• Cannot remove Datastore ESX 3.5

  Hi ESX veterans.

  I am a novice using ESX, and lately I just install ESX on a new Dell server, with 6 x 450 GB configured in a Raid 5 environment. I realized that once the ESX is complete, and VI client infrastructure is installed, there will be a default data store created using all available space with a block size of 1 MB.  In the latest installation of couple on older servers (which worked well), I simply remove the data store and to recreate another large block data store, so I can do a greater volume to install my OS.  But this time, I get this error:

  Configuring the host error: DestroyVmfsDatastore: cannot remove partition 2 on lun vmhba1:0:0

  I tried looked up the forums, but none seemed suggestion a resolution in my case.  (perhaps of persons using a SAN... etc, but the mine are internal HD from the server).  Some said that to do a re-scan, some have said go to maintenance mode, some said re - install all the ESX Server, which I've tried all.  But just can not remove this data store.  Acutally, I have not "mind leaving this one data store, as long as I can create a volume larger than 256 GB it contains.  Can anyone give me any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Hello Wingchan,

  I don't think so that you can delete the partition your ESX Server, which is the more necessary to partition VMFS. You can delete when you have several stored VMFS mounted on your ESX. I'm assuming that the... but not sure.

  However, since you have to change the size of the block. You can try the VMFSKTOOLS command to change the size of the block. Remember that you will lose all the systems of comments that uses this data store. Please move them to the secure location if necessary.

  I put a link here to how to change the size of the block. (not my blog, obtained through Google)

  http://techblog357.blogspot.com/2008/01/ESX-Server-35-general-system-error.html

  To run this command, you must take the ESX Server console.

• Cannot remove table or choose in this one

  Hi all!

  I have the Oracle 11.2.0.2 with immortal but very sick table database.

  Result of the

• Cannot remove dumpfile created volume vmfs - 5.5

  I have a 5.5 with only local storage server I recently upgraded to 5.1.

  A few days ago I had inventoried all my VM folders on the next partition:

  / vmfs/volumes/comments.

  Today, when cleaning latest virtual machines, I find the following:

  /vmfs/volumes/guest/vmkdump/44454C4C-4400-1048-805A-C7C04F4C4631.dumpfile

  I don't know what created this... I understand there dumpfiles that can be created on PSODs, but I can't find any reference to a real folder called "vmkdump."

  When I try to delete it, I get the following:

  / vmfs/volumes/524f80a6-f18c10c7-2 c 16-001e4f204bc4/vmkdump # rm - rf 44454C4C-4400-1048-805 a - C7C04F4C4631.dumpfile

  RM: cannot remove ' 44454C4C-4400-1048-805 a - C7C04F4C4631.dumpfile': device or resource busy

  I looked at various KBs and I can't understand it:

  If the NIC information above seem to be a loophole... and the owner of the directory in question seems to be simply the volume itself (?)

  I'm worried because not only I want to remove this file from my store of data (or at least understand the need for it), but because of the small cryptic information that I can see so far I don't think that sounds a coredump is / was being created.

  To the best of my knowledge, this system has no other problems, it starts very well and apart from some other errors not apparent, miners, I saw in newspapers, I know not what could be the cause.

  Advice is very welcome as to what is happening!

  Yes NightWing... the coredump file is 5.5

  Size of the system increases lead to larger ESXi unannounced dumps core. The partition of coredump for new installations of ESXi 5.5 is 2.5 GB. For upgrades from previous versions of ESXi 5.5, the core dump partition is limited to 100 MB for ESXi crashes. For many large systems, this limit is not enough space and dump logs are truncated. The limit has an impact on the ability of triage ESXi system issues and the core.

  Updates with limits on partitions of 100 MB, during the boot process, the system might create a dump file. If it does not create a dump file, you can create it manually with the command of file coredump esxcli system.

  The partition which added isn't the vmfs partition, but since the partition created during installation esxi coredump.

  No, you can not have created /vmkdump if you do not have a coredump in vmfs.

  If you think, that your esxi broke down somewhere, look at/var/core... If any coredump is, your Inbox may have thrown some time, otherwise you're good to go.

  In addition, in the case of vmfs partition coredump configured, once you have deleted the file, a new file will be in place if and only if your box has panicked and dumped core.

• I/o control of storage - "connected to one or more hosts pre-4.1 version...".  No, I'm not.

  Subject says it all.  When I click on the control of i/o Storage box, I get the message '< name of the data store > data store is connected to one or more hosts pre-version 4.1 that do not control of storage i/o support.  This is false.  There are only two servers connected, and they are the two 5.0 with the latest patch.  What gives?

  Apparently, it's a matter of having the correct license on you host.

  One company more SIOC support so if any host without it is connected to the data store, you will get the error.

  After thinking that out, it was to allow only on data warehouses that are connected to the Ent host exclusevly + and it worked without any errors.

  The one with my installation/ISO-files must have this option disabled because it is shared with the hosts having licences below.

  Of course, I pulled my hair on the error and started watching the bad VMs now outdated information for VirtualCenter until I found this blog:
