Help wanted | How to increase virtual disk space

IM using ubuntu as my client machine and esxi 4.1 running on the server dell 2850. My image is initially sized like 15 GB, but I want to expand to 100 GB, which is the amount available in the actual physical drives attached to the server.

If I try to change the disk space by changing the settings it does not change the internal space used by ubuntu. ?

Can someone help me how can I change the settings for the virtual disk grows as the capacity of the physical drives increases?

Thank you

If you originally created a thin provisioned disk then it will behave as you describe, but you still need to expand the space inside your file of Ubuntu system using gparted. Download the live CD of gparted.

  • 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.

    Hi J.Forsberg,

    The images that you have on LR Mobile, they synchronize from LR Office or are they film.

    If they come from LR Desktop then images don't take up much space because they only thumbnails that are created.

    Also please check on your iPad app consumes the most space: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201656

    Please let us know if it helps.

  • Need help to create a rule to monitor only Linux VMs on my virtual disk space production center

    I am trying to create a rule that will follow my Linux VM disk space. I have three virtual centres Foglight and I'm having a hard time trying to understand how to implement the rule. I tried by name as, but I can't understand how to restrict to a certain VC. I have no common naming convention for machines virtual linux.

    VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name like ' mq %, WFD, fam, fdb % % %, % of the MAS ")

    or

    VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name like ' / %'))

    The first says the scope is valid but gives me nothing in the Rulette and no warning. The other gives me all virtual machines with their VM number but still not get all type of alerts.

    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    Brian,

    Thanks to a bouquet. I tried to get this to work for several days. I modified it to include only Linux as the example above always gave me some Windows file systems.

    VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (virtualMachine.virtualCenter.name like 'vCenter %' and virtualMachine.host.os.longName = "Linux (OperatingSystem)")

  • Increase the disk space on a virtual computer which was extracted

    I have my computer running virtual Windows 7 checked. I then checked back in the VM. I need to increase disk space on drive C (the winSxS directory seems to never stop growing). But there is a snapshot on the disc 'View Local Mode of instantaneous anchorage'. What are the consequences of the removal of the snapshot myself in order to increase the size of the disk? Throw this out of sync between my laptop and the virtual computer and require all of ~ 30 GB to download again?

    Hello
    If a replication extracted from a desktop computer, a snapshot of the local desktop is created and then the changes are replicated with the data center.
    If you delete the snapshot, you ensure that you validate the changes.  This force probably allows you to download all of the Office during the next Check-Out operation.

  • Increase hard disk space

    I have a Windows Server 2008 running on ESXi 4.0. It has about 30 GB free on C:, I'll need to add more space to this server. If I went into the settings on this machine virtual and changed the size of the allocated VM disk space of 60 gigs in 160 concerts that I would have another 100 GB available, right?

    I don't think that I want to use any kind of type of Partition Magic software to increase the size of the C: because I have not played with this software before. I might add rather a D: drive on the server.

    So, if I add another 100 GB of space on the computer, virtual and then go in the disk of the Server Manager will I see 100 GB of unallocated space that I can then create a partition to format and assign a drive (d) Letter to? Is is - this simple?

    Thanks much for any help. I appreciate it.

    I'm not 100% sure Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 allows you to increase the size of the partition in the management of the disks on the fly. No need of any tools 3rd party. You can try first to increase the virtual disk e.g. 1 GB and test it and if it works it increase to the desired size.

  • How to increase virtual memory in Windows XP

    Original title: HOW can I INCREASE MY VIRTUAL MEMORY?

    I just talked with Francis during one of your help sites.  I'm kinda comfused.  Search using your hand on my email?  He did not make this very clear part.

    The problem is that I run of virtual memory.  What should I do to increase memory.  Looking at "My Computer", I have a lot of memory left.  I used GB 35.6, 144 GB of free space and a total capacity of 180 GB on my 'C' drive, so I don't understand why I keep runing of virtual memory.  How affecting my virtual memory? This happens usually when I play games on Facebook.

    My computer freezes at the top and then I get the message that my memory virtual memory is low.  If you could help me, I would be very happy.  I got so frustrated I stopped playing games I love, especially as these games include family and friends.

    Please help me.

  • Used virtual disk space

    Myself in trouble and am not sure how best to cope. Got a Windows Server 2008 that is configured with a 95 GB HD (which is 95% of 100 GB virtual disk) and now I am unable to create snapshots due to lack of availaable to free space on the data store. I used the disk option "shrink" management Windows disk and reduced the size of the 'C' of 75GB drive and ran the option boom of VMware Tools, which is not the amount of free space on the data store, as seen in VCenter. Also see desperate to back up the data by removing the server and re-building/restoration with a smaller drive 'C' does anyone know of all the other options I could try? Thank you.

    you have an another data store you want Storage vMotion the guest in quesiton to?

  • Additional virtual disk space not usable in Windows

    I resized a virtual disk of virtual machines by changing properties and then used a live CD partitioning tool to resize the partition.  Inside windows disk manager, it shows that the additional disk space as if the size of the Windows partition has been increased with success.  However, when I look at the properties of the hard drive in Windows, the extra size does NOT appear and it is not usable or accessible to the file system.  Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

    Thank you

    I had exactly this before strange point of view and could not explain it. Seemed rather strange that the operating system will appear to display the disk space as allocted but the extra space was not available (even when checking the query WMI etc.)

    Ultimately, however, EXTPart has remedied the problem for me. (and quickly)

    If you do not use EXTPart, you can use the converter to recreate the disk.

  • Question: How can I change disk space for partitioned disks?

    I'm having a problem using top too much disk space on my (vista) C drive on my satellite L500, now that I've filled with iTunes music files. I want to use a part of the E drive to 'Add' on the C drive space. Is this possible?

    Also, could I just use the E-drive to add anyway, if I told iTunes to look for a few songs and C E for others? E has special properties like the recovery partition that can complicate things?

    Thanks if anyone can help!

    Hello

    1 delete all the files and unnecessary programs from the disk: C to the freed space.
    2. move all the movies, photos, music on the disk E;
    3. If you use the Download Manager to download files, you can change the path where to save the downloaded files in your local case: E

    You can change the size of the partition in administrative tools in Control Panel. However, I prefer to use a partition manager paragon to resize partitions on my computers. Before add/create partitions, make sure that you have made a recovery disk.

  • How to use unknown disk space?

    Original title: "unknown space"

    Hi I m shivani I have a problem I have three unknown 18.6 GB disk space can u tell me how to use these discs. Please allow me to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    If it is unallocated space, the first step is to create a partition: http://Windows.Microsoft.com/fr-fr/Windows-Vista/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition.  Also read the articles referenced for additional information on the implementation of these partitions correctly.

    Once the partitions are created they can be expanded or narrowed (as long as they are contiguous) If you care about this:http://Windows.Microsoft.com/fr-fr/Windows-Vista/Create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition.  This can be done in readers, but only in the same drive.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
