• The data store name already exists

  Hello

  I have 3 hosts in my group and I am trying to add a 4th. The host, I'm trying to add part of the cluster, but it was removed there because it has been used a few weeks somewhere else. I have since reinstalled ESX and try to add back to the cluster.

  When I try and add a NFS data store to the host named "NAS-storage" added it is automatically renamed to "NAS-storage (1)", if I try the rename without (1) I get an error message...  "The NAS-storage name already exists." 3 other guests are currently connected to the data without any problem store.

  How can I fix it?

  I tried to reboot the host, restart the service of railway infrastructure and to rename the data store on the other hosts to something else.

  Welcome to the forums.

  Make sure that you add the store of data with exactly the same name/IP address and the name of path as those mounted on other hosts

  You can get the correct mount point by running

  esxcfg-nas -l

• Script Help: VM-> data store Associations

  Hello world

  Our VM names usually end with a number (WEB1, WEB2, etc.) and our data store names also end in a number. For redundancy of the application, we use warehouses of data whose names ending with numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending in even numbers and data warehouses with names ending with odd numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending with odd numbers. In the physical world, odd numbered data warehouses and the presenters are physically separated from those even.

  I tried to create a PowerCLI script to report incompatibilities (people make mistakes) so that I can know if any VM storage on the 'wrong' type of data store (same VM on odd storage or vice versa).

  I'm really green with PowerShell and PowerCLI and suspect that there is a way to use the Get - ViewType VirtualMachine view, but have failed so far.

  In my environment most VMs use more than one data store, so the script needs to check each store data used by each virtual computer for a mismatch and I want to run the report against my whole environment (a single VC server).

  If anyone knows something similar that has already been done or can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

  -Matt

  The attached script uses a regular expression to extract the number of the guestname and the datastorename.

  Then it uses the modulus of the division by 2 to check if it's a curious (1) or (0) number the same.

  When you compare these between the client and the data store, you will find differences.

• Hide/show elements based on the result of the existing function

  Hello
  
  I have a function that returns two values that are drawn from a process of application On Demand (thanks Shijesh!):
  

  function myAjaxCall()
  {
     var ajaxRequest = new htmldb_Get( null , &APP_ID. , 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getStatus',0);
     ajaxRequest.add('P11_PATIENT_ID' , $v('P11_PATIENT_ID'))
     //notice the below line.. use of split function
      ajaxResult = ajaxRequest.get().split(',')
     $s( 'P11_CCSS_STATUS' , ajaxResult[0]);
        $s( 'P11_COPAY' , ajaxResult[1]);
  }

  I'm trying to hide/show the other two items (P11_COPAY_COLLECTED, P11_NO_COPAY_REASON) based on the return value for P11_COPAY.
  
  Is it possible to add an IF statement for the function to show the two elements only if the value is equal to 'Yes'?
  
  I tried this, but then the two values (P11_CCSS_STATUS, P11_COPAY) are not returned, much less any hide/show:
  

  function myAjaxCall()
  {
     var ajaxRequest = new htmldb_Get( null , &APP_ID. , 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getStatus',0);
     ajaxRequest.add('P11_PATIENT_ID' , $v('P11_PATIENT_ID'))
     //notice the below line.. use of split function
      ajaxResult = ajaxRequest.get().split(',')
     $s( 'P11_CCSS_STATUS' , ajaxResult[0]);
        $s( 'P11_COPAY' , ajaxResult[1]);
  
  if ( $v ('P11_COPAY' == 'Yes' ) { 
       $x_ShowItemRow('P11_COPAY_COLLECTED');
       $x_ShowItemRow('P11_NO_COPAY_REASON');
  }
  else 
  {
    // Show Items 
  $x_HideItemRow( 'P11_COPAY_COLLECTED');
  $x_HideItemRow( 'P11_NO_COPAY_REASON'); 
  }
  }

  Any suggestion on how / if possible?
  
  Thank you
  Matt

  if ( $v 'P11_COPAY' == 'Yes' )
  should be
  if ( $v ('P11_COPAY') == 'Yes' )

• Please help: measure is missing from the data store

  Hello

  I have an a 20 TB drive data store and a magnitude of about 40 TB (local disks, areca raid controller).

  Thank you!

  Hello
  You asked for instructions on how to readd a missing measure.
  Basically, it's pretty easy:
  in the VMFS to VMFS-based volume header section, you can assign extends it.
  Lets say that the basic volume is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T3:L0:1
  first of all extend is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T4:L0:1
  second extension is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T5:L0:1
  Then you will see this string in the VMFS header:
  vmhba1:3:0
  and a little later

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T3:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T4:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T5:l0:1
  Just change the list of stretches.
  But: normally you can't change this section at all, and to add to the confusion, these values are stored in RAM is not trivial to change this value correctly.
  I highly recommend that instead of try it yourself and repeat all the mistakes I made while learning it - call me.
  I rather help you personally to give dangerous advice that will probably make things worse.

• Help with script from beginner to the data store and hard drives

  Hello

  I am quite new to scripting, and recently, I created a monstrosity below.

  The problem is with the results. I have no idea why in the results I get the name of the virtual machine and its data store over and over again until all disks are highlighted.

  Any help will be very very much appreciated.

  $vm = get-vm-name '$i '.

  $dysk1 = $vm | Get-hard drive | where {$_.} Name - eq 'Disk 1'}

  $datastore1 = $dysk1.filename.split("]") [0].split("[") [1]

  $disks = $vm | Get-hard drive

  {foreach ($disk in $disks)

  $hd += $disksize

  {$rekord += $vm.name + ";" + $datastore1 + ";" + $hd}

  $raport += $rekord

• Help with the data store migration script

  Hey everybody,

  I am currently responsible for the migration of disks in new storage. Each virtual computer might have multiple disks on different data warehouses. The script I'm working on that will check the VM for the disks located on a certain store of data, then if necessary to migrate the disk to the new data store. However, I'm lost. I hope I'm at least on the right track. Any help is very appreciated.

  Thank you!

  $csv = import-Csv-Path "e:\scripts\hunter\vantage_qadev.csv".

  foreach ($ent in ($csv))

  {

  $ds = get-Datastore ' QADEV_OS_HUS127 * ' | Sort descending FreeSpaceGB | Select-Object - 1 first

  $vmname = get-VM-name $ent.vmnames

  $vmds = $vmname | Get-hard drive | Select file name

  If ($vmds - eq "* QADEVOS_VSP986 *") {Get - VM $ent.vmnames |} Get-hard drive | Moving-hard drive - Datastore $ds}

  Else {Write-Host "Migration without any preconditions"}

  }

  That's what I did to make it work. The fact it's supposed to I would say...

• Cannot remove the data store in esxi 3.5 - can help you

  OK - I have a problem. I messed up and now I'm stuck.

  I was "apparently" in the middle of a converter working, and I deleted the comments of esxi3.5, while the converter still worked.

  I selected the rafale and made a removal of the disc that worked, however the structure of associated file (windows 2000 Server) for this guest has not been deleted, so I chose my data store (datastore1) and - do you have a store of navigation data and when I try to delete the folder associated with the guest, I deleted I get the following error :

  "General failure caused by file" (with a "/" on the next line) and all I can do at this point is to click OK box to acknowledge the error and I can't delete the folder. I can't rename it either.

  I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to create a new client with the same name as the folder and delete the comments again, but that does not work either.

  I'm really stuck - I'm afraid to go into maintenance mode because I have no idea what I'm going to be confronted here since I never used the maintenance mode.

  any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

  You can try to do a refresh of the data store. The folder structure is not re read very often. In the data store Navigator, click the folder root on the left side and click on the Refresh button.

  Hi, I'm trying to format a table with information from various commands, and I can't find out how to do it.

  Basically I want the table to have the following information:

• 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.
