Trying to increase the capacity of virtual resource Flash, no host esx and no SSD is located

In vSphere 5.5 WebClient, click host esx-> settings-> virtual Flash Resource Management.

Then click on the button 'Add ability '. Empty the list of hosts/SSD devices.

I followed the instructions with this announcement, but the list of hosts/SSD devices remains empty.

https://communities.VMware.com/thread/464660

Anyone know how to get around this problem? Thank you!

It works indeed. You need to do some CLI commands to mark the device as a local and an SSD, but I outlined the steps in a post on my blog:

  • Require a process step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new VMware ESX hypervisor

    Hello

    I'm looking for the method step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new host ESX Migration both cold and hot.

    Scenario - I have two data centers running ESX host stand-alone (with VM) in Europe. I need to build the new ESX host in new Dataceter to Singapore.

    Need prerequisites, the methods available for migrate VMWARE virtual has new host ESX (in the new data center) with minimum downtime.

    It will be great if you can enumerate the markets or redirect me to documentation that I can use to create detailed steps as the target host compatibility check on VMs and so on.

    Please advice

    Concerning

    The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

  • Cannot increase the capacity of the hard disk

    ESX3.5 VI

  • No unit number available logic trying to increase the size of the data store

    I am trying to increase the size of my data store.

    When you look at the properties of the data store I can see that the current capacity is 738,29 GB and the local device has a capacity of 2.73 TB.

    (see image 1)

    However, when I click the button increase, there is no LUNS to select.  (this is the case even when you try to add a new data store).

    (see image 2)

    What I am doing wrong?

    1.png

    2.png

    I'm afraid that there is nothing that you can do without having to reconfigure the storage as long as you use vSphere 4.x. because of the overflow I mentioned earlier (see the KB article) ESXi is only able to use 2.73 TB modulo 2 TB-online ~0.73TB.

    Anything that you can do to use currently unused disk space is to reformat, either by dividing the current RAID volume (I guess it's a RAID!) in several logical volumes with less than 2 TB or reinstall the host - if taking in charge - with ESXi 5.x.

  • Increase the capacity of the hard disk for VM

    Hello

    I use ESX 4.0 with vSphere 4.0.

    When there is no snapshots more I would like to increase the capacity of the hard disk of the virtual machine in the menu to change settings / Hard disk. There is MS Windows Srv 2008 R2 64-bit installed.

    What is the right way to do it? Operating system, there is no problem with this increased disc? Primary partition will automatically increase as or what I have to do it myself later?

    There should not be problems with the guest operating system when you increase the size of the virtual disk. After the increase in size in the settings of the virtual machine, you need to resize the NTFS partition in the VM Windows 2008 disk management.

  • Is there a method to increase the capacity of a basic partition?

    Original title: hard drive partitions are reversed - the OS is on drive H, and drive C is almost empty

    I did a system recovery (destrutive). I deleted a partition. C and D remain as choices on the recovery console.  There are three choices. After recovery, I had Windows XP 1985-2001.  I upgraded to XP version 2000. After the upgrade to SP2, including all updates and is about to finish with SP3 and microsoft security essential, I discovered that the operating system has been installed on the wrong drive.

    Is there a method to increase the capacity of a base score, after that is already part of the formatting of the hard drive?

    Hello

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    According to "what windows" are you referring to the...
    Window of Windows Explorer, such as the folder Documents, pictures, music folder folder, etc.
    Internet Explorer window.

    For Windows Explorer...
    Stretch the window as you did > close window > re - open the same window.
    It should open exactly the same size as you closed.
    Window, remembers the size its last closure.

    Foe Internet Explorer...
    Stretch the windows as you did > press Ctrl - key and HOLD > still holding, click file , and then click exit > re - open Internet Explorer.

    YOUR CUSTOMER

    P.K.DAS

    In disk management, you can not extend any partition unless there is unallocated space to the right of the partition.

    If you have another partition next to C then you need to use a third-party utility to shrink this partition and then move that unallocated space is adjacent to the C drive, allowing you to extend it.

  • Increase the size of virtual hard disk to a virtual computer with snapshots

    Is it possible to increase the size of a virtual hard disk on a virtual machine that has snapshots on this subject?  I can use VMware converter to increase the size of the disk, but who commits snapshots during the conversion-

    Thank you

    As everybody said that it is not a good idea to increase the space for a VM with a snapshot.   The snapshot files are all related originally vmdk and when you change this vmdk he breaks the link.

    A particular reason that you cannot commit the snapshot before adding the space.

  • Increase the size of virtual disk Volume

    If initially, I create a RAID10 array with four drives and install ESX3i, then later add two drives to increase the size of the RAID10 array, I can use the extra space for VMS ESX3i without erasing the data?

    Thank you!

    Bob HHSU

    RAID10 on RAID5 due to performance. I 4x500Gb then RAID10 gives me about 1 TB usable, that should be enough space for a couple of years for my application

    Okay, maybe that's true, but you are only working with a few axes.  RAID 10 in maybe 20 disks RAID 10 is perhaps better performance, but not big thing with only 2 pins.  If you don't have the space, very well.  I hope it works for you.

    In addition, the machine has six spans and so I have the ability to add more than two readers and increase the table to about 1.5 TB. My dilemma is now maybe I should add plus two other readers from the beginning if ESX cannot cultivate virtual disks.

    OK, then if you have disks now, why don't put you in now.  Even if you can grow the disk later, why re-work.  This seems really odd.  Do everything now and do it.  If you do not have to do it later.

    VM the VMFS, correct? If I have too much space allocated to a virtual computer and he needs for another, I can reduce the allocation?

    Yes, but again, it is more work.  Start small.  It is easier to add than SUBTRACT.  Start with only 50 GB, 100 GB.  OS file systems growth is much easier, the fight must convert a copy of the SAME virtual machine, which requires even more work...
