Disconnect from the storage data store

• Import my own device from the host data store

  This is my first post so Hello all who read this.

  I am currently runing ESX 3.5i directly on the hardware of a test done home server (tests, the fonstionality before rolling it into production) here is my problem

  I could create and install an a virtual machine (windows 2K 3 R2 server) and once all the basic configuration were made I exported the virtual machine as a unit. now, the comand export will only export file on the computer of gest. I was able to download the 2 files (hard and .ovf) on the host's data center. Now, I would like to deploy a new instance of the VM on the server. But when I drop & gt; virtual appliance & gt; I have only the option import from the hard drive of gest. I want to do it directly from the data store, so I did not download the file whenever I ride on a new virtual machine.

  Just a note I will administer the trought host VPN exclusively in production so it'll take fo never download the entire server every time.

  I hope that I was clear enough, if not feel free to ask questions.

  Thank you!

  Edit: spelling mistake little

  Hello

  So if I get this right I would create a virtual (windows XP for example) machine i would be VPN on this machine open a remote destop window there and then open the VMware console in this environment and then use it to make my new server deployment. Did I get it all?

  That is right. The reason is mainly the latency. You will not have much and if the VPN interrupts the action you take also WITHOUT giving up and continue until you reconnect.

  Can you tell me if there is a more easier way to do it?

  It's the simplest way.

• Possible to deploy the OVF model directly from the local data store?

  Hey all,.

  I'm trying to optimize the consumption of resources and the speed of deployment of models of the FVO in ESXi 4.  Of course, the fastest and most effective way to do so would be to have the models of the FVO in a data store and deploy them directly to another (two stores on the same host).  That's what I'm trying to accomplish.

  Problem seems to be that when you use the vSphere client to deploy templates of the FVO, even when you point to the URL of the model on the same host (via http to the data store access) system, the vSphere client again retrieves the ESXi host files, then transfer their return.  So using twice the bandwidth on the host and the client system necessary.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to perform the deployment of a model of the FVO keeping all internal transfer to the ESXi host?  If anyone knows another method more effective than what I'm trying to achieve, I'm open to suggestions.

  All advice is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  -Ben

  The only way I can see that you can keep the internal traffic to the ESX host would be to have the vSphere client in a virtual machine running on the host computer, and configure your internal network Ms keep all traffic to the host

• remove the Cluster data store data store

  I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Display of the VM in the incorrect data store

  Hello

  I have 4 data warehouses and I've migrated a few VM data (DS) to another store, but when I discovered the 'data warehouses' in client VI still the virtual machine appears in the list on the old data store.

  I have traveled the old DS and I can confirm no there are the virtual machine and the .vmx file points to the new location in the settings of the virtual machine, so why the virtual machine appears in the list of the old (source) DS?

  Do you have something (for example ISO) attached to the virtual machine that may still reside on the old data store?

  Review the vmx file (downloadable from the browser data store) and check that there is no reference to the old data store.

• Disk groups are not visible cluster. vSAN datastore exists. 2 guests (on 8) cluster do not see the vSAN data store. Their storage is not recognized.

  http://i.imgur.com/BnztaDD.PNG

  Do not know how even tear it down and rebuild it if the disk groups are not visible. The discs are in good health on each host storage adapters.

  Currently the latest version of vCenter 5.5. Hosts running 5.5 build 2068190

  Just built. Happy to demolish and rebuild. Just do not know why it is not visible on the two hosts and the disk groups are only recognized 3 guests when more are contributing. Also strange that I can't get the disk groups to fill in vCenter. I tried two different browsers (chrome and IE).

  I have now works.

  All the identical 5.5 relies on ESXi hosts. All hosts are homogeneous CPU/sum of the prospects for disk controller / installed RAM/storage.

  I have work. I had to manually destroy all traces of the vSAN on each single to help host node:

  (1) put the hosts in maintenance mode and remove the cluster. I was unable to disable vSAN in the cluster, I made on each node host (manually via the CLI below) then disconnected web client vCenter and return to finally refresh the ability to disable on the cluster.

  esxcli vsan cluster get - to check the status of each host.

  esxcli vsan cluster drop - the vSAN cluster host.

  storage of vsan esxcli list - view records in the individual host group

  esxcli vsan storage remove-d naa.id_of_magnetic_disks_here - to remove each of the disks in the disk group (you can ignore this using the following command to remove the SSD only falling each disc in this host group).

  esxcli vsan storage remove s naa.id_of_solid_state_disks_here - this is the SSD and all the magnetic disks in a given disk group.

  After that, I was able to manually add hosts to the cluster, leave maintenance mode and configure the disk groups. Aggregated data of the vSAN data store is correct now, and everything is functional.

  Another question for those of you who still read... How to configure such as the VM storage strategy that migrates towards (or inspired) the vSAN data store will immediately resume the default storage policy, I built for VSANs?

  Thanks for anyone who has followed.

• VM shows always refers to the old data store after storage vMotion?

  All the:

  We have recently set up a SAN Equalogic and plugged into our environment vSphere. We are moving our VM to SAN storage, off the coast of local disk. After treatment of a virtual machine, we always show the reference to the old data store on the summary page when you look at this VM. However, when we look at the settings, HARD drive shows that the vmdk file is infact on the SAN?

  Is there a reason why it would still showing upward for both?

  Thank you

  (1) check if the virtual machine has snapshots and maybe its pointing to the old datatore

  (2) check if any ISO is mounted on the virtual machine to the old data store

  After the screenshot of the VM folder by browsing the old data store

• Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

  Hi all

  I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

  I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

  The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

  From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

  I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

  Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

  My Script up to now:

  # Variables
  $VC = "vc.domain.com" #vCenter Server
  $User = "domain\user" #User
  $Pass = 'test123' #User PW
  $VMName = 'scripttest' #VM

  $VmHost = "esx2.domain.com".
  $Datastore = 'ESX2-LocalData' #Datastore
  $BackupFolder = 'Backup' #Folder the VM gets classified

• VM shows this in the NFS data store after passed to the vmfs data store

  Hello

  (1) create a virtual machine using NFS datastore

  (2) had created a few snapshots

  (3) to migrate this virtual machine from the data to the local VMfs store

  (4) all the files are moved to the defined vmfs datastore

  (5) storage > > nfs_datastore > > objects > > VM > > vm is present

  (6) but when did change the setting of this VM, vm is present on the data store local vmfs

  The .vmsn file contains binary data text, so you better not change it manually. The purpose of these files is to be able to return to his instant partner. Depending on the configuration of virtual machines in time you created the snapshot, the virtual machine may require access to the old data store to access the files and folders in there when you return to this snapshot.

• Increase in the size of block of the local data store

  I tried from Googling and it involves a lot of things from the command line and seems to be different ways of doing.

  They say that I need to format the drive again and specify a block size.  But isn't ESXi installed on the same partition? If I reformat it, it won't get rid of the ESXi software?

  Where can I get easy step by step instructions on how to do this?

  If you have no data, go to Configuration / Storage and remove the existing data store.

  Then choose Add datastore.

• Multiple ESX servers to access the same data store

  We connect our ESX servers to an Equallogic SAN iSCSI using VMWare iSCSI card.   I have a data store that has ISO files to store.   So far, I can connect only this data to an ESX Server store on time.  I have to disconnect an and connect manually to the other.  We currently have a facility relatively bare bones (don't have vCenter again, grouping, etc.).

  Is there anyway to connect the same data store to multiple ESX servers?  I tried to adjust the volume of Equallogic SAN for read only (since I just need to read ISO files), but I can't connect to ESX servers when I do this.

  Remember that the volume is enabled for clustering.

  From v4.x Equallogic firmware, there is an option advanced on each volume.

• Why is that every time I open an application that my phone disconnects from the wifi

  Everytime I open an application that my phone disconnects from the wifi.

  Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

  (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

  (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

  (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth).

  (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

  (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

  (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

  (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

  (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes (ask for more details if you wish).

• Windows Media Player 12 will not play mp4, mp3, wmv files through IIS hosted local site when the PC is disconnected from the Internet

  I have an IIS Web site 6.1 on local 32-bit Windows 7 machine that serves HTML and MP4 videos via Internet Explorer on the local computer.  An internet connection is not necessary because it is all local storage and local accommodations through IIS.  IIS is configured to serve the MP4 videos in the form of downloadable files, don't not streaming somehow.  I have the right MIME type ".mp4" with the installation of "video/mp4" in the IIS server, so I don't think that's the problem.

  When the machine is connected to the internet, by clicking on a video link MP4 in any HTML page served by the local IIS server results in Windows Media Player opening and playing the video in its own window.  However, when the Ethernet cable is unplugged, by clicking on the same results of video link MP4 in Windows Media Player by opening its own window, and then display this error message:

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file.  If the file is on the Internet, connect to the Internet.  If the file is on a removable storage card, insert the storage card.

  It's almost as if Windows Media Player has a bug and since it accesses this media file via a URL, but the machine is not connected to a network, he thinks that this file is unplayable.

  When the Ethernet cable is disconnected, the local IIS server is still all the HTML code and ActiveX content except for media files.  I also tried to access MP3 and WMV files via the IIS server to see if Windows Media Player will open those when the computer is disconnected from the Internet.  These caused also Windows Media Player files display the same error message.

  I tried the VLC (VideoLAN) Player after changing the property file in VLC of WMP for .mp4 files extension.  With VLC installed and the extension changed to VLS property, I can download/open the MP4 video using the link in the web page served by IIS all when they are disconnected from the internet.  The only thing I can't do is get VLC player to open and play the video simply by clicking on the link in Internet Explore web pages served by the local IIS server.

  I would like to make use of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player with this IIS server that serves the MP4 videos rather than using VLC player.

  Thank you

  I finally found the answer to my problem:

  When they are disconnected from the internet, mysteriously, Windows Media Player 12 requires that you check a checkbox in tools > Options... > zone settings tab player called "Internet connection (ignore the other commands).  Once this box is checked and the settings saved on APPLY, then Windows Media Player 12 will play videos served by the local IIS server on the same machine, while disconnected from the Internet.
