• ESXi 5 - increase the disk space

  Hello

  
  Info:

  Size of the disk hard server: 4 TB

  What are the limits on the increase in size of virtual machine disk space Windows Server? For example, if C: win2k8 is 80 GB, can I increase to say a maximum of 4000 GB (eg. only 1 VM on the host)?

  I get a new server and I would like to give the VMs small readers and increase disk space needed in the future, if necessary. How will I know how much space the augmentable drive by?

  If I start with young readers, does this mean that I won't be able to increase the disk space, as well as virtual machines with more readers?

  Thank you

  Sorry, my bad. The size of the virtual disk does not depend on the HW version, it's just 5.5 ESXi and VMFS5.

  In any case, some words of clarification:

  • You can create virtual disks with up to 16 TB, in c# Client
  • Large virtual disks > 2 TB-512Bytes (with up to 62 to 64 to no) are not officially supported in c# Client, even if this can work for drives <=16TB (see=""> vSphere 5.5 storage improvements part 1: 62 TB VMDK)
  • Note: You cannot manage VMs with HW version 10 in the c# Client.

• Reference Dell poweredge r530 - increase the disk space

  Hello

  We currently have a Dell Server poweredge R530, with installed 5 hot swappable drives with RAID 5 configured. I need to increase disk space for our virtual machines, bought an x 2 extra 1.2 TB SAS drives to install. What is the correct process to add 2 new readers to the table and increase the space available in the 2012 R2 windows server? Could someone sanity check process below please:

  1. install the 2 new drives while the server is powered and operating normally. (What I have to install 1 player and wait a while, or two disks can be installed directly after the other?)

  2. go in dell iDRAC and confirm the visibility of 2 new readers.

  3. wait until the readers successfully have been added to the State through iDRAC Tracker

  4. go in the management of the storage within the 2012 R2 server to allocate new space for the virtual machine partitions.

  Is more correct? It feels like I'm missing an essential step, it cannot be that simple that it allocate the additional storage space on a live production server?

  Any advice appreciated

  Thank you

  1. the two drives can be added at the same time.

  2 iDRAC is not the best way to do it. Unless this is your only access to the server, use OMSA leave within the OS.

  3. the process is not automatic. Once readers show up in a State of PREPARATION, you will need to go to OMSA, PERC, storage, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 5. (In fact make the statement reconfigures / expansion was the 'crucial step' you left on your list of ;).))

  4. Yes.

• can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

  I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

  You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• How can I increase the disk space

  Hello world

  I am new member communities and virtualization technologies.

  In my office, there are 2 esxi servers and they are mirrored with veeam server. All servers to have converted from physical servers to virtual machines using vmware. We have a problem with the exchange servers that there is not enough disk space. Normally I have to turn off the exchange server and type the new value. I need suggestions on these steps.

  You can increase the size of the virtual disk with the virtual machine... Take a look at this blog post for instructions: http://blog.pluralsight.com/resize-vmware-windows-server-drives

• Increase the disk space

  My C drive has 5% free space. and my drive D "New Volume" 93% of free space. When I right click on drive C 'Player Extend' option is not usable. How can I increase the capacity of the C drive? I tried shrinking the D drive, thinking it would give me the ability that I could use to extend the C drive, but that did not work.

  To extend the Windows partition, free space must be nearby and located at the end of the partition, you need to develop, in this case your Windows partition. Disk management cannot shrnk forward of the partition (the partition next to your Windows partition), if you need a third party utility to boom the beginging of the partition in the Windows aprtition look, then you can extend the Windows partition.

• How to increase the RAM memory on a virtual computer.

  Hello!!!

  My 4.1 infrastructure

  vCenter Cluster with 4 ESXi host

  I installed a VM with OS Linux Centos 5.5

  VM has 2CPU, 2G_RAM, 7_GHD

  I want to increase the RAM up to 4 G.

  I have increase up to 4 GB with vSphere. But when I run MV, I run commands such as 'free' or 'top' and I discover who recognize only 3 GB

  But here:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1014006

  This behavior is expected and does affect adversely the operation of the guest. Physical address extension (PAE) will not allow the guest to recognize all 4 GB of memory.

  Does anyone know how to increase?

  Thank you very much.

  JOs.e

  As you may know, 32 bit OS' are limited less than 4 GB of RAM, unless the EAP is enabled, and it will impact your server when it starts to use on 3GBs of RAM.

  I suggest that using a 64 bit OS, this way you can throw all the RAM you want in it.

  Anyway check this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/redhat-enterprise-linux-4gb-plus-ram-support.html

  If you finish by activation of EAP, make sure you only take a snapshot of the VM as VM/backup.

• I want to view the properties of folders of files and the size of the files used on the right by clicking on them and the properties of the workstation to see the disk space used. __

  I have trouble finding the disk space used by files and folders individually and when I try to know how much is consumed and free by right click on my computer.  This was easy in XP, but I can't get the answers I need to analyze which uses space, where and how.  What is happening with this?

  Hi NativeLegal Eagle,

  Usually, right-click on the file or folder and clicking the properties option will give the details of the file or folder. The details include, type, size, location, size of the file on the disc etc.

  Make a right click on my computer will not give the details of available disk space on the computer.

  If you want to know the amount of space consumed by a program, then it can be found in the Add/Remove Programs window.
  a. Click Start, click Run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click ok.
  b. in the list, we can find the total space used by individual program running on the computer.

  Note: If nothing is listed in the file properties window or a file, then provide us with more information, so that we can better help you.

• Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space

  Windows Vista PC keeps filling the disk space, but programs like Treesize and Windows Explorer are not all of the additional files.

  The disc has about 45 GB of files, but the 220 GB drive is almost full. I suspect that a program will create orphaned files. CHKDSK is currently suspended from the second pass. Will try to run until the end of the day to the next.

  I turned on the hidden files and protected, it is not that I can't see the files. What can account for 150 + GB of invisible disk space?  Indexing of Windows seems to be active, although the C drive was marked to not be indexed.

  I know that a temporary internet file (content.ie5) is doubly hidden. Who had only 50 MB in it, so it's not the culprit. Any other hidden super-fichiers that everyone knows.

  Running Trend Micro PC-Cillin. The history of this creation of orphaned files?

  All the tools that look right at the MFT to see what is using the disk space and the avoidance of the directory tree?

  This isn't a matter of a few directories being wholesale, or clean old files. The space used is not anywhere to be found.

  Already run cleaning ccleaner and disk. Empty temporary files, Recycle Bin, etc. Only restore point. Registry clean with ccleaner.

  Never did anything on computer that could use 150 GB of space.

  If you look at just the computer, you can see disappearing disk space (maybe 1 GB an hour).

  Always seems to happen if you disconnect from the internet.

  Friend PC, so I did not have immediate access to it.

  Whence the free number 'space '? I'm just that an orphan file will not be displayed in a search in directories or with Treesize, but will use up to 'free space '?

  No sign of a virus.

  Hello

  Were there any changes made on the computer before the show?

  I suggest to refer to the article and try to defragment the hard disk:

  Improve performance by defragmenting your hard drive

  I understand that you have already scanned the hard drive with anti-virus software, although I suggest you try to run an online scan and check if it helps:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

• Need more disk space to run virtual machines on R710 server with no available drive slots

  Hello

  We have a server R710 with five $2.5 146 each and three 600 GB SCSI disks SCSI.  We have no more slots.

  We want another 2-4 TB of space.   This server is used to run virtual machines to test software applications.  We have need for decent speed, but more important still need a cost-effective solution for running virtual machines.

  The budget would be in the $1000 range give or take.  I might be able to get $3000, but a $10,000 would be too.  We could consider removing disks from 146 GB 5 and replacing them with those larger, but that might not be the first choice.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  What you ask for is really difficult to do within the budget without sacrificing important performance (from what you have right now in performance).

  Any external storage solution (Dell) is out of the question for $3 k (think MD1200/1220).

  The market, 2.5 "drives max out at 1 TB at 7200 RPM, 900 tr/10 k or 300 GB @ 15 k RPM.

  Dell has disks 1 to 7200 RPM 2.5 "company (for PowerEdges) for ~ $440 (see here). These are not the best choice if you want any kind of good performance.

  You might look into upgrading to 900GB 10 k rpm drives. These run $799 each today on the Dell website (see here).

  If you replace one of the 146 both each and let rebuild you could then use the extra space to another virtual disk. This would give about 2800GB.

  If you can't budget 5 of them, according to the current setup of raid, you can watch a backup and restore of the virtual disk of some 146.

  You could:

  -use 2 of the existing 146 in raid 1 for operating system and the extra space

  -use 3 x 900 in raid 5 (which would give a crude 1800 (Go so ~ 1674 usable))

  -Use the 3 600 existing RAID 5 (which would give ~ 1116 GB usable)

• How can I recover the disk space on esx

  yesterday, I removed two my esxi machine vm - I remove disk thinkng it could free up space disc instead of 'delete inventory '.

  my box of esx has about 334 GB in its datastore1

  I don't have a virtual machine in esx box and that vm's only 143 GB on its two disks, however my datastore1 only show it is has about 80 b of space left.

  1. I did something wrong is eliminating the VM boxes that do not free until their allotted disk space?

  2. How can I recover the disk space I know is free so that I can port on another machine on esx box?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello.

  Try to use the browser to store data on your data store 1 and see what files are actually there.  Sometimes things get left behind and need to be cleaned manually.

• WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?

  WHERE IS THE DISK SPACE?

  After the transfer of about a third of my HD 10 Gig by cut and paste, my new external HD 1 terabyte NO SPACE WAS not PERFORMED on my old C:\ drive. He showed only 120 MB of space available on C:\ and none of the file names are not anywhere. The new HD E:\external lists ALL files and showed that about 3-GB had been transferred. Why can't I just clean the old C:\ HD? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Starejad

  Apple suggested to replace the Internet Explorer browser with another and I had Firefox installed, available and repeated downloading and installing successfully. Automatic Updates/downloads have reduced my 10 GB of available disk space 500 MB. I replaced the original 10 GB HD with a new 80 GB drive and additional 128 MB of RAM. Which, as well as my external hard drive 1 TB should hold me until I can afford to replace this 10 year old system. Thank you all for your constructive comments!
