expand comments drive

Together-hard drive - disk hard $Disk - CapacityGB $extendedCapacityTo - GuestCredential $guestCred - confirm: $false

the disk is extended, but not in the guest OS, am I missing something?  The $guestCred is a domain administrator and I can log on to the virtual computer with the creds fine

Hello, Robszar55-

I would say that the partition of comments is not resized because of the way that you use the cmdlet Set - hard drive .  While you use essentially 2 example of aid for the hard drive game, and this example clearly states that "the command extends also the guest operating system disk", it looks like this example lacks the parameter - ResizeGuestPartition.

By default, Set-hard drive will not attempt to resize the partition of comments.  Add the ResizeGuestPartition - parameter is the call of the cmdlet script file specific to the guest operating system that resides in the vSphere PowerCLI installation on your machine.  So, as:

Set-HardDisk -HardDisk $Disk -CapacityGB $extendedCapacityTo -ResizeGuestPartition -GuestCredential $guestCred -Confirm:$false

This involves a number of things:

(0) the hard drive with the partition you want to resize is not the system drive

(1) that the partition you want to resize is the last partition on the hard drive

If these are false assumptions, it's just a matter to specify additional parameters to the call of the whole HDD (and possibly make the resizing of the partition while the virtual machine is turned off).

But if these two assumptions are true, the code above a shot.

  • Expand D: drive of the virtual server while keeping the data?

    Hello

    We are running VMWare ESX 3.5. We invited Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise Server located on the server. Each guest has a 20 GB C: standard and we also build with a 20 GB D: both hard drives are separate VMDK files

    I have a server where we need the extended to 30 GB drive D:. Unfortunately, there are already data on the D: drive.

    Anyone know how I can extend the D: existing 20 GB to 30 GB without losing any data? Wouldn't be a case to go to the properties of the Machine virtual > 2 hard disk > disk Provisioning and then change the size put into service 20 to 30? Then we can use Diskpart to extend the volume?

    This will keep data intact even if? Or are there other recommended methods?

    I don't remember for sure if on 3.5, you can expand on change them the settings, but you can certainly make using these instructions: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1007266

  • expand the drive?

    IM glad I made a lot of progress to make my vmserver 2 and comments from work, my question is I don't want to stop the comment server can do the largest disc well running the comment server.

    Ty Mark

    Must be stopped. Note that once the reader is expanded, you will also need to use all the supplies your guest operating system tools to extend partitions in this new free space. For example, for Windows clients, I use the 'extend' in diskpart command well noted that you cannot do it on the boot and partition you should temporarily add virtual disk on another computer virtual machine or use bootable WinPE or similar to expand it.

  • Pavilion: How I clean files (recovery) D-drive or expand the drive?

    I try to upgrade to WIndows 10, but not because the D drive is full. I tried to right click on the drive in disk management, but don't get a Help menu (which doesn't help).  I clicked on show hidden files, but the files in D are still hidden.

    LMA16501

    Basically - you do not have!  If you bother with the kind of recovery partition, you will 'break' and prevent you from then do any function of HP recovery.

    My guess is that you're trying to upgrade through Windows Update Win10 - which is the more error-prone and unreliable way to do.

    Instead, you must download and create this link installation media, insert the media while Win8.1 is running and see if it then you can perform the update: 10 Windows Installer using the media - Windows help authoring tool

  • Old hard drive PS3 by USB box not detected by Windows Vista

    Hello

    I recently updated my old HD PS3 40 GB with a 500 GB one. Since then, I bought an external HD for my old HD, in the hope that I could use it as a hard drive for some files I have. However, I encountered a big problem - Windows Vista does not detect the HD.

    So far I read a lot of posts on the internet with people having similar problems, but with no definitive answer, so I hoped to get :)

    So far, I've tested the speaker on both the different 40 GB and new 500 GB PS3 in HD, as well as 2-3 computers. Nor are detected by windows... both have the power (green light is on, and I can hear the disc rotation), but are not detected on the management of the devices or programs in 3rd (SwissKnife). As far as the computer is concerned, nothing is connected.

    Thinking that it was probably a hardware problem, I whipped my laptop HD out and connected on a separate computer and it worked without me even having to he invites. This leads me to believe that the device works perfectly and its something about the PS3 HD, who doesn't like Windows.

    The only thing I have not tried is put my old hard drive to the PS3 in the PS3 and reformatting. The only reason for this is a screw on the case of the PS3 has decided, that he's not budging despite all my efforts. Its now 12:45 and I'm too tired to fight with 1 screw more! :) I really don't know not how tabling in so well, 3 others went fine and I deliberately don't screw them in tight with the new HD after I read about the problems people have had by removing the screws.

    Someone at - it suggestions at all? How to get Windows to recognize that this has something plugged in, on how to remove that last screw embarrassing! Whatever that either would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

  • C: drive enlarge or extend the Win 7 problem

    Hi, I use windows 7 x64bit, recently I installed this OS but somehow during the partition I've entered by mistake a small amount in my C: Drvice (approximately 30 GB) only. Now, after the installation of all programs that I'm going to be necessary, my space memory disk c is declining and I need to extend my c drive volume to avoid another problem whenever I installed another program. Based on some forums and blogs to technical support, all I have to do is go to disk management and click with the right button on c drive and click on Extend Volume, but it is not clickable. Someone please help...: D thanks!

    Victory built in partititionneur has its limits, it can only develop if not used are right next to the C: partition.

    You must use a third-party partition manager, for example http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

    Resolution

    On RT click the desktop > screen resolution > make text and other items... etc.

    Is that what you're looking for

    I'll help you with this problem. I suggest you follow these steps to extend the primary partition:

    (a) right click on the partition (C:------) you want to extend in the now unallocated partition and click Extend Volume.

    (b) click on Next, welcome to the Volume Wizard window extend.

    (c) select the amount of space in MB to use of the unallocated partition to use to extend this partition.

    (d) If you want to redo a partition, select all of the space available for this disc. If there is other disks with unallocated disk space, they would have shown during the selection available.

    Note: It is recommended that you do not extend a volume on a disk with another disk free space. If one of the disks has a hardware failure, all data on that partition (volume) will be deleted.

    (e) click Next. Click Finish in the window end extend. You will now see the disk management console with the new extended partition volume ready to be used.

    (f) close computer management.

    (g) click computer in the Start Menu and see your new scope of partition volume.

    a. type devmgmt.msc in the search box start and press on Enter.
    (b) in Device Manager, expand display driver.

  • Windows 2003 base disk 0, expansion of drive c revisited.

    All,

    I have a Windows 2003 Standard VM with the following configuration;

    Basic disk 0 - C 30 GB, D 5 GB

    Basic disk 1 - E 20 GB

    What is required is to extend 30 to 60GB C and E of 20 to 60 GB. I know E ought to be extended, but C is the system and a basic disk. If possible how C can be extended with a minimum of effort and risk? As always the points to be awarded.

    Thank you in advance.

    It is very easy to do, here are the steps

    1. Assign the additional disk space for drive c:
    2. Turn off the prompt
    3. Add the c: drive to another customer
    4. Log on to the other guest and then rescan the disks
    5. you will see your drive it with the unallocated space.  extend it
    6. disconnect the disk of the new customer
    7. your original power prompt upward
    8. BINGO, it's done

    Alternatively, you can go through the pain of starting in a PE environment and expand the drive by using DISKPART.

    I hope that helps
