• Maximum size of VMDK

  Guy

  I know that size max VMDK is on ESXi 4.1 is 2 TB... my question is if I have a virtual machine that has 100 GB OS, but 4 additional VMDK attached to this virtual machine, and each is 2 TB VMDK?

  Or a virtual machine may contain not more than 1 to VMDK?

  Please specify it. Thank you.

  .. and don't forget that the max is based on a single HARD drive presented to the customer, not a total of all hard drives present.

• ESXi 3.5 U4 - size Max LUN and problems on HP MSA70 SAS storage

  A few questions...

  What size Max LUNS ESX 3.5 U4 can display/use? I ask because a colleague has a 3 TB LUN and for some reason he does not see ESX.

  Anyone who has used a MSA70 with 25 discs SAS 147 GB on ESXi U4 as shown above? We have problems with it see the big LUN. We created the LUN via HP 'Array Configuration Utility' start to the top of the smart start CD, it went well. Downtown's watch that the controller sees the managed disk 1 lun. But when it comes to installed ESXi he did not see the big LUN. Is there a limit max?

  Thank you

• P2000 Volume sizes as seen by ESXi 5

  Hi all

  I have a HP P2000 CF table connected to a host ESXi 5.  I have configure vDisks and Volumes on the P2000.  I can see and build warehouses of data on these volumes, but ESXi sees about 6 to 7 percent smaller than the P2000 says they are.  No idea why?  I don't like wasted space, of course.  But I'm more worried that I can miss something important here.  I'm new to berries ESXi and CF.

  Thank you very much!

  Welcome to the community,

  Maybe it's a matter of how the table handles sizes, base 10 or base 2. Unless I'm mistaken uses P2000 base 10 in which GB cases e.g. 1,000 out of storage are really only ~ 976 GB actually.

• Where to 10 GB in size of VMDK files.

  Hello.

  SW: WmWare Workstation 7.1.4.

  HW: Intel Core i7-920/6 GB of RAM/2x0.5Tb HARD drive. Host of OS = Windows 7 x 64 ultimate.

  I have a virtual machine with the guest OS Windows Server 2003.

  When I run this VM I see inside - drive C: size = 39.8 GB space free = 30, 2 GB. So, space = 9.6 GB.

  But when I stop VM I see - the VMDK file size is 19 GB!

  The big question is - where did it take 10 GB 'extra '?

  How can I adjust to its actual size? So I want VMDK take all the space, it is used in real-time under guest operating system.

  Well, I'm ok if difference will be from 1 to 2 GB but 10 GB - it IS TOO! :-(

  I tried to shrink the VMDK size:

  (1) ran Compact & Deframent for this VMDK file (in VmWare FRO this virtual machine).

  2) has added a new virtual HARD disk, start VM in the Acronis image ISO disc and then - created disk image of the HDD1, HDD2.

  Then HDD1 deleted, added new HDD1 with the same size. Restore the system from the HDD2 to HDD1 disk image.

  After all these manipulations I still have VMDK size = 19 GB!

  Still can't understand - where does 10 GB 'extra '?

  Kind regards
  Dmitry.

  I'll assume that you don't have any snapshots...

  First of all, you need to use Shrink VMware Tools or instead using another method to zero free space on the disk for compacting.  In Virtual Machines Windows I use SDelete with the argument - c, then press stop, suspend not and the compact disc I think faster then using VMware Tools shrink.

• Save the VMDK on ESXi - Free Edition?

  Hello. I am running ESXi Hypervisor (latest version) on a HP Server with two internal disks running in a RAID 1 configuration. In other words, there is * no. * SAN or external hard disk in question.

  I use this for a smaller customer. I have a couple of servers virtualized on this configuration.

  What I would do is save it. VMDK file (and all other files needed to run the copied virtual machine) or an other desktop computer running ESXi or a USB external hard drive so that, if the HP server crashed, I could easily put the. VMDK in the right directory and load the operation system Windows Server for my customer.

  I get VSphere, the paid version, this is thanks to its built-in features, i.e., VMotion, etc.. I'm doing this work with the free ESXi.

  My question is, does anyone know of software that will:

  1. either save the VMDK and other necessary files on a basis that is timed to another computer or device.

  and/or

  2. save the VMDK in real-time as well as to the * all time * the second VMDK file is updated and ready to go?

  I check with Veritas to see if their software for it. I did copy a VMDK today as a test and admit that I'm perplexed as to how it works.

  How can I copy a VMDK is used and running an Active Server? My boyfriend and I thought that this has something to do with a "shadow copy" effect of some sort. If someone wants to explain that I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  You can use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 to create clones of virtual machines on a calendar. Many/most/nearly every commercial application requires access to the VMware APIs that are not available with the free hypervisor. Packages such as Platespin and Doubletake which could reproduce between readers, but could cost more that you could want. You can use tools like rsysnc that can replicate themselves, but not sure you would have a totally consistent replica. A regular clone would probably be the best option by using the script free ghetto.

• difference in size of VMDK

  Hello

  I have a question about the size of the vmdk file. I've set up a disc Dynamics 40 GB and installed Vista Sp2 x 64 Home Premium. Space used within Windows is 22.9 GB. But the vmdk 29.9 (see attached photo).

  I compacted the vmdk in the options of the player, but the size has not reduced. Why is the 7 largest GB vmdk?

  Best regards

  System:

  Windows7 Ultimate Sp1 x 64-German

  AMD Phenom II X 4 945 3 GHz - 4 hearts

  8 GB DDR3 1333 RAM

  Radeon HD 5770 1 GB

  Samsumg F3 1 TB

  VMWare Player 3.1.4 build-385536

  Free space on the file system of the client must first be cancelled and this is normally done using the retractable function, which the two zeros out of free space and the Covenants of VMware Tools in the guest operating system when supported otherwise another method of zeroing on the free space should be done before using the Compact command.

• Increase in size of data store ESXi after increasing the size of the LUN

  Hi all

  Scenario is as follows.

  Remote site with Dell r710 ESXi 4.1 servers 2, 1 Dell MD3200i SAN with 12 600 GB drives.

  Initially when I implemented the San, I created 2 LUNS with 1 TB in each LUN.

  Now, we ran into a situation where we have 1 server which is now need more than 1 TB of sapce on it.

  I've reconfigured the table and now have a unit number logic that I spent in 2 TB to 1 TB and I now need to increase the store of data on the ESX Server.

  If I increase the size he reformatted the LUN whole or just the free space that I create?

  I don't want to remove any exisitng s VM on the SAN.

  maximum size of a vmfs is 2 TB-512 b only. extend wouldn't format the LUNS. Look at this blog: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/26/resizing-your-vmfs-the-right-way-exploring-the-next-version-of-esxvcenter/

• free vSphere Datastore space and the differences in size of VMDK

  I am listing and sizes VM reports and the amount of space they take on their related data storage. I used PowerCLI to capture this information and have issued the following command to retrieve the data store size and free space: Get-data store. Returns a name, quality and free space. Then, I want to see the size of the VMDK on these data stores using the: Get-Datastore. Get - VM | Get-hard drive. This returns the size VMDK in KB and after you convert in the UK, I sum up the totals and calculate space to subtract from the total size of the data warehouses. I have a lag in information in free space. For example:

  Name FreeSpaceMB CapacityMB

  vSphere 1 63634 511744 storage

  vSphere 2 60576 511744 storage

  The data that I get of you add up all the VMDK located on these two stores of data then subtracting total capacity does not equal free space above. I did this on our entire VM infrastructure and continue to run on this issue. The VMDK must reside somewhere, so why they bring two different digits? Is there a any correlation between the VMDK size and free space? Often my data are disabled by nearly a terabyte.

  In this case less than 50 GB, remember to file vswp, etc.

  But sometimes report is simply wrong in vSphere Client, you can get accurate information in the service console.

• investigating the slot sizes and ESX and ESXi 4 4 classic

  I was looking for to set the AP following advanced settings option:

  das.slotCpuInMHz

  das.slotMemInMB

  The reason why because that I don't use of tickets in a few groups of ESX host, but I don't want the slot by default size to use.  So I have a cluster of the armies of ESXi4 and went in the advanced options of the AH and set these parameters, and when I go under Advanced tab LENGTH info summary of cluster slots have clearly changed.  When I try to do the same process on a classic cluster ESX 4, by adding in the settings for the advanced options of the AH, nothing changes in the advanced performance info.  It's as if the settings do not work with ESX classic 4.  These functions only work on ESXi 4 and not ESX 4 classic?

  You can change the size of the slot, but be careful with these settings. Think twice before you edit and do not set a level of memory.

  This is the very good detailed explanation how it works: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/vmware-high-availability-deepdiv/

• Rename a VMDK in ESXi

  I have a virtual machine which contained several hard drives. I deleted (but not deleted) a couple of them as I would like to rename them. I've connected to an area of ESXi console, press Alt + F1, typed not supported and got access to a shell. I browsed to the directory on the SAN, where the virtual machine in question. From this directory, I typed:

  vmkfstools EI vmname_3.vmdk vmname_1.vmdk

  I get the following error: unable to rename 'vmname_3.vmdk': the system cannot find the specified file (25)

  If I'm doing a 'ls', I see the file. My goal is to the vmname_3.vmdk file and rename it vmname_1.vmdk. No idea why it does not work? The file names are all lowercase, in case you're wondering.

  ETA: I tried the same command w / full paths & get the same exact error.

  -AA

  Assuming you are looking at the file descriptor. You can manually change the name in the descriptor and change all file names to match. You may mess up the file.

  You can mount the drive in another virtual machine?
