Machine virtual hard disk (virtual disk) of the upper size limit put into service

Hi there, so I'm trying to create a hard drive or a virtual disk in a Virtual Machine in order to configure the virtual machine as a file server. The data store is a Promise VTrak M610P and I installed the vtrak as a type of VMFS5 5,46 TB of space (4 2 hard disks to each RAID 5). In the virtual machine, I added a hard drive and selected the store data vtrak and tried to set the provisioned to 5.46 TB size and type thick lazy disposition to zero, but I get an error of DiskCapControl with the range values. I changed the size set in service and 4 TB and he accepted the new hard drive. I can't find anything on the actual limit on the creation of hard disk in a virtual computer.


I'm running a server Supermicro X7DAL-E with VMware ESXi 5.5 U2.

Any ideas would be useful. Thank you.

I forgot I asked a similar question on a different section of the forum (shame on me), but I found a solution. Please see the following post Re: SMB access using esxi host and manage with MS server 2008 storage

Here's what I wrote on the link above:

So it turns out that there seems to be something wrong with vClient when you add a hard disk (virtual disk) to a virtual machine of size greater than 4 TB. Article VMware KB: value of range error message when you add more than 4 TB capacity discs in vSphere Client describes this if you encounter this problem, add the hard drive via vSphere CLI, CLI power or vmkfstools. So this seems to be a known issue on vClient. What I ended up doing was using vClient, creation of hard disk, adding to the virtual machine (size of the hard drive is to 5.45) and when I would get the error message on the DiskCapControl out of reach, I would just click OK and then finalize the creation of the hard drive on the virtual machine. Once the process is complete, I selected the virtual machine and noticed that he indeed added a new HDD size 5.45 TB even if he's complained about it. I pulled to the top of the virtual machine with windows server 2008 R2 installed and was able to create a new disk under windows and set it up as a shared drive on the network. Looks like vClient must be updated by VMware and correct this bug, if it's a bug that I think. Thank you for the help vervoort!

  • How to upgrade the form for organizations put into service?

    Hello

    I have a similar problem, as indicated here IOM - provided users with versions of form different resources

    But I need to update the form for organizations. I added 3 custom to your UD_ADOU attributes and this form is visible to the new accounts set up. Old accounts ORG provisioned see attributes form the only version 0.

    So I tried to use FVC utility to update these accounts of Organization put into service, but it does not work.

    Here are my properties file:

    $ cat fvc.properties

    ResourceObject; OU AD

    FormName; UD_ADOU

    FromVersion; 0

    /ToVersion; AdOUForm02

    Parent; UD_ADOU_DEPARTMENTCODE; N/A

    Parent; UD_ADOU_ORGUNITTYPE; Department

    Parent; UD_ADOU_MANAGER; '' cn = manager01, ou = users, dc = adroot, dc = local"

    I think it works for the only user accounts (see doc: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/admin.1112/e27149/formver.htm#CCHCBDBJ )

    My question is, who can update a form for organizations put into service? Is it possible to update the configured accounts of organizations by FVC utility? If so, how?

    Thank you

    Milan

    OK I found the solution and I found a bug in the IOM probably.

    The main tables are SDK and UD_ADOU;

    The SDK table contains information about the last active version of the form... org

    The UD_ADOU table contains all the forms (supplied) and their version of the form that uses the account provisioned.

    So I used the following SQL command to update the version of IOM 11.1.2.1 forms:

    Update UD_ADOU set UD_ADOU_VERSION =

    (select SDK_ACTIVE_VERSION in the SDK where SDK_NAME = 'UD_ADOU');

    commit;

    In IOM 11.1.2.2.x I started the work of the "upgrade" form, but as I said, after this i see new attributes in the form of commissioning Org, but when I change the data, these data are not configured for the announcement.

    Then I checked the SDK and UD_ADOU tables and I found in the SDK table active the last version of the East ADOU 1.  BUT! in the UD_ADOU table, all records have UD_ADOU_VERSION = 7! (Value 7 is the number of the line of the record with the SDK_NAME = "UD_ADOU").  Is this a bug?

    I changed all these archives to the value 1.

    Update UD_ADOU set UD_ADOU_VERSION = 1;

    commit;

    And now, also commissioning works well in IOM 11.1.2.2.x

  • Best practices - addition RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

    Addition of RDM to the second node (W2K3) MCSC Machine virtual nodes on the physical host computers

    Unable to find another thread on this

    When you add RAW disks to the second node in Virtual Machines across physical hosts in the Cluster / Cluster across boxes,.

    VMware said shared point of the storage drives in the same location as the first node sharing storage disc *.

    -Select use an existing virtual drive...

    -In the drive path, navigate to the location of the disk (quorum) specified for the first node

    -Select the same virtual device node you chose for the first virtual machine shared storage disks, IE SCSI (1:0)...

    In other words to add the RDM to mscs-node2, navigate to/vmfs/volumes/lun1/mscs-node1 / mscs - node1_2.vmdk (mscs-node1_2 - rdmp.vmdk)

    For years we have directly added the ROW the second node specifying RDM disk not existing does not, in general we do directly from the host, not the vCenter, it seems to work fine.

    For what is the safest way, the official method can cause all sorts of problems if you need to cancel the registration of the ROW on the first node (here's where I found no official documentation).

    Delete you or keep the file descriptor? We tried to keep him, but ended up with several mappings to la.vmdk/rdmp.vmdk, so now, this system has disk2_.vmdk / disk2_ - rdmp.vmdk and disk4_.vmdk / disk4_ - rdmp.vmdk pointing to the same RAW.

    What really bothers me is safety, these are very important boxes, I prefer to continue to have the VMDK and rdmp.vmdk in separate data warehouses, and do not have this dependence on the head node

    Your comments please, we are viewing the store only setup of MSCS clusters with lanes separated from RDM and are there risks associated with this?

    * Ref: "Setup for Microsoft Cluster Service - 4.1 and Failover Clustering".

    I realize there was an error in my logic

    When you work with the main node, if there is a requirement to unmap drives ROUGH (move to another cluster vmware, cloning the system etc.)

    Take note of the location of all the rdmp.vmdks

    Remove each rdm disk without deleting

    To add

    Add "Use an existing virtual disk to disk" (yes I know its bad, but once you create the host calling now think its virtual)

    Navigate to the mapping of existing raw device, appearing like a vmdk * and add using the former location of scsi

    Graphic interface hides the descriptor

    A virtual disk has a vmdk and a flat.vmdk

    A CRUDE disk has a vmdk and a rdmp.vmdk (the dish is replaced by vocation)

    A suggestion of one of my companions is to locate the al the ROW in a single data store small, visibility of virtual machines with raw disk went like this

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

    Is this possible?  Potential complications?

    I can't disable MX7 because this no longer exists.

    Yes, when you enter the CF9 license, the installer will say 'it of a license upgrade, please provide the original of his licence' and give you another form to your CF7 license.  If she likes these two licenses, you're good to go.

  • VMWare esxi 5.5 - is possible to shrink a thick disk hard put into service?

    Hey guys

    Recently, I have increased the size of the hard drive to one of my VM to 300 GB drives when I only need 200GB.

    The player is supplied thickness. Memory I don't think that you can reduce a thick disc put into service from the client VMWare 5.5.

    So my question is, is there another way I can reduce this hard drive stocked thickness so I can recover unused space?

    Kind regards

    Aaron

    Yes, technically, if you have a 300 GB windows volume supported by a thick hard of 300 GB you can do the following:

    1. Defragment system files comments with Raxco Disk defrag or similar, as the use of the option consolidate free space
    2. Try and make sure that a good number costs blocks by the end of the partition (options defrag boot use pagefile and $mft etc.)
    3. Reduce the 200 GB partition
    4. Storage vmotion virtual machine and set the destination thin format

    This hard never will now have more than 200 GB unless the windows partition is cultivated but the hard remains thin. Otherwise, vmware standalone converter or vmkfstools way to go. If prefer vmkfstools.

I just want to be able to adapt, without having to play around with BIOS upgrades so simply the easiest option, which is to buy, set up and reinstall the software.

    (4) original drive is Hitachi, Seagate Barracuda would be better?

    (5) think active drive a 2 MB cache, a cache 8 MB drive would work ok without me having to pay anything and if yes is it useful on the 2 MB cache?

  • How to specify the file of virtual hard disk when you create a new virtual machine using virtual hard disk on the data store?

    I'm new to PowerCLI and find quite simple, but in the documentation I read, I don't see how to use a virtual hard drive, existing on a data store when you create a new virtual machine.

    Is this simple registration on the virtual hard disk, or did I miss something?

    My current create VM is the following statement:

    New-VM

    -Name $TargetHostName -host $TargetVMCenterHost -data store $TargetVMCenterDatastore DiskMB - 20000 -MemoryMB $TargetHostMemoryMB -NumCPU $TargetHostCPUs -ID $TargetHostOS -CD -Description $TargetHostName

    Didn't notice this before, but I think that vSphere will use a backslash instead of a slash in the paths.

  • Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

    Hello

    I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

    Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

    I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

    Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

    I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

    I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

    Sigmoid wrote:

    Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

    A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

    OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

    Let's do it this way

    1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
    2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
    3. make the BACKUP!
    4. Disconnect the data host drives
    5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
    6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
    7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
    8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
    9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
    10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
    11. begin to ESXi
    12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
    13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  • How to find out really currently used physical memory and swap space of hard disk to the virtual computer running?

    Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.

    First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?

    Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

    *. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.

    Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.

    How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

    Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.

    The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.
