Server 2003 - out of disk space on the partition of 12 GB

• Running out of disk space and the need to remove the old clichés

  I recently joined a company owning an ESXi 4.1.0 (build 260247) server with 4 500GB data warehouses.  One of our servers main database (Ubuntu/Postgres), which uses only one of the data warehouses (4 datastore) has 21GB 465 GB free.  It is currently configured to store all settings, storage and snapshots on this unique data store.  The hard disk is configured as thin.

  The virtual machine has crashed a few days ago, when it ran out of disk space.  We removed a small second partition (which was in the same data store) and cleared space, but we receive extremely weak with only 5% of the data left store.

  I have read many posts and wanted to get the opinion of this community before I move forward.   Because we do not use the 4.1 last I heard some issues using the option "Remove all" that it may require more disk space and others recommended to manually delete snapshots from the closest to the base, but it seems that in this case it can merge the snapshot with the original without freeing all the space.

  We are not all of the snapshots and I'm fine with delete them, but I assure you we will not run out of disk space in the process and complicate things further.

  It is best to manually remove these snapshots starting with the one closest to the base or by using the "Delete All" (or something else)?  In addition, if we go with the manual option, is it possible with the virtual machine upward or do we need to close first?

  Current snapshots:

  

  Current data warehouses associated with VM (really unique using the 4 data store)

  

  Actual files on the data store 4

  Welcome to the community,

  After the screenshot, your virtual disk 'arrow_db1.vmdk' stocked thickness!

  With the thick disc service and ESXi 4.1 (the problem with "Delete All" is related to version 4.0), you can run safely "Delete All". However, due to low disk space, I recommend that do you with the virtual machine off. If turned on, a new temporary snapshot will be created, which - according to the workload of the virtual machine - can grow and fill in the data store.

  Due to the size of snapshot and depending on the speed of your storage space, you need to plan a few hours well downtime.

• msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the partition relevant, clicking Retry

  Hello

  
  I've seen various threads on this topic but have not found a resolution or explanation that fits my specific scenario.

  
  I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space.  Last night, I'm moving on our Exchange 2003 Server mailboxes when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  msg.hbacommon.outOfSpace:There is reached for disk virtual server_1 - 000008.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant partition, and then click Retry.  Otherwise, click Cancel to end this session.  Try again / Stop

  Retry reproduced the error... Stop stop the virtual machine.

  After I stop, I look in the client vsphere under hardware > storage > SAN where the disc is, and I find that I'm out of space.

  Now, I created multiple snapshots I could fall back on since when I was doing the initial setup of the Exchange.  I deleted a large number of people and got up to about 50 GB of free space showing on the SAN.  However, this number is declining slowly.

  Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks?  This will become a huge problem that I have several other mailboxes to move and I thought that I had already allocated to the space I need.

  Why is that when the server is just sitting there.  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thickness)

  Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?

  Hello.

  "I have an ESXi 4 server connected to a San (700 GB) with 1 virtual machine on that (Exchange 2010).   The virtual machine, I created has 4 discs, 50GB for the OS, 2 240 GB for database drives and 1 100 GB drive for newspapers.  In the operating system, each partition shows that I have a lot of space. »

  You have created 630 GB of thick disks on a 700 GB of data store.  Thick disks use this allocated space, no matter what operating system did with them in terms of use. Yes GB 630 thickness = 630 GB used space on the data store.

  "Last night, I'm moving on the mailboxes of our Exchange 2003 server, when all of a sudden I get this error message and stop the server:

  You still snapshots (as you also mentioned) on this virtual machine as well.  With only 70 GB of free space on the data store, the snapshots are defintely going to be able to fill the volume in short order.

  «Now, when I created the virtual machine, I configured the ramdisks to be of a certain size already (50 GB, 240 GB, etc.).»  How is it that adding data (moving the mailbox) using more space than what is already assigned to the virtual disks? »

  When you create the snapshot, a new drive is created that will get all new disk writes.  So to copy a large number of mailboxes will use a lot of space quickly.

  "Why is that when the server is just sitting there."  Available free space decreases?  It has something to do with the type of disc that I created? (Thick) »

  Thick is using space, and convert it into thin disks may help to varying degrees - depending on the amount of writes.  It is above all the snapshots of the origin of the problem, or at least it's where you can focus your attention to solve this.

  "Could someone please explain why this is happening and, more important still, how can I stop it without having to do anything too drastic?"

  Remove snapshots and/or move this virtual machine to a data store greater would be the simpler of two corrections.

  Good luck!

• Not enough disk space on the Partition was ' Drive

  Hello!

  My PC has unique of the (160 MB) hard disk with two partitions 'C' (149 MB) and ' (6.27 GB).

  The partition on this disk, which would have ' a 901MB of free space on total 6.27 GB.

  The PC recovery system and partition restore points system - would be "is used for the recovery system.

  So, my question relates to every time I install Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2010 or earlier versions

  the free space in Partition D get size reduced by 1 or 2 or maybe 3 MB. End result is that

  the PC reliability and performance shows warning that free space is less than 15%

  and low disk space can cause poor performance and low virtual memory errors.

  This case occurs only with the installation of Norton Internet Security (NIS).

  When I install McAfee Internet Security does not reduce the free space in Partition D.

  The Norton came installed on my PC system, so I prefer the NIS.

  Then, why this happens only in the case of NIS and not McAfee Internet Security.

  How can I stop reduction of free space on the Partition was "during the installation of Norton Internet

  Security. So that warnings like Low Disk Space on Partition D do not come up.

  I tried, in vain, with 'Off' system restore.

  Help, please.

• Running out of disk space on the drive C:\drive but D:\ has 848 GB and is empty

  I have a new pc running Windows 7 MSI. I just started receiving messages that I don't have enough space on my hard drive.

  When I check I have C Drive (called OS_Install) has 68 GB and contains all my files and programs. Drive D (called data) has 848 GB but is empty.

  Am I supposed to bind these two drives so that the D drive is used. I never had this type of package up front.

  Its a common configuration on a preinstalled PC win

  In theory, the drive named data is where you are meant to store data, in practice, this can be annoying for the novice user, and in any case it is too small.

  Assuming that you did your recovery disk as per your instructions responsible for PC and you have backed up all the data on external media, use this free tool (master partiition House)

  http://www.partition-tool.com/

  To remove the partition D, then expand the C partition to use all the free space

• D recovery running out of disk space

  I guard thinks that Im running out of disk space on the D collection, however it only give me the option to empty the trash, if I said to clean files, nothing seems to happen.  This message is coming every few minutes and driving me crazy! any ideas, anyone please?

  Hi Ken, thank you for your response, I did what you recommended and found quota was not active, so disk check and who told me that everything was ok, I saw I was able to 'compress' disk space so I (tentavely!) tried this and with "compress" and "index this drive for a quick search" check now, I used space reading 4.92 and 2.75 GB free which is more than I had before (it was completely blue) now I have a little pink!
  Do you think I should just continue doing this regularly?  I'm sure that my SIMS game might be the cause, but do not know why, in any case thank you for your help at least makes me watch the places I was a little leery to go!
  Once again thank you very much and have a nice holiday

• EliteBook 850: running out of disk space

  I'm running out of disk space on my C drive and I moved what I know I can move safely. Are there other places I can watch I don't know or is there any bloatware that I can remove? My current storage is 220MB and have only 8.5 MB remaining for the updates.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the HP Support forum!

  What is your availability/capacity of the HDD/SSD? May be mean you gigabytes by writing that "my current storage is 220 MB and only have 8.5 MB remaining for the updates." - could you elaborate? Is this HP Elitebook 850 and Win 7?

  You can use the free space on the software disc such as the large TreeSize > > http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  He can tell you what kind of things you have on your computer use the most space.

  You can run programs such as CCleaner (www.piriform.com) or

  the built-in Disk Cleanup to remove unnecessary temporary files

  > > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/818-disk-cleanup-open-use.html

  You can move personal files (e.g. documents, pictures, videos etc.) on an external device (e.g. USB or SD memory card). Please, do not directly move/cut files programs or windows important things unless you're 100% sure what you are doing.

• my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space...

  my computer repeat myself that I am running out of disk space on local disk (c :)) I tried defragmenting it and even tried to delete some of my programs.) I don't know what else to do! can someone please help? Thanks it will be greatly appreciated!

  Get a larger drive - car price reached remarkably.

  Defrag won't give you any more space - and in fact, you can not defrag if there is less than 15% free space.

  You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space.

  I had this problem once after into virtual memory. I went back to the settings and found my partition recovery with a limited space has a paging file of my C drive has not. Check your settings if the recovery partition has a virtual memory paging file, it must be set to None (check the box before "No paging file").

• Catastrophic failure Ox8000FFFF and running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE (d :))

  Whenever I save my files to a disc, it is said that he has been completed successfully, and then later, I get a message that says Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure and I am running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE (:)) IM Windows Vista. I'm not a novice in computers, I am a computer expert. When I pull my FACTORY_IMAGE folder, I don't know what are the files, so I'm aftaid of monkey with them. I deleted the old and useless files, but whenever I run the backup, I get the message of Ox8000FFFF of catastrophic failure later. I can only assume that the backup and running out of disk space on FACTORY_IMAGE are related. I've seen corrections on the Net for this problem, but I'm afraid to try them. Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

  1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

  F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

  You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

  2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

  Also ask them how to make records.

  Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

  Should be backups on an external hard drive or DVD; external hard drive preference.

  To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

  See you soon.

• I'm running out of disk space

  Hello everyone!

  I have a very annoying problem that I faced today and I can't solve. I'm running out of disk space, and that it is nonsense because I just formatted the computer just 2-3 days ago and I have a lot of space in ut (~ 50 GB) and free to ~ 800 MB and it goes down for hours. The size of my file is ~ 28.3 GB and I had to have ~ 20.5 free space. I deleted all the unnecessary and temporary files and used a program cleaner (CCleaner) and other tricks but does not work. I don't know what I have to do. Please I need immediate assistance!

  Greetings,

  Raul

  Thanks for the reply! It looks like a volume snapshot (restore point) takes a lot of space. Access control configuration\systeme and Security\System and open System of Protection, then remove all the restore on the C: drive

  Kind regards

• Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so big they eventually run out of disk space, and then I can't resize them...

  Hi all, I need to understand why my VMs will always grow so large they finally running out of disk space, and then I can't resize them... see the screenshots below:

  

  So all my virtual machines are that looks like it's finally the 5 GB goes down to zero, cannot update things like Dropbox and all sorts of other things start to break. I then, go here and try to expand, but I get this error on machines to young readers:

  

  I think I need at least as much GBs on the system, as is the virtual machine? Done my MBA and smaller machines, is not possible. But when I move the virtual machine to a bigger machine like my iMac, with a big disc of TB, I can do the resizing. Is it the way it is supposed to work? Perhaps, I do not have this right...

  thx for all the advice!

  Yep, that's the way it is supposed to work.  The close, move it to the iMac, expand drive, then arrest him and bring him back.  Make sure you choose "move" not "copy" when migrating to avoid triggering the activation of windows.

  Regarding what is eating space inside the virtual machine, you will have to consider for the guest OS for more information (which are not a matter of merger).

  To free up space on the host, with closing VM, go to settings, click on the circle of little tiny refreshment next to the space bar, then if she said cleaning recommended, go into general and make a clean virtual machine.

• Store data to run out of disk space...

  Hello world

  Hope you can help with that... My server is running more disk space. I have an old server of ESX3.5i. She has 280 GB disk 3 space hosting servers. But the allocation of disk space total for this 3 virtual servers are about 90 GB. So the ESXi server should have at least 180GB available. However, I just checked and the system told me that the 280 GB data store has only 1.93 GB left...

  May I ask why this happens? And how do the clean up?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  ... for those who will be always stay and eatup storage?

  VMware will not delete the VM unless requested by the user. When you right click on a virtual machine in the inventory, you have two options "Remove from Inventory" (which is what probably did you) and "remove disc", which will remove the files of the virtual machine.

  What you can do if the virtual machine has already been withdrawn from inventory is just remove it from the data store or right-click on the VMX file and select 'Add to inventory' and then use the option "remove disc".
