How to add md1000 2.18 TB disk array to ESX host

Hi, I am very new to VMware, and I try to add a picture of 2.18 TB md1000 disk to an ESX host.  When I go through the storage add wizzard, I see that he sees the md1000 2.18 TB of capacity, but shows only 1.8 GB available.  Anyone know what kind of configuration, I need to do for all the show of 2.18 TB as being available?

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

2 TB is the maximum for a single LUN.  You need to decreate your size of the LUN to less than 2 TB.

  • How to locate the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Hi all

    Please help on this

    How to find and configure the fiber channel SAN disks on the ESX Server

    Concerning

    Vijay

    Assuming that you have configured LUNS on your storage space itself you will need to ensure that the ID in the world of fiber HBA on the host ESX (you can see them registered against fiber HBA under storage adapters, WWID) are configured on the switch of fiber access (read and write).

    In the VI Client connected to your ESX host, select the storage adapters tab and highlight the Fibre HBA. Right-click and select Rescan. If you have correctly configured the SAN and the Fibre switch, then the LUNS now appear under the fiber HBA. Go to storage and select Add storage. Follow the wizard through to add LUNS and VMFS format. Do this for each ESX host that you want to see the LUNS.

    what you need to do is really, make sure the logic unit number is empty, remove the LUN of your stocks of VI.  From there, ask enterprise to after LUN storage team.  When they have been the team of storage upnpresented, rescan your storage adapters, and logical unit number should not be more visible to your VI.

  • Add more disk space for the ESX host

    Hi all

    I need to throw more disk space to my ESX hosts.  I know how to bind records in Navisphere and present to the ESX host.  Once in the VI client, I "think" I need to go to the host and do a rescan of the HBA or something like that?  I'm a little unsure of the market of part VI to add more disk space.  Could someone just point me in the right direction?  Please note that I am looking to add more disks to existing hosts in existing clusters.  It adds no storage to a new host... rather an existing one.

    Thank you

    Jonathan

    You are on the right track.  Re-scan storage card, under the configuration tab select storage adapters, select the adapter and click on the link of the new analysis.  Then go to the storage section and there should be a link in the top right of the screen that says storage Add.  Click on that and it will guide you in adding/setting in form/naming of the new disk.

  • How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

    I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host?

    Thanks for any help.

    I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

  • How to add ASM Disk to Disk Group that is displayed as a MEMBER?

    Hello

    We have a Production Oracle RAC on HP - UX. We have two disk groups for Arcive (ARC_DISK) and the other for Database (DATA_DISK).

    Today, I wanted to add another 200 GB of disk space to DATA_DISK group.

    I opened DBCA and did not find the new drive in the option "show the candidates." But after that the administrator modified Unix ownership and permission to drive, it has been shown in the option "show the candidates." I chose this drive and continued but got an error later because we changed the ownership and permission of the 2nd Unix server. After doing this, when I opened DBCA to add disk, nothing does not appear in the option 'Show candidates', but when you click on "Show All", the new drive is listed as MEMBER (header status) but not assigned to a disk group.

    I would like to know how to distribute this disk (which is already displayed as a MEMBER) to DATA_DISK - ASM diskgroup. It is a system of production database.

    Rgds,

    Thiru

  • Need to know how to add 1.44 drive VM 2008 Server

    Hello

    I must add my Server 2008 VM 1.44 TB of storage.  These are the things that I've done so far.

    1. on the EMC SAN, I created 1.44 to iSCSI LUNS.

    2. Add the storage on my ESX servers

    3 - I created Windows 2008 Server

    I'm going to change the settings on my VM box and click Add the hard drive

    I choose "create a new virtual disk

    For the size of the disc: I choose to 1.44 and change GB TB and for the location, I choose my data store.

    I get an error message:

    "The enterned of disk space was not properly trained number or was out of reach.  It was replaced by the vaule of more acceptable. »

    The value she chooses is 256 GB.

    So my question is how I create a 1.44 to disk and attach it to my Windows Server.

    Thank you.

    You will have to redo the data store and change the size of the block. With a block size of 1 M (the default value), the maximum disk size is 256GB. You will want to choose 8MB.

    Thanks for the screenshots, very useful.

    Once divide you it into different tracks, and each track is another file on the disk (as shown in your Windows Explorer / Finder screenshot), you'll want to:

    • Go through each file
    • Enter the metadata you want via the metadata Panel (see below)
    • Save each file
