Change the name of a data store?
Hello
Is it possible to change the display name of a data store NFS I have 8 nodes in a cluster connected to? This is for aesthetic reasons only - consistency of the naming convention. Just curious, if I renamed the store of data for data store in vSphere VCenter, did change the display name for each host? Or I have to change the display name to each host using the "hosts and Clusters". Just curious to know if I can do that, while virtual machines are run with no negative effect... or should I stop literally all of the virtual machines to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Hello
You can change the name of data warehouses (NFS, iSCSI, FC etc.) at any time and without any negative effects.
Just right click, rename it to your heart's content!
See you soon,.

You can change the name of a data store that has active VM on it?
We have a number of logical units shared through our table CX700 SAN ESX4. Each lun has a unique about this data store. In vCenter, if I rename one of the data stores that have active virtual machines on it, it will break anything?

Hello.
You can rename them at any time. These names are 'friendly names' only.
Good luck!

How to change the vmdk in another data store
for my vm four disks are there I want to increase disk capacity but there is no space on the data store
Hello
Solution is that you must change the drive to another data store and increase space.
First findout in spatial data store is avaialble.
Select the virtual machine and migration - migration datastore - Advanced - click the drive on which you want to increase space - browse - choose data store where space is available - finishing
After migration - more space.

Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?
I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter. The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.
I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store. Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere. We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.
The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added. Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store. I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added. All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.
Is it reasonably simple way to do this? It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.
Thank you
You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.
To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this
$newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync

Change the name of files and folders in data warehouses
Is it safe while a virtual machine is running to change the name of the VMDK files and folders in a data store?
I discovered that a VMS VMDK files have a different name for the virtual machine itself, then someone changed the name of the virtual machine after you have created the records
I had to do it a few times, will try to document the process that I follow. If you have many warehouses of data, then make a note of what data store, the machine is in. The next step is to unregister the virtual machine from vCenter / ESXi
Then, you need to enable SSH on your ESXi host
Use Putty or something similar for you connect to the ESXi host
Run the following commands (in italics)
cd vmfs/volumes /
Then run ls to verify that the virtual machine file is here
Rename the folder by using mv
Change to the folder with cd
Rename the nvram, vmsd, vmx and
running again is to say the mv MV oldname.nvram newname.nvram
MV oldname.vmsd newname.vmsd
MV oldname.vmx newname.vmx
MV 1234.hlog - oldname newname - 1234.hlog
Rename the vmdk with vmkfstools EI oldname.vmdk newname.vmdk
Edit the vmx with vi newname.vmx
Replace references to oldname to newname in this file
Register the virtual machine with the ESXi server and it should be OK

SUMIFS (data: $C, data: $B, $A2, given: $A, "> =" & B$ 1, data: $A, "<" & (EOMONTH(A1,0) will GET ($1.0 B) + 1))
It's the formula that I used until I changed the names of "data Plan". The original names were:
A1
A6
A12
B1
B6
etc...
I changed the plan of names... I want to start all over again... The original formula still works?
The original formula should still work as long as the new plan names are spelled the same in both tables.

Change the format of a date field to be used in a file name.
Good afternoon!
I use Livecycle ES3 and Adobe Professional XI
I have a form in livecycle for employee evaluations.
I'm saving a file based on domain names. My problem is when I use a date in my file name field. I have the scripts to work for the confidence function and the button on the form field. They are listed below.
Script folder level-
mySaveAs = app.trustPropagatorFunction (function (doc, path)
{
app.beginPriv ();
doc.saveAs (path);
app.endPriv ();
});myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc = app.trustedFunction (function (doc, file_path)
{
Privileged and non-privileged code above
app.beginPriv ();
mySaveAs (doc, file_path);
app.endPriv ();
});Button script
() myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc
this, "/ c/myfiles / ' + ReviewPeriodTo.rawValue + '-' + Div.rawValue + '-' + EVALTTYPE.rawValue + '-' + LASTNAME.rawValue + '-' + FIRSTNAME.rawValue +
".pdf");
My problem is the ReviewPeriodTo.rawValue. When I enter data in the form and that you do not enter a value for the ReviewPeriodTo field, the file is saved with the values of other fields, and a null value is inserted where the field would go to date.
When I type a value such as 2014-03-15 in the area of the ReviewPeriodTo and values in other areas, it works.
When I try to insert a value in as the 15/03/2014 in the area of the ReviewPeriodTo, I get the following error.
RaiseError: The file may be read-only or another user can open. Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder.
Doc.saveAs:16:XFA:form1 [0]: page 1 [0]: #subform [0]: Button3 [0]: mouseUp
= > The file may be read-only or another user may be subject to open. Please save the document under a different name or in a different folder.
My problem is, it's part of a much larger process when I import information from a make table query MS Access which is exported to Excel. If I could just format field data automatically to formation of yyyy-mm-dd since t, that would work, but I don't know how to do coding in MS Access.
Question: How can I format the data which are entered on the form to be the yyyy-mm-dd format?
I tried to change the display format and data through models livecycle for the field, but it does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Hello
It sounds like you need to specify all the formats users can enter the date in the editing modes. If it matches one of the formats then the rawValue will be automatically formatted to yyyy-mm-dd format.
This means that if the formattedValue is equal to the rawValue then the date does not match one of the edition models so you will need display an error message.

Renaming of files in virtual machine using Cold Storage Migration
Virtual machine files can be renamed on the fly when cold Migration is initiated from the vSphere Client, only documents of the virtual machine are renowned.
To rename the files:
Log on to the VMware vSphere Client.
Locate the virtual machine in your inventory to the host.
Right-click the virtual machine, and then click Rename.
Change the name of the virtual machine as required.
Perform a cold migration to a new virtual machine data store.
For more information, see:
For ESXi/ESX 4.x, see Migration cold in the Guide of Administration of vSphere Datacenter.
For ESXi/ESX 3.5, see Migration cold in basic management Guide.
When the migration is complete, the files of the virtual machine, the name of the virtual machine configured in step 4.
Note: If a virtual directory already exists on the data store with the same name, then the virtual target machine is placed in a new directory with annexed _1.

Script to change the name of the file to the virtual machine and its associated files
Hello
I'm looking for a script to change the name of the virtual machine in virtual center and also change it has associated file names in the data store to match file name of virtual machine. But the vmdk file will contain a descriptor which maps the - flat.vmdk file. So not sure that we can achieve this through a script.
Thanks in advance!
Not really as much as I know.
The advantage of the svMotion is renamed it the files (.) VMX, VMDK,...) For you.
The only alternative would be the command line. See Duncan Howto: renaming a virtual computer.
With the help of the plink.exe tool which could possibly be scripted.

How can I change the name of the ion HD my Time Capsule airport
My time capsule airport has changed its name to data and now I can't use it. What can I do?
Not sure why you can't use 'Data' as the name of the disk hard Time Capsule, since it is the default value.
But, if you want to change the name of 'Data' to something else...
Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)
Click on the image of the time Capsule
Click on edit in the window that appears
Click the disks at the top of the next window
Next to Partitions, you will see "Data".
Click directly on the name of 'Data' and the box will change to allow you to edit the name, just as you can change the name of any other player
In the example below, I changed the name of the drive 'safeguards '.
Click Update at the bottom right of the window to save the changes you have made

Change the name of the server for the Regional service account
Is there a way to change the name of the server for an EAS account without having to delete the account and add it again? If this isn't the case, Palm, please put in this capacity.
Thank you.
Hello!
The reason this not prevail as a fail-safe in the EAS Protocol feature. From a point of view of corporate security, companies do not want the chance to sensitive business data being extract/put in one or more different servers that could very well not be themselves. Any device using EAS must remove the Acct. and add a new. Need help with data migrations that isn't the new server.

I'm editing a program that has an XY graph on the front panel. It has 5 slots. When I started working on this, he had the first 3 parcels shown in the legend of the plot. I added a second scale of Y and 2 last visible plots in the legend. I then change the names of the last two of parcel 3, draw 4 to something meaningful and yield parcel 2 and draw 4 on the second scale Y. When I run the VI the names of the 3 & 4 back to draw the 3.4 and plot 4 returns to the first scale of Y. I tried this programmatically, with assign track active etc but I can only change the attributes of the first three plots. What is happening with this?
I omitted one detail in the first assignment. The table gets its data from a subvi, which was created using "create a subvi. The data is passed to the chart via the property node. I destroyed the reference control refnum and the property node. Then I changed the field names and assignments of the axis and then recreated the reference control refnum and the property node. All right.
