• Conversion of a file server to reduce the size of disk - things to consider?

  Hi all

  This weekend I plan to do a conversion, v2v of our file server to reduce one of the discs of 600 GB to 250 GB and also change the disk type of thin thickness.  I expect it to take quite long time so want to make sure I have to work on my first attempt!

  I will warn users that the file server is not available during this period, there is always the danger someone could connect remotely and connect during the conversion process (they have roaming profiles/home folders stored on this server).

  My main concern is that if a user connects and modifies a file, etc. in their home folder during the process, it may fail.

  My boss has proposed to vcentre server and the server I want to convert in one vlan private during the process, so that no one can connect, but I am a little concerned that the servers may need to communicate with controllers of domain/dns during the process?

  Is someone able to provide advice regarding my concerns?  Especially if someone connect/change a file on the server of files during the process.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you really do a v2v conversion, you must stop the machine before the conversion. So nobody will be able to connect (obviously). You seem to plan a p2v (treats converter powered on virtual machines the same as physical devices). I suggest that you consider making a volume based v2v turned off (if it's a Windows machine because it seems to be)

  If for some reason, this is not possible, can you consider to stop the 'Server' service during the conversion? Thus, all actions will become unavailable.

  Note: You must have a converter agent deployed before that.

• Reduce the size of the virtual hard disk

  Are there any known issues with the reduction of the size of a virtual hard drive, I have a machine that has been installed with plenty of disk space, but space is not needed now, so I was going to reduce the size in the settings. Any questions?

  So I guess you want to reduce the nominal size of the virtual disk. The VMware Converter Standalone user to achieve this. You choose your comments as the source machine and create a new clone of him while reducing the size of the hard.

• Reduce the size of the virtual disk RAID 5

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual disk PERC H700 RAID-5. Total size of the disk is 5.5 TB. The problem is that WinServer 2003 cannot use the disk due to the MBR 2 TB limit (and I can't convert to GPT without destroy all partitions, which is what I try to avoid). Since 3.5 TB of drive space is unallocated (and reconciliations), is there a way to reduce the size of the virtual disk to remove this space which can not be used anyway? Then, I could by using the remaining capacity to create a new virtual disk that can be set up as GPT and access the space through it (or two new virtual drives 2 TB and 1.5 TB in size). I know that you can expand a virtual disk, but you can a shrink?

  No, you can develop most of the virtual drives, but you will not be able to reduce them.

  You will have to start on this subject, creating a VD less than 2 TB for boot/OS disk, then the rest can be used in an another VD.

• Reduce the size of the VM disk?

  Hello

  I have a client who has an ESXi 4.0. The person who put up, set up with disc 3 x 1 TB, with 1 data store spans 3 discs, without redunancy, raid, or backup. This is my understanding of the functioning of data warehouses, that it is a bad set up.

  I want to recreate data warehouses, so there is a 1 store of data per disc, and I've only another 1 TB drive to do this, but one of the two virtual machines is defined with a size of virtual disk of 1 TB and I tried to move it to another disk of 1 TB, and it failed during the process I think because of lack of space. I was going to try to create new virtual discs and clone the readers through, but does not support the previous technology implemented servers with dynamic disks, instead of base and Acronis cloning to dynamic disks.

  So I wanted to know if there is another way to reduce the size of the virtual disk of the virtual machines, so I can recreate data warehouses. Or if anyone has any other suggestions for how can I do to recreate data warehouses without losing the servers.

  Any suggestions would be helpful and let me know if I need to provide more information, thank you!

• VSphere ESXi4.0 - need help upgrade and increase the size of disk to the server

  Hello

  I have the free version of the VSphere ESXi4.0, I'm looking to do 2 things:

  (1) Upgarde to the last free version of Vsphere. Can you point me to the upgrade of the software and the path correct upgarde?

  (2) I have 2 servers running in the machine.  One is a Windows 2008 R2. I need to increase the size of disk for this server. Currently, it is 144 GB. I need to increase it up to 260 GB. How can I do this? I tried to simply increase the size by increasing the C of this server disk Edition by the 40 to 80 GB VSphere client and D ranging from 100 GB and 200 GB drive [I'm running out of space]. But the Vsphere shows again that the orginial 140 assignment or not the new 280 Gb.

  Help, please. Thanks in advance

  You must go into Windows on the virtual machine and use the disk management tools to extend the volume. It is a two stage process where you first set the VM, then the second step is to adjust the windows.

• How to reduce the size of the virtual disks on Fusion 3.1.2 my W7 64 bit

  A few months ago, I created a DVD install a virtual machine in Windows 7 64-bit 120 GB. I never checked the disk space until a couple of weeks and now I have two hard files over 160GB with a .vmwarevm. I have never created all the files component snap so I am confused how it happened and how to fix this?  After all, a MacBook Pro's as much disk space

  OK it looks like the Virtual Machine on which you have is "/ users/dbaps/Virtual Machines.localized/Springer31.vmwarevm" and it is only using the Springer31.vmdk virtual hard disk that is in the Document Virtual Machine Package, so I can't tell you where both .vhd files of ~ 165GB come so you'll have to deal with this on your own.  You have Parallels installed at a certain time or do you have them created with Windows 7?

  If you have VMware Tools installed and no snapshots you can use VMware Tools in the OS invited to shrink the virtual hard drive and it should reduce the size of that Windows Explorer shows how much is used.

  Also, you have assigned 4 CPU cores of the Virtual Machine and over the commitment of the processor cores will slow things down so I would attribute no more then two and that you set for 1/2 of RAM to the Virtual Machine host and this of course uses more then what you have assigned, some for the purpose of merger of VMware and some video RAM so you use really ~4.4GB of RAM just for VMware Fusion and the Virtual Machine.

• How to reduce the size of the virtual disk

  Is it possible to reduce the size of the virtual disk to a virtual machine.  If so, how?  We tried the shrink option in the VMware tools running on the virtual (Win2003) computer, but it didn't reduce the size of the unit at all.

  VMware Converter is probably the best option for fret.

• Reduce the size of photo on laptop library

  Received error message - your startup disk is almost full.  Checked storage space - about 3G stay out of 120 G.  Majority of the space is used by the Photos, even if I have pictures of preferences to control the size based on the remaining storage space.  With the help of El Capitan 10.11.3

  OK, that setting is not so magical. It will do it's best to reduce the size of your local images, but there is a limit.

  You can, and it appears to have run out of disk space. An external USB drive is probably your best option. Move your pictures on it and free up space on your system drive.

  You heurterez you probably have other problems with so little disk space available.

• Reduce the size of the image

  A relatively simple matter. Using of 1456 CVS and a Basler VBAI camera A622F 3.0, how to reduce the size of the full image while grabbing a picture from the camera via an external trigger? For example, if the size of the real matrix of the camera is 1280 x 960 pixels, how can I reduce it up to 640 x 480 pixels when the acquisition of image while still watching the same area/image, but of course with a smaller image size (or less pixels per square mm)?

  I ask this question because while applying the script in VBAI, the time of the loop does not my request to go beyond 20 parts per minute. I need the same script applied on a small image so that it takes less time to run, which increases the throughput of the part. I'm sure I'll lose a few details while doing so, but I think it will be an acceptable compromise for my application. I tested (using benchmarking) between large sample images and 40% reduced the size of the same images. It takes a lot more time using the same script on the big pictures against children.

  The camera tool (Format 1 Mode 2 etc) help in this case? I would also appreciate if you have any other ideas / comments on this problem.

  Thanks for your reply bruce. But my version of the 3.0 VBAI watch tool geometry which has an option "resampling". The problem has been resolved by choosing a lower resolution on it.

  Have a great day.

• Reduce the size of the folder Windows/install in Windows 7

  I found many messages touting the benefits of a utility that MS formerly offered to reduce the size of the folder Windows/Installer for earlier versions of Windows called MSIZAP.exe.  Of course, this is not recommended and has been replaced by a FixIt.

  My main drive has grown to use 60 GB!  I install most everything I am able to install it on other players.  On the 60 GB, the Windows folder using 23.6 GB.
  I have already reduced the Windows/winsxs folder to 10.6 GB 6.1 GB with the MARIKEL utility.
  How am I able to reduce the folder Windows/Installer of her current 7.33 GB size?  This file consumes almost 1/3 of the already massive amount of the Windows folder?
  Thanks in advance!
  Hello

  The Installer folder may be located in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. (Folder install is a hidden folder).

  We can delete the files in the folder, but they will be required when you try to uninstall some programs that installed with Windows Installer. So after you delete these files, we will need to reinstall or repair a related program if they cannot be uninstalled with error "needs to uninstall previous installation".

  However, instead of delete the folder of Windows install, I should delete you them using Disk Cleanup.

  In addition, reducing the space for the restoration of the system.

  Reference:
  How much space does System Restore disk requires?

  WARNING: If you reduce the disk space to be smaller than the space that is currently used by the system of protection, older restore points, including previous versions of files, will be deleted.

• Reduce the size of the video

  How can I reduce a video KB 3.54, to send it as an attachment in an e-mail?  When I tried the message says it is great!

  I don't really know what size it should be.

  Wow - a video of 272 MB and you want to make small enough to send via e-mail...

  You will have to deal with your e-mail server/service and the maximum file size attachment that they will allow.  You will have to deal with servers/services of intermediate messaging as well as their limits as your file made its way to the intended recipients.  You will have to deal with the final or the recipients mail servers/services and their limits as your file arrives.

  A better discussion about this can be found here:
  http://www.Outlook-apps.com/maximum-email-size/

  ... and although the limits are no longer necessarily accurate, gives you a sense of reality.

  Given all that, probably you should reduce this file of two hundred and sixty - two megabytes (272 MB) to about ten to twenty-five megabytes (10 to 25 MB) - a reduction of at least 91%.  The quality that would be lost to this reduction is ridiculous.  ;-)

  Better you use something like OneDrive or Google or Google Reader + or an array of other freebies web sharing...  Of course, what you use will depend on greatly which explains that you have online and/or which accounts you want to create.  ;-)

  What I'm saying is: it is better NOT to reduce these things in most cases, share them * being *.  Of course - there are dozens of ways likely to reduce the size of this video-based video codecs today, resolution, etc. - but without this information too - is somewhat a shot in the water and there would be a loss of quality to the level that you need to reduce these things in order to guarantee delivery by e-mail directly.  ;-)

• Reduce the size of my backup file.

  Backing up files on my computer seems too large. I have Windows 7 and it has 298 GB in D drive and at the present time, there are 53 GB free.  The system tells me that requiere 244 Go back up, which seems excessively high.  I went through and deleted the old back ups. and the current D: file shows that it is divided into 3 things - Datat file backups: 81 GB, System image 163GB & other files 111 GB.  Any ideas how to reduce the size of the back up required?

  Hello

  1 have had modifications made to your computer before the problem occurred?

  2. do you get any error code or error message when you try to perform the action?

  Archive old files to backup in ZIP files.

  You can use Zip compressed Windows to compress backup files to save disk space, or you can perform a customized Windows backup.

  You can also check the following links and check if that helps.

• Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig?

  Hi all.

  I recently increased my memory of 4 GB to 12 GB.  I noticed that my pagefile has increased in size that corresponds to the installed memory.  Can I reduce the size of the pagefile, or does this size for optimal performance of the rig.

  See you soon.

  Original title: size of pagefile.

  Swap files are always important. UNIX, Linux, MacOS and Windows all set up to Exchange files and use them. Some applications also require the existence of a file...

  The only people who need to limit the size of pagefile are those whose disk space is very valuable to the critical operations of mission currently running on the computer.

  Do not be fooled into thinking that the loading RAM is the best option, because it's not like people in the above paragraph you would say.

• How can I reduce the size of a PSE11 catalog?

  How can I reduce the size and increase the efficiency of a PSE11 catalog by removing many of its elements?

  A catalogue with more than 10,000 photos works very slowly. But deleting the photos does not help. To take an extreme example, removing all but ten photos, remove all tags and identifications of persons and performs the repair and optimization changes size of the catalogue almost at all, from 516 MB to 493 MB. The properties of the two catalogs indicate the number of files to remain unchanged: 10 279 files. (It seems that each of these files is a photo in the original catalogue, great, all except that ten have allegedly been deleted).

  A whole new catalog created with these same ten pictures has less than 1 MB in size, with only 20 files. This tiny catalogue and the 493 MB each probably contain the same usable information.

  Starting with the large catalog with 10,000 photos, is it possible to delete all but ten of his photos, while reducing its size from 516 to 1 MB? (If so, I want to use the same method with a lot more pictures.)

  Thanks for the comments.
