• ESX3.5 - does not recognize data warehouses

  Hello

  I encountered a problem with one of the two ESX servers that we have. One of them broke down and I had to reinstall ESX 3.5, but now I see is no longer my storage devices. I have three warehouses of data listed in the second server. I use a MD3000i and PowerEdge 2970. I perform a new analysis of storage but nothing.

  I Googled it and always short came. This happened to anyone. I have upgraded the BIOS and all drivers of the server that has been the failure.

  All suggestions will be useful.

  
  Thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  you reconfigure the host to the storage system object, i.e. to assign the new iSCSI IQN (assuming you are using a device iSCSI SW)?

• Confusion about Virtual Cluster ESX and VM do not see network.

  I have a box of 5 ESX.

  In the box, I created a Cluster of 2 virtual ESX 5 hosts.

  I added an XP VM.

  I can ping via both of the virtual interface ESX host network Test 5.

  I ping the virtual ESX 5 hosts on the network

  I can't do the ping on the LAN XP and I cannot ping the XP VM from the local network.

  I know I'm not a good thing.

  Pleas help.

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to the community

  See this link - nested VMs

  You must enable "Promiscuous" mode on the vSwitch (or at least the portgroup) the virtual ESX connected to

  That should sort out you

• Windows7 home group sharing printers displays error 0 x 00000001, PC to join the Group House can not see shared printers but can see and share all files between the computers in the home group

  This issue just started about 4 days after years of good impression on the computers in the homegroup.  Nothing I know came to start this problem.

  Printers cannot be seen by the remote PC that needs to connect to printers via homegroup.  Printers, 2, a laser and the other color ink jet, showed both on the remote PC called but also showed "offline", I tried to find ways to put on line, but nothing could fill this function. I read a suggestion that I should remove the printer and then recharge it.  I removed the printer and is where I found that I couldn't see the printer on the network of homegroup to reload.

  I rebooted the bridge and the two PCs and turned off the firewall and virus protection software and closed the Group residential and the recreated homegroup and pretty much any other start-up base and installation process you can think, and nothing gets my functional printers through the remote PC.  I even physically removed one of the printers of the main PC and deleted the software and then reconnected and recharged and have made sure I have the latest drivers and it made no difference at all.

• Subview does not show data types, but UNKNOWN

  
  Hello

  I use version DM 4.0.1.836

  In a model, I have two domain files, one of the common areas that is in the directory 'default system types' and a specific domain model file that is located in the model tree. Two directories are control SVN unther.

  If I use in a table to a column from the specific domain of the model, the data type is displayed in the subview. For columns based on a field in the 'default system types directory' the UNKNOWN data type is displayed.

  It would be useful if the for both types of data type fields would appear in the subview.

  Best regards

• ESX4 host sees 3.5 data stores, but sees no clients in the data store

  This is my first post and I'm having a little trouble finding my way in discussion forums to find answers, please bear with me.

  The problem is I had

  a system of ESX 3.5 - U2 with a data store external vmfs with VMs 5 or more. I have

  installed ESX4 on 2 new servers and offers external storage (FC SAN) of the

  ESX4 host, detached from the host of 3.5. Guests can see the vmfs LUNS, and I can't

  Browse data warehouses and see virtual machines. 4.0 hosts see data warehouses, but

  No 4.0 host sees one of the virtual machines. Any ideas?

  I guess that you can browse and see the vm on the data store files. Therefore, you must select the .vmx file, right click and "add to the inventory.

• 5.5.1 Director - can not see political storage (or their warehouses of data/clusters) created in vCenter 5.5

  This is a new installation of vcenter 5.5 & 5.5.1 when I linked first the vcenter in Director I see policies of storage, that I had created as well as their data warehouses, but if I can change storage on the vcenter policies I don't see none of them more when trying to add them to the TDC and the option * (any) is no longer present all data stores that were part of them either even if I delete their tags of vcenter and storage policies.  As an experiment I tried to disassemble everything Manager and add the vcenter, I could see once more storage policies, but all other changes make it disappear again.  I tried to update vcenter in accordance with another similar post storage policies, but it does not help.

  Is it perhaps a residual link with the old methods of storage profiles that must be maintained?  I tried to create those via the client of windows as well but could not see them in Director either.  Is it a problem that I don't see storage profiles in the policy storage or web client in the windows client?

  Am I missing something?  At this point, I'm tempted to blow the 5.5.1 Director and install a 5,5 instead device to see if it has an impact.

  Another question: I would be able to see the strategies of empty storage to the Director?  (as in those that are configured and the tag but are not yet associated with data warehouses?)  That would go a long way where I should be shot if I should be able to.

  The process is fairly simple, but requires a brief interruption and access to the DB to clear some tables.  It is very similar to a browser's cache... clear it, and next time, it's a full download of the remote system.

  I'm working on a document for that matter

• VMWare Fusion Pro can see the ESXi data store but not VM on it.

  Hi all

  I have a MacPro 5.1 I am under ESXi on via a USB key. The MacPro has 4 SATA drives configured as stores of data with VM on some of them.

  When connecting to the ESX host through the 'connect to server' Fusion Pro I can see data banks but not the virtual machine.

  The virtual machine can be seen on the ESX host, when connecting via SFTP.

  Any ideas?

  & I thought about it... I need to register for the virtual machine

• Can't see the iSCSI data warehouses after reboot

  I have 2 ESX 3.5.0 u3 hosts running on Dell PowerEdge 2950 servers and connect to a Dell PowerVault MD3000i. Recently, I upgraded the MD3000i gen.2 firmware, and after the upgrade, one of the MD3000i controllers began to experience extremely slow (3-4 MB/s) write to its LUNS assigned speed. Dell support reviewed my setup and said I have a configuration problem - all 4 of the MD3000i ports are on the same subnet, while according to them, they should be divided into two subnets. I have interruption scheduled for this Saturday, close all virtual machines, added an additional VMkernel port and a service console for the new subnet on each host, removed addresses for two of the ports of discovery dynamic and restarted the two hosts. When they restarted, I changed the IP address on a single port on each controller. The servers came, restored 4-port iSCSI sessions and can see two LUNS defined on the MD3000i, but cannot see data warehouses - it's like they went, and LUN are naked. Creating new data warehouse will wipe away their own, and while I have current backups, I would rather jump restore all this from scratch. Is there anything that can be done here?

  -Very well, could be a problem of will:

• Cannot see reverse data warehouses in the model

  Hi all
  
  I am trying to reverse both PeopleSoft custom defined in an Oracle database tables and bring them to ODI.
  However, even if the reversal of the process itself (standard and custom) doesn't give any errors, I can't see the data stores in the model.
  
  I connect to the Oracle database using a user id that is not sysadm. This user had only read access to the two tables and sys.dba_objects (initially, while doing a reversal on measure, it was an error which I understand that sys.dba_objects need to access) above.
  I am able to query and read data from tables using sql developer using this new user.
  
  I believe also that the topology has been set up properly and I could do a ping of the database by using the user successfully when you set the physical schema.
  
  Advice as to why I can't see data warehouses in the model even after the overwhelming success?
  Help any will be appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Vivek

  Yes,

  The latter request must show any xxxx of the user table, and he did not.

  Take a look if the objects you need to reverse are not synonymous. If that's true, if they are public or private and the true owner of the table referenced by the synonym...

• LM 4 multiple data warehouses

  Hey all,.

  I am very new when it comes to Lab Manager. It is what is in my CA.

  I have a bunch of 5 4 ESX hosts that have 2 iSCSI data warehouses attached to them all. I just added another today because the first is 90% full. It's only a store 1 TB, so I'm working on obtaining more space. So for now, I placed a second iSCSI store that has about 600 GB of free space for all ESX 5 hosts.

  Lab Manager is currently in the 4.0.1

  In LM under - & gt; Resources - & gt; Warehouses of data - & gt; I see the two stores. I added a new has a green check mark under the "Creation of VM enabled" so I should be able to start using it. When I try and add a virtual machine to one of my setups under his gray "Datastore" outside and I can not change the data store for the new data store. Don't know what I have have done badly but I need to have more space for the Dev to play with.

  If anyone can help that would be swell!

  Thankx

  Jimmy Dean

  To move a model: you could make a full clone of the model to the another data store, and then delete the original model. You can do the same for configurations as well. However, knowledge that full cloning VMs causes their disk station to collapse into a single basic disk, and you should expect the copied on VMs to take more space than the original.

  Alternatively, you can use the utility SSMove provided with Lab Manager to move trees the directory to the new data store.

• Wiping of data warehouses

  We lack VCenter 4.1 with an iSCSI SAN (managed by IBM System Storage DS Storage Manager 10).  We have a few LUNS defined on the SAN and the LUNs (mapped?) data warehouses, but not all of the space on the SAN is still attributed to any logical unit number.

  A former employee, set up our current LUNs, so we learn the entire process of creating for ourselves.  We wanted to do a test before you make drastic changes, but our test... showed us that we didn't understand completely what we were doing again.

  Here's what we did and how it went wrong.

  • We have created a new, test of 250 GB LUN on the SAN (part of the unallocated space).
  • In VSphere Client, we went through the 'Add datastore' Assistant and went through all the stages of this new logic unit number.  Everything went great and we had a new store of VMFS data available to us.
  • As a test, we migrated a small virtual PC to the new VMFS.  It worked.
  • Then we migrated it to a pre-existing data stores. It worked also.
  • Then, in VSphere Client, we have removed our new test data store.
  • Then in the IBM System Storage Manager, we have removed our new test LUN.
  • Then, just to make sure that the space had been rehabilitated, we created a test new new LUN, also in 250 GB.  This has been attributed the same LUN number as the previous test of 250 GB LUN.
  • We returned in VSphere Client, and tried to 'add a data store' by using this new-new test LUN.  Everything works until we get to the current "Available to drive" part of the wizard.  It shows 250 GB as the 'ability' of the LUN, but '-' as 'available'... and the "next" button is grayed out.

  

  Then... How can we do better?  Is it possible to delete a data store (or a logic unit number) so that the space of the deleted/LUN data store becomes 'Available' for the future creation of LUN/datastore?  We really had to be able to create a few large LUN in our space on the SAN, then remove the old, smaller LUNS created by the former employee and make MON new, bigger out of free space by removing the 'old' (since extending LUN does not work... the ex-employee tried this several times and we have hundreds of concerts tied up in space extended but unavailable LUN).

  How can we achieve this?

  Thanks in advance for the attention and/or advice.

  So, if I understand your situation, you had a unit number logic to 250 GB with VMFS, then you removed from the store database and then removed the SAN LUN.

  Then, you create a new LUN on your storage, to the same size and LUN number array, but when you want to create a data store VMFS on it you can't and the size seems to be incorrect in the vSphere Client.

  I wonder if it might be that the ESXi host is confused by the fact that it's the same LUN number. You could switch to the display of the storage card in the Configuration tab and do a rescan 'all '. Make sure you see the new empty LUN when you select the vmhbaXX, and then try to recreate the data store.

• converter shows wrong size for data warehouses

  The size of data warehouses is not updated in the converter. I made some space on data warehouses but converter displays always old size. all ESX hosts show the right size, so that the converter look at... How do update you?

  Nevermind, I reread the hosts and it shows correct now.
