voltage of local drives...

Hello

Maybe someone could give me a hint on this!

I want to, for a short time only, add four hard drives 146 GB each to one of my servers to ESX 4.0. I would like to create a store of data on all four disks. Unfortunately I can't create one, then spread with the other three in the GUI. I guess because they are local disks. I used rather vmkfstools and spans two partitions, I created first using the GUI. Up to present, so good, but I cover more than two?

Is there a way to cover or expand all four local drives in a data store?

Thanks for your help

Harro Nehslen

You should be able to do that, if I understand the question correct.

I have created 8 x 1 TB LUN and presented to an ESX host.

Then, I created a data store and all LUNS to end up with a single TB 8 data store added. (I know that this is not recommended, but it works)

If the server see a 1 to LUN or a 140 GB drive, should be the same.

The only difrence will be LUN access through the same HBA and im not sure what is your hardware configuration.

I guess this is a server with a Raid controller card installed.

Create a single logical Volume of the 4 disks using raid with RAID 5 preference

The ESX should see 1 big Disk and you create your data store

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider giving points by checking the answer useful or appropriate. Thank you.

  • I have lost my original photos from my local drive if I optimized my iCloud library?

    I moved my photo (900 GB) library on an external drive. The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos. I'm afraid of losing my originals from my local drive. Optimization of my library will erase my originals from my local computer? I have to delete my old library in iCloud that has already gone through the pain staking the download process (759GB) in order to reuse my iCloud? I try to avoid to keep my computer another 3 months.

    The value in pictures new external player as the new library system library. Now when I turn on iCloud it tells me I have to optimize my photos.

    What is your external drive only has 1 TB of storage?  You have found the warning because the 900 GB in iCloud and the size of your current library on the external hard drive will not fit on the disc. If you have a disc, use a drive twice the size of your library of Photos, so you will not miss storage in the years to come. Any drive that you use with pictures must have Mac OS Extended (Journaled) file system.

    iCloud library does not know, the pictures are identical. It will download all the photos in the library moved to iCloud and check if they are duplicates. And it only allows you to introduce you, if you use 'Optimize', if the combined size of the photos in iCloud and on your Mac is larger than the available storage.

    And Yes, the "optimize" option can cause some originals will be deleted. It is completely dynamic.  You can turn this option off again directly after that you turned the library on the external drive as your iCloud photo library for re-download all original, and before Photos was able to start optimization. Do it only if you are sure, the library will fit.

    If you do not all projects in your photo library and did not use the function "Faces" and has invested a lot of work by naming the faces, you could simply start with an empty library on your external drive and let the photos to download icloud to the empty library. It will be faster to download again and the merger of the library moved in your library to iCloud. The only downside, the tags of faces will be missing and your books and other projects. If you need to keep a backup copy of the library has moved.

  • Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

    Hello!

    I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
    250 GB HARD drive
    C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
    D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
    E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

    Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
    None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

    Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
    Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

    The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

    Thanks for your help!

    P.S. These applications did not help me:
    Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
    Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
    OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
    HDD Regenerator

    Thus you get back all your important data?

    I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

    FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
    But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

    You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

  • Local drive: totally empty D?

    Hey!

    I have a HP Compaq laptop. I use this laptop for 4 years. I have 4 local drives.
    (1) local disk: C
    (2) local disk: D
    (3) new Volume: E
    Presario_RP:F 4)
    So, today, I open my computer, and I see that my Local drive: D is empty. He had all my files into it. But now it is empty. When I click it, he asks me if I want to format. I click on Cancel. When I right click on it, the computer does not respond. Then after a while, it does. When I saw his properties, he said that the used space and free space are 0 bytes in size. Since then, my computer is very slow. Sometimes it gets stuck.
    So, I want to know how to recover all my files and how to speed up my computer. Help, please. Thanks in advance. Here is my card:

  • How to map a network drive, such as a local drive

    I have a program (Samsung Link) that can only detect the local drives to share with my TV. I have a network drive I want to share with her, but it does not detect it (I obviously mapped it and it is visible in Windows Explorer on my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC).

    How can I map the drive so that it will be detected as a local drive?

    How can I map the drive so that it will be detected as a local drive?

    Depends on intelligence and enforcement of Samsung Link needs...
     
    Might be able to create a symbolic link to a local folder (unused) on a local computer and it MIGHT (* could *) can fool the Samsung app.

    symbolic link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194.aspx

    so...

    Map a network share directory, you can use this command:

    net use \\Server\ShareName


    Then... If you want to access the network share through a location on your C: drive, you'll want to set up a symbolic link:

    mklink /d  C:\Folder\NewShareName \\Server\ShareName 
    

    Now, when you browse to C:\Folder\NewShareName, you'll see the content of \\Server\ShareName...
     
    Perhaps IF you could point to C:\Folder\NewShareName Samsung
    (* NewShareName shouldn't exist in C:\Folder before running the command "mklink".)

  • Why I get the message "There are no more files" when you try to save to a local drive?

    I know this question has been asked on several forums, but none of the solutions work, please can someone shed light rained on it.

    1. I tried running SFC scan, but there was no problems found
    2. I tried to run a virus scan and nothing was found
    3. I ran msconfig and disabled startup services and it worked temporarily, then the problem started again very soon and could not establish what services has caused.
    4. unfortunately I do not have a restore point.
    I can save files to a network drive, but cannot be saved to a local drive, its very frustrating.
    Please can someone help

  • I would like to synchronize automatically 2 files on my local drive?

    I would like to synchronize automatically 2 files on my local drive?

    Accessories windows Sync Center doesn't seem to be good tools.

    I would like to synchronize the files that someone shared with me via Google Reader (it is the oner) with a second folder on my local (in a sub folder in my documents)
    What should I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You may need to get a third-party synchronization software by using your favorite search engine to perform the task.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Given that the other person is the owner of the file, he or she may also need to give you permission to share the file/folder.

    For more information, see the article:

    What is Sync Center?

    You can also see the links in support of Google and check if that helps.
