No unit number available logic trying to increase the size of the data store

I am trying to increase the size of my data store.

When you look at the properties of the data store I can see that the current capacity is 738,29 GB and the local device has a capacity of 2.73 TB.

(see image 1)

However, when I click the button increase, there is no LUNS to select.  (this is the case even when you try to add a new data store).

(see image 2)

What I am doing wrong?

I'm afraid that there is nothing that you can do without having to reconfigure the storage as long as you use vSphere 4.x. because of the overflow I mentioned earlier (see the KB article) ESXi is only able to use 2.73 TB modulo 2 TB-online ~0.73TB.

Anything that you can do to use currently unused disk space is to reformat, either by dividing the current RAID volume (I guess it's a RAID!) in several logical volumes with less than 2 TB or reinstall the host - if taking in charge - with ESXi 5.x.

  • Increase the data store w / measure

    Hi all -

    It seems that there is no way to add a point to a data store w / PowerCLI.  I found this one do w / API using ExtendVmfsDatastore, and I know that the API can be exposed in PowerCLI.  The problem is, I don't know how to do it!

    Can anyone share an example showing how to add a LUN iSCSI as a measure to an existing data store?

    Thank you in advance!

  • I am trying to increase the size of a window.

    I am trying to increase the size of a window, when I click on a link.  Each time, I have to stretch the window in both directions, to read, which is very tedious.  Older versions of Windows allowed you to set the size.  I'm going berserk, trying to find the correct option.

    For Windows Explorer...
    Stretch the window as you did > close window > re - open the same window.
    It should open exactly the same size as you closed.

  • 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?

    I use that as a guide:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 2002461


    1 use start hardware device management tools to increase the capacity of additional disk to the device. For more information, commit your hardware provider.

    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.

    Pretty simple.


    3. get the DeviceID for the data store to change.

    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.

    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:

    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.

    It did not work. I got an error:

    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. :-)

    MiniTool is not recommended because it causes problems and can lead to data loss.

    You have to go at least once through Java programming practices.

  • How to develop a player for the virtual server when no more space is available on the data store?

    Hello

    I have a 'vSphere4.1 - Intel"cluster with lots of available data stores.

    In this group, I have a virtual server "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2" with 7 discs, all with the ' base' type in the server disk management. ""

    One of the drives needs to be expanded, but in my VMware environment, I noticed that the data with the reader store, cannot be stretched beyond, so I need to take the free space of hard drive to another store of data with free space desired.

    Now to my question:

    Can I make a new record in my VMware environment on another data store and fix it on my Windows 2003 Server? - And if so, how do I add the new free space on the server specific hard drive?

    Kind regards

    Carl-Marius

    1. close the virtual machine in question

    2 remove the HARD disk that you want to extend

    3. in another data store make folder and move the VM HDD (vmdk) in this folder

    4. now change the settings on the virtual machine, add need HDD now this time, select "use the hard disk" option and point to the VMDK file in the other data store

    5 - turn on the virtual machine, check that every thing is okm if ok you can do the HARD disk as dynamic disk is easy to expand

    6. now incerase the VMDK from vsphere client,.

    7 now, with the help of utilities such as partition magic or acronis or utility, you can extend the player

  • Increase the volume for the data store

    Hello

    Someone recognizes this problem?

    When you try to increase a volume of data store in vSphere4 we get the following message: "error during the configuration of the host. Failed to get the disk partition information.

    We use a MSA2324 of HP storage as a storage (data store) to our servers of vSphere. I increased the volume of the utility interface HP Storage manager 1.5 TB to 2.2 TB. So far so good. But when I try to increase the datastore in vSphere, this error message occurs.

    I've done this before, but now it doesn't seem to work. We have 25 active servers attached to this data store. I REALLY want to increase this volume online. It will probably work if I stop all virtual servers, restart the server VSphere and then increase the volume.

    Concerning

    Magnus

    Maximum supported LUN size is 2 TB minus 512 b.
