• Maximum size VMDK file

  Hi guys,.
  I know what is already online

  1. The maximum size of VMDK supported on a datastore to VMFS-5 is increased to 62 TB. However, the maximum size of VMDK supported on VMFS-3 still is 2 TB. Size maximum a VMDK on NFS support is the lesser of TB 62 and 1% less than the maximum file size supported by the NFS file system.

  However in my vSphere client, I get different information is there someone who can confirm 1000% what is the case. I use

  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1746018

  VMware ESXi 5.5.0 Update 1

  Any info is greatly appreciated!

  

  It is planned. Although 5.5 supports max size VMDK 62TB, VI client will continue to show as 2 TB as all the new 5.5 features are supported in the Web client. If you check the same WebClient, it will certainly show 62TB VMDK as maximum size. If you want to create VMDK size more than 2 TB, you will need to use the web client. All the features up to 5.1 are fully supported by VI client.

• Maximum size of the VMDK file we can assign during the P2V?

  Hello.

  We conduct P2V for a server physical and would like to address one of the disk for P2V.

  Rather than extend the VMDK disk in the future, we would like to extend during P2V.  Given that VMDK file maximum size is 2 TB for ESXi host, we can assign 2 TB for this VMDK file OR there is a recommended maximum size to use?

  Thank you

  I have myself yet, but I guess you should be able to assign the maximum size of virtual disk, depending on the block size of the data store (for ESXi versions before the 5.x/VMFS-5). That said, I suggest that you don't assign it more than 2 032 GB in order to create snapshots for this virtual disk (see "calculates the time system required by the snapshot files" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

• The maximum size of the LUN and VMDK disks

  Hello

  What is the maximum size of a LUN I can introduce to Virtual Center.  What is the disk vmdk maximum size that I can use in a Virtual Machine?

  I use vSphere 4.1 and Virtual Center 4.1.

  Thank you.

• VMX file larger than the maximum size supported by the data store

  Hi all

  I seem to be getting a strange error trying to a virtual machine that is located on a snapshot VMFS5, to the data store format.

  The virtual machine (VMDK and VMX file) is installed on a thin provisioned 2 TB datastore which has the value VMFS5 formatting.  It is a data store new with no other VM on it.  I had problems in the past with the datastore block sizes (1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB on VMFS3), however, I thought that VMFS5 got rid of the question, since it's all blocks of 1 MB and all files in the virtual computer are on the same data store.

  The error I get indicates that the VMX file is too large for the data store (used Im saying "unspecified file), however, if I do the independent 2 TB disk snapshots through the fine.  The virtual machine has two virtual disks, a 50 VMDK of GB and a thin 2 TB VMDK (200 GB used).  I tried fast vMotioning the VMDK and VMX to other data formatted VMFS5 stores and still get the same error.

  I'd appreciate any help and ideas.

  Thank you

  Although the block size limit is party, maximum 2 TB file size less 512octets still exists. Since a Flash disk can grow waist put in service the basic disk more overhead for the metadata, the maximum size of virtual disk - to be able to create snapshots - is 2032 GB.

• < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore '< indeterminate datastore >.

  I know that this issue has much spoken in the forums, but the answers are always to make sure that your block sizes are set to 8 MB - mine are already. Let me explain:

  I have a virtual machine with a large amount of connected storage - something along the lines of discs 10 x 1.99 to. Sit all VMDK on partitions of the VMFS of 8 MB of size block, including the configuration of the VM (location of the pagefile).

  Every time I try and snapshot of the virtual machine, I see the "< unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >. All other virtual machines instant fine, but any other VM has a similar amount of storage as the VM problem.

  I have now moved the configuration files of the virtual machine to a new partition VMFS 5 of 1.91 TB, but the instant error persists. Most of the readers is sitting on VMFS 3.33 or 3.46. It will take me a while to move all VMFS 5 to see if that solves the problem.

  My VMDK and volumes are smaller than 2032GB. I don't understand why, it's be a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Although ESXi 5 supports larger LUN as a raw physical devices (up to 64 TB), the maximum size of a virtual disk has not yet changed.

• Size Max VMDK in ESXi 4.1

• &lt; Unspecified file name &gt; file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' &lt; indeterminate datastore &gt;

  Hello

  I use vSphere4 and I'm having problems, create snapshots of virtual machines.  I get the following error when I try and take a snapshot...

  File & lt; filename not specified & gt; is larger that the maximum size supported by the store data "& lt; not stated the store data & gt;

  If I check all disks assigned to the virtual machine, the block sizes are ok.  All the disks are of block size of 1 MB and less 60GB, except one that is 600GB and a 4 MB block size.  There are also free space on each data store with being less 5,30 Go which I guess should be much more than enough to create a snapshot.

  In addition, whenever I try and create a snapshot, it creates a file called SERVER - Snapshot1.vmsn, 2, 3, 4 etc. on the main data store.

  Is it possible that because of the single disc of 600 GB, VMware prevents me from taking a snapshot?

  Here is the config...

  See the attached file for disk configuration information.  Operating system drive is the drive where the snapshots are created.

  Basic disks refers to all disks assigned to the virtual machine. Given that, by default, the snapshot is stored the vmx file, this data store should be able to potentially create a VMDK your largest disk size, assuming that you change every block in the vmdk.

  In your case, it should support a snapshot that can potentially reach 600 GB to one of your drives, and so needs a block of size on the VMFS volume to support this. You can redirect the snapshots to another logic unit number and so to work around this problem (Storage VMotion is another option) limitation.

  Trust, this clears up a little.

• The maximum size of the disk

  In vsphere, which is the size of disk and partition size limit?

  Thank you

  Max

  The maximum size (for both the disk and partition) is 2 TB - 512b

  This limit also applies to the LUN, RDM disk, vmdk disk,...

  I have read that I need to increase the size of the block, but I need to remove the data store. Is it the same on ESXi 4.0?  I have 4 other VM about 150 GB. Please tell me I'm wrong.  Please...

  Same rules apply.  Create an another LUN with the correct block size and away files or hang the lun and recreate

• Hi, my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this. Visited links are is more changing color.

  Hello
  My places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this.
  Suddenly the visited links don't change is no longer the font color, that I prepare for an exam, I need visited issues to change color, to follow up on issues that I ended. But if I delete a few days of history, then again once, most visited links change color and then it stops, it seems that something is getting full and not able to accommodate more? Why my visited links don't change color after a number of visits? I would like to make a back up of the file places.sqlite. So I tried everything to remove the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, and then copy paste places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links is no longer change color, if I delete a few days in history and then a few visits is again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my quota of visited links is increased , I also tried tweaking about: config and there has been no result. Although I was not really convinced that _pages growing brower.history_max (don't remember the name, but I'm sure you get the idea) will help.
  Seems that while my visited links change color, quota is met and only if I delete the history of a few days will I get some links most visited to change color. Can someone enlighten us? As mentioned that my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB so I think maybe this has something to do with it? Would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

  Sorry it is not looking good.

  1. Unlike bookmarks history is not saved in Firefox.
  2. There is a possibility using Windows.
  3. Sync is not expected to back up things until the synchronization server
  4. If places.sqlite does not sort itself you may have to re-create remove it. You will lose your history, but can still access indirectly IF you have saved a copy of the appropriate
  5. Different databases to try to create new profiles
  1. History
     is rather less robust than bookmarks, you should deliberately somehow return it upward, but it's too late now
  2. Earlier versions of Windows
     This is really the last chance. Make sure you have some places.sqlite you saved. Always before and after any attempt to restore the backup. Windows must be able to provide a previous version. One of these versions may be usable as is; or can be used after a repair with housekeeping. Of course, this is not the latest version but it should help.
  3. Sync is not a server backup service.
     Sync is intended to save on another device, no backup is the fact that the second device then contains synchronized information. IIRC Sync development ceased, and the replacement when available may include a server backup option.
  4. Recreate the database of bookmarks (including history)
     Unfortunately, recess can only use saved bookmarks, there is no saved history to use. Once the database is re-created, it will continue to store the history but it loses the existing history. This time take steps to save on a regular basis.

  5. Use the new profiles for database testing.
  
  To simplify comparison of the results of the database different files create one or more new additional profiles. Then try to smash the places.sqlite file into the test profile with any other places.sqlite, you want to try. Allows you to directly compare the databases, without seeking to use sync and without changing the Firefox profile work unnecessarily. You can keep a reference profile of studies with the best of the profiles of any shows results of history; According to the best recreated or corrupted database is.
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • CARE, do not rename or delete profiles created once or use anything other than empty folders when they are created. Don't nest in the other profiles. (At least until you know exactly how it behaves - post back if you never consider such actions)

• What is the maximum size of HARD drive, I use in my dc7600 CMT

  I use a HP dc7600 CMT, which works well after the upgrade to a Samsung 128 GB SSD Intel Pentium D 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6450. I'm under Win 8.1 Pro x 64, with the most recent upgrade and have absolutely no problem. Now, I want to add a second internal HDD and I wonder what is the maximum size that I can go to. I can't go up to 2 TB, or am I limited to a lower number? 1 TB? 500 GB? 250 GB?

  Will be happy to help here, especially if he actually tried to apply in practice.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello:

  In theory, you'd be limited to 2 TB.

  The biggest HARD drive I have ever installed in my dc7600 CMT was a 1 TB of HDD, so I can't confirm that a 2 TB drive will absolutely work.

• Portege R100: Question on the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hello

  I understand the internal player on the R100 is an ATA5 (Enhanced IDE), I've only used the IBM (now HGST) readers, they do a decent-sized on ATA6 disc, I guess, it will take the player that will support ATA5 as the controller on the R100 is ATA5 only.

  As for the size, what is the maximum size can I ride in this unit?

  The orginal is 5.4 width x depth x 7.9 height 8 mm. Can I assume all 1.8 inch drive will fot or is it a mine field?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  AFAIK the R100 was delivered with a 30GB and 40GB HDD.
  I found an info that the hard drives are compatible:

  HDD1422: Width (mm) 54.0; Height (mm) 5.0 0.15; Depth (mm) 78.5 0.3

• Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

  (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

  Hello John

  Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
  My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

  What do you think?
