VDP - small discs of data

Hello

Can someone tell me if it is possible to deploy POS with smaller disks (less then 256 GB)?

For the data disks 3 x 256 GB of my lab at home is a real waste of space, and I've even not so much to do.

I used VMware Data Recovery, but I have upgraded to vSphere 6 and VDR is no longer connecting to vCenter or ESXi 6.0

Hello

Yes it's true, but who could make me another problem, I do offsite backup to a USB disk with rsync and that would make me to copy the entire 265GB disks, I don't think that rsync is very well with discs of thinking available.

In any case, I think that I found the problem with VMware Data Recovery without being able to connect to ESXi / vCenter 6, I think it's the SSLv3, I went down to my previous 5.5 and VMDR connects ok, but then I've upgraded to 5.5U3b (which disables the SSLv3) and VMDR can't connect anymore.

I have activated SSLv3 5.5U3b ESXi and vCenter 5.5U3b and VMDR now can connect again

I'll try this with 6.0.

Thanks for the help anyway.

  • Disc SSD data store unavailable after reboot

    I have a Kingston SSD drive installed in a Dell T620 SAS (Controller H710) basket bottom. It is configured RAID 0 (disk). Therefore, it is OK, and I created a data store using the full disc. It works very well in the virtual machine that it is assigned to you. However, when I reboot and look in the configuration of the storage is not there. I can add and it remembers. The bad news is that the virtual machine, it is affected to cannot start as long as I add back in manually.

    A look at the list of devices, it shows that mounted. The difference between it and other readers is it says unknown partition format, it also says non - ssd.

    I'm just against a unit of failure in charge here? I do not see the SSD drives listed in the list of supported devices, but I hardly find this page.

    Hi Lou

    Why do not connect you to a port SATA (my last one)?

    This seems to fix. Also, he appeared as an SSD and remembered all the stuff.

    I guess it has to do with the SAS/RAID connection. Will try another drive to be sure.

  • Block size is too small - reformat the data store or create files VMDk 2?

    Hello

    I'm new to VMware and so far I absolutely love everything about her!  Well, I was not too happy when I realized that I can't create more than 256 GB a drive without reformatting the VMFS datastore.   Apparently, I accepted the block size of 1 MB by default during the installation...   I now need to configure a file server with about 500 GB of storage.  The data store with a larger block size (4 MB would be fine for me) reformatting is easy enough?  I am currently working on the first host ESXi 4.1 and will move to set up 2 more hosts in the coming weeks.  I read somewhere on the forum that ESXi 4.0 doesn't let you change the block size by default of 1 MB - is this true or relevant to 4.1?

    Currently, I have only 2 small VMs on that host, and these can be easily saved and put offline for a few hours, if necessary.  When starting the server, I created a single RAID array that holds ESXi and all virtual machines - does that mean that I have to reinstall ESXi in order to increase the size of the block?

    An alternative that I can get to is to simply create 2 255 GB VMDK each and load distribution of storage in the guest operating system (Win 2008).   Performance wise, is a disc more great and better (or worse) than the two smaller disks?

    On a related note, what should I choose for the "Independent" option when you add a new virtual disk?  Default is disabled (not independent).

    Your thoughts, focus and expertise are welcome and will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,

    Dothan

    Dothan,

    You should power (after the virtual machine backup) remove the current data store and create a new one with the new block size. I did not have this on ESXi 4.1 again, however, he worked on ESXi 4.0.

    The maximum size of VMDK. If you want ot be able to take pictures, make sure you subtract twice the size of block in GB of the documented maximum size.

    Block size 1 MB--> 254 GB (= 256 GB, 2 GB)

    Block size of 2 MB--> 508 GB (= 512 GB - 4 GB)

    Size of block 4 MB--> GB 1 016 (= 1 024 GB - 8 GB)

    Block size of 8 MB--> GB 2 032 (= 2 048 GB to 16 GB)

  • Migration of the partition of the BONES of a small disc to a larger drive.

    Original title: how to install a new boot disk to replace an old small in a system with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium...

    I wanted to replace the old and smaller startup disk in my computer with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium.  I backed up all the files that could be saved by Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium on an external USB drive.  I installed a new drive (IDE 2 Master) in the computer, in addition to the initial startup disk (IDE 1 Master).  I can start the computer from the diskette of starting old very well.  I loaded a new version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium to the new drive using my installation DVD.  Now, the computer can boot from two disks, with a choice that is offered at boot time.  I have restored all the files that have been saved to the backup of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, and I discovered that it does not back up or restore any of the installed applications, device drivers, etc...  Here's the question: can it restore the old system on the new boot disk without going through the task very very laborious to reinstall everything?  The old drive is intact, and everything above can be read when the system is booted from the new drive.  I need to upgrade the version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium?  Should I buy a backup or restore the software that makes the restoration of the former, but intact drive?

    Here are a few pieces more real information that might be useful:

    (a) I actually wiped the initial startup disk, I had replaced own (I still have the backup on the external USB drive) using the Western Digital software.  It is a procedure well wipe with many references in the literature, not only writes zeros to each sector once. As such, it takes a long time to do this, but who does not easily a problem, as the machine worked on it during the night so that I slept, and about 11 hours later, he introduced a disk cleaned 297 GB (more than 320 billion bytes, actually), that works very well as IDE Channel 2 auxiliary memory virtual or such operations training.

    (b) the E-IDE drives are called PATA (parallel ATA) drives today, and they are readily available.  The SATA drives are serial - ATA disks.

    (c) after all the above, I have a new boot disk without defects and with all this work on IDE 1 channel and a clean swap (and others) 2 Channel IDE drive.  For example, disk of Microsoft Windows Vista performance index went from 4.3 to 5.8, which is a significant improvement in performance.  The machine is only limited by the CPU itself to a performance Microsoft Windows Vista to 3.5 index, which means that there no flow data bottlenecks in your computer because of its devices (including memory) that has been to limit its performance.  This isn't bad at all, for a machine that is about 9 years old.

    (d) I typed this message and the previous on the computer after the upgrade of the startup disk.

    500 GB drives should work as long as they are a manufacturer reputible, like the ones we have on our list of approved readers. Additionally, make sure that both hard drives are of the same manufacturer, capacity, and speed control.

  • Multi disc layout data merge in the unique text box

    Is it possible to merge the content of a CSV into a single text field? Currently using CS3.

    CSVmerge.png

    I did something similar in the past. My process was to import Excel into a database, such as one that is available with NeoOffice (Mac) / OpenOffice (PC).  From there on, I exported a record of the fields in the order I want them to appear.

    Maybe it's not a necessary step for you, but for me, there was a lot of additional data in the excel file that I didn't need... and there are over 100,000 rows of data that I had to get out into regions by the State, etc.

    In InDesign, I used a series of paragraph with 'Next' Style styles to form a sequence corresponding to the configuration of the records.

    For example, with your example, I can see two styles of paragraphs with nested styles.

    Style of business (with the business in the following Style address) name

    Style of address of business (with the trade name as following Style)

    Business address would have a nested style

    Blue character style "BOLD" - to - 1 - (ball)

    [No] - through - 1 - end nested Style

    There were a few required cleanup of import, but once this was done, I could select the content in the history, just right-click on the style (brand name) and select "apply, then style following" to have the entire list quickly format.

My XP PC can read the disc on reinstalling Microsoft Works, which has the word inside program. Windows 7 will be able to read these discs of data?

    Hi steve,.

    Just to make sure I understand, you have the Word documents on them with backup discs and wondering if they will be recognised by Windows 7.
    If this is the case, then you should not have to worry. Windows 7 will read the disc properly. However, as with XP, you will need to install the correct program that you would use to open files.
    In other words, if they are Word documents, then you will need to have MS Word installed or installed works for viewing.
    Hope this helps and let me know if you need more information.
  • Bug report - activate the quick start causes filesystem corruption and loss of data for Windows 8 NTFS when it is used by Windows 8 and Windows 2008R2SP1

    My hard disk configuration is as follows:

    Disc 1: 0.5 terabytes
    Disc 1 - Partition 1 Windows 2008R2SP1
    Disc 1 - Data Partition 2
    Disc 2: 1 terabytes
    Disc 2 - Partition 1 Windows 8
    Disc 2 - Data Partition 2
    After you install Windows 8 RTM and used for about half a day, I started in Windows 2008R2SP1. From the start in Windows 2008R2SP1, I had "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency", and it proceeded to chkdsk both the 2008R2SP1 and Windows drives data. No problems were detected
    I don't think a lot of it... and goes to copy several files from disc 1 - 2 Partition on drive 2 data - data Partition 2
    Then, I started Windows 8 RTM one 2 weeks later and told me that 'one of your drives should be checked for consistency", and it proceeded to the chkdsk disk 2 - data partition 2 and found a small number of questions. But after that, all files, I had copied in 2 Disk - Partition 2 data were GONE!
    So I decided to reboot and start Windows 2008R2SP1... and I got the "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency" again this time what we found thousands of questions! He supposedly fixed, but my files (more than 200Gbytes) still LEFT!
    I believe that it is this same problem: the bug - report serious corruption of system files and loss of data caused other NTFS de Windows 8 CP readers but I think it was not fixed on CP, and it is now on GTR!
     
    One more thing why this site (http://answers.microsoft.com) don't have any option to ask questions about Windows 8 RTM? I had to choose' other/unknown '
     
    Update:
     
     
     
    Apparently if you use the option "Turn on the quick start (recommended)" in your Power Options, when you turn off your machine, it's not really turn and that's why he won't let NTFS in a consistent state, and so, if the disc is read by another Windows, it will try to 'fix' cause corruption...
     
    This could mean, even a double start between 2 windows 8 facilities system would auto destroy...

  • Need help to replace a physically C drive on several computer disks. I can't LOOSE the data on the secondary drive.

    I got 2 hard drives, a small disc with XP Pro and a big drive for storage and memory intensive programs. The disc is dead - physically (he's grinding wheels), not because of software problems. I managed to boot from the XP disk and copied as much as possible on an external drive to install on a new hard drive. Externally will not take the backup file. After that I restarted depui the XP disc, my secondary drive is no longer recognized. I copy the contents of the C drive on an external drive. Here are my questions:
    1. can I ghost the info on a new hard drive and skip the installation? Reason I have CS3 on drive F, but it components installed on the C drive (where CS2 was before I upgraded). I do not have my Adobe CS3 here records because it allowed multi, and my records are currently out of State with the other licensee.
    2. If I install the new disk, starting from the old drive with XP disc, can I ghost? (I have a tour customized for several readers) When I started the drive C before - he tried to install on my F drive. I have not installed (I can't lose the files on drive F), and now the computer does not recognize the drive. I bought a Seagate drive and they have great software for installation - so I'd like to ghost it. The XP disk reduced to nothing the new drive hard as he did the F drive?
    and finally, question 3. When the new drive, I get up and running, can I sign out the F drive, plug it back and Windows will see it? CS3 & Quark will still work if I have to do a fresh install?

    Hi jdohugh,

    Thanks for posting. If I read your post correctly your hard drive with your operating system on it died, so you lost your operating system and do not have to reinstall but you try to get down the important data before the reinstall.

    1 Q: can I ghost the info on a new hard drive and skip the installation? Reason I have CS3 on drive F, but it components installed on the C drive (where CS2 was before I upgraded). I do not have my Adobe CS3 here records because it allowed multi, and my records are currently out of State with the other licensee.

    A. Si your drive with your operating system does not work, I do not think you can ghost it and reinstall as the image would not work. With Adobe CS3 disks, you will need to contact Adobe and get them to perform the installation of additional supports. Simply copy the files likely will not work to reisntall the application.

    2. Q. If I install the new disk, starting from the old drive with XP disc, can I ghost? (I have a tour customized for several readers) When I started the drive C before - he tried to install on my F drive. I have not installed (I can't lose the files on drive F), and now the computer does not recognize the drive. I bought a Seagate drive and they have great software for installation - so I'd like to ghost it. The XP disk reduced to nothing the new drive hard as he did the F drive?

    A: as I said in question 1 if your operating system drive does not an image would most likely fail or be corrupt. If read correctly the other part of the question you the system tried to start installation on your f:\ that matches your drive program and now you cannot access the files on it? With the last part of this question, you will need to contact Seagate to see what makes their software, I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish by using.

    3. Q. When the new drive, I get up and running, can I sign out the F drive, plug it back and Windows will see it? CS3 & Quark will still work if I have to do a fresh install?
         
    A. Si you reconnect an extra drive to XP, the operating system should see it regardless of what it was connected to previously. With regard to your programs, if it is a new operating system you load then Yes, you will need to reinstall these applications on the operating system, and they should work with no problems provided that the drive is working correctly.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

  • I had to buy a new disc for Windows 7 I have install all previous versions of Windows?

    I have a C drive which is now too small, and I need to buy a hard drive much more. I am running Windows 7 64 bit (complete edition).

I have all the installation discs that dates back to Windows 2000 (XP Vista, then 7, then), as well as all product keys. Help is greatly appreciated.

  • Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

    Hello

    I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

    Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

    I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

    Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

    I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

    I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

    Sigmoid wrote:

    Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

    A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

    OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

    Let's do it this way

    1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
    2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
    3. make the BACKUP!
    4. Disconnect the data host drives
    5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
    6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
    7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
    8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
    9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
    10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
    11. begin to ESXi
    12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
    13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

    I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well
