New hard disc RDM - selection of the mapping of rdm file creation

Hi all

I am trying to automate the creation of new RDM disks for virtual machines.

Watch us row map separately files on a data store named, here is the sequence of orders.

1. because I can't find the PoweCLI method to create the mapping of RDM file, I use vmkfs as below:

vmkfstools - z/vfms/devices/disks/naa. XXXX01 /vmfs/volumes/clustername/SharedDisk/hostname/disk1.vmdk

2. now, we have the mapping of rdm file, I would like to create a new physical disk RDM.

New-harddisk - Contorller $controller DiskType - RawPhysical - DeviceName ' / vfms, devices, disks, naa.» XXXX01"- vm $vm

However, this creates a new mapping file. I don't see how I can use the one I created above.

Am I missing something? The operation of fixing using the existing mapping of RDM file is insignificant in the GUI.

No, not missing anything.

This scenario is not possible with the cmdlet New-hard drive I'm afraid.

You can use a script that uses the ReconfigVM method.

Through the Device.Backing property, you can specify the location of the VMDK file

  • My hard drive is dying. If I bought a new hard drive, I could use the discs of recovery of re - install Windows 7?

    My hard drive on my HPG61 is dying (I already had an option of nine sales under warranty) if I bought a new hard drive and installed it myself the original recovery disks would put windows 7 on a new?

    Hi joeB47,

    "original recovery disks.

    If you are referring to records of recovery of the manufacturer that came with your computer or the recovery discs that you made from the recovery Partition, YES they can be used to reinstall Windows 7 on your new hard drive.

    This is what they are desigened to do.

  • Move the Windows Backup system image and backup to a new hard disc

    Hi all

    I got a new external hard drive because my old external hard drive was not large enough to hold all my backups.  Now, I would like to move the backup from the old hard drive to the new hard drive.  It is really easy to start from scratch on the new drive, but about two months ago of backup history on the old disk I want to keep if I can.  Also, I can't figure this out on my own because it seems that the backups are stored in hidden or system files, or which are prohibited and require special authentication.

    Can someone help me find the location of the backups on my old hard drive?  Or is there something I should do in Windows that will transfer the data for me?

    Thank you very much!

    Kevin

    The name of the folder that store all backups of your image is: X:\WindowsImageBackup\

    Where X: is the drive letter of the external drive.

    If you also created backups of files and folders these are also easily spotted. If for some reason you can't locate/view this file enable "Show hidden folders and files" in Windows Explorer.

  • How do I restore the hard ESXi RDM file?

    Hi all, I have created a file hard RDM using vmkfstools - z and boarded one of the virtual machines. However, I have deleted the virtual machine of the drive and re - create a new virtual machine in esxi.

    When I tried to recreate RDM hard, it shows an error:

    vmkfstools - z/vmfs/devices/disks/t10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200______1234ABCD "/ vmfs/volumes/HARDDISK/VM/1234ABCD.vmdk"

    Unable to create the virtual disk: the system cannot find the specified file (25).

    I noticed there are additional files (: 1,: 2 and: 3) who were not exist when I created first the hard

    T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD

    T10. 1234ABCDATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___: 1

    T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD: 2

    T10. ATA___TOSHIBA_DT01ACA200___1234ABCD: 3

    So, does anyone know how to recreate for RDM hard to mount on my new virtual machine without losing any data?

    Thank you.

    Welcome to the community,

    Take a look at e.g. RDMs SATA drives create how to create the RDM. Also make sure that the destination folder (in which you create the map file) already exists.

    The additional "files" that you see in the output of the command ls are partitions on this disk, which were probably created while the ROW was mounted on the virtual machine.

  • Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS

    Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings.  Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced.  I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.

    Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere?  I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.

    It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:

    Hello

    First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    ***************************************************

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.

    1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

    Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

    Have you checked the memory modules?
    These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

  • P87-1414: duplicate manufacture a new hard disc on a hard drive.

    Thank you very much.

    WND

    You are welcome.

    I need to apologize.  I went to the Samsung website, only to find that they no longer have more HDD 1 TB.  Therefore, I had to find another brand that has been at a reasonable price.  Normally, I buy WD HDD and Samsung SSD.  This is a Western Digital HARD drive , which should be good.  Also, here's the installation guide which includes a FREE copy of the Software from Acronis True Image WD Addition.  I is one of the better programs cloning.  My combined search of better performance and reliability with the right price.  The one in the link, this is what I found.

    The procedure I described in my last post should work with Acronis.

  • can not get the new hard drive to work in the Pavilion ze4805us laptop

    have an HP pavilion ze4805us laptop which had a total hard drive failure... recovery disks were lost in a fire... replaced the hard drive with a Western Digital 250 GB drive... computer recognizes the drive, but with only 137 GB... impossible to obtain the Windows Millennium disk to install... I have it get the PXE - E61 error code... have looked for answers and tried a few suggestions to fix the error code, but no luck so far... would like to throw this laptop and runs again, it was so nice all in operation. Can someone help me with this? Thanks to all in advance... rrcar6

    At the level of the BIOS, HARD drive should show the full capacity regardless of the distribution, but it will be limited based on what the current logical block installed the BIOS supports.  For example, the 250 GB HDD Needs LBA 48 bit to be recognized by the BIOS in its entirety.  Western Digital only provides downloads of software and support going back to Windows XP.  Windows Millennium Edition is not able to recognize the full capacity of the drive.  Finding drivers compatible with Windows ME is perhaps another challenge that XP uses a different architecture than Windows ME done.

    It seems that this laptop is the same time that the books mentioned in this thread.  Response from JackShack gives the best explanation as to why he shows quite different in the BIOS.  It has been many years, but I do not remember that the capacity of the HARD disk had exceeded what the BIOS at the time supported resulting in the 137 GB limit displayed in the BIOS.  This section of Western Digital shows that this problem is related to the operating system or BIOS supporting however, this should not prevent Windows to install correctly.

    I'm sure it's already done, as it was not a new BIOS since 2004, but guarantee the newest BIOS is installed.  Logical block address 48 bits, necessary for the larger disks (larger for the time) was released in 2003.  The 2004 related BIOS earlier than probably took supported LBA.  What is the current version of BIOS?

    What is the exact message that you get when you try to install Windows Millennium Edition?

  • I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5349. I just put in a new hard drive and I bought the Acer recovery

    I put the system disk in my cd drive, but it does not start. I looked in my bios and I see my cd listed and I chose it to start up. Does anyone have the answers. I worked on this for 2 days and I am at my wits end at this point. I even recorded files from the drive to a flash drive, but that doesn't work anymore. Help.

    [edited for clarity]

    You can check if the new HARD drive is listed on BIOS SATA devices?

    Press F2 at startup.

    I don't think that the size will be a problem but you need to check if the HARD disk is read by the BIOS.

  • New hard disk identified but causes the error "no boot device found".

    Hello

    Recently my computer (Inspiron 15 3521) had hard drive failures, so I ran a diagnosis which resulted in replace me the hard drive. I thought I would upgrade the old 500 GB for a hard drive of tuberculosis.

    Now, when I install the new hard drive, that it translates "found no boot device" I ran diagnostics on it and checked everything, and it recognizes the hard disk. Diagnosis is nothing but the problem persists. Any help would be great!

    The fundamental question: you have installed Windows on the drive?  New disks arrive Virgin - you'll need the support of recovery do you when you have received the system to install the operating system on the disk.

    How can I get out of this confusion?

    Looks like your scene preclone directory is not correct (corrupted), and I think that it is because preclone does not run successfully.

    Either you follow the steps described in the following notes to change the existing to a new undo tablespace or run preclone and copy the files again.

  • Mini can 200-4200, new HARD drive, I set up the Mini with recovery system?

    Hello

    I'm not too much into computers, sorry if my question is stupid.

    I have 200 mini-4200sa, under the guarantee. Hard drive failure, I get a new sent. PROBLEM - I'm at the Nicaragua, and HARD drive is sent to my friend in the United Kingdom who has to post it for me (as explained by HP UK guys by phone). In fact, it's on the way. Now, he has received another package... a week later... it's the memory stick with the recovery system... dear-oh-dear... Must send this too, or adjustable computer up without it?

    Thank you

    Mayor

    Unless you have previously created a set of HP recovery discs and have access to an external USB CD/DVD drive or if you have previously saved the recovery Image on a USB Flash drive, you will need to send him to you this memory stick with the Image of HP recovery on this subject.

    Please send Bravo
