Resize the VM disk and hot add drive to vCloud Director?

Hello

For the moment you can add hot cpu and memory added to warm to a virtual machine in vCloud Director. Two features. But from a management perspective, I'd rather have the ability to add the drives and disks of VMS in extension hot hot. Extension of discs and adding disks on the fly is a very common practice in vSphere.

Someone at - it an entry about it? Can it be done through the API? What is on the roadmap for a future version of vCloud Director?

Yes it is possible using the vCloud API, take a look at this blog by Jake Robinson post that shows you how to use the vCloud new cmdlets Director - http://geekafterfive.com/2012/02/24/vcloud-apigui-throwdown-part-2/

  • What is the right way to expand the virtual disk and then the OS partition?

    I have a Windows XP operating system in a virtual machine VMware.  I have

    you want to increase the size of the hard drive.  It currently has a 50 GB

    partition on a 50 GB VHD.  I increase the size of the

    50 GB to 100 GB in VMware virtual hard drive.  Then, can I use

    Windows disk management to increase the size of my partition of the

    use a third party tool like EAUSUS inside Windows to extend Windows

    on the size of the virtual hard disk?

    In fact the way you describe, resize the virtual disk and then developing the partition are the way to go. But there are some things that you should be

    aware of.

    -If the VHD is on an IDE controller, you may not be able to resize the virtual disk. In this case use the converter. With the converter, you can resize the disk including the partition and - if desired - replace the IDE controller by a SCSI controller.

    -If you have only one partition under XP (that is, drive c :)) you cannot extend the partition with the diskmanager/diskpart. In this case, start your virtual machine from a CD/DVD Vista/Windows 7 in Repair Mode, open a command line and use "diskpart" from there to "extend" your partition.

  • Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer?

    Hi all;

    I'm a newbie in the sharing of storage.
    Why the SAN disks and drives NAS recognized differently by the computer? Computer sees SAN disks as local drives, NAS drives as network drive, even if they are all connected to the computer by the same network topology.
    I knew that SAN uses the block level transfer to transfer data all in SIN use level file transfer. Is that what this has something to do with which SAN and NAS drives are recognized differently by the computer? If so, how?

    Thank you.

  • Resize the system checkbox and radio buttons system

    Is it possible to resize the system checkbox and radio buttons system. If we right click on one of them and go to properties, size controls are disabled. I wonder if it's feasible.

    Also I noticed that I could add the new radio buttons to do a right-click and choosing Add new button. Is it possible to achieve this programattically.

    Kind regards

    As mentioned, system controls cannot be customized, because they depend on the windows theme. However, here are some Boolean values, so all you need to do is use an ordinary Boolean value and import the graphics that you want in the case of true and false. They can easily be made to look like an oversized check box. More details, especially about radio buttons can be found here.

    You could probably do it in edit mode programmatically by using scripts. You can't do it at run time.

    To fill a RadioButton with new Boolean values, you can simply drag the new values Boolean inside or even shift-do drag an item to create a copy of it. Don't forget to change the labels to something intuitive.

    My photos are on a network drive. I created a catalog on the hard drive of my computer of these photos. When I later open the catalog, Lightroom indicates that the file is not found. Photos should be on the hard disk and not a network before catalog reader can find them?

    "Can't find" indicates Lightroom does not know the location of the photo because it has been moved, deleted or renamed outside of Lightroom.

  • cannot resize the virtual disk (vmdk) after successful hyper-v conversion

    Hello

    We are experiencing an environment vSphere 4.1. I have a problem on the Ramdisk resizing.

    We had managed to convert a hyper v VM. Virtual machine operating system is Windows 2008.

    After that, I can't resize the virtual disk (GB in disk options was gray-ed out, even when the virtual machine is power down)

    It's strange

    I have attached several screenshot of the virtual machine.

    Need your advice.

    Thank you

    His grace is on the IDE interface and you can not resize. the only way is to reclone using vmware converter and resize in the wizard. For more information: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/05/28/resizing-your-ide-virtual-harddisk/

    Activate by phone

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html
    Please note this step #9

    If the activation service informs you that she has failed and cannot help with activation, then STAY ON THE LINE and your call will be transferred to an operator of activation which will help you to activate your copy of Vista. The operator will give you all the numbers to ID of Confirmation if they accept that your copy of Vista is legitimate.
    NOTE: The operator just explain your situation and what you did to require activation. (EX: hardware upgrade, installed Vista on a new computer after uninstalling it from the old one, etc...)

  • Resize the search box and address box Win7

    Resize the address bar and the search box in Windows Explorer in Windows 7.  I have the double arrow to resize, but nothing happens when I drag it.  I tried to unlock the toolbars, but this does not change the action.  My address is 1/4 the size of the search box and the strange looks.

    Set your DPI up to 185, I set mine at 185 and the issue went away.  anything between 185-200 and the problem comes back.

    185 is an acceptable DPI, just a workaround solution.

    and a little faster than a SFC installation or repair, which solves the problem.

    I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)

    If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.

    If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
