Storage maximum comments

Hi, I need to create a linux guest, who will serve as a repository for some applications, the problem is that this repository will grow considerably in the future.

From the reviews, I think to use LVM for volumes without increasing problems and using raw LUNS as physical volumes.

I read maxima 3.5 esx configuration and found that the maximum size of comments SCSI disk is 2 TB, do you think I will have problems if I aggregate multiple LUNS (size < 2 to each) with LVM?

Apparently it seems ok, I mean that each disk hard vm (lun believed in this case) will remain within the limits of maximum size for a comments SCSI drive.

Thanks for any information

Hi Tassleh0ff,

Welcome to the forums.

You are right: the only way to have a larger drive 2 TB is joining several virtual disks to a virtual machine and combine them with a software solution inside the guest. Ensure that if you lose a single virtual disk, you lose all you data (unless you also have a Raid solution in your software, but it consumes a lot of CPU and disk).

Good luck.

  • Creating vCloud org with lease of storage Maximum strategy custom - VAPP model rental contract.

    Hello guys!

    I'm working on the use of the Orchestrator to activate the automatic configuration and customization of the vCloud.

    My problem (I hope), remains the policy setting of the organization that is:

    VAPP model lease:

    Rental maximum storage (30 days)

    It's the default, and apparently, the example of a workflow for the creation of an organization, has no way to change that!

    I'm talking about this piece:

    var leaseSettings = System.getModule("com.vmware.library.vCloud.Admin.Organization").createOrgLeaseSettings)
    storageLeaseHours,
    deploymentLeaseHours,
    deleteOnStorageLeaseExpiration);

    Apparently, the deleteOnStorageLeaseExpiration affects only storage cleaning: (move for expired items or permanently remove) - but not the lease of storage Maximum setting

    The research of the library API, I found this and tried to do something:

    var myVclOrgVAppTemplateLeaseSettings = new VclOrgVAppTemplateLeaseSettings();

    myVclOrgVAppTemplateLeaseSettings.storageLeaseSeconds = 0;

    myVclOrgVAppTemplateLeaseSettings.deleteOnStorageLeaseExpiration = deleteOnStorageLeaseExpiration;

    However, when trying to use it in createOrgSettings, I get exception:
    Cannot convert com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud.model.schema.objects.OrgVAppTemplateLeaseSettings@731305e9 in com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vcloud.model.schema.objects.OrgEmailSettings (name of the dynamic Script Module: createOrgSettings #17)
    How I don't use this, in order to customize the attribute of lease of storage Maximum for the policy of the Organization? It is not very clear...
    Thank you!

    Screenshot help SOOO much I understand now...

    Well, working with the Org object alone won't get you where you need to go, you will also need to get the Organization Admin object

    var adminOrg = myOrgObject.toAdminObject ();

    now, with the adminOrg, you can call the method 'updateSetings' with a 'VclOrgSettings' object passed as parameter...

    var orgSettings = new VclOrgSettings();

    Look on the object VclOrgSettings in the Explorer in the api to find available properties - one of them is that you need: "vAppTemplateLeaseSettings" - so that the code you created will go here...

    In view of the foregoing...

    Create the Org as you're... Once you have the org created, the admin object so that org and update of the vAppTemplateLeaseSettings as you wish

  • RAID 1 storage maximum reaching SAS 6 IR

    Hello support team,

    I work with a Dell PE T310 and uses a Windows 7 OS. The controller card is an iR SAS 6, RAID 1 configuration and reach maximum capacity.  I want to add more storage without losing any data.

    The configs of the BIOS of the controller is listed below:

    SAS6IR - Bus PCI: 03 / Dev PCI: 00 / PCI Fnc: 00 / FW revision: 0.25.47.90 - IR / status: enabled / Boot Order: 0

    1 - ATA YES / NO/secondary / NO / 238418
    2 No. ATA / YES / HOT spares / NO / 238418

    1. How can I add more storage without losing any data?

    2. can I use (2 - ATA) drive that is not used in the Raid listed for HOT spare (not seen in disk management) for RAID 0 because the 4 drive Bay is empty at the moment or if it should / could be used for another HARD drive and sets up another RAID 1? which leads to my next question:

    3. 3 drive bays are used, only the drive Bay HARD 4 a mesh metal. Can I add another HARD disk and set up for extra storage?

    Yes, if you add a 2 TB drive and configure RAID with the 250 GB drive, then your RAID 1 will not be 250 GB, which means you'll be wasting disk 750Go 3.

    In order to use disc 2 for what it IS, you must first cancel the assignment as a hot spare (hot-spare parts are reserved as readers of Eve to the RAID arrays and are not visible to the OS).  No, it can be used as a stand-alone, no RAID disk, or you can configure it in RAID 1 (integrated mirror - IM) with a second disk.

  • Maximum size of storage for VDR

    Hi all

    I searched on the internet and on this site, and according to what I found, I want to clarify some things:

    Each Server vCenter can have 1 camera VDR branch above

    VDR can save up to 100 mV

    VDR can have a maximum of 2 de-deplication stores connected to it

    Each store deduplication can be of a maximum size of 1 TB

    On this basis, it is a fair assumption that I can have a space for backup storage maximum of 2 TB per vCenter using VDR?

    I ask because I need to implement a backup solution for nearly 100 VM and they employ about 2 TB of space.

    I have a 8TB available to store backups on NAS.

    However IF I can have only up to 2 TB of storage space and virtual machines could increase in the future to more than 2 TB in size, do I need to look at another form of backup (like VCB) has a growth future mind?

    Any suggestions or advice?

    Concerning

    Mark

    a RESUME can support up to 10 devices vDR (not sure about vsphere 5)

    the other elements are correct, however you can expect a certain de-dup so the amount that can be stored in each destination depends on how much initial de-dup on the first pass of backup and well it turns later.

    I used it since beta and my device current back 6 VMS, (DC, monitor e-mail, exchange server 5 GB and a few others).  the destination disk is 150 GB and has stabilized at about 20 GB free after 6-8 months of continuous use.  The Unit indicates that no duplicate backup would be approximately 4.5PB (petabytes).

    After the initial backup pass written new only revenge will be a block not already represented in the destination, as well as a few catalog information.

    at a customer, I recently tested their file server about 500 GB, the first pass used about 187 GB of the destination that is a result good enough to de-dup.

    then he the old result "you mileage may vary."

    the current version is a little slow, so it can be difficult to fit everything in a backup window (you can spread their) without overloading the IO device.  the v2 it is supposed to be faster due to some changes, but he continues to get better with each new version.

    Thus, although it is not your and backup only for production it performs an additional backup very good plus works well as an image backup for a fast recovery of a virtual computer.  Recently, I had a SAN failure which eventually nuking all six servers.  using vDR restore I had them all back within 2-3 hours and fully functional without doing anything other than a restoration and powered on, all the domain and all the work 100% server even the domain controller.

  • XW6600 + GTX 760?

    Hello

    I have a question:

    Short version:

    760 GTX graphics card will work with XW6600?

    Long version:

    I have XW6600, 16 GB RAM, 1 x E5440, 2 x Velociraptor 300 GB, DVD, Asus EAH6850, STD 650W PSU - which works perfectly. I want to replace by a more powerful gfx card, my favorite (best bang for males) is GTX 760 from NVidia (so that the CPU can bottleneck of the machine, I intend to keep this card when I'll be possibly replace XW6600, maybe I could go SLI then).

    650w is theoretically more than enough for such a card, but since we have only a 6pin to the power, we need another 6-pin (or 8-pin) from somewhere, probably with Molex adapter. Now Let's read XW6600 REPAIR:

    + 12 v - D - line used by PCIe 6pin to the and storage - maximum continuos current 12.5 A (page 8), which gives to 150W. Suppose that a margin of 25W for 2 x HDD + DVD, he left port PCIe 125W + 75W, amounts to 200W.

    Theoretically, GTX760 a TDP of 170W, but all the factory manufacturer overclock their cards, + 15% more power is typical, sometimes even more. If a card can draw 195W or more - close enough to the limit. Is it safe?

    Alternative: as I have only a single CPU, and I won't have to have another, perhaps I can mod the PSU? I want to tell Exchange line + 12VCPU1 (17.5 A) with + 12 v V - D: this would provide (non-existent) CPU1 with a power Max. 12.5 A (instead of A 17.5) and the PCIe and storage with a maximum of 17.5 A (instead of 12.5 A), which should give me a lot of reserve.

    Do you think that it is safe (it obviously requires a weld, I'm pretty confident I can do it right)?

    Short version:

    Yes...

    Long version:

    A PCIe video card will draw a maximum of 75W PCIe slot and the rest by auxiliary power of graphics card connectors. Normally a connector 2 x 3 will provide another 75W and a connector 2 x 4 will provide another 150W. Thus, if a graphics card requires 300W, that is provided by the slot PCIe connector 2 75W 75W x 3 and 150W to connector 2 x 4... I think that 300 w is the maximum power available for graphics according to PCIe slides/specs I've seen...

    Now if your graphics card manufacturer indicates the card will draw a max of 170W, then you need 75W of the PCIe slot and the remaining 95W of connector power supply a 2 x 4 or auxiliary power of TWO 2 connectors x 3...

    Note that a 6 pin auxiliary power connector (2 x 3) is not supposed to provide 150W safely, only 75W max safely can be provided only by one such connector...

    If your + 12V - D line can provide safe of 150W, 25W is currently used by your HARD and the ODD drive, then you should be able to wire in auxiliary power of TWO 2 x 3 connectors in this line. Of course, please make sure that you don't go adding more devices to this line since you can then override this line of power supply...

    Now, if your power supply provides a 650W and the graphics card needs of 170W, then you must make sure the rest of your system in the remaining 480W power budget. In other words, the CPU (80W each), memory, hard disks (2x6W each), raid cards (25W), mobo (?) (W), ODD (6W?) and all other equipment connected to the mobo (including usb devices powered by the mobo) must not consume more than 480W... or you weird questions that occur...

    So as long as you stay in the + 12 V - D power power limit in the limit of total power from the PSU, everything should be OK.

    In your case, 480W seems like it enough power to the connected equipment, so add a GTX760 should be OK on a budget of power...

    But I don't know if xw6600 supported by GTX760 so do not be surprised if questions pop up... As a clue, if the system does not start, suspect a smbus between motherboard questions and... possible map using nail polish on the pins of smbus graphics card may solve the problem or BIOS legacy support adjustment can solve the problem on later UEFI systems...

    Oh and "caveat emptor", you should proceed with these mods... in other words, don't blame me not if FRY you your system...

    Good luck..

  • Custom high resolution in Windows 7 clients?

    I've used Windows 2000 guests in VMWare. But recently, I decided to update my guests to Windows 7. A bump in the road, it's that I was not able to create the same resolution of screen in Windows 7, as I had in Windows 2000. I want to have the 3200 x 1600 resolution.

    In Windows 2000, I set the resolution maximum comments in VMWare to 1600 x 800 and the number of monitors to 2. I saw the number of monitors or anything inside the guest OS. I just saw a screen resolution bar that goes to 3200 x 1600. It was perfect!

    No matter what I set the resolution of comments in VMWare to in Windows 7. I try to set to 1600 x 800 and the number of monitors to 2. But inside the guest OS I always get that one monitor can go up to 2560 x 1600 and the other monitor can go up to 1600 x 1200. These figures remain the same regardless of the values I put in VMWare!

    I would like to have either:

    -as I did in Windows 2000, a single bar of screen resolution that went all the way up to 3200 x 1200 (which was perfect). or

    -two monitors with resolution screen maximum 1600 x 1600 (or four in 1600 x 800)

    Is it possible to fix this? Is it possible to make the operating system of Windows 7 guest sensitive for the screen resolution setting that I put in VMWare?

    SE host: Windows 7 Professional

    Guest OS: Windows 7 Professional

    VMWare Worstation version: 7.1.0

    Processor: Q6600

    Oh, OK.  I didn't know the resolution of your host was smaller.  I assumed that you had two 1600 x 1200 monitors on the host.

    You can try to use the VMwareResolutionSet.exe (it comes with VMware Tools).  I think that the syntax should be something like:

    0 1 0 0 3200 1200 VMwareResolutionSet.exe

    (Notice the spaces around the comma).

  • Hard disk - storage space Maximum allowed for Pavilion G7 2233 cl

    Hello world

    Long time lurker, first time here poster.  This forum helped me a lot when I removed Windows 8 and Windows 7 Professional installed for helping me find the right drivers for everything.  So thank you all for this.

    in any case, on my question...

    I'm modding my HP Pavillion G7 2233 portable cl.  I added a 512 GB SSD Crucial MX100, but I saw somewhere that someone who has exactly the same laptop replaced the DVD optical drive with a caddy to hold a second hard drive.  I want to add a second hard drive to use as media storage space, documents, video, photos, etc.  He will see a lot of movement between the download, delete, etc..  I didn't want my SSD doing so wear out prematurely.  I already bought a caddy for that.

    My question is what is the spaced maximum storage allowed for the Pavilion G7 2233 cl?  I couldn't find the info on the BIOS to tell us what it is.

    I have Windows 7 Professional installed (came pre-installed with Windows 8, but has been removed because it caused so many problems).

    Happiness is not around the corner... it's IN the corner

    1 TB is now the 'bigger' standard hard drive for your laptop (2 TB or 3 TB for desktop computers). There are bigger drives for laptops out there, but assistive technology that storage in a small space is still fairly new. Especially with new laptops, there is not a limit, in itself, the size of the hard drive, you can install.

  • Maximum storage capacity for RN316

    I know there are other topics covering this, but not for the model, I am interested to. I notice conflicting information on what maximum storage capacity, are supported by the RN316. For example, looking at the Datasheet on the Netgear product site, it shows the RN316 supports up to 60 TB and is expandable up to 128 TB with external units.

    https://www.NETGEAR.com/home/products/connected-storage/RN316.aspx#tab-TechSpecs

    Here, the graph shows however differently (hoping it is exceeded). According to this, the same model only supports 24 TB of max and is expandable up to 64 TB with external units.

    http://KB.NETGEAR.com/app/answers/detail/A_ID/7010/~/ReadyNAS%3A-expansion?CID=wmt_netgear_organic

    In addition, said Amazon list it has a limit of 4 TB of each Bay, but hard drive compatibility shows that it supports 8 to even 6-disc (including TB WD drives Red 6 I ordered). So I'm a bit confused.

    Are the limits of capacity related to older hardware, or is it something that is been upgraded over time through updates firmware for the ReadyNAS OS 6? I bought six to 6-disc for my RN316 and intend to use RAID6 - up to 36 TB of physical capacity and capability real/loglcal to 24. Can anyone confirm if this configuration would be supported by this model? Thank you

    When the RN316 came out 6 TB discs were not available. Once we were able to test and qualify the and add all the necessary improvements to the firmware works well with them, we were able to add 6 to discs to the compatibility list.

    10 TB disks start to become available now. Regarding which models will be tested against this ability or to work with, it remains to be seen.

  • maximum performance for storage

    Hello Experts,

    I am in the phase of implementation of a new box of EMC for the database (oracle10g) of production. We are going to implement of the ASM.what is the best arrangement of the discs to be implemented to obtain maximum performance, the administartion and redundancy of the Oracle view?


    Thank you

    If we implement hardware lavel, sayRAID10 storage level itself then what level of redundancy should be used in ASM?

    It depends on. You must select external redundancy only if your storage space is available. With external redundancy, your storage space is (potentially) a single point of failure.
    If you want to mirror your data between two storage (so you can fail with no impact on your database), you must select NORMAL redundancy.

  • Maximum storage capacity for PowerEdge 1950 III

    Hi guys,.

    Just wondering this as the maximum capacity of hard drives that can take the PowerEdge 1950 III. Ive currently got a 300 GB 15 k Cheetah drive in Bay 0 but I want to change them for 2 tablespoons. I can do this, or must they be smaller. I read on some forums that it might take readers to 2x2TB but according to the technical data it can only take up to 2x750GB which would be disappointing.

    If you need more information I can provide fortunately.

    Thank you
    Arron

    Regardless of the controller you use, the maximum disk size is 2 TB. Do not use expensive desktop/laptop or NAS drives.
