• 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.

• 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.

  Thank you

  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 on a virtual computer which was extracted

  I have my computer running virtual Windows 7 checked. I then checked back in the VM. I need to increase disk space on drive C (the winSxS directory seems to never stop growing). But there is a snapshot on the disc 'View Local Mode of instantaneous anchorage'. What are the consequences of the removal of the snapshot myself in order to increase the size of the disk? Throw this out of sync between my laptop and the virtual computer and require all of ~ 30 GB to download again?

  Hello
  If a replication extracted from a desktop computer, a snapshot of the local desktop is created and then the changes are replicated with the data center.
  If you delete the snapshot, you ensure that you validate the changes.  This force probably allows you to download all of the Office during the next Check-Out operation.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 to increase the disk storage

  Overnite, everyday, my computer perd.1.5 GB of space. How can I determine what is the cause and stop it? And want to free up space. I already moved most of the files on an external drive.

  Could be restore points.  By default, System Restore will continue to create restore points up is filled with about 12% of your player.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html

  Could be another scheduled backup task.

  Download and run JDiskReport.  That should tell you which files take up space.  Or if you want to try the brute force search for all files created by date ("more advanced options" in Windows search).

• Increase the disk volume

  Hello
  
  In our production environment, it is very less space in the essbase installation disc. The remaining space could last only a month or two. How this player can be extended without impact on all data that reside in it?

• Cannot increase the size of the virtual disk

  I do this kind of maintenance all the time. Usually on Windows 2008 R2 servers where I can just go to the VM > settings > hard and develop it for my pleasure, and then add the space from the host 'to hot' without having to reload or use third-party tools 'boot' to develop (IE. GParted).

  We run vSphere 5.0. The virtual machine for this case is a Win2k8 R2 64 bit on a host 4.1. Our warehouses are NFS volumes on NetApp storage infrastructure. It is now the question:

  On the same data store, same OS (2 k 8 R2) I can change the settings on virtual machines to increase the disk space and the others, I can't. It is:

  • same data store (NFS - Yes, there is enough space to grow)
  • different hosts
  • same operating system
  • all of them are defined for Thin Provisioning
  • VMware tools are running and up to date

  For some reason some VMS allow me to develop their hard drive (size available xxx.xxGB) and others do not grow (available s/o): click the arrows to increase the hard drive is greyed out.

  Ideas?

  Thank you!

  Alex

  You can not. Unfortunately, it is not possible to resize a virtual disk with snapshots.

• Increase the size of disk problems

  I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to 5 in preparation for the upgrade of Windows 7 to 8.  When I initially installed my VM several months ago, I waited to invite me on the amount of disk space, I wanted to allocate, but he never did the installation.  He created the virtual machine of 20 GB (boring), which would work if Windows ever wanted to do an update and that you ever wanted to save a file to the virtual computer.

  I used the Fusion to increase the size of the disc to 122 GB (I have over 600 GB available on my Mac) and it is distributed correctly and when I open windows the space was available on drive C.  However, when I discovered the virtual machine to the Virtual Machine in Fusion library it reads 20 GB.

  After more than an hour of reading of the VMWare knowledge base, I found an article that said that I had to increase the disk using Mac disk utility; However, this option is disabled/grayed out for me.  Another article proposed a ton of utility downloads to do this and overall I am lost.  It would be completely avoidable BS if the installation would have helped clarify the size of my disk on the installtion of the virtual machine.  Alas, it's wasn't the case.

  My question is does my windows hard disk shows 122 GB total space, but the library of virtual machines VMWare shows correct 20 GB and what can I expect if I start tyring upgrade to Windows 8 in terms of space?  Is there allocated 20 or 122 GB?

  Thank you.

  I just upgraded from Fusion 4 to 5 in preparation for the upgrade of Windows 7 to 8.  When I initially installed my VM several months ago, I waited to invite me on the amount of disk space, I wanted to allocate, but he never did the installation.  He created the virtual machine of 20 GB (boring), which would work if Windows ever wanted to do an update and that you ever wanted to save a file to the virtual computer.

  IIRC A Windows 7 Virtual PC to a 40 GB in VMware Fusion 4.x by default however any default size one can always modify virtual hardware parameters before installing an operating system.  Anyway to increase the size of the virtual hard disk is a process in two stages, the first of which is made in the settings of the Virtual Machine's hard drive.  The second part is made with a 3rd party utility or the OS itself, when it is necessary and it is applicable in the case of Windows 7.

  In Windows 7, just go to disk management and extend the Volume, he tries but a few seconds.

  Note: Before performing any disk level operations such as this should ensure that you have a clean backup * of the entire Virtual Machine.

  =========

  * It is a known fact that Time Machine is not 100% reliable backing up/restoring VMS in all circumstances/conditions.  Also back up Virtual Machines via Time Machine of disk/time intensive and wastes a lot of space for something that may be corrupted and worthless time to restore it.  At least I would exclude the Virtual Machines with virtual machines and Time Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed and then manually copy the VMS to another location, preferably on a different physical hard drive.  So keep the user data stored in the virtual machine saved out of the Virtual Machine on a regular basis in order to always have a backup of the current user data.  If you need to restore a properly saved by VM is not as common at least you will have a virtual working Machine and data user to go forward with when you find out your Time Machine backup of the virtual machine fails.

• Increase the persistent disk space

  Is it possible to increase the disk space to Link Clone dedicated without blow away the view desktop?  I've increased disk space persisted in the Admin of the view and all new desktop computers have increased space.

  I don't want to remove all workstations for the increase.

  Thank you.

  If they are updating on a redial you could always develop in the same way make you record of vSphere.  Simply increasing the disk through vCenter, then use diskpart or else to decompress.

  GFS,

  You need not worry. It is supposed to be like this.

  It's only the purpose to hold a full recovery for your operating system Partition.

  Do not restore points save, or anything in that partition.
