Physical disk how can I add in the Virtual Machine?

I am trying to set up a network of storage, but I discovered it is there is a limitation for the addition of physical hard disks in the virtual machine.

I have 1 virtual hard disk for the operating system (SCSI), an invited so I try to add more than 4 disks, but it should not add more than 3. They showed that (IIRC).

I try to add 4 x 1 TB as physical hard disk in virtual machine hard disks, but it says that I must remove one to add.

1. in the settings of the Virtual Machine, is there a difference between (SCSI) (IDE) and why are the physical disks (IDE)?

2. What is the limitation of total hard drives under the VM settings, four?

Johwwy

physical disks can be detected such as IDE or SCSI - depends on the drivers used by the host

SATA in ide-compat mode is used as IDE

SATA AHCI mode is detected as SCSI

It is possible to rewrite the descriptions after their creation.

It is a little advanced - see my notes

http://sanbarrow.com/VMDK-basics.html#changeadapter

for a start, it may be necessary to also change the geometry... ask first so uncertain.

I think the limit of physical disks that can be attached to a virtual machine is 64 = 4 x 15 - scsi and IDE 4-disc drives

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    in the ESXi console, run esxtop... you see the functioning of the virtual machine?

    If this isn't the case, you can restart management agents in the ESXi and you will be able to turn on the virtual machine again.

  • How can I add to the selection of the choices of fonts to write an e-mail message.

    The fonts that I have on my computer do not appear in the drop down of available fonts. How can I add the missing fonts?

    Be aware that the e-mail recipients can see the fonts that are installed on their own computers. If you try to use fonts arcane, exotic or non-traditional there are chances that your correspondents will not have them, so use them in your messages are probably unnecessary.

    Can you name all the missing fonts?

  • How can I mutual folder "discovered virtual machines.

    I use c# api.

    When I get all records in a data center, I get the host, the vm and the discovery of the virtual machines folder.

    When you request the property of hostFolder - you download the file from the host. It goes the same for vmFolder.

    How to identify the folder "discovered virtual machines? What size should I look to find this file specifically?

    I don't want to find all the files and compare names, because files can be renamed.

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

    idanmnr

    Iamw is right.  The vmFolder will contain the "discovered virtual machines" folder, you would just do a search from there.

    What becomes tricky is that it is possible that someone is offering this particular folder in another folder, so probably have to walk down the tree of vmFolder until you find the open folder VM.  If for a simple case, you can assume it will be one of the childEntity of vmFolder objects.

    In addition, this file can be renamed as well.  I don't think that this is a special folder in inventory of VI, comes out just for a default folder that is created for use.  But maybe someone else can provide more details on that.

  • How can I connect to a virtual machine that uses a NAT map from outside via RDP

    Hi, I'm under workstation 7.11. I have a windows xp virtual machines all use adapter NAT of VMware Workstation for connectivity. I am only able to connect to the VMs with RDP client via the host. If I try to anywhere else, I am unable to connect.

    You can use linked by a bridge instead of NAT?  If this isn't the case, you need to enable Port Forwarding on the VMnet in the virtual network Editor.  FWIW, if you do not enable Port Forwarding I recommend setting up on a VMnet custom as VMnet2 example and assign the NIC of the virtual machine.  This keep the default VMnet8 for an unaltered NAT network.

    Default port for RDP is TCP 3389

    I sympathize with your feeling about MS EXCEL, but ultimately, LiveCycle (and the complex needs of coding) are the only way to provide solutions that cannot be ruined by other people.

    I always struggle with 'for' loops - they are not nearly as intuitive that 'if, else' built BUT mastering all the two of these buildings gives you 95% of the functionality you could out EXCEL.

    Articles/examples of BRINKMAN (google page break) and NIALL (google ensure dynamic) helped a lot to improve my command of LiveCycle Designer.

  • How can I create a simple virtual machine with the CD in a newWorkflow

    I created a new workflow with simple virtual machine and added a cdrom workflow but an error is shown.

    How can I reuse of so that the new created VM add a new cdrom in a workflow

    Captura.PNG

    Help me please

    First of all, you only need a single attribute of type VC:VirtualMachine, not two as in the screenshot. You don't need to specify its value; When the first workflow completes, its output should be attributed to this attribute, and then the assigned value must be passed as input to the second workflow.

    To check/edit links, open the first workflow to change, go to the 'Visual links' tab and make sure the workflow output is line connected to the attribute. Do the same for the second workflow, and then make sure that the attribute is connected to the line to the corresponding input parameter.

    Take a look at the workflow attached if you don't know how the maps should look like.

  • can I add additional VMDK virtual machine that is already protected with vSphere 5.1 replication?

    Hello

    We're uaing SRM 5.1 to protect a virtual computer by using the replication of vSphere. now, we want to increase the size of one of the vmdk dirve. can we increase the size of the disk? and if we don't, then, can we add an another VMDK to this virtual machine?

    What is the procedure to protect that additional newly added VMDK?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Please see the following topics in vSphere replication 5.1 documentation (replication reconfiguration).

    Yes, you can add an another VMDK to a replicated VM. Replication goes into an error state, and you must reconfigure replication and include the newly added to replicate disk.

  • Wrong message 'VMware Tools can be updated' for the virtual machine within ESXi 4.1

    These VMware tools in my guest operating system keep on the list "VMware Tools can be updated" and the yellow exclamation point.

    Host operating system is ESXi 4.1.0 build 348481

    VMware Tools version is 8.4.8 build 491717

    It is not on the files with the extension.001 as described in the following article

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2001382

    I checked and there is no file with this extension.

    I think that VMware tools is unable to read or to compare the correct numbers.  Or is there another reason?

    Reply to my own post:

    The answer, in fact the procedure, is inside this article:

    https://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-31365

    For some reason VMware Tools is not installed correctly (for example files from previous versions are left inside the hard disk).  So I have to do a manual cleaning before you reinstall the tools.

    60 is the maximum: 4 * 15 devices SCSI

  • How can I add reload the current Page in the toolbar Firefox 9?

    Once I have use customize toolbar, reload the current Page is not an option. I got this feature in previous versions of Firefox, and on another computer where Firefox has been updated to 9 the rest feature but I can't understand how to add to this new computer.

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is placed at the right end of the address bar.

    During the process of loading page it shows as a stop button and once the charging button is replaced by a reload button.

    If you type in the address bar this button would then become a button go.

    Click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab in a new tab.
