• Reference Dell MD3000i and degraded physical disk channel

  Nice day

  We have a Dell MD 3000i with an extra box storage. And today, there are two mistakes in the journal:

  1 physical disk channel set to gradient

  Date/time: 30.04.13 10:56:14
  Sequence number: 9783
  Type of event: 1209

  In this case recovery guru say "you must contact your technical support representative to correct this defect. Do NOT try to fix this problem yourself. So, how we can receive technical support recommendations and try to repair this failure?

  If you need more details, we can put any storage array profile output.

  Hello UtkinE,

  Yes, you will need to stop all iSCSI traffic so that you can update the NVSRAM.  With the timeout error you get all came from controller 1 & he had only discs 1 & 5.  The current version of NVSRAM you version 4 and the last one which is for the MD3000i is version 13.  With who have older firmware it was improvements to correct your problem in the latest versions of firmware.  I also had one of our analysts will confirm as well just to make sure that it is the best fix for your problem.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Path of degraded physical disk MD3000i

  Obtained MD3000i with guru recovery saying individual physical disk but the disk is not listed...

  Gradient of physical disk paths:
    Channel: 1
       Of the physical disks:  (Unknown)

  The storage profile shows as optimal, even if I think it's been reset with smcli.

  I have attached the support beam.

  Hello Pondule,

  Thanks to the new support package. So by examining all of the support, everything is good, but the error is suspended in the cache.  You will need to do is to restart the MD & who should clear the error of the guru.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Degraded physical disk channel MD3000i

  I get this error on my MD3000i we have a connected to the MD1000. All discs show optimal, but disk channel 1 shows optimal disk channel 2 shows degraded.

  Here a technician Dell here I can send zip support for?

  Hello grendels_Arm,

  What I would do, is to clear the statistics of physical disk channel. Here are the commands that must be run:

  SMcli n Pei password - c "clear stats allPhysicalDiskChannels;

  SMcli n Pei password - c "set physicalDiskChannel State [0] = optimal;

  SMcli n Pei password - c "set the status of physicalDiskChannel [1] = optimal;

  If you still get the error after erasing all channel statistics, then we need to look a your MD3000i support beam to see what the cause of the error still occur.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

  VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

  The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

  According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
  Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
  I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
  So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
  Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
  I think that then it will work.
  Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
  To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
  Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

• 12.04.01 Ubuntu x 86-putting in place a virtual Windows XP machine to access the physical disk

  Dear community,

  I'm new to VMware Workstation, but progressed in computer science.

  At first, I want to give you a brief introduction of my system and my goal.

  HP ProBook 6550 b (System with Intel Core i5 processor Intel-based)

  The HARD drive access mode: S - ATA AHCI

  Operating systems: Windows 7, Ubuntu 12.04 x 86, Ubuntu 12.04 x 64

  Boot Manager: GRUB2

  VMware Workstation (trial period) to 9.01 Linux x 86

  Goal: install MS Windows XP Professional with physical disk access several partitions on the hard drive local

  The installation of VMware Workstation 9.01 on my system Ubuntu 12.04 x 86 worked perfectly, without any error. Large.

  I was able to set up and run a Windows XP VM standard by creating a new virtual disk , following the Nice Wizard.

  It was just to test, but just after I tried to configure the same OS as a virtual machine using a physical disk (for advanced users) to directly access a local hard drive.

  Also, I selected "BusLogic (recommended)" on the choice of type of I/O controller.

  As a device, I chose the HARD internal laptop drive and used two individual partitions (the real partitions on my HARD drive I wanted access within the virtual machine).

  These partitions have been preformatted with NTFS (and not have been mounted in my Ubuntu).

  However, I was not sure if Windows XP has been will be installed on one of these partitions.

  The turn on/off the virtual machine to install the OS, I got the message following (msg1):

  "You are using a SCSI drive. Performance of dual-boot SCSI physical drives are poor. The installed operating system could not start correctly in the virtual machine. However, the physical SCSI disks work normally so exclusively in the virtual machine. »

  Just after the message following (msg2):

  "If you dual-boot a native Windows installation, problems can occur when attempting to start your system in VMware Workstation." For more information, see "http://vmware.com/info?id=128". "
  Click OK to continue, Cancel to power off.

  And finally this (msg3):

  «An error has occurred causing a virtual CPU go into the stop State.» If this anomaly had occurred outside of a virtual machine, it would have caused the physical machine restart. The stop State are accessible by properly configuring the virtual machine, a bug in the guest operating system or a problem in VMware Workstation.
  Click OK to restart the virtual machine or Cancel to turn off the virtual machine. »

  I cannot explain the last error message and don't know what to do.

  After specifying msg2, I found information about possible problems in dual-boot environments, caused by different drivers for the IDE controller.

  So I tried to change the access mode to S - ATA AHCI HARD drive to S - ATA IDE in the BIOS to solve the problem.

  Unfortunately, I have had no success on this operation, because the error message appeared again, once I restarted the VM.

  Sorry, but I have no idea what goes wrong.

  In fact, I don't know what VMware workstation wants to do, when you install the system on a disc/physical partition to have direct access to the local hard disk.

  Because I don't see even the first screen of Windows Setup, there must be something wrong.

  Underlying product system issues and if it's a primary or logical partition?

  Need a complete unformated HDD?

  Only selected partitions are accessible within the virtual machine?

  Is the system installed itself on the selected partitions?

  Maybe some experienced users can help.

  Your help is welcome!

  Thank you.

  First I use a raw disk to install Windows XP from a virtual machine, but if I had an existing installation, I would add the partition as a raw to be executed with a VM disk.

  Here's what I'd do...  Install Windows XP to a normal file based virtual machine, and then add a second disk as a raw disk with the partitions you want to join.  That's assuming that you really need not where what to start Windows XP natively and the physical partitions that access are used for data.  Also if need be add the raw disk as IDE.

• Use a physical disk?

  I'll install some VMS soon to a SSD drive, the server on which the VMs will be there will be two of the most recent Intel 34nm SSDs, the size of 80 GB. I thought that I could choose the option to let the virtual machines have a direct access to the physical disk, but then I started to wonder if it would cause problems with multiple computers on a single disc. So my first question, does anyone know if there will be conflicts of two virtual computers that have "direct access to the local hard drive?

  Also, when you select the option "use physical drive", is still a single virtual disk created on this disk file? Or he writes all the individual hard disk as if it were a BONE regularly installed on the drive?

  My last question is probably a little more complicated for you all, as he considers how solid state drives works. SSD drives have a limited number of write cycles, normally, for companies, servers SLC based drives are used and life is not a problem. MLC readers become better and with lower usage, that this server will get, life expected to be good for 5-10 years on each disc. Now VMWare creates a single virtual disk file that is written to disk, when changes are made to the virtual machine to the operating system, these changes are then written to the virtual disk on the physical hard disk file. So what I was wondering is when changes are made and this virtual disk file has a change to it, how these changes get will write for the reader in solid state? Because if it rewrites the file of virtual disk to the same cells on the disk then these cells will wear very quickly while other space the disc is still brand new. If the file will be written to a new set of cells? Or will be written only the changes to the drive, and even if it's a single file changes will be written to a completely different sector on the drive?

  Joakim - I don't trust gross in anyway records when you use 'partitionedDevice' and the logical partitions / extended.

  In most cases, I have seen that this creates problems.

  But having more than one primary partition is ok

• AGAIN starts after only one physical disk has several partitions makes no sense to the production oracle database?

  Dear Experts,

  Don't + REDO1 diskgroup have only one physical disk has several partitions makes no sense to the production oracle database?

  For example

  • + Diskgroup Redo1 have 2 50 GB disks (fact these 2 discs are the same physical disk partitions OR these should be separate disk as recommended approach)?
  • + Diskgroup Redo1 have 2 drives of capacity 50 GB (for RAID 1 + 0)
  • + Diskgroup Redo2 have 2 50 GB disks
  • + Diskgroup Redo2 have 2 drives of capacity 50 GB (for RAID 1 + 0 )

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  Partitioning your disks for ASM configuration as 'A' might make sense. If you lose one disk, you have the discs to another.

  'B' totally make sense if you have lost the disc that you have lost all group ASM and you need to change this with something like 'C '.

  But obviously you need redundancy ASM configured appropriately.

  

  Kind regards

• T310 degraded virtual disk, all physical disks 'online '.

  It is a PowerEdge T310 server. Physical disk 0:0:3 showed physical way errors in the past, but after reinstalling the drive, everything was going well for a while. Now Dell OM reports that the virtual disk is degraded, but all four disks are online reports and have this green check mark by them.

  Nothing shows expected failure and I don't see any disk medium error, the firmware is up to date - is their something I don't see as to why my virtual drive would fail? I think there is always a problem with PD 0:0:3 even though she does not appear in the newspapers. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  PowerEdge T310, degraded virtual disk as of 04 21, 2015:

  

  All the physical disks on the other hand are very well reports:

  

  Errors of the past and present newspapers:

  

  

  -Very well, thank you for the suggestion!

• Is it possible to get physical disks for the version the creative cloud Lab?

  Is it possible to get physical disks for the Lab (lab license) of the creative cloud version? Download times to download most of the following CC are crazy. Physical disks would be useful.

• Fusion Pro 8 still requires the administrator password to log raw physical disks at startup

  I'm 10.11.3 El Capitan server running in an instance of VM Fusion 8 running on a 10.11.3 host El Capitan.

  For performance reasons, I connect Raw / partitions of physical disk using the links generated with the vmware-rawdiskCreator command line tool and added to the .vmx file.

  My question is, since it is a server, I want it to load VMWare Fusion and start the virtual machine automatically at startup, but each time the virtual machine is started, a message appears stating "VMware Fusion requires administrator privileges to access Boot Camp disks.  Type your password for this purpose".

  Some research that it used to be far to say merge to "never ask" passwords, but this feature doesn't seem to be an option of Fusion Pro 8.

  Is there a work around to bypass the manual password entry requirement?

  OK, I found an answer to my own question...

  Although it doesn't seem to be an option to disable the prompt of the graphical interface of Fusion Pro 8, there IS one on the command line.

  First, find the UID of the user account that you launch VMware Fusion with the help of.

  ID

  (Often this will be 501 as the UID of the first user created on any mac).

  Then run...

  / Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmware-rawdiskAuthTool neverAsk

  For more info general run and switches...

• Expand a virtual disk with new physical disks?

  Hello people,

  Pleas in law not to shoot me to ask what I fear it may have already answered somewhere and my research is poor and as still not turned up the answer.

  I'm relatively new to VMware, previous job was especially MS Hyper-V and is always to some extent.

  Hower to the point in question, I have a single host (VMware ESXi 5.0.0) with a single server VMware 2008R2 on her guest and the C: drive is quickly running out of space. The existing, aligned hard disk virtual hard disk has 10 GB free to extend the ramdisk with.

  Therefore, my thoughts are I might add an another one or two new physical disks and add them to the data store that is aligned with the virtual C:\drive to the comment server, I would then be able to extend the exisitng C:\ virtual hard disk with the new ability to drive two new physical drives added?

  Hope this sense makses, hoing it's okay and I get out of jail!

  Thank you very much

  Graeme

  Hello

  Please see this link because it deals with the procedure to enlarge a vmdk and extend partition in comments

  First enlarge the data store after the addition of physical drives. Select the data store, properties, increase and the LUN detected.

  Then use the vmkfstools as explained in the video to develop
