Push a rdm in virtual compatibility mode?

I have a windows 2003 vm. The Group of san became a d drive that he has mapped. ESX knows now that the extra space on the lun after a new analysis.

But my virtual machine can't see the extra space in diskpart or disk Mgmt I also tried to use vmkfstools to grow them, but it did not work. the disc is curentlly 20G I'm testing an increase of 22G.

# vmkfstools x 22 G test1_1.vmdk root@cedevesx02:/vmfs/volumes/dev5/Test1

Impossible to extend the drive: one of the provided parameters is not valid (1).

-rw - 1 root root, 28 March 2008 20G test1_1 - rdm.vmdk

-rw - 1 root root 414 Jun 22 12:41 test1_1.vmdk

Morning,

Unfortunately when using RDM compatibility mode virtual you must remove the ROW of the guest and re-create it before that Windows will know the increase in size. This is because the metadata about this record is stored in the VMDK is not updated unless you remove and Add.

If you use the physical compatibility mode then this is not the case. You can just rescan the ESX host and then rescan within Windows, and then expand the disk.

Kind regards

Glen

    Hi all

    Can anyone tell me please what is the case of Virtual Compatibility Mode RDM?

    I know, it supports instant of vsphere. other use cases?

    Thank you best regards n

    One of the use cases may be to use clusters in a box (host).

    If you need to create clusters between several boxes, you can use physical RDM mode.

  • Convert a physical compatibility mode raw device mapping to a virtual compatibility mode raw device mapping

    Hello forum,.

    I have a virtual machine that got a RDM in physical Compatibility Mode, so I can't create snapshots of this disc.

    Is there a way to convert this ROW to a virtual Compatibility Mode to allow the creation of the snapshot?

    The client must create a snapshot tomorrow in order to update the database. In case of failure it would be easy to write the snapshot again.

    Hope you understand my problem.

    Assuming that the RDM is attached to a single virtual computer, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006599

    Conversely, virtual and physical memory ROW, make sure you have deleted (Clerk) the snapshot before you remove the disk devices to the virtual machine, otherwise you will lose changed data!

  • Extend the ROW when the disk is in virtual compatibility mode.

    Hello everyone, thank you very much for any help that you need to make.

    I am trying to extend a volume. The volume is a RDM. It is configured in virtual Compatibility Mode.

    I am able to extend the Lun on the SAN. When I do a new analysis in Virtual Center I see large volume. But when I go into Windows OS disk manager and rescan the disks I don't see extended volumes.

    I tried using the physical compatibility mode and it works.

    How can I go on the extension of this volume? Is it possible to do while the server is?

    Jeff

    There is no way I know to extend the RDM virt without virtual machine being down for a certain period of time.

    The advantage of virtual compatibility mode is tha ROW can participate in snapshots and behaves more like a vmdk. There are advantages and disadvantages of each type. See

  • With 2008 r2 Compatibility Modes supported

    Hello-
    I'll set up a cluster of Server 2008 R2 (on hosts) and I would like to use the compatibility mode virtual (not pass-through) for the RDM if in the "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service" for 4.0 and 5.0, it says "Failover clustering with Windows Server 2008 is not supported with virtual compatibility (not pass-through) RDM mode.» And in the "vSphere MSCS Installation Checklist" he says: "Device type must be defined in virtual compatibility mode of cluster across boxes, but not for the standby cluster host or a cluster across boxes on Windows Server 2008." Under the "Clustered disks, virtual compatibility mode (no-pass-through ROW).
    Here's my question, when they say 2008 mean 2008 and 2008 and 2008 r2?  If they mean just 2008 and I can use virtual compatibility mode, where can I find the backup information that I can use virtual compatibility mode?
    I would use the virtual compatibility for several reasons, is most important without doubt so that I can use replication SRM and vSphere virtual machine protection. If I understand correctly, if I use virtual compatibility I'll be able to do this.
    Thanks for your help

    The reason is that some commands (more precisely, orders usually locking like SCSI2, locks SCSI3) to have crossed the the device and RDM virtual mode do not allow the commands to pass through.

  • Programs running in Compatibility Mode (Windows 98) does not work (or more)

    For years, I have been (re-) installation file SETUP.exe (Epson status monitor of 1998) in Compatible Mode on a regular basis.  I right click on the file SETUP.exe, then I push properties-> compatibility-> Mode Compatible and complete under Windows 98/Windows Me.  Sometimes I run the file SETUP.exe in Windows 2000 mode also, never a problem.

    However, recently, I used DLLArchive and now the sweet Epson no longer works.  Resettlement does not either, as it must be installed in Compatible Mode and that no longer works.  In addition, run the file SETUP.exe in any Mode Compatible (Win95, 98, Me, NT, 2000) no longer works, even in non-compliant.

    I still get the same error:

    "To install EPSON Status Monitor 2, you have Windows95, NT3.1 or NT 4.0"

    While SETUP.exe is clearly compatible Win95/98.

    Earlier today, I couldn't use the Compatibility Assistant programs, whenever I had a "marscore.dll is missing" error when opening start-> Help and Support.  This problem is now solved: help and Support, and then the program compatibility Wizard work fine (I think).

    Any suggestions how to solve the compatibility problem?

    How can I check what DLL files are needed?

    Thanks in advance, Johan

  • Storm the conversion compatibility mode a moped with CAP

    Hello

    to make my games work on BlackBerry devices, I use CAP to convert JAR files. On touchscreen devices, I use the Canvas.pointer* events * and everything works as expected on all devices, including the storm.

    So far, my game seems to work with compatibility mode off (i.e. without the virtual keyboard) when installed using the Desktop Manager. This is exactly how I want it to be, but I was just wondering if it is the case by default because that research of this forum, I always read that, by default, an application is running in compatibility mode if compiled with any older IDE (pre 4.7).

    Anyone can confirm the behavior in order to release my game with support for the storm devices without using IDE 4.7 and create an additional project just for the BB Storm. Usually I don't use any IDEs as, over the years, I have developed a large number of tools and scripts to make a huge amount of work required in support of many different devices of J2ME and it would be great if I could continue to do without in the future.

    Thank you very much

    If the program in question can be run in compatibility for a specific version of the operating system, then the option will appear in the drop-down list.

  • For Windows 7 XP compatibility mode?

    In looking for information on the issue of whether the version of Windows 7's Home Premium would be appropriate for my laptop, I came across this quote on this site: «Home Premium always a compatibility mode that allows to launch programs XP.» What does that mean? What's not mean? For example, what happens if I try to run an older version of SPSS, a statistical software?

    Most of the applications that were designed for Windows 2000 or Windows XP will always properly run on all editions of Windows 7, including Home Premium. Some applications check the version number of the operating system and will fail to run if it finds an unexpected number of version, Windows 7 has so a compatibility mode that allows these types of programs to run correctly.

    There is also another option of compatibility oriented informatics professionals and business users called "Windows XP Mode," which is essentially a fully licensed copy of Windows XP Professional running inside a virtual machine and is only available for users of Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate.

    Windows XP Mode is intended mainly for companies who have designed their own internal software that is targeted specifically for a version of the software - an excellent example of this is a web app that only works in Internet Explorer 6 (which is available with Windows XP, but not with Windows 7).

  • Compatibility Mode and the XP Mode in Windows 7

    I got a little confused on the Compatibility Mode with XP Mode in Windows 7. Both allow you to legacy Windows run in Windows 7. As far as I know, the former just request that you go to your legacy application that is already installed in Windows 7, get his property and check the box Compatibility Mode and select your old Windows OS (Windows XP, SP2) - that seems without any requirement of additional beyond your Windows 7 operating system HW/SW; But this last request additional 1 GB of RAM and also installation PC Virture Mode before you can run XP Mode. Are the two modes of the same thing or different? It seems that Compatibility Mode is to each legacy Windows application, so no additional HW/SW and XP Mode is environmental BONES together. Is this fair? Appreciate if anyone can clerify this.

    Hello

    No, they are not the same.

    Compatibility mode allows you to run software simply, as say you, selecting Properties and then compare the compatibility mode and select the appropriate operating system to run this application. As you say 'no additional SW/HW prescription.'

    XP Mode is, of all intent and purpose, a virtual machine mode. You must first install Virtual PC software and then, after you have created a machine virtual, you install your software and it works as if it is running on a separate computer - hence the need for a 1 GB of additional RAM. The 1 GB of RAM is allocated to the virtual machine. If you say 4 GB of RAM then your PC would use / 3GB and your 'virtual' PC would use the other 1 GB.

    It is also interesting to note that your PC has also therefore support XP Mode, if it isn't then XP Mode cannot be installed.  John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Expert associated with: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org;

  • The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode.

    Hello everyone

    Here's the situation...

    I have:

    vSphere 5.1 Cluster with two 5.1 ESXi hosts and configuration VSA.

    vCenter Server running on a virtual Windows Server 2012 machine.

    Task: Transfer virtual vCenter to a physical machine.

    I have install the physical machine with Windows server 2012.

    Installed vCenter 5.5 (hosts Newer then the ESXi 5.1)

    VSA installed Manager (VSA Cluster 5.5)

    When go to VSA Manager I am introduced to the following screen...

    vsa_manager_24-10-2013 10-17-19.png

    Recover DOES NOT work!

    Full move operation DOES NOT work!

    It recognizes the Cluster AUV-> check availability (is online and OK)-> begins to create the Cluster VSA and it fails with the following error...

    Move the cluster host

    VSA HA Cluster

    The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode. Under voltage or suspension of the virtual machines on the host can use the CPU features hidden by this mode.

    Could someone please help?

    Thanks to you all! This problem has been SOLVED as follows...

    • VCenter Server go to--> "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps\VSAManager\WEB-INF\classes".
    • Open the file "dev.properties" with Notepad
    • Change the line that says "evc.config.baseline = lowest" to 'highest = evc.config.baseline' and save the file.
    • Perform the SERVICES. MSC and reboot 'VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices'

    After that it of back in the VSA Manager and run it again 'Cluster of VSA recover'!

    Now, the wizard should be able to add hosts to the inventory, create the HA Cluster and add hosts to the HA cluster and configure Cluster HA.

    Done everything! :-)

  • How to: Crush 3/iMac 5 k (compatibility mode)

    Hello friends,

    I see quite a few new features on the market with Thunderbolt 3. According to the FAQ of TB3 Intel, TB1 and TB2 was designed with future upgrades in mind. This means that you can connect, once a solution is available, on a host of TB2 TB3 system using compatibility mode. It will only work to 20Gbps TB2, but work remains. The same is true of peripheral TB2 TB3 host computer (will work but at slower speed)

    This would be similar to the connection of a USB 3 device on a USB 2 or 1 USB host but only get speeds over slow or vice versa.


    The question I have is that if someone came out with these fittings/adapters? What I've seen online seems to go using a device of TB2 and TB3 host and each of these adapters is Windows only. I have spent too many hours searching so I'm curious to know if someone has yet to fall on an adapter or converter that connect DisplayPort TB2 host and have the device USB-C/TB3 (USB - C not only) in compatibility mode.

    The reason? Peripheral TB3 are already less expensive than TB2 devices. I don't know who will get the most expensive. I don't care 40Gbps if he gives me a simple way to add multiple devices USB 3.0, exhibitions and maybe the eSata device. I know there are hubs, but I would prefer something that is the test of the future TB3 would be cheaper and future proof for NeXTGen computers.

    (Sorry for the TL; DR but it is always a person who does not read or "assume" it is a noob question and gives an answer "Captain Obvious". Don't BE this guy here...)

    Sincere greetings,

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit,

    I've been running Firefox with no problems, however, today when using crashing all of a sudden and I was unable to start.

    It will display a menu with choice to run in safe mode and a few other options, but I wouldn't be able to start in safe mode, because, while displaying the options, the message "windows is trying to solve the problem" appears freezing firefox and the only way out is to leave the program.

    However, if I decide to start firefox in compatibility mode with XP sp3, I can use it without any visible problem.
