Data store to the way policy script host
Hi all
I use this little script to identify the host LUN political path and status, but hoped someone could help to change the LUN list with a naa starting with naa.600500* and rather than list the lunName data store name?
$lunpathinfo = @()
foreach ($vmhost in get-cluster "CLUSTER" | get-vmhost) {
$hostview= to seen $vmhost. id
$hostview. config . StorageDevice . multipathinfo . lun | % { `
$lunname = $_.id
$lunpolicy = $_.policy.policy
$_.path | % {
$pathstate = $_.pathstate
$lunpathinfo += ' | Select @{name = "Hostname"; expression = {$vmhost.name}}.
@{name = "LunName"; expression = {$lunname}},
@{name = "LunPolicy"; expression = {$lunpolicy}},
@{name = "PathState"; expression = {$pathstate}}
}
}
}
$lunpathinfo | Export-csv c:host_luns.csv
Hello, nicholas1982-
You can also retrieve the CanonicalName of LUN, so as to then be able filter on them. You can do filtering in the script foreach block, or, probably a more reusable way, return the CanonicalName as property and then filter on this subject. So, as:
&{foreach ($vmhost in Get-Cluster "CLUSTER" | Get-VMHost) { ## the .Net View of this host, with just a select set of properties $hostview = Get-View $vmhost.id -Property Config.Storagedevice.Multipathinfo.Lun,Config.Storagedevice.ScsiLun $hostview.Config.Storagedevice.Multipathinfo.Lun | % { ## the Lun "key" of this HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnit, to be used to get the corresponding ScsiLun of the same Key, so as to get the CanonicalName of the LUN $strThisMPInfoLun_LunKey = $_.Lun $lunname=$_.Id $lunpolicy=$_.Policy.Policy $_.path | % { New-Object -Type PSObject -Property @{ Hostname = $vmhost.Name LunName = $lunname LunPolicy = $lunpolicy PathState = $_.Pathstate ## the CanonicalName of the ScsiLun that corresponds to this HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnit LunCanonicalName = ($hostview.Config.Storagedevice.ScsiLun | ?{$_.Key -eq $strThisMPInfoLun_LunKey}).CanonicalName } ## end new-object } }}} | ?{$_.LunCanonicalName -like "naa.600500*"} | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture c:\Temp\host_luns.csv
As well as the new property, I changed things a bit:
- past the exit the ScriptBlock objects, for more later use/handling/filtering/etc.
- update the call to Get-View to retrieve only the specified properties (the properties actually used and necessary), for the love of speed
How to make this good for you?

We have warehouses of data which are seen by more than one cluster. I need a script that will display:
all stores of data seen by a cluster
the virtual machines on the data store
the host of the virtual machine is on
the cluster the host is in
The output I want is
name of the store of data, the VM name, host name, the name of the Cluster
any help would be appreciated
Pretty sure this will do what you need:
$report = @() Foreach($cluster in Get-Cluster){ $datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore foreach($datastore in $datastores){ $vms = $datastore | Get-VM If ($vms.count -ge 1){ foreach($VM in $vms){ $object = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{ Datastore = $datastore.Name VM = $VM.Name HostName = $VM.VMhost Cluster = $cluster } $report += $object } } } } $report | Export-Csv C:\Temp\VMs.csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture
If you only want to shared data warehouses you can then use
$datastores = $cluster | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore | Where {$_.Extensiondata.Summary.MultipleHostAccess -eq $True}
Hope this helps

install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server
Hello
I want to install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server.
My problem is that I can't make partitions to really separate them and I would reinstall esxi without wiping the data store.
Y at - it another way to put a record out of the raid only to install esxi.
I also do not install on a USB key.
Thank you

AZEL,
Can you give us more details about your current environment? What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?
My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store. Is this correct?

List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine
Hello
How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.
Thank you
If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html
A script that can help with the list of files to store data for a given virtual machine is dsbrowse.pl
Here is an example:

Migration of all the catalog items to a different data store in the same storage profiles
Hello
is any possibility to migrate everything in the catalog (time and iso files) to a different data store that has the same profile (Silver) storage group? Because I have 2 groups of data store with the same profile of storage (Silver) and I want to delete one of this cluster.
I found this kb: http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2058094 but it speaks solely of media files of migration between different storage profiles.
Have vCD 5.6.4
You happen to use rapid Provisioning? This is probably the only problem I can think of.
Environments that have no linked Clones or shadows created from them, you can just Storage vMotion them between the same storage policy data warehouses. Just make sure that the data store or a store of data clusters are visible in vCloud Director first of all in the framework of this storage policy.
When you use linked clones, I don't remember the exact process... I think that I have in my office somewhere (I'm at home now).

Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS
Hi people,
We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.
We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.
Following problem.
When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.
After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.
Any ideas?
Concerning
Jean
How did you the storage profile associated with the data store? via c# client or vSphere web client?
If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.
A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.
I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster). Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

Hello:
I wonder if there is a way to find the virtual computer (of esx, the data store, file, the pool and etc..) ID name of vSphere CLI power.
The goal is to find the virtual if name machine ID if known (and the same for esx datastore, record pool and etc..).
Thank you
Olegarr
Hello
According to my understanding, we can get the managed object ID of the virtual machines,
$serv = connect-VIServer-Server
Write-Output $vm. ID
The same with others, like first Get-VMHost, store in a variable and then the variable. ID gives you the code.
I hope this helps.

If I put in place an openfiler VM as a data store iSCSI & vmfs on two ESXi hosts, both ESXi hosts can access two data warehouses?
The reason why I ask, is that I have two hosts ESXi ESXi 4 running. I do my backups with ghettoVCB, which I modified to create thin backups on one of the drives the. I then wput them to the server, which causes them to become thick. Directly targets the backup in a vmfs iSCSI on the server in the face shop. It would save a step and the vmdk backup should remain thin.
Thank you!
The short answer is Yes. If you allow the ESX servers to see the LUN. This setting is configured to the Openfiler.

I need to eager zero a virtual disk while building a virtual machine. I found the eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task() under VcVirtualDiskManager function, which takes in 2 parameters:
name - (String) the name of the disk, is a path to the data store or a URL pointing to the virtual disk that needs to be inflated.
Data Center - (VcDatacenter) if the name is a path of data store, the data center for the path of the data store. Not necessary when called directly on ESX. If not specified on a call to VirtualCenter, the name must be a URL.
How can I get the correct path of data store given the virtual disk? I intend to iterate through the features of the virtual machine to get the disks.
Thank you!
Actually figured out how to get the path of the data store, and how a drive zeros. In case it is useful to share the code here:
var vimHost = vm.vimHost; VM instanceof VCVirtualMachine
var vDiskMgr = vimHost.virtualDiskManager;
for each disk
var features = vm.config.hardware.device;
for each {(dev var in devices)
dev.backing contains a lot of useful things...
If (dev instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}
a disc!
var dsPath = dev.backing.fileName;
System.log ("path of disk:" + dsPath);
Data var Center =
System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.datastore').getDatacenterForDatastore (dev.backing.datastore);
var vcTask = vDiskMgr.eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task (dsPath, datacenter);
wait
var waitResult =
System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.basic').vim3WaitTaskEnd (vcTask, true, 5);
}

Hello guys,.
I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
(1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).(2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
I need your help.
Thanks in advance!With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:
var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
Now put the new notes:
Start by creating a context
Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
Update the annotation with the new value property
configSpec.annotation = notes;
launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

ESXi host sees no data store after the reboot
Hi all
I'm new to the community and ESXi itself. Everything has been working great until today when I rebooted my host.
I installed it on a Dell T110 server, we had in the back for testing. It has a 250 GB HARD drive installed in the case. ESXi installed fine and I had 220 GB or more storage at my disposal. Multiple VM installed, and once again, everything seems to work properly.
Today, I wanted to activate usb passthrough for a Server 2008 VM I installed it, I went through the process and had to reboot the host at the end.
After the restart, he seems to have forgotten the HARD disk that is installed and is no longer, I see my store data or virtual machine access I had running.
There are a couple screenshots attachedthat screen what I see.
Thanks for any help or advice!
Is this the same controller that is attached to the 250 GB HARD drive? Passing the controller to the virtual computer may have unpresented it host, then you won't be able to access and to store configuration settings. Since this is a test system you can consider / try to run "Reset System Configuration" from the DCUI. If this does not work, you may need to reinstall ESXi of CD (the VMFS retaining of course data store).

I'm a newbie on ESXi and don't know what it takes to get ESXi correctly partition my drive SATA 500 correctly.
I will implement a laboratory unit to carry out tests for ESXi and ESXi is not quite correctly the disk partitioning or do not see a good partition in order to create a data store.
This system was able to correctly identify and configure a data store on a small 80 GB seagate SATA disk, however, this isn't quite enough storage so I swapped the hard drive and tried to re - install ESXi on the new hd.
I use a USB boot ESXi since and it is launched and configures the card intel pro1000 pci ethernet correctly. also correctly the id of the cpu and memory. everything seems fine and he is even able to see the hard drive.
Here are some screenshots of the process that I go through to make my data store...
on this photo-sous the column titled 'available' is 'none', also said, under the title 'san identifier' he said 'not applicable' - I guess that's not quite right?
and disappointment - failure?
I tried to go into the bios if there are some settings I need to do to get this hard drive set up... I don't understand enough about ESXi to find out why the drive is not found and configured correctly. is this a bios problem w / my system or a problem of ESXi?
pls help!
You have generally not, but it might be interesting to start with something like a Linux live CD and then using gparted or other to wipe all the top partition information.

Cannot add host to vCenter server as data store is shared with an existing host to vCenter
Recently, I removed a physical host to a virtual appliance of vCenter Server and am not able to add it to vCenter Server because I get an error message on the existing data store. I run a simple server vCenter environment with two physical hosts and shared storage. I've only been administering vCenter for a few months, so I'm relatively new on the technology and processes. I searched the Internet for a few days now, but have not found documentation everyone has the same problem I have (which I find strange considering the simplicity my problem and configuration), so I tried to get help from the community of VMware.
I received an error message a day this vCenter Server cannot connect to either of the two hosts so I removed the host (rather than disconnect and plug as I should have done). Now, I am not able to connect to the host to vCenter server because the shared storage data store comes into conflict with the same data store used by the host in vCenter Server. I get the error message is ' "Datastore"datastore_name"is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (ds: / / / vmfs/volumes/UUID /), but is supported by different physical storage." " I try to remove the host data store, but get the following error message: "resource" data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: UUID' is in use. ". The error stack said: "'HostStorageSystem.UnmountVmfsVolume' call failed for object 'storage system' on ESXi"IP address"." Cannot unmount volume ' data store name: datastore_name VMFS uuid: 'UUID' because the file system is busy. Correct the problem and retry the operation. "I tried to delete all virtual machines of the inventory, put the hosts in maintenance mode, restart physical hosts, but none of my troubleshooting contributes.
I don't know what steps to take to get this data store driving with the host so that I can add it in vCenter Server. You can provide me with any help is appreciated.
Good thing you already moved the VMs on. For what is 'disconnect', 'remove' or 'delete' might work anyway. You should maybe put the host in maintenance mode or even reboot the host before you can remove data warehouses. In an extreme case, I even had to remove the host and the hypervisor installed completely rebuild on the spot. It is not that difficult or does not take long to reinstall, so be not afraid on this subject. A clean reinstall could still save time compared to the deletion of data warehouses.
