PowerCLI set mode hard drive

Hello

Does anyone know how to change the mode of a specific virtual disk?

The Office I am workign on a two virtual drives and I only want to change the first disc...

If I use...

Get-hard - vm STU-NP-P1-2 disc | Whole-disk hard-persistence "IndependentNonPersistent."

the command works, but changes all the discs to "IndependentNonPersistent".

How do I get a specific record?

Thank you

Try something like this

Get-HardDisk -VM STU-NP-P1-2 | where {$_.Name -eq "Hard disk 1"} | Set-harddisk -Persistence "IndependentNonPersistent"

  • Set password hard drive and now can't unlock!

    I have a brand new T410s who has 1.34 BIOS factory installed. I used the BIOS option to set a hard drive password, choose the option 'user' (not ' user + master'). As I was just testing, I put an easy to remember the password "password". It has a Samsung SSD. However, now it does not accept "password" to unlock the drive and won't let me not in the BIOS unless I have remove the disc before feeding! Y at - it a bug with setting the drive of this new BIOS passwords? I had several Thinkpads over the years and have never seen one that...

    Hmm, thanks for the interesting reference. However, in my case, it seems that I'm the one that randomly changed my password when the keystroke! I tried some typo were variations and it unlocked with 'passwprd"instead of"password "!

  • Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

    SP1 Vista Ultimate x 64

    My external hard drive (WD Elements 500 GB) guard get the value read-only. I can go in, select all the files, right click > properties and uncheck the 'read only' box, click OK. When I open the drive once again, they are read only once more.

    I tried to go to the security settings for the player and adjusting so that everyone has the right to change the files and so on, to which I have an error message (on each file) saying that it cannot apply security information that the data are protected against writing.

    The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

    What should I do?

    In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

    Alternatively, you may have a problem of 'ownership' with the reader.

  • I have maybe 2 sets of hard drives on my pc

    Recently, I noticed that when I click on 'Computer' and my discs hard pop up, the 'Hard drive' title is followed by a 2. That is to say;  Hard drives (2). If he says that, while there must be one (1). How can I access that (1) and see what it is and what is on it?

    Recently, I've made a few changes on my computer and was administrator. I also changed the password on a user and also remove a user.
    For me, I don't have one (1) and (2) hard drives, I should have one. If I don't have two, how will this affect my disk space on my pc? Thank you very much.

    Recently, I noticed that when I click on 'Computer' and my discs hard pop up, the 'Hard drive' title is followed by a 2. That is to say;  Hard drives (2).

    Press Windows key + R on your keyboard, and then type the command diskmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Now, you will see clearly how many drives you have. It is possible that you have a SSD (Solid State Disk) for your operating system, for better performance. See your documentation of purchase!

  • PowerCLI syntax: copy-hard drive

    Hello

    I installed the latest version and tried to copy a hard drive. (I am mistaken, this hard drive copy should act as vmkfstools-i?)

    You have sombody it works? I always get:

    Hard disk copy: 22.01.2010 08:30:20 521d8bb4-ac7b-6588-94c0-095c593053d8 of hard disk copy for the entity failed with the followi

    Command:

    The folder is created...

    Just a guess: could be a problem if I do a:

    Get-hard drive | get-member translates: VMware.VimAutomation.Client20.FlatHardDiskImpl

    "and waiting for the copy: VMware.VimAutomation.Types.HardDisk.

    Get-VM | Get-HardDisk | Copy-HardDisk -DestinationPath "[ds1] Test/diskcopy" -DestinationStorageFormat Thin
    

    Is the hard drive of already thin origin perhaps?

  • Setting up HARD drive

    Hi friends,

    What would be the best configuration of HARD drive specifically for Adobe After Effects CS3

    I got:

    -1 Intel SSD X-25 extreme. (34GB)

    -1 WD VelociRaptor 10000 RPM (150 GB)

    -1 Seagate Baracuda 7200 RPM (500 GB)

    You can buy a single drive if really necessary

    For backups, I have Seagate Freeagent.

    How can I assign these discs. I mean which drive for which task?

    Thank you
    Sandy

    Use the SSD as your system drive, with the OS and applications on it.

    Use the reader of 10000 rpm for primary storage of ongoing work - project, film elements, etc. disk cache files.

    Use the disk 7200 RPM as secondary storage for ongoing work.

  • Update yoga 900-13ISK2 - BIOS for mode setting for hard drive on linux RAID install missing

    Hello

    I try to install ubuntu on my 900 yoga 16.04. The bios can see the drive hard samsung 512 GB and cannot therefore Windows.

    The ubuntu installer can't see it at all. I think it has to do with the sata in the bios mode. Unfortuneatly there is no option to change RAID AHCI or disabled. Will there be an update of the BIOS for this in the near future?

    Or is there another autour work?


  • Can Equium L40 - I change hard drive SATA to AHCI Mode?

    Hello

    Anyone know if it is possible to change the hard drive to SATA AHCI (or same IDE) mode in the BIOS?

    I see the hard drive in the BIOS but I can't select to make changes as long as it is "gray".

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS, but that made no difference.
    Thank you very much.

    I put t have this model of laptop, but usually the controller SATA in BIOS mode options are AHCI or compatibility.
    I presume that it is set to AHCI.

    Your laptop's SATA HDD so I put t understand why you want to change anything. Using the AHCI mode HARD drive can operate at full speed.

  • Set password Linux ATA hard drive / Toshiba Satellite Pro U200

    Sorry for the long post, but I want to be as specific as possible:

    1)
    I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 under Linux (OpenSUSE) for some years now. Works fine without problems so far, even the fingerprint reader works. I deleted and never used the Windows XP preinstalled.

    For security reasons, I have now decided to put a HDD ATA password, in case the laptop is lost or stolen (changed drive for a disk Seagate Momentus 7200 FDE.2 SATA II with full encryption of the disk material).

    In order to get the protection offered by the full disk encryption, I need to set a password for the ATA. During startup, the Bios must request the password and unlock the drive only when the password is correct.

    2)
    My problem is: in the Toshiba laptop it is impossible to set the hard drive ATA password directly in the bios (as is possible in HP laptops, for example). Toshiba there is only one way to set the password to disk, which is a software utility for Windows XP (named 'Assist'). But I don't want to change the operating system only to set this password.

    3)
    Therefore, I tried the linux instructions

    hdparm - user-master m - security-all-pass SecretMasterPassword/dev/sda
    hdparm - user-master u - security-all-pass SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    which are used for adjustment ATA passwords. Indeed, at first, it seems to work very well. The password is set and the drive is locked.

    4)
    When I restart the laptop, the Bios the HDD password request, as it should do.

    But he does not accept the SecretUserPassword prior to seizure. The answer is "wrong password", or similar.

    5)
    Analysis:

    I have no doubt that the password has been set correctly: I checked by restarting the laptop through rescue DVD in linux and unlock the disc via

    hdparm - user-master u - safety - unlock SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    in order to use it. No problem, it works as supposed to. After the release, the disc is usable as usual. And I can also disable the password via

    hdparm - user-master u - security - disable SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

    After you disable the password, the laptop starts normally again, but I have no password.

    When I re-enable the password bios Toshiba again asks the password during initialization, but does not accept the (correct) password on entry.

    6)
    Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?

    Bios Toshiba has somehow changes the password entered by the user, before being sent to the disk? I think that this would be inconsistent with the ATA standard.

    Anyone managed to set/change the password to ATA in a way that the disc can be unlocked via the internal order of the Bios, without installation of Windows XP and the Toshiba Software 'Assist '?

    Thanks for reading this long post so far. Any response is welcome.

    Hello

    As you probably know Linux is not supported by Toshiba and if you n t get some good advice here I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and try to discuss with experts in Linux it.

  • A few questions on password setting in BIOS HARD drive

    In the BIOS, theres a option to set passwords on hard drives

    Has anyone used this?

    How difficult is this? That you must enter a password each time you access the hard drive?

    Please explain

    If you use your laptop for private only and if there is no risk to you that someone else may have access to your data I put t recommend that you set the HARD drive password.

    It is very nice and good feature if you have sensitive data stored on your HARD drive and use your laptop in the company or take with you.

    All other information, you can pick up in the document of Toshiba.

  • How to remove the hard drive on a Portege M400-170 password?

    Hello

    I read a lot of things in this forum, in the manual, I even phoned the Toshiba support and I still have no answer to my problem.

    During the first use of the PC, I set a hard drive password. Now, I want to remove this password.
    The user manual and the forum advise to open the bios configuration, under windows, which is supposed to offer the ability to edit and delete the password. No options, no ability to edit or delete the password.

    The helpline tell me that if the configuration of the bios under windows does not have the ability to modify or delete the password, I have no way to do it (!).

    I need your knowledge and your help :)

    Thank you in advance.

  • Satellite U400 - how to remove the HARD drive password?

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U400-PSU40E. I put the HARD drive password to test this optoins in BIOS. It woks fine. After that, I remove the HDD password, but when BONES start to start the fist show me black sreen with password and when push enter Os start at startup.

    How to remove this black screen (password disk HARD is clear) before you set a password it is not this black screen?

    Hi iliyan_84,

    You only set the HARD drive password or another password too?
    Normally the HARD drive password can be removed in the BIOS. Therefore, to set a new password and don't enter all the keys. Just press the Enter key to leave the new password disk HARD vacuum box.

    Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and if it doesn't work, you must update the BIOS. You can find the latest version on the official website of Toshiba.

  • HP Pavilion 510n - adding the Second hard drive?

    A few questions...

    1. is there a size limit for any player second, I would like to add?

    2. What is the procedure for adding the second disc?

    -J' added a second drive to an OLD pc before and it involved linking the second slot on an IDE cable, change the jumper on the slave drive settings, and modify the bios settings... it would be similar?

    Hello TSobiech, it is always best to ask to order a part that is not compatible with a certain system.

    The hard disk that you show the link should work perfectly. Even if it's an ATA100, and your system supports ATA33/66, this disc should still work but will be downclocked to ATA66 speed.

    Here is another link to a 250 GB IDE HDD if you might be interested.

    You won't notice much, if any, degradation in performance to the difference in speed. These IDE drives are higher than the price a SATA with the same capacity, but they are becoming harder to find.

    Since you want to be using as operating in car system, but just a backup drive, they want to make a difference.

    If you want to make use of the full speed of ATA100, you could add a map of IDE controller supporting ATA100, but I really don't think it would.

    Since you mentioned the intermediate layer of IDE as not being used, you can connect the new drive to this connector.

    Now, there are a few things that you should check that you install the new hard drive. These are the connectors of jumper on hard drives.

    This is the very small plastic with metal inserts, at the end of the hard drive where are the other connectors.

    I always use the CSEL (CS) on two hard drives. Readers may already have jumpers to this setting (jumpers connection), but if not, you must set two hard drives the selection of cables (CS).

    Since the current IDE hard drive is the boot hard drive and an ATA66, it must be connected to thin ribbon cable connector, as it is now, and the new hard drive attached to the middle connector IDE. The slowest speed of the two hard drives will result in two hard drives running at the slower of the two speeds. It will work very well.

    You need to partition and format the new hard disk before it can be used. This can be done from Windows if necessary.

    I hope this helps.
