• Get the size of the disk of the virtual computer

  Hello!

  As I learned to extend a drive partition, I note that when you run the cmdlet, the total size of the disk is necessary.

  Is it possible to give only the difference between the actual size and the size future? IF I want to extend a 40 GB drive, I have to give, at the request of the cmdlet 45 GB info if I want to expand to 5 GB. Is there a way to only put the information in a way to hide the value 45 GB or 5 GB?

  I'll post more information later. pls ask if there is any doubt. TKS

• Cannot expand the size of the disk

  I'm coverting a VMware machine that created via VMWare Player 3.0. It's a Windows 7 VM 15 GB. I made this ttimes number but for some reason any on this virtual machine I don't have the option to extend the size of the disk. Usually, there is a fall downwards according to the size of the disk where I enter the number to Go to the new size of disk, but there is no list drop-down option. Currently there are 1.5 free space on this virtual machine. Ideas?

  the exapnd utility will expand the HARD disk you selected, not add another drive.  In Windows, you have unallocated space at the end of the partition, you can then use disk management to extend the volume.

• Increase the size of the disk in the guest OS

  I have a virtual machine that is only 10 GB in size of the disk.

  I allocated more space SAN to the VM, but I need allow the guests to see the extra space.

  What is the best way to achieve this?

  I'm under vSphere... and I have more than 1 VM I want change, running win2k and win2k3

  I have a virtual machine that is only 10 GB in size of the disk.

  I allocated more space SAN to the VM, but I need allow the guests to see the extra space.

  I guess this means you increased the size of the virtual disk in the virtual machine settings.

  After having developed the virtual disk, the new size should be reflected in Windows Disk Manager.

  What is the best way to achieve this?

  To do this the same way as you would on a physical system. Depending on what partition you want to expand, you can use the integrated Windows "diskpart" or any other tool of the 3 - rd party like extpart, gparted, Partition Magic...

• Size of the disk for guest Win Server 2008 R2 can be reduced?

  I have a thick provisioned 100GB size I want to reduce to 60 GB. The guest operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2. Does anyone have an experience by reducing the size of the disk with this guest operating system?

  I saw comments on the use of the converter to reduce the size of the disk, but the last Converter Standalone Client does not seem to support Windows Server 2008 R2.

  I tried to convert the virtual machine to a model and then to deploy a new virtual machine for the model too, but if I do that I'm still not able to change the size of the disk.

  The guest operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2. Does anyone have an experience by reducing the size of the disk with this guest operating system?

  VM converter can do.

• reduce the size of the disk

  I have P2V one of the servers. The original size of the disk is 180 GB - vmdk. in Windows, there are 2 partitions. supposly delete one partition I can use converter to reduce the disk?

  any other tips?

  It is C: - drive OS...

  I use the conversion tool and change the settings to change the size of the disk. You can use the conversion on the already converted machine tool. The source and destination can be the same host but new name of the guest.

• Help with report VM (name MemoryMB NumCPU, data store, total size of the disk)

  I currently have a script (listed below) to the CR of query for each virtual computer and their allocated disks. The problem with the script is that when he meets a VM with disks on several data only stores the first data store is listed in the report. However, the total size of the disk is correct.

  Any ideas to fix this?

  $datastoreExp = @{N = "Datastore"; E = {($_ | get-datastore | select-object-1 premier).} Name}}

  $diskSizeExp = @{N = "Total disk"; E = {($_ | get-harddisk | mesure-objet-propriété CapacityKB-somme).} Sum}}

  Get - vm | Select the name MemoryMB NUmCPU, $datastoreExp, $diskSizeExp | Sort - property datastore, "Total disc | Export-Csv C:\Scripts\Reports\chargeback.csv

  I thought that was what you wanted, judging by your examples.

  In any case, no problem, the following should do the trick.

  
  $dsRegEx = [regex]"\[(\w+)\]"
  $report = @()
  get-vm | % {
       $vm = $_
      $vm.HardDisks | %{
            $row = "" | Select Name,MemoryMB,NUmCPU, Datastore, "Total Disk (Gb)"
            $row.Name = $vm.Name
            $row.MemoryMb = $vm.MemoryMb
            $row.NumCpu = $vm.NumCpu
            $row.Datastore = $dsRegEx.Match($_.Filename).Groups[1].Value
            $row.{Total Disk (Gb)} = "{0:N}" -f ($_.CapacityKB / 1Mb)
            $report += $row
       }
  }
  $report | sort -property Name, datastore,"Total Disk" |Export-Csv "C:\chargeback.csv" -noTypeInformation
  

  Since there are sometimes problems with the display of the hooks I have attached the script.

• If the size of the disk recovery is asking more than the flash player?

  I have laptop vaio with windows 8 inside. I want to create a recovery disk. He said that the flash drive must have 32 GB of space. but he has only 29.5 GB. will this be a problem? I really need to check the "copy of the recovery partition from the pc on the recovery disk? What happens if I don't? It starts to create the recovery with low memory drive? I'm totally confused. & I don't know much about PCs.

  Hello

  What is the full error you receive when you try to create the recovery disk?

  If you have an OEM computer comes with Windows 8 preinstalled, you can also check the box to copy the contents of the recovery disk recovery partition to be able to use the USB key recovery to restore the factory Windows 8.

  The size required for the USB drive create a disc of Windows 8 recovery actually depends on the size of the recovery image Windows 8, which is stored on a dedicated PC recovery partition. This on the PC recovery Partition is generally 3 to 6 GB in size.

  Windows 8 includes a built-in tool for creating a recovery USB disk and while creating this recovery USB drive, Windows considers the size of partition recovery on your computer and will let you know what is the recovery partition, so that you can use a USB to a larger size. For more information, please refer to this article:

  Create a recovery USB disk

  Hope this information helps. If the problem persists, we will be happy to help you.

• Cannot change the size of the disk of one of my VM

  Hello

  I use VMCloud to manage the virtual machines for my team. For couple of virtual machines, I am unable to change the size of the disc while reconfiguration. Note that these virtual machines are the clone of one of the other virtual machines.

  

  Please suggest.

  Thank you and best regards,

• vRO presentation: return the total size of the disk of the virtual machine

  Hi guys,.

  I have a catalog item to extend a drive, which is presented to the vRA advanced services and picks up the vRO workflow. For this reason, the default IaaS vRA no between not affecting resource management. So I would limit the end-users to a maximum size of the virtual machine - that is to say, if the size + total size they intended to expand is > to a specific size, then the workflow will report this.

  I wrote the following code to return the total of all the disks that are attached to a machine. Then, it comes to the tab Presentation vRO to fill the discs max value. It works fine when I use the code as a workflow and connect the output. However, vRO presentation does not return a value any. Anyone had similar problems or I made a stupid mistake and missed something?

  var total = 0;

  size var = new Array();

  var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

  var h = 0;

  for (var i in devices) {}

  If (devices [i] instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}

  size [h +] = [i] devices, .capacityInKB / 1024 / 1024;

  Total += devices [i] .capacityInKB / 1024 / 1024;

  }

  }

  return to the total;

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Thank you

  resolved - used the wrong presentation vRO variable. Had to use rather than answer pre-defined data binding

• How to increase the maximum size of the disk commissioning

  Hello

  I wanted to increase the size of the hard drive of one of our virtual machine but the maximum is 256 GB and I can't go any further. Is there a way to increase the maximum, so I can develop?

  We use ESXi 5.5 on a single physical server and use vSphare to manage. There are 300 GB of free space in the data store.

  can you please help

  

  Thank you

  Alexander

  Hi Caroline and welcome on VMware communities!

  It seems that your data store is in the old format VMFS3.  To create virtual disks greater than 256 GB in size, you will need to follow the instructions in upgrading warehouses VMFS3 to VMFS5.  (Further reading: VMware KB: block the size of a VMFS data store limitations.)

  See you soon,.

  How to decrease the maximum size of 150 GB to 75GB?

  You have more then a few options and to name a few...

  Make an Image, like a ghost Image and drive him back a smaller.

  Add a smaller disk to the virtual machine and the Image directly from one to the other, and then exchange the smallest to the largest.  Ghost and that too.

  Use any other third-party utility to perform the foregoing.

  Zero free space on the existing drive and then reduce it (if VMware Tools are installed automatically retractable function zeros space free first) then resize the virtual partition to a smaller size, leaving half of it unpartitioned.  This prevents the drive to grow larger then the size of the new virtual partition size.  The dynamic (non-destructive) resizing can be done with a software like GParted Live.

• Size of the disk system comments more

  Hello - looked through the FAQ and found the answer to this question. If I missed this point just me to a resource if it is a pain I tell myself that this has probably been asked before.

  I'm under vmware version 3.1.3

  Space for comments system has been upgraded with 40 GB. I was getting messages that I was running out of space of previous system disk, dumped some files and I saw free space on system of vm disk to grow as as expected.

  Since then, traveling abroad, I have a need to empty a few photos, etc. I want to grow the VM disk space if it has increased by stopping the prompt. Then I went to VM hard drive tool has slipped to the bar to resize to 140 GB, filled time I restarted the prompt, but that he does not see its system disk space increase. Stop the VM/comments down then went to the VM disk and checked the case tool to pre-allocate and let that complements.

  Restarted the guest and still don't see the VM system disk with the any added space.

  Someone can direct me to the right process to increase the comments/VM system drive so that I can increase the amount of available space or let me know what I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  OK, didn't post screenshots. Wanted to take the time and review everything first. I managed has increased the size of the virtual disk to 140 GB, and it is seen by the Windows operating system. Windows now detects this virtual drive as 140 GB. The virtual machine still sees as 40 GB.

  Now, I want to increase the size of the existing VM/comments system drive sector, so he can use it.

  I did some research and found this method and have the intention to use steps 2 and 3 to change the BIOS, start it newly created iso CD/Gparted and runs from there.

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-9765

  If there is a better/more method that will allow me to increse/increase the size of the virtual disk sector please let me know.

  It is an old document obsolete and has been replaced by: resizing of the ramdisks with step by step Instructions

  However to resize a virtual hard disk is at least a two-step process.  First increase the size of the virtual hard drive through its settings and then second is to increase the file system partition.

• Size of the disk is cut drastically after heavy restructuring

  After erasing the empty blocks the number of blocks is down by 10%, showing that the empty blocks were existing in the database. Total size at this time of. PAG file remains constant (before and after clearing the empty blocks).
  
  We did a restructuring of the database, the number of blocks has remained constant, but the. File PAG has drastically reduced to less than 50%.
  
  We try to understand why would be a reduction of 10% of block is casuing the reduction in size of 50% disc.
  
  
  
  Thanks for your contributions!

  The .pag file contains a free space, not only the one left by CLEARBLOCK VACUUM, but also where blocks have been changed and no longer match into their original slot (so Essbase is expanding the .pag file to adapt to their return elsewhere). For example, if a block is taking 2K on the disk, but you will load additional data, the imprint of the block on the disk may increase to 3 K. Essbase cannot fit it into its original 2K location, so it leaves this 2K of the .pag file empty segment (at least for the moment) and 3K elsewhere.

  Only the database restructuring physically free space.
