• Can I remove this data store?

  Hello guys,.

  I free up space in a storage, and for that to work correctly, I followed the following steps:

  1. I created a new data store in other containers for storage.

  2 - I did a migration of storage of the old data store to the new.

  3 - remove the old VMDATA.

  At this point, I glued, because the old data store is not empty... West a strange folder inside, but I don't know if I can remove it, as you can see in the image below.

  

  The question is: can I remove this data store? The showing on the photo, UID is the same UID of the LUN I want deleted.

  I use VMWARE ESXi 5.1 Enterprise Edition Plus.

  Kind regards

  files and folder in dotted lines are normally for the metadata of the data store itself.

  so, you can delete the data without any problem store.

  BTW. If you delete a data store and it is still used by a virtual machine the delet-job will be cancelled. There is a small security bit set

• Empty data store will not be in Maintenance mode

  I have an empty data store, which is not in maintenance mode.

  It hangs on 'Waiting for all the virtual machine files be migrated from data store'... which is an expression that is not even appear in Google.

  

  Here are the contents of the data store

  

  I've migrated all guests who have been on it.  Disconnected the ISOs of the hosts that use and deleted all ISOs.

  The related strange thing is that some of the guests who were on the data store are still showing as being connected to it.

  

  Many assume that it is because she is always connected to an ISO image, but as you can see there is no ISO disk images and there is nothing to hide in these files.  I have not had no problem in removing the ISO images, and Yes, I have unplugged ISO images before fast vMotioning of customers.

  Why they always think that they are connected to something I don't understand, but I suspect that it is one of the reasons for my data store does not in maintenance mode.

  I'm under ESXi 5.1.0 799733 (custom build of IBM) on the BladeCenter HS22V blades.  Storage is connected by zFCP to a midsize v7000 IBM.

  I assume that this is a bug in the system.  Please let me know if I'm wrong.

  One of your virtual machines have the pictures that have been taken so that something (ISO, for example) was mounted on this data store?

• Cannot remove vSphere HA stuff to remove a data store

  Hello

  I am trying to remove a data store, but it is impossible to delete the HA heartbeat, and they are not deleted it I put my favorite heartbeat data for other stores of data warehouses in the cluster.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Have you read this KB? http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2055137

  You basically have vCenter Server 5.1 patch 1 installed? If not, and you want to upgrade to work around this problem, disable vSphere HA for Cluster parameters, delete the affected data store and then reactivate vSphere HA.

• Remove a data store

  I need to remove a data store so that I can reformat vmfs3 to vmfs5. It is my understanding that vcenter will not introduce any APD or correct payday loans? The LUN will remain visible to all guests, as I said I just need to remove the data store on this subject, so I can recreate it with vmfs5.

  I guess after I remove it, I should questions some hosts renumerisations (except done automatically vcenter) before I recreate?

  Thank you.

  You are right, since you don't anyone the LUN, there is no problem with ODA...

  Simply remove the data store and create a new one. After that you can rescan all hosts so that they detect the new format.

• Script in time of latency list vm e/s and the data store the virtual machine is on

  Hello.  We have a vsphere 5.0 environment and we live a latency of IO heavy.  I'm looking for powercli script will get the latency of i/o for each virtual machine and get the data store name, to what it is now.  We will access our storage on optical fiber.  I'm trying to get a good overview of the latency of IO in a nice view in a csv file.  I found what could be a good basis to https://communities.vmware.com/thread/304827?start=0 & tstart = 0 , but I'm not sure how to get the name of the data store in the table and I think that it is written to the nfs in any case storage.  Thanks in advance for any info\advice!

  Try the next version, it includes the average latency time read/write for the virtual machine and PAHO are / s average for the virtual machine.

  Since the CSV has a row for each data store, the values for the virtual machine are repeated.

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Safely remove a data store

  I need to remove for good 2 data stores.  I first clicked each guest vm using these data storages and delete selected.  Data warehouses now show as empty when he is gone.  Can I just to right click\delete each empty data warehouses?  I would like to delete the corresponding LUN on the SAN (VNX) as the last step.  Can someone verify that it's correct.  I remember having a problem with this some time ago.  vCenter is version 5 - ESX 4.0 U2.  Thank you.

  The procedure will be the same for 4.x, then Yes, there will be some host commands involved. It seems really involved, but it really isn't so bad. Much better than potential wickedness that could come to remove them is not the right way.

• Remove empty lines in the merged table

  I'm looking for a script that will find and remove empty lines from a table that contains fields of fusion.

  I have a table of data with about 800 cases. This table is used to merge a page report which shows the various components of the employee's income. There are about 20 lines in the table and 5 columns. I apply the merge fields to a table in my .indd file and merging works perfectly. However, there are several features/components of income who share not all employees. Therefore, all pages of the 800-page report contains several blank lines should I have deleted so that the remaining data lines to snuggle up to each other.

  I need a script that will find blank lines in an .indd table and delete them. I found the script that did this and works perfectly on an ordinary table with blank lines. However, it seems that a table cell that contains a merge field (< < myField > >) is not necessarily 'empty', even if the data in this field is Null. I found that after the merger, I can highlight a blank line, press DELETE, run the script, and the line disappears, as needed. But it manually thousands of times would frustrate the purpose of the script. Also note that I've rubbed my data file to ensure that no hidden formulas, characters or spaces. The "Remove blank lines for empty fields" option does not work on the fields in the table (it seems to me. If I'm wrong, let me know).

  It seems that I really need script which will remove references to empty merge fields after the merger. I could run and then my other script.

  I have spent hours on this and hope someone can point me in the direction of a solution.

  Thank you!

  You can remove the markers of merge field by doing a search and replace of TEXT PLAIN for and replace it with nothing. That should allow your script to work.

• Error during activation of data store single heartbeat

  Hello

  I have a cluster HA (5.5) newly created using vSAN as a data store unique. HA cluster is configured with das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore, but when I select vSAN datastore in the favorite heartbeat datastore, I get the following error:

  The userHeartbeatDs setting is not valid for the cluster NOMCLUSTER

  Google could not find a single post/page mentioning this error.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Perhaps this explains - it.

  VSAN part 9 - host failure scenarios & amp; vSphere HA Interop | CormacHogan.com

  Another notable difference with vSphere HA on VSAN, it's that the VSAN data store cannot be used for the heartbeat of data store. ...

  I guess that this is due to the local VMFS-L version used with VSAN that does not use the same locking mechanism as a VMFS default data store.

• Dreamweaver CC 2105 "internal data error - failed to receive data from the network.

  I haven't seen this error before and have used Dreamweaver for many years. But, I am getting very regularly (it's more than intermittent) since the last update of Dreameaver. I'm just checking if it's a bug in Dreamweaver, or a bug of Yahoo Web Hosting.

  What happens is that I log on my SFTP site (sometimes I can not yet connect), then try to download a file and get the message "an FTP error occurred - cannot establish a connection to the host." Internal data error. Unable to connect to the server. ».

  However, and this is the really, really bad bits, the file that WAS on the server (i.e. who was to be replaced) seems to be DELETED, i.e. * before * the update is applied (which is not because of the error). I don't know if Dreamweaver somehow did this or not, but this means that if you were, say, download a revision to top-level index.html file in your site, this file is no longer there, and visitors to your site then sees the * entire * structure of the files in your site - potentially catastrophic.

  I tried to empty the cache to Dreamweaver (http://www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/), but that makes no difference.

  Did someone else presents itself has found a solution for it (or identified the problem)?

  Thanks in advance!

  There was a few other messages on Yahoo and connection problems recently.

  Have you tried downloading using another FTP, Filezilla client program, yet?

  If the problem that is happening, it may just be a problem with Yahoo. If it isn't, at least your site will be updated while troubleshooting continues with DW.

• How to remove a data store abandoned?

  Hello! I am the systems administrator for my organization where we have HP P6300 storage attached to our cluster of ESXi5. Usually, if we need a new Vdisk to any virtual computer, we create a new vdisk in storage and add them as a new data store in Vsphere, then we create the file within this new data store vmdk. I had to remove a disk of a virtual server. The steps are as below:

  1 remove the data from the drive

  2. remove the disk from the virtual machine and delete the vmdk file

  3 remove the data from the cluster of data store store

  4. remove the data store

  5 remove the vCenter store data (inventory------Clusters data store and data warehouses-right click on the data store and delete)

  6 - anyone the vdisk to ESXi hosts

  7 remove the vdisk to Storage Manager.

  But I made a mistake and missed the STEP n ° 4 and 5.

  Now I see the attached message whenever I'm trying to remove it. Guidelines for this problem and remove this missing data store in the vCenter?

  Thank you

  Ali

  OK, you have a way of death. The only way to fix it must restart the host.

• Error - Unable to add data to the "unknown document.

  I had this happen to me twice in two days.

  The file I save constantly that I am, comes up with this error and I can't open the .indd file.

  I do not have any network, the new hard drive external or installed new updates that might affect things.

  What is going on??

  I appreciate all the help, and I'm not too computer savvy...

  Thank you

  Have you ever Save AS, that erases all the accumulated data change that accumulates and is therefore more useful once the case is closed?

  At this point, I would try a trip through the IDML as the first step. See remove minor corruption by exporting

• . Locker folder delete in an empty data store

  Hello

  I recently went through the process of moving all the data store host 2 to 1 data store servers. The only thing left on the 2 data store is a folder ".locker".

  Given that all the host servers are located on the data store 1 I am able to remove safely datastore 2?

  You can change the location of the config from scratch, but I wouldn't delete it.  Go to the tab of your ESXi Host Configuration-Advanced settingsConfig Scratch. There you can change the path

  (1) create a virtual computer

  Hi Gboskin,

  Take a look at the following doc:

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-6972

  The script can deploy vm in resourcepools, clusters and on esx hosts. You can specify warehouses of data, ip etc.

  On the site of the doc, I have an older version of the script, I will update as soon as possible.
