• 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 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.

• 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

  Hello

  Ideally, this error message indicates that your processor does not support the against hepatitis a (hardware support for virtualization)function.

  Cause:

  Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode are supported only on computers whose CPUs are the HAV feature is enabled. Therefore, if your processor does not support the functionality of HAV or if this feature is disabled, you cannot start the virtual machines in Windows Virtual PC.

• 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.

• Size of the disk is impossible to pass

  Hello.

  I just upgraded to VMWare Fusion 4, and at the same time I found with a full disk in my Windows XP VM.

  The VM disk is 25 GB in size, when I try to increase the size of the disk in preferences, it only let me increase the size of a minimum of 232 GB (and up to 2 TB)

  Not sure if this is relevant, booking within the virtual machine image (Show package) glad there are 118 files hard, most of them are 32 KB in size, with s104 to s117 that are 2 GB.

  It is an ancient VM I had with me forever... I wonder how can I increase the size to say 30 GB, without having to waste 232 GB!

  Thank you

  This looks like a Boot Camp partition imported Virtual Machine and if it's take a look at my answer Re: counterintuitive VMWare Instructions on resize virtual disk.

  Anyway, you can use a third-party utility to expand drive C: in the unpartitioned space.

• 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:

  Hello

  I recommend you to run the check disk (chkdsk). To do this, follow the steps below:

  a. press Windows key + X.

  b. open a window prompt administration commands.

  c. at the command prompt, type the following command.

  Chkdsk volume: / f/r

  Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

  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.

• Increase the size of the disk in VMWare Workstation - VM Workstation 6.5.1

  The host is a QuadCore computer with 32-bit XP Prof. SP2

  The guest is a Windows 2008 x 64 Enterprise Edition.

  I use VM preinstalled 6.5.1 build - 126130.  I originally created a virtual hard drive of 30 GB to start with and after loading all my software finished consuming 29 GB.  I deleted all snapshots and shrunk the VHD.  Defragemented - I could not recover any space by following the steps above.

  The next step, I have increased the size of 40 GB using the following command:

  VMware-vdiskmanager - x 40 GB "F:\VM\Windows2008_SQL2005_MOSS2007_64bit.vmdk".

  Now, I noticed an increase as part of the Virtual Machine to 40 GB, but the virtual machine itself shows that the space used is 29 GB and I have 1 GB left.  When I try to install more software on virtual, I get an error message that there is not enough space to move forward.

  Is there something that I'm missing or do I need a fix / patch that I'm missing?

  Thanks for your time.

  You must resize the file inside the VM system.

  DiskPart should do the trick.
