Problems with the drive shrink and instant

Hello

I have a problem with shrink disc. I have a virtual machine with the five disc (all thin). In the tab of the vmware tools shrink the message that 'shrink is disabled for this machine. I checked the article in the link:
http://www.VMware.com/support/WS5/doc/ws_disk_shrink.html
and I think that all the conditions are correct for a fret on this virtual machine:
1. the disc are a provisioning. I used vmkfstool to convert it to thin.
2. the virtual machine has no snapshots.
3. the virtual machine does not have the physical disks.
4. I test with independent labels in persistent mode and no independent record. None of this works.
5. the virtual disk is stored in a logical unit number.

I would like to know what I should do to shrink disc. I have another question. The machine has five disks, each of them in a provisioning.  A disc is the maximum size, 2 TB. If I try to make a snapshot, you receive an error that the file size in the destination disk. The working directory of the virtual machine is in a store of data with 200 GB of free space. I would like to know if I need to store data from 2 TB to make the snapshot or just need to the fret to 2 TB - 16 GB (the overload limit comments in the article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1012384( )

So, really I need a store of data with 2 TB of free space?

It is not the free space on the disk that prevents you from taking a snapshot, it's the maximum possible size of the snapshot Delta. As this file, which contains data and metadata - could reach a size unsupported, VMware does not able to create such a file. If you want to be able to take pictures, the maximum size of the virtual disc service is 2 to less 16 GB (maximum size of metadata in the snapshot file) as mentioned in the article.

  • Problem with the driver... Realtek PCIe Fe Family Controller

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5983 and I have a problem with the driver for Realtek PCIe Fe Family Controller. What should I do? Thanks for your help.

    The program Driver Genius Professional are "junk" and must be avoided in most of the costs!   They will cause more problems than they find only the first available driver.  Most computer manufacturer can usually have 'rights' to customize pilots 'reference' for their offers of specific material.

    If your Toshiba has been sold with Windows 7 "pre-installed" then Toshiba is "obliged" to ensure the correct drivers.  You should check with the website of Toshiba and the hardware specifications of your model.  Then you should be able to download the necessary drivers directly from Toshiba.

  • There is a problem with the driver for a wireless adapter that if it is not compatible or not supported

    My grandmother came to visit me in Belgium and brought her laptop with her. It is Windows 7 and I bought in Ukraine. Thus, she cannot use wireless internet at my place. Troubleshooting scan says there is a problem with the driver for a wireless adapter that is it is not compatible or not supported, something like that. All sound systems are in Russian is not easy for me to explain it. Is it possible to fix this problem or she can't use her laptop to go on the net at all? Thank you!

    If it's a driver fault, can go you on another pc to work to manufacturers support web site for the 'Ukraine' pc and see if the wireless drivers are available there. If they are, download the latest compatible drivers for your pc and transfer them to it by a stick of memory from SD or USB and then install them.

    This may be due to a setting of your network security wireless, for example, that is your network is set to WPA2 but pc does not support. Check configurations for compatibility with your router wireless sound.

    See if anything here help - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/setting-wireless-network#1TC=windows-7

    At worst, is it not possible to connect via a cable to your router, esp, if is only a visit to sound.

  • Equium L10: Problem with the main battery and battery RTC

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Equium L10 and it is about 14 months old and I have problems with the battery and how much time it takes after a full charge. I also have problems with the RTC battery and an ERROR 0271: check date and time settings message when I turn on the laptop.

    Regarding the battery, I can fully charge it upward in about 3 hours, but when I start to use it, apparently in the last few hours around one and a half or so and then it needs to be recharged. I can have down for about 40 minutes and then turn it off and come back later or in a day or two. How long should I expect from a fully charged battery?

    About the batttery RTC, it really becomes a pain and I only started to get the message of the ERROR 0271 start-up, in recent weeks. I can charge the battery pack and then leave for a few days, but when I turn it on, I get the message ERROR 0271 on the date and time incorrect. Surely after a full charge, the RTC battery should last longer than a few days?

    The manual says that if the RTC battery is exhausted or becomes weak, you must charge the battery of the CCF for 24 hours, in a different part of this manual indicates between 24 and 48 hours, but how can load you for long when the sections concerning the charging battery pack status after charging the battery you unplug the power adapter because leaving connected will shorten the life expectancy of the Battery Pack. So, how we can charge the battery of the CCF for 24 to 48 hours if we shouldn't leave the AC adapter plugged in once the battery is charged - which is nearly three hours. Suggestions about these problems would be appreciated.

    Besides we all know that it is easy to change the CMOS/RTC battery in your desktop base unit, but is it easy to change in a Toshiba Equium L10?

    Concerning

    Brave0

    Hi Brave0,

    The normal recommendation for the CMOS (RTC) battery is to leave the laptop connected to the power supply at least 12 hours when the main battery is fully charged. The charging circuit is going to hijack the current to the load automatically RTC battery and no current will be forwarded to your main battery.

    Recommendation do not leave the power adapter is plugged in the main battery is fully charged is really only applicable to older laptops that used no batteries Li - ion and therefore they had to be completely discharged before recharging to avoid any effect 'memory' of the battery.

    With modern Li-ion batteries, it is quite safe to leave the battery when fully charged and still power the laptop from the AC adapter. The charging circuit will pass all the battery charge if it is fully charged.

    Kind regards

  • problem with the Finder - files and folders displaying incorrectly

    After acquiring a new iMac, I noticed a problem with the Finder - files and folders are displayed wrong (see table).

    This is what happens always after the files have been transferred from one folder to another. I was reminded of my days of using Mac OS in the 1980s when automatic setting of files was not so "automatic." I use Mac OS for decades and I don't remember the last time I had to think about GUI problems like that.

    Other problems in the graphical display of files and folders were introduced, such as when you have hundreds of files in a single folder, you end up deleting about 30 to 40 of them say in a particular section, and you end up with gaps of the ChartSpace where files used to be, that is the remaining files automatically rearrange themselves (fill in these gaps) - never. A week later, you open the folder, and the gap of GUI is still there.

    I decided to do a clean install of the operating system but nothing works.

    Is there some setting in Prefs I'm missing?

    Hi there highland99,

    Looks like your folder icons are not accommodating themselves automatically you plan to do. To me, this indicates that you have organize by the None value in the view menu. You can change the way files and folders are prepared automatically by clicking on view > reorganize by and selecting how you would like that fixed.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

    I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

    I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

    It should do.  You use one of the buttons of pen maybe?  Just touching wheels with the pen with no buttons or modifier keys.  Press ENTER to close the selection.

    Personally I never use the lasso, Polygonal, but rather just the Lasso tool by using the ALT (Opt) to operate the Polygonal tool.  I also use the mouse instead of the Tablet for the selection of cutting edge.  It is a little too uncertain where the point will go when hovering the stylus above the image.
