Very new to VMware need to free up some space on the host

• BUG: Breaks VMware Fusion when there is free space on the host < 1.9 GB... result = > 1,9 GB never use for anything! (note: I do not use a virtual disk!)

  Hello

  first some info on my system:

  -

  ---

  MacBook Pro

  Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz

  RAM: 4 GB

  HARD drive: 112 Go - 2 partitions (80 GB Mac OS x 10.5.6 32GB, Windows XP)

  ---

  VMware Fusion version: 2.0.4 (other affected versions 2.0.3/2.0.2/2.0.1/2.0)

  Allocated to the virtual machine RAM: 1.5 GB

  Under Windows XP in VMware (boot_camp) partition separated - NO VIRTUAL DRIVE! -separate the NTFS partition.

  -

  ---

  Now the bug/problem:

  Every time that free up disk space on the host partition (MacOsX) becomes less than 1.9 GB the VMware Fusion makes a break with this runtime message:

  -

  ---

  VMware Fusion has suspended this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full.

  To continue, free at least 1.9 GB of disk space.

  -

  ---

  Please prove me wrong, but makes no sense to me, because the result is that these 1.9 GB is never used (or VMware) :-(

  In advance, VMware Fusion allocates approximately 1.9 GB whenever the virtual machine is started then in my opinion this runtime check is redundant and the audit should run only before you start the virtual machine.

  Anyone know how to move this bug to developers or solve the problem?

  It's very annoying not being able to use almost 2 GB of disk space :-(

  Thanks for all the relevant answers :-)

  This is not a Bug! and this is the expected behavior to avoid crashing on OS X and or damage to the system as a result of unexpectedly running out of space.

  If you are currently running disks tight on space you have a bigger problem then do what it's programmed to do my protect the stability of the system, because the user is not paying attention to the State of their own Fusion system.

  Free and maintain a suitable available space as required by the programs that you use, and how they are used.

  It's a result of error of the end user, because you shouldn't be filling your drives and should always maintain a reasonable percentage of free space.

• I'm trying to free up some space on my laptop and I noticed that there are a lot of files of programs uninstalled still on it, I was wondering if there is a good free program to install.

  Hi am trying to free up some space on my laptop and I noticed that there are a lot of files of uninstalled programs still on it, I was wondering if there is a good free program to install to get rid of these files or is there any other easy methods I try I wound appreciate the help thanks

  Where are all these files of uninstalled programs located?

  Usually, when you uninstall a program, all files other than the game save files, customizers, or similar are deleted automatically, and those who are 'left' files are usually readily identified you can manually delete directory.

• New to VMWare, need help with my setup

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to run a specific installation to a laboratory at the House and I'm stuck. at this point I don't know if this is even possible. I have a virtual running Windows server 2012 and a Win7 machine empty. What I need to do, is be able to pxe boot the empty machine since the 2012 server which is running WDS. The service is running, and check all options out_ it is configured as a domain controller and operating dhcp options 60 and 67 correctly configured. Any network settings I try the vm vacuum does not pick up the file of pxe boot from the server... is this even possible or should I try a different product at this point?

  It will probably prove to something simple because I'm new on this but no amount of Googling has done for me so far. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!

  Hello

  Welcome to community work station!

  Practices of related laboratory PXE is supported by VMware Workstation. Here is an example for windows: VMWORSTATION 12 PRO, need driver of storage for MDT

  Some tips for the network configuration of your lab environment:

  1. use an independent VMnet for PXE service, DO NOT use bridged VMnet. And you would NOT use better VMnet NAT (aka VMnet8)

  How to:

  a. click on the menu "Edit"-> "Virtual Network Editor... workstation "to open the virtual network Editor.

  b. click on the "Edit settings" button, accept the UAC warning as appropriate.

  c. click on the button "add a network...". ».

  d. Select a new VMnet (I'll use VMnet2 for example), click on the OK"" button.

  e. click 'Apply' then 'OK' in the virtual network Editor dialog box.

  f. open the settings of your virtual machine VM

  g. Select the tab "Hardware"-> "Network card", this "connect to power on" is checked

  h. Select "Custom" and the VMnet you added

  i. click "OK" in the dialog box settings of VM

  j. Repeat step f through i for all your virtual machines

  2 disable DHCP this VMnet of Virtual Network Editor(Technical speaking, it's not necessary, just in case)

  How to:

  a. click on the menu "Edit"-> "Virtual Network Editor... workstation "to open the virtual network Editor.

  b. click on the "Edit settings" button, accept the UAC warning as appropriate.

  c. Select the VMnet you use for the PXE service

  d. uncheck 'Use local DHCP service to distribute IP addresses to virtual machines' option

  e. click 'Apply' then 'OK' in the virtual network Editor dialog box.

  It will be useful.

• I need to free up disk space

  I'm desperately short of disk space on my laptop (only 40 GB) and need to delete something big.  My suspicion has always been that every XP update, saves a copy of the old/replaced file.  I have used DiskCleanup to remove the restore point.  It helped a little, but I need more.  I have all these $UnInstall directories that take a lot of space.  Can I get rid of these?   Can I delete all the files in the Temp and Tmp directories various?  I do not store a lot of image I need ideas.

  The best idea is to migrate to a disc more
  All Temp / tmp files can be deleted
  Beginning
  Run
  % temp %
  Delete all of the files found, some will be used
  In Internet Options, adjust the temporary files to 50 MB
  Reduce the size of your restore folder

• How to free up disk space on the airport time capsule?

  I want to add a new macbook to my time capsule 2 TB airport but I get the error message "needs space". Is there a way to free up space without erasing the whole time capsule?

  Only by deleting the files in the backup itself. If you use Time Machine, then you'd that uses the Time Machine application. It would be much easier to erase the drive in the time Capsule.

• How to free up disk space for the database file

  Hi experts BDB.

  I use bdb4.6.21 transaction Btree access method, found that after vacuum db db-> truncate, the size of the db file has changed. How to free up disk file db space? It can be configured?

  Thank you

  Min

  Hi Min,

  What Mike says is that you do not expect that the empty space after an operation of truncation (for example a delete or update that empties a page) in the database (empty pages) to return to the file system and therefore to see the physical file size decreases.

  The next section of the documentation explaining this: required disk space

  Space released by removing the key/data pairs in a Btree database or Hash is never returned in the file system, even if it is reused when possible. This means that the databases Btree and hash are to develop alone. If enough key is deleted from a database which shrinks the underlying file is desirable, use the DB-> compact() method to recover disk space. Alternatively, you can create a new database and copy the folders of the former into it.

  
  

  So, as Mike suggested, you can dump and reload the data into a new database, or copy data from the existing/old database to a new (to remove the old database and rename a new one the old name), or you can try to compact the database using the method compact().

  If you use compact(), then in order to force the return of empty for the file system pages when possible, use the DB_FREE_SPACE flag and try to avoid using an explicit transaction (use a NULL tnxid pointer, so this BDB will use internally of several transactions that will be engaged periodically to avoid locking large sections of the tree).

  When you use the compaction in order to free up space and return pages from database empty in the file system that it is generally recommended to repeat Compact with a value low 'compact_fillpercent '.  In addition, the following output statistics fields in the structure DB_COMPACT, compact_pages_truncated and compact_pages_free should be examined to determine if there is a point, continuing to run the compaction with the same compact_fillpercent.  If the values are strict positive it is then compact() calling again with the same compact_fillpercent (and specify the DB_FREE_SPACE flag).  The compact algorithm allows a single pass on the pages of the database;  pages so not empty at the end of the file will prevent the free pages (which are placed on the free list) to be returned to the file system.

  Kind regards

• free vSphere Datastore space and the differences in size of VMDK

  I am listing and sizes VM reports and the amount of space they take on their related data storage. I used PowerCLI to capture this information and have issued the following command to retrieve the data store size and free space: Get-data store. Returns a name, quality and free space. Then, I want to see the size of the VMDK on these data stores using the: Get-Datastore. Get - VM | Get-hard drive. This returns the size VMDK in KB and after you convert in the UK, I sum up the totals and calculate space to subtract from the total size of the data warehouses. I have a lag in information in free space. For example:

  Name FreeSpaceMB CapacityMB

  vSphere 1 63634 511744 storage

  vSphere 2 60576 511744 storage

  The data that I get of you add up all the VMDK located on these two stores of data then subtracting total capacity does not equal free space above. I did this on our entire VM infrastructure and continue to run on this issue. The VMDK must reside somewhere, so why they bring two different digits? Is there a any correlation between the VMDK size and free space? Often my data are disabled by nearly a terabyte.

  In this case less than 50 GB, remember to file vswp, etc.

  But sometimes report is simply wrong in vSphere Client, you can get accurate information in the service console.

• I'm new to VMware and need help.

  I'm new to VMWare and barely installed ESXi 6.0 created a host but now I can not install Windows 2012 r2. Cannot access the ISO. Do I need the plugin integration customer or what. I called tech support and they would not help because I am on trial. Any help would be great. Thank you

  You select the ISO in the settings of the virtual machine and select 'connect at Power On "? Alternatively, you can connect the ISO in the current state (power on) and then press CTRL-ALT-INS to 'hot' start the virtual machine.

  André

  PS: If it still does not work, check that you have a bootable ISO image, for example not only a picture of Service Pack.

• New to VMware - problems with P2V

  I am very new to VMware, so I don't know exactly where to start to get out of trouble. I try to P2V a couple of machines (an older office and about a year laptop) just to test it and get comfortable with the process. I managed with the creation of new virtual machines, but whenever I try to convert one, converter Stand Alone Client shows the conversion as having successfully completed. When I try to run the virtual machine in vSphere Client, all I get is a black screen with what appears to be a progress bar gray little in the upper left of the screen.

  I'm sure that more information is needed, the only thing is that I'm not sure that I have all the information I provide and where to find it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  bstaton,

  Re-convert and go to the SCSI instead of IDE.  This is a bug, here's the cover note:
