• How to shrink thin comments on VMFS5? or change the block size?

  Hi all, I'll try to find a way to reduce invited bloating thin-set in service in an environment VMFS5 all.

  We went from 4.1 to 5.1 and then also vmotioned storage all our newly created vm VMFS5 volumes before you delete the old VMFS3 volumes.  During this operation, everyone has forgotten that one of our volumes has been intentionally assigned to a block size of differnet than all the others for the purpose of narrowing of the guests who had swelled upward for some reason any.  Now, we have no way to create something other than a volume of 1 MB block size which prevents us from doing the cleaning routine.  Is there an alternative way to shrink a guest who does not put offline?

  For those who do not know the procedure that I describe, here's how it works:

  You have a 100 GB comments that has only 10 GB of actual data in it, but because of something after bad temporary files, cleaning up old data, etc., that 100 GB had been used at a point of real files but is now only 10 GB in use. You want to recover which is now 90 concerts waste of space because your thin provisioned VMDK is sitting there at 100 GB in size.  With VMFS3, you could create a volume with a block size that was different from that of the volume on which the guest is currently living.   In our environment were all our 1 MB LUN but one that we kept to 2 MB just for that purpose.   When we were getting a little low on space and found guests such as the one in question, we would run a simple command to write zeros to the entire free space:

  Cat/dev/zero > bigfile; RM f bigfile

  Then all you have to do is storage vMotion the guest at the volume of 2 MB and return to its normal domestic and suddenly the VMDK's 100 GB up to 10 GB, all with no impact on the guest.  Without support for the creation of a file system with a different block size in VMFS5, now I'm not aware of a way to reclaim this space in a way that does not require an interruption of the guest.

  You can select the VMFS version when you create a new data store. With selected VMFS3, you will be able to specify the desired size of the block.

• Block size and cannot run the snapshot-

  Hello

  I have the following LUNS carved to my windows 2008 r2 SQL box.

  ESX 4.0

  Lun1 - size - 230GB of OS 1 MB size block

  LUN2 - DataUn 4 MB block size - 950 GB

  LUN2 - size - 500 GB of block DataB 4 MB

  LUn3 - records the block size of 1 MB - 200 GB

  When I try to run a backup, veeam, got the following error

  < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < indeterminate datastore >

  What could be the cause and how to fix it so I can run a backup on this virtual machine. How big a LUN should I create?

  Joe.

• Change the block size of 1 MB (4 MB or 8 MB)

  Hi all

  I'm in a delemia.  I have an ESXi installed 4.1 vSphere but I used the block of 1 MB by default when the size isstalling ESXi.  I have turned Virtual Machines for some time on this topic and may not all simply re - install the ESXi again.  I am currently in need greater than 256 GB drives in my virtual machines.

  What I read for possible patches to change the 1 MB to 4 MB or 8 MB data store to support more than 256 GB drives is to add to the new temporary HDD on the server and create a new store of data on it with the block size of 4 or 8 MB and then migrate the virtual machines to the new larger block size datastore.  Then re - initialize the original 1 MB data store such as a 4 or 8 MB and migrate to the original data store.

  Two questions about this:

  (1) is my eventual detailed correction?  In other words, I add another, say, 8 MB block size datastore, although I have implemented the ESXi server as a 1 MB? Or will it just automatically initiaize the new temporary data store like 1 MB anything?

  (2) If this correction is possible, the passage of the VMS in a data store from 1 MB to 8 MB data store will have reprecussions?  In other words, move a Virtual Machine with the 1 MB block size to a data store with 8 MB is a problem with this virtual machine?

  Any suggestion would be great.

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the community,

  You can format each data store (which is just a partition with a type of VMFS partition) with a different block size and move the VM back if you wish. However, if your hardware supports ESXi 5.x, this can be an easier way to solve the dilemma, because after the upgrade to ESXi 5.x, you can also upgrade the VMFS3 data store to VMFS5 which supports the file (virtual disk) sizes of up to ~ 2 TB with a unified 1 MB block size.

• confusion about the block size

  Hello
  I doubt very simple but fundamental, I really want to know what exactly is the block size, now my confusion is to say we have 100 members in account dimension (all are store) which is dense, and we have dimension period with 18 members, who is also dense.now on 100 members account only 50 of them have values stored in them so that the size of the block will be 50 * 18 * 8 , or will it be 18 * 100 * 8
  
  Thanks in advance

  The size of the block is constant, regardless of the data.

  The density of this block varies with the data.

  The storage needs of the blocks on the changes to disk with the density of the block.

  Kind regards

• Change the block size? vSphere ESXi 4.1.0.

  Hello world

  I wanted to create a third virtual machine, but the existing computer hard drive was large (GB 266), because I had created a VMFS with 1 M block :-(

  I searched a lot of log and manuals, but I couldn t find an answer, how to change the block size of the data to 2 M store.

  I m using vSphere ESXi 4.1.0.

  Then I tried to export the VM´s to set up the new host of VM with another block. But I m not able to find a filebrowser in the vSphere Client.

  How to export or save a virtual machine or a snapshot.

  In the FAQ, it is described to "Open the filebrowser", but where it is hidden?

  Thank you very much for your help.

• dependent on the block size of oracle on the block o/s size

  Dear all,
  
  
  What is dependent on the block size of oracle on the size of block o/s?
  
  Concerning

  Oracle data block is the smallest logical unit to store oracle data and that's usually multiple o/s block size.

• I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation

  In fact, I decided to use Windows again after 7 is out and seems relatively stable.  I've been a Linux user for many years.

  I want to disable the USN journal because of the huge size and fragmentation; I am not concerned about its performance in the fragmentation, I am concerned about the fragmentation of other files that it encourages rather SHORT time same amounts.  Not all programs have created allowances size correctly when creating new files so even a new file which was one copy of another (100 MB) can be fragmented over 30 times in a NTFS FS relatively fully defragmented.

  Microsoft?  HOW DO DISABLE YOU THE USN JOURNAL IN WINDOWS 7?  Not "How can I clear this" or "how stuck junk to existing articles"...  How is it DISABLED?

  However, I am sure that you can not turn it off for the system volume.

  You will get a response from Microsoft here.

  Just one extra point. I guess that you are talking about the \$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J metafile; It is a fragmented NTFS file. The oldest entries are reset to zero while the file increases so they don't take any physical disk space. Actually used disk space may not exceed greatly MaxSIze + DeltaAllocation.

• Do all the images the same size and position

  Is there a way to Captivate 8 to make several images of the same size and position on one screen?

  Instead of having to manually adjust the properties?

  Thank you.

  Select all, first one selected must have the right position and size. Then use right-click menu, Align, align and resize of the same size.
