  Could you please someone check the script above and let me know if there is something wrong

  Thank you!!

  But wait a minute, you mean that the "Num vMotions" and "Num of SvMotions" properties have a value of 0?

  This is normal, since you ask for events for the entity of the group, while you should do it for all the virtual machines in the cluster.

• Random virtual machines after vMotion and Storage vMotion network loss

  Hi all -

  I have a couple of tickets open with VMware and our supplier of SAN, EqualLogic, on this issue.  Since the configuration of our production and DMZ clusters we noticed that the virtual machines will sometimes drop network connectivity after a successful vMotion and Storage vMotion.  Sometimes, although much less frequently, virtual machines also spontaneously lose network overnight.  What happened only a few times.  The strange thing is that the other guests on the VM host are fine - they lose any network.  Actually, I can do no more than 3 computers virtual host to another, and 2 of 3 can switch correctly, so that we lose the network.  The work around?  Simply 'disconnect' from the virtual NETWORK card 'reconnect' and the virtual machine will start the return packets.  I can also switch the VM troubled return to the host State and it will find the network.  I can it reboot and re - win network.  I can re - install the virtual card completely, and she re - win network.

  VMware has seen a lot of mistakes of SAN in our log files in order to update us our SAN firmware to the latest version.  That seems to have fixed that but we still have the issue.  Here are some of the specifications - all environments are virtually identical except for memory:

  Of PowerEdge R810

  NICs Broadcom 5709

  EqualLogic SAN running 5.0.5 F/W

  We use frames.  ESXi is fully patched.  I haven't seen a boss or not, it is only some guest operating system that loses the network, but we are a Windows environment.

  When a virtual machine loses the network, we can not:

  • Ping to it
    
  • Ping it
    
  • Ping him at the virtual machines on the same host or vSwitch
    
  • Ping outside our network
    
  • resolve DNS, etc..
    

  I followed some KBs VMware without success, including:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003839
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & externalId = 1002811 (port security is not enabled)

  -All the VMware tools have been updated to the latest version correct and corresponds to the ESXi host
  -Connected to the service ESXi console, I cannot ping the VM problem by name of host or IP address, but I can ping do not affected by the issue of the OTHER virtual machines.  I can also pings the service console.
  -Connected to the troubled virtual machine itself, I cannot ping other virtual machines, I can't resolve host names, I cannot ping by IP.  The machine virtual CAN ping itself by IP, but not hostname.  I cannot ping other virtual computers on the same virtual switch or network by either IP or host name.  I can't ping the vSwitch network management.
  -All vSwitches are configured in the same way and the same.
  -Notify the switches is set to yes
  -There are a lot of available virtual ports
  -We tried the E1000 and VMXNET virtual cards with no difference.
  -All cards are configured to negotiate, but we tried to force individuals speeds as well as with no difference

  I appreciate your help.  I have problems getting anywhere on this issue with the sellers.

  Still having the issue...

  Sometimes, it might be useful to really check that all uplinks VMNIC for all VLAN does work them. Try this is to create a new portgroup on the vSwitch used by your virtual machines on the host of the first, put a test VM on the portgroup, then go into the NIC teaming policy from the new portgroup and select "Override switch command failover."

  Then down vmnic all except one in unused, then only a single VMNIC is active. Then set the portgroup VLAN to a production of VLAN and try to see if we could ping some expected from the different addresses. If it works, then move VMNIC work until unused and move up to another asset. Try again, and this for all the vmnic. If it works, then you have verified that the configuration of VLANS and other settings are correct on the physical switch in the face of this host ports.

  If several VLANs, repeat the process for all other productions VLAN. Then repeat on the other hosts.

  While that may take some time, occurs if everything is properly configured on the physical switches. When occurs a vMotion virtual machine gets a new "Port code" and is assigned to a new outgoing VMNIC. If there is an error of configuration on one or more physical ports that might seem random, but may still happen on VLAN x on y VMNIC. Given that Port ID policy you use indeed spread randomly VMs on the vmnic these problems may be difficult to diagnose. (Make a disconnection of the VM vNIC gives the virtual machine a new port-ID, which it will move to a new outgoing VMNIC, which might seem to solve the problem.)

• Disk groups are not visible cluster. vSAN datastore exists. 2 guests (on 8) cluster do not see the vSAN data store. Their storage is not recognized.

  Do not know how even tear it down and rebuild it if the disk groups are not visible. The discs are in good health on each host storage adapters.

  Currently the latest version of vCenter 5.5. Hosts running 5.5 build 2068190

  Just built. Happy to demolish and rebuild. Just do not know why it is not visible on the two hosts and the disk groups are only recognized 3 guests when more are contributing. Also strange that I can't get the disk groups to fill in vCenter. I tried two different browsers (chrome and IE).

  I have now works.

  All the identical 5.5 relies on ESXi hosts. All hosts are homogeneous CPU/sum of the prospects for disk controller / installed RAM/storage.

  I have work. I had to manually destroy all traces of the vSAN on each single to help host node:

  (1) put the hosts in maintenance mode and remove the cluster. I was unable to disable vSAN in the cluster, I made on each node host (manually via the CLI below) then disconnected web client vCenter and return to finally refresh the ability to disable on the cluster.

  esxcli vsan cluster get - to check the status of each host.

  esxcli vsan cluster drop - the vSAN cluster host.

  storage of vsan esxcli list - view records in the individual host group

  esxcli vsan storage remove-d naa.id_of_magnetic_disks_here - to remove each of the disks in the disk group (you can ignore this using the following command to remove the SSD only falling each disc in this host group).

  esxcli vsan storage remove s naa.id_of_solid_state_disks_here - this is the SSD and all the magnetic disks in a given disk group.

  After that, I was able to manually add hosts to the cluster, leave maintenance mode and configure the disk groups. Aggregated data of the vSAN data store is correct now, and everything is functional.

  Another question for those of you who still read... How to configure such as the VM storage strategy that migrates towards (or inspired) the vSAN data store will immediately resume the default storage policy, I built for VSANs?

  Thanks for anyone who has followed.

  Initially, I had only a single device defined within the iqn.2012 - 10 .cpd .net: san.target01 and I was able to create a data store on the ESXi hosts that I have running in my lab. I then added a second disk (LUN 1 above), but I still show that the possibility of having the original data store. When I look at the "storage adapters" on another host, details the software iSCSI card show 1 target connected, 2 devices and 2-way. If I should not be able to mount MON 1 as a second data within the host store?

  I don't use iSCSI anywhere in production and only play with it so that I can familiarize myself with the portion of iSCSI for test VCP5-VTC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Has proved to be a problem with tgtd. I actually had to reboot the server to get exports to work properly - the normal command "tgtd restart service" has been leaving some kind of autour artifacts that prevented VMware to see the changes properly.

• size of the lowest data store then show storage

  Hello, I do not know why, when I add a new logical unit number data store to what I created in the storage appear at the VMware and then further down in storage.

  for example, I created a new LUN in the storage of 60 GB in size. but when I add a data store that LUN appears only 55.88 GB to 60 GB. where are the others? where are other 4.2 GB of my logic unit number. in storage, it appears with 60 GB.

  Why VMware view only 55, 88 GB 60 GB?

• VCenter and storage vmotion on remote vmhost

  Hello

  I have the following situation and hope someone has an idea if it works.

  I have here in Germany my vcenter for our clusters here in Germany. Now, I want to have

  a Vsphere host, which relates to the vcenter in Germany. The host has a temp.

  iSCSI Storagelun. Now, I want to do/initiate a vmotion of local iSCSI storage

  disk of the server in Italy during my viclient here in Germany. -So my question is, will go

  traffic during the migration of storage on the vcenter in Germany? Or will the data traffic

  only in the Italy site? Hope someone can help me here.

  TNX in advance

  Torsten

  Storage vMotion is an operation of the host, and therefore the transfer of data should remain completely in Italy.

• strange data store inventory list

  ESXi 4.1

  I view "Inventroy-> data warehouses" open in vsphere.  What's weird, is that it shows one of my virtual machines sitting on the local host (HDD) data store and then it also shows the same virtual machine sitting on another store of data on my SAN.  I have 4 models of installation as well as appear in the same way.  I have not any virtual machines stored in the store of data to the local host (local hard drives) so I don't know why it happens that way.  I've traveled even to check that it wasn't some kind of copy.  We never saw it?

  you have an ISO on a local storage that may be connected to a guest?  Check the virtual machine in question to see if something is mounted, also check e HARD drive to see where to point their VMDK.

• question of vMotion and storage vMotion

  I have everything set, UCS 5108, ESXi host, VMs, I don't have a SAN connection yet... My question is if I can enable vMotion? Let's say I have a cluster in vCenter, within this group, I have attached two ESXi host, win2008 VM in an ESXi and running, I can migrate (using vMotion) as win2008 VM to an another ESXi without connection SAN?

  How storage vMotion to an ESXi host hardrive to an another ESXi host hardrive? Is this possible?

  Note: I have not connection SAN in this configuration

  One of the requirements for vMotion is shared storage that would allow visibility between source and destination ESXi hosts. (SAN, iSCSI or NFS).

• Query vMotion and Storage vMotion events

  Hello

  I found the attached script on the site of Alan and it works very well in the listing of vmotion for a period of time selective event. I have been asked to do the same thing for Storage vMotion and would like to try this if possible in a single query.

  Thank you

  Take a look at get vMotion/svMotion history.

  When you have events, it will be easy to calculate meters through a Measure-Object cmdlet.

• List of virtual machines residing on the data store, ESXi and Cluster

• Can I export data store files and import them into VMware Player?

  Hey guys,.

  I was wondering if this outcome is possible?

  I want to create a virtual machine (install the OS and software) and then export the virtual computer to use VMware Player or any viewer VM?

  Currently, I have ESXi 3.5 and can create virtual machines. I'm not able to find a way to simply export the virtual machine. Is this possible? If this isn't the case, I was wondering if it was possible to export the files in the data store, and then copy them to the VMware Player?

  The files in the data store (vmx, vmdk, nvram, vmxf, vmsd, vswp)

  Thank you!!!

  You can use the free VMWare Converter Standalone (available here: http://www.vmware.com/download/converter/). Use your ESX as target and convert the virtual machine to a VMWare Workstation. I've never tried, but I think it will work.

• Prevent write access to a data store

  All,

  I hope someone can advise me on this problem?

  The scenario:

  We have introduced a new LUN in our ESX 4.0 cluster, configured as a data store VMFS and storage vmotion to migrate from a number of virtual machines on this data store. Each virtual machine is turned off. Logic unit number is presented an IBM DS8100 storage array. At a specified time, the LUN is migrated to a remote data center, where we intend to present the LUN to a cluster of replacement and saving virtual machines on this LUN. This provides a method of migration of virtual machines between remote sites.

  The problem is when we test this guy storage advise that there are tracks out of sync in the replicated data, which they claim is due to the LUN writes during replication (which seems unlikely that all the virtual machines on this LUN were stop). According to me, the question is at the end of storage but have been asked to determine if there is a method to isolate completely the LUN of the cluster ESX source to ensure that no data is written during the migration.

  The methods that I have considered are:

  (1) delete the data store - not a viable option that he would destroy all data on the LUN.

  (2) turn off all the paths to the data store by using the vSphere client. It resembled a possibility - I can deactivate 3 of the 4 paths to an ESX host, but get an error when I try to disable the fourth.

  (3) use esxcfg-mpath to disable paths - not convinced that this will work any different use of the GUI.

  (4) get the guys from storage to use to prevent ESX hosts to 'see' the LUN of LUN masking. My problem with this is how ESX will react if she can't see the data store.

  My question is, is anyone know of any method I can use to ensure that this LUN cannot be written in during the migration to the remote site?

  Many thanks in advance,

  Martin

  Yes, ESX will complain, but once you log LUN return - everything will be ok.

  Remove the inventory of VMs (but don't delete disk) before disconnection LUN and ESX will not say anything.
