• Deployment of a virtual machine from a store of data with less space, but enough for the virtual machine

  I received this delicate task, and I can understand not just how to replace all parts.

  I need to create a script that will be smartly decided what data store to deploy a virtual computer.  We do not want to deploy in a data store that has the most space, we want to deploy to the data store that has the least space but can still account for the space for the (vm + 5%) and still leave 50 GB free on the lun after the move.

  Thus, for example, if the virtual machine is 40 GB, we want the script to select the data store that has a close to 90 GB available without being under.

  So my thought for this approach is:

  • Create the query to get all the relevant LUNS.  This excludes all the LUNS with the 'local' name in it and excludes all LUN owners (who have a slightly different naming convention then our general shared storage LUNS)
    • This piece, which I partially understood
      • Get-datastore. WHERE-object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')}
    • Now, I need to get all of their total size and free space.  Perhaps export this list to a CSV, however if I have to.
    • Create a variable that contains: the size of the total virtual machine to the virtual machine that is deployed before its deployment.
    • Deduct vm size against each data store size and pull in some way that that also close to 50 GB free on the data store and still facilitates the deployment of the vm.
      

  I have a few other scripts, I scrounged on the internet that I tried to restore... but I just don't calm not having all the pieces...

  • Get-Datastore. Where-Object {$_.} ParentFolder-match 'Internal'} ' | Select-Object - property data center, FreeSpaceMB, CapacityMB name, ' | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceMB
  • Select-Object Name,@{n="CapacityGB";e={[math]::round (($_.)) {{(CapacityMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpaceGB"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} {{(FreeSpaceMB/1024))}}, @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}} | Sort-Object FreeSpaceGB

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Try something like this

  # Get all data warehouses

  $ds = get-Datastore. Where-Object {($_.)} Name: corresponds to "PAR0 [1-4] _ [edp] * disk *")- and ($_.) "." Name - notmatch 'local')} |

  Select-Object Name,

  @{n = "FreeSpacePercent"; e = {[math]: round (($_.))}} FreeSpaceMB / $_. {{(CapacityMB*100))}}

  {foreach ($vm in Get - VM)

  # Find possible candidates

  $candidates = $ds | where {($_.)} FreeSpaceGB - $vm. (UsedSpaceGB-50) - gt 0}

  # Find the best candidate

  $target = $candidates | Tri-objet-property FreeSpaceGB-descending | Select - 1 first

• Transport mode "nbdssl" is not available if the virtual machine has no snapshot

  When I use VixDiskLib_ConnectEx with a vmdk having a snapshot, I "nbdssl". If the virtual machine has no snapshot, I've always had "nbd" no matter what I specified in the parameter transportModes of the VixDiskLib_ConnectEx. I tried NULL, "nbdssl". It affects always unconditionally "nbd" when there is no snapshot.

  Is this expected behavior? If so, I am not able to write safely to a vmdk. During a recovery, I create a new vm. However, there is no snapshot. I want to get back to this vmdk.  How to work around this limitation of security?

  You use 1.1?  nbdssl restores are not supported on 1.1.

• Did not backup VCenter VM with space in name and the virtual created from ESX host computer

  Hi all

  Have worked on the backup of VMware VM ESX 4.1,5.1.5.5 for nearly a year and now I'm familiar Vsphere API (VADP), VDDK API,.

  Now, I'm working on the same implementation by using the credentials of vCenter it works very well up there in the name of VM space.

  VDDK API fails to open the disc with the error code VIX_E_FILE_NOT_FOUND 4, I studied on it, the problem is with "vmpath", the setting is mandatory when using VDDK with vCenter.

  vmpath is in cnxParams and it specifies the owner of the particular disc vm.

  vmpath format is "vmpath = DatacenterName/vm/VMname" for example. 'vmpath = myDC/vm/testVM' it works perfectly

  but the problem is when it's likevmpath = myDC/vm/test VM"i.e. the space in my VM name and then fails.

  I use VDDK 5.5.4 and vCenter 6.0 because it is compatible with the other.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Dipak Poirier

  Please provide a code snipped, including the full command. This could make things more clear.

• NOT available in the Virtual Machine from CD/DVD

  
  I have 5.5 installed ESXi but I can't mount CD/DVD, it tells me that it is supported. I think it's down for not having installed IDE or SCSI device.

• 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.

• Could not power on VM: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NOT_FOUND.

  Hi all

  I am myself preparing the review of the VCP5-DCA, and I build my personal testlab, to try some functions where I need to improve.

  At the moment I have following configuration:

  3 x ESXi host: 10.0.0.20 - 10.0.0.22
  1 x NFS server (Linux) - 10.0.0.30
  1 x AD (Windows) - 10.0.0.10
  1 x VCC (Windows) - 10.0.0.11

  Network works perfectly between machines. All machines are virtual machines on VMware Worstation 10.

  All hosts in ESXi 3 are 5.5(Build 1331820). I exported 3 NFS shares on the NFS server and mounted on all hosts in ESXi 3 they are writable:

  C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware CLI\bin vSphere >list of esxcli s ESXi1 u root nfs storage

  Enter the password:

  Volume name host share Accessible mounted read-only hardware acceleration

  NFS2 nas.tntwrk.info/nfs/2 true true false not supported

  NFS2 nas.tntwrk.info/nfs/2 true true false not supported

  NFS3 nas.tntwrk.info/nfs/3 true true false not supported

  
  

  On the NFS in Linux server, I exported all NFS as follows:

  / nfs/1	10.0.0.0/24(RW,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
  / nfs/2	10.0.0.0/24(RW,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)
  / nfs/3	10.0.0.0/24(RW,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,async)

  There is sufficient disk space on all hard drive partitions that are exported via NFS (I also checked use of IO-nodes, and it is about 1%):

  File system	Size used available use % mounted on
  / dev/sdb	99G 1.1 G 93 2% / nfs/1
  / dev/sdc	99G 62 M 94 G 1% / nfs/2
  / dev/sdd	99G 62 M 94 G 1% / nfs/3

  Now, I created VM1 and wanted to turn it on, but I'm getting following error:

  An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM VM1.

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Has no power on the virtual machine.

  Could not power on VM: msg.vmk.status.VMK_NOT_FOUND.

  Cannot create the file ' / VM1/./VM1-fcddfe96.vswp': not found

  
  VM1 have no reservation of memory and is configured to have 512 MB, so I expect to have 1 file swap with 512 MB in size.

  When I inspect the VM1 log file I see following:

  Cluster is configured to store the files for the Exchange as well as virtual machines (default settings), so I guess that it is having problem to create the swap file on NFS.

  Cluster is configured for HA, HA data warehouses are: NFS1 and NFS3 (I think that this information is not relevant, but I wanted to highlight).

  Do you have ideas where the problem may be?

  Finally I had time to check this problem more deeply and discovered this problem came from the fact that I had 2 ports attached to the same subnet (vmk0 for mgmt, vMotion) and vmk1 for IP VMkernel and them configured with IPs: 10.0.0.20 and 10.0.0.100. When I removed the vmk1 and restarted host all started working as expected.

  It was similar to the challenges question with multiple VMkernel Ports on the same subnet. Insider - Articles VMware VMware support.

  I wasn't expecting it is a question that I have configured the NAS server to connect with whole subnet 10.0.0.0/24, so same 10.0.0.100 was allowed to use the datastore NFS, bot for some reason any it was causing problems.

• Turn on the computer virtual fails - "could not power on VM: not found".

  Hi guys and girls,

  I'm running a server relatively low with ESXi 4.0.0 running a SBS 2008 Standard VM as well as a couple of XP machines virtual for line inherited from enterprise applications.

  Today, one of the disks in RAID-6 went offline and was replaced, after verifying the integrity of the RAID and the ESXi server restart seems to load normally, and could be connected to via vSphere.

  I noticed that the SBS comments had not begun where was the XP guest.

  I tried to manually start the virtual machine and received the following 95% error message:

  «Could not power on VM: not found.» Unable to power on the virtual machine.

  Failure is classified in Server events:

  "Cannot be lit on localhost in ha-data center." "A general error has occurred:

  Alas, I'm new on ESXi and most of the aid is managed by my hardware vendor which is currently unavailable.

  I tried to remove the virtual machine from the inventory and re-enrollment without success.

  All files appear intact on the data store.

  Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  I try to create a new virtual machine and configure it to use the existing hard since your SBS server disks.  Maybe the .vmx has been corrupted?  The file vmware.log in the directory that the virtual machine is could give more information on what is not found.  Use the data store browser to download the file to your w/s.

  Is it really "sort of" loading ie 42% or which is a total failure?

  OK, I have a build that WORKED, now I see what you mean about watching build/deploy the VM guest.

  Here is the solution to my problem: our vcenter uses names with spaces, we also use the domain names for our connections. In addition, each admin password was 'special characters', that I've debugged meticulously by ALL of them and much more. Basically, it did not matter that I have "URL" code things, used new tools or edited different scripts to encode things one way or another.

  What finally gave us successes was to go to a 'clean' Vcenter implementation that

  (a) use/did not require a domain name (not / credentials)

  (b) all had the "BACK original' legal names, IE no spaces, no special characters, etc..

  (c) the passwords contained NO "special characters".

  (because I changed this way, 'URL' encoding didn't work, tried it)

  Moral of the story: building a new, simply configured Vcenter or get one and use it.

  (Note: I even downloaded a new ovftool and tried every way that I could but it did not success)
