SCCM Admin

Yes! It is sitting in the root of the datastore. I was not aware of the -d parameter. I found out from Dell that RAID 10 cannot be expanded even using OMSA so the whole thing is moot. I backed up the appropriate VMs and am building the RAID 10 from scratch. I will remember the syntax you showed me. Thank you

Later generation PERCs can expand RAID 10, earlier ones couldn't expand nested RAID.

I don't work that much with VMWare and never had any formal training. A lot of reading and you tube lessons. I work from home permanently and maintain SCCM for a large company and I built my own Dell R720XD server arrangement at home that I test new software and configs on before updating the company's arrangement. No issues there. <br>I recently realized I was running out of physical space at home and bought 2 more 600 GB SAS drives. I would like to add these drives to my RAID 10.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
