• Impossible to add storage as data store

  Hello

  I started with 4 esxi servers 5 to test the object with the method of assessment and added the common datastore on all 4 servers for virtual machines that worked very well. but the tests I formatted 2 esxi servers and installed ESXi 4 top, now when I am adding common storage in these 2 ESXi 4 Server I get the error attached, I have found the solution so that it can delete the partition with fdisk command to this logical unit number, but this LUN is common for all 4 servers and virtual machines running on it for 2 ESXi 5 host , so please, someone has the solution to this problem

  Another problem is that showing time in hostd.log file is different because I have configured in Setup esxi why its different time showing.

  Thank you Sam

• Add the new data store

  Hello

  I'm sorry if someone already asked this question before.

  I'm just starting with VMWARE.

  my main at work gave me an old DELL Poweredge 2950 and asked me to install esxi 5 and set up a network and separate area to work with.

  This server got a limitation of 400 GB of HARD drive. I want to use the external USB HDD as additional storage. I got the rank of server 2 TB external HARD drive to use.

  in the start-up phase, is to recognize the HARD drive, but when I want to add as a data store, it does not show anything.

  is there a way I can use the HARD disc as data store extra or not. If I can, can someone please help me with this.

  Thank you

  Krishna

  Unless this HARD drive can be connected to a supported interface card you won't have much luck. You don't mention the interface - if "Server Grade" arrives as meaning 'external SAS port to support RAID card' then it should 'work '.

  From what you describe, I'm imagining a USB - this is not taken care of for a data store.

• Cannot add the new data store

  VM dear supporters,

  My vSphere environment: 1 vCenter Server Foundation, 3 vSphere 4.0 Enterprise 5.0 and vSphere Client 5.0

  1. read the error message in the attachment:

  "hostdatastoresystem.queryvmfsdatastorecreateoptions...". »

  2. already the ESX02 reboot but still unable to add the new data store.

  New size of the data store = 3.1 TB

  Need to vmsupport on this subject.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Size Max LUN VMFS is 2 TB-512 MB in vSphere 4 (your hosts are in version 4), if you want to add 3.1 TB LUN first upgrade ESX hosts to version 5

• Cannot add a new data store

  Let me preface this post by saying that I am an extreme noob to VMWare... Have only used MS HyperV in the past but looking to oust most of my hardware with VMWare on the recommendation of a colleague.

  On the problem.

  I have a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with 32 GB of RAM and 8 TB of disk space.

  I installed ESXi yesterday and you can see my original data store, called "datastore1", which is only 325 GB.

  I try to add a new data store, but when I go to 'Add storage' in vSphere, select ' disk/LUN", the list is empty.

  I know I'm missing something, but don't know where to look.  What should I do to add a new datasore and subsequently more storage to my VMWare environment?

  DRM for all help!

  To add a data store storage must be allocated to the vSphere server.  There is also a size limit of 2 TB less 512 bytes per LUN for a vSphere.   Try a few small LUN and see if they appear as available when you add a data store.   I have included a link pdf maximum configuration for vSphere 4.1

• What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

  Hi all

  This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

  I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

  Thank you all

  Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  Concerning

  Marius Aulie

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

• Add several NFS data stores to multiple ESX hosts

  I am trying to write a script that will set up several NFS exports to multiple ESX hosts. Here is the script I use, it will add an NFS export to an esx host list.

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  {}
  $Host_Name = (Read-Host "enter the server (ex: storage-san)")
  $Path = (Read-Host "enter the path (ex: / ds_name/flight/flight)")
  $Name = (Read-Host "Enter the name of the data store")

  {foreach ($server in $esx)
  $Error.Clear)
  Get-VMHost $server | New-Nfs Datastore - NfsHost $Host_Name-path $Path - name $Name | Out-Null
  If ($error.count - gt 0) {$error | out-file ($server, 'c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + '.txt')}
  }

  $add_more = Read-Host "want to show you another data store?
  }
  While ($add_more - eq 'Yes' - or $add_more - eq "y")

  This script actually works OK but I can't just she kick sending and walk. If I have 10 stores of data to add, I have to wait for the current to the end, and then type the information for the second, etc..

  I was hoping just to type all the information from the beginning and the shot of the script to the wide and let him go. Here is what I added, you can see where I'm going with this?

  $esx = (get-Content servers.txt)

  $num_mounts = (Read-Host "Do you have multiple media")
  If ($num_mounts - eq 'Yes' - or $num_mounts - eq "y")
  {
  $mounts = @(Read-Host "supports différents combien avez_vous")

  #prompt me for all the different right monte upwards before and then executed by the actual task of Mount...
  }

  Any ideas?

  Try something like this

  $servers = @()
  $paths = @()
  $datastores = @()
  
  $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?" while($mount -eq "y"){
      $servers += Read-Host "Enter the NFS host"    $paths += Read-Host "Enter the path"    $datastores += Read-Host "Datastore name ?"    $answer = Read-Host "Enter another NFS mount ?"}
  
  $Error.Clear()
  
  Get-Content servers.txt | %{
      $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $_    $countNFS = $servers.Count
      if($countNFS -ne 0){
          0..($countNFS - 1) | %{
              New-Datastore -Nfs -NfsHost $servers[$_] -Path $paths[$_] -Name $datastores[$_] | Out-Null            if($Error.count -gt 0){
                  $Error | out-file ('c:\powershell scripts\logs\' + $server + '.txt')
                  $Error.Clear()
              }
          }
      }
  }
  

  The script reads all the data in the tables.

  Then it loops through all ESX hosts from the servers.txt file, and for each host, it will create all the NFS data storages.

• Completed by TimesTen Server data store connection

  Hello

  I have a problem with an application to connect to a database, TimesTen, but the connection is being terminated by the server and I can't work the reason (error seems internal)

  In summary, the application reads the blocks of data of a schema performs a treatment and then writes the output to a separate schema. When the read operation is simple (a table only reading), it runs without error. When the read operation becomes more complex (reading subdashboards using an IN clause, the JDBC connection reported that the connection is broken that the server came out unexpectedly. )

  The tterrors.log file contains the following error information:

  Any ideas what's going on (short-term memory maybe)?

  How this increase as a SR or searching through the existing SR and TimesTen bug reports?

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hi Ben,

  Yes, the TimesTen server is blocked because of an internal assertion failure. My suggestion would be to first try upgrading to the latest version of 11.2.2.6.x because it has many corrections of bugs compared to 11.2.2.4.1 which is pretty old now. If this does not resolve the problem, then you need to open an SR via My Oracle Support. You will need your CSI to do so and it should cover TiemsTen (i.e. you must have TimesTen covered as part of your Oracle support contract).

• Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

  Hi people,

  We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

  We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

  Following problem.

  When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

  After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

  Any ideas?

  Concerning

  Jean

  How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

  If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

  A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

  I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

• Server data store will automatically get updated when the new file (with the same name) is placed in the landing area

  
  Hi guys,.

  The data store server-side will get automatically updated when a new file with the same name is loaded in the landing area?

  for example

  1 data store created for server-side get the file named UK.xls (he has 5 rows)

  2 snapshot created for the above data store

  3. created with the snapshot process

  After that if I remove 2 lines from the same file and load again to the landing (with the same name). So by re-running the process will take the last file OR do I need to reload the file in the data store every time when there is a change in the file. We also tried with option to work but the last file was not picking up.

  Any help will be really appreciated.

  Please lets us know your updates.

  Please advice

  Thank you

  VT

  Hello

  When you create a snapshot, you create a snapshot whose task (provided that you use a data store server-side) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot in a job task. If you create a task at the time the snapshot and the processes that use it, they will automatically connect and will be 'upstream' data through the snapshot in the process. You can then choose whether it would be appropriate to write the snapshot or not (for the effectiveness of performance if you want to do the straight through processing) by activating or deactivating the bucket of data staged that the snapshot written to. The snapshot in the work task means that the data is refreshed.

  For the work of design to the Director, you can refresh the snapshot by running again it manually in the context menu.

  Kind regards

• Unable to browse the server data store

  Hello

  I lost the files in my data store. I have two data warehouses and two of them had vm folders in there but tonight my vms unresponsive and when I try to restart they throw an error that a file is not present. When I tried to browse the data store, the two data stores back empty.

  Thank you

  Hey m,

  can you go on the albums esx server into your virtualcenter

  Try remapping to one of the existing NFS shares. You should get a message that the share already exists, but when you return to the summary page, you should be able to doubleclick on the NFS share and view folders (it's like trying to connect is enough to restore the existing connection)

  Let me know how you go

• Support of file server data store Provisioning

  I build a Win2012R2 file server.

  Datastore1 = 800 GB

  Datastore2 = 12 to

  Datastore1 is taken. Datastore2 will have about 2 TB of space used for storage of copies of virtual machines. The rest is for file server.

  What provision is recommended to use for a growing file server? Thick or thin?

  Is it OK to grant MORE than Datastore2 space?

  If other data on Datastore2 (other than the file server) begin to develop how the file server will make up the difference?

  Thanks in advance.

  Unless any 3rd third-party tool can do it, you must re - initialize the disk system. In addition to this, you will need to edit the virtual machine boot options and change the firmware of the BIOS to EFI boot. Another option is to shrink the partition from the current system of the customer for example 100 GB and then create a second partition with a GPT partition table.

  Please keep in mind that backup and - most importantly - recover from these large partitions consume considerable time, and it may be useful to plan several smaller if possible partitions.

• Impossible to mount any NFS data store: unable to resolve host name '&lt; obsolete Server &gt; '.

  Hello

  On a particular ESXi server, whenever I try to mount any NFS data store, I get this error message:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '172.22.216.64' failed.
  Operation failed, the diagnostic report: unable to resolve host name 'cosmo '.

  Always mention hostname 'cosmo', no matter what server I'm actually trying to mount. 172.22.216.64 is the exact address of the ESXi server.

  'cosmo' was the former name of a desktop linux machine, several months ago has re-installed and renamed in the process. So 'cosmo' is no more and it's just expected that 'cosmo' cannot be resolved. However, the error message mentioning 'cosmo' occurs regardless of what server I try to mount a NFS datastore of. I can't find any references to 'cosmo' in the ESXi server configuration in the vSphere client (although I don't know exactly where to look). I remember that at one point, a NFS datastore was mounted temporarily to 'cosmo' to host the ISO debug files. But no more.

  I tried this same sharing of an another ESXi (running the same version of ESXi) mounted in the same subnet (works great), and I also tried to mount a new NFS share on a server where the ESXi already had another NFS data store mounted from the same server (the data store already mounted works fine (, but attempts to connect to a new data store on the same failed server mentioning the independent 'cosmo' server as mentioned above). I tried to restart the ESXi server, but the problem persists after restarting.

  I'm under vSphere client 5.0.0 Build 455964 and ESXi 5.0.0 - 469512-standard with the free license. Because of the free license (I think), I don't have SSH access on the server. (Is that right?)

  How to work around the error message mentioning the obsolete server 'cosmo '? The only thing I can think of right now is to move all data from the local data store to a store of data already mounted, reinstall the ESXi server and give all the data. I'm hoping for a simpler solution! :-)

  Can you confirm if this solution works for you?

• How to use NFS to create a data store on a server ESX 4.0?

  I have 2 questions.

  (1) ESX server 4.0 cannot be installed in 64 bit cpu?

  (2) when I create a new storage, the use of the NFS (Network File System)? Because the error message: "" error during the configuration of the host: Please make sure that you have configured the network for VMkernerl ""

  I don't really know what it is. Is there any useful for this document? Thank you!!

  There are a lot of video about it:

  http://www.howtodothings.com/video/121144555/how to AddVMkernelPorttoanESX3.5 + host

  Use an IP address on the same network of your NFS server.

  Then go to storage and add new NFS data store.

  Don't forget that you will need to a NFS with NFSv3 access TCP server and the root.
