• Cannot resize the disk of the asm

  Hi, greetings of the day...
  
  I have created a disk of asm using asmtool as:

  I understand what you say, I have created a disk of asm with 500 MB of size using asmtool, so I can't resize using asm instance.

  1. What is the use of asmtool-added option, we can add an existing using this command drive space?

  This isn't for adding space, but it adds the label to the disk partition...
  asmtool - add \Device\Harddisk1\Partition1 ORCLDISKASM0
  >

  2 can you please explain this more, * it could be increased if you already held 300 total asm 500 disk space *?

  Think like OS, you have created a 10 GB partition for disk D:\ example. And now, you create files/folders with size of hugh (as some movies ;)) to drive D:\, so eventually your drive D:\ will fill. This is the case even with your asm disk, once you have used all your available space of the asm disk (that you created through asmtoll), you can not increase.
  By asmtool - create D:\Asm_disks\disk3 500, you assign the total size to 300 from the asm disk. Just as you add 10 GB partition for OS...

  You come to the backup from my point of view: it could be increased if you already worked 300 asm disk space total 500

  I have created the disk with the following text:
  asmtool - create 500 D:\Asm_disks\disk3 > size is 500

  I create diskgroup with
  SQL > create diskgroup DB 'D:\Asm_disks\disk3' size disc 300; > Here I wll use only max 300 size of 500 total. So once I get to the threshold of 300, I can increase the asm disk up to 500.
  As
  SQL > alter diskgroup DB resizing disk "D:\Asm_disks\disk3' size 500; > Increasing up to 500

  Default if the clause you SIZE omit while creating a diskgroup, asm then disc occupies all the available space of the device that you have created by asmtool

  >

  3. What is meant occupation here, not here where we can control the right of occupancy?

  We can control as I explained.

• cannot resize the disk on a virtual machine

  Hello!

  I have a little problem, I can not resize the size of the disk on some of my virtual machines.

  I tried yesterday on two and worked well, tried to day (different vm) and it does not work so well for me.

  I first stop the virtual machine, rightklick, change the size to 20 GB, 4 GB and press OK.

  When I then rightklick on the virtual machine after pushing OK the size is always 4 GB (I don't mean in VI client for Windows).

  Why? workaround solution?

  Thnx for help.

• How to resize the disk hard virtual fixed on Windows Server 2012?

  Original title: resizing VHDX fixed disk

  I recently converted a dynamic VHD disk of 95 GB in size (use only 60 GB inside the guest) and now as a fixed disk it's 170 GB in size.

• vCD API - how to call updateDisks to resize the disks of a virtual machine?

  Had to think about where to post this question; vCD forums or here. I chose here because it's the API specific vCO for vCD and not versions of Java/.NET working team of vCD.

  I'm going to build a workflow to allow my team to change the size of a disk. This disk is part of a virtual machine that vCloud Director 'property '. I heard several times to not only change the size of the disk in vCenter as then vCD runs a risk of being confused. I have reviewed the vCO API for the vCD and found that the VclVM object contains the set of disks (VclVM.disks) as a property. This returns an array of VclVirtualDisk. There is a method VclVM.updateDisks (VclVirtualDisk []), which seems to do exactly what I want. Update disk sizes (could be used to add new facilities). I have a bit of a problem to find how to call it from my point of departure.

  // selectedDisk: a string selected by the user
  // selectedDiskSize: a number input by the user
  
  var disks = virtualMachine.disks;
  
  for (var i = 0; i < disks.length; i++)
  {
  
       if (selectedDisk == disks[i].itemResource.elementName.value)
       {
            if (selectedDiskSize <= disks[i].hardDiskSize)
            {
                 throw "New disk size (" + selectedDiskSize + ") must be larger than original disk size (" +
                      disks[i].hardDiskSize + ")";
            }
   
            disks[i].hardDiskSize = selectedDiskSize;
       }
  }
   
  virtualMachine.updateDisks(disks);
  

  
  

  'HardDiskSize' the call throws an error. It is a property read-only and is not a method. The API documentation don't do a good job to define all the methods where I can build a new VclVirtualDisk object. or clone an existing one.

  My thought was to update the existing structures of the disc and then pass them to the updateDisks (...) method. Yes, change an internal structure of an object from the outside is not something I should be doing.

  Any suggestions on how to "clone" this VclVirtualDisk object to change?

  If someone of the vCD of the vCO API team is looking, even updateDisks (...) method will do what I want? Or I have to watch fall down to Java to achieve?

  
  Thank you!

  If I remember correctly the ability to change the size of an existing drive is not available in API vCD 1.01.

• VConverter resizes the disk?

  Hi all

  I want a physical machine with 243 GB drive to an ESX3.0. The server does not have enough space (156GB) so I lowered the size of the disk with the option "size of destination."

  This would result in a 113 GB virtual drive (see image) - but Yikes, vConverter says "the file system does not support files like this great"...

  The output of vmkfstools - P says it has 1 MB block size so if I understand correctly, it must support up to 256 GB of files...

  $ / usr/sbin/vmkfstools Pei/vmfs/volumes/storage1 /.

  VMFS file system - 3.21 spanning 2 partitions.

  File system label (if applicable): storage1

  Mode: public

  Capacity 578746843136 (blocks of files 551936 * 1048576), 170295033856 (162406 blocks) prevail

  I'm doing something wrong?

  Best regards

  elkarel,

  at face value, restriction of file size is target support more than 2 GB of files on the volume.  You have a volume of external storage to test with?

  I want to move a physical machine with 243 GB drive to an ESX3.0

  You actually use ESX 3.0 with the latest version of VMware Converter?  I think that Converter standalone v4.3 has decreased for 3.0.x which means you will need to use the Converter 4.0.1.

  We also use, with some older versions of ESX and converter, to require double the amount of free space on the destination volume.  I think that has been resolved in the 4.0.0 Converter but I could be wrong.

  In addition, there was a problem earlier on the destination volume real itself.  It seems that local storage is used, but is stride across volumes (which is not very good).  There was only one conversion in NFS and the NFS Volume rejected files over 2 GB or something like that.

  Kind regards

• Workstation 8; cannot resize the disk on the full clone

  I have a related clone I want to create a complete clone so that I can expand the virtual hard disk.  But after I created the full clone and try to use the indicator Workstation 8 utility I have an error message: "You can't develop this virtual disk because it is a linked clone."  I tried this three times, with great attention the last two times to read all dialog boxes to make sure I'm not a mistake, but the same error comes back every time.

  Here are the steps I go through:

  (1) turn off the linked clone

  (2) delete all snapshots for the linked clone

  (3) file-> open-> choose the clone of linke

  (4) VM-> manage-> Clone - to pen the Clone Virtual Machine Wizard. in the wizard:

  (5) "The current state of the virtual machine" pick (I tried as long as and create a snapshot and try to clone from that)

  (6) select "CREATE FULL CLONE' (not ' create a linked clone)

  (7) name the new complete cloned machine, and then click on finish

  After about 10-15 minutes, I get a message indicates the complete clone is finished.  I then close VMware, open it back up, open the new full clone that I created and select chose to: edit virtual machine settings-> tab-> click on the hard drive to extend hardware-> utilities-> Expand.  The error box I mentioned above pop and 8 workstations does not indicator the hard drive.and error as described above.

  Am I missing something here?

  If you can confirm the virtual disk of the new virtual machine is not a Flash disk (i.e. with 00000x.vmdk in its name) and the vmware.log file (created after you turn on the virtual machine) shows not all other hard files, you can check if the .vmsd of the virtual machine file contains incorrect entries. Essentially - after making sure that no other hard files are used - you could just delete the .vmsd file.

• resize the disk/diskgroup LUN and asm

  Happy new year to all.
  
  I have a little problem of resizing an ASM diskgroup and maybe someone here can help me.
  
  I had a lun with size 50G and added on a disk called LUN1D1 asm.
  Then I created a DISKGROUP called data1 Witch (external) contain some LUN1D1.
  Data1 is then conducted asm volume. So I have a volume of asm with size 50G and I need 100 g.
  
  Now, I have increased the size of the lun with 50 G (100G in total). I rescaned the LUN and os see the new size.
  
  The problem is that I can't resize DISKGROUP data1 or disk LUN1D1.
  
  Database of oral 11.2.0.3.0 x 64

  KFOD read the values of the BONE, so something is wrong on the BONE and does not recognize these new values.

  Did you follow the following steps?

• resize the disk space on the virtual machine

  Hello!

  I have a small problem, when I converted a virtual machine on my esx server so I chose 14FR for the virtual machine.

  But I now realize that I need more space on the virtual machine. but the problem is that I stop the virtual machine and

  give more space but the does not get more space than any alcolated in diskmgmt. and there I have to

  make a new partition.

  Can I add a disc more on C: by do not format the drive? or can I add more disk space to a new partition

  (if I add 20 GB now and want to add 20 extra GB to the same partition in 2 months or something like that?) ??

  Thank you

• Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file

  Release: VMWare workstation 9

  SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

  Screenshots below.

  I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.

  It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk.  In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file.  The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.

  There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.

  The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.

  It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot?  How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk

  I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.

  Kind regards

  He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.  This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk.  Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.

  Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

• increase the size of the disk

  on some of my VMs, I have the option resize (vmdk) disks and others I don't.

  in what circumstances that I can or I can't resize the disks?

  Generally depends on the type of virtual controller. Controllers IDE based option usually in gray.

• Resize the internal SSD flash drive

  I recently updated my original internal 750Go disc drive for a new card SanDisk Ultra II 960 GB SSD. Before installing, I cloned the original of this new SSD drive. After installation, I realized there was an amount unallocated free space (209,91 GB) I have involuntary partitioned. I tried to resize the disk several times through various tutorials and searches on google with no luck. Can anyone help?

  Data sheet:

  2011 Macbook Pro 17 "

  OSX 10.11 El captain

  This is what happens when I try to resize via Internet Recovery Mode & Disk Utility:

  

  1. what software of cloning has been used?

  2 Please after the release of the following OS X Terminal commands?

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  3. If possible, plug your old drive via a speaker and after the output of the same command. You'll need to find the value of N in the following command using the diskutil list command output.

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/diskN

• Resize the system drive

  It professionals,

  If anyone has idea how can we do it without a long and tedious to v2v process.

  Please share.

  Hi Abhare.The I do this is to:

  (1) stop original vm with the drive of the system you wish to develop

  (2) Open original vm proprieties and extend the original system drive and note what LUN it is stored on the

  (3) Open original vm proprieties and remove the vm system drive (not delete it, just delete)

  (4) open the conveniences of a second vm, add vm existing on the system disk (i.e. navigate LUN to find the original disc of vms system)

  (5) to rescan the disks in second vm

  (6) open a 2nd under vm command prompt and use the diskpart list volume / diskpart select volume # (where # is number of the old vms system disk) extend

  (7) judgment 2nd disc of vm and remove

  (8) power up original vm and hey presto, a range of disc!

  I hope this makes some kind of sense!

• Snapshot before resizing the guest OS system partition, it will allow me to roll back if problems arise?

  I currently have an ESXi Server vsphere 4.0 with Windows 2003 Server comments on that operating system. And just to be clear, this virtual machine is a control area on the network.

  The problem I have is that the system partition (C drive on the guest operating system) is running out of room. I have plenty of room in the data store where the virtual machine, so I added 30 GB drive under disk space commissioning in additional virtual machine settings page. The configuration type is thick. So everything seems to work great so far, I see this space as unallocated within the guest OS.

  After some research, I found several tools that help me to inresizing the system partition to take advantage of the additional disk space. Specifically, I intend to use the dell (ExtPart) DiskExt utility to resize the partition in order to reduce downtime. Apparently, this tool works without restarting the Windows machine.

  My question is, if I make a snapshot before you try to resize the partition of guest operating system, this would allow me to go back and cancel any potential damage that resizing of disk can cause? I understand that I expected to be able to undo a change such as this with a snapshot, I just want to be 100% sure.

  And no, I'm not trying to use a snapshot as a substitute for a backup. I do a snapshot to reduce downtime in case of a problem.

  Any information on this would be highly appreciated.

  I guess I over thought the process a little too, so I tested.  Works like a charm.  extended to the HDD via the vSphere Client, created a snapshot, ran extpart extend drive C:, delete the snapshot.  VM, although not a controller domain and just a test VM, is functional and happy.

• EL Capitan - impossible to resize the partition in disk utility

  I'm having a problem with resizing the partition of my drive (background: I have 2 partitions, 350g for mac and 150g for bootcamp) I want to resize the mac one in order to free up space.

  in normal startup, disk utility tells me target disk is too small. startup recovery, he says 'successful' but nothing happens.

  any tips?

  See this topic Support of Apple

  Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

  'Expand volume '.

  If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

  To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device. »
