  Hola,

  UNA opcion posible what me compares (tema obviando converter) that you do UN snapshoot temporal (depende del tipo mv hay than tener cuidado) y despues ' con calmed her "mueves (for example using fastscp/winscp) el fichero .vmx config y el hard store of data/esxi.

  UNA vez take her copia borras el snapshoot en el origen.

  There is!

• Problema Storage VMotion

  Hola,

  He tenido a problema con el storage vmotion is the virtual machine will ha been parada y sin poder arrancar. Error of El ha sido el siguiente:

  An error general system: Storage VMotion: consolidate online in case of failure: a necessary file was not found. Must manually consolidate the records of the child.

  That means melting manualmente estos discos? Como puedo hacerlo?

  Data store El donde tengo maquina ha been, cada uno los discos, con a fichero delta, como cuando haces UN snapshot. Supongo lo usa durante el proceso del SVMotion y como no ha terminado correctamente to han been alli.

  Someone can help me?

  Buenas Masill

  Svmotion El you crea durante el proceso una 'snapshot especial' in los discos mover HA there're the what ha been enganchada al fallar el proceso, instant estas tienen nomenclatura-dmotion < disco > hard

  If miras el directory of the Máquina deberias ver algo como esto:

  Maquinita - flat hard

  Maquinita.VMDK

  Dmotion - scsi0:00_Maquinita.vmkd

  Dmotion - scsi0:00_Maquinita - delta.vmdk

  Lo primero antes of nada, if you can, haz una copia of you virtual Máquina para as tengas a seguro in case of disaster

  Luego brought melting las snapshots utilizando el comando vmkfstools para building UN fichero con hard snapshot is established of este modo nuevo: vmkfstools-i < del fichero snapshot number > < Nuevo fichero >

  Pejplo: vmkfstools-i dmotion - scsi0:00_Maquinita.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/LUN1/RecuMaquinita/maquinita_disco1.vmdk

  Boring este paso con cada Georgia disco.

  UNA vez are tengas todos los discos consolidados, anadelos has the virtual machine sustituyendo a los 'cascados' e brought the Máquina arrancar.

  Espero you ayude

• Se you can hacer Storage vmotion con Poole came con composer?

  Hola todos,

  Tengo labor Poole came con composer y el performance are practicamente igual al una Máquina sin composer

  Lo estaba tratando hacer're mover una Máquina fue created a pool of composer hacía datastore pero otro dentro sale me el editor that error.

  MI pregunta're TR estar creadas por las vm con composer not to pueden migrar an otro data store?

  Hola,

  Storage vMotion none are compatible only instant con, y entendiendo as composer works a base of Snapshots, clearly no ambos are posible usar.

  The main sound system questions:

  E' possibile in schedulare have automaitca he moves delle macchine da uno storage all'altro per effettuarlo in momenti different?

  E' possibile usare lo Storage VMotion tra sottositemi CF e iSCSI?

  Ciao

  E' possibile in schedulare have automaitca he moves delle macchine da uno storage all'altro per effettuarlo in momenti different?

  If, vai in vcenter home - tasks scheduled, e crei un nuovo task di tipo "migrate a virtual machine" da li in poi lo configuri con all the available options.

  E' possibile usare lo Storage VMotion tra sottositemi CF e iSCSI?

  Absolutely if, lo spostamento is tra datastore vmware indipendentemente dalla tecnologia below.

  Critiche sono basate su Oracle applications due, ho letto che migrazione Può avvenire has caldo, senza Tessera del servizio e che e garantita integrita dei dati. It e some controindicazione by Oracle?

• Storage VMotion - a general error occurred: could not wait for the data.  Error bad0007.

  People,

  I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.

  Here's the context:

  We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.

  We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2

  VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.

  Here's the problem:

  I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.

  The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.

  I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:

  "Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data."  Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »

  After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes

  • Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.

  • Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.

  I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.

  When I dig in the newspaper, I see these entries in the journal of vmkwarning:

  At this point, I'm stuck... What is Windows RCLI? the vcenter Server? or the service console with not enough of RAM? We have already increased all our consoles service 512 MB...

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  Thanks in advance.

  Alvin

  The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.

  See if that helps the issue.

• question of vMotion and storage vMotion

  I have everything set, UCS 5108, ESXi host, VMs, I don't have a SAN connection yet... My question is if I can enable vMotion? Let's say I have a cluster in vCenter, within this group, I have attached two ESXi host, win2008 VM in an ESXi and running, I can migrate (using vMotion) as win2008 VM to an another ESXi without connection SAN?

  How storage vMotion to an ESXi host hardrive to an another ESXi host hardrive? Is this possible?

  Note: I have not connection SAN in this configuration

  One of the requirements for vMotion is shared storage that would allow visibility between source and destination ESXi hosts. (SAN, iSCSI or NFS).

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R41/vsp_41_dc_admin_guide.PDF

  pages 210 to 215

  You can use OpenFiler as an iSCSI for lab tests SAN

• VM VCS-E drop off air after storage vMotion

  We had a VCS-E, which dealt with a few calls.  VMware has performed a task of vMotion of storage on the server and the VCS-E completely dropped out of the air.

  Cisco has said that vMotion is taken in charge even if you may lose packets (although he said nothing about storage vMotion).  However, this time fallen completely out of the air box until I restarted the VCS-E interface vSphere, after what he came back fine.

  Versions of the software:

  ESXi 6, VCS X8.6

  Any ideas?

  8.6 do not officially support deployed on ESXi 6.0.

  Official support is not added for ESXi 6.0 up to 8.7 - looks too that there is a known issue with ESXi 6.0 which is exceeded in the Notes on the network connectivity that can align with this situation.

• Question of Storage vMotion

  Hi all

  Newbie VMware admin here, I hope it's an easy question. I have several boxes of Microsoft SQL I need to move the drive on which the operating system is installed on, they have all RDM attached when I try a storage vmotion, it looks like her wanting to move all the drives instead of one, i have never attempted to move a system with RDM attached to it, but I need to get away from this former storage we have urged. All tips are appreciated thank you!

  Thank you

  You can migrate both at the same time, even if you choose a different destination.

  You're welcome and don't forget brand useful and/or correct answers.

• Storage vmotion very slow

  Storage vmotions run very slowly. The virtual machine that has a 60 GB HARD drive. I tried different storage and still the same result. I have even upgraded to a network of 10 GB with the same results. I opened an evidence of support and the engineer told me vmotion will not use the link in full speed but it seems quite slow for the numbers I get. I hope I have provided enough information below for assistance. I hope that it is something I am doing wrong...

  Hosts:

  3 x ESXi host. Two are updated to version 6.0 1 and a version 5.5.

  Dell PowerEdge R610

  Xeon E5540 - 8 x 2.53GHz

  48 GB OF RAM

  10 GB for storage and vmotion traffic

  4 x 1 Gb NIC for vm traffic interconnection

  All storage is on the shared storage. The only local thing is the operating system

  VMware EVC mode for the production of Intel's Nehalem.

  Storage

  Supermicro NAS 2 to 4 x 4 RAID 10 storage pools

  Integrated 10 GB NIC

  QNAP TS - 469U - PR to 4 x 4 RAID 5 NAS

  2 x 1 GB NIC aggregated link

  Network

  All 3 hosts and NAS are connected with a Netgear dedicated 10 GB switch (low-end model).

  Using a standard vswitch

  Problem

  1 ESXi host has a computer virtual stored on storage on NAS Supermicro 1 pool. When a storage vmotion is running on a virtual machine that has a 60 GB VMDK, it takes a long time to complete. He started at 09:36, and is now 61% fine at 10:58.

  2. the network of 10 GB is where the vmotion traffic is allowed.

  3. If I use a link to 10 GB or a 1 GB link, I get the same speed.

  4. I have disabled all VM at a time given for the trial and who has not helped either.

  5. I tried a QNAP so storage vmotion, and I get the same speed.

  I use connection CAT6A cables. I have fine tuned for storage, and it seems to work better now. Seems to be linked to "writing - sync" as ESXi.

• Sequence of migration for storage vMotion?

  Hello

  I'm moving a couple of virtual machine data to another store.

  I noticed that different virtual machines get different status, such as:

  Copy of the files of virtual machines

  The active state of VM migration

  Resources currently used by other operations... Pending

  I know that it should migrate the active state of VM and then copy the files from the virtual machine.  However, for a machine virtual, it is already 67% current but status is always "the active state of the Virtual Machine migration."

  Is there that an article mentions the details of Storage vMotion?

  See you soon

  Resources currently used by other operations... Pending

  This is because for each host, we have 2 simultaneous storage vMotion migration limits, so if you raise more, system will be queued.

  about the documents, please see suite PDF, this technical white paper concerns the performance and best practices, but it has rather nice, explanations on memory storage Migration and VM migration.

• Storage vmotion esxi 5.5 to 6.0 does not not for some vm

  In a test cluster with 2 nodes with no storage storage shared (local only), host vmotion 5.5 to 6.0 host does not work.

  before the upgrade, I moved all the vm to a host.

  Then I upgraded to 6.0 host and tried to move all the VMS to the host 6.0 updated (moving host + storage).

  20 VM, 5 have been moved to the new host.

  Everyone always get error below.

  The VM Client are all the vm version 10 (but some of them improved 8 or 9).

  ClientOS Windows 2008, 2012 r2 and linux. Some with vmx3, some with e1000.

  The machines can be moved when turned off.

  After the off-vmotion, storage vmotion from 6 to 5.5 and return of 5.5 to 6 works again.

  Any idea to solve this problem? Maybe it's a bug with vsphere 6.0

  Given that some machines were functioning and vmotion later in both directions from 6.0 to 5.5 works, I think that is no configuration error.

  Hello

  It seems that there could be a bug or that guests have difficulties to negotiate the transfer of drive on a network. VMotions storage are carried out via the management network (limitation of hard due to the codification)-are you sure that management networks are not overloaded or that they operate at the desired speed? This also happens with machines that have actually disabled followed block? It seems that this could be a problem.

  In addition, you use the 'old' client or Web client? It is possible that some features in vSphere 6.0 may have been omitted in the old thick client.

  Below are the errors:

  Thanks for the answers in advance and good luck!

• Storage test 55 certification vmotion, storage vmotion fails with "Could not lock file" on the virtual machine during storage vmotion

  In my view, that it is a known problem in ESXi 5.5 Update 2 release notes, someone knows a solution yet? This is an excerpt from the release notes:

  • Attempts to perform live storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail
    Storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail and virtual machines can be considered in turned off of the State. Attempts to turn on the virtual machine fails with the following error:
    
    Cannot lock the file
    
    Workaround: No.

  VMware support for the record said that the patch will update 3, it is known as an intermittent problem. Finally, it happened to me on the 9th attempt.

• Storage vMotion

  virtual machines from one storage to another does that 2 simultaneous connections. If I understand well ESXi5,.0 should support up to 8 with 10 GB. Will be setup here to twist?

  Thank you

  The maximum Storage vMotion simultaneous operations by host is 2... You may think that the maximum number of vMotion (not Storage vMotion) which is really 8.

• double control system - storage vmotion with or without storage in common?

  If I have a cluster of existing (vsphere 5.1), where 5 guests are all connected to the FC storage, and then I create a new cluster (managed by the same vcenter) with its own storage space, and leaders of each group DO NOT access other cluster storage:

  I can storage vmotion a computer virtual from one cluster to another?

  Y at - he of the opposition? Takes if press the company or company longer? The servers are in the same cluster, or is simply to be managed by the same sufficient vcenter?

  Hello

  It is possible to check this: VMware vSphere 5.1
