Creating a new Cluster data store

• Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

  How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

  I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

  Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

  Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

• Question about the creation of cluster data store

  I'm running vSphere 5.1 and want to enable storage Drs before as I have create the cluster data store, I was reading through VMware vSphere 5.1, but don't see any confirmation when I add data to the cluster storage, the virtual machines using these storage of data is not affected.

  Can anyone confirm that the addition of a data to a data cluster store store has no impact on virtual machines running?

  Thank you.

  You can add and remove data warehouses in a cluster of data with VMS running store.

• Bay of Cluster data store turns into a string?

  I am very new to the vCO (or maybe I should call vRO now) and therefor also very new to script and digging through the API, so I apologize if this is a bit of a noob question.

  I'm currently running below script to find the data store cluster to a cluster host with more available space.

  However, I also want to check for the text in the name of the data store. For this I use indexOf.

  If indexOf detects all matches, it should add the DSC (or pod) in a table.

  But it seems that this operation turns my array into a string.

  Because it is a new environment I have only a DSC connected to the cluster hosts, but I still think that it should be able to be an array with a single value?

  Find the Cluster and related variables

  var hostarray = System.getModule ("com.vmware.library.vc.cluster") .getAllHostSystemsOfCluster (inCluster);

  Host = hostarray [0];

  pool = inCluster. ResourcePool;

  level of var = 'High';

  Find warehouses of data in Cluster

  var = host.datastore data warehouses;

  Find Clusters of Cluster data store

  var storagePods = new Array();

  var storagePodNames = new Array();

  for (d in data warehouses) {

  if (data [d].parent.vimType warehouses is "StoragePod") {

  if (storagePodNames.indexOf (datastores [d].parent.name) < = - 1). {

  storagePodNames.push (datastores [d].parent.name);

  storagePods.push (datastores [d] .parent);

  }

  }

  }

  System.log (' storagePods: ' + storagePods [0].) Summary.freeSpace);

  Find Clusters corresponding to the layer data store

  var podTierArray = new Array();

  for each {(var pod in storagePods)

       if (pod.name.indexOf (tier) > = 0) {

  podTierArray += pod;

  }

  }

  podTierArray becomes a string instead of table after above operation :(((

  System.log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray [0]);

  System .log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray);

  Here is the result of the above script:

  [12:24:27.307 2015-02-27] [I] storagePods: 4497773428736

  [12:24:27.308 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: D

  [12:24:27.310 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: DynamicWrapper (Instance): [VcDatastore]-[class com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.VimDatastore] - VALUE: < datastore-386 > Datastore 'high Datastore01 '.

  
  

  I'm guessing that "D" is the first character in the string (which should be an array), which is also attested by the third row of the output when I print the entire string.

  Because this time is a string I can't use it as an object, for example "podTierArray. Summary.freeSpace' give me an error that it is a property not set.
  

  In addition, as you can see earlier when I use the variable ""storagePods "this is a picture I have run the podTierArray. "

  
  

  Why would he suddenly become a string instead of an array of objects?
  

  Hi Oskar,

  It happens because of this line in your code

  podTierArray += pod;
  

  This is not the right way to add the element in a table. You need to take it

  podTierArray.push(pod);
  

• remove the Cluster data store data store

  I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Cluster data store

  Currently we have a number of data warehouses VMStore_Live1 at 8, recently we had a data store to fill and this due to a problem with some of the virtual machines running in our direct environment.

  I had a thought on the use of cluster data store so storage DRS would be used between data warehouses, we are currently using NetApp, would be one of your recommend using cluster data store? or is there some catch with this?

  We have a host with DRS and HA cluster, but at the moment we have just warehouses of separate data which manually migrate us vm.

  Yes,

  We have two modes:

  1 manual load balancing

  2. automatic load balancing

  We do not have partially automated our way to BLAH DRS cluster.

  Note that: automated initial investment is excluded in both modes: DTS generates a recommendation of initial investment which still requires a manual confirmation.

• How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store?

  How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store? I mean the command line option.

  Hello

  by command line, you mean PowerCLI?

  If so, you can display data with this warehouses:

  Get-DatastoreCluster-name DSClustername | Get-Datastore

• Towards a new VM data store

  I have ESXi installed 4.  All management is done through the VSphere Client - no vCenter, no vMotion.

  We have installed additional storage and created a new data store.  Now, I want to move a fully functional virtual machine to the new data store.

  I'm naïve to believe that I can stop the virtual computer, use Explorer storage to copy files to the new data store, save it and fire successfully?

  A few messages before indicate problems with snapshots.  The virtual machine in question has a snapshot, but fortunately, we can he lose if it will cause a problem.

  This works.

  You can use the console not supported (ALT + F1) - type unsupported and Enter - root password

  You can use Veeam FastSCP to copy to the new location.

  You can use the converter to copy to the new location.

• Clone a virtual machine to a Cluster data store

  Hello

  Really simple (hopefully), but I'm trying to write a workflow that includes the provision of a virtual computer to a cluster of data store. I'm a link to the workflow 'Clone the virtual machine, no customizations' that only accepts a store of input data.

  I hope that I am a bit stupid here and there is a simple answer?

  Thank you.

  There is no simple answer.  DRS clusters are actually a set of rules and not a real thing, you can deploy a VMDK.  I suggest to use Onyx to deploy a virtual computer to a DRS cluster and see what it generates.  If I remember correctly, it executes DRS rules to get a recommendation for where to put a VMDK fundamentally and then uses the exit in order to actually deploy the model.

  I opted to write just a simple workflow that finds the data store with the most of freespace that corresponds to a string - for example, if I have a DRS cluster named DSCluster_ugabuga, I have a lot of data stores named something like "ugabuga... ».  So you ask these storages of data and find the one which most freespace.

• Issue of Cluster data store

  Hello

  Is it possible to have 4 ESXi clusters, each with their own set of SAN data warehouses, all joined to a Cluster of unique data store? I have not found exactly this configuration described anywhere. I understand there are limitations such as 32 data etc. stores and paths to data warehouses will be available from certain hosts.

  Has anyone tried this before? I'm trying to simplify investment VM for Cloud management platform.

  Thank you

  Mike

  This is a supported configuration, and I have a few clients that are running this configuration without problem. Have a look here for details: linking DRS multiple clusters in a single Storage DRS datastore cluster. - frankdenneman.nl

• New local data store: available space much less ability to space

  We have just added as 4 * 1 TB disks in RAID 5. This gives us 2.73 TB of usable space. When I go to add the new data store (local disks) it says 2.73 TB of capacity, 746 GB available. What gives? I said to make it block size of 8MB on the next prompt but made no difference? The same disks were earlier in a RAID of 10 and who gave the full amount he (1.8 to or more). These discs are completely empty and I even deleted and then recreated the RAID using the option of compensation to you make sure that there is absolutely nothing on them.

  He is sitting on a controller, IBM ServeRAID 8 k with the latest firmware. Even the fault too with a firmware much earlier (updated today to be sure that it was not a hardware problem).

  See the attachment for screenshot.

  ESX has a limit of 2 TB drive.

  Divide your RAID group to 2 smaller logical drives.

• Cluster data store information

  Hi - I was wondering if someone has a script that can detail the following information .in one table...

  Name of the cluster - & gt; Name of the store data - & gt; Total size - & gt; Free space - & gt; % used space

  I have 2 groups where the data store names are the same in each cluster. I would like a way to be able to see who have warehouses of data 15% or less of free space and the data store cluster that belongs to.

  If anyone can help with that would be great

  concerning

  Chris

  We cannot use the cmdlet WHer-Object here since we don't test in a pipe.

  But a simple if statement with the StartsWith method should do the trick.

  Something like this:

  $report = @()
  
  Get-Cluster $clusterName | Get-View | % {
       foreach($dsMoRef in $cluster.Datastore){
            $ds = Get-View -Id $dsMoRef
            if(-not $ds.Info.Name.StartsWith("LOCAL")){
                 $row = "" | Select Cluster, Datastore, Size, Free, UsedPercentage
                 $row.Cluster = $cluster.Name
                 $row.Datastore = $ds.Info.Name
                 $row.Size = $ds.Info.Vmfs.Capacity
                 $row.Free = $ds.Info.FreeSpace
                 $row.UsedPercentage = "{0:N2}" -f (($row.Size - $row.Free)/$row.Size * 100)
                 $report += $row
            }
       }

• Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store

  Hello

  Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.

  Thank you

  Astra

  Looks like he needs a store of data for this parameter object. So we need to do a get Datastore cluster I can try to test tomorrow, but try this:

  If ($datastore1 - only 'none') {}

  $drscluster = get-DatastoreCluster $datastore1

  $vmadddsk = new-disk-hard - VM $gstname CapacityKB - $datastore1size - data $drscluster store

  }

• How to ensure that "" is not creating a studio ODI data store. ?

  Hi Expertise,

  While I creates a store of DATA (TABLE) in the studio of the ODI, I have created a table name with quotes Double for the table as example 'TABLE_NAME'.

  Is there a method to get rid of this. ?
  At the studio of ODI, it does not show the name of the table with the quotes, but when I'm trying to see a TOAD, I get the quotes.

  Can someone help me on this. ?
  I can't do "' to the table I create in the studio of ODI.

  Thank you

  Hi Shakur,

  Go to the topology-> Oracle technology-> language (tab)-> delete quotes under object delimiter, and advance to the next field to ensure that the change is made, then save.
