I have a standalone ESX 5.1 server with a VM with multiple 2TB (screenshot from WinScp attached below) vmdk volumes.
VM is Windows 2008 R2.
My Nutanix cluster is running 5.01, NCC 3.0.0.2, AHV 20160925.30 - Starter Edition
I 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.
Here are my questions:
- I'm wondering if there are any limitations on the Image Server when using the Chrome Browser
- Any potential issues with these vmdk sizes?
- 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
- Since I need to upload multiple vmdk files that quite large, can/should I open multiple browsers to get simultaneous uploads happening ?
TIA,
Genito
