• Complete zero to VMFS and vmdk using vmkfstool w

  Hello community,

  We are studying now "Zero detect' function on IBM SVC Thin provisioning.

  SVC Thin provisioning Volume is unable to note removal of file on VMFS, so we need a way to fill blocks, we don't use on VMFS with zero.

  Can we apply "vmkfstools w" command to VMFS?

  We know that this command is vmdk, so that we can create or translate vmdk format to another.

  but we do not know that this order may apply to VMFS or not.

  We managed to run this command for vmdk(/vmfs/volumes/xxx/xxx.vmdk) and cannot run a VMFS (/ vmfs/volumes/xxx) on our environment.

  Anyone know this specification?

  afalk, vmkfstools you can only ask vmdk only.

  For writing on a lun, can use DD.

• LabVIEW and TestStand compatibility chart

• Microsoft enhanced Point and print compatibility driver printer driver is not installed on this computer

  We are running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit (using VMware View 6.1) virtual work stations and the connection of users to a printer Xerox 4 Type driver/file being hosted on a Windows R2 server in 2012. The driver on the server is listed as "Xerox WorkCentre 7970 V4 PCL6" and when the user of Windows 7 connects the driver appears as "Microsoft enhanced driver compatibility point and print. In the "Print Management" client Win7, it appears as the 6.3.9600.17415 version

  The Printer works fine during their Windows session, they disconnect you and when they connect in the print queue is still there but when you right click and go to "Printer properties", he throws the following error

  "The printer driver ' improved point and print compatibility Microsoft driver" is not installed on this computer. " Some printer properties will be unavailable, unless you install the printer driver. You want to install the driver now? »

  Deleting the queue and then add it again resolves the problem for Windows session, you're.

  Note: we use Persona management of VMware to save data from the user profile of the disconnections from the virtual offices are non-persistent. I've been able to reproduce this in Windows 7 using a virtual office, I can't reproduce it on my physical Windows 7 machine.

  We get around this by using Group Policy and a vbs script to delete the queue on logoff, then another script to add back on logon, but it's just a band-aid.

  In addition, a Type 3 driver works fine in all of disconnections but we need the Type 4 driver in this case.

• Virtual machines with VMFS and LUN VMFS-no?

  Is it possible to attend the ESX3.5 VMFS and Non-VMFS LUNs virtual machines simultaneously?  We are totally an environment totally VMFS/Fiber Channel VI with Windows o/s.   Although we have all our virtual machines that reside on a VMFS LUNS storage has asked if it is possible to have Non-VMFS LUNS presentable at our VM and VMFS?

  I think I remembered that Non-VMFS storage can be made available as storage but do not know if the two can be presented at the same time

  It can be done with a RDM and no special software required.

• ESXi 5.5, 5 VMFS datastore / vmdk size question

  Trying to check that I understand the vmdk for esxi 5.5 size limitation.

  If I have a VMFS 5 existing on my 5.0 esxi hosts, data store once I update my hosts to esxi 5.5 that I would then be able to have vm with vmdk is greater than 2 TB?

  I don't have to create new warehouses of data VMFS 5 after the upgrade to esxi5.5 take advanrage of the change in file size limit?

  Thanks for any help.

  That's right, at least in part. In addition to the upgrade of the host, you must also upgrade the hardware version of the virtual machine (Compatibility Mode) to take advantage of larger virtual disks (up to ~ to 62). However, always keep in mind the time needed to restore the virtual disk together where this is necessary. With 1 Gbps - assuming that you have the full available bandwidth - 2 TB will require more than 5 hours already! Then maybe organize the data in several virtual disks may be a better solution.

  Can you please how can I resize this disc. Also, I'm confused about the disparity between the hard disk geometry information in the descriptor vmdk file and the output of the fdisk.

  Concerns

  Ivan

  I always used to gparted to expand the vdisk, I don't think that you can recreate the partition as it already of the filesystems on it.  You will have to destroy the current partition and recreate if necessary.  Be very careful because this could result in loss of data.

  Is there a reason you want to recreate rather than simply extend your existing partition?

• Satellite Pro L870-15F and missing compatibility Windows 10

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite Pro L870-15E.

  I saw in a compatibility list, that I was sent via Tempra that my laptop is not compatible-10 victory.

  How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

  Concerning
  ARI

  How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

  I guess that in this forum from a user to anyone will be able to answer this question, but from my point of view of a few each notebook / computer manufacturer must decide which models would get additional software support...
  Toshiba released still many laptop models in a short period of time, and in my opinion that it is not easy to provide support for all series laptop... so somewhere it is necessary to make a clear cut...

  But you can still install Windows 10 laptop and I am sure that the system will work perfectly, but probably some portable devices is not available due to lack of software...

• Satellite Pro L10 and Vista compatibility

  Hi all.

  Being a 3rd year computer science student I feel like I should be able to answer this myself, but since this is a laptop and not a desktop computer, I'm stumped.

  I'm looking to upgrade to Windows Vista when it launches and I ran the compatibility for her Wizard and its lifting to the top a major - the graphics card. Now, I know that it is not possible to switch from a graphics card on a computer laptop because its actually on the motherboard itself, but it says that my Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller has 64 MB of memory and requires 128 mb.

  So here's my question - is - a can move the memory associated / assigned to this card?

  In addition, he said that it must have the support of 32 bit / pixel which once again is not my card. An update of the driver would help or should I resign myself to the fact that Windows Vista won't be compatible with my laptop.

  Bravo guys,.

  Scott

  Hello

  The fact is that this card was delivered with a 64 MB shared memory graphics card.
  This is a maximum value of the memory that the card can manage.
  I wonder every day on the question about Windows Vista and compatibility issues. The fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market.
  I'm sure that Toshiba will support the Vista in the future, but right now, there is no drivers Toshiba for this OS.

• Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel - Vista and Win7 compatibility

  I just bought a good condition Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel from eBay. I didn't know he was as old as it is and I wanted to know if drivers exist that will offer all the features for the wheel. I saw messages in various forums of 2007 saying that no driver is for Vista which will offer all the features. Posts here I have a problem with the default Vista driver who has the throttle to 100% all the time - is not ideal.

  Having just bought a Dell computer with a free upgrade to Win7, I just saw this
  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Microsoft%20SideWinder%20Force%20Feedback%20Wheel%20Game%20Controller&v=Microsoft&uid=A16-00041&pf=0&pi=9&c=Mice%2C%20Keyboards%20%26%20Input%20Devices&sc=Game%20Controllers&os=32-bit
  say that this material is taken in charge, but when you follow the link to the software in is not what needs to be downloaded. It say that it is supported under Win7 makes me hope that driver for Vista situation has been resolved, but I see no mention of those on the web.

  Anyone can shed some light on this?
