• Cannot mount NFS Debian to esxi 5.1 - Please help

  I've tried everything. I'm extremely frustrated on the way this beginner step...

  Idea was the installation, a debian for nfs box and use sharing nfs as a data store in esxi.

  debian installation, Setup nfs-kernel-server

  tried to get through vshpere

  I get the following message is displayed:

  Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateNasDatastore" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi '192.168.1.95' failed.
  192.168.1.97:/esxi has no mounting NFS: the mount request was refused by the NFS server. Verify that the export exists and that the customer is allowed to ride.

  Ive looked everywhere and found very little on this subject... I think that its pretty beginner so no one's going in depth on how to do it step by step... I think that sharing is good and the permissions are good but I don't know how to check via the coast host or client...

  any help would be appreciated... I tried a lot of online how tos with no luck.

  What is the absolute path to /esxi?

  You said above "my root" and I assumed to mean that esxi is a directory directly under /, but is that correct? Looks like maybe not.

  Hello

  you are using IBM AIX PowerHA for your database (active/passive) configuration. then you just install the binaries 'once' on one of the nodes. then coordinate with your operating system administrator to configure the fail the test scenarios.

  for your question. before you start the database, make sure that there are no "orphaned" oracle process using the UNIX grep command:

  $ ps - ef | grep ora

  Kill the oracle of the hanging of the process to release the lock on the database file handle:

  $ kill-9

  I hope this helps.

  Well, your trace file indicates that the above description is innaccurate: you did NOT create an undo tablespace undotbs2, you have created a undotbs2 permanent tablespace.

  You may be able to repair this situation, like this:

  startup nomount

  ALTER system set undo_management = manual scope = spfile;

  immediate stop

  startup

  create undo tablespace undo3 datafile ' / whatever/you.like ' size XXg;

  ALTER system set undo_tablespace is undo3 scope = spfile;.

  ALTER system set undo_management = auto scope is spfile;.

  immediate stop

• Cannot add VMFS datastore to ESXi host

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the CF 1 logical unit number which can be seen as a device through several paths on all 10 hosts in a cluster, but it appear as a data store VMFS on 6 of the hosts. Other LUNS of the same Bay appear correctly on all hosts. 10 guests see the LUN with the same LUN ID and all hosts are identical regarding the version of ESXi (5.0 Update 2), HBA and firmware models.

  On the 4 hosts who can see the device but not the VMFS data store, it seems that he sees the LUN as a snapshot: 'list of snapshot storage vmfs esxcli' translates into:

  4f5e5cbb-a87cd2c6-86e9-d8d385f98034
  Volume name: LUN101_SAS2
  VMFS UUID: 4f5e5cbb-a87cd2c6-86e9-d8d385f98034
  Can mount: true
  Reason of mountability-United Nations:
  Can will: false
  Reason for non-resignaturability: the volume is actively used
  County of measure pending: 1

  The UUID VMFS above matches the UUID VMFS seen on 6 guests who can see the VMFS data store.

  When I try to use 'Add storage', the device appears with a lambel VMFS: LUN101_SAS2(head). I don't know why (head) was added to the label of VMFS. Oscreen n the following signature to keep 'existing' and "Assign a new signature" options are grayed out. The only option is "Disc Format. I need to keep the existing signature because it run virtual machines that have their files .vmx and hard on this LUN.

  Would the fact that I have virtual machines running on this LUN, I cannot choose the option to "keep the existing signature?

  I need to Storage vMotion these virtual machines to a different LUN before I add the VMFS datastore to 4 guests?

  Hey RoscoT;

  Try the following command

  #esxcfg - volume - l

  This should show the volume

  To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

• Creation of snapshot on ESXi 5.1 fails

  Hello

  Im having a problem creating a snapshot on a certain virtual machine on ESXi 5.1. It fails with the error "file is larger than the maximum file size supported". Now, I've read a few KB articles including "1012384"... but I can't yet absolutely determine the cause of the error.

  VM is a file server with several hard drives.

  Disk1 Disk2 of 40 GB, 1, 9 to, Disk3 1, 5 TB, 2 TB Disk4

  Machine including all disks files are on a single data store.

  Data store: VMFS 5,58, Blocksize 1 MB, 7, 81TB, used capacity 5, 45 to, free 2, 36 to

  I read an article that the 2 TB - 512 b is correct for a file in ESXi 5.1 but that a certain amount of space is required for the load of the snapshot. ~ 16 GB for a 2 TB drive. The 4th disc with a 2 TB size would be the problem?

  I've added a screenshot. Sorry, its in German... but basically, he says that a file (filename not specified) is larger than the size max data store (database not specified).

  Thank you

  David

  ... a certain amount of space is required for the load of the snapshot. ~ 16 GB for a 2 TB drive. The 4th disc with a 2 TB size would be the problem?

  It is probably the case. The maximum file size for a hard of snapshot is size provisioned to the virtual disk, more overhead (metadata), which must not exceed 2 048 GB less 512octets with ESXi versions previous ESXi 5.5 (or VMFS3 data warehouses). To create a new snapshot, actually no matter how much you have on the datatore of free space on the disk (this is to you to monitor the free space to avoid the problems of out-of-space disk), ESXi only checks if the maximum possible size is supported on the data store, to allow the snapshot to grow as required.

• Help: Cannot clone a snapshot for a virtual machine that is turned off

  Hi guys

  I am currently using VMWare Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310

  (The latest available at the time of writing)

  I want to create a clone of a snapshot.

  The snapshot is on the two snapshots behind 'You are here' - the current state.

  The computer virtual running windows server 2012.

  The virtual machine is completely turned off.

  (the virtual machine was turned off within the BONE, and no 'Power Off' option is available in the menu 'Power' after the OS is turned off, indicating (as far as I can tell) that the virtual machine is turned off completely)

  However, when you try to create a clone of the snapshot, the dialog box indicates that the virtual machine must be fed first (which I think it is) before making a clone.

  The only option available in the dialog box is "Cancel". (ie - the cloning process cannot continue)

  The attached picture shows the dialog of Clone, indicating the issue - and behind it, the engine power VM off

  (I'm trying to clone the snapshot "Installation")

  In other words, I have a completely powered off power VM (as far as I know), but it is impossible to create a clone of a snapshot, as VMWare seems to think that it is always active, for some unknown reason...

  Am I something wrong / missing something?

  Please advise...

  Thanks in advance

  James

  Welcome to the community,

  the reason is that the virtual machine has been turned on at the time you created the snapshot. What you can do is to clone the virtual disk manually using the command line of vmware-vdiskmanager (using the snapshot required as the source hard) and then create a new virtual machine by using the virtual disk cloned rather than creating a new.

• ESXi 4.1 cannot read storage formatted by ESXi 5.1?

  I'm not sure that this is the case, but I installed a bladecenter hs21 blades with chassis and some fiber chain stores. I then installed esxi 5.1 on the first blade and it works very well.

  However, I can not install a blade that already has say 4.1 on him because he never sees the storage. I then installed a blade and installed esxi 4.1 during this blade the same storage as esxi 5.1 but when I try to add new storage, I get the following error;

  Call "HostDataStoreSystem.QueryVmfsDataStoreCreateOptions" of object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "x.x.x.x" failed.

  There is also an error that says that the storage is empty which is not like the first hs21 he uses as I type this.

  Hey,.

  ESXi5 will create VMFS 5 by default, which cannot be used by ESXi4. It can use VMFS3.

  When creating a data store, you can also choose to create as VMFS3 on an ESXi5 host so well.

• Cannot resize VMFS DataStore in ESXi 5.1

  All,

  I use a network SAN OpenFiler as a VMWare Datastore.  The current size of the data store was 1 TB and I decided to increase the size of the LUN via OpenFiler to 2 TB.  However, this increase in the logic unit number size is not reflected in the VMWare Datastore and I cannot increase (extend) the size of the existing data store.  I seem to be affected by the same problem as described here:

  VMWARE: Cannot expand / increase Datastore VMFS on ESX

  Any ideas on how to increase the size of the data store in ESXi?

  Thank you.

  Then, it might be a problem of presentation. try not represented this LUN from the storage host and re group - present.

  Ensure that the data store is dismounted and detached from everything first.

  Thank you

• Delete a snapshot in ESXi 5 when data store is almost full

  I'm very skiddish on use or deletion of snapshots after a disaster, I had with them last year. So, I thought I would get your recommendation before you continue.

  I have a virtual machine running on the host with about 700 GB of total space on the data store. The virtual machine uses about 500GB and there is only a snapshot of the virtual machine. The virtual machine uses a disc thin provisioned. I received a warning that there is insufficient data on the space store and there are only about 120 GB left. Is it safe to remove the snapshot? Should we double the size of the virtual machine to "consolidate? The last time I did it with multiple snapshots and a lot less space, it's disaster.

  Edit: Here's what's on the data store (for this virtual machine). There is an another VM on the same data store which shows it takes 40 GB of space.

  

  Here's what it says on the storage to Apollo (the virtual computer name) under summary in vSphere:

  

  The basic disk can only 'baloon' upward only by the amount of data in the snapshot, which is 214 GB function provided screenshot and to be on the safe side, you have to assume that he will do. If you need to at least 214 (I'd Go 220) free on the data store for a safe removal-snapshot operation.

  Worse: these 214 GBs are given new, added after the creation of the snap. You the kickoff of the removal process. Basic disk to grow per GB 214. Currently, it consumes 355 GB so it will grow up to 569GB. Only one time all the data of the snap is committed to basic disk, the snapshot will be deleted. This is why you need some 220 GB free and available on the data store to start the removal process.

  Instant deletion on an engine out of VM might help a little, but looks like not as much as you want.

  If you shut down the virtual, pagefile will be deleted which will free up to 4 GB.

  Also if you delete a wink on the virtual machine performance, actually another cliché will be created to store the changes that VM is done during the delete operation. According to the rate of change of data within your VM and the time required for the delete operation, it will take little extra space on the data store as well. This need for extra space can be avoided by removing the snap while the VM is turned off.

  However, in your case the virtual computer power on off won't help

  Bottomline - if you can, find a way to get 220 + GB of free space on your data store before you delete the snapshot. Otherwise, the next option is VM migration to a different data store with storage vMotion (without interruption) and deletion of snapshots there (once again, potentially without interruption). A last - cloning in another data store that involves downtime.

  And you cannot clone to USB.
