• Get-data store in GB, need help on decimal.

  Hello

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I'm running the get-store data in the UK and who are seeking to return the number without leakage of digits after the decimal point.

  Get-datastore. Select name, @{Label = "FreespaceGB"; Expression = {$_.} {{FreeSpaceMB * 1 MB / 1 GB}}, @{Label = "CapacityGB"; Expression = {$_.} {{CapacityMB * 1 MB / 1 GB}}

  It returns this:

  "local-Test01", '91.1962890625', '131.75.

  I wish I had where I round numbers lik "91", "131".

  Thank you!

  Hello, pt073-

  You can use the Round() to the "Math".net class method to round to zero (0) decimal, as:

  Get-Datastore | Select name,@{ Label = "FreespaceGB"; Expression = { [Math]::Round($_.FreeSpaceMB * 1MB / 1GB, 0) }}, @{ Label = "CapacityGB"; Expression = { [Math]::Round($_.CapacityMB * 1MB / 1GB, 0) }}
  

  BTW, you could shorten it up a little bit like:

  Get-Datastore | Select name,@{l="FreespaceGB"; e={[Math]::Round($_.FreeSpaceMB / 1kb, 0)}}, @{l="CapacityGB"; e={[Math]::Round($_.CapacityMB / 1kb, 0)}}
  

  Just a touch cleaner (used some abbreviations and consolidated arithmetic), but yours works fine, too (w / the Round() added).

  Enjoy.

• Need to create a structure for the target data store?

  Hi Experts,

  If I create a structure for the target data store, and then load the data from source to target works fine. If I make mistakes.

  Is necessary to create a structure for target?

  Please help me...

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the answer. No need to create the structure for target temporary data store. and we need to create the structure for the permanent target data store.

• May not use all the available space in the data store

  Hello

  We have a HP DL580 G7 Server P410i raid controller with 8 x 1 TB HDD.

  I create a raid 1 with 2 hard drives (1 TB) and raid 5 with 6 hard drives (5 TB) and install ESXi 5.1 in the first data store (1 to).

  After installation when I tried to create the 5 TB data store, (ESXi detects and displays the space available 5 TB) it does use that almost 2.5 TB! and may not use all the space

  I also installed the ESXi 5.5 but still no luck.

• Not enough space on the data store

  I created a VM w2k8 server. I have attached a second virtual drive to it in the vsphere client determined I gave him too much space. I went back in the vshere client and click on delete. Now, when I go to add a second drive with the right amount of space I want t use I get error not enough space on the data store. I noticed that the old file vdmk still exist but do not know how to proceed. It is a 5 ESX environment and the data store is on the SAN. Space on the windows server is listed as unallocated.

  Hello and welcome to the community of VMware. Well I would like to browse the data store and make sure that there are no vmdk files sitting here that, if the other wise not to be there. Have a go at this and feedback your conclusions.

  Best wishes.

  Dear all,

  We have enclosed a case at VMware, please find their findings on the same.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  After the webex session, we just had, I discovered the root cause of the problem reported to an underlying problem on the block device (the logical drive, or a problem on the Board) presented to accommodate the data in question store successfully.

  In short, whenever we try to do raw reading from the disk (from sector 0), the same always fail when we reach the 30932992 bytes (31 MB) brand with an IO error (which is consistent, he is always on this region of the disc that read operations fail, no more, no less). This result can be seen, even if no partition is in the disk (using if = / dev/sdb instead of/dev/sdb1 with dd) and even after zeroing on all sectors (if dd \u003d/dev/zero of = / dev/sdb). Strangely, read operations work fine (as he writes zeros of random data) throughout the entire disk. Keep in mind that the tests I did with no VMware tools (I used almost only dd for these operations), which prohibits certainly a VMware problem (in fact, if you were to try to start the server with a Linux live CD and run the same tests that I did, you would see the same behavior).

  I know that there is no report of material of any bad behavior on the table, but data collected with our tests today completely invalid who. The next step is for you to take this to the server provider to check for problems on the table or discs, because they are there and they are the reason for the problem you reported initially.

  Please let me know if you have other questions about it.

  Thank you

  Mr. VMware

• General issue of file on why my data store has 3 files with a _1 and _2

  OK, I'm a little new to this thing of VMware, but I was the main actor in this migration and have been the building and move all our servers to our ESX 3.5 with a back-end SAN platform.

  I did well until this weird thing, that I think that I understand, but I just don't know how to solve, or how it happened.  And right next to the bat, no I did not the instant code with this server... those that have been cleaned in the time there... Now

  My situation:

  I have virtual machines that are created equal, that they all have a 'C' drive for the operating system on another dedicated "LUNS for OS Storage" and then they have their readers of 'd' of the newspapers "SQL" on a dedicated LUN in mirror, and then the 'E' drive is on dedicated aonther "LUN DATA.

  If all servers have 2 or 3 LUNS associated with them. That's how the SAN engineer and I designed it. OK works great.  Until one day, I noticed that I was shy about 40 GB space on my SQL LUN. Took time but I think I found the culprit, but I don't know how to solve this problem, or if it will break my dose. So here I ask you all.

  One of my servers called "Server01" has 2 drives associated with it and supposedly 2 / 2 data warehouses, or even what he had initially when it was built in August!

  Now, the operating system data store is fine.

  When I'm on Console V and I click with the button straight on my server and go to his 'change settings' is what I see:

  SERVER01of properties on the "change settings of ' Advanced ' your drive hard 1" to the appropriate LUN and all the VMDK and those files are there. ""  (IE OS LUN 10)

  But "hard drive 2" pointing to the right LUNS (IE SQL LUN11), but his record is called "server01_2"?  What?    She was built and given a hard drive on this LUN, but the name of the folder is wrong.   So I'll browse my store data and low and this is, I have 3 files with the same server name (IE... ( Server01, Server01_1, Server01_2 ) OK so what happened? Why? How? and how in the heck can I get my space back 40gig?

  I checked records the name of the original server, as well as the other files on the data store with the numbers in the annex of _1 and 2 and they have all VMDK files in it... of course dates on all the VMDK files are different and I guess that since the server points to the folder called + "SERVER012" + and its VMDK file has the most recent data buffer on this subject since the last Vmotion We did it, he must then use this folder.

  OK great... but now that messes up my folder structure, and if this server does not use other VMDK files and folders he ate up to 40 GB of my precious space!

  I'm pretty sure when I went on vacation last year, because it is the time of the timestamp on the VMDK files in older records and "dates of the task of the procedures as" trying to clone, suspend, model, reconfgure, snapshot "etc. that the other members of the team tried to do something, which lead to my having 3 files on my store of data with 3 VMDK files in them.?  Nobody seems to know or remind us what it is they are trying to do... great... Well...

  I just want to know + If the server points to a folder called "Server01_2" and it has the most recent date stamp on this subject, can I then rename other files? + and then I can delete them?   And if I successful, how can I get my server to have the name of the correct folder again?    Instead of a * _2* on the end of it?

  Any suggestion would be great!    I learned the hard way that if your VM operating system is built and pointing to a file with a specific name, and you try to rename it to match the server, your operating system does not start!. LOL I hope that is not the case with a folder that has a 20gig assigned to HDD with oner VMDK file in it...

  Help!

  Thank you

  No problem.  Cold migration allows you to move all your files in a data store.  You can use svmotion to move disks to different LUN, but the syntax is somewhat more complex.  The help option shows exactly how to move a machine virtual disk at a time.  Basically, you can move a disk with the config file, so basically, you move the config file and the disk of your choice in the data store that you need.  Move back the config for the original data store file, then repeat the process with the next disc.

• Collecting data store information

  Hi all

  I need to produce a report of all data stores that will include the name of datstore, the capacitygb, the freespacegb and the NAA.  That's what I came with, but it works simply forever.   Any suggestions?

  $datastores = get-Datastore.
  Where-Object {$_.ExtensionData.Info.GetType ().} Name - eq "VmfsDatastoreInfo"}
  $report = @)

  
  {Foreach ($d in $datastores)
  
  $temp = new-Object - TypeName PSObject-property @ {}
  Name = $d.Name
  CapacityGB = $d.CapacityGB
  FreeSpaceGB = $d.FreeSpaceGB
  NAA = Get-Scsilun - Datastore $d | Select canonicalname
  }
  $report += $temp
  }
  
  $report | Export-Csv h:\Documents\AllScripts\test3.csv

  The cmdlet Get-ScsiLun can take a long time, it isn't the fastest cmdlet around.

  If you have only 1 LUN in a data store, you can do something like this to get the same result

  Get-Datastore | where {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |Select Name,CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB,@{N="NAA";E={$_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | Select -ExpandProperty DiskName}} |Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

  If there are more than 1 LUN by the data store, the script needs a little change.

  Get-Datastore | where {$_.Type -eq "VMFS"} |Select Name,CapacityGB,FreeSpaceGB,@{N="NAA";E={[string]::Join(',',($_.ExtensionData.Info.Vmfs.Extent | Select -ExpandProperty DiskName)}} |Export-Csv c:\report.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
  

• Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?

  I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter.  The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.

  I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store.  Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere.  We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.

  The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added.  Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store.  I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added.  All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.

  Is it reasonably simple way to do this?  It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.

  Thank you

  You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.

  To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this

  $newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync

• Have I copied my VMs correctly data store?

  I downloaded two virtual machines from the data store on my ESXi host using the vClient. I ended up with two separate folders on my local machine, but when I look inside the content do not correspond to the respective the VM files in the data store.

  I get a file hard and a *-flat.vmdk file. I searched and if I'm not mistaken the hard is a kind of pointer to the *-flat.vmdk file.

  In fact, my question is when I upload these files to my ESXi host will merge two files and be recognized by virtual machines?

  Thank you

  These 2 files will remain there after you download in the data store, and you need two of them to present the virtual disk to the virtual machine. In VC, you can not see - flat.vmdk always and Yes, you're right about the description of hard you mentioned earlier.

• Migration online fo VM in another data store

  Hello, I need move a virtual machine in another data store but I need only Activ VM.

  Thank you

  After you download the sVMotion Plugin the link that I provided, follow the instructions described here, http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/vmware-esx-articles/vmotion-drs-high-availability/storage-vmotion-svmotion-vi-plugin.html

• Shrink a VM HD - is the destination data store need to have enough space for the source or destination VM?

  Hi all

  I have an existing file with HD Server configures:

  HD1: 60 GB

  HD2: 20 GB

  HD3: 650 GB

  Total: 730 GB

  I intend to shrink HD3 250 GB that will give me a new total of 330 GB.

  My question is, when I rode the VMware Converter Standalone process and I get to the step where I select the 'destination '.  Obviously, I need to select a data store that can adapt to the virtual destination machine.

  My concern is that it shows the size of the source disk (Go 730) (see image below), and for some reason any part of the conversion process the destination data store requires the storage of the size of 330 GB vm 730GB as opposed to the 'new '.

  

  Can anyone confirm?

  Thank you

  There are no for the data store 730 GB free in order to submit the conversion. 330 GB free (size after reduction) would be sufficient.

  If you also select a provisioning, you could even start the conversion with less free space on the data store, but it may fail at some point, if the actual data meet.

• 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.

• 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.
