• SCSI local data store connectivity issues

  Hi all
  I installed the server ESXi 4.1 before six months. now, I've seen continuous events related to data store connectivity issues. I changed the SATA cable also, but it won't help. How can I fix this without interrupting the VMs.

  As ESXi before 5, it is located on the var

• Add another server data store

  Hello

  I can't seem to find anything about this...

  I have new ESXi server and I need to move VMs from my old to new... but can not figure/find how to add the new server to the old server data store, so I'll be able to transfer my VMs directly.

  Thanks for the help,

  Welcome to the community - if these are two autonomous servers without shared storage there are three ways to complete the move:

  1. Using VMware Converter Standalone
  2. Export the virtual machines from the old environment and import to the new server
  3. Use a tool like WinSCP and copy virtual machines manually between two hosts

• What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

  Hi all

  This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

  I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

  Thank you all

  Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

• Server data store will automatically get updated when the new file (with the same name) is placed in the landing area

  
  Hi guys,.

  The data store server-side will get automatically updated when a new file with the same name is loaded in the landing area?

  for example

  1 data store created for server-side get the file named UK.xls (he has 5 rows)

  2 snapshot created for the above data store

  3. created with the snapshot process

  After that if I remove 2 lines from the same file and load again to the landing (with the same name). So by re-running the process will take the last file OR do I need to reload the file in the data store every time when there is a change in the file. We also tried with option to work but the last file was not picking up.

  Any help will be really appreciated.

  Please lets us know your updates.

  Please advice

  Thank you

  Hello

  When you create a snapshot, you create a snapshot whose task (provided that you use a data store server-side) can be run from a job. To refresh the data, run the snapshot in a job task. If you create a task at the time the snapshot and the processes that use it, they will automatically connect and will be 'upstream' data through the snapshot in the process. You can then choose whether it would be appropriate to write the snapshot or not (for the effectiveness of performance if you want to do the straight through processing) by activating or deactivating the bucket of data staged that the snapshot written to. The snapshot in the work task means that the data is refreshed.

  For the work of design to the Director, you can refresh the snapshot by running again it manually in the context menu.

  Kind regards

• Unable to browse the server data store

  Hello

  I lost the files in my data store. I have two data warehouses and two of them had vm folders in there but tonight my vms unresponsive and when I try to restart they throw an error that a file is not present. When I tried to browse the data store, the two data stores back empty.

  Thank you

  Hey m,

  can you go on the albums esx server into your virtualcenter

  Try remapping to one of the existing NFS shares. You should get a message that the share already exists, but when you return to the summary page, you should be able to doubleclick on the NFS share and view folders (it's like trying to connect is enough to restore the existing connection)

  Let me know how you go

• Support of file server data store Provisioning

  I build a Win2012R2 file server.

  Datastore1 = 800 GB

  Datastore2 = 12 to

  Datastore1 is taken. Datastore2 will have about 2 TB of space used for storage of copies of virtual machines. The rest is for file server.

  What provision is recommended to use for a growing file server? Thick or thin?

  Is it OK to grant MORE than Datastore2 space?

  If other data on Datastore2 (other than the file server) begin to develop how the file server will make up the difference?

  Thanks in advance.

  Unless any 3rd third-party tool can do it, you must re - initialize the disk system. In addition to this, you will need to edit the virtual machine boot options and change the firmware of the BIOS to EFI boot. Another option is to shrink the partition from the current system of the customer for example 100 GB and then create a second partition with a GPT partition table.

  Please keep in mind that backup and - most importantly - recover from these large partitions consume considerable time, and it may be useful to plan several smaller if possible partitions.

• Data store 6.0 VMWare not recognized after the last batch of hotfixes installed on HP custom image

  Hello guys,.

  Maybe you can help me:

  I installed VMWare 6.0 on a server HP ML350 G9 with image OEM offered custom HP, ESXi - 6.0.0 - 2494585-HP - 600.9.3.30.2.

  This works perfectly.

  Now I am trying to apply the latest available official patch (ESXi600-201507001), but it seems to kill some important VIB

  VIBs installed: VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-lsi-mr3-plugin_1.0.0-2vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-megaraid-sas-plugin_1.0.0-2vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_misc - drivers_6.0.0 - 0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_sata - ahci_3.0 - 21vmw.600.0.11.2809209, VMware_bootbank_scsi - hpsa_6.0.0.44 - 4vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_scsi - mpt2sas_19.00.00.00 - 1vmw.600.0.0.2494585

  VIBs deleted: Hewlett-Packard_bootbank_scsi - hpsa_5.5.0.106-1OEM.550.0.0.1331820, LSI_bootbank_scsi - mpt2sas_15.10.06.00.1vmw - 1OEM.550.0.0.1198610, VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-lsi-mr3-plugin_1.0.0-1vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_lsu-lsi-megaraid-sas-plugin_1.0.0-1vmw.600.0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_misc - drivers_6.0.0 - 0.0.2494585, VMware_bootbank_sata - ahci_3.0 - 21vmw.600.0.0.2494585

  The next time I reboot the server, the data store is not available, no more and I have to do a restore. I suspect that the new bootbank_hpsa is the origin of the problem.

  So, how to install the latest patch without losing the data store connectivity?

  Thank you

  What should work, is to download the latest driver hpsa in the/hpq/latest/esxi-600-devicedrivers Indexand install it just after the connection of the host (prior to restart it). The .zip file contains a bundle off line as well as the .vib file.

• Move an ESX3.5 to ESX4 data store

  Hello

  Here's the question:

  I have actually 3 esx 3.5 with 3 data store connected from a SAN and each data store connected to all the nodes of esx and a few other virtual machine running on the data store local.

  And I also 3 new esx4 nodes.

  What I want to do: remove the old data store without remove the virtual machine from the ESX 3.5 and attach directly to the new nodes esx4. The san connection is ok, im not scared of this point.

  I tried to simply remove the data from the vsphere client store, but when you try to remove it, all the data in the data store is deleted, its now what we expect!

  The question: is it possible? and how?

  Thx for your answers

  Access to new hosts of data warehouses before cancel you them old hosts mapping. Make sure VM files are visible to the ESX 4 hosts, unsubscribe 3.5 VMs (directly, or simply migrate VMS 4.0 guests) one then disconnect warehouses of 3.5

• 2.0 server loses the connection to the store of data on reboot

  I will install ESXi on my server in the very near future. I just ordered another NAS (Buffalo Terastation Pro 2 TB II) and prefer to use it for a data store since I can't afford a SAN skinning in LUN for my virtual machines.

  I'm running 2.0 on a Windows Server 2003 Server. I have a problem and I was wondering if you had this happen or know how to prevent it from happening.

  I copied some of my virtual machines from the current server to a 1 TB NAS (Netgear Ready NAS NV +) which is located on the network. I added the data store to the server pointing to it as a CIFS share. Everything seems to work fine until I restart the server... then it can not find the data store. I tried refreshing the data store, but it does not. I have to actually remove the data store and Add again... If I just try adding another store of data that it knows that it is mapped to the same location and she won't let me. So I remove, add a data store and computers virtual it appear in the server...  I thought I could try the drive mapping to the location of the data store but it won't let me just use the drive letter mapping, it requires the name of the folder too... Any thoughts?

  Thanx

  There is a workaround solution posted here:

  http://communities.VMware.com/message/1098864

  BTW. I found it by searching the community for "CIFS".

• Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter

  Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store.  I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage.  I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes.  I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.

  I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done).  Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server.  I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." "  I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ".  The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"."  Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.

  I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server.  You can provide me with any help is appreciated.

  Good thing you already moved the VMs on.  For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway.  You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses.  In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot.  It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject.  A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.

• Relocation of the unusable VCenter Server after data store

  I needed to move the VCenter server only US planes of the DataStore has located on SAN1 to B data store located on SAN2 because we were retiring SAN1. After connecting directly to the VMhost which housed the vCenter Server VM, closing the vCenter Server and remove the vCenter Server inventory, I scoured data store A and moved the server vCenter to B data store directory. "After the copy is completed, I added the back inot inventory of vCenter Server, it works, toldi it"I moved"and received an error message indicating the file vCentersrvr.vmdk ' was absent.

  A review of the content directory for vCenter data store b shows no vCentersrvr.vmdk, but rather lists a file called vCentersrvr - flat hard. The type of file, the file is listed as "file". I tried to rename this gall and turn on/off the VM, but still no luck. Here are my questions:

  1. Can I save this installation? The original directory no longer exists (it was deleted automatically after the copy of the file).
  2. If I can't save this installation, can I just rebuild a new vCenter Server and Add (2) hosts that are currently managed by the vCenter Server server has failed?

  There is another method to recreate the descriptor VMDK files. http://www.phdvirtual.com/VMDKstubgenerator

• Windows 2008 Server NFS - permission denied when accessing the NFS data store

  Hello

  I'm trying to configure a Windows 2008 Server to store virtual machines on an NFS share.

  When I add the data store to my host, I have no Brown Read-only and the data store is added successfully.

  When I browse the data store, as soon as I try to delete a file or create a folder, I have an error message: "cannot delete" or "cannot complete the file was created.

  It seems to be a problem of rights NFS, but impossible to find what the problem is.

  In the/var/log/vmkernel, I see:

  Mar 23 17:43:07 vmw-esx1 vmkernel: 1:02:37:20.635 cpu4:4109) NFSLock: 2677: can't get the lock on the file new document texte.txt 0x4100070384d0 on circe (10.254.0.19): Permission denied

  Don't you have a howto use NFS with Windows 2008 to help me?  I found one for Windows 2003, but think are too different.

  Or another idea?

  See document attached with the NFS share parameters.

  Philippe

  You must configure the user name mapping in Services for UNIX/NFS and map the root user.  Detailed instructions here: http://www.sohoadvisers.com/tutorials/vmware-esxi/connect-esxi-to-windows-nfs.  I was able to implement some hosts to use my Windows NFS export, but it was a bit unreliable.  This is a configuration not supported with VMware...

• Connection to the AOP with several NIC data store

  I have a situation where I need to have the computer that is running the tiara to be connected to two different networks.  I have two NIC installed in the machine, NIC A and B NIC, we will call them.  The reason for this is that I use Diadem to access the server on a machine of AVL PUMA AO.  If I connect to the local network PUMA, PUMA sometimes breaks down, probably something to do with the IP address.  So PUMA has need to be on a network that is not a router.  My tiara computer must communicate with PUMA, as well as with local shared drives on our corporate network.

  In any case, I have the company LAN hung on A NIC and hung on NIC B PUMA network.  Tiara fails to connect when the two networks are connected, but connects to the data store no problem when that network PUMA is hung. Any ideas how to solve this problem?  It seems tiara is looking for NIC - A instead of NIC B, as appropriate.

  For reference, when the two NIC is connected, I can access other than readers, and separate computers to ping on both networks, without problem, is not a connection problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  -Russ

  I guess poth NIC have different IP.

  -Did you use IP instead of the server name.

  -Do you use RPC or CORBA to access the PUMA Server?

  -What version of DIAdem.

  You can create a log file when the connection has failed?

  Greetings
