• Eager to thick available zero - provisioned size?

  Buongiorno a tutti!

  Premetto che sto con esxi5 e VMFS5 using all the vm hanno I brain configurati in thickness available eager to zero...

  UNA di queste ha 2 hdd configurati (uno Dadaism 40 GB e altro 1.99 CT) the to do e non riesco instant ads in quanto mi viene restituito error "file is larger than the maximum file size supported".

  Controllando he datastore vedo che solo by da disco he 1.99 CT) nella colonna size e is dimensione 0, 00 KB mentre nella colonna provisioned size leggo 2.147.484.000, 00 KB...

  ORA mi chiedo... being both brain in thickness available eager to zero, should esserci comunque colonna provisioned size? E inoltre, e questo he reason per cui non riesco instant of the ad do?

  Grazie in pre-empted a tutti!

• Is there a way to see the disk space actually used against provisioned size 3.5?

  Hi people,

  I don't know that this has probably developed.

  I need to find the amount of real disk space is used by the virtual machine rather than its set size in service.  I make this point to the direction for the upgrade to Vsphere 4 by using a provisioning.

  Y at - it a script/app that could do it quite easily.

  Kind regards

• Larger than the size of provisioned storage disk space

  I use vSphere 4.1.0. I have a Windows Server 2003 guest that I put in service for two hard disks of 80 GB and 250 GB, both thick. When I look at the settings, this is what I see. However, looking at the summary comments that it is said ' provisioned storage: 652 GB "and which seems to be what is used on the physical disk. Any ideas on what is happening here?

  As you can see on the screenshot you have 4 files of virtual disks (hard). Two of them are basic disks (those without "-000001" in their names) and the other two are instant. Given that the provisioned size is empty for basic virtual disks, presumably they are thick save provisioned and is to delete the snapshots in snapshot Manager. Just create a new snapshot (to activate the button 'Clear all') and then click on 'Delete All' which will consolidate the existing snapshots, regardless of whether or not they appear in the Snapshot Manager.

• Cannot increase the size of thin provisioned disk

  Hello

  I am currently using vSphere, and I have a server that I am trying to increase the space allocated 40 GB to 50 GB. The problem is the option to increase the provisioned size is grayed out and I can't seem to understand this.

  I already checked to see if there is a snapshot, there are none.

  I also checked that the drive is a scsi and NOT an IDE drive.

  I'm fresh out of ideas and google searches return only guides on how to do what I've done, so any help is appreciated. Attached are the parameters of the hard disk, and the Snapshot Manager shears.

  Welcome to the community,

  According to the file name of the virtual disk in the first screenshot, the virtual computer runs on an active snapshot. The Snapshot Manager can not always show all snapshots, then take a look at the data store of the virtual machine to see if there are files... - 00000 x hard (snapshot).

  To get rid of the snapshots, create a new snapshot and run "Delete All" since the Snapshot Manager to commit all the snapshots on the basic disk.

• Provision of storage optimizer & Thin

  Well I use VOP for a bit, can someone tell me why and how I can get VOP watching the vs thin use commissioning / actual size put into service?

  And perhaps, to obtain a report on thin provisioning sizes?

  Perhaps a graph showing the growth of the provisioning over a period of time? With alerts that can be set when 90% of the lun was actually used?

  Hi Kyle,.

  You can see the thin provisioning on a data store ranging in capacity manager/availability and looking at the statistics of data store. You will see a column "committed." Sort by that and it will show you your percent committed - it's next to the column that is the % used. You can schedule this report, simply by clicking the report button.  You will see the column engaged with percentages over 100%. That will tell you where yo u use a provisioning.

• Need help on the notion of provisioning thin

  Hi all

  I'm quite new to virtualization and I'm interested in thin provisioning practice, but there is something that I can't!

  Let's say I have a drive slim 100 GB with 25 GB of data on it. If I explore from the vSphere Client data store, it tell me that the actual size of the VMDK file is 25 GB and that the allocated space is 100 GB... But when I connect in ESXi with SSH console and explore the data store, I see the VMDK file as in fact already 100 GB in size. More, when I use software as a Standalone Converter VM or VM Explorer to move / backup VM, such software have to manage (much slower than the really necessary 25 GB) 100 GB file.

  So, maybe there is something I don't get, but is the size of only 'thin' file for vSphere? I didn't need to allocate space for the data store, too what I wanted with a provisioning was a lighter file to manage when manipulate and save VM. I'm wrong about the concept?

  Thank you very much for helping me

  Provisioning is a file system feature, like sizing sparse in Linux. When you check the size of the command line, we for example ls lisa that - in addition to the provisioned size - displays the number of blocks used. When you copy a thin provisioned file to a destination (or tool) which does not support thin provisioning files will be extended to their full-size provisioned.

• Save space on the disc thin provision

  Hello.

  I have a virtual machine that has thin provisioned N. 3 disks:

  • 1-> provisioned size 20 GB
  • 2nd-> size 3 GB provisioned
  • 3-> provisioned size 20 GB

  If I look on the use of the storage on the server ESXi 5 (VI client) I see this:

  

  But if I connect on the virtual computer, I see this:

  

  With a simple calculation, I don't see that really used on the virtual machine storage size is only (20 - 8,64) + (3-0, 746) + (20 - 5,46) = 28,15 GB.

  Very different 40,48 GB storage used .

  The question is:

  is it possible to reclaim unused storage space?

  In other words: is it possible to align the "storage used" showed on the resources of the ESXi server to that actually used from the VM?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can use vmkfstools with the option ofpunchzero to recover the disk space of the thin configured virtual disks. To do this, you must first set to zero unused space within the OS itself invited, then turn off the virtual machine and run the vmkfstools command.

• thin virtual disk have full size allocated - seems

  I have created a virtual machine with the thin disc type, give it a capacity of 500 GB, install the operating system and its actuall size is 3.60 GB I can check of Vsphere, the disc name is "vmname.vmdk".

  now I want it moved to another server esxi, but when I started downloding, its size became very larg and reached same 171 GB of the drive was renamed "vmname - flat hard"(sur où j'étais le téléchargement) and ends my disk space on the local computer where I was downloading, how I can upload and download with the same size means 3.60 GB "» ,

  Please guide me

  Welcome to the community,

  provisioning is a feature of VMFS file system, this is why the virtual disk inflates its provisioned size when uploading it. What you could do is to export the virtual machine (file-> export) as an OVF and import it on the destination host.

• Confusion between display Navigator datastore, thin thickness vs, vs size put into service

  Hi all

  ESXi 4.1

  It's very confusing.

  The case is:

  A virtual machine is configured with 50 GB of HARD drive fine.

  (1) in the browser of data store, the display is:

  Size: 11 GB

  Provisioned size: 50GB

  (2) the size of the SSH vmdk file is 50 GB

  So my question:

  (1) what is the use of the real space of the virtual machine? 11GB or 50GB?

  In my understanding, since it is a provisioning, it should be 11FR. But why SSH it shows 50 GB?

  (2) why the VM with Vista, there no column 'provisioned size' in the browser data store?

  Thank you.

  If you use thin discs, the space used in your example is 11FR.

• ESXi 4 will not reduce the size of virtual HD

  Hello world

  I would like to decrease the provisioned size of some of my virtual hard drives to store data. However, I am only able to increase, not decrease...

  I tried on thin and thick VHDs, but it does not work on any.

  All virtual hard disks have the following features:

  -SCSI controller: LSI Logic SAS

  -Virtual Device Node: SCSI

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

• Inspiron 3452: free space via the removal of the apps.ppkg and folder C:\Recovery?

  On my Inspiron 3452, I could remove C:\Recovery to increase disk space, with ill effects in operation.  I felt if I need to reinstall windows, the USB thumbdrive backup I created was enough.

  This folder contains the "Apps.ppkg" package file in the subfolder of customizations of provisioning, size 3 575 529 KB.  I saved the C:\Recovery to a USB key, just in case I wanted to restore it.

  Well, I don't have reinstall it from the USB.  Now I find when I try to delete the folder C:\Recovery, I can't do it because of the Apps.ppkg 'used by the system.  When I did go to a command line in the recovery WRE environment, I lost the Bluetooth FTP device icon in 'This PC', which became a white icon and was not functional.  It seems that the content of the file is now used by Win 10 'live '.

  Copy the file to the computer and rebooting makes the back icon.  I'm not investigating any other ill effects.

  My question is: is it possible to isolate the apps.ppkg of using the OS file and delete it in order to release once more space on the 32 GB without sequela MEM?

  I used this:

  1 make a recovery disk

  2. start in recovery drive

  3. Select command line

  4 navigate in C: drive

  5 Del apps.ppkg

  I have not seen a negative effect (yet). If I do, I have the recovery disk.

  I hope this helps.

• Impossible to reclaim the unused space using vmkfstools

  I have a Winxp virtual machine that had a thick put in service 20GB HDD with only 10 GB used. With the virtual machine off, I ran vmkfstools-i XPTICK.vmdk thin XPTHIN.vmdk d and ended with a disc thin provisioned, size which shows 19,827,710 as and 20,971,520 as size put in service. When I turn on the virtual machine, it is projection 10 used HARD disk space. Is there another way to recover unused space? ESXi5.5 U2 autonomous thanks

  If zeroing free space disk (sdelete with the - z option) does not clean enough adjacent free clusters, i.e. data on the virtual file system spans the partition, it is unfortunately not that much vmkfstools can do. In this case, you will need to use VMware Converter for example and run a conversion, V2V Volume Based (advanced options).
