Video: vSphere4 Unleashed: 06 – Storage vMotion
A new, thin and compact video! Here we’ll demo the new GUI based storage vMotion feature built-in vSphere. Yes, GUI based and built in, no more command lines and hassle. It’s fast, it’s easy and it’s very reliable, especially when doing the thin/thick conversions while you’re migrating the VMs.
Happy viewing!
Video: vSphere4 Unleashed: 05 – Hot-Add and Thin-Provisioning
In this video I’ll be demonstrating the following in order:
- Enable the Hot-Add/Plug in the virtual machines.
- Hot-Add memory for a VM and increase it from 512MB to 1GB.
- See from the VM’s Task Manager the new amount of memory available for the GOS.
- Hot-Add a new NIC, and configure it on the fly.
- Thin-Provision a new 10GB hard drive for a VM.
- Hot-Expand the new hard drive from 10GB to 20GB.
- Extend the volume live within the GOS using the “diskpart” tool.
I have the Storage vMotion & vCenter linked-mode recorded and will be publishing them this week. Stay tuned!
