ESX 3.5, browse window of data store is empty, no file listed hard but hard in directory.
Hello community VMware.
Re: ESX 3.5 host - you guys have seen this before.
I'm trying to finish what I thought was the simple task of creating a new Virtual Machine to Windows 7 from a file on a host ESX 3.5 hard. I used to copy the following files in 2 data store VEEAM Backup and FastSCP 3.0.3.
But when I do a right click-> 'New Virtual Machine' host-> (go through all the normal options-> under disk I select "use an existing virtual disk-->)
-> Click on Browse-> go to the location of the files below (Data Store 2)-> the right directory (100% in some countries).
The window is empty, no hard to select.
The files work well in VMware workstation.
I'm clearly missing something big here.
Any tips?
see you soon
Keir
Hello
I'm not entirely sure of your specific version of ESX 3.5 and WS7 mixture. But the VMDK from the two products may be incompatible.
Please try to use the VMware Converter to convert a VM ESX out of your VM Workstation.
You can get Converter for free here: http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/

Unable to browse the server data store
Hello
I lost the files in my data store. I have two data warehouses and two of them had vm folders in there but tonight my vms unresponsive and when I try to restart they throw an error that a file is not present. When I tried to browse the data store, the two data stores back empty.
Thank you
Hey m,
can you go on the albums esx server into your virtualcenter
Try remapping to one of the existing NFS shares. You should get a message that the share already exists, but when you return to the summary page, you should be able to doubleclick on the NFS share and view folders (it's like trying to connect is enough to restore the existing connection)
Let me know how you go

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.

Hi all
This question was probably asked a million times. the best practice to remove a host server data store without emptying the contents of the data store?
I have two clusters and I moved host group A to group B. host A is now to see data from Cluster Both A store and Group B datastore. We want that host A to store data in Cluster B. The Cluster a data store is not and can not be empty coz VM A Cluster using data warehouses. So I just unpreset the data LUN to host A store and Reanalyze the data store? Or there is a better way to do it?
Thank you all
Yes that's what I meant - should have specified where virtual machines are running.

What burning CDs in Windows Media music system prepares all the files listed.
What burning CDs in Windows Media music system prepares all the files listed. When the system starts writing the files on the disc it gets through about 4 songs and then goes to finalize the disc and ejects the disc. The disk does not appear to have anything on it. Can I do anything locally to solve the problem?
My system is XP.
I burned the disc a lot in the past
There has been no major changes to the system
The files I am to burn to the disc are previously ripped files on the disk hard, some of them were burned on another drive before.
I tried to slow down the burn speed, but that did not work.
CD burning problem
Hello
- You receive an error message when burning CDs?
- What were the changes made before the issue started?
To resolve this problem, do one or more of the following and then try again:a. Verify that the CD burner is properly connected.
b. clean the disc and verify that it is not damaged.
c. try a different brand of blank discs.
d. If another program is currently burning files on the CD, wait until the burning process is completed.
e. Quit other programs that may be using the CD burner.
f. restart Windows Media Player.
g. restart your computer.
h. use the Windows error-checking tool to find system errors of files with bad sectors on your hard drive. For more information about the error-checking tool, see Windows Help and Support.

I have ESXi 4.1 and with vSphere Client to manage virtual machines.
Some of my users continue to use the 'remove from inventory"rather than the option" remove disc "in vSphere when they want to delete the virtual machine.
This leaves the computer virtual on the data store but not used. I have since removed this privilege among the offending users but I need to do a bit of cleaning.
I have a lot of files on the data store where users have done this in recent years. Probably about 150 records but only 80 VM listed in the inventory.
Is there a way I can output, a report showing the data of each machine store directory in inventory so that I can remove anything not on this list? ID rather not to manually check the parameters of all 80 VM in the inventory.
Out ideal would be something like:
MyVmNameHere 1, \MyVmDirectoryHere1\ [DataStore1]
MyVmNameHere2, \MyVmDirectoryHere2\ [DataStore1]
A great tool to discover all this and much more is RVTools

How to remove an extension of data store (while keeping the files)?
Hello world
I am looking for a way to move/delete an extension of my single data store. My data store consists of 2 extends from ~ 150 GB each. The data on this subject would be inserted in the Go ~ 150 remaining.
Is this possible? If yes how? ESXi automatically rearrange the data to avoid losing data while dropping an extension?
Thank you
Robert
It is not possible to remove a measure and keep the original data store. You must move your data, delete the data store and then re-create.

Upgrade of Windows 8 results in 0kb (empty) scan files, Officejet Pro 8500 A910
It's totally weird. I used my printer wide for analysis while on the original install on Windows 7. I always use the touchkeyboard of 8500 and "scan to network folder" and put in a file name. After 8 of Windows Installer, I get the name of file in my directory, but the pdf file shows 0kb and will not open. I installed the new driver. I ran the 'Scan' doctor and he says that everything is OK. Printing works fine. I'm on a wireless home network. Scanning to a device memory works OK and scan using the HP printer Assistant works OK.
Earlier, I tried scanning a doc 4 page to my folder of network again. I'm not usually in my monitor when scanning, but this time, I noticed that the 0 KB file, with my correct file name, appeared in the designated scan Directory before the end of the analysis.
I don't do this. I really don't know what to look for.
The only thing I can think of at this point would be an another full uninstall, but this time go in Program Files and program (x 86). Once you are in each file, remove the HP folder. Then, access devices and printer and make sure that the printer is not yet listed under Server properties. Then, run a registry cleaner to clear the odds of a room be left behind. Finally, restart the computer and try to reinstall the printer. Let me know what happens.

I use MCE to record radio in wtv format programs. Then, I want to convert them to the mp3 format for general use on other devices (including another computer running Windows XP). The first step in this conversion is at stage of wtv to dvr_ms. For the most part, it works, but sometimes I get an error message.
Error message indicates that the content is not compatible with the dvr - ms format. Any ideas what this means?Other ideas to get directly in .mp3 format without buying third-party paid software?I used MC-TVConverter (MediaCenter TV Converter) to convert video files Windows Media Center successfully in other formats. I have not tried audio only & I have no examples at hand to try, I'm afraid.

Download VMDK files from the browser to the Web-based data store
Hello
I want to download the virtual computer VMDK file using the browser of the Web-based data store. I know how to do, but there is something I don't understand.
I have configured my VM with a provisioning. From the VI client, I see that the size of the vm.vmdk is 4 GB. The size of proviosned is 20 GB.
Technically speaking, if I download the VMDK file, it should be 4 GB, however, from the browser on the vm - flat hard size Web-based data store is 20 GB... What is the standard behavior? Is there a way to download only the actually used 4 GB?
Hello.
This is the expected behavior, and as much as I know there is no work around if you use the browser to store data.
Good luck!

ESX host cannot see the data store
Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!
Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.
Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.
In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.
