VMware-vdiskmanager and drives > 2 to

Hello world

I have seen this problem with vmware workstation 10.x (don't have not upgraded to WS11 yet).

Using the GUI user workstation, I can create virtual disks rare 8TB size have a SATA personality.

Here is an example of a disc created using the GUI:

$ sudo cat c0t5d0.vmdk

[sudo] password for < user >:

# Disk DescriptorFile

version = 1

Encoding = "ASCII".

CID = 40d7b3fc

parentCID = ffffffff

isNativeSnapshot = 'no '.

createType = "twoGbMaxExtentSparse.

# Description of the measure

RW 4278190080 CLAIRSEMES "c0t5d0 - s001.vmdk.

RW 4278190080 CLAIRSEMES "c0t5d0 - s002.vmdk.

RW 4278190080 CLAIRSEMES "c0t5d0 - s003.vmdk.

RW 4278190080 CLAIRSEMES "c0t5d0 - s004.vmdk.

RW 67108864 SPARSE "c0t5d0 - s005.vmdk.

# The database disk

#DDB

ddb.adapterType = "free".

DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "1069397".

DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

DDB. Geometry.sectors = "63".

ddb.longContentID = "6907f597a5deaf0519a98a1140d7b3fc".

DDB. UUID = "60 00 C2 9th 67 ed ca e0 - 16 e6 c4 73 df d1 75 cd"

ddb.virtualHWVersion = "6".

I tried all sorts of options to do the same thing with vmware-vdiskmanager but no luck (still culminates at 2 TB):

VMware-vdiskmanager - c s 2047GB - a t $0 SAN00.vmdk sata

VixDiskLib: File setting configuration not valid.  Failed to read the configuration file.

Create disk 'SAN00.vmdk '.

Virtual disk created successfully.

VMware-vdiskmanager - c s 8191GB - a t $0 SAN00.vmdk sata

VixDiskLib: File setting configuration not valid.  Failed to read the configuration file.

Create disk 'SAN00.vmdk '.

Unable to create the disc: one of the provided parameters is not valid (0x100003e80).

Any ideas? Or I was just happy that the UI works?

I need to create 2 * 16 * 8 to virtual disks and I did not want to create by hand...

Vincent

The "t 0" option creates a single Extensible disc, which has an upper limit of 2 TB.  Use "t 1" to create a disc of multiple measurement.

With Workstation 10.0.5 on a Linux host here, I can use the command:

VMware-vdiskmanager - c s 8191GB - sata 1 SAN00.vmdk t

and it creates the disk in the form you are looking for, with five degrees, like the graphical interface created.

See you soon,.

    Hello

    I tried to convert a virtual disk in Extensible with vmware-vdiskmanager, but an error...

    ' Could not convert the drive: the system cannot find the specified file < 0 x 1900000004 >. '

    I read a few threads on this subject and they say to delete all snapshots. Don't have any as soon as I used the vmrun program to list all snapshots for this virtual machine and it returned 0.

    can someone help me with this?

    Thanks in advance,

    It seems that there is typo in the file extensions of the virtual disk, i.e. '.vdmk' instead of 'hard '!

  • forced fsck fails but vmware-vdiskmanager says disc is fine

    I'm under Linux Debian Etch in a virtual machine supplied by my employer. Recently, I tried to delete a directory of CLI and GUI and VM Fusion 1.x would die, forcing me to interrupt the process. I finally reduced to the file in question and put it on a directory that intend to leave it there indefinitely. I tried to run vmware-vdiskmanager but in Fusion 1.x, the r repair option was not available.

    Today, I had to restart my image of the linux kernel and I was told that the player had been mounted 24 times without running fsck then a check was forced. It gets exactly to 21.7% in this audit and fails in exactly in the same way (see screenshots). I updated to Fusion 2.0.1 and run vmware-vdiskmanager - R on it and he said: ' no errors not found on the virtual disk, ' another Linux kernel 2.6.x - 000001.vmdk'.» I ran a d - defrag that completed successfully, but the problem persists. I'm unable to boot the image because of this problem.

    I thought maybe I could use the 2.0.1 new star and mount the drive on my Mac and then delete the file from there, and maybe that will fix it. But if I try to install the 00001.vmdk file, I get the error "could not mount the partitions: the virtual disk is not any partition the host system knows how to ride." If I try to mount the biggest hard file, I get the error "it is not safe to mount the virtual drive.  It can be attached to a suspended virtual machine or power, or it can be inside an instant string. "(Maybe I'm not mount correctly?)

    I enclose a cleaning (only attempt) vmware.log file below. If it is not a good way to fix my current VM, is it possible to use vmware-vdiskmanager to copy the content of this image of a new image in a manner that would not have the problem? I have a time machine backup that I can come back, however I can not go back very far or my work is going to be updated. And while the backup will get me the ability to run the image because I get, I'm likely to be in the same boat next time, I need to restart.

    fsck and vmware-vdiskmanager check the work on different layers. VMware-vdiskmanager verifies that the representation of the Fusion of the virtual disk is consistent; fsck checks the comments file system conforms. It's like the difference between check a drive for errors S.M.A.R.T. and make fsck.

    Screenshots can indicate a bad block on the hard disk physical - if the error was limited to the virtual machine, it shouldn't cause Fusion to raise an error. If you look at the end of the log, merge seems not to read the same address and finally gives up. Since we use standard API for reading/writing files, it's probably not a problem with the merger and a problem with the hardware or the host file system.

    I thought maybe I could use the 2.0.1 new star and mount the drive on my Mac and then delete the file from there, and maybe that will fix it. But if I try to install the 00001.vmdk file, I get the error "could not mount the partitions: the virtual disk is not any partition the host system knows how to ride." If I try to mount the biggest hard file, I get the error "it is not safe to mount the virtual drive. It can be attached to a suspended virtual machine or power, or it can be inside an instant string. »

    The biggest file hard is indeed within a chain of snapshot - 00001, vmdk file is a snapshot and depends on the original. Because you are using a Linux host, there's probably an ext2 or ext3 file system. Unfortunately, OS X does not include this, then even if the merger can go "here is a disc", OS X stares at her blankly. There is an experimental ext2 filesystem plugin that would do this job, but I hear it has stability problems.

    I think your best bet is either replace the fsck check (not sure if you can do it, but I suppose naively you can) or boot from other media able to recognize the file system (either a live CD or create a new virtual machine and fix the existing vmdk - if you do the last) (, make sure you use the child - 00001.vmdk not the basic disk).

  • VMware-vdiskmanager converted VHD does not work

    I tried to change a growable HD V to a preallouee

    VMware-vdiskmanager - r vmname.vkmd t 2 newname.vmdk

    is the command that I used

    I put the orig in program files where VMW WS 12 is installed and open an elevated command prompt

    When it's done I copy the new flat.vmdk file where is my VM

    When I try to add the HD (newname.flat.vmdk) it says that is not a valid V HD

    Any ideas?

    I am working with a large file - 350 g stretch which is 150 G right now and I try to do 350 G Preallocated

    Maybe it's not worth?

    Running on a computer laptop w/WIndows 10 Pro host - CPU = QM i4702 w / 16 G RAM

    The guest virtual computer is Win 7 Ult 32 bit

    (Need to 32-bit software that runs only on 32-bit)

    TIA

    The command you use creates two files hard, hard to header/descriptor file and data / flat.vmdk. To use this virtual disk, you need two files and should see the virtual machine to the file descriptor hard configuration (.vmx).

  • What happened to vmware-vdiskmanager?

    Documentaion indicates that vmware-vdiskmanager should be on the host in/usr/bin.  I have a new installation of 5.0.0 and there is no vmware-vdiskmanager that I can find.

    Anyone know where he's hiding?  I really could use it.

    Welcome to the community,

    VMware-vdiskmanager is used with hosted VMware products. For ESX (i) the vmkfstools command can be used.

  • Impossible to find vmware-vdiskmanager

    I am to evaluate vmware ESXi and want to create a virtual disk to be shared between client computers.  All my research tells me that I need to run vmware-vdiskmanager.   I am unable to find it anywhere.

    I used SSH ssh in the ESXi host and even looked through / usr/bin and there is no indication of vmware-vdiskmanager

    Where can I get it or otherwise how can create a virtual disk?

    The guest operating system will only see the size that you have configured for the virtual disk and can only grow in this format. If you need more space, you can change the settings of the virtual machine and push the disc. After that, you will need to resize partitions that you created in your guest OS.

  • USB and drive not recognised on a Mac SuperDrive

    I'm under VMWare Fusion 3.02 with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 as my host and XP as my guest.  When the virtual machine is turned off, I can use connections USB and drive SuperDrive on my Mac without problem.  However, when the virtual machine is on I can't get the host to either recognize but they work under XP.  Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you!

    In Fusion, Virtual Machine, USB.  Click on "disconnect...". "on each item that you want to stop using in the virtual machine.

    To have the VM not automatically 'catch' a USB specific peripheral (s), in the settings, USB for the virtual computer, uncheck the box or devices.

    Do you similar for the Superdrive, which is registered as a CD/DVD in the Fusion menus and settings.

    P.S. The VMware rules

    N ° all THE graphics are emulated, and all instructions are carried out by the host CPU.  Well, technically, the graphics are drawn to the video card in the host / drivers... video and 3d graphics require certain levels of video hardware and driver support.  So if you want 3d graphics in your comments you will need a video card that can support it. but I think that NVidia card, you mention will support him.

  • Question on icloud and drive

    Hello guys, this is my first device from apple so that I don't know much on icloud and drive

    I have the icloud service free with 5 GB with backup works with snapchat and hiking hiking whatsapp, photo library is turned on too which is 2.0 GB

    However I never backed up manually or automatically as my last column 'save' shows EVER, after that the next column said backupsize 1.6 GB

    in the next backupo size it says 1.1 GB, here are my questions

    1] what's the 1.6 GB backup...? I turned only on the backup, I have no BACKUP PRESS button and it was not automatically saved as the last column shows backup NEVER

    2. 5 GB, I have only 3.4 GB of available, I'm pretty sure its related to my 1st request

    I think the purchase of storage icloud, here are a few questions related to it

    a] how is made the backup? I want to say si.jpg is supported today, after a few days when there will be B.jpg C.jpg and so on... will be sauvegarde.jpg again or will he acknowledges in the same file & follow up with those who are not saved, abbr. duplication of files.

    Assuming that I understand your question and the description of the information that you see, the 1.6 GB is the rear size If you choose to save. I have fI recall, auto return until does not start until you have saved actually only once (but can be confused with - its been a while since I created one from scratch.) In addition, automatic back ups occur only when the unit is plugged in, connected to the internet and the screen is off.

    Regarding how the back-up works, it only backs up each time consecutive change and it does NOT keep a delta (i.e. the back only place available for restoration is the last of them, you did. Once you delete data (say a page file), it is deleted the next time the backup device. You will not have many copies of the same file.

    Storage total available iCloud is influenced not only by the back ups, but all the data synchronized if she (Photos and content of the app).

    More than likely, the 5 GB of free space will be meet your needs, at least in the short term. I would wait until you really need additional storage before buy you.
