Hereditary ESXi Server - needs more storage. Where to start?

I inherited a Dell PowerEdge R710, 2 x Intel Xeon 2.13GHz16 GB memory 2 x 1 TB SATA (7200 RPM) drives in RAID 1.

The server is full with existing images, so I ordered 4 x 1 TB drives that just arrived. The server will be 3 TB RAID1 after I installed new readers

Now my question is:

How can I save existing server?

How to reconfigure with new storage?

How to migrate images again ESXi server.

Thanks in advance, T

How can I save existing server?

If you do not already have a backup I place, it's time to think

How to reconfigure with new storage?

In your case, I just plug the new players and create 2 other sets RAID1 with 2 hard drives. You'd have to divide the size anyway because of the limit of records ~ 2 TB of ESX (i). Once you have created the new RAID1 sets, introduce them as 1 TB logical volumes to the OS (ESXi) and create VMFS data warehouses. That way you will end up with 3 stores of data on which you can place virtual machines, which IMO is a better approach than the construction of 1 large data store.

If you create additional data warehouses there no need for migration. If you want to distribute the existing VM.

    What is the maximum I can add to my laptop? And does make sense to do?

    On the largest practical size warehouse readers coming always internally are about 1, 000 GB.

    To go more than you would have to decide if the portability was an important issue, because additional disks should probably be external. The Mac can support dozens of external hard drives. If you do not carry them, 'office' readers are faster and can be found in larger sizes. Their PIN 12-volt Motors require a lot more power that can be provided using Bus power, while they use their own power supplies.

  • Server consolidation and virtualization - where to start?

    Hi guys,.

    Always on the virtualization for my college project - what is the best way to determine how to consolidate a small group of (physical) servers underutilized? The servers have different operating and one or two applications that are installed on all systems. CPU utilization varies from 1% for some servers to 65% in one case. How to analyze which servers can be consolidated? More importantly - how I have set the hardware configuration required to host these virtual servers?

    Well, you need to do an 'assessment '. you could do it using VMware Capacity Planner, or products of third party such as: PlateSpin Recon, Lanamark 5nine, immune,.

    This product allows you to control the use and creates reports that will let you know what equipment fits your needs

    Help?

    The computer may have a partition recovery integrated for exactly this.  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 right after turning on the computer.  For HP, press F10.  Or use a CD-ROM to recovery supplied with your computer.

    Be sure to back up all your data files on an external support first.

  • More storage for the team needed!

    We have a team and now filled subscription our storage of 100 GB. We need more storage! Where? How?

    Furthermore, Adobe claims '100 GB by team member' - TOTALLY NOT TRUE, this simply means, that each Member of the team has access to 100 GB total storage space of cloud of the team. So THIS I call a misleading total or even marketing lie. VERY UPSET about this. It is also stupid enough, that means, no matter if the team consists of 2 and 10 members, the storage remains the same tiny 100 GB. As if the other members would create no more data.

    I wonder if you use it properly in this matter as 100 is available for everyone? You can always use another system like Dropbox for businesses such as storage is obviously costs more money, but solves your problems

  • Access NAS storage of ESXi Server using VMKernel Port?

    Hello

    I would like to know the best procedure to connect to the NAS storage of ESXi host 5. I am able to connect to the NAS storage according to the screenshots listed in the link below.

    http://www.tintri.com/blog/2011/11/connecting-vSphere-to-NFS-the-easy-way/

    But, I saw different configurations in the past where port dedicated VMkernel is assigned to NAS and all storage goes into network 10 G. I try to do the same and created a VMkernel for NAS port. But I don't think that traffic is going over there as it is not used at all.

    I gave the IP address of the ESXi server on the NAS box to get access. I couldn't give address IP VMkernel sideways NAS. How can I make use of this IP VMKernel dedicated NFS storage?

    I want to implement the best way to pass NAS 10 G network traffic. In addition, How can I test if storage traffic crosses VMkernel port?

    Suggestions needed.

    Virtualinfra is right that you must use a different subnet for NFS traffic. You masked the IP range, so I don't see what you use, but make sure that the vmkernel and storage using a single subnet, not the management subnet. If you get an error, your use of a subnet that goes out the default gateway of the management port, or that you are using the same subnet.

    I wrote a few articles on the use of NFS with vSphere: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/04/19/nfs-on-vsphere-a-few-misconceptions/

    Also, make sure that the vmnic can route traffic on that subnet, as in the case of the use of VLANs.

    To get more than 2 GB, the CC plan must changed into full with 20 GB creative cloud or cloud creative team with 100 GB of each seat.

    Prices will also vary.

  • Using a single ESXi Server HA...

    I'm testing VSphere HA for the possible deployment in a small business environment.  Here's my question:

    I realize that the destination account of AH is to have features of failover using 2 or more servers ESX... since I don't have that a single ESXi server running 12 comments VM... can I use HA to restart a virtual machine that stops unexpectedly?

    So then... with this be configured?  I guess you must always define a Cluster... with an ESX Server... but what else would be needed.

    Thank you...

  • Needs of storage and database on the operations of vCenter 5.0.2

    Hello

    After crossing the requirements to get the latest version of vCenter Operations Manager 5.0.2 I noticed that the system can be deployed on Windows and that it is has supported for MS SQL databases. This brings me several questions:

    1. is it a preferred means of deployment vCOPs, OS vs virtual appliance?

    2. If I decide to go for a Windows installation can I installed everything on a virtual computer, so I don't have to use two: Analytics and UI?

    3. pressed for MS SQL, but there is still a requirement for a FSDB, so an external database support brings just more storage needs?

    4. is the external database needed if you use the version of VAPP vCOPs?

    Now on the sizing of the FSDB requirement for 1 million parameters is 1.5 to, what is the minimum of FSDB on an environment less size of 250 VMS?, the FSDB can span multiple vmdk files to facilitate commissioning of storage?

    I appreaciate all the comments of these issues.

    Thank you

    Juan.

    Juan,

    I highly recommend the vApp and not the version of Windows Installer.  First of all, the standalone install of vC Ops does not analyze the ability which is included in the paralytic.  Second, your environment (250 mV) is well served with the deployment of VAPP vC Ops in the small configuration (which supports up to 1500 virtual machines).

    There is no reason for you to deploy the standalone version, will give you features and the UI designed specifically for vSphere.  You would give the value you paid for the Enterprise edition.
