Cannot delete entry local old ESX host storage

HY all!

We changed one of our esx hosts (say name = ESX - A1) with a more recent material, the server also called ESX - A1.

These where the steps...

1.) former host in maintenance mode

2.) deleted from our cluster HA.

former host stop 3.)

4. change material)

5.) poweron new host with same name ESX - A1

Everithing was very good, except for one...

I still can't see the local storage of old ESX - A1 in the inventory of data store and the option 'delete' is unavailable (dimmed).

Thanks for any help!

Best regards

Peter

  • 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!

  • Two vCenters and mobile from one to another ESX host

    I have an existing vSphere environment where all virtual machines on the local drive. This environment is managed by a physical vCenter Server.

    I've built a WHOLE new environment with three hosts and each has 4 Sockets, 6 hearts with 128 GB of each host. I also created a new vCenter Server and it is a virtual machine. All are connected to the iSCSI SAN.

    I know that the ESX hosts can be managed by a vCenter server at a time. Now, I want to add old esx hosts that have virtual machines on a local drive to the new environment that is connected to a shared storage. When I try to add a host on the new vcenter server, I get a message saying that the host is already managed by the old server vcenter and if I add it to the news that it disconnects. Which is the best way to do it, or should I disconnect hosts from the old server vcenter first?

    Also how I will move the virtual machines on the local disk to the San. I have company over 4.1.

    Thank you!

    I unplug and remove the host from the old environment and then add the host in the new.  This will allow your guests to continue to operate.  Once you have hosts in the new environment, you can use sVMotion (right click to migrate, move the datastore) to move your guests to a shared storage.

  • esx host does support RAID ATA?

    hardware requirements host ESX said, "RAID adapters supported are HP Smart Array, Dell's Perc and IBM ServeRAID controllers"

    Does include ATA RAID? If it supports RAID ATA, I use 2 disks or more to in my local machine to an ATA RAID supported by esx host storage. It work?

    Thank you.

    It does not support ATA controllers I know.

  • Displacement of the unit number logic from one ESX host to another

    I am a newbies VI3. Are there opportunities to move a unit logic of an ESX host number to another?

    I can't find any guide. Help, please.

    Thank you.

    You don't need to remove the LUN from the host of the first.

    It is enough to present the second ESX host storage, don't know how you do it for the EMC storage.

    If you have virtual center then you just select the host, go to Setup and select storage adapters and then rescan the HBAs. This storage should appear.

    If you do not have virtual Center, then you should be able to do it from the host.

    The main thing to make sure, it is that you present the LUN with the same ID for all guests.

    If you really need to delete a logical unit number not used, check that no virtual machines are using, use the management of storage to anyone there and then rescan the HBAs as above.

  • Cannot use local shared with replica storage of SSD

    So I had my environment from view for a while and everything works fine, but I have a question on how discovers works with the local replica SSD disks.  I read in the forums and in the document architecture and design if you use a local SSD to store your replicas (that will give you a performance gain), you cannot have your host in a cluster, thus renouncing HA and all the features that come with in a cluster of ESXi.

    However, I meet me a further restriction that I couldn't find any mention of in the forums or documentation, namely that you cannot store the clones in a shared storage if you have a replica on the local disk.  Whenever I got to the stage of commissioning and selected a FC LUN shared as the storage for the linked clones container, the pool would tell me that there not available and there no validation.  However, if I create a LUN that ONLY the host which I use to store the replica on the SSD has access to, then the commissioning is fine.  So my question is this: Why can't place clones related on the shared with a local replica disk storage?  I understand that I will not be able to use the features of the HA, but I would rather just a LUN shared for all clones related to the ease of administration (instead of having to create one for each host).  If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or explain to me why this is the case, it would be great.

    OK, I found the documentation indicating that "If clone related data warehouses are shared, the replica data store must be shared. Replicas can reside on a store of local data only if you configure clones all connected on warehouses of local data on the same ESX host. "Who is on page 14 of the document storage considerations see here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view_storage_considerations.pdf. However, it does not explain why this is, he said only that it is so.

    So as a result of this requirement, it is logical that linked clones on a present at a single ESXi host LUN would support, but without link clones on a LUN present at multiple ESXi hosts.

  • Cannot add an NFS share on my ESX host.

    When I try to map an NFS share to my ESX host, I get the following error message:

    You have configured the Windows NFS share like that?

    With the esxcli command, below, I could mount the part mentioned above without any problems. Note that I put the root access bit allow under the Advanced NFS share permissions. Who can solve your problem if you have not activated it.

  • cannot remove vMA ESX hosts

    I added a few guests of the vMA and activate the newspaper collection.  It collects logs for the hosts with success.  I don't want to follow these with the vMA hosts more because they are in a remote location and that it would implement a vMA at the remote location.  I use the sudo vifp removeserver servername command to remove the ESX host and they are eliminated as appropriate.  I run the vifp order mailing lists and they appear more more.  The thing is that the newspaper collection is still happening against the machines on the vMA.  I'll look in the directory/var/log/vmware and the directory for the ESX host, I deleted is still there.  I removed the directory and they immediately come with newspapers.  I'm going to rerun the command to remove the host and he says that they are already removed.

    How get rid you of the machines out of the vMA?

    You must use vilogger to disable the first control, and then remove the targets of vMA. Looks like vilogger works regardless of what VMAs think its management.

    If you have removed the targets of MAS... should not be able to connect to your targets from a distance. Are you sure that the log data is always transferred or is it simply a directory being created?

    There is a local credstore that is stored in the home directory of vi-admin /home/vi-admin/.vmware/credstore, perhaps you may need to disable it (make a backup first and move or rename)

  • New ESX host cannot see SAN fiber - Clariion

    Hello

    I spent about two hours, passing through communities and have tried various things without success... basically, I have a new ESX host that I've built, configured, and networked, but I can't see our existing SAN.

    The SAN is a Clariion CX3 - 10 c and it hosts all of our existing VMs (we currently have two hosts attached to the SAN)

    I have installed the CLI and Navisphere agent on the new host

    I have started to host and that you have ENABLED the two adapters Emulex HBA (host contains two HBAs installed) because they showed as disabled by default BIOS

    I have one of the HBAs connected to the fibre switch

    On the fibre switch, I have a flickering green light where I plugged the fiber cable, which makes me think, it is connected OK

    On the HBA, I have a green light and an orange light blink, which still makes me think the wiring is correct

    BUT I do not see the front Navisphere host, and the host cannot see all storage even after re-reading.

    Any ideas what to try next? I suspect that it is perhaps something to do with zoning - I must say the Emulex HBA how to find storage processors? If so, how can I go about it? From the BIOS by restarting the host and pressing ALT - E?

    Any help or advice appreciated...

  • Windows 7 - cannot delete Windows.old

    Windows 7 has created a Windows.old folder using Windows Easy Transfer and a massive file that was supposed to pass, among other things, e-mail data and accounts.  Windows 7 has none of them.  But now it throws an error telling me that I must be the administrator to delete.

    I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR.

    I did the thing to click left and changed security on the file which saw the problem.  I am sure that administrator had full possession on the file.

    I do not understand why a deletion should take five minutes, but I delete Windows.old again.  This time, Windows 7 threw an error telling me that I had to be the SYSTEM to remove it.  Even if I did not I a user of the SYSTEM, I added permission for SYSTEM to own the file and delete it.  Still no change cannot delete the file.

    Cannot delete the file, cannot move the file outlook.pst Windows Easy Transfer failed that there is not enough room.  Cannot move that the outlook.pst file impossible to configure Outlook to get my emails.

    Why Windows 7 has so many flaws?  It's like a child designed, programmed and it was approved for distribution.

    I'm off to find a third-party tool to remove the file, unless someone has a practical suggestion.  No speculation please.  No Microsoft Apologetics please.   I have been the problems of Windows 7 for more than a week.

    Not sure, but have you tried it - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/How-do-I-remove-the-Windows-old-folder (I must admit, sort of a sorry official - guess)

  • b/w esx hosts VMotion using CF Storage share.

    Hi, I wanted to know the esx communicate anything to the storage when its doing a vmotion. Lets say I make a vmotion between 2 esxi hosts share the same storage. I have a private just vnic to vmotion and a separate management and logging FT.  My vmkernel default gateway is the management of vnic. I do all the fiber channel for the shared storage.

    Once a vmotion over, the new esx host must tell the storage that the vm now lives on me. If storage is all CF, how do?

    Yes, locks are on the VMFS file system, so the connection of storage is used.
