Where's my storage?

I have a server Dell 2900 with dual core quad, 12 GB of RAM and a PERC 6 / i RAID controller.  The system has two RAID groups: a set of RAID 5 of 3 disks made from 146 GB SAS drives and a set of RAID 5 4 1 TB SATA disks from disks.  Two RAID groups have been completely initialized by the PERC and readers normally also virtual via the BIOS after a start.

Installation of ESX 3.5 U3 on the smallest stack RAID took place normally. The system boots in VMWare with no error message and nothing interesting to research in newspapers.

When I managed the host through VIC 2.5, everything seems normal.  When I look at storage adapters, I see a MegaRAID SAS 1078 type SCSI controller named "vmhba1.  Under "Details", I see two targets, with 272 GB capacity vmhba1:0:0 and vmhba1:1:0 with a capacity of 2.73 TB - both as expected.

The installation has already added the freespace to the smallest table as a group of about 262 GB storage - it seems to behave normally.

Now the question emerges.  When I click on storage storage/Add and then select disk/LUN, I see a device with 2.73 TB of storage (as expected), but only 744,95 GB as "available".

Why only 744,99 GB shows as available?  Where is the rest of the storage on this table?

I searched for hours for a similar problem, but I must not be search terms appropriate because I have not found anything similar.

Thank you

Hello Mark,

Yes, VMware has the same basic form of windows storage problems. The limit of 2 TB...

However, unlike windows where it allows you to use 2 TB and let him ~ 750 GB as unavailable, in VMware it manifests as he reported left AFTER the 2 TB as the space available only "available space".

The only option I know is to redo your berries and put in place in the 2 tables rather than a single large one.

In the end, I went with a 750 GB more small table like datastore1 and the table of 2 TB as Datastore2. It works really nice as I put "data records" on the 2nd largest array and disks 'system' on the smallest that works well with regard to the maintenance of the data if you need to rebuild a virtual machine.

For example, in a file server, the system is running on a drive in datastore1 and the data (documents, files, etc...) lives on a 1.5 TB in datastore2 drive. And theoretically, assuming the system is lost and needs reconstruction, or even if ESX should total reinstall... or whatever, the 2nd store of data remains always intact...

I'm sure there are probably better ways but it works fine for me, while retaining data even after a total reinstall the host and the VM...

I tested ESXi u3 and am currently trialing ESX 3.5 u4 using exactly the same data warehouses. This configuration was allowed in the trash 2 out of my 3 paintings after that I was happy with ESXi and then created new arrays (since ESX needs more space than ESXi) and once again left the third table intact with all my data (1.5 to) on...

Who is? Do not know if I explained myself very well...

Oh and finally, I think that you can also work around this by using "extensions" (properties of your data store and add the measure button)... but not sure that I wouldn't trust this tbh... the same way, I don't really have confidence a RAID0 drive with no redundancy so that makes sense as well...

  • Continuous confusion know where to put storage vs Preview vs Scratch

    I have read and reread and re-re-read information on the topic several times than I can count. But I'm not about to do things.

    I have a D drive which is a RAID 0 with two 7200 RPM Samsungs.

    Then I have my E drive, which is a mirror composed of two Samsung 1 TB of disk.

    And then I have the original external eSATA tube Samsung 7200 RPM, where I have my raw data, sound recordings, video sequences, etc., for several different projects. I generally support this until my external backup each time server I put new things on the disk.

    I'm about to ask some very stupid and basic questions, but I need to in order to get this right.

    When you set up a new project, PremPro in CS5 opens and the GENERAL tab I location downstairs. What is this for? What exactly I'm doing with this specific directory and where it should be located? What is happening here?

    The other tab is scratching the discs.

    I'm beyond confused about what is captured video vs video previews and who goes on what disk and why.

    Can someone clarify this thing for me so that I understand because I just don't understand and I've read the FAQ and tutorials video multuple.

  • Recovery of storage on iPad Touch

    I'm trying to figure out where all my storage space is. My iPad Touch has a capacity of 12.5 GB, but it appears that I have only 486 MB of available space. When I go to the GENERAL > USE of STORAGE AND ICLOUD > STORAGE MANAGEMENT and add up all the apple listed, it shows that I am using only 4.9 GB of storage. I'm also 39 GB in iCloud.

  • historical files won't accept the removable storage like SD card

    Hello

    not until I got my Tablet Surface Pro, I discovered that I am not able to ADD a SD memory card to the library, then having these backup files upwards through the history of the files.

    Historical files only accepts items (drives/folders) that are included in the library, correct?

    SD cards and other (disks) removable storage cannot be included in a library, correct?

    It could have been no problem in the past, but with computers as a shelf where you add storage capacity by inserting an SD card, it would be wise to look at it as a real player and allow removable storage appear in the library, right? I mean the USB portable drives are not really different and they can be added to a library.

    Does anyone know a 'trick' to be a part of removable storage library?

    Thank you

    Frank

    I managed to get the history file to my SD card backup in any first format in NTFS then authenticated users permissions.

    Click right on NTFS formatted the SD card and select Properties then the tab Security , under group or user name , click the button Edit then Add , and enter the user authenticated followed check names, OK etc.

    Then create a folder, such as SD-Documents and then right-click on that folder and select include in library > Documents or library what ever you want added to folder.

    Thanks for the update.  I shifted to its own thread and assigned a more descriptive title to make it easier for others to discover when looking for the forums.

    The video player on the Web site that you are using is not loaded in the case where the local storage is disabled in Flash.

    If you select "Ask Me before allowing new sites to save information about this computer", you will get a prompt when a website wants to store information on your computer.

    If you choose 'Block all information on this computer storage sites', we never go to display a command prompt.  This can cause some content that depends on storage local to fail in unpredictable ways.

    None of these options are really has a good user experience, but is provided to give people a granular control over their privacy options.

    Flash Player private ways or modes of navigation Incognito on major browsers.  In this case, Flash will store information in a temporary directory for the duration of your browsing session, but all this information is ignored when you exit the navigation mode private or incognito.  For most users, this is the way to go.  Advertisers cannot use Flash Player to keep chips that identifies you uniquely for several sessions of navigation, but you provide Flash content that depends on access to local storage with the ability to function normally.

    MSF files are index in the mail folder. It also stores the Tags, but it's main purpose is as an index.
    Files without extensions are the real mail.

    Before you attempt a restore from a backup that will very likely lose something. Check that your anti-virus does not have the file in quarantine is. Pretty common that they scan with new definitions and find something for 6 months which is not a risk.

    Regarding your mozbackup. To facilitate the work with it, change the ZIP file extension. then you can use it as any other Zip file. (windows will be opened like a folder in Explorer) The file you are looking for will be in exactly the same relative position in the Zip that mozbackup maintains the structure of the profile folder.

  • BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart__But when I do the same message appears and now my netbook won't start.

    I'm not a computer whizz and now I fear I can have made a big mistake when I thought I was doing something safe.

    So here's the story, I wanted to do a little more space on my drive hard because I don't have but a small memory netbook. After the usual cleaning disc and other things, I also saw a tick box option to compress all the files and folders on the c: / drive. I checked this box and everything was fine until I stop and it works even today.

    As soon as the first image - the HP logo disappears (with instructions following key below '= change Boot Device Order' and '= ' configuration Options of the BIOS) I get a black screen with the following script in the upper right:

    "BOOTMGR is compressed"... and below, «press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

    However, when I do restart, nothing chages and I come back to the same message over and over. I think its pretty obvious that my 'sting' autour potentially screwed up things good and clean and I would be very grateful if someone knows how to solve my problem and what to do. I tried to study the question, already and so far, I think I might have to reinstall windows, but when I bought this netbook, windows has been installed for me so I did not drive. I don't even have a hard drive anyway. I also read on the windows troubleshooting pages who put the pressing F8 repeatedly until 'start it again from the last record in the point' etc options but it did not work either... unless I'm doing it wrong.

    This is a popular problem with computers HP they have written an article about this (in other words, what happens often):

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/document?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&DocName=c01872275

    Compression is not a bad thing, but in the world where the disk storage is cheap usually not worth - you just buy more storage or maintenance disk Dome (remove things).  Compression can actually slow down the performance of your system too.  I think it's just sort of a vestige of the old days and can have negative consequences today.

    Using the HP article, you can repair your system in seconds after getting into the Recovery Console.

    There is a similar problem with systems not HP where the ntldr file may get compressed and solve it is a little different, but the concept is the same and only takes a few seconds to fix.

    You will not engage in any kind of Mode safe either.

    Enter the Recovery Console may be the biggest challenge.

    You have a genuine XP bootable installation CD?  This is not the same as any type of System Recovery CD which might come with your system.  If you do not, you will need to make a bootable CD from Recovery Console by using a system of work - or physically move your HARD drive to a system that works, repair and put back.

    Your system model number not specified there a CD player?

  • photo frames mini won't autostart

    I bought 4 Kaiserbass mini brand photo digital keychain to give parents like presents and I intend to put my own pictures on the photo frames before you give them as gifts. I connected one of them, who, after having followed the instructions, has connected to the computer and automatically the preinstalled software, introduced a window that allows you to download pictures on the key ring. Once I put the photos I want on the picture frame, I disconnected via the icon "Remove hardware" in the toolbar. I have connected the next photo frame, followed the instructions, but it is not pointing upwards and do not auto starts with the software preinstalled in the photoframe.

    I remember something similar happening once at work, where my usb storage device I had used several times in this computer, would suddenly does not start. A colleague said that it was not recognizing the number/name of the device, and he entered a part of the computer and changed the name of the device so that it would recognize my device again. I don't remember where to go or what to do.

    There, no one knows how to do this, or someone has advice on how I can connect several of the same item and have always them each individually recognized by the computer. I am running XP with service pack 3 installed. Hope that I have listed this investigation under the correct headings

  • laptop HP 2000: hard drive is dead

    Ive got a hp mod #2000 - 2d19wm, his 11 months and I just got an offer to extend my warranty, the day after my drive hard crashed and I couldn't start, no os win8 and I haven't had a recovery disc, (hp said that it system has a cover upwards in the system). Yes! I know that the partetion is on the hard drive! I spent several days troubleshooting, read, learn, and all trouble shooters steps hp gave me hope would be some slap how some sense into my hard drive and maybe he's waking up! Finally, I removed the back cover to check the hard drive, comfirming that it is plugged into the motherboard and all is good! then I see a scratch (I had to get my Jewelers magnifying glass out to see), u shaped a stripe, yes I slipped withdrawal h.d. cover a few days before scratching the back of the plate on the hard drive, don't think that I got it wrong, but I did, closely with the Jewelers tool I see that I removed some of the circuits in copper , I took the blame and bought my own hard drive, I didn't try to cheat the warranty, but i got angry when I saw the robust plastic but who protects the card of 4 GB of ram, Yes under the RAM door is a nice guard protecting are encountered when the door is removed, not on the hard disk where is any storage , its more expensive to replace and I now have got to pay hp $ 30.00 to get a copy of an o.s. IVe already purchased once.  My mess up would not have happened if the hard drive was protection!  but I already own the rights to 8.1 o.s. on this comp with this product key! It should be available for free download for hp with a valid hp STILL UNDER WARRANTY product customers.

    Yes, there is a recovery partition on the hard drive that can be used to restore the plant if the event of a problem.  In your documentation, you had the possibility for your to create recovery discs to restore your computer.  If you don't have them then you will need to buy recovery disks to restore it on a new hard drive.

    BONE loss is not part of the warranty so you should order the recovery disks.

    However, if you have your license key, you can download and create an ISO of Windows 8.1 and burn it to DVD or USB key.  As I said, you must have the Windows 8 key that was originally on your system.  It does not contain the extras of HP software that came with your system.  Here is a link:

  • Redundancy of the Normal ASM - three stores, three groups of failure

    Hello

    I have a question about groups of failure in ASM. I have an ASM diskgroup with normal redundancy and records of three different preparations. Each storage disks are in separate groups of failure (see screen below). I know what ASM allocates to a point as it allocates a copy of copy and the primary mirror and mirror copy is placed on a different disk that is part of a group of different failure. And it is understood for the configuration with two storage (or controllers) and two different groups of failure. But what with configuration where are three storages and failure groups? My question is: If I failed three groups if new extensions are allocated are mirrored are placed on the other two discs are it is a part of a group of different failure? Or maybe this kind of configuration (with three groups of normal redundancy ASM failure) is not supported?

    I know what ASM allocates to a point as it allocates a copy of copy and the primary mirror and mirror copy is placed on a different disk that is part of a group of different failure. And it is understood for the configuration with two storage (or controllers) and two different groups of failure. But what with configuration where are three storages and failure groups? My question is: if I have three groups of failure, if new extensions are allocated are mirrored are placed on the other two discs are it is a part of a group of different failure? Or maybe this kind of configuration (with three groups of normal redundancy ASM failure) is not supported?

    No matter how much you failgroup. Normal redundancy requires at least 2 Failgroup.

    Oracle will allocate primary measure in a failgroup and place the mirror of the scopes in an another failgroup.

    The order does not matter since you always have a copy in a different failgroup.

    See example below (d = data extended)

    FG1 |   FG2 | FG3

    ========|===============|=========

    d1      |   d1_copy:

    |   d2          | d2_copy

    d3_copy |               | d3

    When you create a Diskgroup without specifying the failgroup, Oracle will automatically create a failgroup to each diskgroup. So, if you create a normal with normal redundancy Diskgroup and ASMDISK 10, ASM will create 10 failgroups.

    You have 3 warehouses and 3 Failgroup

    If you loss storage (h/f) ASM will tolerate because you measure mirror in any other failgroup (h, l, square).

    If you loss both storage (h/f) or two different storage disk/controller at the same time ASM will not tolerate. (Need to restore a backup database)

    Your point of failure: you must make sure that the two storages/controllers/disks will still be available.

    If your concern is: can I have a situation where two storage can do fail (or cut) at the same time. Then, you need high redundancy, because this configuration will tolerate you two storages loss (h/f) at the same time and Diskgroup will remain active.

    Experts in the morning,

    What I need to do, is make sure that the second attribute and attributes of 4th and 5th 3rd later cannot be selected until the respective attribute above it has been filled.

    If the 2 attribute cannot be filled unless attribute 1 has been selected.

    Attribute 3 cannot be filled unless the attribute 2 has been selected and so on...

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Jamie, tell us your version of jdev, please!

    Each of the LOV components store their value in storage represented by the value property.  If nothing is selected, the value must be null or empty. If a value is selected (and autosubmit is true) value is not empty. You can use this information to disable subsequent LOV on the page by assigning has disabled the property to an EL as disabled = ' #{empty bindings.myLov1.inputValue) ' where myLov1 the storage of your LOV. This you can do it in any depth.

  • "Fatal error: 10 (from resources)" - ESXi 5.5 U1 with motherboard ASUS Z87-DELUXE - VSAN Homelab

    Looking for help to build my 3 node VSAN Home lab.  This section of discussion has a lot of details to help someone else in the same boat as me (present or future).

    The goal:

    Operation of a laboratory at home with ESXi 5.5U1 where the primary storage is VSAN.  Prescription: 3 hosts at least 2 cores and 8 GB of RAM and at least a SSD and a SATA drive for each host.

    The problem:

    When I try to install ESXi 5.5 U1 on my host (ASUS build details below), I get the message "error loading tools.t00 Fatal Error: 10 (from resources)" during the installation process. Installation process is one USB Flash drive to another.

    When I install ESXi U1 5.1 on the same system, everything works perfectly.  Installation process is one USB Flash drive to another.

    Not yet tried ESXi 5.5.

    What I've done so far?  Too much to mention, but here, it's where I made some progress.


    Custom installer images ESXi to take in charge the following (according to the ESXi Z87 - PRO, Adaptec ASR-6805E, 5.1U , experience before VMware: How do not support SATA AHCI Controller with ESXi 5.5 and http://www.derekseaman.com/2013/08/building-haswell-esxi-server-vsan.html):

    Set up the parameters for the 'Advanced' in the BIOS (F7 in option):

    • Reset the default BIOS (option F5)
    • CPU Configuration - advanced, "Technology of virtualization Intel" ENABLED
    • Start-up, CSM, Boot - devices only (UEFI disabled) legacy
    • Startup, SVM, Secure Boot - "other OS".

    What settings BIOS configurations / had no impact/weird behavior?

    • When I plug SATA and SSD controller SATA Intel colors 'Brown' ports, ESXi can't see readers at all, no matter what VIB files, I add to the ISO image.  So, I had only work with yellow ASMedia controller ports.
    • I have disconnected the SATA and SSD drives, disabled the Intel and ASMedia controllers.  This did not help.
    • I disabled the office equipment that has no benefit to ESXi (Advanced, Onboard Devices Configuration) - controllers SATA Intel etc., embedded wireless, Bluetooth, Audio.  This did not help.
    • Thinking that Thunderbolt could be a problem, I tried to disable adapters Thunderbolt (Advanced, Onboard Devices Configuration) and then I had problems with the start-up of the image ISO of ESXi.
    • I even added this http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2013/09/running-esxi-55-on-apple-mac-mini.html Mac Mini Thunderbolt pilot ESXi ISO image, without success.

    What I intend to do?

    • Upgrade firmware Z87 DELUXE (BIOS update tool does not work, "Violation of security checking" reports, will probably have to install Windows 7 to use the updater tool).
    • Try to install ESXi 5.5, then use AUVS to update 1.
    • Continue to build the whole environment with ESXi 5.1 U1 to burn and continue troubleshooting ESXi 5.5 U1 on a single host.

    What is the hardware configuration of ESXi host?

    • Card mother ASUS Z87-DELUXE-DOUBLE (integrated RealTek & Intel I217V NIC, adapters Thunderbolt, 'Brown' Intel 'Yellow' ASMedia SATA connectors and)
    • Information of Z87-DELUXE-DOUBLE BIOS ASUS 1008 x 64, EC Version MBEO-Z87-0224, ME Version 9.0.21345, Build Date 17/05/2013
    • HASWELL from Intel i7-4770 LGA1150 processor
    • 2 x Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB of RAM
    • 1 x Corsair SSD Force 3 240 GB disc
    • 1 x Western Digitial Green 2 to SATA Drive
    • 2 x Corsair 32 GB USB Flash Drives (one for ESXi ISO image prepared with UNetbootin - homepage and downloads and the other is the ESXi startup disk)
    • No PCI-e adapters (using the integrated storage controllers and network)

    Once I get it working, I'll update this thread and provide a detailed http://www.vcdx133.com/ report

    Upgrade to ESXi 5.1 update 1 for ESXi 5.5 Update 1 via esxcli worked.

    Intel Z87 Serial ATA controller is not recognized by ESXi.  Don't know what driver is missing, but the ASMedia Serial ATA controller works.
