How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

Hello

I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

"In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

  • How to allocate disk space unused on my existing C: drive to leave me with a HARD drive?

    I have a HDD existing (c) to which I would add the 120 GB of space unallocated on my netbook. I use Windows 7 starter edition and so far, all the answers I've found are related to the partitions. I have already the disc labeled "System" and another small disk labeled 'partition of recovery in good health I would like to have all my other available memory allocated on the disk C: but I feel very difficult to achieve this goal. I must point out that I'm pretty technically inept and so I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you.

    You can only do this, if unallocated space is contiguous with the original disc of C.

    Press the Windows key + R to open the run and type diskmgmt.msc to open disk management.

    In the lower area, check available to the reader. If the "Recovery" partition is located between the 'System' drive C and your unallocated space then the drive cannot be extended to it.

    Your alternative is to create a new partition in unallocated space and use the location in many directories user profile tab to relocate them to the new partition to free up space on the C drive.

  • I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d

    I want to allocate more disk space for my c drive and remove the drive d. I 26 gig on the d drive and only using less than 1% of it, and I have the same amount on c, but only 39% c left. How to do this.

    LEM explained the problems that you tried to resize partitions on the same drive.

    You can create more free space in C in carrying one of the measures suggested below.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

    You can generate more space in the system (usually C) the folder move partition.

    For temporary Internet files, select Start, Control Panel, Internet Options, temporary Internet files. Settings and move back.

    To move the storage folder Outlook Express select from Outlook Express Tools, Options, maintenance, store folder and change.  http://www.tomsterdam.com/insideoe/files/store.htm.

    How to change the default location of the My Documents folder: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310147

    You may also change the default locations of the files in Microsoft Office programs when you choose to move the My Documents folder. For Word, go to tools, Options, file locations, highlight the Documents, click on edit and change the path. For Excel, go to tools, Options, general, and change the default path.

    My Documents is one of the many the created system of special folders, which include my pictures, and my music. It can be more easily modified using TweakUi. Download TweakUI, one of MS powertoys, here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp.

    In TweakUi, select workstation, special folders. You can scroll down to see the full list of special folders to the left of the button to change the location.

    You can move programs, but to do this, you must uninstall and reinstall the program. With Word and Excel, the existing data files are not affected by reinstalling. Most of the work in question is going to be reinstall all updates issued after those that are included with the original Microsoft CD / DVD.

    If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of your C partition you will some uninstall files in your Windows folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed text the name of the folder appears in blue. If these files are not compressed you can compress. Right-click on each folder and select Properties, general, advanced, and check the box before you compress contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the winning amount by deducting the size on disk size. File compression is only an option on an NTFS formatted disk partition / partition.

    I'd be interested to see a report of Disk Defragmenter. Open Disk Defragmenter and click analysis. Select view report, and then click Save as and save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents folder. Open the file, place the cursor anywhere in the file, select Edition, select all to select all the text and copy and paste into the body of your message. To do this, before you run Disk Defragmenter because it is more informative.

    Select Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, cleaning disk to emptying your trash, delete temporary Internet files and other selected options. I recommend also you click Other Options, System Restore and delete all but the last system restore point. Run Disk Defragmenter

    Using the system restore option is most appropriate when your system is slow and you need to increase the free disk space on your C partition. If you have errors that could be solved by using the system restore to your system settings back to before that the error occurred initially, do not use this option.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked. Notwithstanding, there are some files that are hidden. Again, you will not see the System Volume Information folder.

  • How to change the MOB OpenManage integration for vCenter Server registration

    A few months back, I've updated our installation of the vCenter for v2 plugin, now called OpenManage integration for vCenter Server. When you perform the upgrade, we have kept the old base done vs a new installation. During the upgrade process, we deployed the new device under a new name of the computer.

    Everything works well except that we noticed an annoying thing. Registration of the plugin is the former name of the server instead of the name of the new server-oriented. It is validated by looking at the web page MOB: http://vcenter Server/fmt drilling then down through:

    Content--> Extension Manager--> extensionList ["com.dell.plugin.OpenManage_Integration_for_VMware_vCenter"] --> server--> URL string

    The configuration of the appliamnce shows the correct new name of the device and the administration console is accessible via the new name for the device. The only place where we see the old name of the device is in the MOB config.

    We tried to remove the plugin and added, but still cannot change the value of server URL to reflect the new name of the device. Until we solve this problem, I work around the problem by keeping just the DNS entry for the old name of the server in DNS.

    Anyone know who to change the property MOB for the URL of the server?

    I solved the problem.

    I found the following article that shows how to upgrade the extension. I just cut and paste into my current values with the URL of update and now all is good.

  • How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

    Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

    I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

  • Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

    Greetings to all seasons.

    Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

    I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

    Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

    I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

    I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

    Here are the virtual machines I have.

    Lab - DC1 (domain controller)

    Lab - DC2 (domain controller)

    Lab-SQL1 (SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition)

    Lab-SQL2 (SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise - subsequently configure failover clustering)

    Any help is appreciated!

  • P2V benefits and disadvantages for Vcenter server 4.1

    Hi people,
    We have a proposed plan for P2V to the Vcenter server 4.1.So before you go
    P2V for Vcenter server 4.1, I wanted to know if someone highlights what are the benefits and the & to P2V of Vcenter server.

    Thank you

    vmguy

    Hello

    If you have the DB on this same server where vCetner is not installed so no question at all

    BENEFITS:

    vCenter is protected by HA (at hardware level)

    much easier to do a maintenance (maintenance of software only)

    all the features of VMware are available (vMotion, sMotion, Snaphsots, Clone, FT, etc.)

    cheaper (except hardware, space, power in the server room)

    CONST:

    in case you lose all esx hosts you will lose too much VM vCenter

    If the virtual computer is down always know you where it is (as a machine virtual it isn't always a deal) :-)

    Suggested configuration

    Set the priority of restarting to high for vCenter VM

    exclude the VM of DRS vCenter (in case if vCenter came down you will know which server it worked before)

    Create a pool of resources high resources and put there vCenter VM

    About P2V I wouldn't do that. As said by JDLangdon - create new virtual machine, Move DB from the old to the new vCenter and installing vCenter on fresh OS.

  • How to increase disk space without guest operating system reinstallation

    Hello

    I take advantage of VMWARE with linux host and vista 64 comments, but I encountered a problem, running out of disk space.

    During the installation of VISTA, I chose 25 GB of disk space, as recommneded by IG of installation).

    Now I need more space.

    According to the virtual disk manager, I did

    VMware-vdiskmanager mydisk.vmdk 40 GB - x

    increase to 40 GB. It seemed to work, as I received a message,

    "Disk expansion completed successfully."

    Now "The VM setting" windows says HD 40 GB. But internally under VISTA, disk space is always 25 GB. In fact, the size of disk file (view on the side of linux) is only 22 GB. No idea how to increase disk space. He must start from the installation, but it's a little painful.

    Thank you.

    If the guest is Vista or Windows 2008, then you should be able to extend the partition while the system is running.

    Take a look at this article: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html

    Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 won't let you do that, while the disk is online.  Vista and Windows 2008 changed things.

    For versions of Windows Vista/2008, look for the Dell ExtPart.exe utility, as it will do the job for you.

    See you soon,.

  • Media Center is Reporting insufficient disk space for each record programmed

    Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Media Center reports that there is not enough disk space for each scheduled TV recording despite there are currently more than 1 TB of free space. The programs record very well, but it is impossible to tell when it is a genuine issue (for example, a program conflict) as an indicator of each scheduled recording is also problematic.

    There is a simple solution to this in Media Center as an administrator (which implies that there may be a problem of permissions with Windows 8). However, I also use an XBox 360 as an Extender and there is no known method to apply this workaround to an Extender then it continues to be a lack of disk space for each unique record.

    I tried completely removing the recorded TV folder, followed by a reboot to allow Media Center services recreate the folder, but it does not solve the problem. I checked all the settings and Media Center reports that it has enough free space to save more than 400 hours of television, but he's still complaining lack of disk space for each individual scheduled recording.

    Any ideas?

    I found a solution that worked for me on another thread.

    See the post from Steve Scoltock on executing a recovery job in the computer management application, here:
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-Winapps/Windows-8-TV-recording-problem-with-Windows-Media/f9695954-246F-4C59-8d1b-3729a81feee9?page=1&TM=1352456456164

    It worked for me.  I hope this guy helps too.

  • SQL Server edition full for vCenter Server 6.0

    Hello

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    We intend to use SQL Server 2008R2 as the database of vCenter Server 6.

    We would like to ask for your opinion if we should use the full 32-bit or 64-bit SQL Server Edition?  For SQL Server Express, 64 - Bit is used, I think that we need to use 64 bits one, is this correct?

    Your opinion is requested.

    Just learn that vCenter 6.0 does not support SQL Server Express.

    The Windows 6.0 vCenter dropped the integrated SQL Express, BUT instead, it comes with a SQL database vPostgres shipped to replace it with similar restrictions. You don't need to install your own SQL server if you're ok with these limits. See the following article:

    vSphere 6 - clarify misinformation. VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

    Databases are supported for installing windows SQL 2008 R2, 2012 and 2014, Oracle 11g and 12 c as well as the possibility of using an embedded database vPostgres on windows vPostgres is limited to 20 guests and 200 VMs. Upgrades where SQL express is installed will be converted to vPostgres. The vCenter Server Appliance supports the vPostgres shipped to full scale, the host of 1000 and 10,000 virtual computers and is the database recommended for vCenter server unit. Oracle 11g and c 12 external databases are also supported for this version, look for these to drop in the future releases.

    It is also possible to keep an existing SQL Express DB when you perform an upgrade:

  • Setting up Certification Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance 6

    Hi all

    Recently, I managed to migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6. 5.5, there was a large KB (2057223) on Configuring Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificates for vCenter Server Appliance. I tried to do as it says configure the certificate for v6.

    Unfortunately, I understand that some services such as lighttpd are changed in version.

    Can anyone provide a new instruction for the v6?

  • Requirements of ports for vCenter Server 5.1 - SysLog Collector

    Hi all

    Has anyone installed a SysLog collector?

    My book of vmware by Lowe mentions little on the ports for it.

    During the installation of the server, he gave me a list of ports.

    I accepted all the flaws, except that I changed the ports http to 81 and 8081 because IIS is installed (vmware docs say to use one port other than 80, if IIS is already installed)

    Now, during the installation of the SysLog collector it asks which http port I use.

    The vmware docs nothing mentioned on the syslog http port is my book. The vmware for TCP docs show that.

    ESXi Syslog Collector8001TCPESXivCenter Server

    Network syslog server

    Just use port 81 as the http port I have set up for vcenter server? The web interface won't connect through this port? There will be a conflict?

    I used netstat and port 82 is not used. Should I use?

    The other settings works ok?

    There is no firewall involved; vCenter server and the VMs system will reside on the same site

    Thanks in advance

    port 81, that is according to the third screenshot! 8081 is for Tomcat!
