Virtual Box Actual Size not increasing - virtual-machine

I've Ubuntu 14.0.4 & Windows 7 installed in Virtual Box.
I ran the below command to increase the virtual box allocation size
VBoxManage modifyhd "/home/myname/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7 RC/Windows 7 RC.vdi" --resize 52200
It gave me
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
And the size becomes:-
VBoxManage showhdinfo "/home/myname/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7 RC/Windows 7 RC.vdi"
UUID: 47c148a5-b97f-4cf3-97c1-69b39f9b2208
Parent UUID: base
State: created
Type: normal (base)
Location: /home/myname/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7 RC/Windows 7 RC.vdi
Storage format: VDI
Format variant: dynamic default
Capacity: 52200 MBytes
Size on disk: 25523 MBytes
The problem here is Capacity has been increased to 52 GB but the Actual Size is not increasing.
Format variant: dynamic default not fixed
I'd deeply appreciate any help.

Problem solved!!
I went to Disk Management >> Disk Extend Volume >> Updated the disk size to Unallocated space.
Now it looks like below.

Why is the max memory calculated wrong by the jvm using the maxRamPercentage in an openshift environment? [duplicate]

I have a 64-bit hotspot JDK version 1.7.0 installed on a 64-bit RHEL 6 machine. I use the following JVM options for my tomcat application.
CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Dorg.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES=false -Duser.timezone=EST5EDT"
# General Heap sizing

CATALINA_OPTS="${CATALINA_OPTS} -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -Xloggc:${CATALINA_BASE}/logs/gc-${CURRENT_DATE}.log -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution"
When I have a Garbage Collection analysis, the GC logs show a maximum available heap of only 3.8GB instead of 4GB allocated to the JVM. Why is that?
New Generation (2048M) consists of 80% Eden (1638.4M) and two Survivor Spaces (10% or 204.8M each):
Heap
par new generation total 1887488K, used 134226K [0x00000006fae00000, 0x000000077ae00000, 0x000000077ae00000)
eden space 1677824K, 8% used [0x00000006fae00000, 0x00000007031148e0, 0x0000000761480000)
from space 209664K, 0% used [0x0000000761480000, 0x0000000761480000, 0x000000076e140000)
to space 209664K, 0% used [0x000000076e140000, 0x000000076e140000, 0x000000077ae00000)
concurrent mark-sweep generation total 2097152K, used 242K [0x000000077ae00000, 0x00000007fae00000, 0x00000007fae00000)
At any time one of survivor spaces is empty (see Generations).
So, the useful heap size is 1638.4 + 204.8 + 2048 = 3891.2 MB

How to param min CPU speed on VM on the VMWARE?

vmware: 7.0u2
I have created 10 VM's with 6 CPU per host with 8 GB of RAM, putted in vmx file:
- sched.cpu.latencySensitivity = "medium"
- sched.cpu.units = "mhz"
- sched.cpu.min = "999"
But when I see in "UI/Navigator/Hosts" the barprogress only show "2 Ghz" of usage when the "Memory" barprogress a 50% of usage.
If I go to "UI/Navigator/Virtual Machines" I can see VM's only work with 18 Mhz or 141 Mhz!
[1] Why my VM's don't work with the min: 999 Mhz?
[2] How I can force the VM's work always with "1 Ghz" min????
The "UI/Navigator/Virtual Machines" Show values several values but is not the reference clock speed in to VM.
When I go in to VM (auth) and I check the clock speed in "Task Manager/Performance" in Windows I see the correct value.
In Linux I checked with "lscpu" command and I see the correct value.
Cordially.

How to restore Virtualbox ? lost last two months of work

https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=90893
Hello im desesperate and need help because i have lost about two months of work in my Windows 10 guest system.
Everything worked smoothly till i need to have more free space ( although i have a dynamic hd). So i have follow some tutorials and made some changes:
1 - I have the original almost full disk in: /Maquinas VirtualBox/Clientes Windows/Windows 10/Windows10-disk1.vmdk
2 - I made a copy in an external usb device.
3 - Convert to vdi: VBoxManage clonehd /media/eduardo/Seagate\ Backup\ Plus\ Drive/Windows10-disk1.vmdk /media/eduardo/Seagate\ Backup\ Plus\ Drive/Windows10-disk.vdi --format vdi
4 - Tried to resize the disk ( from 80gb to 100gb): VBoxManage modifyhd /media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk1.vmdk --resize 100000 and VBoxManage modifymedium disk /media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk1.vmdk --resize 100000 ( think this could be an error as i had to chage size to vdi file).
5 - Then i had to change the uuid ( because an error of uuid in use arised):VBoxManage internalcommands sethduuid "/media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk1.vmdk"
6 - Then comeback to: VBoxManage clonehd "/media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk1.vmdk" " " --format vdi
and resize VBoxManage modifymedium disk "/media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk.vdi" --resize 120000
I tried to change my virutal machine with the new vdi file to test if everything was fine ( change my /Maquinas VirtualBox/Clientes Windows/Windows 10/Windows10-disk1.vmdk disk connection to the new/media/eduardo/Seagate Backup Plus Drive/Windows10-disk.vdi) . But i detected somewhat that the system has turned back two months ago !!!!
I was not worried and decided to go back to my "untouch" vmdk, but the most strange thing is that the original "untouch" file: /Maquinas VirtualBox/Clientes Windows/Windows 10/Windows10-disk1.vmdk also boots with things and files and state about two months ago. So im quite nervous.

As watching files the 6c***** has to be the "good status" as was modified yesterday at night. Here is my file manager:

Here is my VM ( made an snapshot about two months ago i dont remember when exactly)
https://imagebin.ca/v/4QlKV3Equ1fW
My log:
https://pastebin.com/JSLFRNMs
Hope anybody can help...
i think that the key is to return somewhat to 6c**** state of my vmdk file, i dont understand how this vmdk got changed as it was not touched
Thanks in advance
The problem was solved. It was nothing to do with resizing disks. I select the { 6cc3c***-*****} hard disk ( although it was "only" 47 gb), for surprise for me it load its "snapshot" part of 47 gb with the whole disk windows10-disk1.vmdk....
Sorry for my bad english, but its difficult to explain, in the settings of the virtual machine in storage section, select as main disk the 6cc***** and start/boot the VM
Once was loaded and working fine, i deleted the snapshot ( to bring all together to the present state) and then made another snapshot for backup.
Thanks

Tableau - bigquery display filter

I have dataset in big-query (Rows : 4,703,154,740 & size : 978 GB). Tableau Desktop running on Windows box with config :
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Service Pack 1
Processor : Intel Xeon ES620 2.40 GHz (2 Processors)
Installed Ram : 128 GB (32 G Usable)
System Type : 64 Bits
How do I create a display filter, because I am getting out of memory error when I try to create report ?

Where is the default max locked memory value coming from?

So on one system, I have values that are pretty wide open:
$ ulimit -a | grep mem
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 40000
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
Another system has much more limiting values, but I can't for the life of me find out where the 32MB upper limit (it is 32MB despite the mislabling) is being set:
# ulimit -a | grep mem
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
The second system is a RHEL 5.5 box. I am looking to increase this limit for at least one user- I need a bigger APC mmap memory allocation, but I can't go above 30 MB without running into the above limit, and I would rather not hack the provided apache init script. Where should I be trying to override the system default value so I can map a bigger segment of memory? Doing it in limits.conf for the apache user doesn't do a whole lot; probably because the init script doesn't do anything through PAM.
If the user granularity setting you tried isn't working, you should make sure that's you've correctly matched which user is hitting the limit.
You should also be able to add a line like this to limits.conf:
* hard memlock 40000
That'll change the default setting for all users.
From the limits.conf manpage:
The syntax of the lines is as follows:
<domain> <type> <item> <value>
The fields listed above should be filled as follows:
<domain>

· the wildcard *, for default entry.
