Problem adding a second drive to VM after P2V using Stand Alone inverter

Hello

Let me preface this with anguish and you say how much of a hassle it has been from the beginning.

We owe to P2V a server having a 25gig main drive and a 8gig of secondary disk for data. We had to move the files a long distance with the help of FTP, so offers them to us in some regions, by ensuring that all files have reached their proper destination.

We have the files downloaded in the SAN and much to my surprise, the second disc of data showed as a *-flat.vmdk file without header hard file. I opened the browser and the virtual machine added to the inventory, but couldn't turn on with the second disc attached. I removed the second disk of the virtual machine and it has started well. But now I have a car I can access.

I would like to convert the *-file flat.vmdk to work hard file but I'm not sure how with my limited resources. I don't have the vSphere client to work with. I downloaded the RCLI for vSphere but I have to be honest, I'm not very good with scripts.

I tried following this tutorial: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002511

But the notes are asking me to use the console, which I do not have access with 4 ESXi and vSphere Client.

Attached is the original .vmx file that was created during the P2V

You will also find a screeshot of the files I work with that

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the communities.

You can run through to revive the P2V conversion and just select the second drive. It's probably the easiest get right.

You can access the console on ESXi using the Mode of Tech Support

  • Satellite P300-16 t - adding a second drive HARD-success!

    I have added a second hard drive today for my Toshiba P300-16 t.

    I realized that I had a Toshiba SATA drive in a USB disk device that would spare - 250 gb.

    I improvised by removing the feet spread on the cover of the second cage to hard disk using a sharp knife. I put the Bank in place ensuring maximum safety. I also used a heat-resistant material (say what) to secure the drive up as readers are rarer than hen's teeth. I made sure that the reader also had room to breathe. The cover was then released and I turned on my computer and it found the new HDD, the installed drivers at home but hey presto! Another 250 GB to play with.

    Now, I did it is because I call four FSA in the United Kingdom but they weren't any help by providing a cage for the second disc.
    Two said they only deal with businesses and not individuals.
    Others have said that they only provide power cables and batteries!
    Hope that my Tosh never goes down and I must use their services...

    Anyway, I don't recommend anyone do what I just - it is possible if you are a bit adventurous...

    Have you used the Hotglue?

  • HP Envy TouchSmart, m7 j-000dx: adding a second drive

    I want to add a second drive of my laptop HP Envy TouchSmart (17.3 ") since I was a lot of data on my current SSD.

    My question is that the computer will support the SSD and SSHD readers?

    Are there restrictions on the size of the disk (to 1, 2-4).

    I had my HP Envy since 7/2013 and am currently using Windows 10 (64-bit).   I've updated RAM 16 MB (max for this phone).  The material is otherwise original.

    It has been frustrating to look for information, if I can do it at all and, if so, what can I use for this second disc.  Thank you.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    The laptop is essentially identical to the series of 17 t-j000xx want so that they share a textbook. I used to own a model 17 t - j029nr that would be about the same as yours. The laptop has 2 size hard disk bays 2.5 inches and there is a slot on the motherboard for a reader to the WSSD mSATA.

    I bought one of these and used to install a second hard drive in mine. It may be a mechanical drive an SSHD or a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. It can be of 7 mm or 9.5 mm thick and is limited in size only by what you can find on the market. I think that 2 TB is still the larger disk of 2.5 inch 9.5 mm there.

    The only complication is going to be if you do not have an mSATA 32 gig drive in the computer as it should be removed if you are running an SSD. Looks like you don't have a disc mSATA.

  • Adding a second drive to my Optiplex 755

    I bought an Optiplex 755 renovated a few months back that came with a floppy (really?). I decided to add a second drive, so I removed the disk and put a Seagate 750 GB drive in its place. I entered the program installation and active the drive, rebooted, went back into the Setup program to verify that the disc was recognized that it was. BUT now, whenever I restart the machine, I have the black screen with the following text:

    Replacing the HARD drive is not valid, continued use can lead to long-term reliability problems HDD please press that F1 in you want to continue.

    It also gives me the choice to press F1 to continue, F2 to enter setup or on F5 to run tests.

    I press F1 and it starts normally.

    My question is how or what I do to eliminate this black screen? Because if I restart and let the system is here and waiting forever.

    Thanks for your help.

    The DT, SFF, USFF systems REQUIRE specific Western Digital or SAMSUNG drive model. Replacing the HARD drive is not valid is specific to 745 and 755 SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT systems.

    The DT, SFF, USFF models will have a thermal message.  The model of the Tower does not care the drive Type.  This is due to "thermal considerations.

    Desktop Dell 755 is configured to reject anything but a hard drive Western Digital or Samsung, claiming that it is due to "thermal considerations.  This is for Desktop and SFF and ULTRA-COMPACT models.

    We found a solution to the problem yourself.

    Our solution:

    On each page that uses the activity to call a workflow in the bindings, we added the executor of the ADF task flows Bindings type - taskFlow.

    Hello

    I started to implement VMware in my company.

    I installed standard Vspahere 5 withouth any problem and made all configurations.

    For the moment I want to convert the physical server, the virtual machine and for this I have download VMware-converter stand alone.

    I fist he installed on a Windows 2008 server that I want to convert.

    The conversion was adopted without any error message but in the end the virtual machine cannot start normally.

    I have a blue screen with thos messages:

    "Launch Startup Repair tool" or "start windows normally".

    I converted to the other servers, but I don't know how to proceed with this error message.

    Please could someone help?

    Thank you

    Above all this happen, after the virtual machine is converted the selected SCSI adapter would be logical bus, because of which the VM throw a blue error screen.

    change the logic of the bus at LSI logic (windows 2 k 3, 2 k 8, vista)

  • Adding a second drive to a dv7-2180us

    I recently bought a new dv7-2180us to replace my older zv5000 of 5 years who has been/is having supply problems. I want to take the drive of the zv5000 and place as a 2nd hard drive in the new laptop (mainly because I don't want to have to fight to keep the old lit long enough to transfer files). Is it possible to do so, and if so do I need something more to mount the drive.

    Thanks for any help.

    Sabrina

    Not exactly. The drive is not compatible with the equipment of the new HP. (IDE connector old to a more recent IDE to Sata connector.)

    You could get an external enclosure and get this support, or you could get a cable adapter, like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156015

    I recommend the latter, myself. I have one and it works fantastic for information on older hard drives. It does not have technical knowledge to use, but I think you could probably understand.

  • Problems adding a hard drive to a Windows 2003 client

    I am trying to add a hard drive to a guest VM on a host running ESXi 4.1.0 standard. It is a historical system that we must keep and maintain for another 1 & 1/2 years. There are 15 comments on this host.  The local database has 1.63 TB of storage with 868,85 Go free. All comments thick supply usage.

    The prompt, I work with is a Windows 2003 R2, 32-bit, Service Pack 2, Standard Edition.  Currently, I have two drives C: = 80 GB, & E: = 20 GB. I am trying to add a third hard drive of 300 GB.  When I try to add the 300 GB drive, I get the following error message. "Disk capacity was not properly formatted or was out of reach.  It has been replaced by the nearest acceptable value. " Value, it is replaced by what is 256 GB.

    I used the same Windows operating system to create three other similar servers with the largest hard drive = 100 GB C:, E: = 100 GB, & F: = 1.5 to.  Microsoft's web site, said that this operating system can handle 2 TB of storage.  The only difference with the other hosts three, that's they run vSphere 5.5.

    The size of the block of your VMFS datastore is the limiting factor, the bottom suggest that your datastore to VMFS-3 has been configured with 1 MB block size where the maximum virtual hard disk and the file size would be 256Go.

    Sorry, no, I do not use Solaris, I use Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.4. So you might found a bug in the solaris patches.

    You should ask management to check this. You have no problem to install 11.1.2.3.0 in Solaris, I assume that something is wrong.

    Yes, the web service is ideal to address things like that.

  • New HP and adding a second hard drive

    Hi TIF

    Who should not void the warranty unless you damage the hardware while making it... for not to spill a drink on your PC

  • 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.

  • Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

    Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
    The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

    The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

    Ideas for a work around?

    "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

    > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
    The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
    Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

    This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
    This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.
