• Increase the size of virtual hard disk to a virtual computer with snapshots

  Is it possible to increase the size of a virtual hard disk on a virtual machine that has snapshots on this subject?  I can use VMware converter to increase the size of the disk, but who commits snapshots during the conversion-

  Thank you

  As everybody said that it is not a good idea to increase the space for a VM with a snapshot.   The snapshot files are all related originally vmdk and when you change this vmdk he breaks the link.

  A particular reason that you cannot commit the snapshot before adding the space.

• I have a clone of the hard disk that my images are on for the trip.  How to run LR using that drive rather than what he became in general?

  I cloned the drive that my images are on a hard disk that is tougher to travel.  Think of this as an extra back upward.  How to run LR using that drive rather than what he became in general?  My plan is to return to the top/clone the drive trip to the typical reader when I go home.  The catalogue is available on a MacBook Air I'll use at any time.  It is not just enough space on the hard drive of MB Air for images.  I thought of naming the road trip with the same name as the player who is at home, and know that LR, but I think I'll get confused by doing this. The info on the two drives is the same at this point.

  Hello Ann,.

  Welcome to Forums Community Microsoft and we are happy to know that you have chosen Windows 8.

  According to the description of your question, the texts on the screenshot of the images in the output file of the problem step recorder (PSR) utility appears to be faded and are not very clear on the computer screen and as well as when they are printed.

  This happens because the screenshot images are small in size when they are incorporated into the PSR output file. However, these screenshot images become larger size, when you click on it and you'll be able to read all the texts in the screenshot image. You can click on images to its original size. When all images find its original size, try printing it and check if you are able to get a clear printed to have images of screenshot with a readable text.

  Note: once you close the output file and re - open again, the screenshot images are once converted to get its original size and smaller images, you may need to click the pictures again.

  Hope this information is useful. In the future, if you have any questions or problems related to Windows, you can feel free to post on the Community Forums of Microsoft and we will be happy to help you.

• Size of physical hard disk in x100e

  It's a 2.5 "(hauteur 9,5 mm max)."

• 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.

• Qosmio X 500/00 X System Recovery (Factory Reset) of hard disk or separate disc

  Hey guys,.

  Looking for your advice and all the links if it is... Congratulations in advance
  
  My Situation

  In December 2009, I bought a Toshiba Qosmio X 500 - model No. PQX33A-00X00J

  At the time, I improved my purchase at Toshiba dealer BD4U, ranging from the standard 1 x 500 GB Sata + 1 x 64 GB SSD... to be rather 2 x 500 GB sata drives. I bought with 3 year next business day warranty onsite, which is is now expired.

  It came loaded with MS Win 7 Premium Home Edition - but not the provided disks.

  My needs
  

  1. I need/want to reset my PC - its starts to run slowly
  2. I need re-partition of my existing 4 x partitions to just have 2

  Questions
  

  1. Perhaps as a result of the upgrade hard drives at the time of the purchase, I don't think I have a hidden partition restore to recover a system from hard disk - see attached image of my current partitions
  2. I have Win 7 OS installation discs or Toshiba Driver like they must have been installed by Toshiba

  My Questions
  

  1. Do you think that I don't have a recovery Partition - looking at the picture of the partition? I'm confused on this point coz say hidden sound!
  2. Given I have no disc Toshiba disk drivers or the operating system Windows 7 - what should I do? I think to download Win 7 (use my sticker under PC product key) and to make a disc/USB (but you have to learn how)
  3. This is where I get all of THE necessary Toshiba drivers for my PC from?
  4. Toshiba provides a link on its site and instructions on where to find Win 7 so that I can make a recovery disk?

  Notes
  Tried to send a Toshiba, but in step 1 of their process e-mail validation failed because my PC is out of warranty so will call Monday for the

  Thank YOU for any help you can give a big small ro

  See you soon

  Hello

  When you buy the new laptop with preinstalled OS (factory settings) original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. On some older models, it was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive and it was visible in Windows Explorer. Toshiba later saved this recovery image on another hidden partition. This partition was not visible in Windows Explorer, but it is visible in disk management and unregistered.

  With the factory settings, each owner of the laptop is able to create recovery media (DVD) and use it later if HARD recovery disk image installation is not possible. In the user s manuals document described how all this works. Please note: the product key from the sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation when you install the version of the OS by using Microsoft disk.

  I can see this recovery partition is not available on your Qosmio laptop and recovery image installation is not possible.
  Now, you have two options:

  Recovery image installation 1 / original
  2 / Windows installation by using the Microsoft installation disc

  If you use option 1 you should try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask if you can order the original installation disc of recovery. Of course, it is easier to have factory again.

  Option 2 is more complicated. You must install the version of the OS and also install all the necessary drivers, tolls and the utilities manually one by one. Download page for each of them you can find on Toshiba (link is the right one).
  It is not so complicated and you can do it alone and we can help you. As I already wrote for the activation of the operating system you need valid product key.

  If you have further questions do not hesitate to ask.

• How can I increase the size of my disk 'C' for one of my other drives on the same hard drive

  Thanks David

  You can't do this with the tools built into Windows XP, but you can use third-party disk partitioning tools. Although these tools are generally safe, it is always a good idea to make backups before using an any of them.

  Here are a few options in alphabetical order:

• Is there a way to increase the size of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

  HelloW to all.

  I created VM with the size of the hard drive of 80 GB and now I want to increase the size of the 80 GB to 150 GB drive does not add whit extra 70 GB partition but to increase the patitionn of 80 GB.

  Is there a way to increase the size of 150 GB of the virtual hard disk? in the VM? ESXI 4.1

  Thanks in advance.

  If the guest operating system is windows, then follow below process-

  Scenario-1 his drive is not the boot partition.

  1. click on the settings of the virtual machine

  2. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

  3. go to disk to the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

  4. open the cmd/command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

  5 then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

  6. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

  7. exit diskpart.

  Scenario-2 If the drive is the boot partition.

  1. power of the virtual machine. (go on change settings of ==> click on the drive you want to extend ==> copy the path of the disc)

  2. go to any other test VM and add disk--> disk existing use ==> give the drive path that you want to extend ==> Assistant to finish.

  3. Select the hard drive to increase and give the size you want (don't forget that you should have a free space available on the data store).

  4. select disk of the virtual machine management, and then rescan disk (you will see the unused space)

  5. open / cmd command prompt, then run diskpart by using the diskpart command

  6. then... the drive... After this list give the command "select disk 1" (1 is the disk you want to expand)

  7. After selecting the disk, type extend (extend order will extend the drive)

  8 exit diskpart.

  9. go to change the setting of this test VM and select the hard drive... ==> click on remove virtual machine. (do not drive delete)

• How to increase the maximum size of the disk commissioning

  Hello

  I wanted to increase the size of the hard drive of one of our virtual machine but the maximum is 256 GB and I can't go any further. Is there a way to increase the maximum, so I can develop?

  We use ESXi 5.5 on a single physical server and use vSphare to manage. There are 300 GB of free space in the data store.

  can you please help

  

  Thank you

  Alexander

  Hi Caroline and welcome on VMware communities!

  It seems that your data store is in the old format VMFS3.  To create virtual disks greater than 256 GB in size, you will need to follow the instructions in upgrading warehouses VMFS3 to VMFS5.  (Further reading: VMware KB: block the size of a VMFS data store limitations.)

  See you soon,.

• The virtual hard disk size

  For worker Analyzer IO VM, it is recommended to create a larger second virtual hard disk that serves as a target IOmeter.

  
  

  Is the size of the virtual hard drive exactly the same workload working set size, which means that all data in the virtual disk is read from or written to storage during the race?

  Do you have other recommendations to decide what size the second virtual hard disk should be a VM worker?

  Thank you

  Rebecca

  Hi RS_1, it's useful, but I was looking for some additional tips for the user guide.

  I received responses from some of the developers of IO parser and also ran a few tests of my own.

  Iometer generates its I/O based on the number of blocks of target disc (i.e. the manually added virtual hard disk on the worker VM).  The size of the disk hard virtual will be be equivalent to e/s working set size.

  For a virtual hard drive that strikes only cache, a rule would be its size to 100 MB.

  For a virtual hard drive that hits the disk, the virtual hard disk could be sized anywhere from 10 GB to the top. The drive, / o most actually hits disc rather than cache.

  To do this, I created a 200 GB thin provisioned virtual hard disk for my e/s VM Analyzer worker. As I ran the Iometer workload, I could see the thin disc quickly increase from almost nothing to its size fully provisioned. This means that the new virtual hard disk sectors were continually being read and written by Iometer. Interestingly, it only took about 5 minutes to flesh out a whole 200 GB drive. Obviously, this speed would depend on the type of I/O profile used.

  I also tested a 20 GB disk Iometer vs virtual a virtual drive of 200 GB. Average latency, IOPS / s and flow were all better for 20 GB disk - because a greater proportion of e/s in this case was hit the cache, tilt the numbers positively.

  So, even at the drive hard virtual, sizes last 10 GB, size of the VHD will affect yet observed performance to Iometer.

• 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.

  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.
