  Hello

  I use vSphere4 and I'm having problems, create snapshots of virtual machines.  I get the following error when I try and take a snapshot...

  File & lt; filename not specified & gt; is larger that the maximum size supported by the store data "& lt; not stated the store data & gt;

  If I check all disks assigned to the virtual machine, the block sizes are ok.  All the disks are of block size of 1 MB and less 60GB, except one that is 600GB and a 4 MB block size.  There are also free space on each data store with being less 5,30 Go which I guess should be much more than enough to create a snapshot.

  In addition, whenever I try and create a snapshot, it creates a file called SERVER - Snapshot1.vmsn, 2, 3, 4 etc. on the main data store.

  Is it possible that because of the single disc of 600 GB, VMware prevents me from taking a snapshot?

  Here is the config...

  See the attached file for disk configuration information.  Operating system drive is the drive where the snapshots are created.

  Basic disks refers to all disks assigned to the virtual machine. Given that, by default, the snapshot is stored the vmx file, this data store should be able to potentially create a VMDK your largest disk size, assuming that you change every block in the vmdk.

  In your case, it should support a snapshot that can potentially reach 600 GB to one of your drives, and so needs a block of size on the VMFS volume to support this. You can redirect the snapshots to another logic unit number and so to work around this problem (Storage VMotion is another option) limitation.

  Trust, this clears up a little.

• file is larger than the maximum size supported by the vmware data store: snapshot fails

  Hello

  I'm having a few problems when creating a snapshot either by Veeam/vSphere client...  Here are the details...

  VM is connected to lun 2 TB RDM in virual Server files mode. The configuration file is located on the datastore to vmfs with 750 GB (block size of 8MB)

  I'm not sure whether the size of the data store creates a problem or anything else.

  All advice is appreciated...

  Thank you

  What is the exact size of the RDM? A snapshot requires little additional space for hard metadata. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384 (section: load calculation required by the snapshot files). For your ROW, this means, if the ROW is greater than 2032 GB, you will not be able to create a snapshot.

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

  Okay, I'm trying to create a virtual machine from 350 GB.  I need to run a database of 283 GB to test / Proof of concept that will grow more than 325 GB. I get this error message

  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

• VMX file larger than the maximum size supported by the data store

  Hi all

  I seem to be getting a strange error trying to a virtual machine that is located on a snapshot VMFS5, to the data store format.

  The virtual machine (VMDK and VMX file) is installed on a thin provisioned 2 TB datastore which has the value VMFS5 formatting.  It is a data store new with no other VM on it.  I had problems in the past with the datastore block sizes (1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB on VMFS3), however, I thought that VMFS5 got rid of the question, since it's all blocks of 1 MB and all files in the virtual computer are on the same data store.

  The error I get indicates that the VMX file is too large for the data store (used Im saying "unspecified file), however, if I do the independent 2 TB disk snapshots through the fine.  The virtual machine has two virtual disks, a 50 VMDK of GB and a thin 2 TB VMDK (200 GB used).  I tried fast vMotioning the VMDK and VMX to other data formatted VMFS5 stores and still get the same error.

  I'd appreciate any help and ideas.

  Thank you

  Although the block size limit is party, maximum 2 TB file size less 512octets still exists. Since a Flash disk can grow waist put in service the basic disk more overhead for the metadata, the maximum size of virtual disk - to be able to create snapshots - is 2032 GB.

• Snapshot error (.. is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store)

  Hello

  I have a standalone DL360G5 with local storage. I have about 1.1 TB of storage (free in storage 1 TB)

  I have a virtual machine that is configured with a provisioning (256 GB of storage) which is currently 14 GB. He should get a site off backup server.

  When you take a snapshot of the next error message.

  'File '.

  The error message doesn't make sense because it takes only 14 GB of storage, and since I'm more Quen free 1 TB of storage should not be any problem.

  Someone knows how to solve this problem or to get a work around for a snapshot?

  Thank you

  I think that you will need to reformat the data with a block size store. By default, the maximum is 256GB. Slim doesn't help here as a snapshot could grow beyond.

• Failed to create snapshot... file is larger than the size max...

  I'm getting the "file is greater than the maximum size supported by the store of data... »

  I read the KB figure I can move the. VMX file to another data store to get the snapshot to work.

  But I'm having a hard time understanding why this is happening.  I want to avoid this in the future.

  My data store is 67,50 GB of capacity, with 16.92 GB free.

  Block size is 1 MB.

  I understand that 1 MB BS may comprise a maximum of 256 GB.

  Could someone please explain in English how Vmware is the calculation that the 16 GB of free space is not enough?

  Please be nice

  Thank you.

  Yes, that is the question, 272 GB is too large for the size of block 1 data store MB. Front of vSphere 5, all snapshots are created in the home of the virtual machine folder by default. With vSphere 5, this has changed and now snapshots are created in the same folder as the virtual disks from their parent.

• VMware Workstation is unable to open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum file size supported by the host file system.

  I'm transitioning from Windows XP (64-bit) on a new computer with Windows 7 installed.  I undertook to VMWare Workstation 6 7.0.1 in the process.  The problem is with a very large RAID 5 volume on the new system.  It's a score of 5.45 TB (TPG and NTFS).

  When I try to start a virtual machine on this volume, I get the message "VMware Workstation cannot open one of the virtual disks required by this virtual machine because it is larger than the maximum size of the files supported by the host file system.".  This is obviously not true.  If I copy the virtual machine to another drive on the system, it starts without a problem.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to work around this problem?

  try to add this line in the vmx file:

  diskLib.sparseMaxFileSizeCheck = "false".

  Maybe it helps.

  VMDK-type do you use?

  monolithicSparse? -C' is the only part type more?

• The size of the estimated value of the project is larger than the chosen target support

  I am at a loss for trying to create a project using Adobe Encore.  I tried initially to the author of the project using the CS2 version.  When you try to export, I received the following message is displayed:

  "The size of the estimated value of the project is larger than the chosen target support.  While it is an estimate, the project may not build. »

  I have created hundreds of projects in the past, but have never received this message before.  I first thought that the problem was with the release of still I used, but I got the exact error that even trying to create the project with Encore CS5.

  The project itself has a menu, a motion menu, and a single video file.  The video file 152 last minute, and I was trying to export that to a double layer DVD.  I tried from the file using CS5.5 Adobe Premier export using a variety of parameters.  I'm trying to export it to a file DVD-2, with the attributes of soure game being the highest value.  The parameter on the main concept MPEG encoder is set to 5. I tried to export the file by using the constant and variable bitrates.

  When I recently exported the file using a contant 6.5 sampling rate, I still 650,4 Mo still remaining on my project.  I still received the same error message on the size of the project, and so I think that something is wrong.

  I even exported the video file into an AVI file compressed and then tried to coding again using CS5.5 Adobe Premier and Adobe encoder.  I always get the same error message on the size of the file.

  Any help or suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If you do not finish with wasted discs...

  Create an ISO (yet), or a folder on your hard drive (still or Premiere Elements), then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO on DVD or BluRay drive (send the author a PayPal donation if you like his program)

  .

  ImgBurn will read the mark of REAL from the disk drive, which isn't always the same as the label for the box (Memorex is known for 'nothing' buy and put inside a box of Memorex)

  .

  When you write on the disk with Imgburn, use speed SLOWEST possible setting, so your burner has the best chance to create "good, well trained" laser drill holes... Since no DVD drive is required to read a burned disc, have a 'good' after a try to white high quality will help

  The problem is that there is no official information on the maximum size of HARD drive on laptop series different. If we can only speculate on the supported formats.

  But I found it here in the forum:

  The user has updated the own M70 with the 160 GB drive HARD Toshiba MK1637GSX and it works.

• The size of the exported file is larger than the original

  Hello

  I have a new camcorder (Legria HF 56) and when I want to export a scene of the iss to largest file size that it's original.

  An example: the scene (video-AVCHD. MTS) is: 03:30 min, 1440 x 1080, Framerate 25 frames per seconds, 174 MB

  the file exported (.) M2T - H264 1440x1080i 25) is 651 MB bis. Is it possible and how can I fix this problem?

  Best regards

  Richard

  It is not uncommon, since it is unlikely that you are using the same characteristics for your output file as your input file.

  It is virtually impossible to get an output that is the same size as your entry.

  What will you do with your output file? It is best to think in terms of your output - Blu - Ray, DVD, online, iPad, whatever - and then produce a file optimized for this device.

• Displayed image is larger than the screen size

  Hello

  The display on my laptop is out of wack.  For example, I can move my cursor to the right of my screen beyond where I can see.  Similarly, my bar tasks, which lies at the base of my screen don't are not in sight, however, if I move my cursor where the taskbar MUST be, I can click on windows or programs located on the task bar, then open them (although can not see the thumbs down, or so what is open).  It seems that the computer thinks I have a larger screen than I do in fact.

  I have reformat the computer back to its original and installed all configuration the recommended updates (including updates of drivers) provided by microsoft and still no luck.

  Help!
