How to create a virtual disk thick

I'm trying to create a thick virtual disk without success. (Do not understand format.)

I'm using this syntax.

vmkfstools - ch. 2048 m /vmfs/volumes/myVMFS/rh6.2.vmdk

I get "error connecting to server https:/localhost/sdk/webservice" maybe etc...

I suspect that the problem is a lack of understanding of what "myVMFS" is-, but no less - the baffeled.

Any help very much appreciated. (New for this sort of thing.)

You'll want to add - server filename.vmdk

  • How to extend a virtual disk in a workflow

    Hello together,

    I have a problem in the creation of a Workflow.

    I want to deploy a virtual with a CustSpec computer (works fine). After the deploymente, I want to thank the disc - it's my problem.

    Did anyone of you knows how to expand a virtual disk to a virtual machine?

    Thank you very much

    Marc

    I have not tried this at my end, but you can try something like this:

    You need create a scriptable task and the research of the class script VirtualLsiLogicController from the API Explorer. The properties that need are required to set as seen in the reference of vSphere are:

    -busnumber (can be set to 0)

    -button (can be set to 0)

    -sharedBus (set VirtualSCSISharing.physicalSharing) / / VirtualSCSISharing is an enum type, consult the API Explorer

    After you set the object above (VirtualLsiLogicController), it defined in the the virtualdeviceconfigspec object and the value of this deviceconfigspec to the devicechange of the virtualmachine context property (as previously done for adding a virtual disk).

    I hope that helps!

    When the script runs I get error: unable to create the virtual disk: fault. RestrictedVersion.summary

    Can someone tell me why please.  Im trying to create a disk of 20 GB with adapter free with eagerzeroedthick on my internal called storage, (no subdirectory).

    The file system is THAT VMFS 3.33 maximum file size is 256 GB.  The block size is 1 MB.  If it is the block size that is the problem how can I easily change?

    It's in a laboratory, not a production environment.  I need the flag eagerzeroedthick like Im trying to create a passive active cluster node MSCS 2 on a single physical node with 2 machines VMS.

    Thank you.

  • How to create the virtual machine to a virtual machine existed file?

    I have two hard drives on my VMware host. There are virtual machines on a SATA drive, how do I list these files of virtual machines and copy one of them to create a new virtual machine (it can save a lot of my time!). I did this way on VMware server 2.0 because I can see what they were and where they were under Windows. But on vSphere, how can I do? Maybe you guys have other ways to do it?

    Thank you!

    George

    On vSphere, I suggest you use autonomous vConventer instead. It is quite simple and easy to use. Alternatively, you can copy or clone the virtual disk to the virtual machine via the Console (ESX) Service offline

  • Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
    I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
    The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

    I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
    There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

    Any help appreciated,
    Thank you

    You have preinstalled software Toshiba TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator?

    Please check this box.
    Using the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator you can create the recovery disk.

    But if your laptop was already pre-installed with Windows XP and then a Recovery CD or DVD must be included.

  • How to create a repair disk in Windows XP

    Hello

    How to create a Windows XP REPAIR disc?

    I have Windows XP version 5.1, Build 2600.

    Thank you very much

    Michael

    What do you think needs repair?

    You were not able to find something suitable in the tutorials section?

    You can make a CD of XP bootable following Recovery Console:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    I've just updated wo Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Because Palm does not support USB synchronization under a 64-bit system, it tells me that I need to create a virtual com port for my bluetooth device to synchronize.  I can't understand how to create this port under Windows 7.
