Data store alarm will not go away

Hello

I'm getting an alarm warning on the view of the data store, using the store of data on disk.  I checked the definition of the alarm and the trigger is using the data store disc % is greater than 75.

IM assuming that this means that I'm using more than 75% of my storage.

However, it was indeed the case, I used the data for tests of VM store and used almost all the space.  But yesterday, I cleaned the store, removed the VM disk, checked the data store and it deleted.  IM using only about 10% of the storage now.  And Vcenter shows as having 752Gigs of free space, is only a data store 900 Gig.

I recognized the alarm, but it still gives me the warning.  My only option is to acknowledge, I can't reset it to green.

Am I misinterpreting the meaning of the alarm?  Or am I just missing something?

Thank you

Mike

Hello.

Alarms sometimes seem 'stuck' and the best way to dispel this is to disable the alarm, then turn it back on immediately.

Good luck!

    Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful to do a system restore.

    You will need to reinstall Firefox and delete the folder of the program Firefox (c:\Program FilesMozilla Firefox) before reinstalling a freshly downloaded version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Uninstall your current version of Firefox, if possible.

    • Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data, because all profile files will be deleted.

  • List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

    Hi guys

    PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

    I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses.

  • A red circle that appears when you miss a phone call will not go away? Any ideas?

    A red circle that appears when you miss a phone call will not go away? Any ideas?

    Hello

    If I am not mistaken, you see a red circle when you miss a phone call that you would like to go. If this is the case, you can simply open the app phone on your iPhone and wait 10 seconds, and then return to your home screen. In doing so, the iPhone think that you have viewed your missed calls, once you see the red circles will disappear. If you're still having problems, this can be a problem and a simple reboot will help. Here's how you can restart your iPhone:

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears
    • Drag the slider to turn off your iPhone
    • Once the iPhone is off, press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Data store Clusters does not

    I worked with one of the guys in another thread on get the script below works, but we used a work around on the section of the store of available data in a specific data store instead of a cluster data store.  While it will work on a functional level, it fills a particular DS extension and allow now the DTS select the implementation at deployment time.  Has anyone successfully supplied VMs in a cluster data store and may be able to give an overview on the excerpt below?

    $hshNewVMParams = @ {}

    Model = $strSourceTemplate

    Name = $strNewVMName

    # default pool of resources 'Resources', in order to put the desired cluster virtual machine

    ResourcePool = Get-Cluster $strSomeCluster | Get-ResourcePool-name 'resources '.

    Data store = "8000-10kSP1-LUN02.

    DiskStorageFormat = $strStorageFormat

    Location = Get-file $strDestinationFolder

    OSCustomizationSpec = Get-OSCustomizationSpec-name $strOurCustSpecName

    # Owner = $strVMNotes

    } # end s.a.s..

    # create new virtual machine

    $vmNewOne = new machine Virtuelle-@hshNewVMParams

    # define portgroup NIC and MAC addr

    $vmNewOne | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkName - $strSomePG - MacAddress $strNewMacAddr - confirm: $False | Owner of the whole Annotation-CustomAttribute-value $strVMOwner

    # Start the virtual machine

    Start-VM - VM $vmNewOne

    Update: after a few tries and a support call with VMware, I could get this to work with a few workaround solutions.

    1. the default action for a cluster of data (without specified DiskFormat) store, is to deploy the same format as the source.  I suspected this, but did not confirm until a few weeks ago.

    2. the VMware SDK engineer recommended running New - VM and specifying the format of disk, then Move-VM to have the DTS to implement its recommendations.

    $csv = "C:\ANT_VMs.csv" of import-Csv - UseCulture | %{

    {foreach ($line in $csv)

    # Connect to a vCenter

    SE connect-VIServer usddrmvctr1

    # Clone VM model

    $oNewVM = new-VM-name $_. Name - model $_. Model - ResourcePool (Get-Cluster $_.) Cluster | Get - ResourcePool - name 'Resources') - DiskStorageFormat $_. DiskFormat

    # Reconfigure VM

    $oNewVM | Get-NetworkAdapter | Together-NetworkAdapter - NetworkName $_. PortGroup-confirm: $false | Together-NetworkAdapter - MacAddress $_. MacAddress - StartConnected: $true - confirm: $false

    # Reconfigure VM

    $oNewVM | Move-VM - Datastore (Get-DatastoreCluster-Name $_.) Data store)

    # Owner of the Annotation set

    $oNewVM | Owner of the whole Annotation-CustomAttribute-value of $_. Owner

    #Power on VM

    Start-VM $oNewVM

    }

  • Kickstart: Local data store destroyed do not reinstall it

    I noticed that when I reinstall ESXi 5 on a server already built, the previous local data store is not destroyed.

    I said to make a 'install' and 'overwritevmfs '.

    install - firstdisk = mptsas, local - overwritevmfs

    in the upper part of the kickstart but the store of previous local data remains.

    I tried to use clearpart

    clearpart - alldrives - overwritevmfs

    Yet the local data store of the previous generation, as well.

    Part of my process of kickstart is to rename the store local data (datastore1) to a meaningful name that includes the hostname so if I reinstall, the data store rename fails (since there is no datastore1 on the 2nd install).  Also, I need to know the name of the data store, as I'm checking out the files ' / ' when installing (via oem.tgz) and move before the first reboot in the section post % (or they will be gone). The only persistent location is the local data store. This also effects kickstart for resettlement syslog that goes to the local data store as well.

    Suggestions on how do I delete a data store local existing during the installation (unless you delete the RAID and re-create)?

    -JC

    I wrote the following script to rename the local old data store ESXi 5.0 using Primo-kickstart script:

    install - firstdisk = hpsa, local - overwritevmfs

  • provisiond data store space does not match with the space of the VMs

    Hi guys,.

    I have the particular phenomenon on my cVenter environment. Space brought into service on data warehouses does not correspond with the really used capacity of the virtual machines.

    Details:
    VCenter: VMware vCenter 6.0.0 3634793
    ESXi: ESXi 5.5.0, 3568722
    Storage: The Netapp Cluster Mode
    NFS data warehouses

    Virtual machines allocate more space such as assigned. It could be 100% more space. There are no files that are responsible for this in the data store. We have allowed efficiency of storage which means on the Netapp deduplication.
    In the opinion of vCenter - the data store has a provisiond about 1 TB space and really about 550 GB space (space of each unique virtual machine).

    You know this problem or something like that?

    Best regards

    Thanks for your replies, but it's a feature of Netapp called fractional reserve.

    This reserved feature 0% or 100% of the space.

    Has anyone experiences with the option of fractional reserve and volumes NFS for ESXi? What is the best value for this?

  • Data store space used not maching between VMWare and 3PAR

    Hello world

    I have a strange behavior between our environment VMWare and 3PAR storage system.

    I checked each data store of our cluster and for each of them, the space used in vSphere Client does not match the size of the user 'used' their volume associated with 3PAR.  The value displayed in VMware is higher.

    For example, our data store named DS03 has space around 1 TB in VMWare.  And when I checked in the Console of 3PAR, I see that the volume created for this data store has a size of the user 'used' 722 GB.

    While doing some research, I came across this post: ability to store data about the free space is not the same thing in VMware and 3PAR

    But the problem I encounter is quiet different. It's the opposite. I do not understand why the displayed value is higher in VMWare...  We are also running vSphere Server version 5.1.0

    Any advice? Ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    It's the ASIC 3PAR inline zero detection function stripping zeros of incoming data until they land on the disc. Www.3parug.com try this happens a lot.

  • Data store sizes do not correspond to the sizes used all the vm

    Hey guys, I'm new in Vmware and I have a background of storage and I wonder if its correct what I see when I compare the total size of all the stores of data vs the 'space used' totals of all VMs running on these data stores.

    I see a total of 139 to on data warehouses with 33 to free space and when I add the vm used all space I have a totall TB 138. It's the size of all data stores!

    This seems not very accurate for me, I expect the total space used much lower. All the vm uses eager reset thick space.

    I hope someone can explain or confirm that they see similar things?

    For used space I exported the list of all the vm XL, cut in two the column space to separate the numbers from the gb / tb, changed all amounts of GB space and have XL add up the sum of all spaces.

    Hey MKguy, it was indeed your option 1, the RDM

    a command simple cli: Get - VM | Get-hard drive - Disktype "RawPhysical", "RawVirtual" | Select name, DiskType, ScsicannonicalName, DeviceName, Parent, CapacityGB

    has given numbers for all of the ROW and that's the difference between data warehouses, I have seen and all the used vm space :-)

    Thank you very much for your help, much appreciated!

  • List of virtual machines in the data store but is not registered in the inventory

    I have a perl script that can list all the virtual machines in a datasore given by using the HostDatastoreBrowser object.

    However this only back vms who are registered. I want to be able to find images that have 'removed from the inventory' users but not destroyed on the data store.

    I even reach this may by using the HostDatastorBrowser? If this is not the case, how can I achieve my goal?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can, but you may need to put the data in a different format. It is actually more a matter of perl a matter of VI Toolkit.

    You must create the appropriate list, then use the PERL map function to evaluate an expr on the entire list. Personally I just use a foreach example statement.
