• The maximum size of the LUN and VMDK disks

  Hello

  What is the maximum size of a LUN I can introduce to Virtual Center.  What is the disk vmdk maximum size that I can use in a Virtual Machine?

  I use vSphere 4.1 and Virtual Center 4.1.

  Thank you.

• Size of the LUN Max size minimum and maximum RDM?

  The Maximums on 4.1 Configuration seems to have been a change in the size of the LUN max, of the strange 2 TB - 512 bytes to just 2 TB. Can anyone confirm that it is correct in 4.1? As I understand it in 4.0, if you got your logic unit number created to exactly 2 TB, you have lost about 500 GB of space (?).

  It would be interesting to know if it is "fixed" in 4.1 and if only the use of 4.1 hosts then 2 TB LUNS could be created?

  In addition, the maximum size of RDM always seems to be 2 TB - 512 bytes in 4.1. What is the reason for this kind of limit? If the guest operating system can accept more large drives of 2 TB, which need not enough?

  Even on the store of NFS, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual machine will be 2 TB - 512 bytes?

  Yes, there is a maximum specified for the virtual machine.

  Would a connection iSCSI comments launched a LUN liked work of 2 TB (if the guest operating system can handle)?

  Yes, it's a way to work around the limitation of current 2 TB - 512 bytes.

  The information about this change in the passage of Q & A at the end of TA7121 - ' next generation VM Storage Solutions with API for integration (VAAI) Array vStorage "was held in San Francisco just a couple of weeks.

  Interesting. Did you get any sense if this possible change should come an update for 4.0 - 4.1 or may appear in a future version, 4.5 or 5.0?

  I will attend at Vmworld in Copenhagen in October, so maybe I should visit this session.

  You know, I don't really have a strong impression be it on this issue.  My stomach seems to tell me that it will be in the next version of main product.  If I remember correctly, one of the presenters of the session was one of the engineers who worked initially make VMFS.  This session was really good, so I recommend anyway.

• the maximum size of the data store in ESXi 4

  as I don't have a lot of space left on my data vmfs3 store, plans to add a 3 TB of HDD to the ESXi 4.1 Host. I will then use the new HDD for a creation of a new data store.

  I also want to ensure that the block size is the same as the existing data store.

  Please notify.

  Thank you.

  The maximum size of the LUN/disk in this case is 2 TB less 512 bytes (see KB VMware: ESX/ESXi 3.x/4.x hosts don't support 2 TB LUN for more details). The maximum size of virtual disk with a block size of 4 MB, please take a look at the article I mentioned in my previous post.

• Size of the LUN. Urgent request.

  I have a node cluster 3 ESX4.1U1 with iSCSI SAN connectivity. I have multiple VMFS LUNS mapped in the cluster, and certain RDM mapped to the guests.

  A guest, a Windows 2008 R2 VM, has a large ROW mapped. This, according to the SAN is 1.89 TB in size, and I am almost out of space. If I look at storage adapters in vCenter Configuration, it also shows that 1.89 TB, but the Windows 2008 VM shows like 1936 GB. OK, so that sounds about right.

  I want to add an another 100 GB to the LUN. I added this on the SAN, so the LUN shows now 1.99 TB. A refreshment in vCenter on each cluster node also shows the LUN now as 1.99 TB, so knowing the 2 TB LUN limit, I should be ok.

  I have re-scanned disks in the Windows 2008 VM and it shows the available extra 100 GB, so I guess I can extend the volume in free space, but this will push the volume size up to 2036 GB. I read that VMware calculates LUN size in base10, so the maximum size is 2000 GB - 512bytes. I'll have a LUN liked than that, at least in the comments.

  Thing is, at this stage, that didn't stop me doing. I have no error or warning, and the fact that the cluster sees the LUN 1.99 TB seems to imply, I should be ok.

  Before I develop the volume free space, can someone confirm if I'm having problems with this? It's quite urgent, so a quick response would be appreciated. The volume of the guest is a basic (not dynamic or GPT) disk. I don't know that the MBR in Windows volume limit is 2.19 TB, so I should be ok with this.

  Look for example at the table at the bottom of the http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384 (load calculation required by the snapshot files)

• HARD drive 2 TB - stuck to the size of the LUN 256 GB

  I'm unable to untilize the free space on a 2 TB HARD drive. I am told is 1.81 TB free space but I'm going to create a data store, I thought that the maximum size is 256 GB. Also, when I try to increase it, it tells me that the value is greater than the capacity of the disc (which contradicts the previous readings).

  To me, it looks like the 3 partition - which should be the VMFS partition - has been deleted at some point!

  You can (at your own risk) follow http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1009829 and try to manually recreate the VMFS partition/data store on the system disk.

• &lt; Unspecified file name &gt; file is larger than the maximum size supported by datastore '&lt; indeterminate datastore &gt;.

  I know that this issue has much spoken in the forums, but the answers are always to make sure that your block sizes are set to 8 MB - mine are already. Let me explain:

  I have a virtual machine with a large amount of connected storage - something along the lines of discs 10 x 1.99 to. Sit all VMDK on partitions of the VMFS of 8 MB of size block, including the configuration of the VM (location of the pagefile).

  Every time I try and snapshot of the virtual machine, I see the "< unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >. All other virtual machines instant fine, but any other VM has a similar amount of storage as the VM problem.

  I have now moved the configuration files of the virtual machine to a new partition VMFS 5 of 1.91 TB, but the instant error persists. Most of the readers is sitting on VMFS 3.33 or 3.46. It will take me a while to move all VMFS 5 to see if that solves the problem.

  My VMDK and volumes are smaller than 2032GB. I don't understand why, it's be a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Although ESXi 5 supports larger LUN as a raw physical devices (up to 64 TB), the maximum size of a virtual disk has not yet changed.

• The LUN size limits

  I have a question about the size of the LUN. I'm about to have a provider setup a HP Storage Works modular Smart Array P2000 with 20 discs LFF 450 GB. I'm trying to understand the best way to configure the LUNS to maximize the available space. Can I go with 2 LUNS of 10 discs each who would each LUN 3771 GB each? I'll go with ESXi 5, all guests will be Win 2008 R2 64 bit and I intend to have two servers with about 1 TB of office space and about 15-20 with 150 GB of disk space.

  The maximum size of the LUN, VMFS data warehouses and raw physical devices in ESXi 5 is ~ 64TB.

  You can configure the MSA with the LUN sizes you mentioned. However, it also depends on the workload of computer virtual and if you make a backup with snapshots. I probably go with 3 or 4 LUNs and present them on different controllers.

  I'm not familiar with the MSA, however, you should be able to create a large RAID set several records and cut the LUNS in that RAID, the value instead of creating multiple RAID sets with fewer disks.

• Increase in size of data store ESXi after increasing the size of the LUN

  Hi all

  Scenario is as follows.

  Remote site with Dell r710 ESXi 4.1 servers 2, 1 Dell MD3200i SAN with 12 600 GB drives.

  Initially when I implemented the San, I created 2 LUNS with 1 TB in each LUN.

  Now, we ran into a situation where we have 1 server which is now need more than 1 TB of sapce on it.

  I've reconfigured the table and now have a unit number logic that I spent in 2 TB to 1 TB and I now need to increase the store of data on the ESX Server.

  If I increase the size he reformatted the LUN whole or just the free space that I create?

  I don't want to remove any exisitng s VM on the SAN.

  maximum size of a vmfs is 2 TB-512 b only. extend wouldn't format the LUNS. Look at this blog: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/26/resizing-your-vmfs-the-right-way-exploring-the-next-version-of-esxvcenter/

• The maximum size of the disk

  In vsphere, which is the size of disk and partition size limit?

  Thank you

  Max

  The maximum size (for both the disk and partition) is 2 TB - 512b

  This limit also applies to the LUN, RDM disk, vmdk disk,...

• File is greater than the maximum size supported by the data store "Datastore1".

  Ok

  I have read that I need to increase the size of the block, but I need to remove the data store. Is it the same on ESXi 4.0?  I have 4 other VM about 150 GB. Please tell me I'm wrong.  Please...

  Same rules apply.  Create an another LUN with the correct block size and away files or hang the lun and recreate

• Hi, my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this. Visited links are is more changing color.

  Hello
  My places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB I reached the maximum size, is there a maximum size for this.
  Suddenly the visited links don't change is no longer the font color, that I prepare for an exam, I need visited issues to change color, to follow up on issues that I ended. But if I delete a few days of history, then again once, most visited links change color and then it stops, it seems that something is getting full and not able to accommodate more? Why my visited links don't change color after a number of visits? I would like to make a back up of the file places.sqlite. So I tried everything to remove the profile, uninstalling reinstalling, creating a new profile, and then copy paste places.sqlite etc, but as mentioned after a few visits, visited links is no longer change color, if I delete a few days in history and then a few visits is again change color and then stop again, so what should I increase so that my quota of visited links is increased , I also tried tweaking about: config and there has been no result. Although I was not really convinced that _pages growing brower.history_max (don't remember the name, but I'm sure you get the idea) will help.
  Seems that while my visited links change color, quota is met and only if I delete the history of a few days will I get some links most visited to change color. Can someone enlighten us? As mentioned that my places.sqlite file size is 30 720 KB so I think maybe this has something to do with it? Would be very grateful if someone could help me. Thank you.

  Sorry it is not looking good.

  1. Unlike bookmarks history is not saved in Firefox.
  2. There is a possibility using Windows.
  3. Sync is not expected to back up things until the synchronization server
  4. If places.sqlite does not sort itself you may have to re-create remove it. You will lose your history, but can still access indirectly IF you have saved a copy of the appropriate
  5. Different databases to try to create new profiles
  1. History
     is rather less robust than bookmarks, you should deliberately somehow return it upward, but it's too late now
  2. Earlier versions of Windows
     This is really the last chance. Make sure you have some places.sqlite you saved. Always before and after any attempt to restore the backup. Windows must be able to provide a previous version. One of these versions may be usable as is; or can be used after a repair with housekeeping. Of course, this is not the latest version but it should help.
  3. Sync is not a server backup service.
     Sync is intended to save on another device, no backup is the fact that the second device then contains synchronized information. IIRC Sync development ceased, and the replacement when available may include a server backup option.
  4. Recreate the database of bookmarks (including history)
     Unfortunately, recess can only use saved bookmarks, there is no saved history to use. Once the database is re-created, it will continue to store the history but it loses the existing history. This time take steps to save on a regular basis.
     • The backup profile or at least the places.sqlite in this
       Backup and restore Firefox profiles information
       https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/FEBE/
     • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox#Rebuild_Places_database
  5. Use the new profiles for database testing.
  
  To simplify comparison of the results of the database different files create one or more new additional profiles. Then try to smash the places.sqlite file into the test profile with any other places.sqlite, you want to try. Allows you to directly compare the databases, without seeking to use sync and without changing the Firefox profile work unnecessarily. You can keep a reference profile of studies with the best of the profiles of any shows results of history; According to the best recreated or corrupted database is.
  • Use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox
  • CARE, do not rename or delete profiles created once or use anything other than empty folders when they are created. Don't nest in the other profiles. (At least until you know exactly how it behaves - post back if you never consider such actions)

• What is the maximum size of HARD drive, I use in my dc7600 CMT

  I use a HP dc7600 CMT, which works well after the upgrade to a Samsung 128 GB SSD Intel Pentium D 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6450. I'm under Win 8.1 Pro x 64, with the most recent upgrade and have absolutely no problem. Now, I want to add a second internal HDD and I wonder what is the maximum size that I can go to. I can't go up to 2 TB, or am I limited to a lower number? 1 TB? 500 GB? 250 GB?

  Will be happy to help here, especially if he actually tried to apply in practice.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello:

  In theory, you'd be limited to 2 TB.

  The biggest HARD drive I have ever installed in my dc7600 CMT was a 1 TB of HDD, so I can't confirm that a 2 TB drive will absolutely work.

• Portege R100: Question on the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hello

  I understand the internal player on the R100 is an ATA5 (Enhanced IDE), I've only used the IBM (now HGST) readers, they do a decent-sized on ATA6 disc, I guess, it will take the player that will support ATA5 as the controller on the R100 is ATA5 only.

  As for the size, what is the maximum size can I ride in this unit?

  The orginal is 5.4 width x depth x 7.9 height 8 mm. Can I assume all 1.8 inch drive will fot or is it a mine field?
