Instant space requirements

Hello

I have a few questions on space for a virtual machine snapshots including an 80G hard for hard Windows OS and 500G for data. We use the VSphere 4.1 and VSphere 5.

1. how much space is required for the instant 80 G or 580 G?

2. If the .vmdks are on different LUNS will be snapshots stored with the virtual machine configuration file?

Thanks for helping clear this up.

Robert

As mentioned previously, a snapshot can grow up to the size of certain overhead costs as well as the basic disk. Regarding overhead, take a look at table "Load calculation required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384

  • I can't install iTunes 10.7 to Windows 7, 64-bit, install stops at the space required with miscalculation: restoration of action

    Original title: I can't install iTunes 10.7 to Windows 7, 64-bit

    I tried to install iTunes 10.7 on my computer, but it stops when the installation says: calculation of space requirements. Then he said only: "roll back the action", "installation failed." I don't know what is happening because I have more than 40 GB of free space on my hard drive. I also tried with an older version of iTunes, but it keeps doing the same thing.

    You can not install itunes while another update that uses the microsoft windows (MSI) Setup program is running.

    what you need to do is:
    update of windows OS and restart.
    install itunes to a partition with at least 250 MB of free space.

    If I remember correctly, a starter 11.2 DB (with no data of the application) will be approximately 5 GB in size. We want to know what size will have a 12.1 DB starter.

    That is to say. I just want to know how much space is needed for a DB database container and a Pluggable-DB with options (like XMLDB,... etc.).

    Just so you guys know that the DB + DB container connectable to a bare minimum size is 5.2 GB

    That is to say. not without any data of the company

    That's what looked like the file system, just after the creation of the DB

  • Attempt to determine the space required for the migration of the opening...

    Hello:

    I'll put together a plan to migrate from Aperture to Lightroom.  My research is coming short on a particular issue... If I use Adobe plug-in to convert, if it changes the file system existing opening, thus converting the Lightroom folder structure?  Or, is, in essence, "duplicate" files by creating a new set for Lightroom and leaving the intact existing opening?

    If it gives all existing files, I'm fine.  If it is redundant with, I have to approach differently - since my opening set is about 400 GB, and I have about 100GB left on my drive.

    I've almost worn out G for Google tries to find an answer.  Your help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    PS I posted this on the General discussion of Lightroom, but I have received no feedback.

    The migration tool calculates the space required before continuing. It really depends on if your Aperture library is managed or referenced. In the case of a managed library, your images will be get duplicated in order to protect the opening of corruption. See this link for more information:

  • Instant space?

    Hi all!

    I installed vsphere and come across something that is relative. In the views 'storage' of my group, I have 0.00 B of instant space... What I didn't have space to manage the snapshots showing or is it telling me that I don't use a space for snapshots? To me, it appears that this means how much space is available for snapshots...

    If this is the case and I have no space available for snapshots, can someone give me a good idea of how much instant space, we should have available? I'm looking for basic rules general here as 20% of your space or something like that... We did not use snapshots yet because it is a test environment, but I want to assure you get the right setup for the real deal.

    Thanks for any help / advice anyone can give me on this...

    Thank you!

    Ed

    I think it is the amount of space consumed by snapshots on this volume, there is no need to explicitly reserve space for the snapshots, it uses the amount of space available on the volume.

    If you run out of space on the volume and a snapshot must grow... well Bad Things (TM) may occur.

  • Calculate the disk space required for the INDEX

    Hello

    How to calculate the disk space required to create an INDEX? Please tell me where I can get the details of resources.

    For example:
    I need to create a non-UNIQUE INDEX on the columns, an approximate size would do.

    < PRE >
    NOT NULL DATE EVENT_DATE
    APPT_DATE_SLOT VARCHAR2 (15)
    EVENT_STATUS VARCHAR2 (4)
    < / PRE >

    The table has some 7 300 000 rows. I would like to know how to calculate too.

    All AIDS are very much appreciated.

    A rough estimate of the index space will need is possible by

    adding the actual length expected from each column, plus 6 for the rowid, 2 for the number of the X-header of the rows in the table that will be so an entry

    Date are 7 bytes internal + 15 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 34 X 7.3 M = 248200000 X General fresh for the block header, initrans, etc...

    We will use 20% overhead block or 1.2 X 248200000 = 297840000, which is about 285 M

    The actual distribution will vary according to your method of range tablespace.

  • space required?

    How much space Foxfire requires for downloading? How to operate optimally?

    For the storage of these figures are somewhat obsolete. The binary is about 35 MB uncompressed after installation, it's about 60 MB and depending on the amount of storage available on the device it will use 2 to ~ 60 MB for implementing caching of downloaded files.

  • 16 GB of free disk space required to upgrade?

    I have a 80 GB drive partitioned and C: has 3 GB of spare, I would like to upgrade to windows 7, but it says I need 16 GB of free disk, Vista is already using 22 gb - if I upgrade to I win 6 GB or is windows really 38 GB because none of my partitions are that big. (E: a 22 GB of spare I put windows on both Partitions?).

    I tried to resize the two partitions by using disk management C: offers the possibility of reduction of the score but the expand option is grayed out.

    Windows 7 32-bit requires 16 GB of free disk space
    Windows 7 64-bit requires 20 GB of free space on the disk

    In fact, Windows 7 does not use that amount of space, but for the actual installation, Windows 7 will store some files temporarily to help with the installation. Disk space actually used by Windows varies from 6 to 10 GB, depending on the edition you are installing.

    You can try to free disk space by running disk clean up and remove old system restore points. You can also try clearing your temporary files directory:

    Click Start, type: folder
    Press ENTER, delete the contents of this folder.

    You should try to uninstall applications you do not use and move files you use for example videos, photos on an external hard drive, you could do temporarily, then restore them after the installation of Windows 7.

  • Space required on the server vCenter for statistical level increased

    I'm in vCenter Server and this is the SQL database on separate virtual machines.  I have size my SQL database for level 2 of the statistics.  What is the size of the disk hard virtual on my server vCenter Server must support statistics level 2 to 3000 VMs and 150 physical servers?  I know that the main impact of the size of the disk is SQL Server according to the requirements not vCenter to because the VCDB database is stored on my SQL Server in this case.  However, if a major impact is to increase your level of 1 to 2 on virtual disks of vCenter Server statistics? (I have already addressed vCPU and needs of vRAM and prepared for this, I just need to look at the disk space now)

    Thank you!

    You're right, the size of the database will be the primary component that is affected when you increase the level of statistics. I don't see any impact on the vCenter Server disks.

  • Instant space question - images

    Hi people,

    This is my first post here, because we are quite new to this and I want that what may be an obvious question.

    I tried searching but as you'll see in the issue specifics mean no search results does not give the information I'm looking for.

    Basically - I am deleting snapshots and the snapshot copy in the parent image before deleting the snapshot itself.

    So the amount of used space increases actually before that this tax is reduced.

    So you need to more than enough space to delete snapshots.

    My question is:

    Based on the attached picture, space must be in the "storage used" Vs "storage provisioned" in the summary view.

    Or is it the 'ability' Vs 'Space used' in the views of storage?

    I saw my storage used to achieve the same capacity as the storage provisioned last time I deleted a snapshot and I panicked that I was running out of space!

    I would be grateful to anyone who can me explain this in simple terms please.

    Thank you!!

    Instant virtual computer just use any free space to store data.   This free space is the difference between the capacity column and space used.

    Implemented storage is the amount that could use the virtual machine, and this double amount whenever you take a snapshot in order to allow a rate of 100% full of change in this snapshot.

    Above all, you won't have to hit major problems (as VM stop) unless your space used = data store capacity.

  • Space required to apply a snapshot?

    We have a server that is thin-provisioned and performed 32 GB when we created a snapshot to upgrade everything went very well so now want to do perms of changes by deleting the snapshot, however capture files instant two are big 18.67 GB and I only 13.7 GB free, I should get 4 GB when I stopped the virtual machine as used by the swap file give me about 17.7 Gb space is sufficient to remove the snapshot?

  • Use of instant space for disc RDM

    Dear all,

    ESX Server can support data store VMDK, physical RDM & RDM compatibility.

    Is the comparability of disk speed, physical RDM > RDM compatibility > VMDK Data Store?

    RDM compatibility seems can take advantage of instant virtualization.

    How the use of snap RDM compatibility spaces?

    Thanks for any input.

    Dennis Dai

    Take a look on: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vmfs_rdm_perf.pdf

    Physical RDM are a little faster, but you can not the snapshot on this subject.

    Virtual RDM can create snap by creating a delta file in the folder of the virtual machine, if you need space in this point to have the instant copy growing up.

    How long lasts this string? ++

    So, in other words - it depends. Development environment might include a database logic dev (containing data from prod), one database Q & A logic (to test changes in dev) and a complete copy of the prod database logic (to test the final deployment).

    It could contain an R & D environment - where all data from prod is necessary for data mining research and then to deploy processes of extraction of useful data in the production.

    It could be used in a number of ways - and some of them will be more intensive in the transformation and requiring more data, than the production.

    Ideally - dev environment should look like as close as possible to the prod environment. Ideally, that means a server hardware and similar size, same o/s and Oracle versions and same volumes of data.

  • Space required by float

    Hi guys,.

    Just as char (n) can store maximum n bytes of storage, number (p) can maximum ((p+1) / 2) + 1 bytes of storage, then the amount of maximum storage space taken by float and float (n)...

    Please suggest...

    Thank you

    Hello

    The FLOAT data type is a subtype of NUMBER. It can be specified with or without precision, which has the same definition for NUMBER and can vary from 1 to 126. Scale cannot be specified, but it is interpreted from the data. Each FLOAT value requires 1 to 22 bytes.

    Oracle database provides two types of digital data only for numbers to floating-point:

    BINARY_FLOAT types is a 32-bit, single-precision floating point number data type. Each value of type BINARY_FLOAT requires 4 bytes.

    BINARY_DOUBLE is 64-bit double-precision floating-point number data type; Each BINARY_DOUBLE value requires 8 bytes.

    Take a look at these urls for more details.
