Increasing disk size in Parallels?

I just migrated my old iMac to a new 27" quad core i5. I moved over my old Parallels configuration - parallels 5 with Win XP and am trying to do an upgrade to Parallels 6 and Win 7. Parallels 6 installs fine but when I try to add win 7 it tells me I don't have enough disk space allocated. I have a 1 terabyte drive but can't figure out how to allocate more to Parallels. Currently I have only a 7 gig allocation for my virtual machine. I have tried to use the Acronis disk program Parallels suggested but just don't have a clue on what to do.
suggestions?

By default, the Automatically option is selected. In this case, the total amount of RAM to be allocated to all running virtual machines is automatically calculated by the system based on the following main factors:
the total amount of memory installed on your Macintosh computer and
the amount of memory required by Mac OS X for its operation.
The allocated amount of memory is shared among all running virtual machines.
*You can configure the amount of physical memory for a particular virtual machine on the General tab of Virtual Machine Configuration.*
You can redefine the default behaviour and manually set the amount of memory to be reserved for all active virtual machines. To this effect, select the Manually option and specify the needed value by:
dragging the slider, or
using the spin box arrows, or
typing the value directly into the field

    I want increasing the space in c1t0d0s0. when I installed Solaris 10 I do not looked attentively the size allocated
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to increase the size of the root partition (where you installed Solaris) which resides in c1t0d0s0. I think it can be done using Concatenations from Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
    I have tried it in non root partition like /export/home and it is very easy.
    metainit -f d0 2 1 c1t0d0s7 1 c2t0d0s7 //this will create volume d0 as a concatenation
    growfs -M /export/home /dev/md/rdsk/d0 //this will grow the /export/home partition

  • Increase disk size for virtual server

    Hi,
    A virtual server system drive is currently at 90%full. How to safely allocate more disk space to the system drive of that virtual server without causing issues to the installed Operating systems on that drive.
    I read through the Virtual Iron documentation and nothing mention about increasing disk space for virtual server.
    Thanks in advance for response.

    Hi,
    I was hoping to increase the virtual storage of the drive attached to virtual servers and not the actually physical storage.
    I was looking around in it and found was able to increase the disk space by by editing the virtual storage disk.
    I tested creating a new disk (5GB), increase the disk space(10GB) and login to virtual server and extend the new disk with the unallocated disk space.
    It does seem to work and appear as 15GB.
    I just concern if windows operating is installed on that disk, will it cause any issue if I extend it with the unallocated disk space?
    Or it's safe to do so?
    Many thanks.

  • Increasing disk size with Nw5.1 Sp8

    I'm currently running a Dell SC430 with two 80gb SATA drives. The OS is Nw5.1, Sp8. I want to replace the non-system drive with a much larger one, maybe up to 1 to 2 Tb. Is there any limit in Netware on drive size? Is there any known hardware limit as well?

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

    I believe 2 TB is the maximum size of an NSS partition, and I think you
    can combine four of those for a max-size of an NSS volume (8 TB). With
    that said, I doubt many NW 5.1 environments ever saw that kind of storage
    and if it doesn't work then fixing it may not be fun.
    Good luck.

  • Increasing disk size in windows server 2003

    Hello,
    Am running a file server on windows server 2003. And i have 3 partitions as C, D and E. Where as D & E having 1 TB each. My company user documents are mapped to D as well as E. Now my D drive is running out of space and i have around 800 Gigs
    free space in E drive. I would like to move some of the free space from E drive to D. Am bit afraid to use diskpart command to extend the volume also not sure whether diskpart will help me.
    Can someone please guide me..
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    "Extend Volume" only allows you to extend a drive into contiguous unallocated space (on the right). In this case you can only merge unallocated space to D drive. If you want to merge noncontiguous unallocated space to C drive, there are two solutions. Please
    refer to the article below:
    How to Merge Unallocated Space to C Drive without Losing Data?

  • How increase external disk size used for an existing file system, Solaris10

    Configuration:
    Server: Sun T5220
    S/O: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
    Storage: EMC AX4-5
    EMC PowerPath: PowerPath Version 5.2
    I have the following scenario:
    In AX4-5 storage array, I created two LUNs into RAID Group 10, with Raid Type1/0:
    LUN 101: 20Gb
    LUN 102: 10Gb
    Both LUNs were added to Storage Group (SG1) that includes two Servers (Server1 and Server2); both servers have Operating System Solaris 10 5/8 and Power Path.
    The servers detect both LUNs across two paths. With Power Path were created a virtual path (emcpower0a, emcpower1a) to access to each LUNs respectively.
    We have mounted two file system /home/tes1 over emcpower0a -> LUN101 and /home/tes2 over emcpower1a -> LUN102.
    Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
    /dev/dsk/emcpower0a 20G 919M 19G 5% /home/test1
    /dev/dsk/emcpower1a 10G 9G 1G 90% /home/test2
    I want to increase the space in file system /home/test2, without lost the information that I have stored and using the same LUN, LUN 102. To do this I start with the following steps:
    1-     Create new LUN, LUN 103 with 15Gb into RAID Group 10. Result: OK, I have available space in RAID Group 10.
    2-     Add LUN 103 to LUN 102, using concatenation option. Result: OK. This action creates a new metaLUN with the same characteristics of LUN 102, but with new space of 25Gb.
    After to do these actions, I want to know how Solaris recognize this new space. What I need to do, to increase the size of file system /home/test2 to 25 Gb. Is that possible?
    I reviewed the description of each disk using format command, and the disks not have any change.
    Could anyone help me? If you need more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Robert, thank a lot for your know how. You helped me to clarify some doubts. To complete your answer, I will add two more details, based on my experience.
    After to execute, type -> auto configure and label, the disk was created with different partitions like root, swap, usr, like this:
    Volume name = < >
    ascii name = <DGC-RAID10-0223 cyl 49150 alt 2 hd 32 sec 12>
    pcyl = 49152
    ncyl = 49150
    acyl = 2
    nhead = 32
    nsect = 12
    Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
    0 root wm 0 - 682 128.06MB (683/0/0) 262272
    1 swap wu 683 - 1365 128.06MB (683/0/0) 262272
    2 backup wu 0 - 49149 9.00GB (49150/0/0) 18873600
    3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    6 usr wm 1366 - 49149 8.75GB (47784/0/0) 18349056
    7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    This was not convenient because all information stored appear in the first slice and growfs not work if appear root or swap slice into the disk, for that reason was necesary to recreate manually every slice with partition command. The final result was this:
    Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
    0 unassigned wm 0 - 49149 9.00GB (49150/0/0) 18873600
    1 unassigned wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    2 backup wu 0 - 49149 9.00GB (49150/0/0) 18873600
    3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    Now, execute again the label command to save the new information.
    Mount file system and execute:
    growfs –M file_system mount_point to expand the file system to 9Gb.

  • How to Increase disk image size of SAM

    Hello,
    I am trying to increase the disk image size. I am trying to increase to about 6G, but SAM just refused to load the image.
    So, is there a limit in SAM about the virtual disk size? Or is it limited to the physical memory of the system?
    I have read the thread http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5239257&tstart=30 and http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=837&threadID=5286038 about enlarging the disk image.
    I am using OpenSparc T2 Arch 1.2 and the int12 boot bundle. I am wondering if I should change to the sasdisk for a try.
    It is strange, that I previously ran the simulator on a Solaris Express (actually 5.11), and it worked fine.
    But now I changed to the Solaris 10, then it failed.
    Thank you.
    Jim

    As it turns out, the way to make the image appear larger on the page is to edit and increase the size of the signature "box" on the pdf (under Forms > Add or Edit Fields), to considerably larger than the form might indicate.  Otherwise, the signature is constrained to the just the size of the small field on the pdf.  Interestingly, as soon as you do so, the signature appears "bolder", likely just because there is more of it.  Thanks for your suggestions!

  • Is it possible to increase the disk size of a vm's system disk in ovm 2.2.2

    I am running OVS 2.2 and OVM 2.2.2 - I have imported a OEL 5U6 template and created a machine to try and install OHS on .. unfortunately at about 95% through the install I run our of disk space - so I want to be able to increase the size of the drive... unfortunately the templates from edelivery dont seem to have lvm volumes so I cannot simply add a 2nd drive and extend the partition that way.
    any help on how I can get round this is appreciated.

    It may be that you need to do that in the storage section in OVM 2.2 - I have updated to 3.x as soon as it was released. If you are not able to expand the virtual disk itself, you can also create a new virtual disk and create a LVM pv on that one and add it to the LV of the system volume.

    Hi,
    Based on my knowledge, circular logging is not recommended in a normal Exchange production environment. Also, enabling circular logging is not a long-term option.
    I recommend you disable it and do a full backup to solve your issue.
    For more information, here is a thread for your reference.
    enable circular logging (Note: Though it is Exchange 2010, I think it also applies to Exchange 2013 about this issue)

  • I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported?  I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

    I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6.  before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume.  The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported.  How do I increase the size??  I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC.  Please Help!!   I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

    This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
    Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
    However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

  • Increasing filesystem size in disksuite

    I need to increase the size of a file system on a Solaris 9 server. The filesystem is apparently a metadevice, it shows in /etc/vfstab as:
    /dev/md/dsk/d15 /dev/md/rdsk/d15 /opt/inlum ufs 1 yes -
    metastat:
    d15: Concat/Stripe
    Size: 37749760 blocks (18 GB)
    Stripe 0:
    Device Start Block Dbase Reloc
    emcpower0a 0 No No
    Stripe 1:
    Device Start Block Dbase Reloc
    emcpower0e 0 No No
    Device Relocation Information:
    Device Reloc Device ID
    emcpower0a No -
    emcpower0e No -
    c1t1d0 Yes id1,ssd@w20000004cffb86e8
    c1t0d0 Yes id1,ssd@w20000004cffb84fa
    The filesystem is also has disks allocated to it on an emc san, shows in format as:
    2. c2t0d0 <DGC-RAID5-0099 cyl 40958 alt 2 hd 256 sec 10>
    /pci@8,700000/fibre-channel@3/sd@0,0
    3. emcpower0a <DGC-RAID5-0099 cyl 40958 alt 2 hd 256 sec 10>
    /pseudo/emcp@0
    I'm trying to increase the size of this file system, so I choose #2, used slice 5 because 5 corresponds to "e" in emcpower0e, allocated the rest of the remaining space (25Gb) to that slice through format:
    5 unassigned wm 20482 - 40957 25.00GB (20476/0/0) 52418560
    I really have no background in emc, used disksuite once to mirror filesystems with metatool, so I am really going into this blindly. I think what I need to do now is:
    newfs the slice I just created above with:
    newfs /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0s5
    Now this is where I really don't know where to go, I need to add this slice to the metadevice d15, do I do it with metattach, like:
    metattach d15 /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s5 ?
    and are there other commands I need to do in addtion to this like metainit or metaclear?
    Can the system be used while I'm doing this?
    Once the slice is added to the metadevice, I believe I use growfs like:
    growfs /opt/inlum /dev/md/rdsk/d15
    Is this the correct procedure? Please add any commands I need or corrections to my shot in the dark procedure. Thanks a lot.

    If you want just to add space to a disk through MD, should be pretty easy to do through the SMC.
    Open the existing volume that's controlled MD and add the slice to it. You may have to format the disk to allocate the slice.
    Then run
    #growfs /dev/md/dsk/d<number>

  • Disk size is drastically reducing after the Dense restructure

    After Clearing empty blocks the number of blocks are coming down by 10% showing that empty blocks were existing in the database. At this point in time total size of .PAG file remains constant (Before and after clearing empty blocks).
    We did a restructure of database the number of blocks remained constant but the .PAG file has drastically reduced to less than 50%.
    We are trying to understand why would the 10% block reduction is casuing the disk size reduction by 50%.
    Thanks for your inputs!
    Edited by: user3942062 on Mar 14, 2013 3:31 AM

    The .pag file contains free space, not just that left behind by CLEARBLOCK EMPTY but also where blocks have been modified and no longer fit back into their original slot (so Essbase has to expand the .pag file to fit them back somewhere else). For example, if a block is taking up 2K on disk but you then load additional data, the block's footprint on disk may increase to 3K. Essbase can't fit it back into its original 2K location, so it leaves that 2K chunk of the .pag file empty (at least for the time being) and finds 3K elsewhere.
    Only restructuring the database physically releases this space.

  • How to increase the size of /opt solaris 10 x86

    Solaris 10 X86, /opt runs out space, would anyone please tell me how to increase the size of /opt?
    The Solaris is installed on the whole disk, and I believe there are still some free hard disk space available somewhere.
    I need step by step guidance please.
    thanks.

    Hi
    Looks like you have installed your Solaris 10 on traditional UFS disk partitions and not using the ZFS whole disk. If so then you need to resize de underlying partition using the format command and then run the growfs to resize the /opt.
