• Impossible to disassemble a data store

  People

  I am not able to disassemble a data store. The validation of the VM presence test is a failure. I checked there is no virtual machine running in the DS. Initially, there are two files orphaned hard which I deleted. But it still does not allow me to disassemble the DS.

  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Even if the files are present in the data store, you can remove the data store (VMFS file system) on the LUN device. I've attached screenshots step by step where I did exactly the same activity on our environment. Here, I had some files on the data store that I wanted to turn off unwanted. Let me know if you can follow it without problems in your environment. -Thor.

• Disassemble the help of data store, modify the existing function

  I would like to change the below function to pass a single host settings and a data store single instead of doing all THE hosts connected to the lun.  I would like to be able to specify the news.

  }

  I tried to change it to this, but don't think I have it correct.  I would run like this preference:

  $esx = get-vmhost hostname

  Disassemble-Datastore - VMHost $esx - data datastorename store

  Function

  Remove Datastore {

  [CmdletBinding()]

  param (

  [

  }

  $hostview = Get-View $VMHost. Key

  $StorageSys = Get-View $HostView. ConfigManager.StorageSystem

  #Write - Host "disassembly $($DS.) VMFS Datastore The name) host $($hostview.) (Name)... »

  $StorageSys . UnmountVmfsVolume ($Datastore.) ExtensionData.Info.vmfs.uuid);

  }

  }

  Try it like this

  function Unmount-Datastore {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
      [VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VMHostImpl]$VMHost,    [string]$Datastore  )
  
    process {
      if (-not $Datastore) {
        Write-Host "No Datastore defined as input"      exit    }
  
      $ds = Get-Datastore -Name $Datastore    $hostview = Get-View $VMHost    $StorageSys = Get-View $HostView.ConfigManager.StorageSystem    #Write-Host "Unmounting VMFS Datastore $($DS.Name) from host $($hostview.Name)..."
      $StorageSys.UnmountVmfsVolume($ds.ExtensionData.Info.vmfs.uuid)  }
  }
  

  Given that the data store is defined as [string] I suppose you pass the datastorename.

  So you'll need to get the data in $ds store object

• SWAP file data store remove issue

  Hello

  I'm currently moving VMs to the data store newly created as well the datastore file swap. I have already change on all ESXi hosts, the data store were swap file will reside, however, I have still a few virtual machines on the old data store. I know not if I vMotion virtual machines from one host to another it will change the location for the swap file. My question is, can I just remove the old data store without affecting production not VMs remained the swapfile on the old location? Just try to find a solution faster than vMotion every single one of the virtual machines.

  Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

  Hello

  As long as all hosts are no longer using the data store and the cluster is not defined using volume swapfile host (rather than storing with VM) then you should be able to disassemble the old swap partition.

  Bare in mind, vMotion/svMotion a virtual computer, you must be sure to move all the files and the virtual machine is set to store his exchange with the virtual machine files. Check that the old swap partition is no longer in use, and then take it apart. In theory the fastest way is to ensure that all VMs are defined to store swap with virtual machine files to the off and on again, forcing a new .vswp file in the same device. But it would of course affect your VM availability.

  I've seen in the past that even if the volume was no longer used by the guests, that guests required a restart until I managed to remove the old Exchange store data, just in case you meet that!

• Good way to delete a data store

  I'm not sure this is the right forumr for my question. If not, can someone please point me to the right one?

  I need to remove two LUNS on a storage (HP LeftHand).

  I have to perform the activity during execution of virtual machines and I can not create any problem or performance for VMS running problem.

  So I need to create a checklist as accurate and complete as possible...

  Here's my Checklist:

  • I removed all the VMS since data warehouses
  • I deleted all the files from data warehouses
  • I removed data warehouses from the list of data used by pulsation HA stores
  • I checked that the sacratchconfig. ConfiguredScratchLocation for each node indicates a different datadtore of those that I am giung to remove

  Can I safely remove the files inside the folder .vSphere-HA?
  Should what else you check before removing the data store?

  Is there anything else I should consider?

  For well detach and remove datatores take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004605.

  In fact, there is nothing which will cause problems. If you try to take it apart (or delete) a data store it will work either (if anything accesses the database), or you receive an error/warning message. Once a datatore is disassembled or deleted, you must detach the LUNS for each host, and - after unpresenting a LUN of Lefthand CMC and run a new analysis on the hosts - you can do the cleaning (esxcli storage core detached unit remove d NAA_ID) on the hosts.

• Orphan data store

  Howdy! We have a very minor problem with the removal of a data store ancient and inaccessible. The pleasure is gone, it appears same for one of our admins. It was a local storage on one of our 3 old hosts. Since then, we have moved to a SAN implementation with 4 new hosts. The data store is as inaccessible, which makes sense since the host used store is no longer in production.

  Disassemble is greyed out, and there is no host associated with the Bank. There is an old VM that has since been moved to a new SAN data stores. I double checked by starting a migration of data store = > advanced on the virtual machine and verified that the files of the virtual machine are not pointing to the old store.

  I have two questions. One, how in the world I have remove this entry in my list of data warehouses. Two, why would he appear for me and another admin, but not the 3rd admin?

  
  Thank you
  Brenden

  I have it! I had to delete the associated virtual machine to inventory and re-register again.

• Ghost in a data store VMs

  Hello;

  I need to remove a database on my ESXi 5.5 HA/DRS cluster due to storage issues.

  VCenter watch 3 VMs running in the data store but it is not a correct information. Vcenter also shows that space 0 B used for each virtual computer. So vcenter won't let me not disassemble the data store. When I look at the parameters of each virtual computer, these virtual machines running in a different data store.

  When I try svmotion, it says completed successfully but VMs are still stuck in the data store.

  Can I turn off all 3 VMs, remove/remove datastore and turn on those virtual machines, but I find that it is so risky. Because these virtual machines are essential and hundreds of GB.

  How can I remove the data safely store?

  Thanks and greetings

  Tirelibirefe

  First of all, check if one of those VMS have any ISO mounted this data store... and even if it there is no ISO standard not mounted, check if there is place of the snapshot on the virtual machines and delete them, cause maybe the ISO was mounted when the snapshot was taken.

• Detach a lun using the data store name?

  All (or Luc lol)

  I am wanting to use the disc to detach function, but instead of passing naa.id, I wish I could pass the name of a data store already disassembled data store to get the id of the naa. I would also like to pass a list of hosts, rather than to all guests who tied it.  I watched Alan functions but its going to each host rather than being able to move from a specific host.

  I took a slap at him earlier, but I'm a little confused on how to do it.

  http://www.lucd.info/2011/11/25/LUN-juggling-in-vSphere-5/

  Any help?

  With a small change to the functions of Alan, you can use a parameter of VMHost.

  In there, you specify one or more ESXi servers where the data store must be dismounted and detached.

• How long does take to dismantle and re-scan a single data store

  Hi all

  I am currently using vSphere 5.0 to manage 3 x 5 ESXi hosts. I am trying to use the host VM 2 for surebackup data store and virtual laboratory of Veeam. I had already used the same data store and removed. Now try when I set up again on the same data store, it generates the error Create NAS Datastore - specified key, the name or the identifier already exists.

  After reading about the issue, I've seen the way to solve this must dismantle and Reanalyze the data store that produces the error. As I've never done this before that I was wondering if someone could share their own experiences? I need to move the exisitng s VM from the data store before I have to dismount and perform a new analysis or any point throughout this process?

  Some details on the data store:

  Composed of disks SAS 4 x 300 GB in RAID 5 with a total of 831,50 Gb. There are 8 VM running on this server using 400 GB on the Go 831,50. 4 virtual machine are essential and must be operational during the time leading to opening (9 - 5.30 pm). These total 222 + 39 + 33 + 69 = 363 GB. The data store is not shared between hosts.

  The migration of virtual machine for the other guests, I'm able to estimate (if necessary). What I'm really interested in is the length of time that it will dismantle and Reanalyze the data in question store.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Haydn

  You must move the virtual machines before you take it apart

  or close the virtual machine and to unsubscribe to esxi.

  given that the data store is not shared, you must do the migration of data store for virtual machines such as migration cold.

  Disassemble and analyze new shouldn't take more time, let's say less than 2 minutes if each works fine.

• root properties in the connected data store: error when accessing the date/time storage

  When you browse the properties my connected data store I get an error message when you try to read the value of the property of 'storage date/time': object doesn't support this property or method.

  Here is a minimal example:

  Dim oMyDataStore, MyProperty, oMyProperties
  
  Set oMyDataStore = Navigator.ConnectDataStoreByParameter ("TOC", "" & "C:\Program Files (x 86) \National 2012\Examples\Data\Example_data.tdm" & "" ')
  
  Set oMyProperties = oMyDataStore.RootElements (1). Properties
  
  For each MyProperty in oMyProperties
  
    Call MsgBoxDisp ("property name:" & MyProperty.Name & + "\n"&"property value:" & MyProperty.Value "")
  
  Next

  Why can I not access this particular property by default?

  Hi Phex,

  for the date/time properties, an object called UsiTimeDisp is returned. This object allows to that extend features of service as access to each part separately (day, year, hour, seconds,...) of your date/time value. If you want to print the value of time with MessageBoxDisp, you can use the VariantDate this object property.

  Your code might look like this then:

  Dim oMyDataStore, MyProperty, oMyProperties
  
  Set oMyDataStore = Navigator.ConnectDataStoreByParameter ("TOC", "" & "C:\Program Files (x 86) \National 2012\Examples\Data\Example_data.tdm" & "" ')
  
  Set oMyProperties = oMyDataStore.RootElements (1). Properties
  
  For each MyProperty in oMyProperties
  
    MyProperty.DataType = eTime Then
  
      Call MsgBoxDisp ("property name:" & MyProperty.Name & + "\n"&"property value:" & MyProperty.Value. ' ") VariantDate)
  
    On the other
  
      Call MsgBoxDisp ("property name:" & MyProperty.Name & + "\n"&"property value:" & MyProperty.Value "")
  
    End If
  
  Next

  I hope this helps.

• 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

• Need help with a Citadel of DIAdem data store opening.

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone can help me to connect to a Citadel of DIAdem data store. I've read all the online help and cannot operate.

  On my PC, I use DIAdem v11.1 and v6.1 Lookout installed as a plugin. I am trying to connect to a data of Citadel store 5 on a server visible in the image below, specifically the default database on HPSERVER1. The installation of MAX on HPSERVER1 tells me that there are 2 versions of LabVIEW Run-Time installed, 8.2.1 and 9.0.1 (I don't know if this is relevant).

  

  When I select \\hpserver1\default_database, I then set the properties as follows:

  

  In the Advanced section, I'm the deadline set to 90 seconds. When I hit OK, then I get the following message, which then brings back me to the previous screen.

  

  Any help is very appreciated,

  David.

  Hi David,

  6.2 Lookout CLIENT is for people who do not have installed Lookout but still want to connect to a database of Citadel with DIAdem.  This works for databases Citadel created by Lookout as long as those created by LabVIEW DCS, is said by the way.

  In your case, you have already installed Lookout, you don't need this additional client software.  There is no improvement in functionality in this interface between 6.1 and 6.2, so you do not miss anything, and youre data import is already working.

  I don't know about lookout not appearing is not in the License Manager, etc.  I'm sorry.
