Cannot create the data store

Similar Questions

• Cannot create the data store: the current licence or ESXi version prohibited the execution of the requested operation.

  using vicfg-nas I am unable to create/remove a datastore nfs on my lab running esxi 6 at home. Is this not supported? Listing them works well. I can create/delete data warehouses nfs using the client to vcenter very well, but it's a little embarrassing.

  I guess that the host is allowed with the free edition of hypervisor! One of the few restrictions of the free version of hypervisor is access to the API. In order to have "write access" (i.e. change things rather than the list of them) you must run the host in evaluation mode, or license (Essentials or better).

• Cannot create the data in vSphere 4.1 store

  Hi all

  I can't create a data store in my client vSphere 4.1.

  When I start to create the data store, I get this error, notice how it also says that disk is empty - it is also misrepresentation of the size of the 250 GB drive - should be 3.4 TB

  

  I can go beyond this by pressing return, and then click Next, but after that I entered a data store name, this error pops up:

  

  I don't know why this is, I've also tried it on several other client machines, all show the same errors - I join two error logs in the hope that someone will be able to shed some light on this.

  Thank you

  As said, LUNs presented to the host need to be ESXi <= 2tb="" minus="" 512="" bytes="" in="" order="" to="" work="" as="" expected.="" for="" the="" reason="" of="" this="" limitation="" see=""> http://kb.vmware.com/kb/3371739

  Alternatively, you may consider upgrade to ESXi 5.0, supporting the LUN with up to 64 TB.

• ESX host cannot see the data store

  Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!

  Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.

  Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.

  In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.

• Script to get the ID of the new LUN to create the data store

  Forgive the question from a novice - I'm not a developer at all.

  I am trying to write a script that will create a data store on a new iSCSI LUN - the problem is that I have already several other LUNS with the warehouses of data on it, so after I refresh the HBA, basically need to understand is that the new LUN and create a store of data on it.

  I made all sorts of googling and found scripts to create a new store database, but only in the first store of data on a new iSCSI target.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  You can try the first script of Arnim in list HBA WWPN and LUN using Powershell

• Cannot remove the data store in esxi 3.5 - can help you

  OK - I have a problem. I messed up and now I'm stuck.

  I was "apparently" in the middle of a converter working, and I deleted the comments of esxi3.5, while the converter still worked.

  I selected the rafale and made a removal of the disc that worked, however the structure of associated file (windows 2000 Server) for this guest has not been deleted, so I chose my data store (datastore1) and - do you have a store of navigation data and when I try to delete the folder associated with the guest, I deleted I get the following error :

  "General failure caused by file" (with a "/" on the next line) and all I can do at this point is to click OK box to acknowledge the error and I can't delete the folder. I can't rename it either.

  I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to create a new client with the same name as the folder and delete the comments again, but that does not work either.

  I'm really stuck - I'm afraid to go into maintenance mode because I have no idea what I'm going to be confronted here since I never used the maintenance mode.

  any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

  You can try to do a refresh of the data store. The folder structure is not re read very often. In the data store Navigator, click the folder root on the left side and click on the Refresh button.

• Cannot remove the data store

  Hello

  I am trying to remove a shared in Vsphere 5.0 SAN data store, and it fails to say that the datstore is in use. When I try to take it apart there is a red cross next to the statement that no virtual machines must be present. The data store is empty and afaics no point of virtual machines don't have any disk pointing it at all. He got a present HA heartbeat folder but I've reconfigured HA no to use the DS and could then remove the folder HA and empty so the DA, but still in use reports

  Gerry,

  Is it possible that your virtual machine contains a cd connected to the data store? I came across that once where a virtual machine was showing that the use of two data warehouses, but there files were only in one. I found that I had connected the reader of cd/dvd via the client to a file that was in this other data store. Just a thought.

• Cannot create the data VMFS on SAN store

  Recently, I wiped two Dell 2950 running 3.0 with no problems. I installed the 3.5 update 4 and since I can not create a VMFS data store in the GUI. I get an error that says "error during the configuration of the host: cannot open the volume: / vmfs/volumes/xxxxx".

  When I connect the console to the root, I see that the volume has been created, and I can even write. I also noticed that the data link store does not work as well.

  Storage EMC CX3 is CX4.

  I tried this on two servers various and two tables of sotrage.

  Ah yes... CLARiiON storage system must use MRU failover.

  Happy that you guessed it sort

• How to create the data store with multiple LUNS

  Someone could please tell me that how can I have multiple LUNS in a single data store, is it possible?

  See the "Storage management" section in the document provided in the previous comment. You are probably looking for information on page 104.

• Create the data store Partiotion

  Hi all

  She can tell how to set the 'HostDiskPartitionSpec' - & gt; partition property.

  Please help me.

  For more information, please see below, that's what I have to do I have size of vdisk SAN I don't know how to set the following property mainly 'attributes', 'sector statr', 'endsector '.

  Data object - HostDiskPartitionAttributes

  Property of

  [file:///C:/vmware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.DiskPartitionInfo.Specification.html#field_detail]
  

  Extends

  [file:///C:/vmware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.DynamicData.html]
  

  Data object

  Description

  A single disk partition information.  A partition is a contiguous

  set of blocks on a disk that is marked to be used.  Identifies the typeId

  the data in the partition object.

  Properties

  Name	Type	Description
  attributes	xsd:byte	The attributes on the partition.
  endSector	xsd: long	The end sector.
  logic	xsd: Boolean	Flag to indicate if the partition is logic.  If true, the partition number must be greater than 4.
  partition	xsd: int	The number of partition.  Must be a positive integer.
  startSector	xsd: long	The boot sector.
  type	xsd: String	Data type of the partition.  If it's a well known partition type, It will be one of the defined types.  If this isn't the case, then it will be reported as a hexadecimal number.  For example, 'none', 'vmfs', 'linux ',. and '0 x 20' all values are valid. See file:///C:/vmware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.DiskPartitionInfo.Type.html
  Properties inherited from file:///C:/vmware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.DynamicData.html
  file:///C:/VMware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.dynamicdata.html#dynamicProperty, file:///C:/vmware/doc/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.DynamicData.html#dynamicType

  Please answer me as soon as POSSIBLE.

  property 'partition' is a positive integer that identifies the disk partition. So, if you create a logical partition (i.e., setting the property to "logical" true) then you need to assign any positive integer that is greater than 4 to this property.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot create the data source to SQL Server

  Hi people,

  I am running IIS, Windows XP SP3, SQL Express 2005, Trial Version of ColdFusion 9 (no patches).

  The administrator using ColdFusion, when I try to create a data source for SQLExpress 2005 (SQL Server Express), by using the SQL Server driver, I get the following error:

  Connection verification failed for data source: AMT
  java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia] [SQLServer JDBC Driver] the requested instance is not valid or is not running.
  The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia] [SQLServer JDBC Driver] the requested instance is not valid or is not running.

  The "instance", which I interpret as meaning the database instance, is "machinename\SQLExpress" (it is a so-called "named instance").  That's what I enter in the "Server" field of the display (data & Services-> sources-> Microsoft SQL Server).

  However, I am able to create an ODBC data source name in Windows using the driver Microsoft SQL Server Native Client Version 09.00.3042 and the same instance, "machinename\SQLExpress".

  Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?

  Try to use the domain name TCP/IP (or IP address) and port instead of the info of the connectivity of Windows style.  You may need to enable TCP/IP as a network on the DB server protocol well (I think it is disabled by default on SQL Express Ed).

• HP ProLiant DL160 - cannot create the data with local storage (controller, no RAID) store

  Hi all. I appreciate your time and comments.

  Using VMware ESXi (initially), installation (VMware ESXi 5.5.0, 1331820) will very well (install on USB). Able to enter in the console of the vSphere Client, everything seems normal. Any attempt to use local storage, however, is filled with this error message: http://i.imgur.com/40ySsOS.png

  "It was not correct to specified parameters. Vim.Host.DiskPartitionInfo.spec"-" 'HostStorageSystem.ComputerDiskPartitionInfo' call for object 'storage system' on ESXi "< ip address >" failed. "

  I tried both the base (from VMware) installation disc and the "Custom" (HP) HP installation disk. Both have the same problem: all facilities, but local disks - as seen while - are not able to serve local storage. It worked very well (previous incarnation was as Server 2003 file server, no reported\noticed questions). It's not under warranty, its going to be used as a laboratory server. All this seems to work well.

  Specifics:

  HP DL160 G6

  Storage card: ICH10 6 Port SATA AHCI Controller

  Discs: 3 G MDL 500 GB 7200

  Controller and the disks are perceived by the system: http://i.imgur.com/3PAKQHL.png

  Can someone point me in the right direction on what to go here? Research on the error messages do not lead to a lot of help. I'll get more pending. I would be grateful.

  This could be a problem with the current data on the disk. I suggest clean you the partition info using the DD explained to the KB VMware: Troubleshooting in the add storage Wizard error: cannot read this disk partition information to see if that solves the problem.

• Cannot expand the data store after you have developed the LUN size

  Greetings:

  I have an interesting problem that happens with my server ESXi.  I've expaneded a 1 logical unit number. 5 t 3 t, re-read the SAN of the host itself (not) yet ESXi always reports the LUN size as 1. 5 t and not extensible.

  SAN is an EMC VNX and Unisphere, in fact, reports the size of the LUN 3 t.  The VMFS on this logical unit number is at version 5.54.

  I did updates and renumerisations a single host and nothing does change regarding the size of the LUN as reported in VMware.  I can't imagine what is a tissue issue given that the underlying data is always available and functional.

  Does anyone have any suggestions to try this?

  Ron

  You have a RecoverPoint of installation for this logic unit number? I fell right on the same problem as you described and found this article. It worked for me.
