Storage concerns (new user of VMware)

Hello

I'm pretty new in the VM world and I need a little help.  I am running EXSi 5.1 free edition.  I currently have Windows Server 2008 r2 VM running.  I tried to give him a 750 GB of disk space, but when I look in sub summary of the resources tab it shows he has TB 1.58 configured and 874 GB of storage you use.  The data store 925 GB with 61 GB free.  I thought that I should only be close with 750Go who.  The other day the VM could not load the swap file or and I had to remove a former test VMby the navigation data store.

I want to just make sure that I have not run out of space.  If the server goes down I'm afraid that we will lose access to the files.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  If you need more instructions than me please let me know.

Thank you

Justus

Looks like you got your drive C: and its about 7 GB in size atm configuration.  This player is dc01.vmdk.  After that, it seems that you have two snapshots that have grown a lot.  These are the dc01.000001 and dc01.00002.vmdk.  Orders, it seems that you have built your VM DC01 and almost straight after taking a snapshot, then some time later took another screenshot.

You must never run off shots for long periods of time they grow quickly because they are tracking all changes as the snapshot occurred.  That is why your snapshot is 110 GB in size.  Snapshots should be used as a precautionary measure before the changes and then Committee to, once the changes are considered to be 'OK '.  Snapshots can interrupt your data store if they fulfill completely prevent other VM to free space.

I hope this helped, if you have any other questions please let me know.

    Hi all

    Looking for a help and advice for a rookie to vmware

    We have just purchsed 3 x DL380 G8 each with 8 x 1 TB HARD drive no storage shared, and we are currently approved for most part more packs 2 x.

    What I wanted to do was to reproduce some VM so if one breaks down then we can either manually or automatically start another on another host. I'd like to reproduce our exchange 2010 essentially server but that is currently on the phyiscal material and I would need to first do a P2V conversion. I also read a few negative articles on running exchange on a virtual computer.

    I had read a little and looks like FT is outside the quetsion because of having not shared storage in place and there is also the limitation of 1vcpu. So I was wondering where to start really. For any tips, pointers, etc. will be very much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Commissioning of new users on TC6.2 CLI

    Hi all

    We use CUCM for provisioning where as far as I know, all users, except admin, should be configured manually to form endpoints.

    Would it not possible to supply new users through endpoints TC6.2 CLI. Currently we are able to add users only via the Web interface in "Configuration > User Administration > add a new user...". ».

    I crossed Administrator's guide and the guide to the API and found nothing on this subject. Can someone help me?

    Ondrej salvation,

    Currently, it is not possible to create the users of TC endpoints from the web interface. Cisco has even removed the 'adduser' from the root so CLI command. So it's really not possible.

    If you really need to add users from the web interface, I suggest you to raise a feature request.  =)

  • Add a new user through Host profiles

    Hi guys,.

    I was wondering if anyone knows if I create a new user on a single ESXi host and use this host as my host of reference for a profile of the host. If the new user is contained in the profile of the host, and every time the profile is applied it will be applied to all other ESX host?

  • New user created does not all data in reports

    Hi all

    I use Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1. I have a problem when I created a new user in the system through shared Services. Reports are reports and analysis reports.

    I have reproduced a current user of the system and applied the same groups and provisions. However, the new user may not display all the data in the reports. However, the current user is able to do. I'm quite literally baffled.

    The existing user has been given to the provision of "Planner". In addition, the existing user has dimension security applied as well. It works very well with the existing user, as when I connect as long as existing user, the data is available only for groups and dimensions that it has been assigned to. But when I apply the same groups and provisions to the newly created user, I get absolutely no data, although I can see the report.

    But if I ask the Essbase Cluster: provision of administrator to the new user, all data is viewable in the reports, regardless of the dimension of security.

    I'd appreciate emergency assistance to get this issue resolved.

    Concerning

    Go to EAS, then continue with your application/db and view filters, I guess that for previous users filters?
    If so your new user has filters, if maybe you need to refresh the security filter, of planning.

    See you soon

  • New user Admin cannot SSH

    Hello

    I need to provide information so that they are able to carry out remote maintenance SAN from Dell. Part of this information is the user name and the password of a user that can cannect to the hosts that are connected to the San via SSH. I don't want to give the root password, so I created a new user who is an administrator, and want to give them these details to the user.

    I changed the secuiity profile, sort of SSH is enabled. However, when I try to connect to the ESX host using Putty it says access denied. I can connect on the same host using PuTTY if I log in as root. There no option in ESX 4.1 to select "Grant access the user's shell" as in versions previous, when you set up the user, so there must be an entry in a configuration somewhere file that specifies that the users can connect via SSH? Anyone know where is this file, or if not a file, how do I enable SSH access to a specified user?

    Thank you

    Ben

    OK let's check how it works for me with ESXi (I just tested it with two different servers ESXi 4.1, build/updates-numbers):

    1 useradd testuser

    2 passwd testuser

    3 /etc/security/access.conf line: +: testuseruser:ALL

    4. switch shell/bin/Ash in/etc/passwd

    5 set the directory in/etc/passwd. / Home / is not available on ESXi, so I change to / or/tmp

    6 ssh connection works - without any restart of the service

    Please check all these points again to make shure you erase the line access.conf etc.

    If this does not help, proceed as follows after the access denied message:

    In Putty, press ctrl + right on the mouse-> 'Event Log' and take a look what part of authentication has failed.

  • Having problems to import tables to a new user with new tablespace

    Hi all

    Here is my scenario:

    I have a user, the latter having data stored in storage - say q, w, e.
    I would like to export all the tabledata and import it to a new user USER_B. All data imported to B must be kept in the USER_B_PERM tablespace.

    I tried a lot of things yet, but imp always try importing the tables for the original tablespaces.

    What have I done now:


    create new databases:

    create tablespace USER_B_PERM
    DATAFILE ' / oradata_big, path, USER_B, USER_B_PERM. DBF' SIZE 126 M
    SIZE UNIFORM LOCAL 125M MANAGEMENT MEASURE;

    ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE ' / oradata_big, path, USER_B, USER_B_PERM. DBF'
    AUTOEXTEND ON;


    create temporary tablespace USER_B_TEMP
    TEMPFILE ' / oradata_big, path, USER_B, USER_B_TEMP. DBF' SIZE 126 M
    SIZE UNIFORM LOCAL 125M MANAGEMENT MEASURE;

    ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE ' / oradata_big, path, USER_B, USER_B_TEMP. DBF'
    AUTOEXTEND ON MAXSIZE 3000M;


    CREATE user B:


    -SQL USER
    CREATE USER USER_B IDENTIFIED BY USER_B
    DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USER_B_PERM".
    TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "USER_B_TEMP";

    -ROLES
    GRANT "RESOURCE" TO USER_B;
    'CONNECT' GRANT TO USER_B.
    ALTER USER USER_B ROLE BY DEFAULT "RESOURCE", "CONNECT";

    -SYSTEM PRIVILEGES
    GRANT CREATE ANY VIEW TO USER_B;
    REVOKE A USER_B UNLIMITED TABLESPACE;
    change the quota USER_B unlimited user on USER_B_PERM.

    export of old data
    owner file = exp_user_a.exp exp = USER_A compatible exp.log = LINES Y = Y = log


    new user import
    IMP file = exp_user_a.exp fromuser = USER_A, USER_B log = imp.log ROWS = touser = Y



    Because I revoked the UNLIMITED TABLESPACE privilege imp creates tables in the original storage spaces (q, w, e) but the data import failed:
    ORA-01536: space-Programmvielfalt fur Tablespace 'q' passed.

    Any ideas? I don't see what is different to the docs:
    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023312


    We are using oracle 11.2.0.1 and we have still a few columns long raw if it matters.

    Thanks in advance,
    Andreas

    I tried a lot of things yet, but imp always try importing the tables for the original tablespaces.

    If the table was created with the specific tablespace clause, then it will go in particular tablespace.

    I would like to export all the tabledata and import it to a new user USER_B. All data imported to B must be kept in the USER_B_PERM tablespace.

    easy to solve this problem in impdp datapump, use clause REMAP_TABLESPACE.
