• Get cluster data warehouses in VC

  Hi all

  I've been trying to write a code that lists all data warehouses in use by each cluster but little progress with it (I know that data warehouses are not a property of the bunch and I need to interogate each vmhost cluster for the info to store data but imreally+ bad)... Ideally I am looking for a similar to the following output in a CSV file:

  CLUSTER NAME DATASTORE NAME NO OF VMS CLUSTER DATASTORE DATASTORE USED SPACE FREE SPACE DATA STORE CAPACITY

  clustertest1 new 88 150 GB 100 GB 50 GB data store

  clustertest1 another datastore 88 70 GB 10 gb 60 gb

  Has anyone known this before - or even something similar?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  See you soon

  This should get you.

• Removal of host SDR data warehouses

  Hello

  I have a scenario where I want to migrate to a host and the VM between two clusters. I unfortunately had a number of DTS data warehouses attached to the host, no virtual machine is running from these storages of data on this host... I'm trying to disassemble stores but as expected get the error indicating that data warehouses are part of a cluster of EIM.

  Is it possible to no disturbance delete Host data warehouses.

  Thank you

  Steve

  So, what you want, remove some cluster DTS data warehouses and pass a host of a DRS cluster to another's is?

  Try the following steps:

  (1) remove the DTS cluster data warehouses, just move the data store outside the cluster for DTS;

  (2) move the host to the new DRS cluster target, if you have virtual machines running on it and cannot put the host in maintenance mode, you will need disconnect host, remove from the inventory and then add the host again to the new cluster.

  (3) If you wish, add data warehouses to the DTS of the new DRS cluster cluster.

• Fully connecting directly attached data warehouses in a cluster of ESXi?

  I have deployed two identical 5.1 ESXi hosts (servers Dell PowerEdge r720xd) each to 5,46 with storage to direct connection. They are both currently enrolled in our vCenter Server 5.1 and participate in a HA cluster. Their respective databases are also members of a group of data store.

  Each host is connected to its own data store, but not the other host data store. This effectively disables most of the HA/DTS features, and connection status of host for each data store is marked with a warning for missing connections. We have desire of VM migration and load balancing between the two hosts and the warehouses of data to be as homogeneous and transparent as possible.

  My question is simple: what is the most practical and effective way to establish the necessary connections to reach a State fully connected to hosts and data warehouses?

  Hello

  in this case you need something like a virtual appliance that uses your local storage to make it a shared storage. Your hosts can then access the storage via iSCSI/NFS. At the end of the day, you will have the space of a single node left (CT ~ 5.46), because the device (s) will reflect your data for more security against failure of the host.

  The easiest way would probably be the vSphere Storage Appliance

  But there are also other solutions as a virtual of DataCore and HP StoreVirtual VSA facility.

• New analysis of data warehouses... at the level of the Cluster with PowerCLI 5?

  Hello

  Since vSphere has been provided (I think) the option to open a new analysis of the HBA on every host in the cluster ESXs is available in the GUI if you click with the right button on the cluster, select analyze again to data warehouses.

  I have read several threads from people requesting this option in Powercli but have not found a solution for this.

  When you do Get-Cluster-name | Get-vmhost | Get-vmhoststorage - RescanAllHBA to do this, the new analysis a host once in the cluster.

  Is there a solution for this now in PowerCLI 5.0?

  BR

  Henrik

  As far as I know, there is still no option to launch the new analysis across the cluster in paralel.

• Cannot filter Cluster using PowerCLI data warehouses

  Hi, I am trying to retrieve information from a data store and I need the cluster, the data store is associated. I have to, reason or another, can't use the clusters in the searchroot as parameter:

  $cluster = get-Cluster-name "mycluster.

  Notice-EEG - ViewType Datastore SearchRoot - $cluster.id

  It does not return anything for me, where as if I replace the module in a data center, I get all data from the data center storage, even if I need the cluster as well. So I found another way to get the cluster through the host by using this code snippet that I whipped:

  $vmhosts = $datastore. Host

  $cluster = get-view-id (Get-View-Id $vmhosts [0].) Key | Select - Parent property). Parent | Select - the property name

  Write-Host $cluster. Name

  .. .or $datastore is a view of the data store. This gives me the name of the cluster, although the script works very slow and takes a long time to run. Our environment contains several thousand data storage so you can see why the time of execution of the script is a big concern for me. Here's the complete function to give the context of my question.

• Collection of data warehouses in the Script of commissioning

  Hi all

  First of all, I want to say thank you for all the help provided in these communities.  It has been very valuable in recent years.

  I had the opportunity to work on a configuration script treated for over a week now and have got almost ready for release but got stuck on the type of a basic element - collection of data warehouses.

  The idea is that we can use this to launch several environments identical demand - ripe for automation!

  We get the number of machines required is in $clcount, and $dslist can be equal to something like this...

  Name	FreeSpaceGB	CapacityGB
  SAN-ds-3	3,399.11	5,119.75
  SAN-ds-4	1,275.26	5,119.75
  SAN-ds-2	661.813	5,119.75
  SAN-ds-5	292.342	5,119.75
  SAN-ds-8	273.204	5,119.75

  My method works as long as the number of machines is less than the number of available data warehouses, but fails if the number of machines exceeds available data warehouses.

  $resources = Get-Cluster "Compute 1"
  $OSSpec = Get-OSCustomizationSpec "Base 2012 R2"
  $dslist = get-datastore | where {$_.Name -match "SAN" -and $_.FreeSpaceGB -gt 200} | Sort FreeSpaceGB -Descending
  $folder = Get-Folder "Lab 2"
  $clcount = "17"
  $envn = "Lab2-"
  $OSSpec = $OSSpec | New-OSCustomizationSpec -Name Temp-Spec -Type NonPersistent -Confirm:$false
  foreach ($num in 1..$clcount){
      $suffix = "{0:D2}" -f $num
      $datastore = $dslist[$num-1]
      $OSSpec = $OSSpec | Set-OSCustomizationSpec -NamingScheme fixed -NamingPrefix "APPCL$suffix"
      New-VM -Name $envn"APPCL"$suffix -Template $template -OSCustomizationSpec $OSSpec -Location $folder -ResourcePool $resources -Datastore $datastore
  }
  ##End build Client Machines
  $OSSpec | Remove-OSCustomizationSpec -Confirm:$false
  
  

  I know it would be easy to solve with the clusters and SDR data store, but I believe that would always choose the store of data with the most free space and you can see our environment could be a little unbalanced, so I am trying to build in a little more intelligence in the distribution of these machines in data warehouses.

  Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
  

  Use % (remainder of division) to transform $num into something that will be less than the size of option:

  $datastore = $dslist [$num % $dslist.count]

  Then change the ascending sort.

• 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

• 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

• 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);
  

• I have a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses, and I need to move

  Okay, I'm trying to reconfigure the storage on a cluster of ESXi to software development, and I fell on a virtual machine that is resident on two data warehouses.  Somehow, the user has configured this thing to have most of the VM files on the data store 5 while all the vmdk but the residence on the data store 1 boot drive.  He probably did it because of the size of the old warehouses of data and the many VMs older than his colleagues left sitting.  Well, now I just reconfigure data warehouses so that there is more usable space, but I can't move this machine a virtual so that I can reconfigure the rest of storage.  (For reference, the old warehouses of data have been implemented in 4 sets of three disks in RAID 3 and a set of four disks in RAID 3 with two drives hot spare.)  For the record: not my idea.  I am reconfiguring them now to be a set of 15 drives in RAID 6, divided into two LUNS on both controllers, with a hot spare.)

  Well, now I need to figure out how to get this VM is spent at one of new data stores.  The data migration store feature does not work.  Any recommendations?

  Hi Dangingerich,

  You can move the VMDK individually with the advanced functionality of storage vMotion allows you to ask the data disk on your new storage space and then have the OS disk track.

• 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.
