• Size of data store for just an OS LUN?

  This seems to be a silly question for me, but the alarm is shake me up.

  If I want to create a data store that is just a LUN for an OS only, what size does?

  For example, in the construction of a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, I created a LUN on the SAN for just the OS and set it to 50GB.  Then, in vCenter, I add the storage to the ESXi hosts as a data store (lets call it OSLUN).  Then I create a virtual computer and use OSLUN as the hard drive, 40 GB provisioning (think that is all I need).  Now, because I chose 8 GB of RAM, the total of the VMDK ends up being 48Go.  vCenter launches an alert to 'Use of data to drive store' saying 49,75 GB it remains only 1.24 GB.

  It makes any sense to me, except the alarm that makes me think I'm somehow running out of space to store data... should I just ignore this alarm?  I do not see how I'd go on the space allocated for the LUN of the OS.  :\

  Unless you were to store these things on different sets of pins he won't have too much difference. Keep your environment as simple as long as you can. Adding to the complexity when it solves a specific problem not only because you can.

• Second data store for the shared virtual machine

  IM thinking about to migrate my existing VMWare Server 2.x to VMWare Workstation 8.

  My server is a machine selfbuild W2k8 with Core i7, 24 GB of ram, an SSD for the OS and two 500 GB HDDs. Due to performance issues an VM is placed on a separate HARD disk. I want to keep the configuration like this.

  At the time where I'm using a trial version of WS8 and may not know how to set up a second datastore for shared virtual machines on a second hard drive. Is this possible at all? Or y at - it an alternative to solve this problem? Creation of a RAID0, isn't my favorite option.

  Thanks for the reply.

  It is not implemented by using a second data store for shared virtual computers.

  Workaround solution:
  Suppose you have the original data store C:\vms and a second D:\vms

  then create a junction for each directory in D:\vms like that

  C:\vms\VM1 D:\vms\VM1 junction.exe

  C:\vms\VM2 D:\vms\VM2 junction.exe
  ....

  then the vmx files from doubleclick in C:\vms\VM1 and configure the virtual machine to share.

  On Windows 7, use mklink.exe instead
  On Linux hosts use ln

• List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine

  Hello

  How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.

  Thank you

  If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html

  A script that can help with the list of files to store data for a given virtual machine is dsbrowse.pl

• Why is 'Use different data stores for disks of BONE and View Composer persistent' grayed out?

  I installed 5 (cluster host 2) vsphere, vcenter 5 discover 5 and openfiler (iSCSI VSA) in vmware workstation 7.

  I am trying to simulate a tiered storage configuration and created three warehouses of shared data in order to separate the replica, the linked clones and persistent disk.

  However, when I create my bound clone pool I am able to select a specific data store for the replica and bound but clone the persistent disk option is grayed out.  See photos attached to the pool creation, storage, and network configuration.

  Has anyone any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Yes, the use of the disc for operating system profiles require a linked clone pool.     The operating system will be on the clone, persistent disk will be a disc loaded end service that survive refreshes and redials, and then the replica will be reading only one copy of the master image.    The replica in general has in the IO and is almost always placed on the SSD or storage faster than you have and the persistent data disk is usually low IO.

• How can I move virtual machines from a local data store for a new iSCSI SAN?

  Hello guys,.

  Now that we have a new iSCSI SAN market how can I tranfer all the virtual machine to a local data store for a new SAN? Can I stop the VM in the host, and then copy the DataStore files with all the info on the new volume?

  Thank you

  Pesinet

  Alternatively, you can use VMware converter or cold Migration / Storage VMotion if you have the appropriate licenses.

  I saw this happen. In my case, I noticed that enforcement/drm-web client in IIS use DefaultAppPool rather than the DRMAppPool. Change to use the DRMAppPool, restart the IIS services and it should be good

• How to select different data store for the snapshot

  Hello

  I connected with two data store ESXi 4 server. First data store is a local raid-5 HD and the second data store is a netgear NFS nas.

  virtual machines are stored on the local data store. I want to archivie snapshot for my virtual machine to use the second (nas NFS) data store. I tried to snapcho, but the disk data store is used is always the local.

  can I select a different data store to store the snapshot files?

• Show active paths by the data store for each host

  I'm looking for a PowerCLI script that displays by cluster, by ESXi host how active paths has a data store. The output should look like:

  Paths of Active host data store

  VMFS-01 ESXi01 2

  Thank you

  Ivo

  Try this one, it shows the actual number of "active" paths by the data store.

  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){  $hss = Get-View $esx.Extensiondata.ConfigManager.StorageSystem
  
    $lunTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiLun | %{    $lunTab.Add($_.Key,$_.CanonicalName)  }  $pathTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.MultipathInfo.Lun | %{    $pathState = @($_.Path | Group-Object -Property PathState |    where {$_.Name -eq "active"} | Select -ExpandProperty Group)
  
      if($pathTab.ContainsKey($_.Lun)){      $pathTab[$_.Lun] += $pathState.Count    }    else{      $pathTab.Add($lunTab[$_.Lun],$pathState.Count)    }  }
  
    foreach($mount in ($hss.FileSystemVolumeInfo.MountInfo | where {$_.Volume.Type -eq "VMFS"})){    $mount.Volume.Extent |    Select @{N="VMHost";E={$esx.Name}},      @{N="Datastore";E={$mount.Volume.Name}},      @{N="LUN";E={$_.DiskName}},      @{N="Active Paths";E={$pathTab[$_.DiskName]}}  } } 
  

• How to move a rule definition with the data store for esx alarm without re-creating the rule?

  Hi, I would spend my rule of definition of alarm of the data at the level of esx store, without re-creating the rule. Is this possible?

  In the Act, I don't want no definition of the alarm at the data store level. So, what is the best practice?

  
  
  Best regards

  It is currently not possible.  The rules are hierarchical, and there is no way to stop the inheritance, or move messages.  You will have to re-create them at the appropriate level.

• How to specify what data store for use with OVFtool

  It drives me crazy! Way that you specify what data store to use when there are several?

  I ran exactly the same command on a box that had a data store and it worked fine (as expected). He created the folder of the virtual machine to the root of the SD and then pulled on the virtual machine of the FVO. However, with multiple it just says not: no datstore target specified. I tried 1 million combinations of?-ds = with hooks, without. It is said to be sometimes found in the inventory. I guess that's looking for a folder. But this cannot be so difficult?

  C:\Program VMware OVF tool & gt; ovftool P:\Downloads\PanoManagerVM-2.8.0

  -ovf\panomanager.ovf ' vi: / / [email protected].

  Data warehouses is on target:

  something like

  OVFTool - ds = "SAN Storage" source target

  should work

  If you write ovftool - help you can see the full syntax.

• How to find clusters of data store for compute cluster?

  I used PowerCLI script calls within a rest service.  The rest service is spent a bunch of new applications of construction of virtual machine data.  For the deployment, the only data (relevant to this question), I'm getting is the vcenter server and the name of the compute cluster.  I need to find a way to determine which cluster of data store to deploy virtual computer by using the name of the compute cluster.  If I do a get-cluster $clustername | FL * I see no correlation between the computer cluster and the cluster data store.

  If I get info on a VM (get-vmhost $vmhost) host in a cluster, I see the datastoreIDlist as a property of the object VMhost and can see the warehouses of data (not datastoreclusters) facing it.  Which is not ideal, but it might be doable.

  I know there is a relationship between compute clusters and storage that is presented in vcenter.  Why can't I find that in powercli?

• Data store for config files shared with esxi and free license

  Hello

  currently I am setting up a test environment with two esxi nodes that share a database on an EMC Clariion. Virtual disks itself will be shared by RDM, there is no problem.

  But if I change the configuration of a virtual machine to a physical computer (node A) the other (node B) still use the old configuration, node B does not notice the change applied to node A. What I am doing wrong? Is there a set up where node B will automatically refresh the virtual machine configuration after modification on node A?

  If I download the file vmx of navigation on the B node data store, I see the applied changes written to the file. So I guess it isn't a caching issue. The vmx file we re - read when turn on/off the virtual machine? Why isn't she re-read on the opening of the vm configuration dialog box?

  What is the recommended set for two guests free esxi who should be able to run virtual machines in the other machine? I don't think that of VMotion or HA! I just want if node A has a power outage on some VMs on the node B.

  Thank you!

  Good bye

  Daniel

  You must not register VMs on of two ESXi. Installing vCenter or register VMs on host-host these specific VMs will run on. If you need to move the VM to an another ESXi then delete the inventory on the single host and add to the inventory on the other.
