• Total amount of storage in the data center

  I'm trying to get a script that will give me the whole total amount of space used in a data center. I want to launch against the center of data from virtual centres. There is a total of approximately 1900 of virtual machines and virtual machine is distributed among several LUNS. I need to get the overall figure for a migration.

  PS: I want to get the numbers in GB instead of megabytes and I also want it spits out a report in .csv on my local machine (c:\scripts\xxxx.csv)

  
  

  
  

  Thank you guys.

  I'm afraid that it won't work by changing just the data center-Get Get-cluster.

  The reason is the cmdlet Get-data store later in the script, on the location setting it only accepts the data center objects, folder and DatastoreCluster.

  But with a little small change, we can get it to work for clusters as well.

  Get-Cluster | Select Name,@{N="Storage Used (GB)";E={  $sum = Get-Datastore -RelatedObject (Get-VMHost -Location $_) |   where {$_.ExtensionData.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -and $_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |  Measure-Object -Property CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB -Sum  [Math]::Round($sum[0].Sum - $sum[1].Sum,2)}} |Export-Csv c:\scrpits\xxxxx.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

• Report on the use of data store based on cluster (not data center)

  Hello

  I want to create separate HTML reports for each cluster I have in my virtual Center. I've created a script, but it doesn't seem to work. This script creates outputs separated from HTML based on clusters, but all the files have the same data, i.e. all data that are available in the Vcenter stores. How can I separate them with regard to the cluster in which they are assigned to the place?

  in:

• Need to create a report across data center that summarizes each cluster

  I created a few reports of various kinds, layers to multiple views and used filters for will only display me specific data.  However, I don't find a way to summarize or failure, a report by a resource of the child.

  To be precise, I'm looking to get information about the data at the data center or vCenter level stores, grouped by cluster.  Currently, I can obviously pull 53 different reports and getting these data on a per-cluster basis, but I want to be able to do is have a summary of each cluster in a single report.  Currently, the report is perfectly functional vcenter down to a host, but it displays each individual data store and the summary only I can give is all grouped together, and is not an indication that data warehouses are in clusters.

  Is there a way to do this?

  I would like that the report looks simply:

  Data Center

  Group 1

  Data warehouses

  Summary

  Group 2

  Data warehouses

  Summary

  and so on...

  I am currently on vROps 6.1.

  You can do things with the summary views and the bubble to the top a few statistics by using Supermetrics in some cases, but the possibilities for nesting are today a bit limited in terms of nesting of data visually in views. Of data are what kind of data from the warehouses you trying to show?

• Mix the virtual switch different type in a Cluster and a data center.

  Can I mix standard virtual switch and a virtual switch distributed in different hosts to a Cluster/DataCenter? Can I vMotion virtual machine to a host of switch distributed to a host of standard switch and vice versa? Let's assume that the hosts have the same port group name (but have virtual swaitch different type), in the same data center, and have the same subnet IP vMotion.

  You can mix standard switches and distributed, that's what we call hybrid architecture... but to be able to migrate virtual machines between virtual switches, you must the vSphere 6 and again there are some limitations, like not be able to migrate from VDS vs.

• Renaming of data center, Cluster and Datastore in Evo's default object names

  Hello

  The data center, Cluster and vSAN Datastore objects in my Evo device newly installed all default to the label of 'MARVIN-... ». Is it safe to rename the appropriate labels to my environment, such as a location for my data center object? I suspect that it is not serious because the underlying UID will not change, but am looking for confirmation of a person who did successfully in a laboratory or production environment and who also managed to apply the patches of Evo subsequently.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, it is safe to rename these object types - Evo uses values of managed reference numbers (moref) object for the object of theses types - so that they are safe rename...

  The thing to keep away the trade of system generated for VMotion, VSAN, Marvin and management network. By all means, feel free to add other VM exchanges...

• Cluster license SRM only 1 in a data center

  Hello

  I am using proc license at the moment and in vCenter by I have a data center with 2 groups. One of the clusters is protected with SRM and the other has no protected VMs.

  However, I can't license SRM as it tries to concede the two groups (both are listed as computing resources in the SRM inventory) and tell me I have insufficient licenses. I've only licenses for Cluster 1, as it is the only one with protected VM. Is it possible to exclude Cluster 2.

  Thank you

  I think that your new installation of MIS 4.1 expects you to enter by VM license key, that's why you get an error.

  You have two options:

  1. convert your vm socket key. Before you do, make sure that you get enough licenses to protect the whole of the VMs. rate Convertion is 1 socket to 5 VMs. BTW, you will not be able to buy other licenses taken by if you want to expand your cluster.

  2 contact VMware support. They managed to solve the problem which is very similar to yours: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1656134#1656134

• Conversion virtual cluster SQL 2000 to 2 knots to a data center different

  Hello

  I want to use VMware converter to migrate the virtual SQL 2000 cluster of 2 nodes existing to a different data center.

  Existing cluster is on the same ESX Server. A 2-disc shared: quorum disks and data.

  After that, I'll send to synchronize the data in logs.

  can anyone provide details, best practices, concerns on how to do it?

  If this is the only SQL server, I just set up a new SQL to the DR server and then manually import all the information from the database. P2V a server cluster with player quorum and etc is a delicate bif.

• Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

  Hi all

  I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

  This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

  Thanks in advance.

  You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

• Moving Cluster to new data center and move ASM Lun

  Hello
  
  My question is for an upcoming project. We want to grow our three existing node on our other data Center cluster. Servers will be moved and would re - ip, but Oracle, CRS and ASM houses remain intact.
  
  We have our ASM on EMC Clariion disks. The idea is to use EMC Replication Manager to replicate the LUNS on EMC Clarion in the other data center and to present them to the cluster.
  
  My question is if it looks like a valid plan, or I think to simplistic?
  
  Will keep it even replicated LUN the ASM disk identity and data in order to be recognized and available in start?
  
  In addition, in order to minimize downtime, we want to move a single node of the cluster first, then others do appear later.
  
  Thanks for your opinions.

  Hello

  To replicate ASMDISK success, all databases in the Diskgroup must be down or in backup mode.
  Replication starts with the online database (IE database in backup mode hot) needs attention, because all data/redo/controlfile files will be copied in use (i.e. corrupt), be necessary will perform database recovery.

  I think that you already have this doc, but I write anyway.

  The plan seems good.

• Migration Oracle RAC to the new data center

  Hi all

  We are 'legacy' Oracle 11 G RAC cluster from another company and I am looking for a way to migrate with the minimum of downtime. Our team has no CARS, nor database administrator Oracle also experience.

  We intend to test the migration by cloning the environment a few weeks before and just see if everything is OK.

  Question is, what is the best way to migrate this RAC cluster and it's data to a new data center? Reinstallation of the operating system (Linux) and recreate the RAC cluster are not an option I want to examine.

  For example, in the land of SQL Server, we can use sending newspapers or replication to keep a copy of the database in the new data center as close as possible direct database (data-wise). Date of commissioning, we stop the direct instance, run last restore log or something else, then set up the databases on the new data center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Data Guard. It is the name of "log shipping" feature Oracle. It's probably closer to always on SQL Server availability groups, except that the Oracle database is a large group.

  I speak not Active Data Guard which is an extra cost that gives options on top of Data Guard.

  HTH,

• [OEM CC 12r4] Multi data center facility

  Hi all

  I am designing a new Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (r4) environment. We want (in the Center) manage about 40 groups CARS with global data protection. Approximately 30 clusters are located in Europe (spread over 2 data centers), 15 United States and 5 in Asia. Currently, we only use OEM for the administration database and monitoring (patch management, backup, etc.). We will not use the LCM pack deployment and automation still. I have a few questions:

  1. Is it possible to manage all clusters in all parts of a central OEM environment? Or with a single panel of glass with decentralized OEM case?
  2. Is it possible to configure the agent on a cluster of CARS to have a primary and a secondary OEM?
  3. Is there information available of the amount of traffic that will be generated for alerts and performance indicators? Why I ask this question is because two data centers are within a radius of 10 miles and we want to know what the charge will be between our data centers.

  Kind regards

  Bart

  Hi Bart,.

  I had quite similar requirements for a comprehensive implementation of Enterprise Manager. It is not a problem to manage targets in different parts of a central Enterprise Manager. Using servers in decentralized with a repository management central is not a good idea, because latency between the database server and the application should not be more than 1 m, application servers and the database must be in the same data center.

  You cannot configure Oracle Agents to work with two different OEM. Theoretically, you could have two agents Installations on a single server, using two directories of different base Agent and two different ports that are configured for two different SGD servers. But this cause configuration would increase consumption of resources for the follow-up on the server and could have strange side effects. For example, some of the events for the databases are collected directly from database (metric push) views and the Agent Oracle insert the thresholds required for monitoring directly in the database. If the two OEMS have different threshold settings, an OEM could view events without thresholds or unable to get events, even if the thresholds are set for the metric. It is that Agent did the last update for the thresholds in the database.

  There is no generic answer for traffic between the Agent and the management server. The amount of data depends on your settings. You can turn off the metric collections or increase the interval between two collections to reduce traffic.

  I hope my answer will help a little to find the right design for you Enterprise Manager environment.

  Kind regards

• Failed to create the gateway for virtual data center edge

  Hello

  I'm new to the vCD, when I tried to create a "bridge of edge" for the virtual data center, it failed, saying:

  Deployment of edge gateway PALEdgeGateway has failed.

  com.vmware.vcloud.fabric.nsm.error.VsmException: error response VSM (10105): could not publish configuration on vShield Edge. Has no power on VM vse-PALEdgeGateway (66b92dc1-c973-4744-8c0e-88e2d2211eae)-0. (No host is compatible with virtual machine).

  then I found this KB, suspecting that vShield that Manager is not synchronized with vCD:

  http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2060542

  I followed the steps in this KB resolution, but still did not work.

  Does anyone have an idea? Thank you very much!

  (We use vCloud Director 5.5.0 1323688, vSphere Client 5.5.0 1281650)

  Hi FredrickGu,

  Really sorry for the late reply. Our working hours doesn't seem to be the same.

  You are right that VShield Manager & POSSIBLE are the same. You will be able to deploy the Cluster edges & host view,

  Select a resource of data centers in the inventory tree, click the visualization of network tab and click the + to add edges. Ensure that we test the edge deployment against a successful VCD Host.If deployment works, it confirms the deployment of edge is certainly intact and communication POSSIBLE-host is very well.
