  The partitions are present, but vmware won't do an analysis.

  Is there a way to understand what happened?

  I see the barebone specification and seem that your controller is a 'soft' RAID

  Take a look at the configuration of the SATA controller.

  When your drive will be recognized as/dev/sdXX, then you can create your data store.

• New ESX host cannot see SAN fiber - Clariion

  Hello

  I spent about two hours, passing through communities and have tried various things without success... basically, I have a new ESX host that I've built, configured, and networked, but I can't see our existing SAN.

  The SAN is a Clariion CX3 - 10 c and it hosts all of our existing VMs (we currently have two hosts attached to the SAN)

  I have installed the CLI and Navisphere agent on the new host

  I have started to host and that you have ENABLED the two adapters Emulex HBA (host contains two HBAs installed) because they showed as disabled by default BIOS

  I have one of the HBAs connected to the fibre switch

  On the fibre switch, I have a flickering green light where I plugged the fiber cable, which makes me think, it is connected OK

  On the HBA, I have a green light and an orange light blink, which still makes me think the wiring is correct

  BUT I do not see the front Navisphere host, and the host cannot see all storage even after re-reading.

  Any ideas what to try next? I suspect that it is perhaps something to do with zoning - I must say the Emulex HBA how to find storage processors? If so, how can I go about it? From the BIOS by restarting the host and pressing ALT - E?

  Any help or advice appreciated...

• the user cannot see the data of an entity in a report

  Hello

  We have created an entity calle d 'aa' recently and we attributed it to a safety class. When the user running the report is showing the data for the entity, but for user 2 they receive "invalid object" error messages when they run the report, they have the same level of access. Why?

  Thank you

  We use the process command. The entity is a new entity and I haven't started the process for this entity. That's why he can not able to see it. I've started the process of this entity control, now, the user can able to see the data.

• Cannot remove the data store

  Hello

  I am trying to remove a shared in Vsphere 5.0 SAN data store, and it fails to say that the datstore is in use. When I try to take it apart there is a red cross next to the statement that no virtual machines must be present. The data store is empty and afaics no point of virtual machines don't have any disk pointing it at all. He got a present HA heartbeat folder but I've reconfigured HA no to use the DS and could then remove the folder HA and empty so the DA, but still in use reports

  Gerry,

  Is it possible that your virtual machine contains a cd connected to the data store? I came across that once where a virtual machine was showing that the use of two data warehouses, but there files were only in one. I found that I had connected the reader of cd/dvd via the client to a file that was in this other data store. Just a thought.

• Cannot remove the data store in esxi 3.5 - can help you

  OK - I have a problem. I messed up and now I'm stuck.

  I was "apparently" in the middle of a converter working, and I deleted the comments of esxi3.5, while the converter still worked.

  I selected the rafale and made a removal of the disc that worked, however the structure of associated file (windows 2000 Server) for this guest has not been deleted, so I chose my data store (datastore1) and - do you have a store of navigation data and when I try to delete the folder associated with the guest, I deleted I get the following error :

  "General failure caused by file" (with a "/" on the next line) and all I can do at this point is to click OK box to acknowledge the error and I can't delete the folder. I can't rename it either.

  I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to create a new client with the same name as the folder and delete the comments again, but that does not work either.

  I'm really stuck - I'm afraid to go into maintenance mode because I have no idea what I'm going to be confronted here since I never used the maintenance mode.

  any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

  You can try to do a refresh of the data store. The folder structure is not re read very often. In the data store Navigator, click the folder root on the left side and click on the Refresh button.

• Can NOT see the data store after ESXi update host?

  Hi all

  We use the host ESXi 3.5 on DELL PE 2850 with RAID 5 local storage.  Today, I ran utility update for the host VMware and firmware updated BIOS and RAID on the host computer before a restart of the system.  After the reboot, the system correctly loads the operating system and when I check for storage, the data (with critical VM) store is missing.  Can not see that again.

  Please help me to recover my data with the virtual machines in her store.

  Thank you

  Nadine

  ESXi is installed on the same Partition RAID 5, which is located in the VMFS data store? for example. do you know that the partition is still intact?

  According to what the RAID firmware upgrade has done, it is possible that you may need to set the LVM. EnableResignature option 1 if the score ended with a new UUID.

• ESXi 5.5 will not see the data store when it is installed on the HP SD flash card

  Today, I installed an HP 4 Gb flashdisk on a new server HP ML350p gen8 Bion P72 (most recent). This server contains 4 300 GB SAS drives in a RAID5 configuration with 1 logical drive. This drive works fine. When you install a Windows Server live on this subject, the logical drive that appear.

  Installing ESXi 5.5 I choose 2 location to install to, a SD flash disk and the logical disk of SAS. I installed it on the SD flash drive. But after that I started the vSphere client and any data store is seen here. The RAID5 logical drive is not there.

  During installation 5.5i directly on the logical volume Raid5 ESXi, vSphere sees the logical volume and can use it.

  How do I install ESXi 5.5 on the SD HP flash disk and use the logical disk as data store? Why I can only see the drive now?

  THX!

  1. it works both on customized HP iso and ISO VMware 5.5i

  2 when installing ESXi 5.5 on the RAID 5, the rest of the volume, she prepares as VMFS, because it is disk0'.

  If you do not use the raidvolume for the installation of VMware, you must configure it in the vSphere client. There, you have to format the raidvolume.

  It does not work.

• ESX host cannot ping the default gateway.

  Hi Experts,

  I have connected ESX hosts to switch cisco as well by the ILO and other ports.

  Cisco switch configuration;

  int gig 1/0/21 and 1/0/13 gig and gig 1/0/14 are configured as access ports because they are carriers/tagging vLan as a 306.

  Cisco switch, I can ping the ip address of the ILO, but I can't ping the IP address management and vice versa.

  IP Managment

  VLAN 306

  Attached the screenshot shown in the diagram.

  your help will be appreciated.

  Concerning

  Don't know what it is, but there must be something simple that you miss

  Let's go through each step of configuration for both ESXi network connections (ILO work already, so we do not touch).

  Check the configuration of switch port physical interface GigabitEthernet1/0/13 and 1/0/14.

  switchport access vlan 306

  switchport mode access

  spanning tree portfast

  Only connect the cable network for vmnic0 to host and make sure what vmnic0 presents itself as 'connected' in the DCUI

  

  Make sure the VLAN ID is empty.

  

  Make sure you then the IP settings are correct (IE without typos,...) and restart the management network from the main menu.

• Cannot create the data store: the current licence or ESXi version prohibited the execution of the requested operation.

  using vicfg-nas I am unable to create/remove a datastore nfs on my lab running esxi 6 at home. Is this not supported? Listing them works well. I can create/delete data warehouses nfs using the client to vcenter very well, but it's a little embarrassing.

  I guess that the host is allowed with the free edition of hypervisor! One of the few restrictions of the free version of hypervisor is access to the API. In order to have "write access" (i.e. change things rather than the list of them) you must run the host in evaluation mode, or license (Essentials or better).

• Cannot expand the data store after you have developed the LUN size

  Greetings:

  I have an interesting problem that happens with my server ESXi.  I've expaneded a 1 logical unit number. 5 t 3 t, re-read the SAN of the host itself (not) yet ESXi always reports the LUN size as 1. 5 t and not extensible.

  SAN is an EMC VNX and Unisphere, in fact, reports the size of the LUN 3 t.  The VMFS on this logical unit number is at version 5.54.

  I did updates and renumerisations a single host and nothing does change regarding the size of the LUN as reported in VMware.  I can't imagine what is a tissue issue given that the underlying data is always available and functional.

  Does anyone have any suggestions to try this?

  Ron

  You have a RecoverPoint of installation for this logic unit number? I fell right on the same problem as you described and found this article. It worked for me.

  In the "inline" without the parentDocument reference ItemRendered, I get an 1120: access of undefined property error model. If I use outerDocument I get 1178: any attempt to access the property model inaccessible through a reference with static type error. I don't know what I should use here...

  The next column has no difficulty to display the property of model.ui_nameColumn_str - I understand the issue around scope and view the correct instance, I don't know how to get the model of the inline ItemRenderer. (We use simplemvc)

  Thank you

  Model must be a public variable, then outerDocument should work.
