2 instructors and 1 projector all do the same thing, will clone but not extend.
    Reinstall the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site.
    Reinstall the latest drivers of change on the Toshiba site.

    But nothing worked, I even checked my S300 colleagues to make sure that I use the same parameters and their (of 2 other s300) extend and clone office.

    Has anyone seen this before and how solve you the problem?

    Paul

    Did you first remove the old driver before you install the new driver? If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver again. Therefore, to remove the old driver, restart the computer, use CCleaner to clean the registry and install the new version you can find on the Toshiba site.

    More I would try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

    I hope it works for you.

  • Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?

    Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?

    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.

    I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.

    Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

  • Best way to extend the network of Apple using Cat5 and wireless, but with access to the same network

    Appreciate any help here.

    I need to extend my network coverage for the part out of my house where the current signal does not cover.

    I have a Time capsule in the office connected to my Modem and then created a wireless (XXXX) network that connects to the extreme in my front room... .well when I'm in my room before the signal does not increase when I go near the extreme... and maybe it's that I'm still picking up XXX to my Time Capsule wireless network.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5 and therefore the extreme would be able to stream my network wireless XXXX?

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which currently gets no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or must it come directly from the TC?   (and again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Ideally, I want the network to be possible STB and flavours around the House, and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would accomplish that... but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX wifi network I have printers, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    Oh... and 1 other point, I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... is - it possible... and that has to be directly connected to the time Capsule and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Hope that makes sense... but please let me know if you need more details.

    I'm just a Cat5 cable around the House and I was wondering if I can connect the TC to the extreme via CAT5

    Yes. Hate to be picky here, but I hope you'll use CAT5, CAT5e cabling being quite a bit obsolete.

    wireless network and if so the extreme would be able to stream my XXXX?

    Yes

    If I then want to connect to another airport (explicit / extreme or even TC) in the part of my house which gets currently no signal... then do cela via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device

    Yes, but it would be preferable to cables to connect the 3rd to the main TC, if that's an option.

    or does have to come directly from the TC?

    No, but it would be better if she could, if this is an option.

    and once again... the 3rd device will also be able to broadcast the network XXXX?

    Yes

    and I think that the connections between Ethernet devices would achieve this

    That is right. Ethernet is always the best choice in terms of performance.

    but I also need the i-devices, streaming boxes etc. around my house to then access the XXXX same wifi network I printer, VPN, etc all together towards the top on.

    That should work well.  However, you may not aware that most of the PC and iOS devices not 'automatically' between different wireless access points as they move from one place to the other.  For example, you have your iPhone near the time Capsule, so he'll be looking for a strong signal from the time Capsule. If you move the close AirPort Extreme iPhone or any other device 3rd... the iPhone usually will stay connected to wireless Time Capsule... even if a stronger signal may be available in another wireless access point. Nature of the beast with IOS devices.

    Thus, with most of the PC and iOS devices, you will have to get used to temporarily turn off the WiFi on the iOS device when you move from one place to the other, then re - turn on WiFi once the device is close to the other wireless access point. The iOS device then generally will pick up the strongest signal from the nearest access point.

    Portable Mac computers will generally do a good job of automatically 'switching' to pick up the best signal of different access points in you walking the laptop around the House.

    I have a cisco 8port 10/100POE switch managed... which I would also like to include in the network to connect to the servers and devices IP etc... It is possible.

    Yes, but the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme Gigabit Ethernet ports or 10/100/1000, then the switch is going to limit the maximum speed on the network at 100 Mbps when the devices are capable of much higher speed.  If you plan to invest in the installation of Ethernet wiring around the House, then you also want to invent a new Gigatibit Ethernet 10/100/1000 switch, because it will allow up to 10 times faster compared to a 10/100 switch network connections.

    can do this via Cat5 to the EXTREME at the 3rd device... or need to come directly from the TC?

    Yes, but it would be best to connect the switch to the time Capsule if it is an option.

    and could I still use it to take place between the TC and the 3rd Apple Airport device... as above?

    Yes

  • Cannot set the Airport Extreme to extend the existing network

    Network WiFi of my holiday home is provided by the router from my ISP (Time Warner). I have an Airport Extreme, which used to be configured to provide the WiFi network to another well, and I would use it to extend the existing on the TWC router network.

    I had a lot of trouble to do a factory reset on the Airport Extreme, but I'm sure I managed (by turning on with the pressed reset button) after several attempts. At least the extreme doesn't show signs of the old network, he has provided.

    When I try to set it up in the Airport utility, he wants only to create a new network. If I click on 'Other Options' and select 'Add to an existing network', the next screen is titled "This Airport Extreme will create a network" and prompts to enter a new network name and password. (Specifying the name of the network current generates an error because the network already exists, as I expect for the creation of a new network.)

    Any ideas on how to tweak this Airport Extreme by extending a network?

    TIA,

    Doug

    P.S. I have reviewed plugging extreme in one of the TWC router EtherNet ports and create its own WiFi network (with the advantage of adding support for 5 GHz), but the last time I tried I lost all connectivity; I'm afraid that the ISP network might protect against too broad network, although the glitch may have been a coincidence. If anyone has experience/ideas on this alternative configuration, I might be willing to try again.

    AirPort Extreme would not be able to connect using a wireless connection and to extend the wireless network of the ISP, but if you can connect the AirPort Extreme to the ISP using a permanent router, wired Ethernet cable, then AirPort Extreme could be used to provide broader coverage of wireless in this way signal.

  • Sansa Clip: Loading screen saver: can manually enable us to extend the life of the screen?

    What charge the Sansa Clip: after an hour, the screen turns white (a screen saver, I guess).

    I would like to activate the screen saver immediately, to extend the duration of the display.  Is it possible to do?

    Or maybe in a version of firmware future, so a sequence button turn it on.

    Unless the life of the screen is much longer than the lifetime of the unit in general...

    Thanks for your time.

    As far as I know, you can't do it manually now.

    This is the reason why some people with an adapter for recharging: when charging via AC, the display shuts off after setting the time of the backlight of your display.

    Indeed, even if it bugs some of us, it is likely that display time of 1 hour during USB charging will not significantly affect the ultimate lifecycle of the screen, in the end; If I remember correctly, the screen has a life expectancy of 5000 hours or something like that (sorry, it's been a while) - it is 208 days of fulltime show all day/night long.  By the time you reach this point, probably, if ever, the battery life may have been reached, or you probably may have gone to another player, as technology improves over time.  But it's all unique to each user (if you are more rare than the user who guard 8 hours per day, life of the screen display will be reached about 1.7 years; if you use your player lot every day and are charging every day, charging via AC could save you 365 hours of projection of the time per year (, the equivalent of almost a month of 1.7 years screen time), and so you can recharge via AC just to cover as much as possible.  (More realistic, if your screen is on for 2 hours a day, which is still a lot, unless you really keep your screen on a lot, the screen should last for about 7 years or more - think where you will be and what technology you are using maybe at this time.)
