• Cannot download the files of the virtual machine for the data store

  Hello

  I get an error message "connection to the server timed out" while I'm trying to download the files from the virtual computer from the data store.

  Although the ESX and my laptop are on the same network, I get this error message.

  Please let me know if I need to take care of something.

  Thank you.

  I think that hard & .vsmp be used & locked is why you are unable to download it. Try to download the file, whereas the VMs system is turned off

• Script to list all the warehouses of data in a cluster, the virtual machines on the data store and the host of the virtual machine is on

  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

• Show of virtual machines on a data store when they are actually on another

  We strive to delete old data store and moved everything out of him, but we can't delete it. We get a message saying call 'HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore' of object ' datastoreSystem-11599 "on vCenter Server 'servername' failed. ".

  If I go into the store of data view it shows 2 VMs there but if you look at the location of their virtual disks they are on a different data store.

  One thing I noticed was that a cluster of virtual machines was ISOs attached to their CD players who used to be on the data store, we want to remove but are no longer there. I was able to detach all the but the 2 problematic VMs always show an attachment in the data store, even if I managed to detach the ISOs.

  I was able to use the removal of the option of inventory and he disappeared from the view of the data store, but as soon as I added it back he appeared on this data again store even if the files are on a different data store.

  In the screenshots, the data store we want is missing is called delete. I have read that sometimes you can rename it, and then it will allow you to remove it but no go for me. I also read that you can remove it to connect to a host and then remove it, but that didn't work. You can also see that there is no ISO standard attached plus.

  We do not take it apart.

  You are the man! There were snapshots on virtual machines, and I removed and now its all cleared up. Thank you.

• 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:

  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 ($_.) FileTypeFullName - eq "VMware.Vim.FileInfo" - AND ($_.)

  Edit:

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

• Migration of storage when the virtual machine has several data stores

  How can I (or can I) use Storage vMotion on ESX4.0 U1 to migrate part of a virtual computer to a new data store?  I have a virtual machine with 5 data stores attached and move 1 data warehouses to a LUN of larger size.  What is the best method?

  On the "Select the data store" window, click on the button "Advanced". You can specify the location of each VMDK and configuration files.

• How to get a program to the shared program files and data on a different computer?

  I run an accounting program on a Windows XP computer that has all the programs files and data shared to our local network. This accounting program is also installed on several other machines, Windows 7, and I want to know, how I move these Windows 7 machines to use the program and data off the XP machine, instead of using local data files (static)?

  This has been fixed, thanks. I ended the program on the host computer, and on this computer I just run the .exe; i.e. I actually run the program on the host computer.

• Add virtual machines to a data store while changing the name?

  I am trying to create a virtual machine in standby (or more, I do not have a final number) in a second datacenter.  The goal is to have a copy of a group of virtual machines updated once a week as a relief.

  I'll use our SAN replication to keep them up-to-date, so once a week, I stop all virtual machines in the data store, remove them from the inventory and remove the data store.  Then on the side of SAN, I'll create a new copy of the data store, then add this data store to vSphere.  We will do a few rounds of network to ensure we have not any change in the network that should be taken in the virtual machine.

  The only changes to the virtual machine that needs to be done, are changing the vSwitch is logged in, that I understood, and to rename the virtual machine, either before being added, or when it is added.  Since it is a copy of a virtual machine running, I'm not able to add all virtual machines to the new data store.  I need either change the name of the virtual machine before being added, or when it is added.  All I have to do to change the name is add something like - backup at the end of the name of the virtual machine.

  Is it reasonably simple way to do this?  It seems that he was promised that we could do that and now I need to find a way to make it work.

  Thank you

  You can search the data for the VMX store you want to register a script like the one you'll find in VMX Raiders revisited.

  To change the name of the virtual machine, you will need to replace the line that contains the New - VM cmdlet with something like this

  $newName = $VMXFile.DatastoreFullPath.split('/')[1].Split('.')[0]New-VM -VMFilePath $path -Name ($newName + "-backup") -VMHost $ESXHost -Location $VMFolder -RunAsync
  

• What is the advantage to affect multiple virtual machines in a data store?

  Hello

  Quite a question stupid and basic, but I can't answer . What is the advantage of having multiple virtual machines in a store of VMFS data instead of having each VM in another VMFS data store? (eg. 3 VMs in 1 data store or 3 data warehouses and each virtual machine in one of them). I can only think about the ease of management for storage administrator because it creates only a single large LUN.
  
  Thank you

  By allowing multiple virtual machines in a data store, you can run more than 256 virtual machines in a DRS cluster.

  As a host has a limit of 256 scsi identification numbers, which means that it accesses no more than 255 LUNS shared. 1 scsi ID is used for local storage.

  In a DRS cluster as each host must be mapped to the same data warehouses to ensure that virtual machines can be moved on the cluster and run on any of the hosts.

  Now in my life as an architect VMware PSO I saw that a lot of virtual machines that require a single data store. The main reason to isolate a virtual machine on a data store must provide sufficient i/o performance. This can be achieved with other solutions than to isolate a virtual machine on a data store. Having a properly architected storage subsystem is crucial, vSphere can get out of a very large number of the IOPS / s. With technologies such as SIOC and DRS for storage, you can check that the virtual machines receive IO performance according to the needs.

• Is Microsoft Failover Cluster ESXi 4.1 Shared Disk of NFS data store, it supported?

  Is Microsoft Failover Cluster ESXi 4.1 Shared Disk of NFS data store, it supported?

  We have a request from MS Failover Cluster configuration on Windows 2008 R2 2 guests with a storage shared for a web application. However, there is no VMFS storage of data or the ability of the CF to presending RDM. So, I created the disks shared on a NFS datastore using option "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service" and have added the cluster disk and tested successful failover.

  But the MS cluster validation control cancelled storage and I want to know if that configuration is not taken because of supported.

  A notice would be useful.

  We are also working on setting up a cluster of ESXi for iSCSI storage, which can be leveraed for this purpose.

  Shyam-

  Its not supported.

  4.1, your only options supported are:

  • CF storage with pRDMs
  • iSCSI storage with initiators guest.

  Deleted file recovery can recover incomplete files, i.e. the part of these files may be missing.  Recover deleted files is much more reliable if recovery of a backup, instead of using recovery software.

  These things depend on the operating system and the file system.

  One thing, you can see: open one of these files damaged with a text editor, and then make sure that the constant % PDF is somewhere in the first 1024 bytes.
