• How to change the vmdk in another data store

  for my vm four disks are there I want to increase disk capacity but there is no space on the data store

  Hello

  Solution is that you must change the drive to another data store and increase space.

  First findout in spatial data store is avaialble.

  Select the virtual machine and migration - migration datastore - Advanced - click the drive on which you want to increase space - browse - choose data store where space is available - finishing

  After migration - more space.

• Moving a disk of the user in another data store

  Hello!

  I have an office pool that is used by a few users and now I discovered, as i wan't to upgrade the user drives my Netapp file server to use snapshots on them. Is there a way to move a disc of the user to its current location on the same os drive data store was a new data store?

  I know that I can put in place a new pool, but let the user discs when I do this, so this isn't an option.

  Anyone know how I can keep my user records, moving them to another data store?

  Currently a UDD cannot be moved the data to be backed up and restored. Alternatively, you can also turn on roaming profiles have the connection of the user in two places, once everything is in place, turn them off.

• displacement of the VM in another data store

  Hello

  We organize 2 5.5 vSphere hosts (VMware vSphere Essentials 5 Licensed for 2 processors (unlimited cores per processor) physical.)

  One of our data warehouses has insufficient free space on the disk.

  I'd be happy if someone could give me a little advice what is the best way to move or copy a virtual machine in another data store.

  Already, I read after KB, but he has not understood completely.

  VMware KB: Move or copy a virtual machine in a VMware environment

  Your screenshot shows that you are on the right track.

  As soon as you have turned off the virtual computer the

  dimmed options get turned on even on the essential.

• Create a drive to another data store virtual computer

  ESX 3.5 Cluster 2 nodes - all VM are Windows Server 2003

  I can't remember the number of update.

  Subsystem of disk for data warehouses are 4 Gb Fibre

  2 data warehouses:

  datastore1 = SAS drives

  datastore2 = MDL (SATA)

  Name of the virtual machine to add the new drive: GOOFY

  I have this a GOOFY VM in need of a new 100 GB drive attached to it. The VM GOOFY lies in datastore1. The new drive should be created in the datastore2 beacuase it's static data. No change in the files, basically just to read the data of documents high IO performance is not necessary.

  How do I do that?

  Temporarily, I have created a virtual machine called GOOFY_D with this size of attached to the new 100GB.vmdk and assigned to the new drive as the "D:" drive and DINGO and removed from the virtual machine to inventory. It works but I want to do it properly.

  Yes, it was the way of "Mickey Mouse" to do, but hey, it works!... for now.

  Thank you

  I don't have access to a test environment for the moment. However. If you are only asked for the data store, it should automatically create a folder with the name of the virtual machine on this datatstore.

• Snapshot in another data store

  Buenas:

  The duda siguiente Tengo. Quiere realize instant of las MVs as estos pero no almacenen en el to Datastore donde estan las maquinas, ya almacenadas if pierdo el fisico tambien perderia los instant disco.

  ¿Hay alguna forma instant este Quebec is almacen en otro Datastore trabalho a otro discos fisicos? ¿Mediante you can con hacer el Schelude tasks vcenter?

  Aelbaz como estas?

  Coincided don't con Ferrer in Quebec no you serve para nada los Snapshots TR breaks el disco fisico, leaves the lo that comentaron, perform a Snapshot y leave como trabajo modo not ecomendable're, is that the VM is vuelve performing poco don't y con deltas large muy, por the cual no if backup, como seria util , are util para realize cambios y TR goods hurt volver al estado as Niños ago.

• Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

  Hi all

  Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

  Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

  Require some VM downtime?

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

  1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

  2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

  3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

  When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• VM to the another data store

  Can someone tell me how I can move a virtual machine from a to another data store?  I get cold?  Or can it be done live?  I have esxi embedded and a san, equallogic for my configuration of vmware (with VMware infrastructure).

  SVMotion is the best way, it's a live migration.  You can do this through the RCLI or GUI.  For me, the graphical interface is better.

  Here's a good way for:

• Unable to scp - r of the local data store a host to another data store local host

  Using PuTTY to connect to the host server

  Running command to copy VM to a data store to another data store (the two DS hosted locally on 2 different servers)

  Error: are different major versions of Protocol: 2 vs 1

  -J' tried confirmed that the only protocol on two host servers are defined in Protocol No. 1 and as I use Putty I have the Protocol in 1 also, but the same error occurs.

  1 - Check the SSH configuration on both sides and compare... (/ etc/ssh/sshd_config)

  The remote server will only accept v2 connections and you try to do

  a connection v1. So either enable support of the v1 on the remote side. Or use

  keys v2 and id_rsa/id_dsa.

  2. check the versions ESX & patch level you used on both sides (ESX 3 xx build xxx)

  3 - also, you can check ssh version of protocol running rpm - qa | grep openssh.

  Good luck!

• Lack of space in the unable to consolidate data store, what can I do now?

  Hi all:

  Today, a single server VM was off because of the latest snapshot of veeam.

  I wen to vm machine to the Snapshot Manager and delete the snapshot.

  After you remove the server has been started and it seems that everything is OK except the message this need of consolidation server.

  I tried to regroup, but when I try to consolidate, it shows me this error

  An error occurred in consolidating the discs: msg.disklib.NOSPACE.

  After trial of vmware knowledge base I'm cloning virtual machine in another data store that is has a bit more space (temporary) so I test if it works this VM cloned as the original.

  I have a few questions. the original VM is up and runing correctly... but I don't know what to do next, please can you help me?

  1. I can move the original VM to another store of data with more than one space the machine consolidate? or it's very risky?

  2 I can always use the actual virtual machine without group until I have buy new data store and the passage to the new data store and consolidate? or maybe to clone the virtual machine to the new data store and remove them the old VM?

  3º if the cloned version works like the original VM machine, I guess I can pass version clone production and delete the virtual machine no consolidated this original data store?

  Kind regards

  There's nothing uncommon to 'Migrate' computer virtual data to another store. With Essentials it will unfortunately take time out well (without live migration of storage available).

  In any case, the cloning should also work. The clone will get however a new address UUID and MAC, (i.e. you may need to reconfigure the network), and the cloned VM will get a new ID of virtual machine, which can be important if you use a virtual machine based backup application. However, cloning does not touch the source, so if something does not work as expected you still have the source available.

• Move a virtual machine in another data store

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• Inability to create the snapshot (General error) - need help

  Hello

  Since 3 days, snapshot is no longer working with one of my VM (is a production machine).

  Vsphere Client 5.5.0 I got a General in vSphere Client error when I do a snapshot. In management of snapshot section, I see no snapshot

  but when I go into the directory of the virtual machine by ssh is to see that below (there are a few photos...)

  I tried to create the snapshot with and without the data from the memory, but it always the same effect. (Snapshot is taken with the virtual machine is turned on).

  • What am I trying to consolidate the disk? Is it safe?
  • Can someone help me?

  Thanks in advance,

  I found the problem

  Some VM had a disc mounted in vSphere. It worked until last week, don't know why this problem only appears now.

  After you have disconnected the CD, 'manage the snapshot' list still empty, I clicked on consolidate first, after that, back to 'manage the snapshot' and my snapshots

  appeared. And last step, I deleted this snapshot for merge all...

  Maybe this will help someone else...

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

• How do I cancel the mapping of a data store of esxi host without data loss

  Dear team,

  I want to cancel a data store that is mapped on two cluster mapping (cluster1 10 esxi host and cluster2 esxi 4 guests)

  
  

  
  

  Query1

  What step will be OK

  Disassemble = > detach = > start the activity of storage (storage poweroff) movement = > move the storage = > poweron = > join = > mounting

  or

  Disassemble = > detach = > team san will cancel the mapping = > start the activity of storage (storage poweroff) movement = > move the storage = > poweron = > san team will map the data store = > join = > mount

  Query2:

  Once I sail, I am able to see vpshere ha and dvs folder data, I just want to confirm if I want to take it apart and to separate the data store it will allow me to do it or it will throw an error, please confirm.

  Query3:

  If we remove and detach a data store, before that I have to cancel the registration of all the virtual machines?
