Size of raw local disk

I will implement an ESX environment shortly with 3 servers and a San iScsi for storage. Accordingly, what considerations to do with the configuration of the local server disk. We have up to 10 VM by Project Server and need to know how much physical disk space, server will be necessary? Is a 2 disk mirror or should I RAID. CPU are 2 dual core with 24GO by UC

Thanks in advance

If your storage all the vm of the images on the go the local disk subsystem does not need massive IOPS / s.     If I read the original post, it looks like your planning serve the SAN shared storage on the backend, which is where all the IOPS happen as it should.  The front-end server needs memory, so it's not thrash and 24 GB is a good start.  If that's the case then mirrors would be worth to write about the raid with parity prevents him from ever be used as swap.  RAID without parity these days is practically free, and still lets you get bars under him by interlacing.  And with the imprint of esx and esxi especially if small, using a pair of small capacity 2.5 "ssd in each host is always profitable and much more predictable than a pair spindles.  Just stay away from anything without cache on disk or with a jmicron controller

  • Using IMAP, how to reduce the size of local disk? Emails must remain on the IMAP server.

    Problem:
    My local disk is full (even with compacting emails).

    Condition:
    I use the IMAP protocol and have a lot of emails. I want all emails to stay on the IMAP server.

    Possible solution (that I couldn't know how):
    Only show the emails in Thunderbird.

    My experience:
    Parameter to 'retrieve only messages last 30 days' doesn't change anything (no doubt because the messages are already on the drive).
    Unsubscribe and re - subscribe folders doesn't change anything.

    Any suggestions?

    Yes, I just tried it with a one-time account and, it seems, everything is OK. Messages remain on the server, but there are only a few KB, taken on the local HARD disk.

  • Help local disk drives of switching

    How to move from the local disk (c) to local disk (d :)) (c) is full?)

    Hello

    Some computers have E: as the recovery instead of D partition; to reinstall the OS if necessary, due to the failure of the system or faults

    Click Start > computer to see what size drive E: is and what he says on this subject.

    If she says it's the recovery disk and / or if it is under 15-19GBs it is the recovery partition and you must contact the manufacturer of your computer for assistance with this problem.

    Another reason is there to make you your own set of recovery of the disk. Ask the manufacturer how to.

    If it is not the recovery drive, please after return.

    See you soon.

  • Groups and permissions of the user is added to the local disk post-conversion?

    We currently have a security policy with our Windows servers requiring admins to remove unnecessary security groups and users on the local disks. Basically, the SYSTEM and administrators retain full control, but all other users and groups are deleted for security reasons. We find that during a P2V conversion/clone servers, security groups and users are added to the readers of these new virtual machines (see screenshots below):

    Security before and after conversion. Could this be a function of the sysprep post-conversion tasks that work?

    Until now, we thought that, apart from the usual physical changes inherent to a clone, security remains unchanged. We follow best practices for conversion of these machines (running this as a local administrator account, run this converter installed on the machine, by stopping services as much as possible and so on).

    http://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6174/pre-permissions.pnghttp://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6181/post-permissions.png

    You can compare it to a system where you don't resize volumes, but all other factors are the same?

    If you reduce the size of a hard disk volume during the conversion, it will make a copy of file by file from the source to the destination devices.  We may have to add permissions for the conversion process, but I don't know if it is real.

    If you maintain or increase the size of the hard drive, it is a clone of block level which should be a bit-by-bit copy the source system.

  • ENVY of HP TouchSmart laptop 15: local disk D is not accessible

    My notebook Nr is: E1P04AV

    MODEL: 15 t - j100 ABA
    Rev: 1962-110
    CCDI: 0982110000405E00000320000

    I get this message when I access to 'My PC' and click on Local drive D: "local disk D is not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. »

    This local disk D is partitioned with local disk C. The two units are on SSHD, 1 TB, Seagate asa series drive.

    A 24GO SSHD is also installed with 1 TB HARD drive, but the SSHD is not visible in WIN10 in 'My PC' (or, indeed, it is this local disk D?).

    During each reboot, a message appears: "fix local disk D." But the local disk D does not seek redress.

    I just finished installing WIN10 and spent the day to reinstall all printers, scanners and software (with hindsight, I shudda treated first with this corrupted local disk).

    I'm going to local disk likely damage C which has the OS WIN10 on him (I guess), if I reformat local drive D? I would like to reformat ALCO D drive while in WIN10 (not in dos prompt mode).

    FOR INFO:

    My fingerprint reader has not worked in the month. It stopped working after I installed the update of the driver.

    Until I loaded WIN10, I tried to restore my inoperative SimplePass fingerprint reader by loading the newer driver for that I downloaded updates from the HP driver.

    Immediately after the installation of the driver SimplePass my laptop crashed with the BSOD on reboot.

    Each diagnostic single HP I ran in Mode BIOS says all readers and all components, everything going ON.

    What is happening with SimplePass driver software?

    I called Softex but no direct technical Support was available. I left a message, no one returned my call.

    I took the chance and selected the option "Format". The 'quick format' restored the local drive D.

    Hi Jasonbichard,

    1. what type of drive is D? Is - this another partition on the same disk?

    You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

    a. navigate to the location (username) C:\Users\.
    b. right click on the folder that you want to change the location, and then select Properties.
    c. click on the location tab and change the location to D: drive.

  • Semi-automatic updates of local disk - how?

    Hello!

    What I want to do should be fairly simple, but I have not found the solution quite yet. What I want is for a machine target - with no internet or slow internet - to be able to pull updates from a locally attached disk, but also the internet.

    At this point, I will say that I don't want to apply updates individually or in a batch. One is laborious, and the other is not selective. Here's how I want the updates to work:

    1. the target machine determines the updates to download / apply. Either he finds this information from the Microsoft Update site or catalog stored locally (wsusscn2.cab) updates.

    2 present updates on the local disk are copied and applied.

    3 not present updates on the local drive are downloaded as usual from Microsoft Update by using the internet connection of the machine.

    -*-

    After some googling I found a script that partially accomplishes my aim here:

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387290 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

    Simply, this analysis the wsusscn2.cab file and lists the updates that the machine will have to. It doesn't download or obtain it from a local disk. It is also a script, which is good, but more work I have to learn Windows scripting.

    Another suggested approach running WSUS on a laptop running Windows Server, or even running WSUS on a Windows virtual machine... the two methods seem too complicated for this seemingly simple task. And the two methods require a Windows Server license. Given that this is not intended to be used in the environment domain, but on some PCs to the home user, I'm not like buying Server 2008 ;)

    As I said, I'm sure this must have been done already. I know some 3rd party applications this offline update (now called WSUS offline update) t, for example, but don't wish to not use non-free software from unapproved sources. A MS application would be preferable.

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

    Thanks for any information, that everyone has.

    Hello

    It seems to be a virus called protectfile.vbs or autorun.inf.

    Follow the steps below to remove this virus from your computer.


    MoveOnBoot open

    Go to rename Action-> rename file

    A dialog box opens, select the file. Because these files are hidden files, you will not be able to travel and see. Please enter
     
    Enter "C:\protectfile.vbs" in the section of the file selection.
    Enter "C:\protectfile.html" in the section of the destination file. Enter OK.

    Similarly, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the file 'C:\autorun.inf' and rename the in 'C:\autorun.html '.

    Do not restart your computer. We have implemented moveonboot to rename the .vbs ProtectFile in only one of the disks.

    Repeat step 2 to 5 for each disk. For example, if you have 4 drives on your computer (C, D, E, F), then you will have to rename '.vbs C:\protectfile', 'D:\protectfile.vbs', 'E:\protectfile.vbs' and '.vbs F:\protectfile' 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html' and 'F:\protectfile.html' respectively.

     
    Even renaming file "autorun.inf" in all readers for the corresponding ' autorun.html' files.

    Restart your computer. We have disabled the virus.

    Now we will remove it completely.

    Reopen MoveOnBoot.

    Go to delete Actions-> delete the files

    You will not be able to browse and reach the files. Then click Browse and enter 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html', 'F:\protectfile.html', 'C:\autorun.html', 'D:\autorun.html', 'E:\autorun.html' and 'F:\autorun.html '.

    Restart your computer.

    The steps above should solve the problem for you.
