• ESX 3.5: copy files using the service console from a network share to the esx host data store

  Hello

  I wonder. Is there a command that I can run the service console that would allow me to copy a file from a network share on the data store on the esx host?

  Eric

  If sharing is a Windows, you can also use smbclient within the service console and ride sharing.

• No network traffic VM being withdrawn and any data store Info

  I am running a trial of Foglight Enterprise visualization and upward and running things and an agent installed to my VMWare vCenter server infrustructure.  He shoots a lot of info, but none of the basic data store info is pulled (not the stuff that requires the Foglight for integration of storage) and none of the information network is taken for the individual virtual machine.  Guests and parents have netowrk showing traffic, but nothing on the side of the virtual machine.  The environment is configured with dvswitches for data, iscsi, vmotion, etc..  Any idea of what might happen, or I can look at?

  I see some errors in the agent log if I pull it down on data warehouses... Here's a sample:

  ERROR [Quartz [0] - 6] com.quest.agent.esx.task.HardwareTask - DatastoreInfo is missing for Datastore:datastore - 162
  2015-03-17 13:57:16.165 ECHO ERROR [Quartz [0] - 6] com.quest.agent.esx.task.HardwareTask - DatastoreInfo is missing for Datastore:datastore - 131

  But apart from that, I don't see much... I do not see what seems to be warnings of Java, like this:

  Hey Jake,

  I don't know what could cause this problem, it's a bit you added the role of travel data store for the Foglight service account in vCenter. Could you please create a Service request with support?
  https://support.software.Dell.com/

  Could you also attach a support package for FglAM to the case? Please put the number of file here, or send it to me via private message.

  Thank you.

• A cluster of vCenter will share a single data store on a NAS?

  I have a vCenter 3 ESX host cluster. I want that these 3 hosts to share a single data store on a NAS (Dell Powervault md36xxi).

  
  

  The goal is that if one of the hosts go down, the other two still have access to the unique shared data store on the NAS.

  So far, I've been able to create a separate data store for each host on my NAS.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  Since we normally have a 1:1 mapping between LUNS and data store, if the three hosts share the same LUN, then they will also share the data store even... just the map the LUN to all three hosts, using the vCenter create a store of data with vmfs format and three guests will share the data store. If after having create the data store on the hosts of the first, if other hosts do not see yet the store data, just try to rescan the host for new storage devices and data warehouses.

• Share the data store between clusters

  Hello

  I want to add a second group to our existing data center and want to use the same data store (iSCSI) as for the first group. Is it safe to share between clusters within the same vCenter/datastore? All hosts are running the same version of vSphere 5.1 and managed by vCenter device 5.1. If additional information is required, ask.

  Yes you can share between clusters. You will share it on hosts. It won't matter for storage if the hosts are in a different cluster or a cluster, as you do at the host level.

• ESXi 5.0 servers don't recognize that same NFS share to the same data store

  I have a setup of vSphere 5.0 running VMware Workstation 8.  I have two ESXi servers that are accumulating the same NFS share (with the same IP address and the same directory path), but for some reason, they don't recognize it as the same data store.  I deleted and added to the data store again and checked that I am getting the same way on both nodes.  However, vSphere don't let me use the same name when I ride sharing NFS as a data store on the second node. vSphere changes the name of "NFSdatastore" to "NFSdatastore (1)" and will not let me change, say that the name already exists.

  The NFS file server is a VM of 2.99 OpenFiler, which IP 192.168.0.100 (and is in DNS as "openfiler1").  The path is "/ mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore.

  The NFS mount works great as a data store on the two servers ESXi, except for the fact that vSphere sees two data stores.  I have a Red Hat VM running on each of them, and when I browse the data of each ESXi Server store, I can definitely see two configs VM, as well as a few ISO images that I put on the NFS share.  However, I can't vMotion as he complains about not being able to access the configuration file and the file virtual disk (vmdk) of the other node.

  On the OpenFiler, the directory/mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore is the property of "ofguest" in the "ofguest" group, and the permissions are "drwxrwsrwx +".  All files under the directory are also held by "ofguest" in the group "ofguest".  Vmx files have permissions "rwxr-xr-x + ', and the vmdk files have permissions ' rw +-

  I did a lot of Google search, read best practices, etc.  Any help is appreciated.

  UPDATE: he Figured out - leakage / on one of the paths of NFS mounting.  DOH!

  Maybe this can help you:

• Recommendations or best practices around change of the audio data on a network share?

  I have several users editing audio located on the same network share. They are always complaining about the performance.  Is it a best practice to edit audio located on the network?  I see so many issues (latency time, possible corruption, etc.) with that from the computer SCIENCE point of view, but I would like the opinion of those more familiar with the application and its best practices.  Thanks in advance.

  It's crazy! So that any audio to be edited with any degree of speed and security, it must be downloaded to a local computer, edited on that, and then the final result re-recorded on the network.

  You might as well do this anyway - at the time wherever you make a change, you store a local version of the file temp on the editing machine, and it has real save, or save as who turned to the network drive. Also, you would be working on a copy, the original is still available in the case of the vis - is up, and would not be the case if you edit the original files directly on the network, so it is intrinsically safer.

• HA will only work if I share NFS data store in the cluster

  Hi all

  Please help me with my question below?

  HA work if I share NFS data store in the cluster? Even if if works is it advisable?

• VMDR - local data store

  Hello

  I would like to know if it is possible to create a local data store to use as the destination for VMDR?

  If so, how?

  The only option I get in VMDR is to add a network share.

  Yes, you can of course add the local data store as a destination for camera VDR.

  Step 1. Add a disk, virtual appliance VDR as you add a virtual disk to a virtual computer. When you create a new virtual disk, select the local data store and specify the size chosen.

  Step 2. Connect to the VDR thanks to the welcome > Solutions and Applications to destination you would see this space, format, and edit and your VDR unit is ready to be backed up.

  Hope this helps!

• VMware Server 2.0 CIFS data store bug?

  I posted this problem a few weeks ago, but I still can't solve, then I write it again with new information on the problem. I think it could be a bug in VMware Serever but I am not certain about it.

  I use VMware server 2.0.2 (b203138) with a Windows 7 Ultimate x 86 as vmware server host and configuration of the NAS data store. The data store hosts all virtual machines, including the ones configuration files, and it's a shared folder located in a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x 86 SP2. The network mode working group, not in mode active directory.

  Symptoms of the problem:

  • If you stop or restart the host server, when it is once again the CFS data store is unusable and VMS are inaccessible, even if all of them were arrested at the time of the restart.

  • The option to update the data store does not solve anything.

  • If the NAS data store is deleted and recreated from scratch, the machines are still not accessible. It is also necessary to remove and re-add the VMs.

  • If you only reboot the VMware services then you lose not the NAS data store or virtual machines.

  • If you only reboot the NAS then also you don't waste either the data store, or virtual machines, although they were in operation when you rebooted the NAS; the same happens if you stop communication network between the host server and the NAS.

  • A delay in starting services VMware does not solve anything.

  • I tried the start VMware services in manual mode, to be sure that there is full access to the NAS before starting the service, but VMware is still losing the NAS data store and virtual machines, this isn't a problem with permissions to access the network or network connectivity.

  Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

  This applies to all the BONES that I know. VMWare server 2.x just keeps the security attributes for authenticated access to CIFS shares underlying network based data stores you set.

  I see some information that it's actually worked in server 1.x version, but I can only confirm.

  I don't know if it is a bug or by design since this behavior has persisted through several versions 2.x, it can be design to users of reader for commercial versions.

  Good luck

• Windows Server 2008 R2 NFS mounted data store is read only

  I've done this dozens of times in the past, but not with this exact combination successfully:

  ESX4 U1

  Windows 2008 R2 Server Datacenter edition

  NFS Server installed. TCP Version 3.

  The normal configuration that worked in the past:

  NTFS security - total control on ANONYMOUS logon, everyone control total

  The local policies, network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users (applied automatically by Windows)

  NFS Sharing - ANSI encoding, allow anonymous access - UID = - 2, GID = - 2

  NFS share permissions - allow all THE MACHINES read-write, ROOT access

  The data store adds OK and appears in the list of data on vClient stores and can be viewed or directly via a Console logon.

  The problem is that the data store is read only! Nothing from ESX can write, delete, or update a folder or a file on the data store. Access Windows NTFS is very well.

  This means also you cannot boot from say a CD ISO on the data store, or create a VMDK guest virtual computer on the data store.

  Given that I had zero problems with this in the past, when with the help of ESX3 or ESX4 connect to Windows Server 2003R2 or several NAS with NFS devices supported I think Windows 2008R2?

  Has anyone seen anything like this before?

  I use it currently; It works fine, but it's the way that you configure the windows nfs export without having to use a mapping service (see images)

  Also, be aware that Windows System Cache is a bit less efficient than linux (but that's ok) you just need to add additional RAM at least 16 GB for the data store busy.

  I also recommend refining delays in setting up nfs for each virtual machine host:

  NFS. HeartbeatFrequency = 10

  NFS. HeartbeatFailures = 5

  And on windows change the properties of the NFS server in the locking tab

  customer collection lock wait 5

• vDR (1.1) and backup on a network share

  Hello

  I want to install vDR backup on a network share, but wanted to understand the best practices for the network share and if it's OK for her, which will be presented on the virtual Center Server.

  Also, if I wanted to copy this network share broadband (for storage on the site off the coast) is this OK. Anything to be aware off the coast?

  I read a previous post and she suggested that I need to power of the vDR device, to ensure that the store of deduplication is not in use (no integrity checks / ongoing backups). Is this the case?

  Thank you very much

  If I save the Windows share on tape, outside the backup of vDR

  window still would be that I have to turn off power VDR or disassemble the

  Share?

  Yes, because other non-backup operations can still function.  This can cause issues of contention between VDR data and the application copies the data from the store of deduplication.

  Or, I was controlling access to the share (via command line /)

  changes of the authorization) to allow access during the backup window, then once

  the backup window is closed I remove permissions for vDR can not

  more access the share?

  Interesting idea - I had never thought about this.  Theoretically, it should work, but we have never tried on in-house.

  If I have limited access to the share on time would be the vDR go up automatically?

  I don't think so, you will have to do it manually.

  (b) If a backup, health checks or deletions where progress before a

  share has been deleted what happened to active employment? It initiates

  When sharing is restored? Any chance of corrupted data?

  There is always a chance that the VDR done at that point in time.

• VDR can be saved in a data store

  VDR can be saved in a store of data or just on a network share?

  How can you save the data store?

  Well, we need to create a NEW data store or you can add a player to the VDR device, and put this *.vmdk on a data store, so you use a data store to store backup data.  I recommend sharing backup with your VM storage, for reasons of recovery after a disaster.

• Unable to save pennies on network share

  A user has problems recording on a share network as follows:

  His iMac runs El Capitan. She opens a PDF of his email and stores them on the desktop. She manipulates using Adobe Acrobat and recorded on network. However, it is now to find that when she tries to do a save as on the network share, the button 'save' is grayed out. I tested with Microsoft Word as well, and the same problem occurs. Recently it started to happen.

  If she copy and glue the documents from his office on the network share then there is no problem, and I told him to do this as a workaround for now. It seems to be no problem with its access to the drive that it maps without problem and she can open and manipulate documents from there. As a test, I tried this on her personal network drive and again the "Save" button is grayed out.

  I suspect there is a simple resolution to this, but I was unable to reproduce the problem on my Mac Mini running El Capitan - I can't save slot for readers network without problem. I searched the forums but cannot see a solution.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Solved.

• Connection to the AOP with several NIC data store

  I have a situation where I need to have the computer that is running the tiara to be connected to two different networks.  I have two NIC installed in the machine, NIC A and B NIC, we will call them.  The reason for this is that I use Diadem to access the server on a machine of AVL PUMA AO.  If I connect to the local network PUMA, PUMA sometimes breaks down, probably something to do with the IP address.  So PUMA has need to be on a network that is not a router.  My tiara computer must communicate with PUMA, as well as with local shared drives on our corporate network.

  In any case, I have the company LAN hung on A NIC and hung on NIC B PUMA network.  Tiara fails to connect when the two networks are connected, but connects to the data store no problem when that network PUMA is hung. Any ideas how to solve this problem?  It seems tiara is looking for NIC - A instead of NIC B, as appropriate.

  For reference, when the two NIC is connected, I can access other than readers, and separate computers to ping on both networks, without problem, is not a connection problem.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  -Russ

  I guess poth NIC have different IP.

  -Did you use IP instead of the server name.

  -Do you use RPC or CORBA to access the PUMA Server?

  -What version of DIAdem.

  You can create a log file when the connection has failed?

  Greetings
