Hi guys, I'm new here and really hope I can get some help :)I was using my laptop normally (Samsung np-sa31, Bremen - M motherboard), I turned it off, by pressing the power button and then closing the lid if I remember correctly since I was in a hurry. Laptop screen went black - can't find the cause/ solution! Hardware.
Vsphere datastore usage on disk alarm free#
Our general rule is to always leave at least 10% free on each datastore to help prevent from filling up our datastores unexpectedly. This has happened before, and it's not always easy to fix. This is because we would fall 110GB short of the space that we have promised our VMs. If each of them for some reason decided to use up all of their available storage - we would have a problem. Their operating systems think that all of that space is actually available when it really isn't. This means that we have VMs that have in total thin-provisioned disks large enough to go over our total capacity, but they aren't being used. But you'll also notice that we have 210GB free. This means that we have given VMs thin provisioned disks - 110GB more than what we actually have available. You'll notice that it is a 1TB datastore that has 1.11TB provisioned. Attached is an example of an over-provisioned datastore that we have. Here's an article about thick/thin disks that might be worth reading: http:/ Opens a new window / / vsphere/ 2012/ 03/ thin-provisioning-whats-the-scoop.htmlĪlso, I failed to mention - the first thing you should be checking is the actual free space of your datstores. It's a little bit more of a conservative approach, and might not be necessary. Doing this can prevent you from having issues down the road when a thin disk unexpectedly and quickly fills up an over-provisioned datastore. I personally like to thick provision disks for things like logs and databases that can easily fill up if something goes wrong within the operating system of the VM. Most people recommend thin provisioning as a default.
The basic difference between Eager and Lazy zero provisioning is a slight performance increase (mostly negligible) for eager provisioned datastores because 0s are written up-front across the disk. Thin essentially tricks the VM into thinking that it has all of the available space, but it only actually takes up what it needs on the datastore. Thick disks take up the entire allotment right away - it's reserved space for the VM. The difference between thick and thin is fairly straightforward. Here's some info on adjusting this alarm: http:/ Opens a new window / / vsphere-50/ index.jsp#.doc_50/ GUID-067B62CC-5EB7-42C0-BA30-A3FF0F4916AB.html I would recommend leaving it enabled but maybe change the alarm to 85 or 90% rather than the defaults. Or, you can uncheck the "Enable this alarm" checkbox under the General tab.
Then from there you can edit and save the thresholds. Right click on it and click Edit Settings. Click on Definitions and then find the alarm definition. Within the vSphere Client click on your top-level vCenter name in the left pane, and then click on the Alarms tab. You can essentially do one of two things: either increase the threshold percentage for this warning (or turn the alarm off completely), or you can lighten the load on your datastores. Datastore Usage on Disk is an alarm that is triggered when you have X% of your datstore's storage capacity used.
