• remove the Cluster data store data store

  I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Question about the creation of cluster data store

  I'm running vSphere 5.1 and want to enable storage Drs before as I have create the cluster data store, I was reading through VMware vSphere 5.1, but don't see any confirmation when I add data to the cluster storage, the virtual machines using these storage of data is not affected.

  Can anyone confirm that the addition of a data to a data cluster store store has no impact on virtual machines running?

  Thank you.

  You can add and remove data warehouses in a cluster of data with VMS running store.

• Bay of Cluster data store turns into a string?

  I am very new to the vCO (or maybe I should call vRO now) and therefor also very new to script and digging through the API, so I apologize if this is a bit of a noob question.

  I'm currently running below script to find the data store cluster to a cluster host with more available space.

  However, I also want to check for the text in the name of the data store. For this I use indexOf.

  If indexOf detects all matches, it should add the DSC (or pod) in a table.

  But it seems that this operation turns my array into a string.

  Because it is a new environment I have only a DSC connected to the cluster hosts, but I still think that it should be able to be an array with a single value?

  Find the Cluster and related variables

  var hostarray = System.getModule ("com.vmware.library.vc.cluster") .getAllHostSystemsOfCluster (inCluster);

  Host = hostarray [0];

  pool = inCluster. ResourcePool;

  level of var = 'High';

  Find warehouses of data in Cluster

  var = host.datastore data warehouses;

  Find Clusters of Cluster data store

  var storagePods = new Array();

  var storagePodNames = new Array();

  for (d in data warehouses) {

  if (data [d].parent.vimType warehouses is "StoragePod") {

  if (storagePodNames.indexOf (datastores [d].parent.name) < = - 1). {

  storagePodNames.push (datastores [d].parent.name);

  storagePods.push (datastores [d] .parent);

  }

  }

  }

  System.log (' storagePods: ' + storagePods [0].) Summary.freeSpace);

  Find Clusters corresponding to the layer data store

  var podTierArray = new Array();

  for each {(var pod in storagePods)

       if (pod.name.indexOf (tier) > = 0) {

  podTierArray += pod;

  }

  }

  podTierArray becomes a string instead of table after above operation :(((

  System.log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray [0]);

  System .log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray);

  Here is the result of the above script:

  [12:24:27.307 2015-02-27] [I] storagePods: 4497773428736

  [12:24:27.308 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: D

  [12:24:27.310 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: DynamicWrapper (Instance): [VcDatastore]-[class com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.VimDatastore] - VALUE: < datastore-386 > Datastore 'high Datastore01 '.

  
  

  I'm guessing that "D" is the first character in the string (which should be an array), which is also attested by the third row of the output when I print the entire string.

  Because this time is a string I can't use it as an object, for example "podTierArray. Summary.freeSpace' give me an error that it is a property not set.
  

  In addition, as you can see earlier when I use the variable ""storagePods "this is a picture I have run the podTierArray. "

  
  

  Why would he suddenly become a string instead of an array of objects?
  

  Hi Oskar,

  It happens because of this line in your code

  podTierArray += pod;
  

  This is not the right way to add the element in a table. You need to take it

  podTierArray.push(pod);
  

• Cluster data store

  Currently we have a number of data warehouses VMStore_Live1 at 8, recently we had a data store to fill and this due to a problem with some of the virtual machines running in our direct environment.

  I had a thought on the use of cluster data store so storage DRS would be used between data warehouses, we are currently using NetApp, would be one of your recommend using cluster data store? or is there some catch with this?

  We have a host with DRS and HA cluster, but at the moment we have just warehouses of separate data which manually migrate us vm.

  Yes,

  We have two modes:

  1 manual load balancing

  2. automatic load balancing

  We do not have partially automated our way to BLAH DRS cluster.

  Note that: automated initial investment is excluded in both modes: DTS generates a recommendation of initial investment which still requires a manual confirmation.

• How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store?

  How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store? I mean the command line option.

  Hello

  by command line, you mean PowerCLI?

  If so, you can display data with this warehouses:

  Get-DatastoreCluster-name DSClustername | Get-Datastore

• Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

  How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

  I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

  Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

  Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

• Creating a new Cluster data store

  Hello

  Can we move a data store in a Cluster of data while its machines store still virtual hosting?  I was not able to find information on this. What I find the Clusters data store talking about new environments.  I'm working on an existing vSphere 5.5 but the storage of data are not grouped.  I want to place data warehouses in a Cluster of quick data without vMotioning store VMS off.

  Thank you

  Boston Tech Guy

  You can move the datastore in the store Cluster data without any downtime, and while VMS are running on it. (This is as same as you put cluster host, while VMS are running).

• Clone a virtual machine to a Cluster data store

  Hello

  Really simple (hopefully), but I'm trying to write a workflow that includes the provision of a virtual computer to a cluster of data store. I'm a link to the workflow 'Clone the virtual machine, no customizations' that only accepts a store of input data.

  I hope that I am a bit stupid here and there is a simple answer?

  Thank you.

  There is no simple answer.  DRS clusters are actually a set of rules and not a real thing, you can deploy a VMDK.  I suggest to use Onyx to deploy a virtual computer to a DRS cluster and see what it generates.  If I remember correctly, it executes DRS rules to get a recommendation for where to put a VMDK fundamentally and then uses the exit in order to actually deploy the model.

  I opted to write just a simple workflow that finds the data store with the most of freespace that corresponds to a string - for example, if I have a DRS cluster named DSCluster_ugabuga, I have a lot of data stores named something like "ugabuga... ».  So you ask these storages of data and find the one which most freespace.

• Issue of Cluster data store

  Hello

  Is it possible to have 4 ESXi clusters, each with their own set of SAN data warehouses, all joined to a Cluster of unique data store? I have not found exactly this configuration described anywhere. I understand there are limitations such as 32 data etc. stores and paths to data warehouses will be available from certain hosts.

  Has anyone tried this before? I'm trying to simplify investment VM for Cloud management platform.

  Thank you

  Mike

  This is a supported configuration, and I have a few clients that are running this configuration without problem. Have a look here for details: linking DRS multiple clusters in a single Storage DRS datastore cluster. - frankdenneman.nl

• Get DatastoreCluster and data store information

  I wanted to know if it is possible using a Script or cmd PowerCLI for a list of all data warehouses and which datastore cluster they belong too.

  No error, but it does not list the data stores that are not part of a datastorecluster.

  If you want all data warehouses, you could do

  Get-Datastore.

  Select Name,@{N='DatastoreCluster'; E = {Get-DatastoreCluster - Datastore $_______ |} Select name - ExpandProperty}}

• Get the scsi for a data store information if the data store is known

  Hello

  I'm looking for a way to get the information of scsci for a data store if the name of the data store is known. In perl/powershell, this is not a big problem, but how to do this using the Orchestrator. It seems that some information is not available/accessible in vCO, as information volume.extent (object VcHostFileSystemVolume).

  For an example on how to do who, in powershell, see

  http://vwiki.co.UK/Datastore_to_LUN_Mapping_%28PowerCLI%29

  No idea on how to do the same with the Orchestrator.

  Concerning

  Thomas

  Hello

  Onyx would not help in this case. After thinking a bit, I found the solution. I looks like:

  for each {(var Mon in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.storageDeviceInfo.multipathInfo.lun)

  System.Debug ("number of paths:" + lun.path.length);

  for each {(var path in lun.path)

  If (path.state == 'active') {}

  //

  Download the mountinfo

  //

  System.Debug ("mountinfo length:" + wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo.length);

  for each {(Mount var in wfHostObject.configManager.storageSystem.fileSystemVolumeInfo.mountInfo)

  If (mount.volume.hasOwnProperty ("extent")) {}

  for each {(measure of var in mount.volume.extent)

  var tmp = extent.diskName.split(/\./);

  var regExp = new RegExp(tmp[1],'gi');

  If (lun.id.match (regExp)) {}

  System.Debug ("mount.type:" + mount.volume.type);

  System.Debug ("mount.name:" + mount.volume.name);

  System.Debug ("extent.diskName:" + extent.diskName);

  }

  }

  }

  }

  }

  }

• Collecting data store information

  Hi all

  I need to produce a report of all data stores that will include the name of datstore, the capacitygb, the freespacegb and the NAA.  That's what I came with, but it works simply forever.   Any suggestions?

  $datastores = get-Datastore.
  Where-Object {$_.ExtensionData.Info.GetType ().} Name - eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo"}
  $report = @)

  
  {Foreach ($d in $datastores)
  
  $temp = new-Object - TypeName PSObject-property @ {}
  Name = $d.Name
  CapacityGB = $d.CapacityGB
  FreeSpaceGB = $d.FreeSpaceGB
  NAA = Get-Scsilun - Datastore $d | Select canonicalname
  }
  $report += $temp
  }
  
  $report | Export-Csv h:\Documents\AllScripts\test3.csv

  The cmdlet Get-ScsiLun can take a long time, it isn't the fastest cmdlet around.

  If you have only 1 LUN in a data store, you can do something like this to get the same result

  Get-Datastore | where {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |Select Name,CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB,@{N="NAA";E={$_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | Select -ExpandProperty DiskName}} |Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If there are more than 1 LUN by the data store, the script needs a little change.

  Get-Datastore | where {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |Select Name,CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB,@{N="NAA";E={[string]::Join(',',($_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | Select -ExpandProperty DiskName)}} |Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

• Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store

  Hello

  Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.

  Thank you

  Astra

  Looks like he needs a store of data for this parameter object. So we need to do a get Datastore cluster I can try to test tomorrow, but try this:

  If ($datastore1 - only 'none') {}

  $drscluster = get-DatastoreCluster $datastore1

  $vmadddsk = new-disk-hard - VM $gstname CapacityKB - $datastore1size - data $drscluster store

  }
