Measure vs. increase the size of the - not sure of the difference

I have a question about action vs increase the size of a data store.  I don't know if they are one and the same.

If I have a 200 GB LUN presented to me and I have a 200 GB data store.  We realize that we actually need is 400GB.  In our case, the SAN administrator pushes the LUN and so we can increase the size of the data store.  What is a measure?  I'm not add two LUNS together to make more size.

The alternative is of course to create a NEW LUN of 400 GB and the storage vmotion on him, but if the above is not dangerous or going to steal the performance that we would prefer that.

Any thoughts?

to what extent could be covering the different LUN data store.

increase in size of the data store would actually expand IF you have available space on the lun or on your storage space has developed firstly

If he pushes the san admin, it is not a measure.

SVMotion to a larger data store is fine too.

Here you can see that the virtual machine is not affected by increasing the data store

  • Increase the size of the disc does not completely.

    Recently, I noticed that a server was approaching the 600 GB HDD capacity.  If (as I did with other servers), I increased the size of the volume on the SAN.  vSphere found the climb.  Then, I was able to go into Disk Manager and I saw (unpartioned) free space on the server.  I expanded the volume without problem.  But when I go into windows Explorer, it still shows the old ability.  Since I've done it before on other servers, I'm a bit mixed upward.  I even restarted early this morning to see if he'll fix it, but it didn't.  So, I missed a step key somewhere?  Most of my other servers are windows 2008 R2... this one is windows 2008 standard... is there a problem because of this?  It seemed simple enough.  I did some preliminary research, this morning, but I could not find a definitive answer anywhere.  So, I thought I'd try everyone here.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Dynamics Processor Calc does not reach more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase the CalcLockBlock setting, and then try again (a small data cache setting can also cause this problem, check the size of data cache setting).

    Hello

    Our environment is Essbase 11.1.2.2 and work on Essbase EAS and components of Shared Services. One of our user tried to execute the Script of Cal of a single application and in the face of this error.

    Dynamics Processor Calc does not reach more than [100] ESM blocks during the calculation, please increase the CalcLockBlock setting, and then try again (a small data cache setting can also cause this problem, check the size of data cache setting).


    I did a few Google and found that we need to add something in the Essbase.cfg file as below.

    Dynamics Processor Calc 1012704 fails to more blocks ESM number for the calculation, please increase the CalcLockBlock setting, and then try again (a small data cache setting can also cause this problem, check the size of data cache setting).

    Possible problems

    Analytical services cannot lock enough blocks to perform the calculation.

    Possible solutions

    Increase the number of blocks of analytical Services can allocate to a calculation:

    1. Set the maximum number of blocks of analytical Services can allocate at least 500.
      1. If you are not a $ARBORPATH/bin/essbase.cfg on the file server computer, create one using a text editor.
      2. In the essbase.cfg folder on the server computer, set CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH to 500.
      3. Stopping and restarting Analysis server.
    2. Add the command SET LOCKBLOCK STUDENT at the beginning of the calculation script.
    3. Set the cache of data large enough to hold all the blocks specified in the CALCLOCKBLOCKHIGH parameter.

    In fact in our queue (essbase.cfg) Config Server we have given below added.

    CalcLockBlockHigh 2000

    CalcLockBlockDefault 200

    CalcLockBlocklow 50


    So my question is if edit us the file Essbase.cfg and add the above settings restart services will work?  and if yes, why should change us the configuration file of server if the problem concerns a Cal Script application. Please guide me how to do this.


    Kind regards

    Yes it must *.

    Make sure that you have "migrated settings cache of database as well. If the cache is too small, you will have similar problems.

  • How to increase the font size. the details of what to do via the options did not work at all.

    I went through the firefox to the options tab, font size of content options and an increase of 16 including on the Advanced tab. looks still unchanged at font size 10.
    any ideas please?

    Perhaps unchecking (via the advanced under the content tab button) which reads "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" will help you.

    Also FYI, when you browse websites using CTRL and "+" (that is, the plus sign) will increase the font size. CTRL and "-" (minus sign) will reduce the font size. and CTRL and "0" (zero) will restore the original font size.

  • Dell virtual disk are larger. You want to increase the size of the data store.

    Hello

    I started the implementation of a server ESXi 5.5 Update 1 this week. I didn't know Dell shipped the server with two virtual disks instead of one. I realized this _apres_ that I had already created the data store and setup a few virtual machines to the breast. I called Dell who sent specific instructions to increase the removal of the second (empty) virtual disk and add it to the main. In the end, I increased the single VD from 2 TB to 3 TB and I want to give the remaining space in my store of data.

    I tried to follow the article here that explains how to do this via the CLI.

    Well, he did not altogether. Fortunately, I was able to recover my datastore my setting start and end sectors to their original numbers. But I'm still left with this almost 1 TB of space that I can not attribute to the data store. After that I reread storage adapters in the client, the new Dell disk size resulted under measurement devices. Click on "increase...". ", generates the following error which led me on the way to the CLI method:

    Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryAvailableDisksForVmfs" to object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '[myservername]' failed.

    I will paste my notes that I took everything by jobs. Things have exploded the rails when I put 4 partition size to the largest size. Any help, please?

    This has been done. The new size of the virtual disk is 2791,88 GB (TB 2,79188)


    2. open a console to the ESXi host.

    a. the device for Datastore1 ID is: naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a

    b. the number of Partition on the disk is: 4 ' [...]: 4 "»

    We want to resize partition 4. I don't really understand the last part of this sentence, however. Read more.


    7 the number of sector end you want for the target data store VMFS partitions. To use all out at the end of the disc space, remove 1 of the size of the disk in the areas as described in step 5 in order to get the last usable area.

    ESXi 5.x has a command to do this:

    ~ # partedUtil getUsableSectors "/ vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a".

    This means that we want 4 Partition of "naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a" to be:

    13711360 - 5854986239 (i.e. the end of the disc)


    8 resize the partition containing the target VMFS Datastore using the command partedUtil, specifying the original existing partition and the desired end sector:

    Using the above information, our command is:

    resize # partedUtil ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a ' 4 13711360 5854986239


    9 step 8, the partedUtil command can report the warning:

    He did not. Displacement.


    10. the tables of partitions have been adjusted, but the VMFS data within the partition store is always the same size. Now there is an empty space in the partition where the VMFS data store can be grown.


    11 launch this v vmkfstools command to perform a refresh for VMFS volumes.

    Fact.


    12 reach the VMFS Datastore in the new space using the command - growfs vmkfstools, specifying the partition containing the VMFS Datastore target twice.

    vmkfstools - growfs ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a:4 ' ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a:4 '.


    It did not work. I got an error:

    / vmfs/volumes # vmkfstools - growfs ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a:4 ' /vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d «»

    Also the partition was very different to what I asked:

    4 13711360 1560018942 251 0


    I fixed it by running these commands:

    ~ # partedUtil resize ' / vmfs/devices/disks/naa.6c81f660ef0d23001ad809071096d28a ' 4 13711360 3865468766

    Update:

    Since it was such a new machine, not in active production, we have safeguarded the VMs management off the ESXi host. Then flattened the virtual disk, recreated, and then created a store of data with the right size. (TPG this time, naturally.) We put the management of virtual machines on the data store. For Windows virtual machines, we have restored the using AppAssure. Everything is ok now.

    Need to add a new item to the list of punch: check what Dell has done the configuration of the virtual disks. :-)
