• Copy the ISO data store ESXi on VM

  Hello

  I'm quite new to virtualization and unable to understand the ways to copy the ISO file that is located on the data to a virtual computer store. Basically, I already installed ESXi and couple of Windows 2008 VM. Consider using one of this virtual machine as a server vCenter. Now, I have already downloaded from the VMware website and downloaded vCenter ISO to one of the data store.

  However, unable to work how can I copy the ISO to this virtual machine file so that I can install vCenter server? I have read a few things on the internet and tried to use WinSCP within the virtual machine using the IP host address, but I get "no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.» the connection has failed. It is similarly after I activated the client FTP on ESXi host in the firewall. I am able to SSH (putty) to ESXi host with no problems.

  How can I get this to work? Y at - it a simple method that might work? Is WinSCP way to go? If so, why it wouldn't work? Note it is lab home environment and there is no other firewalls between the two.

  Thank you

  Please use it under VMware documentation pertaining to the same.

• vSphere - external USB drive to the data store local copy

  Hello world

  Yesterday, I created this post: http://communities.VMware.com/message/2135813
  With your help, we managed to find the only way to install ESXi to ISO image to USB external hard drive is to be attached to the machine near her and run the Setup from there, cannot be done directly.

  Today, we need your help in the next step, as it seems.

  We have a Dell r.620 physical machine with VMware ESXi 5.0 installed U1. We have an external hard drive with the operating system installation ISO images, software backup and a little more.

  The question is - how to copy the data from the external USB connected directly to the ESXi host to the data store local disk on the host.

  Yes, we know that we can do in the way that connect us to the machine on the same location and copy it into the data from there store. But we would do it directly. And we don't very well see by ourselves or using Google Uncle again.

  Poor ability to research, or is not possible?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  The court to do is to use the Datastorebrowser or WinSCP

  ESXi itself can only read the Fat16 drives - so what looks like the short path is the long way ;-)

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Thanks for your help.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• How to create the new virtual machine vm existing in the data store on ESXI

  I have ESXi and couple of virtual machines.

  I have the vsphere client on Windows 7.

  I then deploy the ovf from the vsphere client vm and it began to import my VM 30 GB.

  In the morning, I realized my vm with a vmdk file file has been transferred in the data store

  But I couldn't see any virtual computer.

  Now I don't know how to turn on this vmdk file that is in my data store

  It's a very bad habit of yours to just copy and paste content created by someone else, without even mentioning the source (http://www.mustbegeek.com/create-copy-of-existing-virtual-machine-in-esxi-server/)

• Copying files to the data store

  I use the server ESXI 4.0 and a few Linux VM running. I would like to ask if there is a way to copy any file to any directory VM on the host main data store. If there is a way could someone please suggest some tips.

  You can use the data store browser (right-click on the icon for the data store).

  Or VMware Converter.

  Or enable SSH and SCP or FastSCP.

• Copy VM in the data store. 2GB becomes 30 GB!

  Hi all

  ESXi 4, using the vSphere client. I browse the data store, then copy a VM folder into another folder in the same data store. It takes almost 1 hour.

  When I take a glance in the destination folder, the file becomes 30 GB!, the original 2 GB file.

  What is going on? Now I wonder, it takes so long to copy.

  On reflection, it's as if, Thin Provisioning disappears when you are copying. 30 GB is the size of the VM disk.

  What is the best way to create a 'clean' of the virtual machine copy, can I just copy paste the folder?

  Thanks in advance.

  Copy operation to create discs always thick.

  If you want to copy on a thin disk, you must use the vmkfstools command:

• Target iscsi ESXI 5.0, active path connected, mounted, are not not in the data store data store

  HI -.

  I am looking for help to point me in the right direction.  This problem occurred after a reboot of the system.

  I'm in vmware esxi essentials 5.0.0 821926

  I use the starwind software as my iSCSI target

  I use ISCSI to connect to my server from storage to the esxi hosts.

  I have 2 warehouses of data showing inactive under clusters of data storage and the data store.  I have a third-party data store on the same server that is loading properly.

  I currently have the same behavior on three esxi hosts:

  under configuration - storage adapters is the ISCSI path is active. Data warehouses appear under devices and mounted.  In data warehouses, they are inactive. On the same storage server

  on the starwind Server - I have

  built a new target

  removed and added the databases to the new target

  Changed the IP address of the target.

  On Esxi hosts, I removed the ISCSI server, discover places BOF dynamic and static and added under the same or IPs news discovery

  I can restart esxi hosts & storage servers and get to that same point.

  Whenever I find myself in the same place - course assets, devices mounted, inactive in data warehouses

  I don't know what else to share, let me know what you need to know to help out me.

  Thank you

  Dylan

  OK, incase someone crosses my ramblings, it may help.  My original question was warehouses of data that would not rise.  They were visible as devices in the area of storage under devices and as devices in the scsi adapter.

  When I would try to force mount them, add storage, keep the signature, mount they wouldn't mount.  I did some research and my question was after a failed mount attempt strength as got data attached as snapshots warehouses.  I then mounted force them and he tells will data warehouses and I got them back.

  I followed this KB to identify and resolve the problem

  manipulation of vSphere detected as snapshot LUN LUN (1011387)

  When it was over, I tried to add vms back and found a new show.  Power of vms would expire.  the vmkernel.log showed;

  2014 05-27 T 07: 20:40.010Z [verbose 'Vmsvc' 564D7B90] Vmsvc: filtering Vms: ignored not ready to request power state vm vim. VirtualMachine:75

  I had latency huge read write showing upwards, 3K and more

  After several searches, I had in the ESXShell and found that there is no conflict of booking.

  On a whim, I took inventory all virtual machines that are now inaccessible.  I then added a DOS virtual machine. Alto! the latency down to version 1.2 a.7 ms for all data warehouses.

  ultimately the instructions said you may need to add virtual machines in the inventory, but does not remove all virtual machines first.  I was grabbing vms that were not in stock, so I didn't remove the old virtual machines in the inventory.

• Add the new hard drive into the data store in ESXi 4.1

  Hi all

  Oracle system engineer

  Abrams,

  That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

  1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

  2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

  This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
  a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
  (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
  c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

  After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

  And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

  Good luck.

• install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server

  Hello

  I want to install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server.

  My problem is that I can't make partitions to really separate them and I would reinstall esxi without wiping the data store.

  Y at - it another way to put a record out of the raid only to install esxi.

  I also do not install on a USB key.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  AZEL,

  Can you give us more details about your current environment?  What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?

  My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store.  Is this correct?

• Connect to ISO image on the data store

  Is it possible to do it with a script? If I mount the iso even several virtual machines at the same time?

  I tried: get-cddrive vm_name | game-cddrive - isopath 'vm_templates\iso-files\whatever\whatever.iso '.

  But it continues to error with an invalid message data store. Any ideas?

  The path of the data store must follow a specific syntax.

  Like this

  Get-CDDrive vm_name | Set-CDDrive -IsoPath "[datastorename] Folder\file.iso"
  

  Don't forget the test blank after the closing brackets!
