• Creation of VM in local ESXi datastore for the backup of the data SAN with VMXNet 3 VM store

  Hi all

  I would like to know how you have configured your server to backup as a virtual machine?

  My idea is to use the local data VMFS3 store on my 3 x ESXi servers,

  by installing the application of part 3 (such as Veeam Backup 5 or Backup Exec 2010) in Windows Server 2008 R2 VM

  equipped with size of very big hard drive (OS 8 GB + 1 TB VMDK data partition) on each of the local data store to save the computer virtual within the SAN.

  What I have:

  VMware vSphere essential 4 - ESXi 4.0 (not hot add)

  Dell Power Edge 2950 with 2.5 to multiple VMFS3 extended on top - RAID 5 (6 x 500 GB SATAII 7200 RPM)

  Reference Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN on Gigabit Ethernet

  The configuration of the Windows Server 2008 R2 VM:

  2 x CPU @ 2.33 GHz

  4 GB OF RAM

  VMXNet3 NIC-> for better connectivity to the backup between the local data store ESXi and iSCSI-SAN data store.

  Here's the reason why I'm doing this is that:

  1. I don't have the additional NETWORK card to connect my physical server in iSCSI SAN THAT switch, so I can't use - SAN backup mode.

  2. I only use the available lowest VMware license that can't stand the Hot-add the device function.

  Would it be an optimal configuration?

  Any kind of help and suggestion to implement backup VM VM would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  From what I see of you think to do, you will get no advantage of using the VMXNET3 NIC, compared using an e1000 NIC... All your traffic will be on the connections of 1 GB, because you're leaving SAN local disk... If you had the VM on the SAN, or the same storage, the VMXNET3 NIC were going at speeds of internal circulation (could get you better than 1 GB, but I advise to test before committing)...

  In addition, you will not be able to use a volume of OS 8 GB in Server 2008 R2... Bare minium is 32 GB (use plus 40 GB, which is that vSphere will use when you tell him to 2008 R2 for the operating system of the virtual machine)...

• My verse ATT modem (non apple devices to use this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs Time Capsule use) via ethernet Uverse.) Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  My verse ATT modem ({use of devices not apple wifi of this modem} is connected to the ATT line, Time Capsule (iPhones, Macs use the wifi of the time Capsule) and connect to the Uverse modem via ethernet.)

  Both devices are set to the highest security and each uses separate passwords.

  Non apple devices can collect data from iPhones or Mac using the time Capsule?

  With a bit of work by someone who knows how to do such things, not Apple computers could read some files on the Mac if file sharing is configured on the network... devices non-Apple and... He knew the device passwords or administrator for Macs.

  Mac could also play the files on other Macs if file sharing has been implemented and the device password or admin was known.

  If you ask if a PC can read the files on the Time Capsule, the answer is Yes, without doubt, assuming that the PC knew the password of device for the time Capsule.

• Access the task using the CLI

  I created a group that has access to the work in the console of the server.

  I ran the CLI work using a user associated with this group and its launch a object remote "jobs Manager" is not allowed (Code: 7 060) exception.

  Y at - it no other access that must be granted to the group in order to allow the privilege of the user running the CLI work?

  Or is it only the dnadmin user who can perform the work in the CLI?

  You can also advice how jobs are executed in CLI using encrypted password?

  The approval of the Director job: run is also necessary.

  To summarize, the following permissions are required to run the task using the CLI:

  • The job in the Console of the server
  • Job: run to the Director
  • The system administration
  • Access to the project folder containing the task

• Download app using the cli

  I was wondering if it is possible to use the CLI to download an application in a local folder, after that it was made using generation phonegap?  Basically, I made an application using phonegap to build that I can download on the link on the page generate or the QR code.  I would really like to be able to download the .apk file, for example using something like ' curl https://build.phonegap.com/apps/2235530/download/android myApp.apk - O'.  Does anyone know if this can be done?

  I think I have it solved.  The returned html code using curl end in / android gives a link - using curl again with this link, remove anything after the? in the connection succeeds.  Well thank you anyway for your suggestion/help!

• ESXi: creation of data store

  has obtained ESXi installed 5.1.

  have a couple of questions regarding the creation of a data store. My VM will reside on a synology 1512 +. the NAS has active windows and NFS file system.

  When I create the data store by using NFS, I just enter the IP address of the NAS and shared folder path (mount point)?

  I need to create a store of data by VM?

  can I import my existing virtual machines after that the data store is created?

  TIA

  No, you can have several VM in a single warehouse NFS. Simply storage vMotion virtual machine on your newly commissioned data store.

• the maximum size of the data store in ESXi 4

  as I don't have a lot of space left on my data vmfs3 store, plans to add a 3 TB of HDD to the ESXi 4.1 Host. I will then use the new HDD for a creation of a new data store.

  I also want to ensure that the block size is the same as the existing data store.

  Please notify.

  Thank you.

  The maximum size of the LUN/disk in this case is 2 TB less 512 bytes (see KB VMware: ESX/ESXi 3.x/4.x hosts don't support 2 TB LUN for more details). The maximum size of virtual disk with a block size of 4 MB, please take a look at the article I mentioned in my previous post.

• Can NOT see the data store after ESXi update host?

  Hi all

  We use the host ESXi 3.5 on DELL PE 2850 with RAID 5 local storage.  Today, I ran utility update for the host VMware and firmware updated BIOS and RAID on the host computer before a restart of the system.  After the reboot, the system correctly loads the operating system and when I check for storage, the data (with critical VM) store is missing.  Can not see that again.

  Please help me to recover my data with the virtual machines in her store.

  Thank you

  Nadine

  ESXi is installed on the same Partition RAID 5, which is located in the VMFS data store? for example. do you know that the partition is still intact?

  According to what the RAID firmware upgrade has done, it is possible that you may need to set the LVM. EnableResignature option 1 if the score ended with a new UUID.

• copy the iso in the data store? ESXi?

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if there is any way I can copy an iso image / a bone in the data store instead of use a disc to load it up.

  I use an esxi 3.5 hypervisor, I don't think it's possible, but I'm guessing that it might be a way.

  Please help.

  Thank you

  We will all live a virtual life...

  in the click of VIC on your ESXi host, then double click on the data store in which you want to download the iso, there is an option to download files...

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

  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?

• 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

  I have (2) 5.0 to aid a ESXI servers an ISCSI SAN that I increased the storage capacity on.  I see that I can increase the ability to store data in the Client VMware;  But I was wondering how this is done when there are (2) ESXI servers share the same SAN?

  Can I increase the storage in one or do I have to do the same for both?

  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.

• Error of creation of data store

  Hello world!

  I have a funny problem with a server, ESX4 U1: I have an HP MSA2000 FC array connected via a brocade switch to a cluster of 4 hosts ESX4. When I try to present a table logic unit number is larger than 2 TB to and hosts, the available size of the data store resulting is only 260 GB! If this LUN is smaller then 2 TB, everything is ok, and the data store using the entirety of the LUN. I've attached screenshots of my attempts to store data of 3,4 and 5 TB lun size.

  Someone has seen this? Any suggestions?

  Thanks for any help!

  Maximum supported LUN size is 2 TB minus 512 b. This means creating several volumes less than 2 TB each.

• Cannot remove the data store in esxi 3.5 - can help you

  OK - I have a problem. I messed up and now I'm stuck.

  I was "apparently" in the middle of a converter working, and I deleted the comments of esxi3.5, while the converter still worked.

  I selected the rafale and made a removal of the disc that worked, however the structure of associated file (windows 2000 Server) for this guest has not been deleted, so I chose my data store (datastore1) and - do you have a store of navigation data and when I try to delete the folder associated with the guest, I deleted I get the following error :

  "General failure caused by file" (with a "/" on the next line) and all I can do at this point is to click OK box to acknowledge the error and I can't delete the folder. I can't rename it either.

  I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to create a new client with the same name as the folder and delete the comments again, but that does not work either.

  I'm really stuck - I'm afraid to go into maintenance mode because I have no idea what I'm going to be confronted here since I never used the maintenance mode.

  any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

  You can try to do a refresh of the data store. The folder structure is not re read very often. In the data store Navigator, click the folder root on the left side and click on the Refresh button.
