Cannot add the drives shared to the cluster nodes

ESX 3.5

I am trying to set up a cluster "2 nodes in a box". According to the guide of cluster (http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/vi3_35_25_u1_mscs.pdf), I created the shared disks (quorum & data) using:

vmkfstools .vdmk - c

The discs create successfully and I can see them at VIC, but when I add the disk to the virtual machine, it appears in the selection window.

Any ideas?

Oh! The mistake was all the time under our noses

vmkfstools - cdmk Kala

VMDK, not VDMK

    Hi Jeff,

    The computer manufacturing must have created a partition on the disk or provided you CD to restore the computer to the way it was when you bought it. If you have a PC clone, then probably you need to reformat your hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If you have an OEM computer (example: HP, Dell, ETC) there is most likely instructions when you turn on/off press F11 or F12 to return the computer to the computer.

    Note: Do nothing until you have all of your backup data.

  • cannot place the cluster in table

    I hope that this is a stupid question after a long day of programming.

    I can't insert this cluster in this table.  I did it for years, but for some reason any that it does not work now.

    Please notify

    Cool, that's all!

    I was able to add my decorations, after you add the cluster without decoration, in the table.

    I have attached my now (what I think) is my cool looking for control.

  • Add the cluster to an existing table in oracle

    Is it possible to add the cluster of an existing table? For example...

    I have a table:

    CREATE TABLE table_name)

    t_id number PRIMARY KEY,

    t_name varchar2 (50));

    Cluster:

    CLUSTER to CREATE my_cluster

    (c_id NUMBER) SIZE 100;

    Y at - it a command such as: ALTER TABLE t_name add CLUSTER my_cluster (t_id); or something like that?

    Because I want to table to look like this:

    CREATE TABLE table_name)

    t_id number PRIMARY KEY,

    t_name varchar2 (50))

    My_cluster (t_id) CLUSTER;

    And drop all the tables isn't really what I want to do.

    Thank you

    No,

    It is the reverse:

    A table can be stored as a segment of memory (the common way) or in a cluster.

    Will not be part of the table "in the cluster", but other parts outside.

    Please create a new table in the cluster and insert your data here.

    Sorry,

  • Cannot add the header HTML - CFWebstore on CF11

    Hello

    I get the error below on a new installation of CFWebstore v6.6 on CF11. I used a previous version of CFWebstore on CF7 and CF9 without problem. Looking for suggestions...

    Cannot add the HTML header. ColdFusion is unable to add the header specified in the output stream. It's probably because you used to define one of the ColdFusion Cookies of Session or authentication cookie. To do this, please use configuration at the application server level. The error occurred on line 213.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Gary

    I found this answer:

    To resolve this issue, connect to Coldfusion Admin, go to the memory Variables and uncheck "Disable the update from Coldfusion cookies using tags/functions of Coldfusion." Memorize your settings, and then restart your Web site.

  • Cannot add the vmkernel nic: a specified parameter was not correct. vSphere CLI + ESXi 4

    Hello. I try to add vmknic with frames in my distributed virtual switch.

    I read the vSphere command-line Interface Installation and reference Guideguide:

    "vicfg-vmknic - a-i DHCP"vmk5"

    I see the error message:

    Cannot add the vmkernel nic: a specified parameter was not correct.

    Vim.Host.VirtualNic.Specification.Ip

    What's wrong?

    I tried all the combinations of parameters with the same result.

    Ok! I've found a workaround.

    Since adding a vmkernel remote interface doesn't seem to work with DVS, I simply created one on a standard vSwitch and it then migrated to the DVS. And voila: the value 9000 MTU migrated intact with her! Here are the steps I followed:

    1. put the ESX host into maintenance mode - evacuate VMs manually if necessary

    2 remove the VMKernel iSCSI/NFS to the DVS interface

    3. create a standard virtual switch with no physical cards. He has no need to be a VMKernel VM Networking switch is fine. Make a note of the name you gave to the PortGroup created on the new vSwitch.

    4 using the remote control line, add the new interface vkernel specifying an appropriate jumbo MTU (9000) and the PortGroup on the standard new vSwitch. For example:

    esxcfg - vmknic.pl - Server

    If you get 3 answers, everything works. If you get failures, something has gone wrong. Go back and check that the interface is configured correctly using the command list esxcfg - vmknic.pl-.

    Enjoy!

  • P2V one resource to Cluster MS and not to the cluster nodes

    Hello!

    We are looking to do a P2V on our file servers, which are all 2 node A / P SAN connected MS Cluster. I see articles where people work to convert the cluster nodes themselves and then have the MS Cluster running on ESX - this isn't what I want to do.

    I've not seen any (covered by a research brief) mention of any attempt to make a virtual server Cluster MS. P2V conversion Looks like it is the best deal if it worked.

    So I FS1 as the virtual resource with N1 and N2 as nodes.  Can I run a P2V of FS1 crowd for a disk system to capture all the action, then just RDM the SAN LUNS to the VM FS1 newly created? Or am I stuck with the creation of a third node, clustered, expelling the original, closing nodes cluster services and then rename or uses DNS to point to the FULL FS1 domain name?

    Thank you!

    I know that sounds a good idea but any time
    I tried P2V ING I ended up regretting the MSCS clusters. For the file
    & Print sharing there is some direct negative side effects but for
    The SQL cluster, it is very messy. You can not P2V the virtual server name
    (FS1) directly, you must break the cluster and migrate the
    individual nodes. But as I said it's a bad idea in any case.

    If these are just some cluster file server then the easiest thing to do
    is just export actions (they are just a registry key), build a new
    clean the VM, attach the existing data as a RDM disk and import the
    registry keys. Once your happy that it work, rename the machine as
    the former name of virtual node.

  • What is the cluster node and which is a member of the cluster?

    What is the cluster node and which is a member of the cluster?
    How to differentiate them?

    I agree with you all.
    But note that a node is a server JVM. A large number of nodes can co-locate in the same machine. Entire application process or the server that is running software consistency is called a cluster node.
    But Member and the cluster node is different concepts. Consistency is logically divided into clusters, services and caches. A cluster of coherence is a group of cluster nodes that share a group address, allowing you to communicate, the cluster nodes. Generally, a cluster node will join only a single cluster, but it is possible for a cluster node to join (membership) several different groups, using a different group for each cluster address.

  • Cannot add the NFS share to store Cluster data

    Hello

    I have this scenario:

    Server - FREENAS with NFS share

    -cluster with 2 guests

    I added the NFS datastore successfully to each host in the cluster. The problem is when I try to add the NFS Datastore for the Cluster data store, I get the error: a specified poarameter was not correct. datastore.info.type.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Datastore1 and datastore2 data warehouses are data warehouses local? If so, you must remove these storages of data added before the NFS datatore to the cluster, first cause a cluster cannot be VMFS and NFS on the same cluster and second cause without making sense have warehouses of local data within a cluster data store.

  • cannot add the new hard drive more than 2 TB on vsphere upgrade 5

    can someone give me a clue? I can't add new greater than 2 TB drive to my vm on my upgraded vsphere 5.0. My data store is 6 TB and already read by vsphere... I create new virtual machine and add the new drive, but it limits again just 2 TB when I change 4 TB, the error message will appear. I recently added my datastore LUN with VMFS5 version. is there a any mistake I made? Please help me this problem is so frustrating me... i need to create new disk 6 TB to my new file server

    Hello.

    You will need to use a RDM in physical Compatibility Mode to achieve. As weinstein5 said, a VMDK cannot be greater than 2-to-512bytes. You can use the OS to spread over several 2 TB-512bytes VMDK, if that's what you really want.

    Good luck!

  • VSA installed, you cannot create the cluster "VSA unavailable Cluster"

    Hi guys

    At home, I have 2 servers ESXi with a vCenter 5 virtual running on one of these hosts (I know this is not supported or the best practice, because failure of the host with vCenter, only remains of the hosts and it doesn't have the majority because of the loss of VSA service and a host). However, I think that I have an error or an obstacle not related to this.

    Also, I plan on cold migration (first storage vMotion, deleting the VM of the inventory, adding to another host) the vCenter, so this problem should be addressed in the near future...

    Currently, I have installed the Manager of VSA on the vCenter server and when I open on my client vSphere client, I get the VSA Manager tab but when I open it, it says "Loading" and then a Flash-style/VMware View management console style dialog box pops up saying "the VSA cluster is unavailable: VC Session creation has failed." with a title "VSA Cluster unavailable."

    What I am doing wrong? I can't find much documentation on the installation of a VSA, so a little help would be appreciated by a Belgian engineer VMware junior and learning

    I have enough available storage. One of the hosts I have a 160 GB SSD and 2 TB of available HARD drive, on the other a 80 GB SSD and a volume of 320GB RAID 1 presented by a LSI Logic Controller. All of them are mounted...

    VSA Manager has the same error as reported before

    2011-12-12 16:29:28, 141 338 [SessionService] [http - 127.0.0.1 - 8080-6] ERROR - cannot get the link of the extension
    org. Apache.Axis2.AxisFault: cantTunnel00: 192.168.8.23:80 HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

    Your screenshot also indicated that vCenter is installed on port 8081. It's conssistent with the PuTTY test done before. You probably have something else listening on port 80. VSA 1.0 release requires that vCenter is Installer to the default HTTP port, port 80, which should be fixed in later versions.

  • Cannot add the Flash disk

    Hello

    I came into work this morning to find one of our servers in a State that won't start plu.

    This virtual server is hosted on an ESXi 3.5.0 123629 server with two data warehouses.

    The following error occurred when trying to start the server.

    Please check that the path is valid and try again. Cannot open disk 'path to the file DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Reason: The system cannot find the specified file.

    When you browse the data store, I could see the vmdk file.

    I learned later that the DEVSQL1_1.vmdk file has been moved to the another data store.

    Unfortunately, at this time, I removed the hard drive that was pointing to the file - 000001.vmdk if I could add a new hard disk that points the moved file from DEVSQL1_1.vmdk.

    Server started the first pop, except that the data stored on the disk problem are old.

    At this point, I stop the server and moved the DEVSQL1_1.vmdk file to its original location. Then, I removed the disc newly added and tried to add a hard drive pointing to the original DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk. When you do this I get the error "object reference is not set to an instance of an object" and I am unable to go further.

    When open the Snapshot Manager, I am unable to see relating to this disk snapshots.

    Anyone know how I can join the DEVSQL1_1 - 000001.vmdk disc in order to start the server and also have access to current data?

    Thank you very much

    Glen

    Glen - I don't think we should use this DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk snapshot

    I have no evidence that it has been used in the history of this virtual machine.
    It does not fit to the size of its parent disk.

    Do you remember if DEVSQL1.vmdk has been developed in the history of this virtual machine?

    Edit the vmx and change

    scsi0:0. FileName = 'DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk ".
    TO
    scsi0:0. FileName = "DEVSQL1.vmdk".

    It was also the State used when the machine virtual last started successfully.

    Honestly, I was a little surprised when you found this DEVSQL1 - 000001.vmdk

    You have an idea about this?

    After editing the vmx file the VM must start - when starting carefully inspect the condition = if it is out of date turn off directly.

    I doubt you'll see an out-of-date status - but if the first disk is expired I must expand the snapshot - that would be a bit strange

  • Cannot add the recovery console because I'm under WIN XP SP3, which is newer than my original version of XP

    I am trying to run the recovery on my computer console using the RUN D:\i386\winnt32 cmdcons command.  My WIN XP installation disc is before all service packs.  I get a message that I can't do it because I'm running a newer version of VICTORY than the installation disc.  How can I add the recovery console; or elsewhere to run the recovery console if I have a problem-if my drive is no longer good?

    Your being pre-service pack installation disc, there are a few things that should be done after recovery (R)

    -Service packs will need to be reinstalled.

    -One applied previously windows updates will have to be reapplied.
