Data store mobile (vm machine) 1 host to another with the help of free hypervisor on the two hosts

I have 2 hosts running ESXi 4.1 (free version of the hypervisor). Both have their own data store locally.

I need to move a VM machine (data store) of a host for the other local data store. There best way to do this with the free hypervisor?

Hello

Using VMWare Converter standalone 4.0, it's a free VMWare tool exactly for situations like yours. I use the conversion tool to transfer my virtual machines much between different hosts of ESXi and also founded to convert ESXi VMs to VMWare Server/Workstation and vice versa.

All you need to do is turn off the virtual machine and make sure that it is in the inventory of the ESXi host source; Use the VMWare Infrastucture option while selecting the source and the destination of VMWare Converter Standalone, you will be asked to provide identification name and connection of your ESXi source servers and destination information.

VMWare Converter Standalone is a brialliant tool, its very flexible in that you can resize your hard drive, use a provisioning, edit all devices.

Hope this information useful for you.

  • How many data store should be left to host his own execution

    Hi all

    I have EXSI 5.5 installed host recently. I'm going to create a new virtual machine on that host, but the data on this host store is about 2 TB and I want to put 1.8 to for my VM machine, so I only 0.2 TB left. The issue is with 0.2 left to there, that's enough to run its own code structures and data from the host? How to determine how much should be left? The same question for the memory and the processor.

    Could you please help with that?

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards

    Thao

    ESXi is roughly Ligh weight. During Installation, the ESXi would automatically create the partitions. XXXX to hold (key code) bootbank, altbootbank, 4 Gigs vfat, store partition for tools and etc, that would be enough for the ESXi run and would not need anything else. A total of about 5 G of space is used and the rest should be left aside for you to create data stores to store virtual machines.

    From left to right on the space, ensure that you have left at least 20 to 30 GB per VM separately to run snapshots in your patch/maintenance cycles.

  • What is the best way to backup of virtual machines on a standalone ESX with the data store local

    Hello

    I want to save the virtual machines on a host ESX autonomous. and all of these virtual machines is the local data store.  What is the best way to save these virtual machines in this situation?

    And probably we don't provision VTL on the local data center, so it is possible to use VCB to backup? And VCB is a good choice compared to the traditional method that installs the backup client in each virtual machine?   Because I think that in this situation with the data store local, it cannot not reduced the load on ESX hosts and network overhead can be avoided.

    Thank you!

    LAN

    > 1. VCB usable remote tape library? I mean it's not local library and uses the tape library to another network data center.

    VCB is completely unrelated to the tape library, it is a framework, not a backup solution. If your standard backup software can work with the remote tape library you can try it to ungrateful with VCB.

    > 2. what the difference bwteen hot - added NBD and modes if there is that an ESX host with store data local and want to use a virtual machine like VCB proxy? I think that they are the same: the VCB proxy read data through the I/O of the ESX host stack in this situation.

    NBD works on network and the backup traffic goes through the service console connection. Hot add uses special machine for assistance to connect vmdk to and uses of e/s disk stack instead of e/s network.

    > 3. Veeam Backup is free software?

    No, it isn't.

  • Be able to disconnect a data store without deleting an ESX host

    I want to have the ability to disconnect a host from a data store without deleting everything in it.

    Today what I understand, if I never connect a host ESX/ESXi in a shared - data store it will be there forever, even if no VMs is running on the host computer it seems not possible to simply 'disconnect' or 'remove' it. I found strange.

    I don't care

    If ESX sees VMFS LUNS and LUN is right LUN ID (it is written in the signature) ESX automatically connects to this VMFS datastore.

    LUN mask, detach the cable - just make inaccessible LUNS for this particular ESX.

    I accidentally deleted the vmdk file that has my OS on it by pressing the "Delete selected items" button in the window of browser data store. Is there anyway to recover? I have a snapshot that doesn't seem to work. There is still the VMDK file in there, but it has now 'delta' be added at the end. Now I get an error message when I try to turn on my VM saying that he doesn't get the vmdk file, of course.

    From the screen shots looks you have deleted only the descriptor hard files that can be recreated. To ensure this is the case, please provide a complete list of the files in the folder of the virtual machine and attach the last file.log of vmware(from the virtual work computer) to a post response to view required details.

    (2) empty LOBs affected using the UPDATE, as mentioned in the Note 787004.1statement:

    SQL > update SCAN_UPLOADEDFILES_TEMP

    Set FILE_BLOB = empty_blob()

    where rowid in (select corrupted_rowid

    of corrupted_lob_data);

    SQL > commit;

    (3) perform the export, excluding the corrupt ROWID. by adding the following to export command parameter

    Query =------"where rowid not in (\'AAASF/AAKAABacyAAA\'\) \ \" "

Whenever I am the design of the fence and the DOF and reopening export to import the DDL file failure to import completely check constraints. It is important to check constraints, but without any range of values inside.

    Please help me soon.

    Jean

    Hi John,.

    Every time I'm fence design and export the ddl and reopening through the import of the DDL file

    Why are you doing this? Once the DDL file is imported and then save the drawing and open simply saved design, no need to generate the DDL and import it every time that you start Modeler data.
    On the list of values - forced as this CHECK (Active_Flag IN ('A', 'I')) are imported as constraint check plain and not as a list of values.
    There are the more specific elements import of check constraint - they are defined as type database constraint that you select during the import. Accordingly if you import your DOF as Oracle 10 g DDL, then you will get forced correct check in DDL generated for Oracle 10 g and Oracle 11 g. Constraint of evil will be generated for Oracle 9i. You can move the constraint for Oracle 9i (in the check constraint dialog box) or generic if it can be treated as such constraint.

    I logged for DOF bad bug.

  • I'm trying to transfer data from hard disk of Vista again Windows 7 with the StarTech easy transfer cable. Is not interesting! Help please?

    My Dell laptop is quite old and SLOW but effective. I bought a new Toshiba Windows 7 laptop, and they had ideally made available a kit to transfer all the data from the old computer again. For windows USB transfer cable. Well, I loaded the CD and he always tells me that the compputers cannot read each other, to load the CD on my old computer. I'm on the flat. Called their tech support was a joke. Thought it would be so simple and now I want my $30 money back and may need to use the thumb or the CD burning command to transfer files.

    Anyone out there use this easy transfer cable and be successful?

    Many thanks to whom can help forever (or the cable my be used for some are completely other purpose if are getting my drift).  Thank you all!

    Hello

    Perhaps you use a defective cable, and also a standard USB cable cannot be used to transfer files and settings between computers.

    I suggest you to make Windows easy transfer on a network.

  • 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. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

    Summer watching this, but I think the term "orphan" is "sent, in my view, it is:

    https://communities.VMware.com/thread/266913

    Also it is - this one, I think that I should be able to change it to do what I want:

    http://www.wooditwork.com/2011/08/11/adding-VMX-files-to-vCenter-inventory-with-PowerCLI-gets-even-easier/

    Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Please try:

    $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

    $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

    #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

    Check the contents of the two variables for example with VGO or export-csv

    $AllFilesInESX01LocalDatastore | OGV

    Try:

    $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM = $AllFilesLocalDatastore | {foreach-object

    $FullPath = $_. FullPath

    If ($FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs.FileName - notcontains $FullPath) {}

    Return $_

    }

    }

    $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | OGV

    #The over a will contain all the files that are not identified as associated with any virtual computer

    $ProbablyOrphanedFiles = $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | where {$_.} FileTypeFullName-match "VMware.Vim.Vm *"-GOLD ($_.) FileTypeFullName - eq "VMware.Vim.FileInfo" - AND ($_.) FullPath-match ".vmsd" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vmxf" - or $_. FullPath-match "aux.xml" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vswp" - GOLD ($_.) FullPath-match "hard" - AND $_. FullPath - notmatch 'ctk.vmdk') - GOLD ($_.) FullPath-match ".vmx" - AND $_. FullPath - notmatch ".vmx ~"- AND $_. FullPath - notmatch "." VMX.lck")))}

    $ProbablyOrphanedFiles | OGV

    Edit:

    Changed the name of the data store, it seems that he was not supposed to be in the first screenshot.

    Edit2:

  • Error input/output of the VMFS5 local data store

    Hello

    I have 3 locally on the hard drive on my server from IBM. 1 250 GB drive, I used to create the data store Linux (datastore1) and other 2 disks that I created the Windows data store (datastore2)

    Couple of VMS is deployed on the two databases. Over the weekend, suddenly vms Windows Data Store (datastore2) went down. When I checked Monday concluded that data store is visible to ESXi host but I am unable to navigate to virtual machines.

    If I Directory VM cd I get below error:

    ~ # cd/vmfs/volumes/Windows\ Data\ store/Win - 2 k 8-2.

    SH: getcwd: input/output error
