VHDResizer: Another Tool for your Virtual Toolbox
With VHRResizer, Resizing Virtual Hard Disk Files Is A Piece Of Cake. The folks at VMToolkit.com have recently added another invaluable tool to their repertoire. With the free VHDResizer, administrators can solve two of the most common issues involving the management of Microsoft Virtual Server or Virtual PC virtual hard disk (VHD) files:

Download Utility to Resize Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) - VHD Utility
Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft Virtual server do not have a functionality to increase a storage capacity of a the virtualization file format, Virtual Hard Disk (VHD). At the same time it is quite easy to underestimated storage requirements of a virtual machine. This problem may be especially annoying for fixed VHDs, used due to improvement in performance they offer, since it is not desirable to allocate too much storage space for them from the beginning. The standard solution for this problem used to be using Ghost inside of the guest OS to create an image, and restoring the image to a bigger, newly created VHD, attached to the same virtual machine. This procedure sure works, but it is painfully slow and laborious manual process.

How To Shrink A Virtual PC Virtual Hard Disk
Microsoft Virtual PC uses virtual machine hard drive images as disks. These VHD files are typically dynamic in size, they grow as necessary. And I had one grow on me yesterday to over 40GB in size!

Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 vs. VMware Server v 1.0.4
Ok Firstly, I so wish Microsoft had released “Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1? as “Virtual Server 2007?. It would have saved so much confusion — and personally I believe free products should never have service packs; just newer versions. But I digress!

Microsoft Virtual Server's VM Memory & CPU Requirements
We have been working with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP 1 for our virtualization needs. The two key physical limitations to the number of virtual machines, in our experience, are the amount of memory installed and the speed and number of cores on the CPUs.

In the previous installment of this article, I outlined some of the specific settings you need to pay attention to when running multiple VMs with Virtual Server 2005 R2. In Part III of this series, we’ll continue looking at various settings that may require your attention.
Tuesday, July 31, 2007 11:32:00 PM

Considerations For Running Multiple Virtual Machines Part II
If you are running a single virtual machine on your host, you do not have to be too concerned about the virtual machine settings. It is when you get into a multiple virtual machine configuration that you need to start thinking about them because some of the settings can affect all the virtual machines running on a host, not just one.

Considerations For Running Multiple Virtual Machines Part I
Virtual Server 2005 R2 gives network administrators an easy way of consolidating multiple servers and operating systems on to a single computer. Instead of using a dedicated server for every application and service you require, you can run them on virtual server instances. This lets you continue to isolate applications and services while making better use of your existing hardware.

Virtual Host Clustering With Virtual Server 2005 R2 Part I
Clustering is a technology that lets you increase the availability of a server, service or application so it does not become a single point of failure. For example, if you have a critical server running on your network, it can be placed in a cluster with another server that is standing by to take over in the event of failure.
