• TDMS of MDF time stamp conversion error / storage date time change

  I fought it for a while, I thought I'd throw it out there...

  Let's say I have a file TDMS which has a channel of labview time stamp and thermocouple 2.

  

  I load in DIADEM, I get this:

  

  Perfect!  But now let's say I want to save the PDM as a MDF file so I can see him in Vector sofa.  I right click and save as MDF, perfect.  I started couch and get this:

  

  The year 2121, yes I take data on a star boat!  It seems to be taking the stamp of date/time storage TDMS as starting point and adding the TC_Timestamp channel.

  If I change the channel of TC_Timestamp to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc... and save as MDF, I get this:

  

  Very close, 2012!   But what I really want is what to show of the time, it was recorded what would be the 10/09/2012.

  The problem is whenever I do like recording, date storage time is updated right now, then the MDF plugin seems to use it as a starting point.

  is it possible to stop this update in TIARA?

  

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  You got it right that the MDF use written the time of storage to start MDF that is updated by DIAdem when writing time. We are working on this and will return to you, if there is no progress.

  To work around the problem, you can try convert TDMS MDF in LabVIEW storage vis.

  Something like the following, you can write your start time of measurement to the MDF file.

  

  Hope this helps,

• Server 2012 - storage server repair file error volume system

  Hey guys,.

  I'm up late panic hoping someone might have an answer.

  We have a file server, 2012 running storage server. One of the volumes reported an error so I have planned some time tonight to perform a repair on it.

  After reading good things about 2012 chkdsk I thought it would be a quick process, however after some further reading, it seems you need to run chkdsk from the command line by specifying the option spotfix for the quickest fix.

  I stupidly he run from Server Manager by clicking with the right button on the volume and selecting the option "repair the file system error.

  It is on a volume of 5.5 to data that is accessed by a large number of users that will start to connect to 6 hours time.

  Managed server showed the repair had obtained 13% after about an hour, but has not changed for some time, so I guess that Server Manager had frozen, so I closed and opened again. I can see the process is still ongoing, but the Server Manager no longer shows a progress bar (just a red bar to show the volume is locked.

  Anyone has an idea how I can get up again the progress bar, or know any way to show the status of the repair running?

  Thank you

• On the installation of a disk in storage, I get the error "the specified package id is invalid..." "0xC0380030

  I have a Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB drive that I add to storage, it breaks down to add with the above error.

  As a regular player, it works fine...

  Thank you

  Nick

  I hit it constantly on two of my stocks when you try to add a disc through the user interface.  It seems to be specific to the pool rather than drive, that I get the same error for any physical drive, I'm trying to reach.

  On a whim, I tried adding a drive via PowerShell and it worked only.  A lot of details here, but here's the bit of criticism that has worked for me:

  PS C:\ > $PDToAdd = disc-Get physical - CanPool $TruePS

  C:\ > add physical disk StoragePoolFriendlyName-'Attachment 2' - PhysicalDisks $PDToAdd

  Note that this attaches to all the available physical disks, which can be grouped, then you'll want to confirm the list before actually calling Add-physical disk.

• Storage VMotion - a general error occurred: could not wait for the data.  Error bad0007.

  People,

  I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.

  Here's the context:

  We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.

  We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2

  VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.

  Here's the problem:

  I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.

  The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.

  I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:

  "Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data."  Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »

  After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes

  • Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.

  • Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.

  I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.

  When I dig in the newspaper, I see these entries in the journal of vmkwarning:

  The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.

  Hello!

  As mentioned above the VI of Strorage Advanced "SetProperty" always results in the error Code - 2500 and I don't know why this is the case.

  I'm under LabView2013.

  I have already received a few messages about this error but they all problems within the LabView8.

  Attached is an example that should produce the error when running with the default values.

  Hello world

  I finally found the source of the problem: you can't name a property 'group '. If someone encounters this weird error sometimes, try another name of the property. In my view, the Error Message that appears is really poor in this case.

• Keithley 6485 error 800, "not consistent with active storage."

  Hello

  I use a Keithley 6485 to acquire a buffer of 40 measures, triggered via triggerlink.

  The VI works well, but of course, what happens if no trigger is to send to the device?

  So, after a timeout, the unit is configured again (reset and configuration commands).

  This is then the error produced responses from the instrument: '800, 'noncompliant with active storage' '.

   

  The source is that there is always an active storage (visible on the screen) and I try to reconfigure the buffer.

  Here: http://torque.oncloud8.com/archives/cat_keithley_6430.html

  I found a way to leave the mode of storage of the façade:

  When debugging of labview for the 6430 programs, you could get stuck with a "noncompliant with active storage" error This occurs when the aircraft is expected store data, but you try to give orders that change, for example, the size of the buffer. I have to admit, when I first stumbled across this, I am frustrated and rebooted the machine. The "Asterix" in the upper right corner indicates use it is in storage mode, where the error. Out of this, you must not turn off the machine. Simply tap LOCAL (to get out of the remote control) and then the STORE and then LEAVE. Phew.

  Can someone help me on how to do that through SCPI commands?

  I've tried Keithley support of the Netherlands, but they don't have an idea.

  THX,

  Ben Engelen

  Support of the keithley guys gave me a work around the problem: use the controls of the SCPI to push buttons.

  so before you send the reset command is send to the following:

  YST:KEY 28;     -store the button
  YST:KEY 32;     -exit button

  My first suggestion would be to load the disc of restoration/Driver Toshiba came with your laptop.  Load the drivers for the SD card reader and card reader TI from the set of recovery disks.

  Also, you can view the links to update the drivers.

• View Storage Tiering

  Hello, im a little new for VDI.  VDI is already in place and im picking up things.  Currently there is only one still deployed and we want to start using storage levels

  What we have

  5.5 vCenter

  Hosts Esxi 5.5 (5 guests)

  VMware View 6

  Storage

  Table of NetApp - there are 3 Flash SSD storage, each 1 TB LUN.  There are two 500 GB LUNS each of 15 k SAS Drives.  And three LUN 1 to each Sata storage.  We also have lots of Sata storage, we can add, if necessary, might be able to add more SAS is necessary.

  Ive been going about things and he uses is not Sata or SAS storage.  Here using only the SSD storage that worries me, because we rely on the addition of several pools and SSD is at a premium.

  We use linked Clones and currently, there are two pools.  Each cluster is a floating pool so no need to keep the data of the user and they refresh overnight.  A swimming pool is only 15 desktop computers and the other is 120 workstations.

  The two pools were a little Proof of Concept pools and its actually affected the production now.

  Moving forward the plan is to add more pools, maybe another VM 400, as of this moment the new VM would float pools so no need to keep the data of the user.

  I want to Storage Tiering as there is no budget to buy more storage SSD.

  I know that I can split the storage so that the replica on the SSD storage and the BONES and the other files are on a slower storage.

  So now, a few questions

  1. my understanding is replica should be on tier-1 (ssd), the operating system and other files can be on the slower storage, but it would take on SAS 15 k disk storage or can it be the slower storage Sata? I hope that Sata

  2 lets say, I find myself with 5 swimming pools.  IM assuming that I can have multiple replicas can on the same logical unit number? or should I be split my LUN by Replica?  This means that I have to cut my LUN differently

  3. There is a limit of about 128 VM per LUN, how it works during the introduction of Storage Tiering?  IM assuming that it is not serious, the replica would be on the SSD LUN and then the rest would go to the SATA or SAS LUN disks, and I could have up to 128 VMS on the Sata/SAS LUN?

  4. the VM per LUN 128 means that I could use the LUN more?  I currently have 5, but do not know if we will use the SAS LUN.  So I need to add a couple more Sata Lun?

  5. If best practices says 128 VM per LUN.  Currently my LUN is all the same Raid Volume.  Is how important it?  What is VMware says to split up the LUN because its assuming the LUNS will be on separate Volumes of Raid or just because of filesystem VMFS itself?

  Im going to be read allot more on VDI but I thought ide goto the forums first to see what think

  Thank you

  You need not split by replica LUNS. I would put all of your replicas on SSD, and yes they can share a LUN through many swimming pools.

  You'll just want to have multiple LUNS that helps to balance the pool (s) on. Create as many LUNS you want to spread things, but really thinking about time zones and IOPS / s. 128 is a guideline, but not a rule lasts. It's all about having enough IOPS / s to serve requests you will get during peak usage.

  I'd go with SAS if you can, but SATA is acceptable - just all this affects the user experience. Consider using SATA for task workers or people that do not generate a lot of use of storage. Trial and error and acceptance by the user would be good to come through here if you do not yet have.

  Hi all

  I would like to know wheter or not the MacBook Pro 13 "is strong enoughfor film making, I want to use movie making applications and all... I aspire to edit videos short and simple I will upload later on social media. I saw the presentation of the MacBook Pro on the Apple site and I noticed that when talking about the film to do things, they only mention the 15 "... and I had a few doubght.

  To say, I want to buy the MacBook Pro 13 "retina, i7, 16 GB, ssd 550 with a 256 GB of storage.

  Thank you for your help.

  It depends on this kind of filmmaking. Model 15-inch more expensive is the only one with an independent graphics card and will be able to manage better than all other models rendering tasks. If your movie is CGI intensive, you can consider the 15-inch model. If your film is essentially practical, 13 inches could possibly do with simplest post-editing and CGI, but may take longer. If you make a great movie, you can also consider a larger storage capacity as videos tend to take place. View a comparison of the two products on the Apple website here.

• ESXi 6.0 U1 U2 upgrade, iSCSI questions

  Hello

  First post, so I'll try and summarize my thoughts and what I did with troubleshooting.  Please let me know if I left anything out or more information is required.

  I use the free ESXi 6.0 on a Board with a CPU Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 and 32 GB of DDR3 ECC UDIMM mATX to Supermicro X10SLL-F.  I use a 4G USB FlashDrive for start-up, 75 GB 2.5 "SATA to local storage (i.e. /scratch) and part of a 120 GB SSD for the cache of the host, as well as local storage.  The main data store for virtual machines are located on a target (current running FreeNAS 9.3.x). iSCSI  This Setup worked great since installing ESXi 6.0 (June 2015), then 6.0 U1 (September 2015) and I recently made the leap to 6.0 U2.  I thought everything should be business as usual for the upgrade...

  However, after upgrading to 6.0 U2 none of the iSCSI volumes are "seen" by ESXi- vmhba38:C0:T0 & vmhba38:C0:T1, although I can confirm that I can ping the iSCSI target and the NIC (vmnic1) vSwitch and VMware iSCSI Software adapter are loaded - I did not bring any changes to ESXi and iSCSI host before the upgrade to 6.0 U2.  It was all work beforehand.

  I went then to dig in the newspapers; VMkernel.log and vobd.log all report that there is not able to contact the storage through a network issue.  I also made a few standard network troubleshooting (see VMware KB 1008083); everything going on, with the exception of jumbo frame test.

  I began to watch the drivers NIC thinking maybe something got screwed up during the upgrade; not the first time I saw problems with the out-of-box drivers supplied by VMware.  I checked VMware HCL for IO devices; the physical NIC used on that host are Intel I217-LM (nic e1000e), Intel I210 (nic - igb) and Intel® 82574 L (nic-e1000e).  Lists HCL from VMware that the driver for the I217-LM & 82574L should be version 2.5.4 - I210 and 6vmw should be 5.0.5.1.1 - 5vmw.  When I went to check, I noticed that he was using a different version of the e1000e driver (I210 driver version was correct).

  3.2.2.1 - 1vmw e1000e is recommended for 5.5 U3 and not 6.0 U2 ESXi ESXi driver!  As these drivers are listed as "Inbox", I don't know if there is an easy way to download the drivers supplied by seller (vib) for him, or even if they exist.  I found an article online to manually update drivers on an ESXi host using esxcli; I tried check and install the new e1000e drivers.

  [root@vmware6:~] esxcli software update net-e1000e-n-d vib https://hostupdate.VMware.com/software/VUM/production/main/VMW-Depot-index.XML

  Result of the installation

  Message: The update completed successfully, but the system must be restarted for the changes to be effective.

  As you can see there is a newer version and installed it.  However after restarting it still did not fix the issue.  I even went so far as to force the CHAP password used to authenticate to reset and update on both sides (iSCSI initiator and target).  At this point, I wonder if I should somehow downgrade and use the driver of 2.5.4 - 6vmw (how?) or if there is another issue at play here.  I'm going down a rabbit hole with my idea that it is a NETWORK card driver problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  I found [a | the?] solution: downgrade for 2.5.4 drivers - Intel e1000e 6.0 U1 6vmw.  For the file name, see VMware KB 2124715 .

  Steps to follow:

  1. Sign in to https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/patch#search
  2. Select ' ESXi (Embedded and Installable) ' and '6.0.0 '.  Click on the Search button.
  3. Look for the update of the release name - of - esxi6.0 - 6.0_update01 (released 10/09/2015). Place a check next to it and then download the button to the right.
     
  4. Save the file somewhere locally. Open archive ZIP once downloaded.
  5. Navigate to the directory "vib20". Extract from the record of the net-e1000e.  In East drivers Intel e1000e ESXi 6.0 U1: VMware_bootbank_net - e1000e_2.5.4 - 6vmw.600.0.0.2494585.vib
     
  6. This transfer to your ESXi Server (be it via SCP or even the file within the vSphere Client browser). Save it somewhere you will remember (c.-a-d./tmp).
  7. Connect via SSH on the ESXi 6.0 host.
  8. Issue the command to install it: software esxcli vib install v - /tmp/VMware_bootbank_net-e1000e_2.5.4-6vmw.600.0.0.2494585.vib
     
  9. Restart the ESXi host.  Once it comes back online your datastore (s) iSCSI / volumes should return.  You can check by issuing h df or the list of devices storage core esxcli at the CLI prompt.  vSphere Client also works
  
  

  It took some time to find the correct file (s), the steps and commands to use.  I hope someone else can benefit from this.  I love that VMware can provide for virtualization, but lately, it seems that their QA department was out to lunch.

  Do not always have a definitive explanation as to why Intel e1000e ESXi 5.5 U3 drivers were used when ESXi 6.0 U1 U2.  Maybe someone with more insight or VMware Support person can.

• RAID monitoring

  I have a z640 and I used the Intel RAID controller integrated to create a mirrored pair. It works well, but I would like to monitor the readers so I don't know if it has failed and must be replaced.  Is it possible I can do this, say via SNMP or monitor the Windows event logs?

  If you install Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST):

  When you run the GUI, click on Preferences, there are e-mail settings to send emails on the system of storage of information/warnings/errors. In addition, you will get the balloon messages that appear down by the systray. You can choose to always display the icon iastor on the windows taskbar.  A green check mark is good, yellow triangle is deteriorating, the Red is down.

  If you prefer the Windows event logs, you can monitor the event logs applications for events of the event IAStorDataMgrSvc source (IAStorDataMgrSvc is a service that is installed by the Intel RST). You need to filter the event data for the failure or degraded refine storage system errors only.

  I hope this helps.
