ESXi 4U1 - partition root out of space, no free inodes

Hello guys,.

After update of our vCenter 4.0 Update 2, one of our servers has shown as disconnected in vCenter. All of our guests had their agents vCenter updated and reconfigured HA, but this one fails.

After checking the related KBs of VMware, I noticed that the host a-126 M left in the / partition and executing stat f / it shows that I gave a negative amount of inodes.

All the other guests have the exact same hardware and config (we use the host profiles).

I tried to check in/tmp/vmware-root/var/cores and those that are empty. I also tried to restart the services with services.sh restart. I tried to uninstall the agent, vpxa with the .sh provided without result.

The last thing for me to try is to reboot the host, but this is currently not an option (cannot evacuate VMS running on another host) and I would consider it as a last resort.

Any ideas why / filled or watch a negative value as available? How can I clean the partition?

Thanks in advance.

Sylogs are normally stored on the partition from scratch. Not on the root partition.

If you find this information useful, please give points to "correct" or "useful".

  • ESXi 4.0 - datastore1 out of space

    Hello

    The problem is that my data store loses the free space when I copy the files on my virtual machine.

    I have ESXi installed on Dell with HD 250 GB 4.

    There are three VM 100 GB, 100 GB, and 20 GB so there are 30 GB of space in my data store (just in case).

    When I am trying to copy the file which is 38 GB in size to one of these 100 GB VM - shrinks my free size data store until there is no space left, then freeze on my VM.

    Also remove the VM files is not free up space on the data store. I managed to free up space by deleting a snapshot.

    This gave me 350MB so my machines are operational.

    The virtual machine is never to run out of space + I tried to copy the 38 GB on the partition/file which is 75 GB in size:

    Well, you have a few options in this situation...

    1. Restore your shots (lose all changes since the photos were taken), and then delete the first snapshot. This will remove all snapshots

    2. Take a picture of your server using imaging such as Ghost or Storagecraft ShadowProtect tool any. After you have an image stored on the network somewhere (!), remove the current virtual machine (easiest way to explain), create a new virtual machine and restore the image of the server (if you have VMware vCenter you could integrate vConverter to restore the image).

    3. Alternatively, you can use VMware Converter...

    Sorry, it took some time, but I did a quick test on my test environment.

    I've attached a file updated the vmsd which represents now two snapshots on the virtual machine.

    You must download the file to the data store. If the two snapshots (consolidate Helper - 0-2) do not appear in the Snapshot Manager right away, you may need to remove the virtual machine from the inventory (right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and select "Remove from inventory") and add it back back (right click on the file vmx in the data store, and then select "Add to the inventory").

    Once you see the two snapshots, first a ' Consolidate Helper-0 ' select and click 'delete '. This will consolidate the snapshot 58GB (... 000002.VMDK) in the basic disk. It will take time. Before committing the second snapshot, you should start the virtual machine to see if the snapshot is still ok after the virtual machine has been closed due to disk space is low. Once the VM starts and everything looks ok, you can remove the ' Consolidate Helper-2 ' second snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

    For the above, I guess that your basic virtual disk is supplied thickness. If this isn't the case, please report. Do not try to commit the snapshot in this case!

    Before you start committing snapshots, make sure you that Veeam don't hit in the consolidation of the snapshot.

  • out of space on a data store, have great cliché to commit

    Through a series of automated tasks and bad luck, here's where I'm stuck.  looking for advice on the best way to fix it.

    ESXi server with the local data store

    A server (Blackberry server, not quite important and have a good backup, worst case I could rebuild without too much pain)

    • Slim 30 GB put in service

    Server B (Production and Production Exchange server file server):

    • 2 virtual drives

      • Drive hard 1: 80 GB thin provisioned

      • Hard drive: 500 GB 2 thick put into service

        • There is somehow a snapshot on this disk which is 196GB (which has a few things needed for this topic)

        • VSphere client does not show that there is a snapshot, but the navigation data store, it's there

    I am running very low on space (30GB free) on the data store.  I have a 1 TB NAS device (it is the NFS case) but it's mostly full with other backups of VMs whose only good backup from Server B that I would prefer not wipe.

    This snapshot will commit with what little free space?  If so, how given that vsphere client shows that there is no snapshot?

    Looking for pros for a good solution/order issues in.  I am of course headed out of town for a week and I hope the 30 GB I have free will last while I went, but will keep you informed along the way.

    In my opinion, there should not be any need a lot of additional disk space for deleting a snapshot on a thick disc put into service. To remove the snapshot, create another cliché on the virtual machine, and then open the Snapshot Manager and select "clear all". This will engage all snapshots on the basic disk, no matter whether they are displayed in the Snapshot Manager. Due to the size of the deletion my take several hours (depending on your speed of storage)

    With one snapshot, you have, it's no problem, but if there were several snapshots, you need to be careful, depending on the version/version of ESX (i) installed. Make sure you don't miss disk space during the validation process of the snapshot, because for example many changes to a thin provisioned VM. To be on save her side, you should do the deletion either while the virtual machine is not used much or - even better - while the virtual machine is turned off.

    iCloud is a synchronization service, NOT off of storage of the unit.

    You could cut the phone out of sync from your library. Just move them to your Mac and synchronize your Mac with iCloud. Now, you'll have plenty of space on your phone, but no pictures.

    From your Mac, you can then make an album with photos that you want to access from your phone. This will require ongoing work, but will keep your clear phone in most of the time.

    How can I remove my photos from my iPhone while keeping in iCloud? because I'm running out of space on my iPhone.

    I want to keep all my photos in iCloud. I want to remove some of them from my iPhone 4 (IOS 8) in order to free up space on my iPhone. How can I do this? Thanks for help.

    With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

    Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  • Time Machine don't prune the old El Capitan backups and works out of space and "backup fails.

    With the help of El Capitan 10.11.1, I noticed a change in behavior with the handling of the time Machine of large files, specifically the files of virtual disk VMWare Fusion (about 50 large concerts).  After a few weeks of use of fusion VM virtual machine, Time Machine gives an error where it ran out of space and "backup failed."

    I had the same problem occur on a second iMac that I own.

    I reformatted my external drive for Time Machine and started fresh, but after a few weeks, I got the same error again.  It seems that Time Machine is not the size or remove older backups of VMware virtual disk to provide a space for the new.

    Previous versions of Mac OS X and Time Machine had no problem with the backup of large files such as these.

    Has anyone else noticed "backup failed" message with Time Machine on El Capitan?  I know that I can exclude the disk virtual VMware backup, but that defeats the entire purpose of Time Machine backups.  Any suggestions?

    Time Machine automatically deletes older snapshots to make room for the new. If your backup history is shorter than expected, it may be because you want to save one or more large files frequently.

    Software virtualization VMware, Parallels or VirtualBox creates a large virtual disk container that is constantly evolving. It will not be saved at all while the virtual machine running, and at other times it must be saved each Time Machine performance. Who fills up quickly any backup destination.

    You must exclude files from virtual drive of your Time Machine backups. To do this, click the Options button in the Time Machine preferences window. You can also do this to virtualization, application settings. Back up the files on the virtual disk within the comments system, using a native backup application.

    A compromise solution is to create a 'snapshot' of the virtual machine in the virtualization software (not a Time Machine snapshot.) This will give you a single large file that never changes and only has to be saved once. All future changes will be stored in a file that is much smaller initially, but will grow over time. You must always exclude this backup TM file. If you need to restore the computer virtual of Time Machine, you will have a working configuration, which will be easy for you to restore the rest of the data in the system of comments.
