DATASTORE USAGE ON DISK ALARM CLEARING .SNAPSHOT UPDATE
Some sleepy file server or small application server that doesn't write a lot you may get away with running 15% or 10% free but some windows update will just blow that free space away sometime and then you're in problem mitigation mode. All it takes is one admin to start a snapshot and leave it over the week to eat up free storage or a backup failure leaving a snapshot open for too long before you notice and react to fix it. Anytime I hit any higher I trip over problems especially anything with a database, exchange, sql, erp, and some busy file servers.

If I start bumping those, I know trouble is brewing.ĭatastores should run less than 80% full if there is a lot of churn, so more than 20% free. VMware alerts on datastores Warn at 75% full and Alert at 80% full. What causes me the least headaches/tickets/downtime is keeping over 20% free on any RAID/datastore/NAS/SAN. Not only is the weekend right around the corner, but this time next week is SysAdmin Day! But before we clock out, let's jump into today's edition of the Snap! (and get our work done, too).I'm not quoting best practice here, just my findings with how our storage/backup and various other things interact. Snap! Chrome 103, CloudMensis, Pen Testing tools, Phantom Galaxy, D&D, and more! Spiceworks Originals.This is super frustrating because my laptop only comes with 1 USB port. Even after a system restore and discontinuing use of all USB hubs, my USB ports are still not working right. I've reimaged my computer twice because all of my USB ports are screwed up. Why are USB hubs bricking all of my USB ports? Hardware.

I want to connect PC 1 to PC 2 directly with LAN cable for sharing data. PC 1 is connected with internet through Wi-Fi.

This is a host with 4.3TB RAID 10, the VM in question is Server 2012R2. (If anyone has an easy way to convert these volumes to thin, I am interested! I created them thick before I knew better.) I decided to increase the capacity of the two non-OS volumes on one of my guests, both were around 1.5TB (thick) and I tried to get them up above 2000. I am putting finishing touches on a new ESX6 host.
