• 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

  See you soon

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Disk groups are not visible cluster. vSAN datastore exists. 2 guests (on 8) cluster do not see the vSAN data store. Their storage is not recognized.

  http://i.imgur.com/pqAXtFl.PNG

  http://i.imgur.com/BnztaDD.PNG

  Do not know how even tear it down and rebuild it if the disk groups are not visible. The discs are in good health on each host storage adapters.

  Currently the latest version of vCenter 5.5. Hosts running 5.5 build 2068190

  Just built. Happy to demolish and rebuild. Just do not know why it is not visible on the two hosts and the disk groups are only recognized 3 guests when more are contributing. Also strange that I can't get the disk groups to fill in vCenter. I tried two different browsers (chrome and IE).

  I have now works.

  All the identical 5.5 relies on ESXi hosts. All hosts are homogeneous CPU/sum of the prospects for disk controller / installed RAM/storage.

  I have work. I had to manually destroy all traces of the vSAN on each single to help host node:

  (1) put the hosts in maintenance mode and remove the cluster. I was unable to disable vSAN in the cluster, I made on each node host (manually via the CLI below) then disconnected web client vCenter and return to finally refresh the ability to disable on the cluster.

  esxcli vsan cluster get - to check the status of each host.

  esxcli vsan cluster drop - the vSAN cluster host.

  storage of vsan esxcli list - view records in the individual host group

  esxcli vsan storage remove-d naa.id_of_magnetic_disks_here - to remove each of the disks in the disk group (you can ignore this using the following command to remove the SSD only falling each disc in this host group).

  esxcli vsan storage remove s naa.id_of_solid_state_disks_here - this is the SSD and all the magnetic disks in a given disk group.

  After that, I was able to manually add hosts to the cluster, leave maintenance mode and configure the disk groups. Aggregated data of the vSAN data store is correct now, and everything is functional.

  Another question for those of you who still read... How to configure such as the VM storage strategy that migrates towards (or inspired) the vSAN data store will immediately resume the default storage policy, I built for VSANs?

  Thanks for anyone who has followed.

• remove the Cluster data store data store

  I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Question about the creation of cluster data store

  I'm running vSphere 5.1 and want to enable storage Drs before as I have create the cluster data store, I was reading through VMware vSphere 5.1, but don't see any confirmation when I add data to the cluster storage, the virtual machines using these storage of data is not affected.

  Can anyone confirm that the addition of a data to a data cluster store store has no impact on virtual machines running?

  Thank you.

  You can add and remove data warehouses in a cluster of data with VMS running store.

• How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store?

  How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store? I mean the command line option.

  Hello

  by command line, you mean PowerCLI?

  If so, you can display data with this warehouses:

  Get-DatastoreCluster-name DSClustername | Get-Datastore

• Processor 'Add the current Date' added to old date

  Hello

  The processor to add the current Date added sometimes old date in time real scenario. Once the web service is bounced, it works fine.

  Can shed you some light on why this is happening?

  Kind regards

  Ravi

  I just confirmed the suspicion that precedes in a web service test.

  So the answer is to change the option on the processor to add the current Date and timestamp will be correct for each request.

• Bay of Cluster data store turns into a string?

  I am very new to the vCO (or maybe I should call vRO now) and therefor also very new to script and digging through the API, so I apologize if this is a bit of a noob question.

  I'm currently running below script to find the data store cluster to a cluster host with more available space.

  However, I also want to check for the text in the name of the data store. For this I use indexOf.

  If indexOf detects all matches, it should add the DSC (or pod) in a table.

  But it seems that this operation turns my array into a string.

  Because it is a new environment I have only a DSC connected to the cluster hosts, but I still think that it should be able to be an array with a single value?

  Find the Cluster and related variables

  var hostarray = System.getModule ("com.vmware.library.vc.cluster") .getAllHostSystemsOfCluster (inCluster);

  Host = hostarray [0];

  pool = inCluster. ResourcePool;

  level of var = 'High';

  Find warehouses of data in Cluster

  var = host.datastore data warehouses;

  Find Clusters of Cluster data store

  var storagePods = new Array();

  var storagePodNames = new Array();

  for (d in data warehouses) {

  if (data [d].parent.vimType warehouses is "StoragePod") {

  if (storagePodNames.indexOf (datastores [d].parent.name) < = - 1). {

  storagePodNames.push (datastores [d].parent.name);

  storagePods.push (datastores [d] .parent);

  }

  }

  }

  System.log (' storagePods: ' + storagePods [0].) Summary.freeSpace);

  Find Clusters corresponding to the layer data store

  var podTierArray = new Array();

  for each {(var pod in storagePods)

       if (pod.name.indexOf (tier) > = 0) {

  podTierArray += pod;

  }

  }

  podTierArray becomes a string instead of table after above operation :(((

  System.log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray [0]);

  System .log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray);

  Here is the result of the above script:

  [12:24:27.307 2015-02-27] [I] storagePods: 4497773428736

  [12:24:27.308 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: D

  [12:24:27.310 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: DynamicWrapper (Instance): [VcDatastore]-[class com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.VimDatastore] - VALUE: < datastore-386 > Datastore 'high Datastore01 '.

  
  

  I'm guessing that "D" is the first character in the string (which should be an array), which is also attested by the third row of the output when I print the entire string.

  Because this time is a string I can't use it as an object, for example "podTierArray. Summary.freeSpace' give me an error that it is a property not set.
  

  In addition, as you can see earlier when I use the variable ""storagePods "this is a picture I have run the podTierArray. "

  
  

  Why would he suddenly become a string instead of an array of objects?
  

  Hi Oskar,

  It happens because of this line in your code

  podTierArray += pod;
  

  This is not the right way to add the element in a table. You need to take it

  podTierArray.push(pod);
  

• Cluster data store

  Currently we have a number of data warehouses VMStore_Live1 at 8, recently we had a data store to fill and this due to a problem with some of the virtual machines running in our direct environment.

  I had a thought on the use of cluster data store so storage DRS would be used between data warehouses, we are currently using NetApp, would be one of your recommend using cluster data store? or is there some catch with this?

  We have a host with DRS and HA cluster, but at the moment we have just warehouses of separate data which manually migrate us vm.

  Yes,

  We have two modes:

  1 manual load balancing

  2. automatic load balancing

  We do not have partially automated our way to BLAH DRS cluster.

  Note that: automated initial investment is excluded in both modes: DTS generates a recommendation of initial investment which still requires a manual confirmation.

• Creating a new Cluster data store

  Hello

  Can we move a data store in a Cluster of data while its machines store still virtual hosting?  I was not able to find information on this. What I find the Clusters data store talking about new environments.  I'm working on an existing vSphere 5.5 but the storage of data are not grouped.  I want to place data warehouses in a Cluster of quick data without vMotioning store VMS off.

  Thank you

  Boston Tech Guy

  You can move the datastore in the store Cluster data without any downtime, and while VMS are running on it. (This is as same as you put cluster host, while VMS are running).

• Move-VM error: VM must be managed by the same VI servers as the destination data store

  I work with 2 ESXi servers and a single vCenter server with vSphere 6.0 Update 1 b; and PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2

  I have an a datacenter, cluster, vCenter and a vDS.  I need to pass the vCenter data store to another and get the error message:

  "Move-VM VM you are moving should be handled by the same server of VI as the destination container and the data store.

  Code looks like the following:

  $vctObj = to connect-viserver $vctIPaddress

  $esx1Obj = to connect-viserver $esx1IPaddress

  $esx2Obj = to connect-viserver $esx2IPaddress

  $vmObj = get-vm-name $vmname - Server $vctObj

  $destDSobj = get-datastore-name $destDSname

  Move-vm - vm $vmObj Datastore - $destDSobj - 'End' DiskStorageFormat

  I can migrate successfully from the virtual machine to vCenter data store through the VI Client, but PowerCLI left me speechless.

• DTS moves to the same data store

  Greetings,

  We are short v5.5u1 esxi and vcenter device with DTS clusters installation using thresholds to space only at this time. We do not limit our VM to place records on the same data and store, and in view of the virtual machine can have his records scattered across data warehouses in a cluster of the DS.

  We have many events that seem to do nothing is represented below.  Everyone agrees that something actually happens or vcenter turns his wheels?

  

  Thank you

  Ron

  Just answered my own question... it has to do with my scattered placement of vmdk. Since the vmx file lives on a given data store, the event shows that the activity... However if you check the DTS tab for the cluster data store you will find the disks associated with the virtual machine on other data warehouses were actually moved.
