• Nobody knows the largest available space supported for vmfs data store when creating a new form of vmfs data store a 3T lun mapped from FC storage.

  I traced a form of lun 3 t FC storage.

  And the project to create a vmfs on this lun, creating, data store, space available by default is 1024 G, no 3 t, so I guess that maybe some limitations.

  Anyone know? Thank you very much.

  Hello

  The limit is 2 TB - 512Bytes

  That 512 bytes is VERY important to remember.

  You will see that 1 TB as it roles once you exceed 2 tablespoons.

  As Anton suggested you can use two 1.5 TB LUN safely. However, you can in fact more than 500 GB LUNS or such. Will the LARGEST you can is not always the most efficient allocation of resources.

• provisiond data store space does not match with the space of the VMs

  Hi guys,.

  I have the particular phenomenon on my cVenter environment. Space brought into service on data warehouses does not correspond with the really used capacity of the virtual machines.

  Details:
  VCenter: VMware vCenter 6.0.0 3634793
  ESXi: ESXi 5.5.0, 3568722
  Storage: The Netapp Cluster Mode
  NFS data warehouses

  Virtual machines allocate more space such as assigned. It could be 100% more space. There are no files that are responsible for this in the data store. We have allowed efficiency of storage which means on the Netapp deduplication.
  In the opinion of vCenter - the data store has a provisiond about 1 TB space and really about 550 GB space (space of each unique virtual machine).

  You know this problem or something like that?

  Best regards

  Thanks for your replies, but it's a feature of Netapp called fractional reserve.

  This reserved feature 0% or 100% of the space.

  Has anyone experiences with the option of fractional reserve and volumes NFS for ESXi? What is the best value for this?

• Data store sizes do not correspond to the sizes used all the vm

  Hey guys, I'm new in Vmware and I have a background of storage and I wonder if its correct what I see when I compare the total size of all the stores of data vs the 'space used' totals of all VMs running on these data stores.

  I see a total of 139 to on data warehouses with 33 to free space and when I add the vm used all space I have a totall TB 138. It's the size of all data stores!

  This seems not very accurate for me, I expect the total space used much lower. All the vm uses eager reset thick space.

  I hope someone can explain or confirm that they see similar things?

  For used space I exported the list of all the vm XL, cut in two the column space to separate the numbers from the gb / tb, changed all amounts of GB space and have XL add up the sum of all spaces.

  Hey MKguy, it was indeed your option 1, the RDM

  a command simple cli: Get - VM | Get-hard drive - Disktype "RawPhysical", "RawVirtual" | Select name, DiskType, ScsicannonicalName, DeviceName, Parent, CapacityGB

  has given numbers for all of the ROW and that's the difference between data warehouses, I have seen and all the used vm space :-)

  Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated!

• Not enough space on the data store. Could not power on VM:No space available on the device

  Hello

  Here's my problem. I have several virtual machines. But one of them can be powered on because of the problem of space. I can not add spaces because there is nothing to add. The data store is only 760 MB left. There is summary information about the virtual machine below. I need power somehow on this machine, but how can I do. can I add another data store space. Y at - it files I can delete from the data store. Snapshot file is considerably large, I can reduce its size without changing anything.

  Thank you.

  

  There are several ways to approach this problem

  1. you can storage vmotion, some VMs who are currently used and this will free space.

  2. check the clichés that you don't use, and delete those.

  3. reduce the memory of some other virtual machines which are turned on so that the swap space can be saved.

• Best practices for moving to the 1 of 2 VMDK to different data store

  I have several virtual machines who commit a good amount of data on a daily basis.  These virtual machines have two VMDK; one where the operating system and that where data is committed to.  Virtual machines are currently configured to store in the same data store.  There is a growing need to increase the size of the VMDK where data are stored, and so I would like these put special in a separate data store.  What is the best practice to take an existing virtual computer and moving just a VMDK in another data store?

  If you want to split the vmdks (HDDs) on separate data warehouses, just use Storage vMotion and the "Advanced" option

• HELP - how to get the number of virtual machines on a data store?

  Looking at the inventory of the data store in the VI client, there are a "number of Virtual Machines:" according to the General information for the Summary tab... I'm looking for a script that retrieves this information for me...

  I started the script but I'm stuck... I am very new on this...

  Get-Datastore. WHERE-object {$_ .name - like "wlp" ' "} #this gives me all the data which are not local warehouses

  Could someone give an overview on how to script to retrieve the number of virtual machines on data warehouses...

  Thank you, Lee

  Sorry, something went wrong with the copy - paste

  Get-Datastore | where {$_.Name -like "vmfs*"} | Sort-Object -Property Name | %{$_ | select @{N="DSname"; E={$_.Name}},
                                                                        @{N="VMcount";E={($_ | Get-VM | Measure-Object).count}}}
  

• List of virtual machines in the data store but is not registered in the inventory

  I have a perl script that can list all the virtual machines in a datasore given by using the HostDatastoreBrowser object.

  However this only back vms who are registered. I want to be able to find images that have 'removed from the inventory' users but not destroyed on the data store.

  I even reach this may by using the HostDatastorBrowser? If this is not the case, how can I achieve my goal?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can, but you may need to put the data in a different format. It is actually more a matter of perl a matter of VI Toolkit.

  You must create the appropriate list, then use the PERL map function to evaluate an expr on the entire list. Personally I just use a foreach example statement.

• Windows 7 shows that is not authentic

  Greetings,
  I have a laptop with Windows 7 I bought at Best Buy.  The machine came with Windows 7 Home.  I then bought the "Anytime Upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional.  Gets the activation code by following the instructions on the card, entered the numbers in the fields on Windows 7 upgrade.  The computer has done its thing, restarted and worked as Windows 7 Professional.  The next time I start the machine, it has a black background and a message in the lower right corner telling me my copy of Windows to non-genuine.  How can this be?  Windows has been installed on the PC by the manufacturer (ran since April fine without any problem), then once I've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional using the Express upgrade, I get a Windows is not real error message.  Any ideas?  In addition, as an info - this computer never saw the Internet and will not be connected to the internet, so I know that there were no viruses.  Thank you

  Usually, automatic activation no is not made after an upgrade Express and you will need to manually call this.

• 5.1 ESXi host is showing that does not

  Hi all

  We are to vCenter 5.5 with Environment 5.1 ESXi hosts. On one of our ESXi hosts, we sometimes get to see 5.1 ESXi, (build 799733) host is not responding and the virtual machines on this subject are displayed as status disconnected at the end of their names.

  When this happens, we are able to ping on the ESXi host and virtual machines are also able to ping / react to what is good, but he continues to be on different hosts at different times, all what I do when this occurs is to try to reconnect on the ESXi host and it connects fine and machines virtual hosting on she will return to the State normal and everything will be normal on this host. I want to understand why this is happening at different times and on different hosts of ESXi and ensure that this should not happen again in the future or find the before root cause is even worse.

  so, could someone please look at this and let me know where to start troubleshooting this to find the root cause.

  Thanks in advance

  Your vCenter and ESXi host is on the same subnet? In any case, I recommend you take a look at this article and apply the patch suggested: VMware KB: hosts ESXi and ESX disconnect randomly VMware vCenter Server

• Guest showing that does not

  Hi all

  Yesterday, we migrated our firewall (checkpoint to ASA) in one of our networks and essentially 3 x ESXi hosts are displayed as "not responding" and all the virtual machines as "disconnected."

  We have created new rules in the firewall as vcenter and hosts are on different networks and separated by the firewall. For purposes of tshoot'ing us between vcenter and hosts, but still no joy.

  I restarted the service on the physical vcenter vcenter server and he works briefly, but then he returned to the State "is not responding.

  All guests can be consulted directly on vsphere client, all data warehouses are connected to the host.

  I'll give you vcentre a reboot to see if it is fixed.

  I was wondering how I could find out/tshoot. I saw a few KBs of VMware, but none has led me to find the cause

  Comments are appreciated

  It was me not allowing only not 902 return guests to vCentre

  When you write this segment TO view all varibales liaison should be required.
  
  But when I use a < af:search > element in my jsff to rummage in the table view all bind variables required are indicated. I don't want the element to appear because they are for internal use only.
  
  Thanks for your advice.

  I have not tried - but what happens if you set the view made allusion to the binding variable to 'hide '?
