VMFS partition alignment and recommendation of the storage provider

Similar Questions

• VMFS Partition alignment

  We have a small and somewhat new virtual environment.  Most of the clients are windows with a bit of Linux.  Now hear there is a partition with VMFS alignment problem regardless of storage provider.  Can anyone offer any indication as to whether this should be a matter of concern (performance in mind) - should the guests we have already ctreated be realigned?  We have other physical servers connected to an EMC SAN, and even if we changed the starting at 128 block was not any différenec in performance.  If realignmemnt is recommended then what is the best way to do it?

• Extend VMFS partition alignment vs. partition

  I have a (openfiler) iSCSI storage and a host ESXi (running on its local disk) for testing.

  I tried to create VM customers and together start iSCSI. The problem I have is the alignment of partition and extend VMFS partition.

  What happens:

  If I want to align parititon, I need to go up and format the LUN with the VMFS. Therefore, the VMFS partition size is fixed. I'm able to increase the size of the LUN, but I can't do anything with regard to the size of the partition resizing VMFS.

  Another way is to report the storage for the VM client on raw storage. But this way, I can't align the partition because I can't use fdisk on raw storage on CLI.

  My question is: if I want to run SQL server, for example, and want to align the disk for the storage of data and able to rescale the size, how can I do?

  Thank you.

  I don't know exactly what you're asking, but "growing" a VMFS volume does not resize the partition, it is done by adding one "scope" (another partition) and then ESX (i) of the volume manager puts the two partitions together to make a large volume.

• How do I know the partition that is moved within the storage space?

  I'm currently moving the partitions of a table to reclaim space and I do not transfer to another tablespace, in other words, I just move into the storage space.

  The tablespace contains one table.

  The most difficult part of putting them in the same tablespace is now, that I could not easily identify which partition to date is moved. When I created the script to move partitions, I've sorted them all first.

  I asked the DBA_SEGMENTS and learned the segment_type is TEMPORARY and that the size continues to change right away.

  The nom_segment is "37.75756073" and does not say clearly what partition is moved.

  I know that the '37' part. It's a the file_id. But what is this "75756073"? I checked the object_id and data_object_id from DBA_OBJECTS, but he did not show everything.

  I questioned the block_id from DBA_EXTENTS, but neither did - it show the nom_partition.

  Any other ideas?

  SQL > select nom_segment, segment_type, nom_partition, dba_segments bytes/1024/1024/1024 GB

  where nom_tablespace = 'P_SGSN_1_WEEK. '

  Our version of Oracle RDBMS is 11 GR 2

  Watch LAST_DDL_TIME to the USER_OBJECTS partition (the name of the table would be OBJECT_NAME and the name of the partition would be SUBOBJECT_NAME "PARTITION TABLE" would be the OBJECT_TYPE) to identify the last partition that has been moved.  Given that your script is the partition names ordered, you would know the next parttiion after it - such next partition would be one that is currently "moved".

• Avoid loss of data and to increase the storage capacity on EP T310

  Hi all

  I am looking to increase the storage capacity on a PE T310. When I look in disk management it says C: virtual SCSI disk to 232 GB and 11.9 Gb free. Physically, I see 4 HDD connected when I look in the box. Don't know if its reading HARD drive all for or what how was set up that part of my problem. the OS is windows 7 and this I see that the internal controller is the SAS 6/IR. Essentially, this box is used as a centralized storage, but ideally as a server with shared resources. And Im very new to the RAID configuration and working with SCSI. I read the operators manual and I saw many capabilities that this server can do, but I'm not familiar with the activation of these functions.

  Issues related to the:

  1. How will I know which configurations have been implemented for storage?

  2. How can increase storage without losing any data?

  Please help.

  TY!

  >> 1. How will I know which configurations have been implemented for storage?

  You will need to go into the bios of the controller (ctrl-c) to see how arrays are configured.  Software OpenManage won't work on Windows 7, only on server operating systems.  This controller supports RAID 0 and 1.

  >> 2. How can increase storage without losing any data?

  You should have a second table available for storage.  This will be confirmed in the controller BIOS.

  Let us know what is configured in the BIOS of the controller, and we can help you further.

  Kind regards

• Installed Windows on the bad disk partition (C :) and meant for the recovery disc (e :)))

  Hello world

  My question is that I installed windows vista on the wrong partition. When I tried to do a re-install for partition recovery (e), I saw that the drive (C :) local was still installed with my last error when I first installed it on drive C: (OS) that is full. I didn't want to do, that I was going for the recovery disk (E :).

  If I re - install windows on the recovery disk now, he will have to complete partitions. I'm just completely start over as if I first had an empty space to install an OS right the first time around when choosing the right partition.

  It is on a latitude D630, where the BONE was full and the Data 2 which is the recovery disk (e) has free space that should have (c).

  Any help is grateful, thank you.

  Make sure that the important data that you have on the drive is backed up.

• 32-bit vs 64-bit processors, and recommendations for the new computer operating systems

  This message can be duplicated... because I posted in laptop - forum.

  I'm in the market for a new desktop computer and want to do a lot of video editing (using Roxio and Vegas Movie Studio).  I want to know the specifications to ask.  I need to know if it is better to get a 64-bit operating system processor AND... OR... a 64-bit processor and a 32-bit processor or should I just stick with 32-bit systems?   I'm afraid that my drivers and existing software may not be not compatible with 64-bit processors.  I want a system that will be able to also change the HD videos.

  Any help with explanations would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi lcdrdan,

  I use a HP Elite d5000t with Vista 64 bit and I have Vegas Studio 9 installed and it works great. The specifications of the box didn't say it works with Vista 64-bit, but it does.

• How can I remove the video from the independence of my departure to the top firefox and just get the icon of firefox?

  After updating to the latest firefox, 33 in my view, to start I initially get the firefox icon and then it immediately goes to video the independence of firefox (34 seconds). Its irritating and I can not seem to get rid of. Firefox icon shows and then is overllaid by this video. Help me get rid of it! Thank you!

  Here's how to 'fix '.
  Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the search box at the top to enter the below pref.

  You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

  Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > folder view button. Then close Firefox.
  Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + House folder in the profile folder of Firefox to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

  If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset allows to recover the default and start using the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + House file again.

• Pavilion 20-b313w: HP Pavilion 20-b313w reset and reinstall with the full recovery disc

  I tried to remove malware from my system so long, so I decided to do a complete reset. Before I have it I order the recovery for my computer disk to reinstall but unfortunately reinstall option disc never came. The recovery partition has been used to reinstall so my computer. I think my computer is still infected because it is in the partition. And because after the reset there are 3 programs in the control panel to uninstall the list of programs that have been updated without an internet connection because I unplugged my computer to the modem during the reset process everything and I am 100% sure that I have not reconnect before seeing these programs. Also, list of updates installed on the Control Panel showed that the 3 programs had updates installed. As these data are still on my system please tell me it is possible for me to do a true thorough reset that removes hard disk and recovery partition then and I can reinstall everything with the HP recovery discs. And please also give advice on the update after. Should I do Windows updates first or updates of HP first. And when it comes to updating the BIOS there are 3 available updates. Can I download and install all 3 starting from the oldest to newest or just the new version? Then when my Windows 8 is fully updated with the HP and Windows tips on how to reinstall Windows 8.1 (free update of Windows Store, no disc) and update? I know I'm asking a lot, but I want to just make sure I do this right so I can enjoy my computer again and if there is a problem, I'll have some kind of reference to look to see where I was wrong. Thanks to all who read this and I am particularly grateful to those who take the time to share their knowledge with me in response.

  Thank you for the additional information.

  Your best option is to use the recovery media that you should have made when you purchased the computer.  If you do not do this, the only other option you have is to buy the media at HP.  The recovery media will restore your computer to its original configuration and reinstall the recovery partition.

• What is: IDT PC AUDIO - SHANGHAI DEVELOPMENT CENTER? I get this request to declare a 'mistake' and always send the request to the 'centre '.

  In the middle of something on the internet an error request. I get this request of the 'centre' above to respond to the request to report this error

  I always send the request for postponement of this 'error '.  It does not resemble the normal application I use to get from Windows Update.

  IDT stands for "Integrated Device Technology" and is probably the company providing your audio device driver.  Something wrong with the driver or the audio material.  If this happened to me, I would remove the device in Device Manager and reboot to allow the relocation of the unit.  I would also visit the web site of the manufacturer of the PC and download the latest driver for the audio device.  Usually, IDT provides drivers for OEMs and provides no support for the end user.  This can be quite useful: http://www.idt.com/products/audio-products/audio-driver-support-for-users-faq

• ESX host with local storage recommended for the host partition table?

  Hi all

  I know that the best practical partition table should look like this:

  Mount Point	Partition	Size	Description
  		/ dev/sda (primary)
  / Boot	ext3	250 MB	Change of extra space for upgrades
  N/A	SWAP	1 600 MB	Change the maximum size of Exchange service console
  /	ext3	5120 MB	Change of extra space in the root
  		/ dev/sda (Extended)
  / var	ext3	4096 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with log files
  / tmp	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with temporary files
  / opt	ext3	2048 MB	Create partition to avoid overfilling root with the log files of VMware HA
  / Home	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with agent / user files
  	vmkcore	100 MB	Pre-configured

  However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

  Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

  Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines
