Hi,

I have a standalone ESX 5.1 server with a VM with multiple 2TB (screenshot from WinScp attached below) vmdk volumes.

VM是Windows 2008 R2。



我的Nutanix群集运行5.01，NCC 3.0.0.2，AHV 20160925.30-首发版



我计划将Windows 2012 R2服务器与WINSCP一起使用，以将VMDK文件获取到Nutanix群集容器（我有多个容器）上，然后使用Image Service（通过Chrome浏览器）将UNC上载/转换到容器上。







这是我的问题：


  1. I'm wondering if there are any limitations on the Image Server when using the Chrome Browser
  2. 这些VMDK尺寸有潜在的问题吗？
  3. URL访问存储容器的语法是什么，以便我可以不使用UNC上传VMDK？- 发现这个。在图像服务中使用nfs：// clusterip/contain name/name ofvmdk-flat.vmdk
  4. Since I need to upload multiple vmdk files that quite large, can/should I open multiple browsers to get simultaneous uploads happening ?


TIA,



Genito

    \nI have a standalone ESX 5.1 server with a VM with multiple 2TB (screenshot from WinScp attached below) vmdk volumes.

    \nVM is Windows 2008 R2.

    \n

    \nMy Nutanix cluster is running 5.01, NCC 3.0.0.2, AHV 20160925.30 - Starter Edition

    \n

    \nI am planning to use a Windows 2012 R2 server with WinSCP to get the vmdk files onto the Nutanix cluster container (I have multiple containers) and then use the Image service (via Chrome browser) to upload\/convert via UNC to the container.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \nHere are my questions:

    \n

      \n
    1. I'm wondering if there are any limitations on the Image Server when using the Chrome Browser
      \n
    2. Any potential issues with these vmdk sizes?
      \n
    3. What is the syntax for the URL to access the Storage Container so I can upload the vmdk without using the UNC? -Figure this one out. In Image Service use nfs:\/\/clusterip\/Containername\/name ofvmdk-flat.vmdk
      \n
    4. Since I need to upload multiple vmdk files that quite large, can\/should I open multiple browsers to get simultaneous uploads happening ?<\/ol>

      \nTIA,

    If you just SCP them on to the cluster, you shouldn't have to run them through the image service, as the -flat.vmdk format is actually the same between the two systems, so you can just "clone from ADSF image" when creating the disk, and use the -flat as your source.



    这将节省您的转换时间，并在此处绕过所有问题。

    Jon,



    Thanks so much!!!

    I just did another server with a 1.8TB vmdk and it took a day+ to upload and then image create!!!!



    Serves me right!!!!, I should have asked before and could have saved myself a weekend....



    Lesson learned....

    我鼓励您在一个小的VM（也许是测试/模板）上进行测试，只是为了减少流程。您会看到它非常简单，但值得一试，以确保您知道100％。

    Jon,



    Thank I will test it with smaller vmdk.



    Does this work with HyperV vhdx as well ?

    不，其他一切都需要进行图像服务

    HiJon!



    I'm currently trying to import / move a vmdk from vmware esxi6 to our nutanix datastore;

    - I can nfs-mount the nutanix datastore within vsphere client flawlessly...

    - I can copy the folder containing vmdk vmx files etc from vmware

    BUT

    - 如果我尝试通过“克隆ADSF图像”在Prism中正确复制VMDK，则必须输入磁盘尺寸（？）（？）

    - If I enter the same disk size, it doesnt boot correctly; the used size of the virtualdisk (256GB) is just some byte

    - Which input formats does the image service accept, i mean

    ... I don't have any vmdk-flat file just the regular 256GB vmdk from the esxi host, does it need the whole foldercontent of the vm from esxi any ideas how to import the vmdk?

    i think you have to concatenate the split vmdk images first

    例如。

    https://vmexpo.wordpress.com/2014/04/15/how-to-merge-multiple-vmdks-into-single-vmdk/



    我个人不会在Windowsmachine上这样做，因为多个2TB文件将首先需要某种Refs设置（我猜）。



    您基本上打开了VSPhere客户端，通过NFS安装Nutanix数据存储，通过VM复制，SSH中的NTNX并首先与CP串联，但我只是一个论坛服务器，不确定是否Joncan acknowledge any of my recommendations ...
