Replacement of the VSAN disks to upgrade capacity VSAN

Hello

Host with 1 flash, 5 magnetic disks all handsets in VSAN and the host has no more space for additional drives. Is the supported way to improve ability: remove the disc from lower capacity from the diskgroup, evacuate data, replace them with higher-capacity drive, wait for the magic, replace the next smaller capacity disk, etc., etc.?

When I insert the higher capacity drive and add it to the Group of disks, is there a process I need to manually trigger to release data on the new disk?

How can I track the progress of the evacuation of the data on a disc? And how can I track the spread of the data to the new drive?

Gabrié

Hello, I think that you have the correct process.  Remove the disk from the web client, physically, remove the disc, insert the new drive.  VSAN is assigned to records of claim self, that should be it.  If you do not have to manually add claim the drive.  As you noted, waiting for data to be moved each time before moving.

If you have vSAN 6, you can run a proactive rebalancing to redistribute the data.  http://cormachogan.com/2015/04/22/VSAN-6-0-part-9-proactive-re-balance/

Thank you, Zach.

  • Replacement of the HARD disk on Equium A100-337 - installation of operating system recovery disc?

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 337 Vista Premium. Unfortunately, the HARD drive died in it and it is out of warranty.

    I have the recovery CD and it have used before so know this works.

    I intend to put in a HARD drive replacement, but looking around, I can get a much better deal on something like maxtor/WD/seagate.
    It would be a problem for the recovery CD?

    In addition, the original disk is 60 GB - but if possible, while I replace in any case, I like to put in a bigger. What worries me is if the recovery CD is for 60 GB image pre - and then the rest of a larger HARD drive would be just wasted space? (if indeed it would even work in the first place)

    Someone else put in a brand/different size of HDD and used the successfully recovery CD? I have to admit not knowing much about how does the recovery process, pointers on that would be appreciated also.

    See you soon.

    A different size will be fine. Not sure about the different makes it well, but as far as I know, as long as it has the same interface as the original HARD disk, and then you'll be fine.

    A Yes, the recovery works on a more than 60 GB HARD drive.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    You n t need to install a HDD in particular of Toshiba. You can also use disk of another company.

    It is important that you use a HARD drive with support for hardware specifications.

  • Motherboard fried; replaced, but the OEM disks don't reload Windows Vista

    How can I do or what number to call to get reloaded Vista.  I have two computers even.  HP Pavilion a6300f.  Both are about 2 years old and all original.  In November 2009, the motherboard on one of two computers went wrong.  In December, the other motherboard has gone bad.  I bought a new motherboard for the first and reloaded all the original hard disk, fan, CPU etc. etc.  Tried to use the OEM recovery disk, but he would not allow it.  I would like to be able to challenge the two machines, re - install windows vista and then move to W7 to correspond with my new computer... but I can't get Vista to recharge.

    Any ideas on who to call at Microsoft?  It seems to me that I should be able to reinstall Vista and then do what I want to do.

    It's nothing to do with Microsoft.

    You use HP recovery media.

    You will need to contact them about problems with their recovery media.

    You have changed the motherboard and their OEM recovery disks include drivers for the motherboard of origin for your model computers.

    Contact HP:

  • How to upgrade the size of the hard drive and transfer all THE OS/software/data (image) of the original disk?

    HP desktop with a HDD normal computer. Win Vista 64-bit Windows.  But the question is generic for another one with Win7 and another with XP.

    The problem is that I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new fresh Plus unit.  I want to keep exactly the same software as that on the original disc.   I want to know how to transfer data from the old disk to the new image.   I remember the old days BACK to copy just the files copy very well, but OS files data files and startup records, etc. etc. should be in areas on the disk, so you can not just copy the.  I know there are software packages ghosts to even a backup image to a computer, to recharge on a true double drive on a death warrant of the disc, but is it the same path to use for an upgrade?   Then, there will be no problem with MS or others by looking at the serial number of the disc material and decide on their software are installed on a new machine without a license?  etc.

    All experienced suggestions would be appreciated.

    IE brand disks: Seagate, WD, and a few others provide the software with the package of disk or from the Web site that allows cloning on the same drive size, but for a larger drive.  Acronis will be similar.  As long as the size of the disk is not unreasonable, they do it quite easily.  Depending on the age of the system, however, some may not tolerate the readers more great or the more recent huge 2 TB.

    You have the Intel 855 chipset. In order to launch a hard drive larger than 137 GB, you need help for 48-bit Large Block Addressing in the chipset, BIOS and operating system. I find contradictory information on the ability of the chipset 855 doing of 48bits LBA. I also wonder if ever taken HP worth of produce a BIOS that would make 48 bit LBA in this model being the biggest hard drive offered 60 gigs. In other words, I think you should assume 120 GB is size max hard drive you can use and the only way I can think to prove otherwise is to buy the largest disk and install it. Windows XP Sp1a and superior does not large drives.

    I tried many things such as the cloning of the Apatite.vmdk of Apatite - repaired.vmdk. That works, however, I get an old version of the virtual machine. I do not receive my changes of Apatite - 000001.vmdk or Apatite-000001 - delta.vmdk.

    I have a very important job on my VM that I am restoring. I should have backed up before doing anything else I've done. Now, it seems that I pay the price.

    Can someone help me get my VM? Is it possible to increase the size of the snapshot (Apatite - 000001.vmdk) or reduce the size of the parent so that they match, and the virtual machine start?

  • Reinstall CS3 Web Standard after the hard disk crash. Serial number, but check the upgrade is a problem - from Mac to PC, so does not match my product calling (Studio MX Mac)

    I'm reinstalling CS3 Web Standard after a hard disk crash. I have my serial number, but after entering, it does a check of upgrade, and at the time wherever I upgraded I also did a single switch from Mac to PC - so my product calling (Studio MX Mac) has a serial number starting with "WSM600"... ", while the upgrade check won't accept - Studio MX Mac is not yet available as an option. This happened once before and I had to work with a representative by phone (I had to click in a hidden part of one of the activation screens to get a number, if I remember correctly), but apparently Adobe that does more. And the page of "www.adobe.com/go/activiation" the phone message directs you to doesn't seem to have an option for this problem either.

    So, what is the replacement or her work around this problem now?
