Convert the virtual disk to Eager Zeroed Thick

Convert the virtual disk to Eager Zeroed Thick:

  • If the VMDK virtual disk is of type Thin, convert the disk to Eager Zeroed Thick using the vmkfstools --inflatedisk command.      
         
         For example:
         
         vmkfstools --inflatedisk /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk
         
         Note: The inflate command reports the percentage of completion.
  • If the VMDK virtual disk is of type Thick, convert the disk to Eager Zeroed Thick using the vmkfstools --eagerzero command.      
         
         For example:

    vmkfstools --eagerzero /vmfs/volumes/DatastoreName/VMName/VMName.vmdk
         
         Note: The eager zero command reports the percentage of completion.

VMware与Cisco DRAC中的virtual disk的对应关系

笔者面临的问题如下: 笔者有一台Cisco C240的服务器, 其中有十块容量一样大的SAS的local disk, 一块SSD. 其中的两块SAS盘组成了一个RAID 1的virtual drive. 其他的九块SAS盘都做成了独立的virtual drive. 那么问题来了, 我们要在RAID 1的virtual drive上安装ESXi. 该怎么选? 下图中是ESXi的安装界面, 可以看到盘的大小都是837.26 GiB. 无法区分. 查看具体某一块盘的detail的时候, 可以看到更多的

X86服务器虚拟化的资源划分和性能优化

概述:虚拟化是一个广义术语,通常是指计算元件在虚拟的基础上而不是真实的基础上运行,是一个为了简化管理,优化资源的解决方案.服务器虚拟化则是一项用以整合基于x86服务器,来提高资源利用效率和性能的技术.本文从企业业务系统和管理角度出发,着重分析研究了X86技术架构下,虚拟网卡与SR-IOV.NUMA.虚拟磁盘格式相应的特点,并探索了不同应用场景下的资源划分和性能优化方案,希望能够通过多应用系统下的实践和最优配置,来提高X86服务器的性能和资源利用效率.1 x86虚拟化两种常见的架构对于x86虚拟化

【WMware】关于VMware服务器虚拟化管理之服务器容量扩充

将服务器物理资源抽象成逻辑资源,让一台服务器变成几台甚至上百台相互隔离的虚拟服务器,我们不再受限于物理上的界限,而是让CPU.内存.磁盘.I/O等硬件变成可以动态管理的“资源池”,从而提高资源的利用率,简化系统管理,实现服务器整合,让IT对业务的变化更具适应力--------这就是服务器的虚拟化.服务器虚拟化能解决服务器扩张.资源消耗.服务器扩张.能源消耗.高可用性等相关问题. 在VMware虚拟机内部署服务器时,需要虚拟配置各种硬件,其中在配置硬盘时,格式有三个选择:厚置备延迟置零,厚置备置零
