• 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.

• How many data store should be left to host his own execution

  Hi all

  I have EXSI 5.5 installed host recently. I'm going to create a new virtual machine on that host, but the data on this host store is about 2 TB and I want to put 1.8 to for my VM machine, so I only 0.2 TB left. The issue is with 0.2 left to there, that's enough to run its own code structures and data from the host? How to determine how much should be left? The same question for the memory and the processor.

  Could you please help with that?

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

  ESXi is roughly Ligh weight. During Installation, the ESXi would automatically create the partitions. XXXX to hold (key code) bootbank, altbootbank, 4 Gigs vfat, store partition for tools and etc, that would be enough for the ESXi run and would not need anything else. A total of about 5 G of space is used and the rest should be left aside for you to create data stores to store virtual machines.

  From left to right on the space, ensure that you have left at least 20 to 30 GB per VM separately to run snapshots in your patch/maintenance cycles.

• Data store mobile (vm machine) 1 host to another with the help of free hypervisor on the two hosts

  I have 2 hosts running ESXi 4.1 (free version of the hypervisor). Both have their own data store locally.

  I need to move a VM machine (data store) of a host for the other local data store. There best way to do this with the free hypervisor?

  Hello

  Using VMWare Converter standalone 4.0, it's a free VMWare tool exactly for situations like yours. I use the conversion tool to transfer my virtual machines much between different hosts of ESXi and also founded to convert ESXi VMs to VMWare Server/Workstation and vice versa.

  All you need to do is turn off the virtual machine and make sure that it is in the inventory of the ESXi host source; Use the VMWare Infrastucture option while selecting the source and the destination of VMWare Converter Standalone, you will be asked to provide identification name and connection of your ESXi source servers and destination information.

  VMWare Converter Standalone is a brialliant tool, its very flexible in that you can resize your hard drive, use a provisioning, edit all devices.

  Hope this information useful 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.

• Maintenance of the data store: umount CF datastore?

  Hello.

  We have a cluster of ESX (vSphere 4) with several warehouses (NFS and Fibre Channel) accessible from all ESX hosts and want to perform maintenance on one of the CF data stores. We do not want to stop all the ESX Cluster, since some of the VMS are in production use. Thus, one of the ESX hosts must be running during maintenance of the data store, with the VMs in storage migrated to a NFS data store to market.

  So far, it's simple: VMotion and Storage VMotion can be used to achieve a situation where all important machines are on the good ESX host, with their storage on the NFS datastore. The ESX host with virtual machines without importance will be stopped (after their virtual machines, of course).

  The crucial question is: How can we we safely power down the data store FC for maintenance? We have to somehow disconnect, umount, or cancel the configuration of the data store CF on the ESX host running? Or is it just to turn off the CF data store?

• SWAP file data store remove issue

  Hello

  I'm currently moving VMs to the data store newly created as well the datastore file swap. I have already change on all ESXi hosts, the data store were swap file will reside, however, I have still a few virtual machines on the old data store. I know not if I vMotion virtual machines from one host to another it will change the location for the swap file. My question is, can I just remove the old data store without affecting production not VMs remained the swapfile on the old location? Just try to find a solution faster than vMotion every single one of the virtual machines.

  Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

  Hello

  As long as all hosts are no longer using the data store and the cluster is not defined using volume swapfile host (rather than storing with VM) then you should be able to disassemble the old swap partition.

  Bare in mind, vMotion/svMotion a virtual computer, you must be sure to move all the files and the virtual machine is set to store his exchange with the virtual machine files. Check that the old swap partition is no longer in use, and then take it apart. In theory the fastest way is to ensure that all VMs are defined to store swap with virtual machine files to the off and on again, forcing a new .vswp file in the same device. But it would of course affect your VM availability.

  I've seen in the past that even if the volume was no longer used by the guests, that guests required a restart until I managed to remove the old Exchange store data, just in case you meet that!

• Impossible to disassemble a data store

  People

  I am not able to disassemble a data store. The validation of the VM presence test is a failure. I checked there is no virtual machine running in the DS. Initially, there are two files orphaned hard which I deleted. But it still does not allow me to disassemble the DS.

  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Even if the files are present in the data store, you can remove the data store (VMFS file system) on the LUN device. I've attached screenshots step by step where I did exactly the same activity on our environment. Here, I had some files on the data store that I wanted to turn off unwanted. Let me know if you can follow it without problems in your environment. -Thor.

  Dear all,

  We have enclosed a case at VMware, please find their findings on the same.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  After the webex session, we just had, I discovered the root cause of the problem reported to an underlying problem on the block device (the logical drive, or a problem on the Board) presented to accommodate the data in question store successfully.

  In short, whenever we try to do raw reading from the disk (from sector 0), the same always fail when we reach the 30932992 bytes (31 MB) brand with an IO error (which is consistent, he is always on this region of the disc that read operations fail, no more, no less). This result can be seen, even if no partition is in the disk (using if = / dev/sdb instead of/dev/sdb1 with dd) and even after zeroing on all sectors (if dd \u003d/dev/zero of = / dev/sdb). Strangely, read operations work fine (as he writes zeros of random data) throughout the entire disk. Keep in mind that the tests I did with no VMware tools (I used almost only dd for these operations), which prohibits certainly a VMware problem (in fact, if you were to try to start the server with a Linux live CD and run the same tests that I did, you would see the same behavior).

  I know that there is no report of material of any bad behavior on the table, but data collected with our tests today completely invalid who. The next step is for you to take this to the server provider to check for problems on the table or discs, because they are there and they are the reason for the problem you reported initially.

  Please let me know if you have other questions about it.

  Thank you

  Mr. VMware

• Visible data VMFS store on 3 of the 6 armies. 3 the remaining hosts see LUNS, status is mounted, but the data store is not visible.

  As the title suggests, all hosts see LUNS... can't understand the question. Here is a shot of the vmkernel.log captured from the server, as it was a new analysis (which translates into a loop of activity in the log file and hard + 10 minutes without change for storage).

  The SAN is preesnting LUN and successfully... so it must be on the host side. In an act of desperation, yesterday I reinstalled ESXi on a troubled host. He was able to see the data stores. Today, they were more visible.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• Move an ESX3.5 to ESX4 data store

  Hello

  Here's the question:

  I have actually 3 esx 3.5 with 3 data store connected from a SAN and each data store connected to all the nodes of esx and a few other virtual machine running on the data store local.

  And I also 3 new esx4 nodes.

  What I want to do: remove the old data store without remove the virtual machine from the ESX 3.5 and attach directly to the new nodes esx4. The san connection is ok, im not scared of this point.

  I tried to simply remove the data from the vsphere client store, but when you try to remove it, all the data in the data store is deleted, its now what we expect!

  The question: is it possible? and how?

  Thx for your answers

  Access to new hosts of data warehouses before cancel you them old hosts mapping. Make sure VM files are visible to the ESX 4 hosts, unsubscribe 3.5 VMs (directly, or simply migrate VMS 4.0 guests) one then disconnect warehouses of 3.5

• Get-hard drives - storage drives data store migrate between data warehouses

  Hi all

  
  

  Our current storage configuration with specially designed split-role of the bases of data storages (OS, LOG SQL, SQL DATA, APP, Exchange roles, etc.)  I do a storage store on my VMware Infrastructure and hoped to target only the disks of virtual machines that are on any data store and migrate them to another.  Rather new to PowerCli if you're wondering why the bellows of the command does not work and the reports that the file is locked.
  

  
  

  Get-hard drive - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Moving-hard drive - data store Datastore02

  If the machine virtual itself is made aware of the command?  Would I have to enumarte the virtual machines on the first data store and then target discs that everyone has and redirect it to the hard disk Move command?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you are banging in the sequence of commands trying to move a file on the data store without referencing the virtual machine. According to the State of the virtual machine (lit or not) of different things happen

  • VM power off - the disc is moved and the virtual machine is broken (the vmx file will always point to the original location for the HD that is no longer there)
  • Virtual MACHINE power - the disk is locked, so it cannot be moved (the error you have seen)

  Another thing to keep in mind is that the configuration of the VM is also on a data store, so if you want to move the entire virtual machine you can just move the hard drives

  If all the virtual machines on a data store have all their HDs on this data store then you can do something like

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Move-VM - data store "Datastore02".

  To access the VM configuration, but also his records. If you have virtual machines where the disks into a single virtual machine, then you will have a little more work to do to sort the records that must be moved

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Get-hard drive | Where-Object {$_.} FileName.Contains ("[Datastore01]")} | Moving-hard drive - data store "Datastore02".

  This is all virtual machines with a component (hard drive or configuration) on Datastore1, and then for each VM is all hard disks that are on Datastore01 and the Datastore02

• Move a virtual machine to a specified data store, creating thin discs

  I apologize for the very basic question.

  Can someone please provlde a working example of a command-line PowerCLI to move a given virtual machine (for example of the ' t "MY VM Sample" with spaces in the name) of a given data store (say, "Source_datastore", I should specify?) to a given data store (say, "Target_datastore") thin discs?

  Concerning

  Marius

  Get - VM "name VM | Move-VM - Datastore (Get-VMHost "HostName" |) Get - Datastore - name of the "DatastoreName") DiskStorageFormat - slim

  You could just specify the data store without having to get the VMhost initially, but if you have multiple clusters with the same name of data warehouses, he can't shoot straight.

• 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);

  Initially, I had only a single device defined within the iqn.2012 - 10 .cpd .net: san.target01 and I was able to create a data store on the ESXi hosts that I have running in my lab. I then added a second disk (LUN 1 above), but I still show that the possibility of having the original data store. When I look at the "storage adapters" on another host, details the software iSCSI card show 1 target connected, 2 devices and 2-way. If I should not be able to mount MON 1 as a second data within the host store?

  I don't use iSCSI anywhere in production and only play with it so that I can familiarize myself with the portion of iSCSI for test VCP5-VTC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Has proved to be a problem with tgtd. I actually had to reboot the server to get exports to work properly - the normal command "tgtd restart service" has been leaving some kind of autour artifacts that prevented VMware to see the changes properly.
