• get support scsi LUNS for the data store?

  I've been delving into the different classes available to HostSystem.queryHostConnectionInfo () and none of the properties appear to contain the id of naa I see when I look at LUNS on an HBA.  How do you get to LUN support for a data store?

  Figured it out.  For anyone else who wants to know:

  I created two actions, one to return a hash of the id of naa-online data store object and another action to return a hash of the naa-online drive scsi id

  // actions
  //getDatastoresKeyedByLUN
  var o_diskHash = new Properties();
  
  for each (var scsiDisk in u_host.config.storageDevice.scsiLun)
  {
    //System.log("-> LUN: " + scsiDisk.canonicalName);
    for each (var dataStore in u_host.datastore)
    {
    if (dataStore.info.hasOwnProperty("extent"))
    {
    for each (var scsiDiskPartition in dataStore.info.vmfs.extent)
    {
    if (scsiDiskPartition.diskName == scsiDisk.canonicalName)
    {
    o_diskHash.put(scsiDisk.canonicalName, dataStore);

• Get the scsi for a data store information if the data store is known

  Hello

  I'm looking for a way to get the information of scsci for a data store if the name of the data store is known. In perl/powershell, this is not a big problem, but how to do this using the Orchestrator. It seems that some information is not available/accessible in vCO, as information volume.extent (object VcHostFileSystemVolume).

  For an example on how to do who, in powershell, see

  http://vwiki.co.UK/Datastore_to_LUN_Mapping_%28PowerCLI%29

  No idea on how to do the same with the Orchestrator.

  Concerning

  Thomas

  Hello

  Onyx would not help in this case. After thinking a bit, I found the solution. I looks like:

  for each {(var Mon in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.storageDeviceInfo.multipathInfo.lun)

  System.Debug ("number of paths:" + lun.path.length);

  for each {(var path in lun.path)

  If (path.state == 'active') {}

  //

  Download the mountinfo

  //

  System.Debug ("mountinfo length:" + wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo.length);

  for each {(Mount var in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo)

  If (mount.volume.hasOwnProperty ("extent")) {}

  for each {(measure of var in mount.volume.extent)

  var tmp = extent.diskName.split(/\./);

  var regExp = new RegExp(tmp[1],'gi');

  If (lun.id.match (regExp)) {}

  System.Debug ("mount.type:" + mount.volume.type);

  System.Debug ("mount.name:" + mount.volume.name);

  System.Debug ("extent.diskName:" + extent.diskName);

  }

  }

  }

• Stats for each data store

  I am writing a script to determine the way to read and write rates, the average number of read and write average requests read and write latency for each data store.

  I tried to do two different ways, with my numbers to end 0.

  $startdate = (get-Date-time Minute 7 - 0 - 0 second). AddDays(-1)

  $enddate = (get-Date)

  $datastores = get-datastore

  {foreach ($DS in $datastores)

  #1

  = [string] $dswriterate ([Math]: Round ((($DS.datastore.write.average |))) Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2))

  #2

  = [string] $dswriterate ([Math]: Round ((($DS.write.average |))) Measure - Object - average value). Average), 2))

  }

  I understand that Get-Stat does not work with a store of data entity.  It would be great if I could get help with that!

  That is right.

  You can use my Get-Stat2 function to retrieve available data store counters.

• Separate the VMkernel for pulse data store traffic?

  Hello.

  I was just reading Tech EqualLogic report 'Configuring iSCSI connectivity with VMware vSphere 5 and Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage' and saw something again on pages 3-4.

  Dell recommends to create a vmkernel port highly available on the subnet iSCSI serving as vmkernel default port for pulse data store traffic, so that the pulsation of data store traffic will then sit outside the iSCSI Software initiator and consumes any connection of additional iSCSI storage. He goes on to say that the traffic of pulsation of the data store will always use the lowest numbered VMkernel ports on the vSwitch.

  It makes sense, but this is the first I've heard of this. Everybody does that, with EQ or other iSCSI solutions?

  Thank you

  Brian

  
  

  Not sure that what talking about Dell, but the heartbeat "traffic" data store using the links normal iSCSI. Each host will have a file on one of the heartbeat data stores and open it which means there a lock on the file. The overhead is minimal and there is no need to worry at all.

• confusion of data store capacity

  Hello.

  I have three ESXi servers in a cluster.

  The servers have a Clariion LUN system present themselves.

  This is the LUN where comments OS virtual HARD drive.

  The logic unit number is about 300 G, but when I look at the summary in the inventory menu > datastore > it shows space set aside 900 g

  Please see the attached picture. I'm confused why it shows more than allocated space.

  Can someone please advise. Thank you

  With ESXi, you can create thin discs.  If you create a virtual disk 40 GB slim, the initial size is close to 0, but you install / add the files to the virtual disk grows in the data store (for a maximum of 40 GB).  If you are looking for the data store and search in a folder of the virtual machine, you will see that ESXi will report the size actually used plus size provisioned (40 GB in this example).  In addition, when you take a snapshot, the space put into service for the snapshot files is equal to the size of the virtual disk.   So if you create a new virtual machine with a thin disk of 40 GB, then immediately create a snapshot on this subject, space used will be minimal, but the area put into operation will be 80 GB.

  Hi all

  Seem to be stuck on this one. and all that seems to be able to find through topis and scripts for the air path setting. All I have to do is list each data store to its policy of access road and the number of path for the data store on the host computer.

  I'm gussiing it uses the get-vmhoststorage cmdlet?

  Any help much appriciated.

  Try something like this

  Get-VMHost | %{

       $_ | Get-ScsiLun | where {$_.LunType -eq "Disk"} | %{
            $_ | Select @{N="HostName";E={$esxImpl.Name}},

• intermitantly script fails unless I update data store capacity properties, first of all, can anyone show me an example of a string for refreshing a PowerCLI data store

  I have a script that runs a space check before cloning a virtual machine on a data store.  Sometimes, he appears to fail (well it ends by design) and behaves as if there is not enough space.  However, if I manually update the properties of the data store by clicking on the button shown in the previous screenshot it sppears to work regularly.  Can someone please give an example if how I can essentially this key for a specific in PowerCLi data store so that I could incorperate it into my script.

  The following should do the same thing as the button.

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  Smart Array P410 in slot 1 (sn: PACCRID110510NR)

  Array A (SATA, used space: 0 MB)

  logicaldrive 1 (5.5 TB, RAID 5, OK)

  then 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:7 (port 2I:box 0:bay 7, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  ESXi obviously knows the same size:

  But does that 4 TB:

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Thanks for your help.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• Use the error report data store capacity

  Hello world

  When I try to get the report for a capacity of data store, I got an error like home but he had no explanation for the error.

  Does anyone know why I get this error? I've updated vCOps from 5.0.3 to 5.6. Maybe it has to do something with that.

  Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for the replies;

  I mean by object parent exactly your situation - this is the under(inside?) folder.

  If you can, try to move a data store on the file and reports should work for it.

  in any case, it is a known problem that will be fixed in the next version of update.

• Storage VMotion for several data stores

  I'm looking for some advice and assistance with the help of the vSphere PowerCLI to SVMotions.

  I found that I can use virtual vmname Get-machine | Move-VM - datastore (Get-Datastore datastorename) that has worked very well and I was ready to roll. However, it occurred to me that I can only refer to a data store in the cmdlet and some of our virtual machines have their drives located on different data warehouses.

  So I set up a test VM with two disks of different data warehouses and began a SVMotion. The result was that it has migrated all disks in their separate data warehouses in a single folder on the target.

  What I need to be able to do is to migrate a disk and leave the other in its original location, or migrate two disks of different locations in two different places again. As you can do if you switch the machine virtual and migrate through the graphical interface, moving storage with advanced options (and probably what you can do via the graphical interface with the virtual machine in vSphere).

  I've got ESX 3.5 Update 5 with vCenter 2.5 update 6 If no GUI in VirtualCenter and the free snap option not taken in charge is not an option.

  Is there a way to do it with the PowerCLI or am I limited to migration the data store's unique virtual machine?

  Thank you very much.

  This can be achieved using the. RelocateVM_Task() method of the VirtualMachine SDK object

  See the code below:

  $configDatastoreName = "DataStore_01"
  $HardDisk1DatastoreName = "DataStore_02"
  $HardDisk2DatastoreName = "Datastore_03"
  
  $vm = Get-VM VM001
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
  #Get MoRef for Destination datastore for Config files
  $spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore $configDatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  
  #for each disk specify where the vmdk files should be placed.
  #If a vmdk should NOT be moved, enter its CURRENT datastore
  #If you forget to specify a disks location, it will be moved to the datastore
  #specified in $spec.Datastore
  
  #HardDisk 1
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[0].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk1DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #HardDisk 2
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[1].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk2DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #When all harddisks are specified call the RelocateVM_task()
  $vm.ExtensionData.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "defaultPriority")
