Hi Vicky, Thanks for the reply. But I want to know how FT will work if my primary FT VM is corrupted or not available but the ESXi host which has the primary FT VM is running fine? Does even in that case my secondary FT VM will resume job? Regards, Vijay

Scenario is as below:- ============= 2 esxi host VM with FT enabled I know that vm running on host A if down then secondry vm running on host B resume the job. I know if secondry FT enabled VM is down then I will get error on primary vm that secondry vm does not exist. But I want to know what happen if my primary vm is down which is running on host A, host A is running fine without any issue? Thanks in Advance

Yes you are correct, we cannot use diskpart on 2K3, that can be only use when OS is 2K8 and no third party tool required. We can also increase the C drive by using gpartition tool. This is what I have used many times.
...Good Idea.

What should be monitor if need to monitor the memory performance from the below memory counter? Consumed: Host memory that is allocated to the VM Active: Guest memory that is beeing used by the VM Private: Amount of memory stored in the physical host memory for this VM Shared: Amount of memory shared between multiple VMs with Transparent Page Sharing Swapped: Memory the host has swapped to a file inside the VM directory to free up host memory Compressed: Memory that was compressed by the VMkernel to free up space When checking into performace tab of vcenter of one VM. Active Memory showing->Max 4.3GB Consumed--> Max 15GB Granted--> Max 16GB Usage--> 40% Which counter showing above I need to share with the customer?
Difference between Consumed, Active, Private, shared, swapped and compressed?
Means Vmotion not worked with ISCSI and NFS? It only works with SAN am I correct? Thanks Vijay

Hi.... VPXD-It is Vcenter Server Service. If this service is stopped then we will not able to connect to Vcenter Server via Vsphere client. VPXA-It is the agent of Vcenter server. also known as mini vcenter server which is installed on the each esx server which is managed by Vcenter server. What are the management action we are performing on top of the vcenter server. (Like:- Increasing/Decreasing RAM & HDD, Making any type of changes in cluster, doing vmotion. This agent collects all information from the vcenter server and pass this information to the kernal of the esx server. HOSTD- This is the agent of ESX server, here VPXA pass the information to the HOSTD and hostd pass the information to ESX server. Hope this one give you clear explanation about the difference in between each of them. Vijay Bhardwaj
Many Thanks for the reply... Unfortunately I am working on the production environment and cannot increase the hdd without any prior confirmation.

Hi Team, One of the user asked to expand the drive D size from 100GB to 150 GB for Win OS-2008. I have expanded the virtual disk sucessfully from 100 to 150 GB. Steps to be followed to expand the dsk are given belwo:- ==================== Windows 2008 allows you to extend volumes without taking the VM down or needing any downtime.  The process looks like this: 1) Extend the size of the VMDK file from the VI Client. 2) From inside the VM, launch Disk Management.  Right click and select "Rescan disks" 3) You should see partitioned space and unpartitioned space.  Right click on the partitioned (blue) space, and click Extend Volume.  A short wizard will walk you through the process of extending the volume. ====================== When checking Disk Mgmt showing the correct size that is 150 GB, but when checking into the MyComputer console it is showing 100GB only. When checking through diskpart showing 150GB correct one. Team:- I have rescan the disk, done reboting the virtual machine, done logoff/login also. ========================= Please help to resolve the issue. We are using Vcenter5.0 Regards, Vijay Bhardwaj
