Comment fails to power after moving to a new data store.

I had this problem a lot where migrate machines. I navigate to the data store appropriate and right click on the folder of the guest, and I select "move". I choose the new data store and sit back and watch the progress bar. Once its migration adds the guest to the inventory and try to power on. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to repeat the steps above twice. Why missing files when trying to turn on when I move the files this way?

Right-click on the virtual machine, click on migrate.  Follow the prompts for destination until you reach the Select data store.  Click the radio button "Move virtual machine and virtual disks configuration files" and select the new data store.

  • Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

    Hi people,

    We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

    We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

    Following problem.

    When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

    After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

    Any ideas?

    Concerning

    Jean

    How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

    If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

    A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

    I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

  • ESXI 5.1 "the disc is not thin-provisioned" after copying to the new data store vmdk

    I wanted to create an external backup as a 2nd VM ready-to-run on the 2nd data store.

    I've removed all snapshots, stop the machine virtual and exported the OVF file to a computer, adjusted to the size of the original virtual machine starts in Gparted to update the partition and restart. All very well.

    I then tried to deploy the OVF in the data store alternative (235GB slim, thickness according to the deployment of 250 Wizard). I tried both thick and thin but the error message "cannot deploy the OVF. The operation was cancelled by the user.

    I then manually downloaded the VMDK & OVF file to the 2nd data store and tried to inflate but then received the message "a specified parameter was not correct. The disc isn't thin provisioned. ».

    It seems I have dealing with the same thing, as this is the document here (http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vsphere/55/vsphere-vcenter-server-55u3-release-notes.html).  However, I have no idea what to do now... and I'm worried because it seems that my backup plan may not work if I can't restore an OVF/VMDK from a disk of visas.

    The solution to the first problem here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2172950#2172950 that solved my problem 2nd too.

    You can use the Move-VM cmdlet to move a virtual machine to another data store: for example:

    Move-VM - VM "MyVM1" - data store "MyDatastore1".

  • Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store

    I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):

    (1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface

    (2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)

    (3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2

    4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.

    (5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2

    They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.

    If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?

    We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.

    Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

  • Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

    Hello

    Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

    I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

    I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

    The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

    Concerning

    Marius Aulie

    If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

    -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

    -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

    -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

    -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

    The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

  • Storage Vmotion to a new data store get UUID and MAC change to hot after reboot

    Hello

    I have a strange thing that happened on my vcenter.

    Just do a vmotion hot storage between two data store.

    I reboot the virtual machine and received no message to validate if I moved or copied.

    When the virtual machine is restarted, I see that changing the UUID and MAC address.
    Make me an error with an application running on it.

    Did anyone see that already?

    We do some testing and solution for this problem is to download the VM's vmx file on the local system and apply these settings:

    If you want to change the setting always or always create , power off the virtual machine and change its configuration (.vmx) file. Remove the line containing uuid.action = "crΘer" or uuid.action = 'keep'.

    The configuration line such as this to keep the UUID and MAC after vmotion: uuid.action = 'keep '.

    Reupload the file on the data store and restart the virtual machine

  • IP address on the virtual machine windows endangered endangered after the importation of the data store.

    I'm gaving a problem with the IP on windows vm disappear after having mounted the snapshot to restore. Here's what I do.

    Mount making LUNS to the esx host area

    I have eyebrows outside the data store to find the vm I want to right click and click Import the vmx file.

    Imports of the virtual machine and when I start it up I wonder if I've moved or copied the VM. I have tried both moved and copy but when I connect to the virtual machine is missing all its IP info.

    Any way to avoid the losting vm sound IP info when I import to the host from a LUN outlet?

    Hello

    Installs on the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

    The MAC of a virtual computer is based on the UUID/name of the virtual machine so if you are not using a static MAC (one that recognizes VMware) and it will change the IP address might also change if you are using DHCP. So I suggest to use a static MAC in the VM configuration.

    Another way is to set up the guest operating system in the virtual machine with a static IP address instead of a DHCP function.

    But if you are unable to remove the virtual machine or the copy in the virtual machine, there may be something locking these files would be an another running virtual machine. If you need to find this VM and kill him. In this case, "vmware-cmd - L" and 'vmware-cmd - l' host in question can be useful to find where the 'hidden' VM is running.  Ultimately you can use ' vm-support - x "to find a list of the virtual machines running by how the hypervisor lists. Then use 'vm-support - Z' to suspend the offending virtual machine that should unlock everything.

    Yes, the use of these commands is command line.

    However, before using these commands determine if you can find the place where life VM incriminated.

  • VM shows this in the NFS data store after passed to the vmfs data store

    Hello

    (1) create a virtual machine using NFS datastore

    (2) had created a few snapshots

    (3) to migrate this virtual machine from the data to the local VMfs store

    (4) all the files are moved to the defined vmfs datastore

    (5) storage > > nfs_datastore > > objects > > VM > > vm is present

    (6) but when did change the setting of this VM, vm is present on the data store local vmfs

    The .vmsn file contains binary data text, so you better not change it manually. The purpose of these files is to be able to return to his instant partner. Depending on the configuration of virtual machines in time you created the snapshot, the virtual machine may require access to the old data store to access the files and folders in there when you return to this snapshot.

  • Failed cloned VM - flat hard won't delete data store

    I tried to clone a virtual machine in vSphere 5.0 that failed because of a "timeout error" and now I am unable to remove the file VM - flat hard of this clone in the store of data target with an error message of "year error occurred while communicating with the remote host.  I need to get this file VM - flat hard removed from free space upwards on this data store.  Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Maybe the file remains locked by the cloning process, have you connected to the ESX console and see if the process still running?

    If you can ssh to the server, then you can

    lsof | grep<*filename>

    This should give the PID which has the file locked

    Kill

    To kill the PID, so you can delete the file

  • Why the 'Back' button often fails for the first time after moving to a new page to work?

    During further testing, I can repeat this bug every time: it happens when I clicked on a page background (focus it and allow scrolling arrow key). After having done this, clicking on the back button does not work as expected: don't not visually get "push the button" and the browser does not return to the previous page. Instead, everything on the menu (help, all file) becomes grey as if Firefox just lost focus.

    It almost seems like Firefox 7 has a 'smart' function to prevent accidental 'Back' presses, but if so, it does not work!

    Please let me know if you need more information about this bug.

    See:

    The default value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections has been increased from 30 up to 256 in versions of Firefox 6 +.

    Try to decrease the value of the pref Network.http.Max - connections 256-30 such as used in versions of Firefox 3.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
