• Plan for the creation of new virtual machine with 3 TB data drive

  We have an old server, we need to virtualize, and one thing that we need is a lot more storage. We have approximately 3.25 TB of available for this machine (250 GB for the OS and 3 to for the data drives), but I'm going in circles trying to find the best approach for this server. It is not possible to separate the data between several players because of the way the files are indexed. I have created a virtual machine with 2 TB of disk space (for the readers of OS and data) and added 1.25 TB of disk space I want to add on the data reader, but it does not seem possible to add 1.25 TB without destroying the data on the first disk of 2 TB. What is the best approach? Create a single disc for my virtual machine that is 250 GB and then add in two separate disks of 1.5 TB for storage and combine them within Windows?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the maximum size of virtual disk to a virtual computer is 2 TB - 512 bytes. In you case it should create two or three separate virtual disks and combine them (disks RAID 0 or concatenate). Another way (IMHO besser way) is to create several virtual drives and mount using NTFS mount points.

  An example:

  C:\Data is a folder on one of the virtual disks. Create a second virtual disks and create the C:\Data\Data2 folder. Rather than assign a drive letter for the newly created disk, you can mount it in the Database2 folder. This gives you the ability to move the largest files on separate virtual drives without lose you the structure of folders.

• Default directory for the creation of new virtual machines

  Is it possible to change the default folder for new virtual machines in the data store? Then, instead of esxi always create virtual machines directory under / you can have create the folder in a subfolder.

  Must be removed. I just watched ghetto HA script a lamw to see if she could be easily adapted to do. I don't think it would take a lot. It would automate the task of the cancellation of registration, travel and re-entry.

• Get the number of virtual machines per ESX host

  I am able to get the account with the following script command, but what I want to do is to report a 0 if there is no virtual machines on a host.  Currently it just show nothing if there are no VMs.  Any suggestions?

  Get-VMHost | Sort - the name of the property. Select Name, @{N = "VMCount"; E={($_ | Get - VM). County}}

  You can add an IF in the part of the expression.

  Try it like this

  Get-VMHost | Sort-Object Name | Select Name,@{N="VM";E={if(($_ | Get-VM).Count){($_ | Get-VM).Count} else {0}}}

• What is the Maximum number of virtual machines that you can have in a HA cluster in VC 2.5 Update 2?

  as in the subject...

  AFAIK VMs per host maximum is 40 in the case of cluster HA with 9 or more guests. Yes 40 * 32 is 1280 VMs for cluster HA 32 hosts.

• Question about the size of my Virtual Machine

  I'm on Fusion 3.1 (and Windows XP in Fusion on a MacBookPro Leopard). I put my Windows Virtual Machine to be 40 GB size but I just ran OmniDiskSweeper and it shows that the virtual machine takes 53 GB. I see the same size in the Finder.

  Two questions: first, how is it possible for the virtual machine to limit growth, I gave him? Second, is there a way for me to downsize (safely). I did not quite in the virtual machine (mainly my installation of Windows) and a handful of programs so it's weird that she's so big.

  I have disabled Auto-protect.

  I have two snapshots, one of when I first set up the virtual machine and one of very recently. I once had a bunch of other photos but I deleted them. I mention this because I read in another thread that "orphan" instant can hang out somewhere but I don't know where to look to see if this is the reason for the growth of my virtual machine.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  One thing I didn't get your last answer: if snapshots are not backup, and the creation of a snapshot causes the basic disk that you want to stop growing, which are good for snapshots? Or in other words, your response, it looks like I should stop creating snapshots, Yes?

  In which case I should rely only on periodically manually save the virtual machine by copying in the Finder on an external drive?

  What I said was "Snapshots are not backups in the traditional sense of the word and should not be relied upon as such either." However, using clichés absolutely has merit and value but how to use them effectively and efficiently seems to escape most of the users.  As a general rule, I treat a not different Virtual Machine and a physical Machine, then when it come to back up the user data and the ability to quickly restore the entire construction as well as user data.  I use snapshots mainly for short periods of time, and then either delete them when I don't want to lose changes made along the way, or if I go back to a previous snapshot.  For example, I can run on a given snapshot and say a single snapshot for a week and if all was well I'll delete it and take another or if I need to do something that could end up with bad results I'll take a snapshot to do what I do and if I have a problem just go back to the previous snapshot or the basic disk as appropriate.  The trick is user data constantly backed up out of the Virtual Machine itself, as well as at some point in time I never have to worry about the State of and reason for any data or instant and what action I might have to or want to take.

  There are many other cases workers scenarios about how/when to use snapshots and it was just a bit of food for thought because I don't have time now to get deeper into it but the snapshots are a good thing to use as and when necessary, but do not count on them to replace the traditional methods/methodologies for backup/recovery of data user or any backup/restore system but use then as a another tool in the digital Toolbox.

• Creating a property for a Total of your virtual machines

  How can I create a custom property to the total number of virtual machines in my report, such as:

  Get - vm | Select the name,

  @{N = "TotalVMs"; E = {TotalTheNumberOfVMs}}

  Thank you!

  Something like that

  $vms = Get-VM$vms | select name,  @{N="TotalVMs";E={$vms.Count}} 
  

  Note that this simplistics rather than he doesn't face not VMs returned.

• What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac

  I got my photos sorted by year and month in iPhoto, app Photos The destroyed that.  What is a good replacement for Photos for Mac I had digital pictures in 1999.  It will take me months to recover.  So what is a good replacement, needless organized storage edition, just logical.   Is there a product that I can export Photos to the?   The Photos application is too slow and freezes; It's just all around a mediocre product.

  Migrating from iPHoto to Photos doesn't "destroy" anything - it keeps your albums events and converted into albums - pictures 2.0 vs iPhoto 9.6.1: features and capabilities - how many Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  and of course iPhotos 9.6.1 still works very well - if you do not keep your system up to date see can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

  You can export Photos in keeping the Organization of moments - you can export iPhotos keeping the exporting from iPhoto event organization

  As to products - it's your choice - you can use the finder to organize into folders and preview to display pictures - or you can use one of the many programs available ranging from the free to the very expensive

  I use Photos so am not upward on the different options and I suspect most of the volunteers here are the same and the answer is going to be personal anyway - no one but yo can do

• What vmnic driver to use for the spine of 10g

  Hi any recommendation on what vmnic driver to use for the virtual machine if I have a spine of 10g? I use Vcentre 4.1 U2

  Hello.

  This will depend on the guest OS, but if you just want pure performance then VMXNET 3 would be the one to try. Also check out the kb VMware "choose one network adapter for your virtual machine.

  Good luck!

  How to check what Qt application is run for the first time? I need for the creation of trial version of my application. Any help is greatly appreciated

  Probably use file data and put an I_ran_at_least_one_time file and verify its existence. This file is not accessible to the user and is not changed even if you upgrade the application.
