  How can I change the looks of Access Infrastructure Web location for the virtual machine files?

  My default is set to MACHINES C:\VIRTUAL.  But I want to change it to turn to an external drive connected with an eSata cable. Can I do this?

  Hello

  Add just like a new data store.

  Login to your web access, select your host (not the virtual machines) in the left menu.

  You should see a link on the right side with "Add data store", give it a name of store and add the directory.

  Now, you can add a virtual machine to this place.

  Good luck!

• ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

  ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

  Objective: move vmdk to store data with adequate storage and then increase storage D: 20G to 100G

  Converter is not available on this architecture. Can I migrate cold vm to the different data store, no prob.

  Question: Without use of the converter, method 3 can be used without a secondary vm? In other words, just by using target vm offline, online, offline? Or is it a problem of signing/OS disk on the Windows Virtual PC?

  I need to move vmdk in different LUN and extend drive vm windows on D: (non-OS drive). Is this possible via the single procedure? Options?

  To use method 3 to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81121 requires available vm 'secondary', I did not.

  Method 3? Using of vmkfstools and another VM of Windows to extend a drive

  o stop the VM to resize

  o log in the console ESX Server via Putty

  o Type? vmkfstools? X & lt; new size of drive & gt; vmfs/volumes / & lt; storage volume name & gt;. / & lt; virtual server name & gt;. / & lt; the virtual disk name & gt;? That is to say. /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/my_vm.VMDK new disk size can be specified in kilo, mega, or gigabytes and will be the total size of the new disk. So if you want to increase a virtual disk of 20 GB of 24GO you would put 24000 m or 24g

  o the second virtual machine to help stop

  o change the second virtual machine settings and add the first virtual machine hard drive

  o power on the second VM and load the disk management snap-in and verify that the first virtual machine disk has unallocated on it space

  o select Start, run and enter diskpart.exe

  o the command? the list of volume? This will show you all the volumes.

  o select your volume based on the results of the list volume command, IE. ? Select volume 1?

  o type the command? extend? to extend the volume

  o check again the disk management snap-in and the volume is expected to be expanded with a greater ability

  o stop the second VM and remove (do not remove) the record of it

  o turn your first VM and the new space should be there and ready to use.

  Also, I'm already aware of Dell extpar:

  http://www.RTFM-ed.co.UK/?p=1310

  http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us & CS = 19 & l = in & s = DHS & ReleaseID = R64398 & formatcnt = 2 & starts = 83929

  for VI3, vmoiton of storage is made by RCLI plugin or a 3rd party

  I prefer the plugin

  http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/VMware-ESX-articles/VMotion-DRS-high-availability/storage-VMotion-SVMotion-VI-plugin.html

  In addition, if the option to increase the size of the disk in the VIC is grayed out, it sounds like a permissions issue.  Finally, you can not extend the disc using the VIC, if the customer in question has a snapshot.

  I have the time but not the date in my notification area of the taskbar, how can I add the date?

  Right-click in an empty area of the taskbar, click Properties and then on the tab of the properties task bar, clear the check mark next to "Small icons"  This, of course, also means that the taskbar will be slightly higher, and you won't have the small icons.

• How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

  I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

  When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?

  
  

  Thank you

  When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

• USB HDD as a data store and storage of VMS and new virtual machines

  I have a server Esxi 4.1 with 1 TB RAID 5 storage and 3 virtual machines. The storage is full and no space for another HARD disk, so my question is: would it be possible to use a USB HDD as a data store and could be included as a storage for new virtual machines or the VM? If so, could someone let me know how to do it because I'm not able to detect the HARD disk on the host itself.

  No, it is not possible to use a USB drive as a data store.

• Can I add a data store that already has data on it without destroying the data?

  I test different stratagems of DR and a scenario uses the ability of a SAN to snap_clone a vDisk, I will here mention sellers , then present the vDisk magnetized to the members of the cluster.  I know I can present this back to a host as a different disk/lun, but not sure how or if I can get a host to a point where I can navigate the data store and retrieve, for example, a single virtual machine.  Does anyone have experience or ideas around that?

  Thanks in advance,

  If I understand your question, you want to see a component data store snap-in (at the level of storage)?

  In this case, that you must use DisallowSnapshotLUN = 0

• How can I add a date stamp to a picture after it's already been downloaded in a file?

  A client asked I have add a stamp to date of photos already in a file. Can I go back and add a date to these pictures?

  If you want to add a date stamp on the face of the
  photos... the following free software can be useful to
  a try.

  FWIW... you can add the date corresponding to one
  or a batch of photos using the free software
  FastStone Image Viewer.

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  FastStone Image Viewer
  http://www.FastStone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm

  I suggest that you create a new folder and add
  copies of your photos for experimental purposes.
  If you are unhappy with the result your originals
  will be intact.

  "Basic steps to add dates to image files.
  using Fast Stone Image Viewer'...
  (FWIW... it's easier to do than to explain)

  (You may need to experiment with the post office, police
  size, color and different Variables to achieve
  the desired result).

  Tools / open the Batch Conversion / tab Batch convert...

  Check the box... Use of advanced options...

  Advanced Options button / tab text.
  Check the box... Add text...
  (If the white field has any text inside...
  by selecting erase it and press your delete key...

  Open the window drop... "Insert a Variable."
  choose... EXIF DateTime / Date and time... Ok...

  Browse for the files you want to attach... Select
  them and on the left, click on the Add button...

  Choose an output Format...

  Choose an output folder...

  Check the "Rename..."

  Click on the button convert...

  When the files are converted... Click done...

  Now go to your backup folder and see the result...

• How can I add more date/time

  Hello, I want to create a site with articles because its customers for events of music in my country. I can find a way to do it. Any ideas?

  Also, I want to add the date and time.

  To learn more:

  You can do this in different ways.

  1. create a page containing the long text. Create the short text in another page and make a link like "read more" to the full text.

  2. position the full text in another point of the same page and use an anchor text to access via the link "read more".

  3. (most interesting) use an Accordion widget to show/hide long text

• How can I add a data cd that I burned in my windows media library?

  I was about to do a cover of the plant out-of-box and burned all my music and photos on several CD in the form of data. I made the recovery. I can get the CD to play in windows media, but for the life of me, the rip options or anything else I try just won't let me get those files in my library. Can someone please? Or is this beyon repair problem?

  No need to rip CD data - you can just use Windows Explorer to copy MP3 files from your music collection CD personal. After that, they should appear automatically in the WMP library.

• Deployment of a virtual machine from a store of data with less space, but enough for the virtual machine

  I received this delicate task, and I can understand not just how to replace all parts.

  I need to create a script that will be smartly decided what data store to deploy a virtual computer.  We do not want to deploy in a data store that has the most space, we want to deploy to the data store that has the least space but can still account for the space for the (vm + 5%) and still leave 50 GB free on the lun after the move.

  Thus, for example, if the virtual machine is 40 GB, we want the script to select the data store that has a close to 90 GB available without being under.

  So my thought for this approach is:

  • Create the query to get all the relevant LUNS.  This excludes all the LUNS with the 'local' name in it and excludes all LUN owners (who have a slightly different naming convention then our general shared storage LUNS)
    • This piece, which I partially understood
      • Get-datastore. WHERE-object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')}
    • Now, I need to get all of their total size and free space.  Perhaps export this list to a CSV, however if I have to.
    • Create a variable that contains: the size of the total virtual machine to the virtual machine that is deployed before its deployment.
    • Deduct vm size against each data store size and pull in some way that that also close to 50 GB free on the data store and still facilitates the deployment of the vm.
      

  I have a few other scripts, I scrounged on the internet that I tried to restore... but I just don't calm not having all the pieces...

  • Get-Datastore. Where-Object {$_.} ParentFolder-match 'Internal'} ' | Select-Object - property data center, FreeSpaceMB, CapacityMB name, ' | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceMB
  • Select-Object Name,@{n="CapacityGB";e={[math]::round (($_.)) {{(CapacityMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpaceGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(FreeSpaceMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}} | Sort-Object FreeSpaceGB

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  -Knotz

  Try something like this

  # Get all data warehouses

  $ds = get-Datastore. Where-Object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')} |

  Select-Object Name,

  @{n = "CapacityGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(CapacityMB/1024))}}.

  @{n = "FreeSpaceGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(FreeSpaceMB/1024))}}.

  @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}}

  {foreach ($vm in Get - VM)

  # Find possible candidates

  $candidates = $ds | where {($_.)} FreeSpaceGB - $vm. (UsedSpaceGB-50) - gt 0}

  # Find the best candidate

  $target = $candidates | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceGB-descending | Select - 1 first

  Write-Output "VM $($vm.). Name) can go to $($target.) (Name) ".

• My hard drive has disappeared and now I have a new without my old key - how can I get my data on my new hard drive?

  all the data on my old hdd is lost after an accident. so I changed it with a new hard drive. but the old sync key is no longer available. I generated a new key so I lost my old date stored with synchronization... is possible to restore old data from my old drive hard key sync...?

  Sorry, no. The SyncKey key is used for encryption / decryption during the synchronization process, without the key synchronization that was used to encrypt your personal data as it has been uploaded to the storage server Sync your data has no value. In addition, when you generate a new key for synchronization of an existing account, all data that are saved on the server for this account is removed for your safety.

  Do you still have the old HDD? It can work long enough for you to extract your Firefox data, if you put this disc in a drive USB enclosure and access it as an external drive.
