I worked with this German company to enhance their Discovery and CMDB with various storage metadata and data from unsupported storage systems. I wrote extensive TPL code which integrated with APIs for NetApp, Dell Isilon, IBM Spetrum, and Nasuni.

For Nasuni I had to develop the whole model using data extracted from the APIs to model the Management Console, Volumes and Shares.

The outcome of this project was to allow the client to accurately track storage usage and billing.

During this time I also assisted the client in troubleshooting Azure discovery and retrieving additional matadata from VMware.

I don’t have the full workstation license for my laptop so I couldn’t edit the image and modify the ram but I did find a quick and dirty hack by going into the vmx file, which is a simple text file, and altering the settings there.

All I needed to do was power down my virtual maching and then open up the .vmx in gedit or similar text editor and then locate the following line:

memsize = "2064"

I changed the value to “512”, problem solved.

You can do this for a number of different settings which I haven’t tested, but be careful. Make a backup copy of your virtual machine, it is possible to screw something up this way.
