• Uneven placement of images with SSD storage

  All,

  I'm running through a PoC project with a client using view 5.1 according to the instructions in "reference Architecture for VMware for desktops virtual stateless on Local Storage SSD with VMware View 5" as close as possible.

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/TechResources/10278

  I have all eight nodes identically configured with SSD storage room - once again all the model the same readers, all empty.

  Creating a pool of clones associated with this group creates a very uneven placement of the images.

  For example if I create a pool of 80 virtual machines on drives 8 distribution will be something like...

  Disc 1-30

  Disc 2-5

  Disc 3-0

  Disc 4-25

  Disc 6-10

  Disc 7-10

  Disc 8-0

  If I remove then 30 V in the pool, he can remove all 30 disc 1. At the time where every action on the pool must be controlled manually.

  Has anyone else hit this behavior.

  Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that's the way it is designed.

  When you dial a number of offices the decision of balancing is put there, so all desktop computers will be will be on the data store / host (s) which has the less perceived load.

  Because you use local storage there is no opportunity to rebalance desktop computers.

• MacBook Pro 128 GB SSD storage

  What can I expect from the 128 GB ssd storage in terms of size of the OS and Microsoft office installed as well as software, very simple that I need for my daily use. will it be enough, or should I go for the 256 GB. On the other hand is the pro storage (model 2015) macbook upgrade possible (future upgrade of storage higher)?

  If you store large amounts of data, it is preferable to use an SSD with a different drive.

  the SSD should contain your OS applications and kernel, but if you are working with smaller text documents, spreadsheets and PowerPoints on the SSD storage do not have a lot to worry about and you can use data optimally with the speed that the SSD offers on HARD drive.

  If you work with raw files of creative cloud, hi-res photography, video, Audio recording, a lot of family photos or a great iTunes collection consider a second disc more to keep these files on your SSD.

  You can install an SSD that fits, but more large size disks are replacements for what you put there so you cannot pass a 128 'largest capacity SSD' than it is currently, you must purchase a 256 or 512 or 1 to and remove your 128 system.

• HP ProLiant BL680cG7 and the local host on SSD Cache

  Hello community,

  At the beginning of the installation of an HP BL680cG7 blade, the ESXi 5 installation program shows me the local SSD drives configured as "remote storage".

  Very interesting

  Here is an Article on this subject:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027819

  Or:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1687257

  But now my problem:

  After installation complete, I can´t enable "Cache host", because the configured local SSD are presented as "Non - SSDS' readers? !

  Anyone has an idea why I can't use the local SSD for the host Cache?

  HP SAS - SSD is not compatible?

  SSDS are pluggable drives to HP, 200 GB default host.

  Thank you, Jo!

  If it is possible to check below links and if necessary you can run the required commands of "Tag as SSD devices"

• How can I upgrade (where to buy) the SSD storage for my macbook pro retina 15 "?

  I currently have 256GB on my mac, which is far from enough. as far as I know, the macbook pro get a SSD sata-m and I would buy more. I can buy it on the Apple site?

  Apple does not sell any upgrade to the MacBook Pro retina. If you want to upgrade the internal memory, the connector is not standard m-SATA so your options are limited. One of the few places improvements are available is MacSales.com, who is a seller very good reputation (I bought many improvements to them):

  OWC SSD Flash storage upgrades - MacBook Pro with the retina 13 "& 15" 2012 - beginning 2013

  On this page, you'll see also that they sell a pen, so that you can use the drive out you of your Mac as an external drive.

• HPE-400f: my newly installed SSD storage does not add to the top.

  It shows 176 GB free of 232 GB which is 56 GB used. When I open the player and select the file and click with the right button on properties, it appears than 43.8 GB. Where do I use the extra 12 GB for? I have hidden files and folders showing. Also, I deleted the HP RECOVERY partition and he merged the ssd partition. Somehow the score again would be on the SSD? I used the Recovery Manager to delete the partition.

  Hi there @Will007,
  
  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you have some concerns about the storage on a SSD that you have installed. I'm happy to help you.

  What is the brand and model of the SSD itself?

  Have you checked the trash?

  Please let me know.

• How to remove the local drive of the storage profile

  I use 5.1.1 with last vcenter vcloud. My problem is that my profile of single storage includes local disk. (when I click on * all properties in vcloud)

  I went to vsphere client to vcenter (Home > inventory > data warehouses and the cluster data store) I see ESXi local disk. is there a way to delete it without deleting the content of the discs? the vcloud vms will go to local disk? concern is not shared between hosts. Thank you

  You create profiles of storage for data storage you want to use.

  First, assign user-defined storage capacities:

  1. Home-> inventory-> data and data Clusters store warehouses
  2. R.Click the data store you want to use-> Assign User-Defined storage capacities
  3. Click new... and set a name and a Description
  4. Repeat for all warehouses of data to include in the PVDC

  Second, to create profiles of VM storage

  1. Home-> management-> VM storage profiles
  2. Create a VM storage profile
  3. Name and assign storage capacities of the list defined by the user that you created
  4. IMPORTANT: Select the VM storage profile (buttons at the top of the window)

  Third, VCD storage profiles update

  1. Manage and control-> them vCenters
  2. r.Click vCenter and refresh the storage profiles (may take a few minutes)

  Fourth, edit PVDC

  1. Manage and monitor--> provider TDC-> open your PVDC
  2. Storage Profiles tab
  3. Add new profile storage
  4. Remove the * any storage profile (disable and then delete r.click)

• Local VMs of shared storage

  I have ESXi free license and create several virtual machines production in the local data store of ESXi, we complete installing vCenter server and add this host, proceed to the storage configuration and connect the ESXi too, we get the new vSphere license Enterprise liked.

  Someone would tell me how to move the virtual machines in the local data store of ESXi for shared storage, we need constantly to these machines, please?

  Best regards

  With the Enterprise Plus license, that you can live migrate virtual machine to a new storage. All you have to do to be able to use "Storage VMotion" is to ensure that the ESXi hosts have access to the shared storage. Take a look at for example http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/04/02/storage-vmotion-exploring-the-next-version-of-esxvcenter/ which has a screen shots, how it works.

• Cannot delete entry local old ESX host storage

  HY all!

  We changed one of our esx hosts (say name = ESX - A1) with a more recent material, the server also called ESX - A1.

  These where the steps...

  1.) former host in maintenance mode

  2.) deleted from our cluster HA.

  former host stop 3.)

  4. change material)

  5.) poweron new host with same name ESX - A1

  Everithing was very good, except for one...

  I still can't see the local storage of old ESX - A1 in the inventory of data store and the option 'delete' is unavailable (dimmed).

  Thanks for any help!

  Best regards

  Peter

  Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026661 to see how to remove a vCenter Server inventory data store.

• Exchange/SQL - Local or NFS/NAS storage?

  I'll put up our first vSphere environment.

  Material:

  HP DL380 G6 (2xQuad processors, 16 GB memory)

  Aberdeen (VMware certified NAS) with the NFS data store

  The host systems and storage are connected with multiple 1 GB NICs.  A second host is added for redundancy and increased VM shortly.

  I have a couple of operation low production VM on that very well because we test the system.  We now plan to create our exchange and SQL vm.  My question is if it's better to put these VM on local storage or on the nfs datastore?  We could not afford the full FC SAN, but reading a lot of white papers indicating the performance of nas NFS isn't so bad.  I'm looking for some advice from real world concerning data exchange/SQL on this type of installation.  I understand that I would lose the advanced features of the nfs if I went local storage but it plans for the performance.

  Now to put this in perspective, e-mail users total attaching to the exhange server just 75... but the availability is obviously important for them.

  Advice?

  Thank you

  If you go just for a basic setup, a large store of data is very good.  It might help separate out and use two exports, or more, if you want to use etherchannel, but who is probably added complexity that you don't really need at this point.

• [Solved] Laptop only uses the SSD storage, not RAM storage at all - Dell Inspiron i7559

  I just got this laptop a few weeks ago and it gave me so many problems.

  I've used 217/256 GB of my SSD. However, my laptop comes with 8 GB of RAM, which I have no idea how to access.

  Is it possible that I can use my RAM storage?

  or should I just buy an SSD with a storage more...?

  RAM is not for storage.

  You'll want to buy a larger SSD.

  But with an SSD of larger and is delivered with all questions of current hard drive cloning etc..

  Good luck.

• SSD storage continues to go down a bit

  Hey guys, it's probably just me being paranoid, because I just got this laptop and he explores like crazy, but I noticed that my storage space keep moving down very slightly (0.01 to 0.02 GB) and fluctuating even when I'm not really doing anything (just browsing some web pages). Is this normal or is something wrong? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Not very computer savvy at all. Thank you!

  No, it's not a stupid question. There may be many reasons for this. Which could be cached web pages you navigation. Another is the system might be to create a pagefile to swap pages of memory RAM back when you have many applications running. (The system will do this automatically) Also the log files are created by applications and the system while you are using the launch of the console application and it will show you the messages being logged to the console. Most of which I don't have the slightest idea what they mean.  I hope this helps a little.

• SSD storage has increased the performance of EI?

  What is the performance difference between:

  SSD:

  Capacity: 240 GB

  Interface: SATA Rev 3.0 (6 Gb / s)

  SATA Rev.3.0 reading speed: 450 MB / s

  Records speed SATA Rev.3.0: 450 MB / s

  vs

  HDD:

  Interface: SATA III (6 Gb / s)

  Cache 64MB

  Capacity of 1 TB

  Shaft speed (RPM) 7200 rpm

  Put the disk on an SSD cache makes a big difference.

• Cannot use local shared with replica storage of SSD

  So I had my environment from view for a while and everything works fine, but I have a question on how discovers works with the local replica SSD disks.  I read in the forums and in the document architecture and design if you use a local SSD to store your replicas (that will give you a performance gain), you cannot have your host in a cluster, thus renouncing HA and all the features that come with in a cluster of ESXi.

  However, I meet me a further restriction that I couldn't find any mention of in the forums or documentation, namely that you cannot store the clones in a shared storage if you have a replica on the local disk.  Whenever I got to the stage of commissioning and selected a FC LUN shared as the storage for the linked clones container, the pool would tell me that there not available and there no validation.  However, if I create a LUN that ONLY the host which I use to store the replica on the SSD has access to, then the commissioning is fine.  So my question is this: Why can't place clones related on the shared with a local replica disk storage?  I understand that I will not be able to use the features of the HA, but I would rather just a LUN shared for all clones related to the ease of administration (instead of having to create one for each host).  If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or explain to me why this is the case, it would be great.

  OK, I found the documentation indicating that "If clone related data warehouses are shared, the replica data store must be shared. Replicas can reside on a store of local data only if you configure clones all connected on warehouses of local data on the same ESX host. "Who is on page 14 of the document storage considerations see here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view_storage_considerations.pdf. However, it does not explain why this is, he said only that it is so.

  So as a result of this requirement, it is logical that linked clones on a present at a single ESXi host LUN would support, but without link clones on a LUN present at multiple ESXi hosts.
