Vmkfstools Windows 7
Posted:adminMoschnij impuljsnij blok pitaniya dlya umzch na 1000 vt 1. Feb 8, 2017 - This week I was converting a bare-metal windows server into an ESXi host while. Failed to open disk scsi0:0: Unsupported and/or invalid disk type 7. Vmkfstools -i /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/folder/workstation.vmdk. Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) If you need to install or reinstall Windows 7 you can use this page to download a disc image (ISO file) to create your own installation media using either a USB flash drive or a DVD.
I'm facing a strange issue with my virtual machine. I have an rhel 6.1 guest os running on VMware workstation (9.0.2 build-1031769) hosted on Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit. The size of the vmdk file is around 65 GB whereas the total size of the guest os is only 11GB. What am I missing here?
[root@praveenVM praveen]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 95G 11G 79G 12% / tempfs 499M 340K 499M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 124M 61M 58M 52% /boot There was some temporary files in /var (Unnecessary logs), which I have deleted now and hence the used space is around 11GB. But why is that the vmdk file is around 65GB? Having deleted all the unnecessary files in the Guest OS, the size of the vmdk should automatically decrease right? It appears that VMware isn't able to do much to compact ext4-formatted drives. The solution is that you need to fill the drive with zeroes and then delete a file that you used to do that. So: sudo su cat /dev/zero > wipefile; rm -f wipefile shutdown -h now Basically, you become root, you create a file filled with zeroes and then you delete it and shutdown the machine.
I ran the above code a moment ago, and watched a few things as I did: • I suspected the vmdk file would grow to the size of the disk, but it didn't. It grew slightly, but not much. This was good because my host does not have space for the full vmdk file. • I suspected drive on the guest would fill up.
I watched it with: while: do du -h sleep 2 done The guest disk started at about 15% full, then climbed to 100%, at which point the cat command failed and the wipefile was rm'ed, bringing it back to 15% full. I've seen a few posts that also say you should do this for /boot. Probably a good idea, but I don't think it's always necessary.
Once that's complete, go into the machine's settings > Hard Disk > Utilities > Compact., and you should be all good.
