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

Let me preface this post by saying that I am an extreme noob to VMWare... Have only used MS HyperV in the past but looking to oust most of my hardware with VMWare on the recommendation of a colleague.
On the problem.
I have a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with 32 GB of RAM and 8 TB of disk space.
I installed ESXi yesterday and you can see my original data store, called "datastore1", which is only 325 GB.
I try to add a new data store, but when I go to 'Add storage' in vSphere, select ' disk/LUN", the list is empty.
I know I'm missing something, but don't know where to look. What should I do to add a new datasore and subsequently more storage to my VMWare environment?
DRM for all help!
To add a data store storage must be allocated to the vSphere server. There is also a size limit of 2 TB less 512 bytes per LUN for a vSphere. Try a few small LUN and see if they appear as available when you add a data store. I have included a link pdf maximum configuration for vSphere 4.1

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.

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.

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.

Cannot add the new nfs datastore
Hello
I would like to get some advice how to add a new nfs data store. Here are the steps I did:
(1) I have setup a stand-alone ESXi 4 server. I configured the VMNIC0 with 192.168.100.1/24 IP with Vswitch0.
(2) I have setup a NFS storage. The NFS share is file://\\192.168.200.2\share. I tried using a Windows laptop and I can access the share.
(3) ON the ESXi server, I created another Vswitch1 with VMNIC1 IP 192.168.200.1/24. I connect my storage to VMNIC1. ESXi, I'm able to ping my storage 192.168.200.2.
(4) I connect my Windows laptop (IP 192.168.100.2) to VMNIC0. I am able to Vsphere Client to the ESXi server.
(5) using the Vsphere Client user interface, I click on 'add the new data store '. The fields that I get are "192.168.200.2" and "share". I got the below error message:
"Error while configuring the host: NFS error: unable to mount filesystem: unable to connect to the NFS server.
What it went wrong?
Kind regards
Kent
No claim, the NFS must be in the same subnet as your ESX VMKernel Port and your VI Client must be in the same subnet as the Console of the ESX Service / Management Port. But in many cases (especially with ESXi and if not configured otherwise) management and VMKernel are on the same Interface / subnet.

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

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!

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.

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

Cannot delete the local data store empty on ESXi 4
Hi all
Does anyone know how to kill the process that uses / block the process of removing the ESXi 4 data store?
I have this provblem in VI Client when I was in the middle of the removal of the Local data store
Remove datastore
The resources ESXi02_VMFS vim.host.DatastoreSystem is in use.
It's production live environment so is possible to kill the process without having to restart the ESXi 4 crowd?
Thank you.
Kind regards
AWT
OK so first try to connect with viclient to ESXi directly and see if you can remove the data store.
The command you need to nod your head do buisness hours.
Good luck!
