5.5u2 ESXi host will not mount CF data warehouses

I am the admin in a test lab, so many times I have to "make do" with what I have for the material.  I recently reassigned a R910 Dell with 64 GB memory in a 5.5u2 ESXi host.  It has some storage SAS (2.5 to) and some (CT 11) directly connected FC storage and some FC HBAs for use by VMs to send data to the tape library.

Recently, we had a power failure, and this host does not reconnect to the CF storage when she returned to the top.  (Duty to "make do" with what I means not having is not the capabilities of UPS).  I can tell the host of HBA see it properly and sees the LUNS on RAID controllers, but refuses to mount.  I go through the add storage Wizard, and he sees that there is a store of data storage VMFS, but always refuses to mount.  I also tried to remove the redirection to the two FC HBA that have been set up for this purpose, but it made no difference.

I have now three users unable to work because they cannot access their virtual machines on storage of this FC.  I can't even transfer them off to use the SAS storage form.

I think it might be the cause file system damage, but I'm not sure.  Someone at - it suggestions?

Have you ever tried to set up data warehouses from the command line (see, for example, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387)?

  • Host does not see some data warehouses

    I add a new host in a cluster of ESX 4.  ISCSI Storage Adapter on all hosts (old and new) detects all available Lun, 10 in total.  However, 2 of the LUNS appear not in the list of data stores in the new host.  Thus, guests see 10 stores of data.  Guests are running live virtual machines that reside on the 2 "missing" data warehouses.  The new host sees only 8 of the 10 stores of data.

  • Virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address

    My virtualized ESXi host is not assigned an IP address on a DHCP network. I created it on my physical host with a physical NIC.

    Both its E1000 vNIC is networked with virtually the same Vswitch as the physical host, I created a second Service Console on this vswitch for the ESXi host virtualized, what I need to change the IP of virtual servers to match the newly created Service Console?

    I found a guide on changing the IP address of the vswif on the virtual host, I'm going in the right direction?

    If you run ESXi on ESX (i) then you must enable the mode promicuous on the VM host vSwitch portgroup.

  • ESXI 6.0 configuration problem: quick stats on {host} is not up-to-date

    I installed two Dell R530 3 days ago.

    Single-host, all right. The second appears in yellow on the Summary tab message: quick stats on {host} is not up-to-date

    Directly connected to the host shows no problem. The State of health is normal.

    Everything seems to work properly with respect to the collection of statistics.  But this yellow box annoys me

    I changed the settings, it works fine now.  In vSphere new its a little different look. You must add the word "config" in the key chain. It should look like this:

  • PS5 will not change the date registration

    PS5 will not change the date when I save a document I'm working. I tried save as and save and it keeps the date of the photo, in this case, a scanned image that swept the 09/07/11 @ 15:49. I saved many iterations of the PhotoShop photo and the date remains the same. I tried it with other photos and even once, it retains the original date. If I open in AI5 and save it, he recorded with the current date. Am I missing something here?

    I use the current build 12.0.4 x 64, Win7 Home Premium

    PAM

    Chances are Windows found the folder a folder "photo", and explore does NOT show you the date of the modified file.

    Personally, I hate having "automatically" selected multiple views for me, and I tweaked my copy of Windows so that it always shows me the "General items" view all records, be they full of photos or music or something else.

    You can check this by clicking on the name of the folder in the Navigation of Explorer (left), and then selecting Properties.  On the Customize tab, see what it says in the "optimize this folder for:"selector. ".  If it is different from the general items, change it to general Articles.  This gets you a good "Date Modified" column, indicating the date of the file.

    If you want to make a permanent change to Windows 7 (so all new folders are displayed in the form of General items in the folders, and automatic display selection is disabled), a value can be added to (or changed in) the registry as follows:

    Registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell]

  • ESXi 5.1 and VMFS-3 data warehouses

    We have an existing environment to ESX 3.5 Update 5 7 host and an EMC CX3-10 x iSCSI SAN. We go to decomission 2 ESX hosts and replace them with hardware ESXi 5.1 and recent guests. We realize that we no longer able to manage these hosts ESXi from our Virtual Center 2.5 console, but these two hosts will run a minimum number of virtual machines (Exchange 2010 multirole) that don't use VMotion, DRS and HA.

    Our understanding is that ESX5.1 can see and use VMFS-3 data warehouses. Is it true that, once we plugged the new 5.1 ESXi hosts to our SAN and you can see all the existing LUN that we should be able to stop the virtual machines on two ESX 3.5 hosts and start the virtual machines on the host ESX 5.1 computers?

    Everyone has problems running ESXi 5.1 with VMFS-3 data warehouses?

    Some data warehouses VMFS-3 existing could be improved to VMFS-5 because they are only used by the virtual machines that work on 5.1 ESXi hosts. But some of the data warehouses VMFS-3 existing is not extensible because they are used by the virtual machines running on ESX 3.5 other hosts. In other words, a single virtual machine can have virtual drives running on the VMFS-3 and VMFS-5 warehouses of data at the same time?

    Thank you

    Jay

    VMFS version isn't a problem. What I am more concerned by the fact that your storage system is not supported by ESXi 5.1.

  • ESXi host does not synchronize with NTP - causes HA config failures?

    Hello

    We are currently implementing some Cisco UCS systems. We using blades Cisco UCS B200 M1 (x 5670, 48 GB of RAM)

    Everything seems to work fine except these little things, which seems to be related.

    1 NTP synchronization is not happenning, or happening very slowly.

    2. a 10 cluster host, when it is configured for HA, has many guests who fail to be configured for HA (for example we had only 2 guests get properly configured for HA out of 10).

    Initially, I thought REP 1 and 2 were not related, but then I remember reading somewhere that the ESXi host must have simultaneously for HA to work.

    On question No. 1:

    10 guests have a difference of 5-6 minutes between them. Curiously, the first hosts that are connected to a HA cluster, if their duration is similar, they wil work.

    But others are more than 1 to 2 minutes off, they will fail. Our NTP is configured on 2 internal NTP servers, which syncs with the outside world - the 2

    NTP servers are:

    The default gateway of each ESXi

    The network Core switch

    We know that the NTP servers work correctly because our advertising is synchronized with them and we checked on our domain controller local time main external time source.

    Debug information

    Output of /etc/ntp.conf

    ~ # cat /etc/ntp.conf
    restrict default kod nomodify notrap nopeer
    restrict the 127.0.0.1
    Server 10.*
    Server 10.*
    driftfile /etc/ntp.drift

    Everything has been configured through the GUI, I show the output of ntp.conf for confirmation.

    We tried to restart the hosts (without success).

    Everyone knows what we can do to solve this?

    Thank you

  • WD My Passport drive external drive will not mount once my Macbook Pro is already on

    Hello

    I actually had this problem for a year or two, but I'm finally getting bugged to this topic enough to see if it can be 'fixed '.

    I have a 2 to WD My Passport portable HD connected to my macbook pro via an external (wall outlet) powered TRUST 5 x USB3 Hub.  If everything is connected, when I start the macbook pro there is no problem and the WD My Passport is mounted in the finder.  But if I remove manually the hard drive and then try to mount it again while the macbook pro is running it doesn't mount not.  It used to, but he won't now.

    In the past the WD My passport would need to unplug and perhaps the USB3 hub would need power cable disconnect from him and the USB hubs out the macbook pro.  So when I joined this new and plugged the hard drive WD in the hub, it would rise very well.  But now it's just point blank refuses to ride until I restart the macbook pro.  Once I restart it it climbs perfectly and stays up forever--until it is dismantled manually - and then I have to restart the macbook pro again so he could mount once more.

    I tried all combinations of pull cables and adapters to power but nothing has worked.  After dismantling the WD hd and plug back on the USB3 light led on the hub hub lights up and the hard drive turns manually, but, as I say, it is not mount and it is not visible in disk utility.

    Any ideas please?  It's a bit annoying to have to keep restarting the mac whenever I had to unplug the hard drive WD.

    "As issued" WD Passport appear to cause a number of reports of trouble around here. You have already taken the first "not best" - using a powered hub. Just make sure that the hub is really power (lights on, for example). It could be that the external drive is in its death throws.

    This happen if the WD is the only thing on the powered hub?

    The Mac USB ports work with other devices?

    Here's what my experience with these things has believing me. WD made great bare discs, but I can't be so kind to their pens. Three questions:

    (1) I think that they should use chipsets which are not very easy to Mac.

    (2) most driving the ship formatted for Windows

    (3) even those shipped as "Mac editions have some odd which makes it difficult to access file formatting.

    If you do not have to share the drive with a Windows computer, you can reformat the drive and that often fixes "fail to mount/recognize" question. Disk utility is your tool of choice here because it is already installed on your Mac. Completely erase the WD drive by selecting the tab 'Clear' in the bar tabs to disk utility. Define the plan of Partition to GUID Partition map and journaled for Mac extended format. Press the button 'clear '. The reader will now will be rid of eccentric WD partitioning and formatting schemes and be a good Mac hard drive.

    If you share the road with a Windows computer, consider getting a better workout. After having fought external drives 'brand' on my computers and others that I maintain, I now use only boxes of other computer world with naked WD drives inside. Since this change, I have zero problems. For my MacBook Pro, I use this forum:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/MEPMU3ES/

    I ordered the external power optionally for use at home and go on the road bus-powered. It's an empty envelope - just a hard drive of nu. They are more expensive than the stuff that Staples puts on sale every weekend, but are much more reliable. I ask the question. "What is my value data?"

  • After downloading firefox Betaicone will not mount on Mac ibook G4

    Downloaded firefox beta and the icon doesn't mount not so it will not install if I should try another version

    Unfortunately, last version of Firefox (version 10) supports only Mac OS X 10.5 or higher Intel processor. The system you are currently using is no longer supported by Firefox.

    For now, Firefox 3.6 is to be maintained and supported by Mozilla. You can upgrade to it as follows:

    1. Open the Applications folder.
    2. Drag the Firefox application to the Trash.
    3. Download and install Firefox 3.6 from here.

    Note that Firefox 3.6 support will cease soon (April 2012). After that, you can use another browser like Firefox on your system (TenFourFox). Remember that TenFourFox is not prepared or approved by Mozilla in some way.

  • Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

    Hi all

    I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

    Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

    Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

  • 5.5 ESXi host is not able to connect to the network

    I installed ESXi5.5 U2. But the ESXi host grab an IP address from the DHCP server. I tried givind static IP of my office network, but still unable to connect to the network. I checked the CLI, the vmnico of the adapter is in place. Why the machine does not have an IP address?

    I started this machine from the network (available in the bios settings) and observed if an IP address is required. Then, I started the server from the hard drive. Surprisingly, it took an IP and I could connect via the network.

    After that, I plugged this NETWORK adapter to a different location on the same server. I found the same problem (do not take IP). But when once again, I did the "Network Boot" thing, it took an IP address and now it works fine.

    What is average?

    Apparently, my problem is solved, but I still don't know the reason.

  • ESXi host have not of virtual machines when connected through vCenter

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem with 1 ESXi hosts. All other hosts are working properly.

    All hosts are managed by vCenter 5.1 VM. When I select this problematic host in vCenter and click on the virtual computers tab, it does not display anything other than a blank page. Then, it throws an error saying that the object has been deleted or has not completely created. The screenshot of the error popup is attached.

    However, if I connect directly to the host through the VI client, it does not throw the error and I can see the virtual machines it. If I have vmotion the vms during this host, I do not see these virtual machines via vcenter but I connect directly to the host and I can see the virtual machines. They work very well.

    What could be the cause of this problem.

    Thank you

    AG

    I would try restart the management agent on the host troubled or removing of vCenter and time.
