Problem with ESXi 4.0 with Allocation of disk on a virtual computer

Hello Experts

Physical server:

HP DL 380 2 proc Intel Xeon 4 GB RAM

6 x 146 GB HDD (with RAID5) = > total available capacity 650 GB

Problem:

I am creating a VM with OS = DEBIAN6

When I allocate 300 GB HARD drive for the virtual machine, it gives me just 256GB.

I don't understand the reason.

I read that this could be linked to the BLOCK SIZE.

What is your opinion? If so, how can I change the block size?

Thanks in advance

Options of your choice after.

Block size of 1 MB = Max VMDK 256 GB

2MB block size = Max VMDK 512 GB

4MB block size = Max VMDK 1024 GB

Block size of 8MB = Max VMDK 2048 GB

First calculation of disk space when set up 2 MB to 512 GB.

  • Problem with allocating memory collection arraycollection by AddItem

    I don't want duplicated instances, but I want independent authorities.

    I tried to change addItem with

    This._pages.addItemAt (page, 0);

    Same result.

    I also tried pagina = null before the statement new but same result

    ------

    for (var u: int = 0; u < 41; u ++) {}
    Page = new PageToSave();
    project.addPage (page as PageToSave);

    Page = null;

    Thank you

    Hello

    From the looks of it, looks like a bug.

    Are you defining filters or performs a sort on the ArrayCollection collection? Or it's just a pure naked collection instance ArrayCollection.

    Have you tried addItemAt() and got the same result?

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

    Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

    Hi all!

    I have problems with my Satellite 1800 750 therefore than the hard drive not to be recognized. Means I can start from floppy disk or CD-ROM, but not hard drive. I create in the hard drive to another laptop and it works well. In the BIOS, I see two (HD and CDROM) IDE devices. From pure DOS diskette and try running fdisk also does not show me the HD.
    What can be? It is a total mistake on card mother IDE #1 have a defect or is it a BIOS problem? Or something else?

    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    Kind regards
    Werner

    Hi Werner,.

    He cannn be your IDE controller has a loose contact.

    But in a first time, you must set the BIOS to the factory settings. Press ESC key after power! Then you have a short list of commands at the bottom of the screen!

  • M1V66UA: problem with recovery media disk drive

    my laptop is HP envy x 360 bought around December 2015(it is still guaranteed).

    Today, I had a problem with my laptop (inaccessible boot device error) and a HPteam even could not able to solve it and told me that the recovery order media disk.

    the problem is:

    I bought the laptop in the United States when I was a customer place and now I am in India .

    HP India has informed me that they will not consider my request for recovery media order disk since I bought the laptop outside the India and told me to contact them.

    My question is

    How can I order the disc of recovery in India?

    Hello

    First of all, you can download microsoft iso and burn it to DVD or USB without needing a key, so do a good job of it for future use.

    If you have a real Windows 10 installation the system map is saved as your key with microsoft, so you do not need a new.

    Once you have fixed starting problems, MAKE YOUR OWN RECOVERY MEDIA IMMEDIATELY.

    Jelly Beanstalk will find your product key for future use, but it is locked to the system board.

    Piriform Speccy and Belarc Advisor will also add your serial number for a knowledge need.

    If in doubt please ask.
