• vSphere on iSCSI SAN disk size

  Hello

  I installed the 5.1 version and will also use VMWare View.

  I see in the documentation that there always a size of 2 TB drive but also given conflicting reports on that.  I tested it and I see that he can see more then 2 TB.

  My question is if I want to 2 TB standard or can we go more then 2 TB and if yes, what size Max now.

  Thank you.

• Envy touchsmart 15 - new HARD disk size

  I recently ordered a Touchsmart from HP Envy 15-j005sa that has a 1 TB HARD drive. I'm looking to clone the orignial in an mSATA SSD drive so I was wondering what size is recommended.  How much space is used when it is new so using this information can buy a large enough disk size?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  There is that little clone options b clone the HARD disk which means that you have the mSATA SSD equal or more 1 TB (b) clone c ONLY: This means you the mSATA SSD equal or superior to c:... My suggestion: shrink C: for small size say even 60 GB or 120 GB (if you don't have a lot of programs installed) FRONT of clone and ONLY clone C: normally larger (capacity) is better because you can install more programs that him.

  Kind regards.

• disk size problm after copying a large file to the VM then disconnected

  Dear Sir

  I have a VM with allowances dynamic storage virtual hard drive of 300 GB,.

  HE on that disk space is 50 GB.

  Ive copied on it a 100 GB file so now space space disc is 150 GB and 150 GB is free.

  Ive deleted the file 100 GB of the virtual machine, but am supersized now that the file of the virtual machine is still 150 GB in size.

  What should do? as it fits the 50 GB after deleting the file from the virtual machine.

  Hello

  Yes it is planned.

  You have copied a huge file in the virtual computer-> who is the virtual disk in order to accommodate the new file->

  You remove the huge file-> your take off just to comments operating system, the file in the list of the directory->

  Your data is still there, it does not erase the data and rewrite from scratch.

  In order to recover the disk space, you need a number of things:

  -first of all your guests, OS file system must be supported (Windows FAT/NTFS is)

  -Your guest must be stopped

  -The type of the guest operating system disk should not be preallocated.

  -Your host operating system might need a lot of free space on the drive according to your VM disk configuration.

  If stored in several files, you must have a few GB free (size of the Ramdisk / 32) Go, but say more than 4 GB, keep 10 GB free to be on the safe side.

  If your virtual machine is stored in a single file, so you must have your used VM disk size + a few GB of free... for example. If your virtual disk is currently using 200 GB you need tell 204 GB free before starting the operation of a compact disc.

  Then in the configuration of VMware go into settings of virtual machines:

  

  Use the 'Compact disc' button.

  Be very very patient and wait, because you want to get 100GB which will take some time.

• How to get the maximum disk size for a powershell prompt

  Hi guys

  I tried all day to get the value of the maximum disk size allocated to a virtual machine. Using get - view I can see the actual size of disc but when I look at VM via 'Edit Machine' I see ' hard disk 1' ability to 40 GB and and size maximum (GB) to 97.5 - How do I get this maximum size via powershell?

  See you soon

  Sparky

  Near there, it is actually the amount of free space on the data store over the current size of the hard drive.

  With this script, you can calculate the value

  foreach($dev in (Get-VM  | Get-View).Config.Hardware.Device){
    if($dev.DeviceInfo.Label -like "Hard Disk*"){
      $dsFree = (Get-Datastore (Get-View -Id $dev.Backing.Datastore).Info.Name).FreeSpaceMB
       $diskSize = ($dev.CapacityInKB / 1Kb)
       $MaxSize = $dsFree + $diskSize
       Write-Host "Maximum size for" $dev.DeviceInfo.Label "=" ("{0:f2}" -f (($dsFree + $disksize)/ 1Kb)) "Gb"
    }
  }
  

• Increase the size of the disk in question VM

  Hi all

  I would like to increase the size of a virtual disk in one of my virtual machines. The guest is Windows 2008 Standard. The disc, I want to express is currently 25GB. I would like to add an additional 50 GB. I increased the size of 75 GB using the vcenter server. When I go on the computer, virtual disk management, I was able to extend the drive and it shows as 75 GB, but under 'My computer', it shows that only 25 GB.

  There is plenty of space on the LUN. There is no photos of the virtual machine. The disk is thick. All properties show the disk as 75 GB.

  I don't really know where to go from here.

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance.

  Dean

  Hello.

  I've seen this before.  I usually add another 1 GB for the VMDK and repeat the process of extension in Windows to fix.  Not sure why it goes well.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite P200 - 1 K 8: used twice recovery - disk HARD size question

  Hello

  I was wondering if you could help with a little advice, I had to get my laptop p200 yesterday, it went well, but I noticed there was a 14 GB used in my hard drive, I know that vista is pretty big so I thought nothing of it, but due to an error of installation of some software, I had to get back again , this time I seem to be almost 24 GB used when there is no vista just the files on my computer. (I uninstalled all the software Toshiba because I don't use it either) any body have any ideas what it could be I know not on the score of 1.5 GB for the recovery, but I'm stuck as to where ive lost 10 GB

  Any ideas or help would be very appreciated

  Concerning

  Richard.

  Oh I forgot to add I can't with partition magic and I've added the files I have 7 GB now in program files and an installation of vista 14FR adds up not to anywhere near 36 GB, which is what is used on my hard drive

  On my laptop, setting it up like this:

  200 GB HARD DRIVE

  1.5 GB for Vista EISA (used to fix Vista) recovery partition
  6 GB for the recovery Partition Toshiba (used when you restore the HARD drive to its factory State)
  190 GB for Vista (its really about 178GB GB vs BillionByte of conversion and the Table of Allocation of files)

  In Control Panel-> Admin Tools-> computer-> Storage-> disk management management, you can see the partitions. Take a look here for something unusual

• Weird Time Machine question after restoration

  Hi all

  First post here so go easy on me

  I'll try and make this as brief as possible.

  I've been running an iMac 27 "2010 end (still running Lion 10.7.5, but it is stable so I have not found the need to modernize) and NAS from Synology DS212j with TB 2 * 3 disks for the last 3 years. I've set up time service Machine through DSM on the Synology with a quota of 1 200 GB for my iMac which worked perfectly while all the time, during which I restored the weird file without problem.

  Recently, for a number of reasons, I felt the need to update the OS of El Capitan to provide specific features that only there, so I made sure that my last backup was not serious and went through the upgrade process. It took a while but seems fine, but in the end, I became artifacts of the screen during the exchange between the office computers and for the worse, completely locked Mail machine as soon as you have clicked on an email. A lot of research on Google and all the patches applied but no joy, I decided to restore Lion and watch a clean install of El Crappo thereafter.

  At through the process of full restoration without problem and he has restored from the DS212j without a single question (took about 14 hours but again, it worked) and my Mac was back as if nothing ever happened. Happy days!

  Shortly after that, although the problem started with Time Machine backups do not tell me that there is not enough space on the destination to save my machine...

  1. I look into my quota on the NAS (the bit you set to ensure that backups are not the entire disk) and it tells me that there are 820 used GB which I guess is my backups Time Machine original that nothing should have changed on the NAS.

  2. I don't seem to be able to see the Time Capsule shared queue Station disk even after display in shared folders, it should he appear?

  3. I unhid it and he could ride through cmd & k and using smb / / nom_lecteur/Time Capsule so I can now see the volume in the Finder.

  4. I can see there are 2 * sparsebundle files, one for my iMac and the other for Macbook Air my wife. The file for mine displays a last updated date/time of a few minutes ago, but no size of file. The woman shows well, last time/date and file size (he stayed very well throughout this btw).

  5. when I enter Time Machine on the iMac all my historical incremental backups have disappeared and the only backup who shows also available is the date to which I restored from, nothing before and obviously nothing after because there is no space.

  I have not a clue what going on here, but it seems to me like it after restoring my sparsebundle file (which is always on the NAS and must be intact) is there, but for some reason the iMac cannot see/index / register or see one of the backups that are contained in.

  Apple support tried to help but actually said that they don't support anything other than an official time Capsule and Synology must implement the Time Machine in a different way because he could not find the sparesebundle file, only the tf volume content when it is mounted by trying to start the backup.  From what I read and checked the forums of Synology and the sheets, they don't do anything outside the norm with regard to the Time Machine application, it's literally just a network volume that stores the sparesebundle in the same Apple so designed, then why on Earth after restoring my iMac do not see the content of this sparsebundle file , and why it consumes disk space?

  So, what I'm looking for help, is this (or questions):

  A. How do I look inside the time Capsule (this is what I call the Time Machine shared disk) to see how many files is there and if there is a GB 820 that contains all the data from my legacy?

  B. someone at - it an idea how the iMac see and recognize the original file should be here?

  C. If I were to remove the rare bundle that I peut see, will that potentially be old and will be that free space that is held open and allow me to perform a full backup from scratch?

  D. If C is not the original file remains hidden, no idea how I can find...?

  E. do I have other options that you can think of...?

  Sorry, that was supposed to be brief, but I wanted to make sure I had all the info there to allow people to understand what has happened and what I did to try to resolve so far.

  Thanks in advance

  See you soon

  Hello

  Unbalanced disc can cause the missing disk free space does not allow to make any allocation to a disk group because each file should be evenly distributed across all disks by ASM political stripping.

  Configuration asymmetric discs and some operations on ASM disks can create this type of problem. Frequently, the problem must be resolved after a succesfull rebalance as much as all the drives have the same storage capacity, and there is no underlying hardware problem.
  The most common reasons may be the following:

  1 - the capacity of the disks within the ASM diskgroup are different
  2 - ASM instance is shutdowned normal/immediate before rebalancing is complete.
  3-disc is a FALL / HUNG State
  4. after an order to add disk rebalancing is still in place

  You can also try:

  ALTER DISKGROUP FRA CHECK ALL REPAIR;
  

  PS: Make sure you have these files on FRA was backed up somewhere safe.

  Kind regards

• Reported disk size difference - VMware Fusion vs Vista - confused!

  If I look at the settings in VMware Fusion I tells me that the guest is 80 GB. If I look at the size of the disk in Vista it tells me that I have 40 Gb (only 3.7 GB free).

  Without knowing too much about the subject, it seems to work empty.

  I searched posts for discussions on related topics, but I always have the feeling to come to a set of instructions very complicated for the allocated disk space size increassing.

  VMware Fusion brings 80GB for the comments, it seems that I don't need to do anything.

  I hesitate to start messing around with complicated if instructions that is not necessary.

  Can someone please advise.

  TIA

  Ritch

  When you say merger reports the 80 GB drive, you view this setting in the Virtual Machine menu merge request, hard disk--> hard disk settings... command, correct?

  Who initially drive 40 GB when you created the virtual machine, and then you've expanded the 80 GB hard drive using the command I mentioned above?

  You could do a little easier to help if you provide more complete information in this Document HOWTO: ask (and answer) Questions

  If expand you the disk after the initial creation of the Virtual Machine, have you followed all the steps of Vista in this document increase a virtual disk using Fusion 2.0 and Windows Vista?

  Depending on your answer to these questions, we can probably offer more help.

• for the iBooks file size question

  Hello..

  With a view to monitoring of storage space on a MacBook Air without 85 GB of available space, someone knows on what an iBook, file size can be?

  Thanks in advance!

  Carolyn

  Hi there is Carolyn!

  Looks like you are looking to see what type of file sizes to wait for iBooks. This article seems to answer this question directly:

  On iBooks

  Size of files

  The typical book is about 2 MB. The books that contain improved, audio or video, features vary in size depending on the content. Enhanced books could take longer to download than a standard book.

  The iBook Store also offers manuals that might be larger than 1 to 2 GB of file size. You need a Wi - Fi download them on an iOS device. Time to download textbooks vary depending on your Internet connection.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  Hi, I have a laptop CQ60-422DX. I went to disk management via the search box on the start menu. When I looked at my scores, I saw that I have the standard C drive and the recovery partition. However, I have seen an additional partition listed. There is no drive letter or name, but its size is 199 MB and it is supposed to be a primary partition. Does anyone else have this additional blow?

  Well Yes, it is the volume/partition windows system... it contains files that are needed for starting Windows...

• How can I friendship recovery disk size D?

  Computer of Gateway comes with Vista Home Premium, I added 1 SP.  He got a HDD GB 116; divided into a player of Local 'C' GB 106 with 70 GB of free and a RECOVERY drive "D" of 10 GB which is full.  How can I increase the size of the RECOVERY disk?

  Hello gydcgreen54,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  What kind of computer Gateway do you have?  You made a copy of the a ' drive for a restore point?  Most of the OEM (manufacturers) include a restore on the computer partition. This partition contains 'all' on the computer at the time, it was built and is used to restore the computer to its original state - in some cases that a CD/DVD is also provided. Recovery is to start from a CD or «Press F11...» "message at startup.  Some manufacturers make the partition hidden or inaccessible to protect.

  I also recommend to check with gateway support based on your make and model under/forums.  Please state councillor.
