Space 'By' capacity risk details

Hello

We have an installation vCenter Operations Manager 5.7.1 vanilla however, there seems to be a problem the reportage of "Disk space" in the capacity of the virtual machine.

VCOM/VCOPS reports that we have 0 days of storage remaining, not only that, but we are much more.

We have 428 virtual machines deployed in environment, all the thick put into service. The total available capacity for the environment is 120 TB (FC SAN). All virtual machines have their storage are responsible (i.e. There is no end all provisioning), VCOM, however as we are by 345 VMs and our capacity is only 83 VM. It's just rubbish.

Y at - it a setting or configuratoin one element that I'm missing?

As mentioned, it is a vanilla without changes and about 3 weeks installation, with a value of logging. We have not deployed any VMs since VCOM has been deployed.

Thank you

-Tom

I can't say exactly why this happens, it is perhaps protected by some kind of container where calculation go wrong (most likely you run this report on the subject of the world?). However - you seem to have a great environment. You can modify the policy a bit to see the best results (which did it on our site).

Click on 'View information' "change political default" Configuration. This should give you a pop-up. Go to point 3 a, uncheck the option '-Datastore > disk space, containers"in the column"pay-as-you-go. " The allocation of column is more cautious. If so in demand that allowance are chosen the more restrictive applies. Which is the container to selection Allocation. When checking at the cluster level, this should be good, but an accumulation of several containers (host clustering in datacenter world) will generate results 'false '.

  • is space implemented a risk of running out of space on the data store

    Hello

    We have a Win SBS VM in PROD ESXi 4.1.

    Please help me understand the above figures and advise.

    Thank you.

    Yes exactly. "Configured" means space that is the maximum size that this virtual machine is set to achieve. But in your case, it has not used all the space put into service. But yes, it can reach up to 127 GB.

  • Space capacity useful way off

    Capacity risk details shows that I care by 3 436 VMs in a new cluster that has 21 total to 17 TB of usable capacity.  Buffering value + 20%.  The cluster itself has more than 7 TB of free space.  Anyone know what could be the cause to be so bad?

    You use allocation model, a more conservative estimate, for cpu/mem/disk. For stamps, you have 50% pads for cpu and mem. You also do not have approval for the disk or memory. Basically, they are super conservatives measurements, so much so that I would consider it usually unrealistic (yet you have 50% of buffer for mem, no overcommit and aid allocation model... is not business sense to have all this sitting deliberately unused memory). Run a report of virt mem CAP, or simply go the summary for the cluster/datacenter/world view... you will see where are your constraints. You will find that you need to adjust your config policy to be more realistic given your current % use of your environment... lower your pads, increase your overcommit, or disable alloc model and use ask model... any combination of these will get closer you to the real world.

    What's new:

    More flexibility with capacity planning

    • Capacity Assess risk and plan of distribution and effective demand: define your varied business needs-based strategies to assess the risk of the capacity, efficiency and forecasts. For example, different pads, too commit thresholds of alert, schedules, reports, etc., in production and test-dev environments.

    • New common environments and workloads policies: new policies of out-of-the-box, such as the Production and Test-Dev strategies, enable a quick installation of the capability settings of Operations Manager to vCenter for types of common environments. Additional new out-of-the-box policies, such as batch workload, interactive workload and political to ignore the virtual machines, help to refine the ability of law with precision settings dimensions and analyze different workloads based on their performance characteristics.

    Improved self-monitoring

    This version introduces new diagnostic measures to monitor the health and availability of the components of Operations Manager vCenter, such as analytical, collector, Active MQ, Web server, database, and operating system.

    Widgets with flexibility and ease of use

    • Health Tree Widget: facilitate the visualization for a large number of objects.
    • Generic Widget Scoreboard: graphics support Sparkline, metrics channel and filtering by resource settings.
    • Metric Sparkline Widget: configurable color ranges and units, are supported for the type of resource and the label.
    • The resource widget: customizable to add parameters beyond health.

    VMware vCenter Navigator Infrastructure-filtering capacity

    You can configure display it resources discovered by vCenter Infrastructure Navigator in vCenter Operations Manager. This version introduced a feature of configurable Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter filtering to control the service and Application reporting of Application resources. For each resource type, you can set up a "black list" or "whiteList" filtering in the filterList.txtconfiguration file.

    • black list: the Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter ignores the specified entries. If a name of Service Application or an Application name is included in the "black list", it is not reported by the adapter to Infrastructure Navigator vCenter. It is the default setting. The Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter filters unknown names of default Application services.
    • white list: Infrastructure Navigator vCenter adapter reports only the specified entries. If there are no entries added to the white list mode, none of the resources of the resource type matching appear.

    Hi all

    Couple of queries on which we need your suggestions:

    1. the need to change the following code in this script #:


    VM disk space - less than x MB -


    ".

    We have some partitions (say by example/Boot 100 MB) which does not require this control. Can we exclude these scores report but keep the control over the rest of the partitions.

    2. in executing the code below in the section:

    1. -Virtual Center details-

    #If ($ShowVCDetails) {}

    1. Writing-CustomOut «...» Audit Services of VC"

    The script always username and password request which can be a problem if the script is planned. If I see that it generates a file of credentials at first, somehow I feel its not to read this file. Can we eliminate the login prompt?

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Sorry to hear that.

    For your first question, you could fit the part on "VM Disk Space - less than x MB" like this

                   If (($MyCollection | Measure-Object).count -gt 0) {

              }
    

    All the paths of the $doNotReport disc will not appear in the report.

    You can check if the script creates the file identification information (default emplacement.\MyCred.crd) during the first inning?

    On the next run, the script should be picking up the credentials of this file (if it exists).

  • Info volume cRIO 9030 to connected USB drive

    I want to display the available disk space for a USB stick plugged into a cRIO-9030 running Linux Realtime (path to the drive is/u).  It is a data logging application that can run for a month with users looking only to see that things are run OK, which they won't if disk space wears.  I tried to get information of Volume and the file Info screws, but both give me nonsense values.  It seems that the Volume of information VI get always reports on the internal disk (/ C) any way I use, I can't see how much space I have on the drive/u.  I plugged into different USB drives with different capacities and free amount, but I still get the same values of the VI, which differ from what MAX brings to the reader/c, but are the closest values for this player than anything else.  I also get a useless value of the VI of information from file/Direcory, which seems to be pointing out how many files is at the root of the drive, not its quality or its free space.  Any suggestions about how to get free space and capacity of a USB key connected to the cRIO?

    bjlv

    Odd. I just tried this on my own target RT Linux (running LVRT 2014) and it seems to work as you expect, where to get the Volume information on ' / u ' returns the available space on the Flash DRIVE and is certainly different from what I get from the internal drive. I see a bug (?) where there's just ' / ' was not taken in charge, what should be on Linux:

    / (or/u) u is actually a symbolic link to where the drive is actually mounted as/media/sda1 or/media/sdc1. (/ u is provided as a convenience of compatibility for porting the applications of Phar Lap or VxWorks.) You get the same result using the actual mounting location? You have access to a shell to the target? If so, that shows "df"?

  • How to remove the trash on my computer dell laptop latitude who has windows xp?

    I am an elderly person not at savvy, computer then pls forgive me for asking what may seem like a stupid question. I need to know how to clear the trash on my laptop. It's a Dell latitude Windows xp. And I thank you all in advance for any help rendered on this!

    There are several possibilities.

    If the file is on a network resource or a removable device like a USB key, just delete Deletes without going through the trash.  It sounds like what is happening in your situation (which is your "DVR photo/video plug and play" device?).

    Look carefully at the message when you press the delete key - he probably said, "Are you sure that you want to delete 'Filename'?" rather than "Are you sure that you want to send 'filename' in the trash?

    Another, less likely, causes:

    If the file is too large, you should get a message saying that the file will not fit in the trash and delete will delete everything without moving to the trash.  I don't think that I've never seen a 'too big' file is to be deleted without the warning message.

    What is "too big"?  By default, the Recycle Bin is set at 10% of the size of your disk (partition).  If you go into my computer, you will see different drives displayed.  In general, you will use 'drive Local (c) '.  If you right-click on this icon and select Properties, you will see the used space, free space and capacity.  Your trash for this default player is 10% of the 'capacity' - but with a catch: he will not exceed 3.99 GB no matter how great the drive.

    You can see the actual amount of the space allocated to the trash by clicking right on it and then select Properties.  Depending on the number of drives in your computer, you can see several tabs here, including a 'Global' tab and one for each individual unit.

    A more even less likely cause:

    In addition to size, the Recycle Bin properties tabs also have a box that says "do not move files to the Recycle Bin.  Delete the files when they are deleted immediately.  I doubt that you have this box checked, because then the behavior you describe should occur for all files, not just some of them.

  • Unable to read the security descriptors data stream

    Whenever I start my computer runs CHKDSK - it says checking file system on E: and then he said that it should be checked for consistency. It works until stage 3 when he says 'impossible to read the security descriptors data stream' how to fix this?

    I tried chkdsk e:/r and it runs before step 3 when I get the "unable to read the security descriptors data stream" and it goes no further.

    I also tried fsutil dirty query e:- but it says something about a parameter incorrect and not if the volume is dirty or clean.

    Then I tried chkdsk e:/f/x - that always gives me the same mistake about it being an incorrect setting.

    As far as I know there is absolutely nothing on E:, I didn't even know that there was an additional drive. Right now I have it turned off so that I can use my computer. It seems to work fine without it. I read an article that said that if I can't fix e: with chkdsk which I have to do a low-level format of the reader? What's my next step? And I can do without the XP disc?

    The syntax

    fsutil dirty query e:

    is correct (except, of course, you try to use from the Recovery Console, where the fsutil command is not available).  Are you logged on as a user with administrative rights when you use fsutil?

    Similarly, the switches /f and/x are not available for chkdsk in the Recovery Console.

    See Recovery Console controls.

    Click on desktop then right-click on E: drive icon and select Properties.  What is indicated for:

    • File system
    • Space used
    • Free space
    • Capacity

    Now double click the icon for E: are shown files?  If not, click Tools > Folder Options > view and select the radio button "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected files (recommended) operating system.  Now that you see all the files?

    Everything you read 'low level of shaped' is nonsense.  Any modern PC drive cannot be low level formatted by end users.  You can read this, but there is really no necessary even to "zero fill" your drive E: http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=203931 (I have not checked to see if the WD tools rescuer has similar characteristics to SeaTools for DOS).

    If you are convinced that there is nothing of value on E (for example, installation of backup or restore), you can either format by right-clicking on the drive icon in my computer and selecting "format" or you can start disk management as described previously and use either in electronic format or delete the partition completely.  If you delete the partition, space becomes "unallocated".

    Because I guess C is your system drive (where Windows is), you may be able to use the diskpart tool to extend the partition F to use the unallocated space left if you decide to remove E well it's much easier (and safer) to do with disk management third-party tools such as Easeus Partition Manager free : http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm

  • Nightly rollup error - bad record has been read

    Performance of AA 5.4.3 with the latest service pack. Received this error while the accumulation of every night was happening to one of our groups:

    CompleteAdding cannot be used at the same time as additions to the collection. Repository error: incorrect record was read. The repository can be unavailable or corrupted

    The repository is not full.  I've been slowly down the space used by delaying the totals for a few days to let the deletions to run.  Finally, I ran a check for deposit this weekend.

    ROLLUP still work although there is now only a rollup thread that runs instead of two.

    I intend running a check for deposit when the update rollup is complete.  Anyone have any ideas on the issue.

    Hi Alpha162,

    Thanks for your question.  Incorrect records / corruption should not occur only from repository space dipping below 10 percent but becomes less free space increases the risk of failure of task such as rollup and repository maintenance tasks.  Over time this could have a negative effect, so the 10% guideline is a notice to allow customers to extend the repository, archive data on or apply a stricter retention policy.  10% is a figure of the right orientation to watch in all of your deposits and AppAssure SMTP alerts can be a great help with this.

    Broader patterns of corruption can vary considerably, but interrupted rollup jobs because of unexpected stops or connectivity between the heart and the repository issues are common problems.   Another frequent problem can be environmental issues.  The speed of the underlying disk where the repository is very, very important.  Repositories based NAS suffer more problems that directly attached storage, often when the design limits have been exceeded or praising the memory is too small.

    The current version of 5.4.3.106 has been very stable, so I hope that your current experiences were better.  I'm a big supporter also approach "backup backup" and have a core of replica or archive (cloud or disk) can be a huge advantage to complete a standard basic configuration.

  • ESXi 5.5 local RDM is greater than 2 TB

    I recently added a set of 3 TB WD red SATA disks to an ESXi 5.5u2 host and set up their physical compatibility as cards attached to a guest Windows Server 2012 gross. These discs appeared as having a capacity of 512 b and the space unallocated on 16EB:

    If I take out discs, connect them to a physical host while I'm able to put a GPT disks and add a volume using Windows storage spaces. Once more attached to the ESXi host they work very well, although records show the same space of capacity / free.

    Looking around, I see that others have encountered this problem, without any resolution:
