• Can I delete the local data store on esx 3.5?

  I have a client with vmware ESX 3.5 no esxi

  They have a local data store but it is formatted with a block size of 1 MB, so I can put only a 256 GB VM out there and I need to put a test VM with a larger size.

  I know that in ESXi 4 you can simply delete the local data store and create a new, but I'm not familiar with ESX 3.5, are there hidden files on the data store that the server uses?  If I search for the store there's nothing in there.

  Thank you

  Hi Mike,.

  You can simply reformat your data store. Take a look at the following article:

  • http://userssuck.com/2007/07/12/how-to-change-the-blocksize-of-a-VMFS-filesystem/

  Of course, you must back up and delete any data you have on this data store before the format operation.

  Good luck!

• Copy of VM to the new data store

  I need to copy an existing virtual machine to one datatstore to the other, initially, I thought that I would be able to register to the VM, clone the virtual machine and then unregister the virtual machine.

  Unfortunately the VM I will be copying is the virtual Center VM and therefore this action must be carried out while it is connected to a host and cloning is a feature of VC.

  Is the best method to use the New-TkeDatastoreDirectory and TkeDatastoreFile-copy to copy these through to the new data store?  I think I read earlier that it does not work or is very slow for large VMDK files?

  Thank you

• 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.

• Can't see the new external hard drive connected to my iMac for my MacBook?

  Hi all

  I connected a new 8 TB external Seagate HD to my iMac and I try to see it from my MacBook Air and MacBook to my partner.

  It is properly formatted (journaled MacOS and GUID) and have not had any problems with the 3 TB drive, that we were connected before.

  File sharing on and everything seems normal.

  For the life of me, I can't drive/partitions from the MacBook, although he is able to see the old drive.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hey Dr.Tobyk,

  Not being not able to see a new disk on your network, when you can still see the old drive would make me crazy. I use sharing like this every day and you know how convenient it can be.

  I always look at how a new drive to share implementation is always How to connect with the file sharing on your Mac this article helps me to solve the problems which arise.

  Things I always look how implementation of a new drive, that it is in the list of shared folders and check that user boxes has the correct user with the correct access.

• ESXI 5.1 "the disc is not thin-provisioned" after copying to the new data store vmdk

  I wanted to create an external backup as a 2nd VM ready-to-run on the 2nd data store.

  I've removed all snapshots, stop the machine virtual and exported the OVF file to a computer, adjusted to the size of the original virtual machine starts in Gparted to update the partition and restart. All very well.

  I then tried to deploy the OVF in the data store alternative (235GB slim, thickness according to the deployment of 250 Wizard). I tried both thick and thin but the error message "cannot deploy the OVF. The operation was cancelled by the user.

  I then manually downloaded the VMDK & OVF file to the 2nd data store and tried to inflate but then received the message "a specified parameter was not correct. The disc isn't thin provisioned. ».

  It seems I have dealing with the same thing, as this is the document here (http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vsphere/55/vsphere-vcenter-server-55u3-release-notes.html).  However, I have no idea what to do now... and I'm worried because it seems that my backup plan may not work if I can't restore an OVF/VMDK from a disk of visas.

  The solution to the first problem here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2172950#2172950 that solved my problem 2nd too.

• 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.

• How to migrate Office persistent link clones of workstations for the new data store

  Hello. We have clones of persistent link to view running in the environment from our view. We need to migrate these desktops to new storage. Rebalancing is out as this will include a refresh operation - destroy anything and everything installed in c:\ of the user. Is there a method to migrate Desktop clone link persistent to a new data store, while keeping the office in the same exact state (i.e. c:\ is not updated).

  Thank you

  Never say impossible. I came across the solution when I read the article by Duncan Epping:

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/03/15/Dr-of-view-persistent-linked-clone-desktops/

  I have that for my situation. Basically, replicate data from view in the new storage warehouses. Set up data warehouses replicated without re-signing with the cluster of ESXi. Turn the power off and unsubscribe the vCenter view workstations. Save the workstations from the data store replicated/mounted to vCenter and power over desktop computers.

  VCenter, nothing dramatic has happened if she sees just as vm being unregistered and re-recorded activity from the same exact data store (the same UUID). View Admin is happy because he sees just the events as desktop computers that have been turned off and then subsequently in reverse. Nothing has changed regarding the database to view ADAM, we still use the same data warehouses.

  I have already tested before for a scenario of View DR, and he succeeded. Between remembering who and Duncan's article helped me to adapt the same process for this. Nothing is impossible

• Can't see the new Photoshop CC interface

  I use CC - audit "about Photoshop" in the menu file confirms that, but I do not see some new elements of CC interface.  In particular, I don't see the new layer comp controls.  Any thoughts?

  CC of Photoshop and Photoshop CC 2014 are two completely separate applications.

  If you choose Help - system information and see 14.x.x in the version field, you use the other oldest.

• Can't see the new table in the PS Group Manager

  Sorry guys, I'm kinda new to storage management. I worked in existing bays built by the last person who was here. Now that he is gone, I was charged with the addition of two additional paintings/members to our existing EqualLogics. Problem is that I see the 2 members in Group Manager, but not the 2 new ones. We have a data center managed by 3rd party and they say that they have wired everything in. Both are supposed to be cross-connected series via a connection to one of our servers and the other in an existing table. Now physically I don't know how everything is connected. I console just in Workgroup Manager. I don't see new members there. I tried to connect from one of the servers connected using PuTTY and the connection series. I've used sides of Baud has offered online. But I can't connect what either. Sorry if this sounds very basic - but what don't get me? How to see these devices to even configure the network adapters and RAID?

  Thanks for any help guys

  Hmm... what exactly do you mean with "the table is connected to the active controller?

  Guys in your data center can make the photo of the back of the EQL? See the two CMs with the cables and the LEDS may help.

  When putty.exe close the window immediately that there is probably nothing on the other end, but when it remains open, it is normally a good sign. Press 'enter' or ctrl + c. If you see garbage or nothing the connection parameters doesn't match. Once again its 9600/8/1/n.

  Note: if ever you restart an active EQL the CM moves which makes it difficult when with only a working serial cable.

  You can also try is turning off the device. Verify that your connection to the CM right and turn on again. You will see output of a CM of start-up.

  Do not use is not a black font on a black background in putty also makes life easier ;)

  Kind regards

• Help! Can't see the user data...

  I've been using Palm Desktop 4.2 for some time on my laptop (Windows XP SP3) to the notes, calendar, and contacts/address book, but a couple of days Desktop no longer sees the data. The files are still there in the folder of user name and I can see a part of the data if I import the files one by one, but I guess there is a simple method for re-login to the desktop with the file of the user application. I've looked through the forum and Knowledge Base, but could not find a query that was exactly it.

  Thank you!

  After you have created the new user, copy and paste the .dat files in the correct location of the new user.

• Move VM vcenter to the new data store

  Hello

  I have a cluster with 2 data warehouses and I must "empy"one for then reassign the disks on the SAN. " However I seem to be in a situation of catch-22 virtual machines, I need to move/migrate is the VM vCenter. I need to have propelled him down to move the data store, but then I have no way related to migration. I presume that this requires a manual move/copy of the vCenter VM file to a data to another store, but not sure of the consequences etc..
