Data store missing after the reconstruction of the raid array

One of the players in my raid array has failed a few days ago.

I had a spare drive in the table so the controller immediately began the process of rebuilding and all servers were running throughout.

When the reconstruction has been completed (I checked this via the user interface of raid array and the newspaper), I had to stop the server to remove disc defective (not replaceable chassis hot) and when I restarted the server, the data on the raid array store isn't there anymore.  I also checked through the raid controller interface that I removed the (defective) drive and that the table was always in a ready state when he came.

In vsphere client, when I click on the storage... Add link, the server sees the material but if I click then it tells me that it will be re - format the volume.  See attachment.  I have most certainly does not take the next step and reformat.  Simply, I took the screenshot and regularized.

I found these instructions, but they are for an older version of ESXi and am unsure if they are correct for ESXi 6.0.0 338124

VMware KB: Lack of data store after the reconstruction of the RAID disk/LUN

Here are the steps I should follow?

If these aren't the right instructions can you tell me the version which is for ESXi 6.0.0 338124 that I couldn't find anything either.

Thank you

Hi ThompsG,

Yes, there are two data stores for the virtual machine located on the RAID array.  The virtual machine itself was stored in a different data store that was not in the raid array.

I spent about 48 hours last week, including this morning, trying to coax ESXi recognizing volumes, with no luck.  Finally, I gave up and I removed the virtual computer hard drives that were on the corrupt data store.  Then the virtual machine came without problem.

Finally, since I have everything on these 2 volumes backed up to a cloud provider, I have recreated the two data stores in the raid array and began the restoration process. It is currently running and has about 16 days left to go.

  • Save the data before and after the occurrence of a Trigger Condition.

    Hello

    I am worrking on an application that acquires data from 64 channels and performs many analyses.

    Necessary to implement something is recording the data in the event of alarm condition.

    I've implemented datalogging in many previous applications, but this one is difficult.

    I need to save data for a few seconds before and a few seconds after the alarm has occurred in a single file.

    I thought constantly write data to a file PDM and at the same time deleting the old data, until the alarm trigger occurs.

    but I was not able to do, since I have no blocks to remove data from a PDM file.

    I'm looking for the ideal approach to this recording.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    What I have to do this in the past, use of a queue with loss as a circular buffer.  When you get the relaxation, dump you the data in the queue to your file and then save however many data you want after the outbreak.

    For the purposes of the memory allocation, do not use the queue to rinse.  Use rather a Dequeue element inside a conditional FOR loop with a 0 timeout (reading the queue stops when you have a timeout or you read X samples).

  • Expansion of data store which is the best way?

    Hi all

    I want to help you on the extension of a data store. I have a HA cluster with three hosts (5.5 ESXi). the army actually share a single data store where all the virtual machines to run. the data store is created in a midsize V3700 storage ibm. the host is connected with the CF. But I want to extend the ability of the data store. I think that it is possible to do this in two ways:

    -creation of a new volume of the midsize IBM and by mapping it to all the host then developing the data store for the new LUN (extension) created.

    -expanding the existing volume of storage IBM midsize directely. While it is the ability to store data directely is increased.

    I need your help because this cluster runs mission critical VMs. Also, I read in VMware documentation that it is not recommended to use more than one number of logic unit by the store of data that each data store should be in a separate logical unit number.

    How would you propose?

    Can you do the manipulation without stopping the virtual machines?

    I'm not familiar with the storage system you use, but these storage systems are generally several controllers that can be owners of LUN presented to the hosts. With the help of only one data LUN/store you are actually 'wasting' performance, then you can consider to introduce a different unit number logic with the second controller of storage as the owner LUN and create a second data store for your virtual machines.

    Regarding resizing datasore. With ESXi 5.5 there is no more need to use extensions, i.e. to present another logic unit number and add it to the existing data store to increase its size. You can simply increase the LUN size up to 64 ~ to, rescan storage on your ESXi host adapters and then increase the size of the data store in the Properties window.

  • Increase the capacity of data store, which with the block size?

    Hello

    I am trying to expand my datastore 2 TB, I added a new lun 2 TB of the FC SAN TB 4 even and there is no problem adding this in the existing data store.

    But the existing data store is formatted in VMFS3 with a block size of 4 MB for a maximum file size of 512 GB. But when I try to extend the data store to select the size of the block is set to 1 MB and disabled.
    The measure automatically takes on the size of the original block or wil he get a block size of 1 MB? There are some > 256GB files on the existing data store and I think I'd get a strange behavior, if half of the data store is 4 MB and the other half is 1 MB blocksize.

    Can anyone confirm that the blocksize wil be the same for the measure?

    I can also make a second warehouse 2 TB one manually fracture the virtual machine on 2 data warehouses. is there any advantages or disadvantages to this approach?

    Don't you worry, add an item to an existing data store certainly will not change the size of the block. In any case, if it is an option that you can use two data warehouses, I would. With two distinct data warehouses that you will not only be able to spread the load on each of these LUNS but also avoid the complexity. With ESXi 5 (VMFS-5), a single LUN can grow up to 64 ~ to without needing extensions.

    BTW, a 4MB block size allows 1 TB less than 512 bytes.

  • What best practices to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store

    Hi all

    This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?

    I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?

    Thank you all

    Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

  • ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    Objective: move vmdk to store data with adequate storage and then increase storage D: 20G to 100G

    Converter is not available on this architecture. Can I migrate cold vm to the different data store, no prob.

    Question: Without use of the converter, method 3 can be used without a secondary vm? In other words, just by using target vm offline, online, offline? Or is it a problem of signing/OS disk on the Windows Virtual PC?

    I need to move vmdk in different LUN and extend drive vm windows on D: (non-OS drive). Is this possible via the single procedure? Options?

    To use method 3 to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81121 requires available vm 'secondary', I did not.

    Method 3? Using of vmkfstools and another VM of Windows to extend a drive

    o stop the VM to resize

    o log in the console ESX Server via Putty

    o Type? vmkfstools? X & lt; new size of drive & gt; vmfs/volumes / & lt; storage volume name & gt;. / & lt; virtual server name & gt;. / & lt; the virtual disk name & gt;? That is to say. /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/my_vm.VMDK new disk size can be specified in kilo, mega, or gigabytes and will be the total size of the new disk. So if you want to increase a virtual disk of 20 GB of 24GO you would put 24000 m or 24g

    o the second virtual machine to help stop

    o change the second virtual machine settings and add the first virtual machine hard drive

    o power on the second VM and load the disk management snap-in and verify that the first virtual machine disk has unallocated on it space

    o select Start, run and enter diskpart.exe

    o the command? the list of volume? This will show you all the volumes.

    o select your volume based on the results of the list volume command, IE. ? Select volume 1?

    o type the command? extend? to extend the volume

    o check again the disk management snap-in and the volume is expected to be expanded with a greater ability

    o stop the second VM and remove (do not remove) the record of it

    o turn your first VM and the new space should be there and ready to use.

    Also, I'm already aware of Dell extpar:

    http://www.RTFM-ed.co.UK/?p=1310

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us & CS = 19 & l = in & s = DHS & ReleaseID = R64398 & formatcnt = 2 & starts = 83929

    for VI3, vmoiton of storage is made by RCLI plugin or a 3rd party

    I prefer the plugin

    http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/VMware-ESX-articles/VMotion-DRS-high-availability/storage-VMotion-SVMotion-VI-plugin.html

    In addition, if the option to increase the size of the disk in the VIC is grayed out, it sounds like a permissions issue.  Finally, you can not extend the disc using the VIC, if the customer in question has a snapshot.

    3 xp machines do a restore destructive on a saved data machine xp in 2 files twice, the xp machine, the data are on slow so I put it in another to copy the disk after the machine notes that the data he copied only half and the other half is missing. I was single click copy right and whenever I do more data are missing? Idea of this itn was the first time I work with several types of OS but XP is the only one who did this is there a solution?

    Hi HarrisonLane,

    You can run a check disk on the hard drives & check if the problem persists.

    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

    It may be possible to recover the missing files by using data recovery software. There is no Microsoft recovery tool to recover the lost data. However, you can use your favorite search engine and download any third-party data recovery software.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Get the scsi for a data store information if the data store is known

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to get the information of scsci for a data store if the name of the data store is known.

  • VERY URGENT. Data in accessible after the system recovery which says - data will not be deleted.

    I did a system restore by pressing F11 on my laptop HP XP Home pre-loaded. The step has asked told me that by doing a restore via this procedure, my data will not be changed or lost. I did not a destructive restore.

    Now after recovering my laptop works very well, however I got two sets of data - much of the imp in My Documents data and personal data to another folder. When I went back to work on the laptop, I was able to access the data that I had the pvt. folder, however, any data that is very Important to me and who was there in My Documents has been moved to a new folder named HP and I can't access it. The capacity of the disk hard has not changed, which means that the amount of hard disk space that has been used before is the same, so it means, no data has been removed. I analyzed the defragmenting drive C drive and can see the report, which said, all data is located in the HP folder, but when I try to enter the folder, it says access is denied.

    During recovery, I haven't used any password, which could help to access this folder, I am still unable to view this file, I tried to use an administrator in safe mode too, still the same message.

    I called HP customer, but after talking with them for an hour, I couldn't find a solution. I called microsoft and they say that they support no more than XP? PLEASE HELP ME. I do not understand when I follow on screen instructions from microsoft themselves, why am I facing this problem? Is it a fault of customers to purchase an original product from microsoft, and then when he has a problem microsoft responds that they cannot help them?

    Since I followed all the instructions from microsoft, I'm in trouble, if at any time it would give me a warning that your data won't be accessible or will change, I would have not been made.

    PLEASE HELP ME, I NEED AN URGENT DATA. I HAVE A FEW PRESENTATIONS MAJOR IN THE COMING WEEK, AND I DON'T GET.

    Most probably, you have just to take ownership of these files.  The recovery process has probably created a new user, who does not recognize the system as having access to this folder.  To do this follow these steps:
