• Why can't I reduce the file size of virtual disk?

  Workstation help 8.0.4, why is the file size of virtual disk for my more bigger than the amount of space used within the instance instance?

  The instance (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) HARD drive is 40 GB... He is currently using 28.6 GB of this space.

  But the hard for instance file is 34.5 GB size - it is more than 20% larger.

  I defragmented the drive on the instance.

  I defragmented and compacted file hard (via the 'vmware-vdiskmanager' command line utility)

  I defragmented the host drive.

  Any not really - I'm just curious as to why I can't get it down to a smaller size (mainly to speed up backups)

  Narrowing of a virtual disk is done in two steps. Unused disk space must first be cancelled in the comments, what OS, then blocks not null the hard are copied to a new file hard. With VMware Workstation 8, you can start this process in the VMware Tools window (right-click the icon in the system tray)

• What is the maximum size of virtual disk in machines virtual esxi 4.0

  I am trying to create a virtual disk to a virtual machine, I want to make the size of the 300 GB disk but its not allowing to create.

  Can I know what is the maximum size of virtual disk, we can create in machines virtual esxi 4.0 with vmfs3 partition

  
  

  The maximum size of the virtual disk that you can use depends on the size of the selected block when formatting of the data store. With the default of 1 MB block size, the maximum size of virtual disk on a VMFS-3 datastore is ~ 256MB.

• Bigger than the screen info?

  Since the last update download information is larger than the size of the screen.

  How can I adjust and fix the problem?

  Adjust the resolution of your screen. Select the native resolution (recommended). See how it works then adjust downwards until you are satisfied.  You can also change the font size in windows. in search, type "Display". need you a screen with a slider to change the size of the font. It comes to Windows 7?

• 'Save for Web' vector adapts to the bigger than the jury of art?

  Heya,

  In the past, if I wanted a vector drawing to save for Web to a different size I create a new Council of art to a larger size, copy the drawing and it intensified. Then save for web, this new work plan.

  However I have noticed that I can increase the Save for the size of the Web image at greater than the size of the artboard - this automatically to vector drawings scale? Or he will zoom just in a raster image?

  It seems scaling vectors, which is great and will allow me to save a lot of time, but I wanted to check?

  Thank you

  Theo,

  You get as well a raster by definition x pixel image size in pixels in the window to the size of the Image.

  This is also where you can check Art (or Type, whichever is more relevant) optimized.

• Larger than the size of provisioned storage disk space

  I use vSphere 4.1.0. I have a Windows Server 2003 guest that I put in service for two hard disks of 80 GB and 250 GB, both thick. When I look at the settings, this is what I see. However, looking at the summary comments that it is said ' provisioned storage: 652 GB "and which seems to be what is used on the physical disk. Any ideas on what is happening here?

  As you can see on the screenshot you have 4 files of virtual disks (hard). Two of them are basic disks (those without "-000001" in their names) and the other two are instant. Given that the provisioned size is empty for basic virtual disks, presumably they are thick save provisioned and is to delete the snapshots in snapshot Manager. Just create a new snapshot (to activate the button 'Clear all') and then click on 'Delete All' which will consolidate the existing snapshots, regardless of whether or not they appear in the Snapshot Manager.

• The initialization of the swap file to virtual disk periodically (40% of the time +/-) fails to start Windows

  Greetings-

  For the past year or so I put my Windows 7 32-bit, 8 GB RAM system to initialize the page automatically on a virtual disk file (in order to reduce the physical disk reads/writes and to speed up the access to the page files).

  Here's how I set up: I installed Dataram Ramdisk and configured to use memory beyond 4 GB (which, as everyone here knows, 32-bit Windows can not otherwise use) as the ramdisk.  In setting up manually formatted the 4 GB unallocated space virtual drive as an NTFS volume and it gave the letter a: (what else!). Then I got the software save an image file of the ramdisk formatted my hard drive F:. Additional configuration of the software wants to initialize the virtual disk to start and immediately copy the image file to the virtual disk, thus creating a 4 GB NTFS formatted volume a:. (Incidentally, I also use the virtual disk to the cache of the browser and the print spooler). The theory here is flawless. But to make it work in practice, the virtual disk must be initialized and the image file copied into ramdisk (making it a formatted disk R :) front Windows initializes the pagefile.

  It runs about 60% of the time, but for the remaining 40 percent Windows gives an error message indicating that Windows has created the page file in a temporary location (it's always the C: drive, the pagefile in general where default.). The only reasonable explanation I see why it fails is that, for nearly 40% of my computer boots window wants to initialize the page file before the ramdisk is ready to receive. What I don't understand is why that happens.

  This happen to my main question: is it possible to control the Windows boot sequence so that the ramdisk is initialized and the filename of the image copied to him on a basis consistent before Windows wants to initialize the page file? Operationally, I guess it boils down to whether it is possible, during each startup sequence, to delay initialization of the page files or to move the virtual boot record earlier in the sequence. If so, how to do that? If not, can someone explain why the order of the respective boots usually works, but does not reach a good amount as well?

  Ideas on this would be appreciated.

  Create a small paging file to 20 MB on the boot volume (the partition where the Windows files are installed) this way the session manager will be able to start the Windows session and create additional paging files without complaining.  You can have more than one paging on several disks, Windows will favour the less busy the disk paging file.

• How do you get the path of the data store or the URL of a virtual disk in vRealize Orchestrator?

  I need to eager zero a virtual disk while building a virtual machine. I found the eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task() under VcVirtualDiskManager function, which takes in 2 parameters:

  name - (String) the name of the disk, is a path to the data store or a URL pointing to the virtual disk that needs to be inflated.

  Data Center - (VcDatacenter) if the name is a path of data store, the data center for the path of the data store. Not necessary when called directly on ESX. If not specified on a call to VirtualCenter, the name must be a URL.

  How can I get the correct path of data store given the virtual disk? I intend to iterate through the features of the virtual machine to get the disks.

  Thank you!

  Actually figured out how to get the path of the data store, and how a drive zeros. In case it is useful to share the code here:

  var vimHost = vm.vimHost; VM instanceof VCVirtualMachine

  var vDiskMgr = vimHost.virtualDiskManager;

  for each disk

  var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

  for each {(dev var in devices)

  dev.backing contains a lot of useful things...

  If (dev instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}

  a disc!

  var dsPath = dev.backing.fileName;

  System.log ("path of disk:" + dsPath);

  Data var Center =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.datastore').getDatacenterForDatastore (dev.backing.datastore);

  var vcTask = vDiskMgr.eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task (dsPath, datacenter);

  wait

  var waitResult =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.basic').vim3WaitTaskEnd (vcTask, true, 5);

  }

• Failed to retrieve the info on drive & virtual disk service

  I did research all day for the solution to this irritating problem!
  I get upgraded my Eee PC (it has system requirements) of Windows XP Home Edition - Service Pack 3 for Windows 7 Starter.
  Whenever I try to install the OS, this message always appears at the top:

  Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.

  I found that many people have solved this by activating the virtual disk Service and by assigning the value automatic. My problem is that I don't have such a service on my computer. The WIS IS NOT in the list.
  I tried Googling on how to install the service, but I simply find the answer.

  If anyone has a solution to my problem, that would be greatly appreciated!

  Starter is not available in the trade. Go to Home Premium or Professional. See also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799282 (WS.10) .aspx Frenchie

• Increase the size of a virtual disk prealloue?

  I have created a virtual machine with a 20 GB preallocatred, persistent virtual disk because "I'm sure it will be a big enough...". "Unfortunately, I'm going to need to increase this if possible and I'm dreading to rebuild a new one from scratch.  All the options in the EDIT hard training in server 2.0 are not available (grayed out).

  Is there a way to expand this virtual machine?  I may have the image with 3rd party tools and restoration?  All options are appreciated!
