• Good way to delete a data store

  I'm not sure this is the right forumr for my question. If not, can someone please point me to the right one?

  I need to remove two LUNS on a storage (HP LeftHand).

  The lun host 2 warehouses of data used by a 5.5 vSphere cluster composed of 3 5.5 U2 ESXi servers.

  I have to perform the activity during execution of virtual machines and I can not create any problem or performance for VMS running problem.

  So I need to create a checklist as accurate and complete as possible...

  Here's my Checklist:

  • I removed all the VMS since data warehouses
  • I deleted all the files from data warehouses
  • I removed data warehouses from the list of data used by pulsation HA stores
  • I checked that the sacratchconfig. ConfiguredScratchLocation for each node indicates a different datadtore of those that I am giung to remove

  Can I safely remove the files inside the folder .vSphere-HA?
  Should what else you check before removing the data store?

  Is there anything else I should consider?

  For well detach and remove datatores take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004605.

  In fact, there is nothing which will cause problems. If you try to take it apart (or delete) a data store it will work either (if anything accesses the database), or you receive an error/warning message. Once a datatore is disassembled or deleted, you must detach the LUNS for each host, and - after unpresenting a LUN of Lefthand CMC and run a new analysis on the hosts - you can do the cleaning (esxcli storage core detached unit remove d NAA_ID) on the hosts.

• Satellite P100 - cannot delete the data from CD - RW disks

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100.

  According to the user manual it says:
  You cannot delete partially all the data written to a CD - RW

  I thought the idea of using a CD - RW so you could delete everything that you wanted to and use this part of the disc again and again.

  Can someone explain?

  I didn t find this info in the user manual and if you burned a few data on the CD - RW disks, then it should be possible to format this CD - RW by using a tool like Nero Burning ROM third 3rd for example.

  I've done several times using Nero and still managed

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store

• 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.

• Try to delete the data store: error DestroyVmfsDatastore

  Hi all

  I am trying to remove a data store (storage is iSCSI). There is no VM on the data store.

  In v2.5, I must click on remove datastore, she thinks for a few minutes and then remove the data of all servers store.

  In version 4.0, I clicked on delete, and it has only removed from a host. Instead of be connected to 8 hosts than before it was presented as connected to 7 guests.  (it should not be connected to all guests!).

  If I try to remove it from another host, I get an error message:

  "Error while configuring the host: DestroyVmfsDatastore: can't delete partition 1 on lun vmhba32:12:0 '.

  I tried this on two stores different data I needed to delete with identical results. Any ideas?

  Instead of be connected to 8 hosts than before it was presented as connected to 7 guests.

  Have you tried to force a rescan storage adapters?

• 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.

  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.

  I see the barebone specification and seem that your controller is a 'soft' RAID

  Take a look at the configuration of the SATA controller.

  When your drive will be recognized as/dev/sdXX, then you can create your data store.

• Cannot delete sync data, even with the new acct because it will merge the data.

  Attempt to remove my sync data because it is full of dupps and omissions. Deleted my sync account created a new account of diff when I try to use it I thought that it will merge with my old acct data because it's the same PC. I lost 2 days doing a simple sync from my PC with my s4 Galaxy. Countless attempts but still corrupted (missing and duplicate) at both ends.
  Using XP FF 34.0.5 and FF for Galaxy s4. At my wit's end. Please turn off sync or make it work!

• 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).
