The disk performance hard OS ESX influences the performance of ESX somehow?

Hello

Does the OS ESX (e.g. hard disk performance

between SATA and SAS) affect the performance of the ESX somehow?

(To clarify, I wonder about the hard drive that ESX is

installed, not the hard drive that are the VMFS volumes).

This information will help us determine if the benefit of

faster disks to the ESX operating system outweigh the additional costs.

Thank you!

John

Welcome to the Forums - there are two parts that the local disk speed will affect perfomance - during the startup of the ESX host, it will delay the start of the server ESX - the other begins as others have said if you do not set / the effective Service Console - what needs to be done to ensure your service console is configured approriately.

  1. Sevrice console the maximum value of 800 MB memory - which is then installing ESX you set space swap to 2 x 800 or 1.6 - GB

  2. When accessing your virtual machines using RDP or SSH, this will reduce the load on the service console

  3. Minimize running them something extra in the Sevrice Console-

    I have a problem when install the second disk sata hard
    I bought a new one 500 GB and I installed windows xp sp3

    If someone help me what should I do or there is no FIX for this problem.

    in the BIOS I have regcognized both hard drivers:
    IDE pri master 500 GB
    PRI IDE slave 320
    Second master IDE-
    Second slave IDE-

    You said that the hard drives are sata but your bios recognizes them as IDE depending on your position. You might have to set your bios to operate in sata mode or enable AHCI of have recognized them as sata. Regarding the error you get, look in the system BIOS to boot from hard disk command menu. This is different from the command menu of usual starting where you choose each time you start a cd ROM or hard drive ect... The parameter that I refer to determine which hard drive of your computer starts on the first. Change to the primary master 500 GB disk > save your settings and restart your computer. Even if one is defined as main and the other slave is not serious. Some bios have the ability to choose what hard drive to boot from. In other words, it is adjustable to start first on the slave drive.

  • If I have not access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system?

    Original title: TPG Server petition.

    I wanted to know if I di not actually have access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Instead of having a computer with a complete installation of windows mine came with versions of WinPE OEM, NT and MCE. The GPT partition server that I can see is protected. Partial operating systems seem to be installed on network disk Volumes. I think that what I have to do down the disk hard real all delete and start again but I'm having a problem to see what is all about the drive through programs and remove what I find. He also seems to have a certain type of script hidden BIOS more wrinkles to retail and canceling all decisions on versions of the oem .cfg files. She configures and installs the server instead of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit server software. The installation gives the highest administrative authority to the network administrators who I don't know and have never met and to manage my personal laptop. It creates a serious problem when I want to use my computer for one purpose and that some people I don't know and have never met want me to use my computer for something else.

  • Partition 32G BootCamp, Virtual Disk - flat hard 125G file!

    Hello

    I recently installed VMWare Fusion on my laptop OS X I have created a BootCamp partition and installed XP. I created a partition of 32 GB for XP. I noticed my OS X partition to fill quite quickly. I used "from" to find the culprit and it's a 125 G file created by VMWare Fusion! Is this normal? This seems excessive. The file is located:

    / Users/tammy/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp of Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot partition.vmwarevm/Virtual disk - flat hard

    Is it possible to get a little less of my OS X Fusion disk space use?

    Thank you.

    Tammy

    Well, I had to do a little research and what I found out, is that you can not directly mount a virtual secondary drive while he lies in the Boot Camp Virtual Machine partition and I've tested this with both one unformatted and formatting virtual hard drive and got the exact error and message in the absence of additional information in the log file then here is what you can do.

    You can modify the Boot Camp partition.vmx change ide0:1.present = "FALSE" ide0:1.present = "TRUE" then boot partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine and see if the disc is visible in Windows Explorer and if it is not then it has not been formatted and contains nothing, in which case you can remove it from the virtual machine and leave within the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine package or...

    Move the file Disk.vmdk virtual and Virtual Disk - flat hard to the desktop, press ctrl + click on the Virtual Disk.vmdk, and then select open with > VMDKMounter and see what message you get if any.  If it does rise and you get an error message appropriate then it can be deleted safely

    Understand that even if I know it's a pain in the thigh but I need something technically absolute that is within reasonable limits, before I will advise someone to delete a virtual hard disk and I hope you understand the reasoning and wisdom behind this!

    I forgot to mention that if you choose to modify the Boot Camp partition.vmx this must be done with closed merger.

    If necessary do in safe mode

    Windows Vista

    Using the F8 method:

    1. Restart your computer.
    2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
    3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.

  • HP 14-r025tx: what is the maximum size of hard drive I can replace my default one? & other hard disk performance issue

    My default hard disk is almost full and I plan to update. What is the maximum size that this model could overcome? Very well is 2-3 to?

    Another question.

    I replaced my optical drive to a box with a 250 GB SSD HARD drive inside. I installed my new operating system here, and makes the default boot drive. The default value of HARD drive that comes with the laptop is my backup drive. This is configured by okay?

    or

    Do I have to put my SSD on the default HARD drive space and put my 2 to/3 TB harddrive on the caddy for maximum performance?

    Hello

    1. in theory, you can get 2 TB or TB but 1 TB has better peformance.

    2. you cannot boot from the caddy. My suggestion: use for normal Bay and 2 TB SSDS in the caddy. You both what you want.

    3. as (2) above.

    I want to perform a Toshiba product recovery, using the partition on the HARD disk. I did it before and no problem.

    But when I press F8--> computer repair--> selection language--> then I have to select a user (Administrator / my name/guest) when I select the administrator, it says that my account has been disabled, when I select the user with my name (Kenneth) he continues to the menu where I can choose the different options for recovery. If I select the product Toshiba blah blah thingy a screen comes up saying it can't find 01 HARD drive. I did nothing with the partition containing Vista.

    My guess is that I need to log in as an administrator, which is impossible. My user account in Vista is a Director,

    Original title: my PC has 2 problems

    Hi guys, I'm going to talk about my PC has 2 problems.

    1. The problem is when I turn on my computer and boot my system, after 20 minutes I'm playing games, it auto restart my PC several times. 2 weeks ago, my old diet was very serious problem and the cause cannot start my PC, so I bought one to replace. Until a few days ago, it worked with my PC. He still now, have the same problem, but that sometimes he can't start several times and then she came back to do it again. I thought that it will more work and not a problem. I am very nervous and furious...! >:(
    2. Another problem is that my drive hard(location is C:\), it cannot load my system sometimes as the first problem earlier. Not only that, when it is started my PC, I checked all my hard drivesof driver name(I have 2 HARD drive, everything is very old)right click on C:\, click 'Properties' and then click 'Material' tag for the driver name lists. I don't see a single HARD drive driver name(it's in D:\), not on C:\ Name of the driver drive HARD, but in 'My Computer', it takes C:\ icon to click. I don't know why a few months ago, it has worked until now, one is missing and we're still on the list of driver name.

  • Running out of disk space HARD - Question on the Windows folder size

    Hello! I am troubleshooting my HARD drive space. I have a 'C' HDD 16 GB with nearly 0 MB space left (fluctuates probably due to created restore points).

    In any case, I discovered that my Windows folder contains about 7.7 GB of files. (I have Win XP Home Ed, 2002, SP3 installed - with MANY updates that have been installed over the years) 7.7 GB seems a lot.  Random check on the web (not sure how reliable replica is) I see less than 2 GB is what should be there.

    I don't think that there are many 'other' stuff in there, certainly nothing that I placed there. is there a way to check / clean this folder?

    Please do not suggest to re - install Windows as the solution, since at that time, I will buy another computer first.  then put in shape this one. It is clocked at 2.66 GHz Intel Pentium, so not ready to junk food she still.

    Thanks for your suggestions. Best regards, Frank V

    Your list of the most fragmented files that partially reveals the magnitude of your problem. Note that the list does not display very large files that have less than 797 fragments. There are also many small and medium-sizes of the files fragmented with less than 797 fragments. A notable omission in your list, this is the System Volume Information folder. I can't believe that it is not fragmented, she must be on this part of the list is not displayed.

    To defragment by using with Windows XP Disk Defragmenter, you need a bit less 15%. Defraggler is my favorite Defragmenter, but I doubt that it will succeed on your C partition. With Defraggler you can defragment single files, except some files, including those related to safety programs. You must try to reach 20% of free disk space.

    Your swap file is severely fragmented and illustrated perfectly why the possibility of using the "let Windows manage" is not the best solution if you want the better system performance. Minimum setting fixed maximum = pagefile avoids what you see on your system. Unfortunately with a populated partition, it is very difficult if not impossible to resolve completely without having to reinstall the operating system. However, trying to mitigate the impact of what you see, it's something to watch much later in the restoration, the functioning of your computer.

    My previous to Outlook Express references were specifically directed against this program. Outlook is a totally different program and solutions for Outlook Express do not apply to Outlook.

    You cannot compact Outlook pst files and archives, except those who created versions of Outlook prior to Outlook 2003. You can empty deleted item folder and you must first check that it is empty. I would then back up your Outlook Archives on an external drive or flash before attempting to move the locations of archive. Once you have moved the archive folders successfully I would then move messages from your current folders to the archive folders. If you archive the current materials first of all you have more to lose if the process of change the default location of the folder goes awry. Then, you can archive your current messages and change the default location of the current file. You can move messages current return from archives as a last step if you feel the need to do so.

    I copied a few instructions from an external source on how to change the default locations. I hope you find these useful.

    To change the location of database of Microsoft Outlook, the OUTLOOK file. PST is to be moved. In Windows XP, you can find this file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\loginname\Local Settings\Application application\Microsoft\Outlook\ and in Windows Vista, you can find it in the C:\Users\loginname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ folder. After Outlook is closed, the OUTLOOK folder. PST can be moved easily using Windows Explorer by cutting (CTRL-X) and paste (CTRL-V) in the personal folder on the partition data (for example D:\loginname\Outlook). Now, the file is deleted from the original location, Outlook will present an error message because the database can not found. Accept the error message, navigate to the new location of the OUTLOOK. PST file and restart Outlook.

    ATTENTION: If automatic archiving is enabled, the ARCHIVE file. PST must be moved as well! This file can be moved to the same location as OUTLOOK. PST, following the same procedure.

  • How can I stop high disk activity HARD and blocking of the machine

    At startup, the machine takes 2 to 3 minutes before the login screen is available, with HDD coming out of the machine all the time. The Office takes 1.5 minutes to load up. Then quite randomly and especially if I have access to Internet, the HARD drive starts screaming from afar and I get any program I use, indicate "not responding". Similarly, logging on Internet and then check in a site and outside, Yahoo shows "not responding" then comes good, however at that time that the HARD drive is once more trying to get out of the machine with the blocking of the entire system. This condition may last between 1 and 2 hours.

    I can't get out of the Internet or Vista and my only recourse is to hold down the button "power on" for 5 seconds, stop the machine. The alternative is to turn the machine on and leave it alone for a few hours, but it is still not guaranteed the high activity of the HARD drive will be start at random. At the time of blocking, the CPU is variable between 1 and 10% with 4 GB of ram running at 96% to 100%.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2), on an AMD Athlon (TM) 64 x 2 processor Dual core 5000 + 2.60 GHz, Medion machine with 4.0 GB Ram and 32-bit operating system. The machine is a PC MT7 MED MT469G. The boot drive (C: /) is about 350 GB, with a second backup drive (D: /) about 100 GB and a Data partition (E: /) drive on 400 Gb. I.e. two 350 and 500 GB drives.

    The machine becomes practically unusable and I can't stop this frenzied action of HARD drive. I have to be to destroy the HARD drive whenever I turn on. I tried the advice from the experts by disabling regular departures, stopping at various folders, to nothing does not.

    I came through all products Windows 95Windows with XP and 2000 and when I bought this computer Medion, with Vista, I have never experience so much time lost to fight with a machine with this huge HARD drive activity and constant locking machine.

    I understand, sites that Windows 7 is pretty much the same, God forbid, I will put on my wife's machine and is the reason why I have not upgraded.

    Help! Please, how can I get out of this mess?

    Concerning

    I'm not sure I understand your disk configuration. You have two physical drives with drive non-system, divided into two partitions?

    All other programs are running when this happens outside of the browser?

    I would start by Process Explorer to identify the process generating the IO.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/Sysinternals/bb896653

    On the file menu, click 'Show details for all processes', and then on the view menu, select the columns to activity e/s of the shoe.

    While you are in the view menu, click on "System information" and check how your 4 GB 32-bit Vista can see. It is normally about 3 GB but can be much less with some video cards.

    There is more information on the use of Process Explorer here:

    Windows Sysinternals Primer: Process Explorer, Process Monitor and more. Tech· Ed 2010 North America | Channel 9

    You can also use the built in by typing perfmon performance monitor in the box "Search" in the Start Menu.

    http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/TechEd/Australia/Tech-Ed-Australia-2011/SVR306

    This should help you identify files that are used.

    For a more detailed study, you must use Windows Performance Toolkit:

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/performance/cc825801

    http://Channel9.msdn.com/events/build/BUILD2011/HW-59T

    There is a possibility of a hardware problem or the disc is not not in AHCI mode.

    I would also look at the antivirus you are using.
