• 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!

• How to identify a virtual disk inside a windows 2008 VM

  I created a data store ISCSI 1.98 TB for one of my VM Windows 2008. I've added four virtual disks size still 300 GB to this Windows 2008 virtual machine and now I need to extend one of the specific disks. How to identify the interface of the VM virtual disk.

  In windows, I know what drive it is how can disc 8 but I know which drive is 8 on the change settings tab? I thought I knew what disk I was growing, and it wasn't the right one. Is there a tool on the market that do that?

  Thank you

  You will need to open the properties of the disk (left) rather than any partition on this disk.

• How to correlate the virtual disk on the disk of OS

  I need to remove one of the virtual virtual machine disks. The problem is that I have two identical drives, more they are on Rible virtual scsi adapters so if I look at the properties of disks in disk management, they are both targets ID 0. Is there another way to correlate the virtual disk belongs to disk inside the BONE?

  TIA

  Troy

  Since this is often not easy to understand, I usually create each disc with a slightly different size. That said, resize one of the disks (for example add 1 GB virtual disk) and you will be able to identify the disk that you want to remove.

• 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.

• Newbie question: how to extend in unallocated disk in a VM XP?

  Hi all:

  This is a newbie question, but looking for answers only left confused me...

  I have VM Fusion (v2.0.6) running on a MAC (OS X - Snow Leopard) with an XP VM. When the XP VM has been implemented, it has been implemented with 20 GB hard drive space. I used VM Ware Virtual Machine settings to increase the disk space of 50 GB. (I left the "pre-allocate disk space' and 'divide into 2 GB files' options unchecked.) I don't have any snapshots during execution/implementation.

  However, my current XP VM flashing me alerts "low disk space" - I see only about 1 GB of free 20 GB (I don't see the 40 GB listed in 'My Computer'). When I use the Services of management of disk in XP, I see a disk 0 20 GB System Partition with 30 GB of unallocated space.

  How can I extend the current Parition (System) in the space of 30 additional GB? And do I have I done this to begin with?

  Thanks in advance!

• How to shrink a virtual disk?

  I have a virtual server (Win2K8 R2) with a system of 40 GB and 100 GB data drive, but I want to shrink the drive to 50 GB of data.

  I started my virtual server using DVD boot GParted, shrunk the drive up to 50 GB and has confirmed that Windows is OK with the change, that it is, but console VMware shows always the data disk as configured = 100 GB.

  My question is, how do I change the value configured to 50 GB to match the size of the disk?

• How to shrink a virtual disk (vmdk file)

  I use VMware Workstation 12.1 Pro on Windows 7 x 64.

  I have a virtual drive of 140 GB that I converted to stretch of prealloue (with excellent yesterday using continuum here).

  First, in Windows Disk Manager, I lowered the score of 140 GB GB 70, leaving the end 70 GB unallocated (unused). So I thought it would be easy to reduce the 140 GB vmdk file to 70 GB.

  I ran the vmware - vdiskmanager.exe command line with the-k option on the file vmdk from the host with the virtual machine off. Then in the virtual machine powered on, the command prompt, I ran VMwareToolboxCmd.exe fret C:\.

  These two options gave me a disc that was essentially the same size than what I started with. Looks like there should be an easy way to drop that last unused 70 GB, but I can't. Which offer a suggestion?

  Thank you!

  Joe

  To effectively reduce a vmdk extensible, you must be able to write to these locations with the trash.
  You resized the partition - which means that the trash is outside the accessible area in writing.
  Options:
  create a partition at the end of the disc, wipe it by filling it with zeros, when the partition is completely filled with zeros - shrink again and remove the fake wall when done. I suggest this order:
  Start: preallocated 140 GB vmdk
  1 defragment the partition from inside the guest
  2. resize the partition to 70 GB
  3. turn off the virtual machine completely and simply cut the flat.vmdk to 71 GB with a dd command
  4. adjust the description of the measure in descriptorfile

  result: a vmdk préallouée 70 GB

• Cannot extend a virtual disk in vSphere

  I can't extend my hard drive of the virtual machines.  I'm running on ESXi 4.0.0 208167 with more than 1 TB of free space in the local storage. The virtual machine is currently set up with thick Provisioning, but I've tried too thin (using storage vMotion to change).  Currently 10 GB is allocated and the block size allows 256 GB of files as there are no snapshots.  No matter if the virtual machine is powered on or off, or the other.

  Any ideas would be appreciated.

  The VMX configuration file is attached.

  Welocme again.

  In the vmx file I saw that you are using an IDE ide0:0.fileName = ' 83-XPVM - 01.vmdk ' drive you can not resize the IDE drives in the dialog 'change settings '. You need to do this, use the converter. When you use the converter that you can - if you want - change type of for example the SCSI LSI controller.

• How can I stop virtual disk defragmentation?

  Hello

  A mission of Service / start defragmentation of the disk also vitual if VmWare is not running. How can I disable this?

  Can anyone help?

  I use Workstation 6.5.1 on a host of Vista PC.

  There is no VMware service that defragments disks in the background so it must be a Windows service. As far as I know, this service is called "superfetch" in Windows 7, maybe similar to Vista

• How to resize the size of the virtual disk for Linux guest OS

  Hello

  I installed VMWare WS 6.5 on my host OS (Vista) and have created a guest VM with RedHat like OS.  When creating, I've specified to create a virtual disk with a size of 8 GB, but have not selected the option of immediate creation - it being understood that VM is assigned additional as needed.  But now, on the comments and space use is 100%.  How can I allocate extra space for the virtual machine?  Also, is it possible to go beyond 8 GB, if so how.

  Enjoy your time, help.

  Concerning

  VMware-vdiskmanager allows to extend the virtual disk and use a third-party utility to extend the partition of guest operating system after having developed the virtual disk.

  Make a backup of your virtual machine before you do anything and you ensure that you don't have any snapshots

• Permissions to expand virtual disks?

  I tried to create a role that gives permissions to manage virtual machines and the possibility of extending a virtual disk. I don't seem to be able to do. I gave the following permission:

  data store: Browse, allocate space, operations of low level file, delete the file

  Host: System Management, reconfigures the virtual machine

  VM: all rights

  I got these file, cluster level and level of datastore folder-level rights.

  What Miss me?

  Thank you!

  Tom

  Hi Thomas,

  If the VM object and the object data store (located vmdk) have the permission your grant, who has the word. The following steps are how to optimize permission to expand virtual disks, please check to see what stage you missed.

  Environment:

  ' 1) ' clusters ' with 'vm1', the vmdk vm1 locates at "datastore1".

  ' (2) ' datastore1 ' is under folder data store "ds_folder1".

  1 change the role of 'virtual machine user (sample)' with the right permission

  Change the default role "user (sample) virtual machine", adds the "VM-> Configuration"(vous pouvez voir"Extend disque virtuel"est inclus et puis ajoutez le"Datastore-> Allocate espace".) ". These permissions and the default permission of the role of 'virtual machine user (sample)' can be the role with permission to drive virtual extend.

  2. choose the right object to add the authorization

  You should the 'cluster' and the datastore "ds_folder1" folder to add authorization: Add a user, and then choose her user (sample) 'virtual machine' in the role

  And then the VM1 to the title 'group' and the datastore1 under "ds_folder1" must have the permission. (You can check the label of Permissions)
