Discs of ESXi supports local (UFS) as a Volume/vmfs/volumes - didn't want not!

Hi all

Updated from 5.5U2 to 6.0

A race of NAS VM using two disks using RDM (virtual) to get direct access to disks and smart State - created with the flag - z.

After the upgrade to 6.0, ESXi now mounted (s?) drive - which are SoftRAID(4) 1 and have a file system UFS - to/vmfs/volumes/sink. This happened only after the second start, but now there is no way back for me.

After the first reboot after upgrade, I was able to assign the disks to a virtual computer and restart it. On the next reboot, the problem above has occurred.

Perhaps interesting to note that the volume is not mounted as a VMFS storage (at least it seems), but directly in the folder/vmfs volumes - and it is not a symbolic link like usual data warehouses.

Tried Altready:

/ recreate the files with vmkfstools RDM

Unmount the volume/vmfs/volumes/disassemble sink via esxcli file storage system (using all the u/n/p options, but ESXi said he "can not find the nas drive", which is not really sense)

There is a thread on serverfault (not mine) with the same problem and similar details.

VMware - 6.0 ESXi RDM mounting as local volume - Super user

For the moment, I went down to 5.5u2 to access the virtual machine to work.

Any help is appreciated.

See you soon

It is possible to blacklist the ufs module with the following command to esxcli, and won't automount in volumes of ufs. the host reboot is required

    No, any device purchased from a country where the FaceTime is prohibited or limited to certain carriers can never have Facetime out of that country, or with other companies except those he goes on.

    If you want an iPhone for FaceTime, buy it in a country where it is not prohibited or limited.

    Also, note that iPhone warranty is limited to the country of purchase, so if something haopens to the iPhone that requires a repair of office you will need to consider physically return to the country of purchase.

    Its best to buy the iPhone in the country that you intend to use.

    I want to know if I activate this option, what effect to my environment and I can see this effect? Thank you.

    Hey,.

    What is happening here is that Appvolumes will check on what data store, the VDI is located and attach this data store Appstacks (if appstacks are in this data store).

    It is only of use if you have a storagegroup with mutiple data warehouses, otherwise it will always choose the 1 appstack you have.

    This is mainly done to make sure that you don't have to much traffic of data between servers and storage.

  • ESXi and local RAID 1 - do not know if it works

    I have setup a RAID 1 (2 discs) on my box of ESXi. Now I loaded ESXi and registered in with the vSphere client. In "The memory", is to show both of these drives. Should it only showing a?

    raid.png

    I thought that ESXi should see 'one' in the car for me to put on.and data warehouses, then the RAID controller would just reflect. But when I try to create a data store, it allows me to opt for the second time either of these discs on first, then the other drive. Is this job right? This doesn't seem to be just if I can just add warehouses of data on each disk individually.

    which means that you are not using the controller RAID HRDWARE and using your software RAID. in esxi software RAID is not supported

  • Alignment of disc with ESXi

    Hello

    One of my colleagues spoke to strengthen certain storage performance by aligning vmfs with the underlying storage and higher vm disks. However, he sent me it describes some fdisking in the service console. It already looks like a hard thing to do, but my question is, how can align the disk with ESXi. There is no real service console and using the Tech mode is not really supported. Does anyone have experience with disc alignment in ESXi? Is it really necessary or will it help?

    TIA

    Timothy

    From ESX 3.0 drives are already alligened. So the ESX 3i

    disks (VMFS volumes) are already lined up. Make sure that your VM disk are

    aligned and you should be fine.

    Doc for sale listed by Troy should help you determine how to align the drive of the guest operating system. My advice would bring just the data disk not the OS.

  • The disc numbers tags support

    Hello

    I have a problem since the last update of the firmware with albums divided into 2 or more CDs.

    All my music on my rocket is in mp3 with ID3 v2.3, UTF16 text encoding tags.

    All files belonging to the album even if they are on the first or the second CD have the same exact album label (not to mention the number of the disk), but have the right disk number in the number of disc label field. In addition, the number of the disk is mentioned in the name of the file.

    Here is my file name template:

    Artist, (year) Album (drive x) - XX track.mp3

    When sorting by name, all the songs are played in order through the disc number before the track number.

    Before the last update of firmware, I managed to get the album to play in the right order, probably because the "rocket" seems to give priority in the name of the file for the order of the songs.

    Since the last update of the firmware, the "rocket" seems to give more importance to the track number tag:

    the 1st track of the 1st disc is played first, the 1st track on the 2nd disc is read.

    then it's the 2nd track of the 1st disk, then the 2nd track on the 2nd disc and so on.

    Files with the same number of track belonging to different disk label are played one after the other, the track of the first album always practiced before the track on the next disc.

    This means that the files of sorts first rocket by tag number, track, and when there is a conflict, using file names to sort titles that share the same track number tag.

    I know two solutions of workaround for this problem (in disc number album track field, updated the tag number including before the track number disc number), but none of these corrections satisfy me. Number of disk in the album field means that I have to select the second drive, when the first is finished (I sort my music by albums). The second is more interesting, but it requires me to manually change the files.

    My question is; is it not possible for the "rocket" to take into account the disc number tag before other criteria when sorting of files in a future update?

    Add this feature to the "rocket" does not seem to require a lot of work for me.

    Thanks for reading.

    (oh, and support replaygain with selection of track/album gain would be greatly appreciated!)

    Yes Discnumber will be in the next update.

  • Cannot migrate VM between 5.5 ESXi versions: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several CPU features

    We receive an error message that I am trying to make sense. I understand very well the notion of compatibility, CPU, CPUID, masking and so on, after working on a competitor hypervisor. However, this error seems wrong (or needs better wording) based on my understanding:

    Here is the message:

    ----

    A general error occurred: the version of the product to the destination host does not support one or several features of the CPU currently use by the virtual machine.

    Characteristics of CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register are indicated with a '1' bit: x00x:xxx0:xx0x:x 000: x 0 11xx:00: 00xx:11xx

    ----


    This happened during the migration between two hosts ESXi with the same physical processors - in this case, a Westmere X 5650.


    The source host is on ESXi build 2068190 (5.5). The destination host is on ESXi build 1474528.


    The bits it seems to complain are:


    DTES64

    Monitor/MWait

    Cx16

    PDCM

    The punch line seems to be: "the product version of the destination host. However, I have trouble believing that support for these features have been added to ESXi between the two versions. If it were, VMware has been certainly silent about.

    For what it's worth, explicitly set us the CPUID masks in our virtual machines (no, CVS is not an option for us at this time.) This is the mask:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000100000011001010001".

    CPUID.1.ECX = "00000010100110001110001000111111".

    CPUID.1.EDX = "10001111111010111111101111111111".

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000001.

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00101000000100000000100000000000".

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Note that the bits of the message complains (2, 3, 14, 15) * are * in fact forced to '1' in our mask of cpuid.1.ecx. That means (if I understand correctly), ESXi does not have the virtual machine unless the host processor supports the feature. And in our case, the virtual machine will start with happiness on nodes, with both versions. It will be not simply migrate between them.

    So, long story short, is this a bug of ESXi? The error message is misleading? I understand something?

    Thank you


    Matt

    To use the masks feature VM in this way, you must replace all the 1 to your masks with-'s:

    CPUID.1.EAX = "00000000000000-000000 - 00-0 - 000-

    CPUID.1.ECX = "000000-0-00--000---000-000---".

    CPUID.1.EDX = '-000 - 0-0 - 0-

    CPUID.80000001.ECX = "0000000000000000000000000000000 -"

    CPUID.80000001.EDX = "00-0-000000-00000000-00000000000.

    cpuid.d.EAX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.ECX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    cpuid.d.EDX = "00000000000000000000000000000000".

    Zeros erases the features that are not available on your hosts Westmere, and dashes will leave the other one features.  The problem with those masks was forced to you certain features on who would have normally been off.
