  Hello!

  I have a problem.

  Every day I see error for one of my servers in "reports":

• 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.

  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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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).

• 0 blocks free PTR - cannot create new files on the data store

  We have been experiencing problems trying to power on virtual machines. When attempting to power on virtual machines, we see the error "cannot extend the pagefile from 0 KB to 2097152 KB".

  We checked the .vswp file are created in the folder of the Virtual Machine on the data store. Connection to the ESXi host, we have seen the following in vmkernel.log error message:

• 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

• ORA-01124: cannot retrieve the data file 1 - file is in use or recovery

  I'm trying to recover the database in waiting, but it gives the error below.
  
  ORA-00283: cool cancelled due to errors
  ORA-01124: cannot retrieve the data file 1 - file is in use or recovery, the recovery is already said
  ORA-01110: data file 1: ' I:\ORACLE\QAS\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_1\SYSTEM. DATA1'
  
  When I checked in the alert log recovery is not started. and later I hae given ' alter database recover Cancel "and the command to meet with the threshold.
  
  "media recovery has not started.
  
  It seems that the recovery was stuck between the two.
  Please advise me how to kill the recovery session that is stuck. because I don't want to bounce the database pending.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Dataguard and MRP, you run a script before.

  In a standby scripted, a session to RETRIEVE the DATABASE would an UNTIL clause (SEQUENCE up to THAT most likely). At the end of the recovery at this point (SEQUENCE #), he left and stop at the database.

  In addition, the script is such that when a RECOVERY session is active, another session is not authorized to start. It can loop in pending state or go out and do it again the next scheduled interval.

  Apparently your startup script is not strong enough to prevent another session of RECOVERY to start even though the first is active (or it doesn't have a good up to THAT clause and stop, exit, closing stocks)

  What you have is a custom implementation of a database of pending. Without all the details of the script, the 'blocking' between sessions (to avoid a second RECOVER start when one is already running) etc... We can't really do much to help you.
  Your scripts must be standing with status information. It should be possible for you to discover the 'other' sqlplus session which emanates a DATABASE to RECOVER, but not yet out (p. ex... How about a simple "ps - ef |") grep sql' and ' ps - ef | combination of grep ora"?)

• What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

  Hi all

  This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

  I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

  Thank you all

  Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

• Different VM 1 with 3 vmdk in the data store: Migration of data to rename store

  Hello

  I'm here today to ask for your help please.

  In our Organization, we have 1 large VM

  1 vmdk = > The BONES in lun, SAS performance

  1 vmdka = > 1 Tera SATA MON only of DATA

  Another 1 vmdka = > 1 Tera SATA MON only of DATA

  This virtual machine is being tested and we need to rename it to the name of the production.

  When you rename in vcenter you do a data store migration to correct all files with the new name.

  In this case, how can we specify each VMDK to go to the data store specified during migration?

  Because we could all think in the same data store due to the limitation of 2Tera by a data store

  Thanks for your help

  When you "migrate" a virtual machine and choose 'Change Datastore' use the advanced option. This will allow you to specify multiple destinations of data store. Use the drop-down arrow in the current [location].

• install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server

  Hello

  I want to install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server.

  My problem is that I can't make partitions to really separate them and I would reinstall esxi without wiping the data store.

  Y at - it another way to put a record out of the raid only to install esxi.

  I also do not install on a USB key.

  Thank you

  AZEL,

  Can you give us more details about your current environment?  What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?

  My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store.  Is this correct?

• Comparing the use of the data store for the use of the disk on the server virtual computer: Match is not

  I'm a bit confused and could use clarification of a person.

  I'm looking to a virtual machine through the vSphere Client and it has an alert telling me that my free space data store is low. 17.55 free GB of 134,75 GB total capacity. I'm running ESX 4.0 for the host and my VM running Server 2008.

  I'm confused because when I connect to the virtual computer and check the use of disk in my computer, it does not reflect what vSphere tells me. This particlular VM is little used and the use of the disk under windows is very very low. About 20 GB.

  Can someone tell me why these numbers are not matching? I have other virtual machines that are in the same situation.

  Thank you

  Blake

  I think that you may be mixing two things up, the vSphere client will only warn about the data store, the VMFS volume, you have created and presented to ESX. You then create a VMDK file for your Virtual Machine to use. If you assign more than 80% of your data store to a VMDK or several VMDK then the customer will report a warning on its use. WARNING 80% 90% critical even if inside each VMDK file you may be using only a couple of GB.

  If you give a little more detail on the virtual machine and the data store, we should be able to get out.

  Hope this helps,

  Dan
