  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

  Yes, you will be able to vmotion between 3.5 and 4.0

  Just leave your comment "out of date" tools until all ESX versions are on their final construction, then upgrade the comment tools and virtual hardware

• vMotion between hosts 4 ESXi and ESXi 5

  I have a group of ESXi 4.x hosts connected to a vCenter Server 4.1.  I have an another 5.1 vCenter Server Management 5.1 hosts.  I want to move my hosts ESXi 4.1 in my 5.1 vCenter Server and upgrade to 5.1.

  Since vCenter 5.1 can manage ESXi 4.x and 5.1 hosts in the same cluster (KB VMware: upgrading vCenter Server 5.1 recommended)

  Could I add my 4.x hosts to vCenter 5.1 and put them in maintenance mode one by one and then upgrade?  I'd be able to vmotion the VMs between my 4.x and ESXi hosts 5.1?

  The goal is to reduce or hopefully elimate downtime for virtual machines.

  Thank you!

  You can get the upgrade with no interruption of service, if you can:

  (a) connect the storage 4.1 hosts FC 5.1 guests, so it is shared by all hosts

  or

  (b) your license allows you to storage vMotion the VMS to storage of 5.1 hosts

  The normal steps would be:

  -Disconnect the 4.1 hosts the vCenter 4.1

  -Connect the 5.1 vCenter

  -connect storage 4.1 for the 5.1 hosts or Storage vMotion the VMs on

  -vMotion the VMs to 5.1 hosts

  -upgrade the 4.1 hosts

• EMC Celerra VSA and SRA 4.0.22 - discoverLuns fails

  Hello

  When configuring for a SRM lab environment, I encountered an error when the command that is part of the Configuration of the Manager of the range "discoverLuns".

  Software: vSphere 4.1, VMware srm - 4.1.0 - 267817, EMC_Celerra_Replicator_SRA_v4.0.22, Celerra VSA running DART 6.0.36 - 4 (the latest version of EMC Powerlink)

  Two Celerra work very well. They are configured for replication. The ESXi can see the Celerra iSCSI LUNS.

  Array Manager Software (SRA) is installed.

  Two SRM servers are configured and that they can see each other. (Connection established).

  If I want to configure "Picture frames", I click on Add and the wizard like to know some details. After you click on 'Connect' MRS detects the Celerra. After you select the Celerra and clicked OK, SRM trying to find LUN being replicated on the table. This is the step that fails with the error message: error while executing command 'discoverLuns '.

  The SRA writes a log file, which shows the XML Code for the discoverLuns command and the commands sent to the celerra:

  The blue line indicates the error. It seems that the SRA has an error in the analysis of the response of the previously executed command ' / nas/bin/nas_replicate. Also, it seems that only the Celerra ID from the remote Celerra (recovery site) is missing. In my case the remote ID of table must be 'BB005056AD73620000-server_2' instead of '-server_2.

  Unfortunately I can't change the Code of the Java byte (the SRA is written in Java, the 'command.pl' Perl is used to start the java program with entry XML).

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Your problem has been solved?

  I have installation just my SRM laboratory, using the same version of the SRA.

  Initially, I had the same problem but only because I changed my name default data mover "server_2" to "vsa01-server_2.

  The problem disappeared after changing the name to server_2.

  I searched EMC powerlink and found that a problem with the old version SRA about interconect name cannot contain "_".

  Your newspaper, the interconnect name is 'dr_to_pr '.

  You might want to try to change it to "dr to pr'.»

• Storage vmotion, between data warehouses when the block size is different

  Hi all

  I would like to know, is it possible to do a vmotion of storage between two data warehouses, when they have different block sizes. The case is as a former vmfs data store 3 which has been upgraded direct to vmfs5 there, but since it has been updated it maintains its own block size. While the newly created vmfs datastore 5 a block size of 1 MB.

  Thus, storage Vmotion will work in this case? It will fail OR will be with degraded performance?

  Finally, storage vmotion is possible even if you do not have a cluster DRS for storage?

  Thank you

  Yes you can!

  Check some info on the effects of block size: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/02/18/blocksize-impact/

• vMotion between ESX 4.0 and ESX 3.5 hosts

  We are planning our ESX 3.5 to ESX 4.0 infrastructure upgrade.  I understand you can vmotion VM guests from 3.5 to 4.0 hosts, however you can migrate 4.0 3.5 guest hosts.  Before you try I know that we have to vCenter Server 4.0.

  Yes, vmotion is allowed between the two versions.

  Just don't upgrade the comment tools and virtual hardware until you get all of your ESX hosts on 4.0

  Good luck!

• Unable to connect to use Windows XP mode on a Virtual Machine, cannot share files between the Virtual Machine and host

  Because of the need to run some XP programs, I ordered Win7 Pro and installed a Virtual Machine with XP Mode.

  Managed to get it going somehow, but does not connect to my home network (can't see any other computers, which seems to be common with the host of Win 7, but here, I managed to install quick links to other computers - they will not work in XP Mode), even if the Internet connection is working perfectly.

  In addition, I can't find a way to share files with the host country, drive C appears to be different from that of the hosts with no common points (where it is currently stored beats me).

  I can access a USB key, but only at a price to make it unavailable to the host and the attempt to release his capture when running XP Mode failed.

  Finally a resolution...

  I tried running an ePrint of New York telephone, and it worked, but still no luck wirelessly from the PC printing.

  He said that the WiFi was indeed working.  So, I did a search for new firmware and found that there was one in April of this year (2016).  Downloaded and took a chance on install.  To my amazement, it is actually installed on the printer without any connection "connected".  Who told me that there is an existing wireless link.

  Once the install is complete firmware, I tried to print a worksheet Excel from the PC, and it actually printed!  I have to assume there was something in the formware upgrade which allowed the router from LinkSys (WRT1900AC) to communicate fully and to work with the PC.  The router was published in 2014, so maybe it was.

  In any event, everything is in fully working again.

  Man y thanks to all who have shared their data entry.  I hope this could help someone with a similar problem in the future.

  Thanks again!

• You can VMotion between host ESXi 4 and ESXi 4 Update 1?

  I have a node 2 VMotion, HA cluster. Identical machines running ESXi 4. I want to use the patch to update 1 update. If I VMotion then update all my virtual machines on a host, the other on its own will I be able to VMotion virtual machines on the host being updated from the host not yet updated? Then update the second host.

  Thank you.

  There is no problem doing exactly what you describe - it is supported.

• Celerra + SRM and Replication manager

  Hi do anyone knows if its possible to integrate EMC replication manager a Celerra ISCSI / MRS. configuration?

  Replication Manager / SE, I read integrates with Virtual Center, puts the virtual machines in snapshot mode (kind of like the fact of vcb) and then starts the replication to ensure that everything is in order, I also thought with the module for VMware tools with 3.5 update 2 part tools VSS should quiese SQL and make sure that its happy before the virtual machine put in snapshot mode.

  I know with my current Celerra/SRM talks SRM server through the matrix of configuration manager and I expect actually has nothing to do with the real task of replication in celerra manager, im thinking it should be possible to use RM to kickoff between the Celerra replication and still have happy and work SRM.

  I'm way off here?...  If someone knows the answer to this... Please let me know... It would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I write this as an EMC employee

  «Replication Manager / SE, I read integrates with Virtual Center, puts the virtual machines in snapshot mode (a kind of like vcb) then launches the replication to ensure that everything is in order, I also thought with the VMware tools with 3.5 module update 2 part tools VSS should quiese SQL and make sure that its happy before the virtual machine put in snapshot mode.»

  That's right – Replication Manager is able to do two things - integration with VMware Virtual Center to snapshots by car from Virtual Machines residing in a VMFS volume built on iSCSI.

  Following the call in Virtual Center agent proxy Manager VMFS Replication called Celerra to take the local snapshot. This snapshot can then be mounted to another ESX for backup (if this ESX host is running version ESX console with a backup agent installed in this console - backups for flat file VMDK) or simply to allow the machine virtual administrator to navigate in the data store is presented as a wink on the recovery of ESX host to activate the Virtual Machine defined in full file recovery. The vocation of VMware SnapShot Manager provides a consistent point machine to return where the virtual machine recovery fails

  Replication Manager can create replicas consistent application for such Applications a SQL and Oracle if these scores of applications based on VMFS volumes rather than posing as Raw Device Mappings. The caveat with this is that the volume presented to the Virtual Machine in question must be devoted to this Virtual Machine and a single VMDK file can be built on the VMFS volume) so you would need a volume for your logs, your database, etc. We call this use of replicas of "Virtual disk" case - confused I know

  So two use cases

  VMFS machine restoration for a set of Virtual Machines and integrated individual application VMFS volume consistent replicas for specific virtual machines with their scores of applications built on individually provisioned VMFS volumes

  I don't know why you want to use Replication Manager kickoff the SRM associated Celerra replication. the SRM model is basically continuous replication - i.e. an algorithm runs to determine to what extent the site of DR comes from the primary and push any data the differences across the wire. The bandwidth used for this can be strangled and demand

  Replication Manager leads Celerra replication tends to be regular and non-continuous

  With regard to your query on the integration of Replication Manager and SRM. I prefer to think to Replication manager and SRM for the moment be tolerant to each other. Replication Manager solutions I have just described are focused on the side backup and restoration of the entire equation of continuity of business and focused around that at the local level, so that the RS is more oriented toward the recovery room disaster

  I don't see that going forward, there will be more integration and I hope that Replication Manager may in the future serve to ensure consistency of the request as a level of additional service in the comprehensive proposal of SRM

• Storage vmotion RDM

  I tried to storage servers vmotioned 3 which contained a RDM. The RDM were in virtual compatibility mode. I've migrated 2 servers that have been turned off and all was fine until I tried the 3rd server which was powered and it reported an error saying that the block size was too small for the size of the disk.

  I thought that when a server with RDM was vmotioned storage only the file pointer was actually moved and the RDM remained in its orgional State. It seems that the 2 servers I have storage vmotioned now have virtual disks and the RDM were loosened. I've not turned the servers still to see if the data is still there as I don't know what the status of the servers were before the storage vmotion as they have been turned off. The vcenter is 4.1 build 258902 and the esx servers are 4.1.0,260247.

  Dr

  When you storage vmotion RDM it converts it to a virtual drive and when he tries the vmfs block size is smaller that the actual ROW (must be more than 256 GB) then you get this error. the data contained in the ROW will be always available. Why not start it because it won't hurt

• Change of name of the files in Directory/VM after Storage vMotion

  I had a few vMotions storage for virtual machines that left the directory in the source data store (which I didn't). Then I had to move them back to the original data store and the directory and files have been renamed to VM_1... What is the safest way to get these files renamed to its original name? One of the virtual machines in a domain controller too.

  Thank you

  Scott

  You can sVmotion once again, and who must fix.  Assuming that the VMS in vCenter has the correct name, just make the Storage vMotion for a new DS and that should solve.

• Storage vMotion GUI in the roadmap - individual placement of discs?

  I use storage vMotion the remote CLI much and I use almost exclusively the function to simply move some disks and leave some wherever they are. I saw the video demo of the user interface provided and it seemed to make a gesture of any disk group, just like the non-Plug-in support for Virtual Center did. Does anyone have knowledge of defining targett if different volumes of individual disk in the new GUI?

  Yes, click on the Advanced button. Then you can choose the target for each disc.
