Maximum size of Machine disk virtual c:\

Dear Experts,

I have 100 GB assigned to LUN on SAN. I need to install Win 2008 Std 64 bit on it with 4 vCPU and 6 GB of memory. When you create the new virtual machine when I assigned total 100 GB hard drive, both installation is complete when I was about to turn on VM, I got error not enough resources on the data store. So, I edited the settings and reduced to 85GB. This time, he was turned on and I installed Windows 2008 standard 64 bit, installed for windows updates and everything went well.

My question is always on this datastore LUN 15 GB is free, I can go to this virtual machine the maximum size? What is the logic behind this? Please keep in mind, that I won't be in a situation which, after having increased the size of the disc, when I disable VM and try to turn it ON again the next time I'm getting insufficient resources on the data store.

Increase in size of disk for this virtual machine is also possible direct? as is windows 2008 r2 64-bit?

Waiting for answers.

Thank you

What happens if I increase the LUN space that is now 100 GB, can I extend existing LUN? at the moment it is LUN 13

Yes, the "growth of the VMFS Volume" was introduced with vSphere 4. After you increase the size of the LUN, you can resize/do push the data store from the GUI without interruption of service. You may need to run a new scan for hosts to discover new size well.

No nail on the size max '171,16 GB'. Maybe this value is derived by some calculation for thin provisioned disks!

BTW, you are intentionally supplying this virtual disk configured as thin!

  • 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,.

  • Satellite 5200 - maximum size of HARD drive

    Hello
    I have several times successfully updated my hard drive in my 5200-701.
    I am running a 100 GB HD as the primary drive and a 120 GB hard drive in the Bay of style.
    Unfortunately, I'm out of new space and want to step up to a 160 GB or even HD 200 GB.
    Does anyone know if there are no restrictions in the maximum size of a disk?
    I'm not an expert, but it tickles my mind that there was a moment where there is a limit of 132 GB, but that might have had something to do with Windows NT or 2000.
    I am running XP but always in the SP1 Version.

    Best regards
    Henning

    Hello Henning

    It is very useful to know that 5200 Satellite can work well with the HDD. You will be very happy if someone has tested the limits of capacity of HARD disk with this device. It's that there is no official document on this subject.

    As far as I know the maximum capacity of the HARD drive depends on the BIOS and not the operating system. I heard that the hardware (specialized for the hardware upgrade) can manipulate BIOS to work with hard disks of high capacity.

  • Equium A60-157: Question about maximum size of HARD drive

    Hello

    Looking to upgrade my Pentium 4 3.06GHz Equium A60-157 a bit then got a new module of 1024 MB of RAM, but now really to upgrade my 40 gb HDD to go with. I found all the specifications of the type of HARD drive, I need, but may not know what the maximum size of the disk, it is that the BIOS will recognize. I don't think that I've never updated by the BIOS and I'm looking to get a 120 GB drive. Any ideas please?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Alex,

    Most portable smanufactured in the last 5 years or so are able to accept larger hard drive capacity without problem. I am currently using a 80 GB drive in an old SA30 of three years. I can't guarantee a 120 GB drive will work, but I see no reason why it wouldn't.

    Kind regards

    I would like to know if it is suportts Sata drives.

    Thank you in advance.

    The problem is that there is no official information on the maximum size of HARD drive on laptop series different. If we can only speculate on the supported formats.

    But I found it here in the forum:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=93195𖰋

    The user has updated the own M70 with the 160 GB drive HARD Toshiba MK1637GSX and it works.
    So maybe this info helps a bit.

    Good bye

  • What is the maximum size of virtual disk in machines virtual esxi 4.0

    I am trying to create a virtual disk to a virtual machine, I want to make the size of the 300 GB disk but its not allowing to create.

    Can I know what is the maximum size of virtual disk, we can create in machines virtual esxi 4.0 with vmfs3 partition


    The maximum size of the virtual disk that you can use depends on the size of the selected block when formatting of the data store. With the default of 1 MB block size, the maximum size of virtual disk on a VMFS-3 datastore is ~ 256MB.

  • The maximum for a virtual machine disk size

    Hello

    Can I create a disk to a virtual machine that is larger then 2 TB?

    On a physical box, you convert dynamic disks and their band... but I think VMware recommend snot of dynamic disks.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    2 TB is the max and also the MAX for several operating systems. If for any reason any if you need then you will need to do a bunch of multiple VMDK.

    For more information about the maximum size please see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003565

  • vRO presentation: return the total size of the disk of the virtual machine

    Hi guys,.

    I have a catalog item to extend a drive, which is presented to the vRA advanced services and picks up the vRO workflow. For this reason, the default IaaS vRA no between not affecting resource management. So I would limit the end-users to a maximum size of the virtual machine - that is to say, if the size + total size they intended to expand is > to a specific size, then the workflow will report this.

    I wrote the following code to return the total of all the disks that are attached to a machine. Then, it comes to the tab Presentation vRO to fill the discs max value. It works fine when I use the code as a workflow and connect the output. However, vRO presentation does not return a value any. Anyone had similar problems or I made a stupid mistake and missed something?

    var total = 0;

    size var = new Array();

    var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

    var h = 0;

    for (var i in devices) {}

    If (devices [i] instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}

    size [h +] = [i] devices, .capacityInKB / 1024 / 1024;

    Total += devices [i] .capacityInKB / 1024 / 1024;

    }

    }

    return to the total;




    Thank you

    resolved - used the wrong presentation vRO variable. Had to use rather than answer pre-defined data binding

  • 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!

  • HP 14-r025tx: what is the maximum size of hard drive I can replace my default one? & other hard disk performance issue

    My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?

    Another question.

    I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?

    or

    Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?

    Hello

    1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.

    2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.

    3. as (2) above.

    Kind regards.

    Yes, you can do it. The minimum must be large enough to contain an image of the core. If the maximum is too small, you will get the unpleasant results.
