  Could you please someone check the script above and let me know if there is something wrong

  Thank you!!

  But wait a minute, you mean that the "Num vMotions" and "Num of SvMotions" properties have a value of 0?

  This is normal, since you ask for events for the entity of the group, while you should do it for all the virtual machines in the cluster.

• Random virtual machines after vMotion and Storage vMotion network loss

  Hi all -

  I have a couple of tickets open with VMware and our supplier of SAN, EqualLogic, on this issue.  Since the configuration of our production and DMZ clusters we noticed that the virtual machines will sometimes drop network connectivity after a successful vMotion and Storage vMotion.  Sometimes, although much less frequently, virtual machines also spontaneously lose network overnight.  What happened only a few times.  The strange thing is that the other guests on the VM host are fine - they lose any network.  Actually, I can do no more than 3 computers virtual host to another, and 2 of 3 can switch correctly, so that we lose the network.  The work around?  Simply 'disconnect' from the virtual NETWORK card 'reconnect' and the virtual machine will start the return packets.  I can also switch the VM troubled return to the host State and it will find the network.  I can it reboot and re - win network.  I can re - install the virtual card completely, and she re - win network.

  VMware has seen a lot of mistakes of SAN in our log files in order to update us our SAN firmware to the latest version.  That seems to have fixed that but we still have the issue.  Here are some of the specifications - all environments are virtually identical except for memory:

  Of PowerEdge R810

  NICs Broadcom 5709

  EqualLogic SAN running 5.0.5 F/W

  We use frames.  ESXi is fully patched.  I haven't seen a boss or not, it is only some guest operating system that loses the network, but we are a Windows environment.

  When a virtual machine loses the network, we can not:

  • Ping to it
    
  • Ping it
    
  • Ping him at the virtual machines on the same host or vSwitch
    
  • Ping outside our network
    
  • resolve DNS, etc..
    

  I followed some KBs VMware without success, including:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003839
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & externalId = 1002811 (port security is not enabled)

  -All the VMware tools have been updated to the latest version correct and corresponds to the ESXi host
  -Connected to the service ESXi console, I cannot ping the VM problem by name of host or IP address, but I can ping do not affected by the issue of the OTHER virtual machines.  I can also pings the service console.
  -Connected to the troubled virtual machine itself, I cannot ping other virtual machines, I can't resolve host names, I cannot ping by IP.  The machine virtual CAN ping itself by IP, but not hostname.  I cannot ping other virtual computers on the same virtual switch or network by either IP or host name.  I can't ping the vSwitch network management.
  -All vSwitches are configured in the same way and the same.
  -Notify the switches is set to yes
  -There are a lot of available virtual ports
  -We tried the E1000 and VMXNET virtual cards with no difference.
  -All cards are configured to negotiate, but we tried to force individuals speeds as well as with no difference

  I appreciate your help.  I have problems getting anywhere on this issue with the sellers.

  Still having the issue...

  Sometimes, it might be useful to really check that all uplinks VMNIC for all VLAN does work them. Try this is to create a new portgroup on the vSwitch used by your virtual machines on the host of the first, put a test VM on the portgroup, then go into the NIC teaming policy from the new portgroup and select "Override switch command failover."

  Then down vmnic all except one in unused, then only a single VMNIC is active. Then set the portgroup VLAN to a production of VLAN and try to see if we could ping some expected from the different addresses. If it works, then move VMNIC work until unused and move up to another asset. Try again, and this for all the vmnic. If it works, then you have verified that the configuration of VLANS and other settings are correct on the physical switch in the face of this host ports.

  If several VLANs, repeat the process for all other productions VLAN. Then repeat on the other hosts.

  While that may take some time, occurs if everything is properly configured on the physical switches. When occurs a vMotion virtual machine gets a new "Port code" and is assigned to a new outgoing VMNIC. If there is an error of configuration on one or more physical ports that might seem random, but may still happen on VLAN x on y VMNIC. Given that Port ID policy you use indeed spread randomly VMs on the vmnic these problems may be difficult to diagnose. (Make a disconnection of the VM vNIC gives the virtual machine a new port-ID, which it will move to a new outgoing VMNIC, which might seem to solve the problem.)

• question of vMotion and storage vMotion

  I have everything set, UCS 5108, ESXi host, VMs, I don't have a SAN connection yet... My question is if I can enable vMotion? Let's say I have a cluster in vCenter, within this group, I have attached two ESXi host, win2008 VM in an ESXi and running, I can migrate (using vMotion) as win2008 VM to an another ESXi without connection SAN?

  How storage vMotion to an ESXi host hardrive to an another ESXi host hardrive? Is this possible?

  Note: I have not connection SAN in this configuration

  One of the requirements for vMotion is shared storage that would allow visibility between source and destination ESXi hosts. (SAN, iSCSI or NFS).

  You can use OpenFiler as an iSCSI for lab tests SAN

• Query vMotion and Storage vMotion events

  Hello

  I found the attached script on the site of Alan and it works very well in the listing of vmotion for a period of time selective event. I have been asked to do the same thing for Storage vMotion and would like to try this if possible in a single query.

  Thank you

  Take a look at get vMotion/svMotion history.

  When you have events, it will be easy to calculate meters through a Measure-Object cmdlet.

• VCenter and storage vmotion on remote vmhost

  Hello

  I have the following situation and hope someone has an idea if it works.

  I have here in Germany my vcenter for our clusters here in Germany. Now, I want to have

  a Vsphere host, which relates to the vcenter in Germany. The host has a temp.

  iSCSI Storagelun. Now, I want to do/initiate a vmotion of local iSCSI storage

  disk of the server in Italy during my viclient here in Germany. -So my question is, will go

  traffic during the migration of storage on the vcenter in Germany? Or will the data traffic

  only in the Italy site? Hope someone can help me here.

  TNX in advance

  Torsten

  Storage vMotion is an operation of the host, and therefore the transfer of data should remain completely in Italy.

• Peut funtion Vmotion and Storage Vmotion with Intel and AMD hosts within the same cluster

  Hi, I can do storage Vmotion OR Vmotion between Intel and AMD hosts within the same group?

• Data store inventory and storage VMotion

  Hello

  We have a host of ESXi 4.0 U1 with vCenter 4.0 U1 environment 5.

  Having acquired a whole new NetApp FC SAN FAS2040, we are trying to gradually Storage VMotion all VMs in front of our old EMC SAN.

  However, after VM have been VMotioned of storage, they always appear in the inventory of the store of data EMC (as contained in the NetApp data store!).

  If we edit the VM, the spectacle of .vmdks as being located on the NetApp.

  Will be the client update its inventory at any time data store?  We tried the view refreshed, restart the client, vCenter services restart, restart the server vCenter - all to nothing does not.

  Thank you very much

  PS - When you browse NetApp data warehouses, it seems to take a long v. for folders / files to appear! (get "Searching datastore... ("for a while)

  Is there anything that is attached to the virtual machines (CDROM/ISO file,...) which is still on the EMC storage?

• Isolate the vMotion and storage traffic?

  We use ESXi 5.1 using two physical switches for management traffic and two physical switches for VM and storage vMotion traffic. We use a DVSwitch with VLANS separated for VMs (125), storage (126) and vMotion traffic (127). My question is really about the physical switch setting. I have installation of VLANs, 125, 126 and 127 on my main switch with each of them having a layer 3 interface. I think that only the network of the VM (vlan 125) needs a layer 3 interface. In other words, my VLAN storage and vMotion is not routable by removing the 3 layer interface.

  Does this sound correct?

  Another twist, I have a Juniper switch where all layer 3 interfaces are defined. It is connected to 4 switches in the rear of my IBM Bladecenter. Two of these switches are Cisco 1 GB switches that carry all traffic to the management through a vSwitch network. The other two switches are BNT 10 GB switches that carry traffic for Storage vMotion and VMs. Of course, it's a network connection, because it carries several VLANS.

  My only question now is should I eliminate interface layer 3 on my storage network located on one vlan separate

  Well, you need your storage system accessible on these IP addresses by the systems for the management of the other subnets or such? You already have all traffic from subnet inter between iSCSI and other networks? If this isn't the case, then there is no need to have routable iSCSI network.

  For the ESXi hosts themselves there is usually zero reason to have vmkernel iSCSI interfaces be routable since you already do management etc on another routable network (and responses of hosts would be sent there as well except if you define static routes custom).

• Please explain SVmotion (Storage Vmotion) and DRS for storage in simple words

  Friends,

  I little confusing... could you please contact Storage vmotion and DRS for storage in simple words and the important points to remember in this regard...

  Kind regards

  Sirot

  Storage DRS is a feature that you allow warehouses of data aggregated on a single object (cluster) and recommend the implementation of disks in virtual machine based on the performance of the store of data and the available space on the data store.

  The DRS storage uses Storage vMotion to migrate virtual (online) computers from a data store to another to balance data store performance and space.

  You can use Storage vMotion without storage DRS too, moving virtual machine between clusters of DRS storage and warehouses of data even from the local level to the data store shared.

• Cannot Storage Vmotion between EMC Celerra NFS and NFS VNX

  Recently we have improved our infrastructure VMware 3.5 to 5.0. Managed to migrate all virtual machines to the Esxi5.0 without any problems. More recently, we bought new storage EMC VNX 5300, set up and configured the NFS storage for the early. All the warehouses of new data related to blades and all storage pools, old and new can be found under vCenter.

  Problem we have is that we can not Storage vMotion virtual machines of the old Celerra NFS for new NFS VNX stores. It comes back with the error "cannot access file VM VNX {datastore} filename '. We got a similar message appears when you try to create a new virtual machine or import an OVF on VNX new data warehouses.

  We have the license of the company, with Dell M600 blades with EMC storage as mentioned above.

  Pointers would be appreciated

  Kem

  Thanks for your contributions, but I solved it. A bit of a 'schoolboy error', but although I had added to the VMKernel IP in the host root and read-write in the NFS export properties, I also need to add the IP address of the hosts/blades. Storage vMotion successfully in new stores VNX. THX Kem

• Storage vmotion - 3.5 hosts and 4.1

  Having 2 esx3.5 u3 (or whatever the last update was for 3.5) and 2 new esxi 4.1 (Yes, I know - but it is only temporary - will be promoted to the 5.1 this fall).

  3.5 hosts to connect to the storage on the old NetApp using iSCSI. 4.1 guests have the new NetApp NFS data warehouses but also have access to iSCSI data stores.

  So storage vmotion, 3.5 guests should be able to 'see' NFS data warehouses? Alternatively, can the fact that the destination can see both of them, enough?

  Also - if I need to create data warehouses NFS on the 3.5 hosts - tips for me?

  ;-)

  wait - wait

  I think it's become clear to me. Wow - so simple! As long as the new hosts can see old data warehouses (they do it), then we have vmotion of old hosts again and then storage vmotion of iscsi to the NFS and old guests don't need to 'see' the NFS at all.

  DUH!

  LOL - Thanks for being a sounding box!

• VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• Storage vmotion and vsphere 4.1 eval

  Hello

  I use vsphere 4.1 (eval version). I have two hosts with shared storage.  I have installed vcenter and the two added hosts.

  When I try to storage vmotion, a virtual machine, I find that the "Change host and data store" option is grayed out.

  Under the option greyed out is the line "the VM must be power off to change the virtual host machine and data store"

  When I look at 'Features licensed' I see "Storage vMotion" is available.

  Any ideas why I can't storage vmotion?

  Thank you very much

  p.s Someone can tell me are the different versions of vsphere Essentials that is, Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise more etc, in fact different pieces of software or the other a difference of license?

  What you have selected is not a Storage vMotion.  If you want to change the data store, you cannot change the host at the same time.  If you change hostm you cannot change the data store at the same time.

  Choose one or the other.

• Storage vMotion and RDM

  I have a question for you about storage vMotion. I have a virtual machine with a vmdk file and a RDM. I want to storage vmotion the vmdk file. There is also a file associated with the ROW pointer. How this pointer file is reassocie to the RDM? I'm evacuating small LUNS and move virtual machines to the largest lun.

  On page 199 and 201 of the basic ESX Administrator's Guide, it states that, if I select "same as Source for a RDM, only the mapping file will be migrated. Have you done this before? I just wanted to see if anyone in the field has had an experience with this process.

  7. If you chose to move the virtual machine configuration file and virtual disks, select a disc format, and then click

  Next.

  Description of the option

  Same as Source to use the format of the original virtual disk.

  If you select this option for a RDM in physical or virtual drive

  compatibility mode, only the mapping file is migrated.

  Thin provisioned using the format thin to save storage space. The thin virtual disk use as

  storage space because it needs for its initial implementation. When the virtual disk

  needs more space, it can grow in size up to its maximum allowed of capacity.

  This option is not available for RDM in physical compatibility mode. If you

  Select this option for a virtual RDM compatibility mode, the ROW is

  converted to a virtual disk. RDM converted virtual disks cannot be

  converted into RDM.

  Thick allocate an amount fixed disk space for the virtual disk. The virtual

  drive in thick format does not change its size and from the beginning

  occupies the entire data store space for her.

  This option is not available for RDM in physical compatibility mode. If you

  Select this option for a virtual RDM compatibility mode, the ROW is

  converted to a virtual disk. RDM converted virtual disks cannot be

  converted into RDM.

  Thank you

  Hi Savoy6,

  When you sVmotion a virtual machine with a disc RDM, the pointer file is re-created on the new location and points to the raw LUN.

  Take a look at this kb for more information.

  It may be useful
