VM Ware converter works, it allows you to clone a new virtual machine to a size you want (it cannot be less than what's inside the guest) and then delete the original after having checked that it worked.

  • After extending local RAID volume, additional space is not less add storage

    I have a Dell PE2900. It has 6 x 300 GB disks in a RAID5 volume.

    The other night, I added 2 extra 300 GB drives for the server, and then using OpenManage, I added these disks to the existing RAID5 volume. At the same time, I decided to convert it to a RAID6 volume. It's a converted / rebuild / not destructive process.

    It completed OK (took 2 days to get in the background).

    All of the above tasks were conducted with the ESX Server turned on and operation of the virtual computer. No problem here.

    When I look at my data stores, the is original VMFS volume 1.36 TB.

    When I go to the storage cards section and select the Dell PERC 6 / i adapter, I see 2 volumes of x. One of them is 1.63 TB LUN and the other is 278 GB.

    When I return to my data warehouses, I select the TB VMFS 1.36 and select Properties.

    In the new window, it shows (see screenshot):

    1.63 TB capacity

    Primary partitions: VMFS 1.36 TB

    If I click the button increase here, a new window pops up, but additional 278 GB DOES NOT appear here (window is empty, select No and click Next).

    If I try to add a new VMFS volume, the additional GB of 278 also appears (window is empty, select No and click Next).

    I haven't restarted the ESX Server again... downtime, I wish I had time for.

    Does anyone know of a way to make the ESX Server use the new free space on the disk?

  • Do not free up space PS4000 Volume?

    Hi all, a couple of questions.  You wonder why I see available numbers space very different in the EQL web gui vs vsphere client?  In the EQL GUI I shows 330 GB of free, but I show in vsphere client, 674 GB free.  Which seems to occur, is when I use a space on my volume EQL and then later release this space, it does not appear that EQL publishes the space.  for example, I svmotion a vm large volume 1 and Dell GUI brings additional space used.  I then move the same volume 2 system, but Dell's GUI displays always the same space used on volume 1?

    Yes, it's exactly what it means, but that's fine.  The table does not indicate the OS, that it is "full".  The operating system will re-use blocks as needed.  It's the OS that knows what the blocks are available. She did this through his allocation table.  The table is only responds to requests from the server.   SCSI when writing you usually see the SCSI "WRITE10" command  Who has the number of block to save him and to put data.  The table has everything just as it says.   He doesn't care that it's already been written about.

    With the new SCSI UNMAP command, the OS can now pass this info along to the storage device.

    It basically says UNMAP/FREE block X

  • Snapshots and free disk space

    We are trying generally do not use snapshots and when we do, we try to limit it to 1 day. Use increased and basic snapshot backups, I had questions on space.

    Of course, snapshots can eat space on your data store.

    1. In ESX 3.5, VC 2.5, there is any permettai to protect against a snapshot using all the free space on a data store?

    2. What happens on the snapshot server if the data store running out of space?

    3. What happens to the other servers on the data store.

    4. One of these responses change when using VSphere?

    I guess it would be bad enough for all virtual machines, but I would like to know what should to the extent of the behavior of ESX and the individual virtual machines. Also, it seems that it could be problematic for backups of snapshot of base for the same reasons.

    What people do to protect themselves against this scenerio?

    .

    Add to the previous comments, no additional built-in security for vSphere, but there in vSphere:

    1. more than storage associated alerts available

    2. the views of report good in vCenter GUI that contain usage data snapshot to be able to see the impact on the use of the disc

    I have a personal dislike for snapshots that I wouldn't be surprised if their misuse is the most common cause of VMware on virtual machine failures, because otherwise the VMware is a very stable platform.  They have a specific for certain purposes but are no longer used, without a good knowledge of the impact, by administrators.

    The negative impacts of snapshots space usage can be:

    1 virtual disk i/o performance very slow as snapshot becomes large

    2 VM becomes unresponsive for long periods while the big shots are removed

    3. freezing of the other virtual machines on the data store

    4. potential corruption of virtual machines during attempts to free up space and resume operation

    As a consultant by deploying new VMware environments and give administrators new to VMware, I do see a lot of use of this 'instant cool feature' and try to warn against its administrators traps I speak directly.  However, I have seen these problems occur more often I want.

  • Mobile library did not free disk space

    I got my Macbook GB 512 Pro flew a few weeks back and I bought a MacMini I have another laptop.

    The MacMini is only a 250G SSD and its already full.

    I have storage iCloud but everything still seems to want to live on my SSD.

    I moved the photo library (30G) of the SSD to a USB attached (formatted OSX extended) and naively expected to free up space when I deleted the original PL and emptied the Recycle Bin after you did.

    Unfortunately there were no releasing 30 g at all and I still have the same problem.

    My SSD Mac was / is also showing 20G of movies, all deleted or left the trashed SSD (and empty) - all this without release all space.

    I am unable to save or update my iPad Pro due to lack of space (about 10 G of free disk SSD) - The MacMini tells me that there is not enough space on the SSD drive.

    I is turned off and turned back on iCloud Photos and fact will restart but not luck. All my photos are safe in iCloud, so I don't really know what I have to do to free up space.

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index of the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.)

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can, if you wish, use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that the ODS only works with OS X 10.8 ("Mountain Lion") and later versions.

    IMPORTANT: This comment is neither a recommendation nor an endorsement of any third party software. You should always do your own research to determine if the unknown software is safe and useful. Don't take the word of anyone, including mine.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • I deleted my pictures and videos to free up space on my iPhone 6, but the settings and iTunes still say that I've not left storage. Help, please.

    Hello

    I have an iPhone 6 and uses iOS 9.3.2,and I recently deleted all my pictures and videos to free up space, "Manage the storage" in still however said circles I 23.4 GB of photos/videos like iTunes when I connect my iPhone to my Mac. I deleted my recently deleted folder and follow the instructions of a guy showing a year, which suggests to set my phone date about two years back and deleting the photos recently deleted the file and both of these solutions do not work. I have reset my phone (home and power button operation / stop) and also, it does not work. I don't want to wipe my phone and restore it if possible, but it's the only option I can think of next.

    Are there other solutions before I try this?

    Thanks in advnace

    Ben

    Hey Ben,

    Thanks for stopping by the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you are trying to free up space on your iPhone by deleting all the photos and videos, and you still see 23.4 GB absorbed by these files. You have already made sure to empty your recently deleted album, fix the date of return on your phone and performed a hard reset on your device. You did an excellent job so far, and I'll be happy to give you some ideas to move forward from here.

    Before diving into other troubleshooting procedures, it would be useful to ensure that you have a recent backup of your iPhone is available. This will help us ensure that all your important data is stored safely for you. Here is an article with information on how to backup your device:

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once it is in place, I recommend you to reset the settings on your phone. This is not the impact of your personal data, but you will have to perhaps adjust the user specific settings, but also re - enter passwords and Wi - Fi networks. To complete this step, go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings. When you restart your phone, check if the local storage on your phone has updated to reflect the changes you did related to your photos and videos.

    Beyond that, you want to look at your phone erase and reset to the factory settings. It is possible that some kind of software corruption causes the divergence of storage that you are experiencing. Set up your phone as a new device via iTunes install a new copy of iOS and also to exclude the corrupted files, etc. in your user data. This is a resource for this process:

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

    For later use, it may be useful to use iCloud photo library to transfer and store your photos. There is a feature that allows you to optimize the storage on your iPhone so that your photos and your videos do not have as much local storage space. Check out this resource to learn more about iCloud photo library:
