VMDK size is not equal to the size of the comments

I'm using vmware workstation 7.13 and build a virtual machine with win xp as a guest operating system.

I put the vmdk as thin provision with size max 15 GB

inside the guest os he say she used 2 GB (I check the size of the vmdk file in the host and the same 2 GB so)

then I test the guest operating system by placing a large file (about 3 GB) and to increase the size of altogether 5GB vmdk

but when I remove the 3 GB file which resident in the guest operating system, the size of vmdk are 5 GB

so the question, not the size vmdk is not resize depending on the size of the guest?

I tried to compact and defragment the vmware workstation tools vmdk file, but it does not change the size of the vmdk file

I put the vmdk as thin provision with size max 15 GB

Thin configured virtual disks are for ESX 3.x and higher and cannot be created by the user of VMware Workstation interface.  The user of VMware Workstation interface creates Sparse or Growable type virtual hard drives.

I tried to compact and defragment the vmware workstation tools vmdk file, but it does not change the size of the vmdk file

Free space must be cancelled before the shrinkage and compaction to a virtual hard drive and this is accomplished by using the function of narrowing of the VMware Tools in supported operating systems and file systems or other methods of zeroing free space should be used first, and then compact.

  • Firefox 4 for Mac after upgrade I can not type in the comments of several web sites area

    I've upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta very well executed) and now I can't type in the text boxes on a number of websites and surveys etc. For example on the Gigaom site I can not type comments (the name is fine, but the comments box does not work). But this is just one example. I ran across it on three other sites. Any ideas appreciated. (OSX 10.6.7, works fine on safari)

  • NPIV enabled on the virtual machine, but not seen in the comments

    Hello

    I have a 5.0 with an HBA qlogic esxi. I created a VM and rhel is installed.

    Then I activated the npiv on this virtual machine and saw that it generated node WWN and port WWN.

    However, when I logged in the comments, I am not able to see the names of ports in

    / sys/Class/scsi_host/Host {n} / device / fc_host:host {n} / port_name

    Are there additional configuration on the side of the virtual machine to allow the WWNS within the guest?

    Thanks in advance.

  • USB HDD is not available in the comments (XP)

    USB HDD icon in the 'system tray' merge and hover above him, I get "Disconnect Western Digital hard drive", which is a correct list of the device.  However, I am not able to browse the HARD drive.  Does not appear in the 'readers' work stations.  It is listed in VM settings and the box is checked, as is "enable USB 2.0 support" and "automatically connect USB devices.  I also edited the VMX file to add the following parameters:

    "usb.generic.allowHID ="TRUE"

    usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE"
    

    or what improvement in the situation.

    appreciate any help.

    VMware Fusion does not a "system tray" but the Interface of VMware Fusion has a status bar.  Take a look at: VMware Fusion (menu bar) > help > VMware Fusion help > navigation in VMware Fusion > overview of the Interface of VMware Fusion

    However, I am not able to browse the HARD drive.  Does not appear in the 'readers' work stations.

    There all the devices in the Device Manager Windows and more specifically under Bus USB controllers?

    How is the formatted USB hard drive, FAT32, NTFS, or Apple HFS +?

    Before running VMware Tools for the first time, you must

    Configure it to your kernel running on the

    following command: "/ usr/bin/vmware-config-tools.pl".

    Config tools... He'll try to compile tools for your kernel, make sure you have the kernel and GCC installed headers.  If the compilation fails, there should be a build any - any for the "vmware tools" somewhere on this site...

  • DT of a waveform is not equal to the sampling frequency

    I wrote the attached VI to take data from two different channels, 1 a cell, and the other being an encoder. I have my calendar synchronized with the entry load cell. The question I have is that at different sampling rates high for the program, does not change my dt in my waveform data.

    If I understand correctly the dt of the waveform should coincide with the sampling frequency. Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance for your help

  • Why is the number of images in LR 5.3 not equal to the total number of images.

    Down at the bottom with tray slide in Lightroom, it lists the total number of images displayed, followed by the total number of images that is then followed buy the number of selected images. Once in one of my catalogs, it displays "all photographs 3872 of 3883 1 selected.  I have no filters on.  In the catalogue on the left side box, "All photographs" I selected.  So, why it only shows me 3883 3872?  How will I know what the 11 photographs are that it does not appear?

    I saw a previous post where someone was weird numbers in order to synchronize the folder and they used "Export as Catalog" and he cleaned the wobbly catalog.  Considering that you have only a few thousand files, it should go quickly if cut you everything in the export.  You can then load the new catalog and see if he deleted things upward.

  • WLC 4400 not authetnicating between the COMMENTS and private networks

    Hello

    I have a problem. I have a 4400 WLC and the meeting I m problem is that when an authetnicates of user to the private network, then tryies to autheticate the guest network, it just stays there, it does nothing. All around, if authenticate you with the network of comments and change the private network, it just sits there. I have showing that the problem is with the authentication, but do not know if I m correct.

    Can someone help me? What ifnormation will take to recover from the WLC see there the rub?

    I'll get the debug mac addr and repeat the question to see if I get anything for the customer.

    Thanks for the help

    I would check if his blocking on obtaining IP address or authentication. Probably try to manually set the IP address if you switch between networks and see if works.

    You did not first louyo 'NAT or Bridged?' question but its context was not perhaps not clear even if, after seeing...

    [root@test-host ~] # ifconfig

    eth0 Link encap HWaddr 00: 0C: 29:55:EF:96

    INET addr:192.168.241.0 Bcast:192.168.241.255 mask: 255.255.255.0

    RUNNING BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 metric: 1

    It is not really important because despite everything, it is patently obvious what is the main problem!

    The IP address of the guest operating system is not set properly!

    louyo asked 'NAT or Bridged?', meaning is card virtual machine network configured as a 'NAT or Bridged?' if it has been filled, the guest operating system would have an IP address on the 192.168.0.0 subnet IP and as NAT would have an IP address on the 192.168.62.0 IP subnet.

    Configure the guest operating system to use DHCP or manually assign a correct IP address while setting the virtual machine Network Adapter is connected by a bridge or a NAT.  Since the host uses a Wi - Fi connection, I suggest using NAT and if manually assign an IP address must be between 192.168.62.3 and 192.168.62.127, as that is beyond the scope of the DHCP Server VMnet8 IP address Pool.  If you choose to use Bridged can use DHCP in the guest operating system or using an IP address that is outside the scope of the routers IP DHCP Server Address Pool and for that, you need to check the Configuration of the router.

    You didn't say which VMware product or version you are using however I strongly suggest you read the documentation and specifically Chapter 5 "Configuring network connections" in Using VMware Workstation (PDF file).

  • Merger of WinXP VM does not start using the workstation

    I have a virtual Windows XP computer that was created using Fusion 2.0 that I can't seem to start under Workstation 6.5.3 or Workstation 7 RC.  When starting under my computer, the virtual machine does not start and simply display a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.

    To give you some background, I have a Macbook Pro configured to dual boot OSX 10.6 and Windows 7 ultimate (64 bit).  I can boot under OSX and run the virtual machine very well under Fusion.  However, if I boot into Windows 7 and you try to run an exact copy of the virtual machine Workstation 6.5.3 or Workstation 7 RC, I get just the cursor the left upper corner of the screen and the startup process appears to hang indefinitely.  Any ideas?  Here are the last few lines in the newspaper of vmware:
