• Virtual disk or a raw device

  I have a virtualized Netware server.  I need a volume at least 700 GB space.  I have a SAN volume that is 836 Go.  It will be used for the storage of file user.  This could be any type of files.  I'm trying to figure out if make a virtual drive or map with Raw Device mappings.

  If I create a virtual disk, I have to use a block size of 4 MB to get the space I need.  Some files could be several size k or smaller.  I will lose the space according to the size of block?  Can I use Raw Device, or is it important?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  If I create a virtual disk, I have to use a block size of 4 MB to get the space I need.  Some files could be several size k or smaller.  I will lose the space according to the size of block?

  "Large blocks do not increase storage overhead as subblocks are used for small files. Subblocks are still 64 KB. "- taken from Duncan yellow bricks.

  Can I use Raw Device, or is it important?

  It does not matter in terms of saving storage space. Either will work fine.

  Good luck!

• Best practices - virtual disk of Raw device mapping vs

  Hello

  A small question about the configuration. What would be described as the best practice to configure a comment server that required a large amount of disk space? What is the preferred option:

  1 - create a virtual machine with a mapping of raw device to the LUN (on a san)

  or

  2 - create a virtual machine with another large virtual disk that is in a data store on the LUN (on a san)

  Thank you

  Dave

  Kader you are limited with 2 TB in any case (except using the iSCSI software from within the guest operating system), the only arguments are:

  (1) use RDM if it is possible that you will connect to this physical machine LUN. Or you already have the unit number logic of a physical machine as a large file server.

  (2) VMFS use in all other situations - VMDK give flexibility, you can migrate the virtual machine where you want.

• [Performance] Data store Virtual disk LUN or a raw device

  We try to find the solution the faster for one of our internal systems.

  Currently, we have a data store that is located in a SAN iSCSI via a virtualdisk file.

  Since we want to benefit the maximum of iSCSI SAN configuration, we want to know what solution is faster:

  -Via the data as virtual disk (diskfile) store

  -Via direct LUN mappingl (mapping RAW)

  I searched the documents, but it is impossible to find the figures/numbers how much performance gain, we would be able to get.

  Us don't use clichés (and do not use then as well), and what other pinpoints should I also everything by making the decision to change the architecture?

  There may be some performance improvements, you can do in your env, but they come from VMDK of RDM.

• RAW device to the virtual disk migration

  When trying to cold migrate a raw disk device VM of EVA Storage to a virtual disk in a DS8100 it fails with the following message: "incompatible device backup specified for device ´0´" the size of the LUN is Go 510 and appaers message when 100% is full 3 hours laters. I set the block size 2 Mb in the data store, but when I try to migrate a RAw of 100 GB on the same VM migration works very well and I use the new virtual disk without problems.

  This could be a problem with the maximum of storage migration?

  Could you tell me if you know another way to migrate this raw device on the virtual disk?

  TKS!

  Have you tried VMware Converter inside the guest who has the backend RDM?

• The specified file is not a virtual disk: could not open the vmdk

  I am running vmware player 5.0.1 for windows 7 x 64. I rebooted the host after the suspension of my VM, and when I try to play the virtual machine after the reboot, I get the error message in the topic. I have attached a screencap of the error, my vmware.log and the it refers to a vmdk file. I did some research on the knowledge base and he speaks using virtual disk (vmware-vdiskmanager) Manager to regenerate the vmdk file, but I don't seem to have this program. -What for vmware server/workstation? Can I download it somewhere? Is there an easy fix? My drive is stored in several files that I have to rebuild all of them?

  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help...

  The "EVANS - WHS 2011-0.vmdk" file is a virtual hard disk of metadata, which is a pointer to a physical hard disk and you are not supposed to suspend, snapshot, a Virtual Machine that uses a raw disk such as this and the physical drive could trash making!

  The only thing I can say without further information is to delete and add back.

• Specify the size of the virtual disk beyond 256 GB

  I'm editing the seetings on a virtual machine to have another drive.

  When I create a disk I select the size of the drive, 1 TB. I point to the location of LUN 30 data store (2 TB).

  When I click Next, I get the following message:

  The capacity of the disk is entered was not properly formed number or was out of reach. It has been replaced by the nearest acceptable value.

  This means - there is a procurement policy that I can change or what I need to select a card raw SAN LUNS?

  The maximum size of virtual disk on a store of data before ESXi 5 depended on the size of the selected block when the data store has been created/formatted. Please take a look at the tables to http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384 to see the file sizes maximum depending on the block size of the data store.

• How to install Firefox 7 on a virtual disk in Windows 7?

  Firefox automatically installs in my program files and won't let me change that. I have a permanent virtual disk. I think that Firefox would go faster if I installed it on the ram disk.

  That will probably not noticeable different because Firefox loads the files of program in memory after loading and the profile folder with all the personal data is located elsewhere.
  
  It is usually written causing the more delays, especially if anti-virus software checks each entry.

  See the Firefox profile folder:

• Increase the size of the virtual disk.

  I just installed Windows virtual PC on Windows 7 64 bit and I try to install a program of 6 GB.  He said that there is not enough memory.
  The size of the virtual disk in less than 2 GB and I can't find any way to increase this size.  I tried to create a second virtual disk with more memory, but the same error comes back.  Is there a way I can increase the size of the primary virtual disk?

• Acer Aspire V5 - 572G windows update, net and virtual disk problems.

  So I installed w7 x 64 ultimate on my laptop and notiiced windows update does not work. It shows that he can not connet to the server. After trying to fix it I discovered that I need to install net framework, which I tried, but he also failed because when I download the framework and before I press on install it shows me how much to download and it is 0. After I press on install it loads a little and it is said that he was not successful. Also tried to download some programs, such as driverpack, drivers search for and he found this lack gcdbusdevice and dcbusdevice im. When I tried downlaoding them, they seem not to exist. And when I try to install daemon tools or some simillar programs, it will fail to install, or fails to create a virtual disk, and after that the laptop can not stop lights. I have to use the restore point, and then he turns then on.

  So yes, some advice or help would be nice, thank you.

  Please see this link:

• new Pavilion dv5 laptop Virtual Disk Service restarts every minute

  New journal of events system dv5 - 1007ca is filled with entries saying the virtual disk Service stops, restarts 1 minute later, stops after 2 seconds, then resumes at new 1 minute later.   4 inputs each minute.

  I went back to the store and found the same thing is happening on all the dv5 on screen, as well as HP tx tablets.

  The deactivation of the service is not a solution because then you can't get in the Disk Manager, more I do not know what else.

  Everyone has noticed this?   or can suggest how to stop this behavior?

  Looks like it's all new dv5, not just mine.

  Thank you

  Ok thank you.  Start in safe mode led me to the solution.

• How can I remove a virtual disk partition?

  Well, basically, I was using the program - Ramdisk, and it takes little memory your just RAM and transforms a partition you can store things in, or use it as a hard drive. But, now, I think he's using for many and I would remove it. I used 400 MB of ram, so now it is used. I went to computer management, went to the partition and delete the volume. Now, he says: 5 - base 400 MB drive online, but on the side, where it shows the volume actually score or what ever, it says 400 MB not allocated.

  So now I have 400 MB of ram m unallocated, and I'm trying to find a way to get it back in my ram used! Any help would be greatly please

  You would need to reverse the process used to create the virtual disk - uninstall the software used to create, or reverse the settings that you have invoked in Windows to create, as the case may be.  Just delete the disk partition RAM does not remove it from memory.

• Reference Dell MD3220 virtual disk - hot spare in use

  We have a Dell MD3220.  one of the hard drives was taken out by an end-user trying to exchange a defective disc. Then after that the good player has replaced the old drive was placed back into the appropriate slot. Now we have a hot spare (enclosure 0, slot 23) in lieu of an another hot spare (attachment 2, slot 22). The hot spare that is subbed for has been replaced by two new hard drives now and the hot spare in use has still not disappeared. any suggestions on what to do next?

  Virtual disk - hot spare in use

    Physical disk failure in the: attachment 2, slot 22
       Action (deletion) enabled service:  NO. 
         LED of action on service component:  NO.
    Replaced with a physical disk to: enclosure 0, slot 23
    Virtual disks: 3

  Hello, GalaxyTechService.

  It is perhaps not as complicated as it may seem, in fact. There is a wizard that you can use to return the disk to the raid set. Right-click the affected virtual disk and select 'Replace physical disk' and use the wizard that opens.

  In the upper area will be "missing disks", and in the lower field will be options available to replace them.

  Then just follow the steps.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Reference Dell HDS - recommended VMware virtual disk - drives provided - basic and dynamic thin and thick.

  Can someone point me to the literature on best practices for guest disc formats?

  I know all the Compellent thin-provisions. However, in VMware 5.5, when you set up a virtual disk in the comments you have several choices:

  • Lazy provisioned to zero thickness
  • Eager provisioned to zero thickness
  • Provision of thin

  And then, at the level of the OS, you have the choice of:

  • Base
  • Dynamics

  I would like a pointer to the technical document explaining the advantages/disadvantages of each choice and recommended best practices.

  Kind regards

  Kath

  I would like to either thin or thick lazy to zero.  The two will take the same amount of data on the HDS.  The main decision is where you want to manage your storage space?  If dilute you on thin you need to make sure that you make no provision in both places.  If you have thick lazy to zero, then you can only on commissioning on one side.

  Say that I always thin on thin.  Recovery of the space at the level of the virtual computer is not officially supported immediately, but maybe someday.

  In a virtualized environment, always keep it simple.  There is no dynamic performance with virtualization

• Virtual disk expansion

  I've added four new hard drives at 8 on my ax100 and configured ' DISK POOL 1, include 11 records. A drive is configured as a hot spare. Then, I have expanded the "Virtual Disk 1' to include all the"POOL1 DISC' again. I was expecting the SAN will appear as a 6 to drive in Win2003. However, it proved that I need to format the 4 additional disks and set up as a new partition. I need a shared 6 to disk, not two separate 4TB and shared 2 TB drives. I plugged a different server in the same San using the switch, but it also shows the SAN as two separate partitions.

  Is there an operation that is not destructive to consolidate all readers, both old and newly added, in a huge partition/drive and see it as such in Win2003? It would be difficult to make two backups one 6 to SAN, destroy the virtual disk, recreate a large drive virtual and end of restoration. Help, please. Thank you.
