• It is possible to expand a vmfs partition?

  Well, here's my problem, I have 2 esx servers, connected to DS3400, people who originally this set up only bought 4 disks and created a raid 5 1.6 to VMFS partition. The guy he filled and I was running out of space.

  So I bought 2 more disks. I added the readers to the controller and added to the raid, creating a bigger raid.

  I returned in vsphere and saw that there was free space and I tried to extend VMFS partition but I couldn't? I thought that I was not supposed to create a new measure.

  In my frustration, I said F and I just created a second logical drive, formatted as VMFS and added and moved some of the VMm on the new 800 GB partition.

  Now, I bought 4 records more than daughter upward the ds3400. I'm trying to add them to the table.

  I need to make the a VM on the origial 1.6 TB of greater. So I don't want to add a third partition, instead of this I would really be able to extend the partition of 1.6 to 3.2 to with new readers, I add.

  Does anyone know how or if I can do this? Its going to take some time to add the new disks and I need the extra space pronto.

  When I'm in the IBM Storage Manager I see

  Unconfigured space 1.2 to (always adding these readers)

  RAID 5 2.8 TB

  -Original DS (1.6 TB)

  -1 (837 GB) second one I did

  -Release the 418GB capacity (one of the 3 new discs add)

  Once I get the other 3 dirves, I'll have another 1.6 to release capacity on the raid. This is where I'm stuck, how to use that to extend the original 1.6 to vmfs.

  Thank you people a bunch.

  It is possible to expand a VMFs partition - but the problem is that you can not access a logical unit number is greater than 2 TB - 512 B and the largest virtual disk is the same 2 TB - 512 according to http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_config_max.pdf - using extensions you can create a volume of 64 KB-16 TB per individual LUN stacking

• Possible to expand the spaces by changing the size of the page?

  Greetings.  I use Acrobat 10 pro now, but in 9, it was possible to expand the white space around the text by changing the size of the page under the command crop.  It was very convenient to create a large enough area for the comments text box.  I can't find this capability in 10.  I'm, hopefully, wrong?

• Help Setup RAID SATA for ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  It is the first time that you try to use vmware.  Any help is greatly appreciate!

  I just built a server around the Intel s5500hcvr mother. I have 6 SATA HDD I want to set up in a RAID. The integrated RAID controller seems to be very limited and does not seem to be supported by ESXi 4.1 (when I run ESXi 4.1 installation and it asks for a location for installation, all my discs are individually listed instead of virtual drives that I created with the RAID controller)

  My questions:

  (1) what is the suggested configuration of HDD (RAID levels / number of berries) for ESXi 4.1?  Can I create 1 RAID 10 array and set everything up to that?  or take one of my disks and install esxi 4.1 on it and then create a RAID with the rest of my discs and use it to store data?

  (2) anyone can provide links to some SATA RAID controllers that are known to work with ESXi 4.1 (and is the supposed to recognize virtual readers created by the RAID controller setup ESXi 4.1)

  Your motherboard has a RAID controller software which, as you have discovered, is completely not taken in charge by ESX/ESXi... You will need to get a RAID controller that is on the HCL for SAS and SATA hard drives (not one with battery backup write cache) so you can use any type of RAID configuration.

  My preference for Internal RAID configurations (on the host) are two drives mirrored for ESX/ESXi to reside (preferably being SAS 10 k or 15 k RPM, 73 GB or 146 GB in size) and then another table for the data store. You'll want to keep the data slot store table 2 TB-512 b size in order to present to ESX/ESXi as a LUN. Or you will need to get a RAID card this split of the support to the top of the table in the smaller of the virtual drives that can be presented for ESX/ESXi and LUNS.

  Search for controllers using the LSI MegaRAID chip as a good first lap. Some Adaptec cards should work, but I've seen people post questions on those recent (more recent than in the past). MANY manufacturers rebrand/efficiency the LSI MegaRAID Controllers server, such as the Dell PERC 6 series cards.

  For the use of 4 disks SATA, RAID 10 (on a BBWC, fully supported, controller) will give you the best performance. It will compare with SAS drives however. IF you do not plan on any virtual machine running with anything beyond light IOPS / s then you should be ok (or with very light loads)... If this is going to be a production server, then get the SAS drives all around.

• possible to divide a raid 5 in smaller LUNS

  I need to be able to create several stores data on the local of sata storage. Because you can only have 1 data store per lun, is it possible to make a large raid 5 (10 to for example) and it split into small various LUN sizes in the controller? This way I can create all data warehouses, I want to since they are all contained in own lun here.

  p.s., something which is not self sculpture. I need to make smaller LUN then 1 TB.

  But what this technology...

  Usually, there are two stages of configurations that you do on a RAID controller. The first is to 'create Arrays' and the second is to "Create logical drives"

  A see for example the MegaRaid user's Guide section "4.5 configuration RAID arrays and logical drives.

• Is it possible to expand the text and icons in Windows Explorer without changing its framework or my screen resolution?

  I started meeting with eyestrain from prolonged use of the computer.  Of course, I must simply reduce screen time, but may not reduce significantly again. During this time, I set it on a few minor visual adjustments that might be more favorable to the eye to me.  A change would be to increase the size of the text and folder icons in my field of Windows Explorer. I tried to achieve this expansion by increasing my overall screen resolution, but that change has become cumbersome and actually greater stress perspective.  Is it possible that I can change the size of text and icon from the Windows Explorer, without giving up its current location (details) and without affecting the size of anything else (for example, my office)?

  I know that my investigation is not in the urgent category, but I would be grateful for all the advice. (Well, almost everything...?)

  Thank you now also.

  No do not trust them - it's a widespread scam underway.  They want to ask you to install support software (usually decent software, like Team Viewer, that legitimate companies use to provide assistance), but then they use it to implant viruses. Or, more often, they open an arbitrary log file, claim this means that you have a virus, and they will help you conveniently 'fix' for a fair cost.

  No one will ever 'cold call' offer to help you with your PC.

• Is it possible to expand the graphics card in my Satellite L830-B355?

  I use 3ds max softwear my laptop (L830-B355). But I can't use certain features of 3ds max softwear. What is a graphics card problem?
  Now its only 1 GB graphic card.can I develop?

  What should I do to fix this... ?

  This software is not for me so I can not say much. GPU is not changeable, so you can't be updated.
  All you can do is use more RAM and more memory will be available for graphics operations.

  Have you ever talked with 3DS max support? What they have to say about this issue?
  I mean they know clean products and can offer a good assistance and advice for you.

• Driver RAID for Vmware ESXi 5.1 on Dell R420.

  My project is to install Vmware ESXi 5.1 on a Dell R420 with Raid1 configuration. The question I have after configuring raid1 in raid utility is created using the, I launch the installation of Vmware ESXi 5.1. What is ESXi 5.1 sees not the raid1 partition but rather see two disks as are they worn can't in raid1 configurations.

  I need to have this in raid1 config, can any who share an idea about my problem please or point me in the right direction.

  I did some research but nothing seems to help resolve this issue.

  Thank you

  Sheriff.

  Sorry for my previous response:

  DELL-Daniel My - when I boot in the BIOS of the controller, I see the raid in a raid1 configuration.

  Mgr dev you are right, I did research more when you all answered. I see the PERC S110 pilot was a software raid controller and thus the vmware esxi wouldn't work in a raid configuration 1 (software raid).

  Thank you guys for you answer and who helped me

• Size of the band to RAID servers with ESXi - RAID 10

  I know this has been asked several times, but I never saw no definitive answer to this question.

  In my raid controllers [8704EM2 LSI / LSI-8708EM2] I can set the size of the band to get the size of band chosen by multiplying this with the amount of discs.

  VMFS5 uses a block size of 1 MB, so with my configuration of 4 disks, I need the size of my band to 256 KB, for my 8 disks it is 128 KB.

  When I create a new virtual machine I would use the eager willingness to zero thickness to avoid fragmentation in the data store, I think that that would be the optimal situation with regard to the data store?

  [Linux] operating system in the virtual machine that would result in this theory?

  Advice or comments?

  I've never seen any definitive answer to this question.

  Probably because there is no definitive answer to this question.

  In my raid controllers [8704EM2 LSI / LSI-8708EM2]

  You can gain more performance when you switch your controller/sata 3 Gbit/s old sata/6gbit one.

  VMFS5 uses a block size of 1 MB

  True, but vmfs5 also uses the subblocks of 8 KB. In addition, very small files)<1kB) can="" be="" stored="" in="">

  I would use the eager willingness to zero thickness to avoid fragmentation within the data store

  Where do you have idea * that * avoids fragmentation?

  I think that this would be the optimal situation with regard to the data store?

  I don't think this is not optimal, and I'm not sure that there is generally best value. Affecting the band of equal size block size vmfs5 maybe not the best option, because it is small enough. In addition, there are other things you should consider, i.e.:

  -sector size of the hard disk (usually 512b or 4 KB)

  -ssd read/erase (highly specific to the provider) block size

  -Sectoral block size / filesystem VM (depending on the operating system)

  -In charge of VM file system (depends on what your VM)

  -the edge of your raid controller cache size

  -type of raid-array (0,1,10,5,6,...)

  -etc, etc.

  IMHO, if you don't have time to test, just stick with the default. With blind shooting you can just make things worse...

• Quick newb question: possible to 'navigate' the file on an ESXi host computer system remotely?

  As the subject says: is it possible to 'Browse' the file system to an ESXi host through a GUI tool on the server vCenter Server, instead of having to navigate this one via e.g. puTTY?

  JH

  OK... think about it. WinSCP and enabling SSH on the host computer ESxi is the key.

• Is it possible to run a remote host to ESXi vConverter?

  Hi all

  I was wondering if it was possible to run the vConverter to migrate a server to remote ESXi 4.1 host on a different network? I have a client who now runs a no virtual machine. I would like to run vConverter for my test box of ESXi, which is in a different physical location, in order to run a few tests and upgrades prior to the switch. The test box of ESXi has its own static IP address, so I don't see why it would be a problem but wanted to check and see if anyone had some words of wisdom.

  Thank you!

  Yes, read this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1010056

  Otherwise, why not convert the physical server to a hard drive laptop, and then import it to your host?

  If this post was useful/solved your problem, please mark the points of wire and price as seem you. Thank you!
