• After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

  I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

  Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

  I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
  Select another disk.

  I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

  Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

  I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

  ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.

  Have a look here:

• 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.

• Move-VM error: VM must be managed by the same VI servers as the destination data store

  I work with 2 ESXi servers and a single vCenter server with vSphere 6.0 Update 1 b; and PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2

  I have an a datacenter, cluster, vCenter and a vDS.  I need to pass the vCenter data store to another and get the error message:

  "Move-VM VM you are moving should be handled by the same server of VI as the destination container and the data store.

  Code looks like the following:

  $vctObj = to connect-viserver $vctIPaddress

  $esx1Obj = to connect-viserver $esx1IPaddress

  $esx2Obj = to connect-viserver $esx2IPaddress

  $vmObj = get-vm-name $vmname - Server $vctObj

  $destDSobj = get-datastore-name $destDSname

  Move-vm - vm $vmObj Datastore - $destDSobj - 'End' DiskStorageFormat

  I can migrate successfully from the virtual machine to vCenter data store through the VI Client, but PowerCLI left me speechless.

• ESXi 4.1 reinstall without loss of data in the system data store

  Hello world

  because of incorrect tape device configuration (see more low http://communities.vmware.com/thread/289847?tstart=0), I have to reinstall Esxi 4.1 in the same place where the system partition is also home to the Oracle data disk (I didn't have the choice because the system starts on the table of great raid with SSDS, there was no such thing which allow me to pre partition the RAID disk into several partitions and choose) only a small partition to install ESXi files), what happens if I reinstall ESXi with the method of "REPAIR"? will be large files within the system data store destroyed or intact?  Help, please.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  When you do a normal installation of ESXi, the whole installation drive is wiped regardless of the existing partitions that exist.  With a repair only install ESXi system partitions are left.  Any data store must be perserved and after the repair, you can save any virtual machines that were welcomed on this data store.  If the repair not proceed with the installation (for example, if the data store exists in the first 900 MB of storage), then you will get a warning in this sense and a new facility (wipe the entire disk) is performed.

  So with a repair, you should be fine, but I want to take a backup without worrying.

• Cannot delete the local data store empty on ESXi 4

  Hi all

  Does anyone know how to kill the process that uses / block the process of removing the ESXi 4 data store?

  I have this provblem in VI Client when I was in the middle of the removal of the Local data store

  Remove datastore

  The resources ESXi02_VMFS vim.host.DatastoreSystem is in use.

  It's production live environment so is possible to kill the process without having to restart the ESXi 4 crowd?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  OK so first try to connect with viclient to ESXi directly and see if you can remove the data store.

  The command you need to nod your head do buisness hours.

  Good luck!

• ESXI 5.1 "the disc is not thin-provisioned" after copying to the new data store vmdk

  I wanted to create an external backup as a 2nd VM ready-to-run on the 2nd data store.

  I've removed all snapshots, stop the machine virtual and exported the OVF file to a computer, adjusted to the size of the original virtual machine starts in Gparted to update the partition and restart. All very well.

  I then tried to deploy the OVF in the data store alternative (235GB slim, thickness according to the deployment of 250 Wizard). I tried both thick and thin but the error message "cannot deploy the OVF. The operation was cancelled by the user.

  I then manually downloaded the VMDK & OVF file to the 2nd data store and tried to inflate but then received the message "a specified parameter was not correct. The disc isn't thin provisioned. ».

  It seems I have dealing with the same thing, as this is the document here (http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vsphere/55/vsphere-vcenter-server-55u3-release-notes.html).  However, I have no idea what to do now... and I'm worried because it seems that my backup plan may not work if I can't restore an OVF/VMDK from a disk of visas.

  The solution to the first problem here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2172950#2172950 that solved my problem 2nd too.

• ESXi 4: error in live migration (VMotion) to the different data store (Local SATA to iSCSI SAN)

  Here is the error message:

  any idea what could cause this please?

  Check that the machine ESX4 has prevention performance virtualization and data, indicators enabled in the BIOS. I could move 32 bit machines vmotion Unflagged VT turned on in the BIOS, but 64-bit machines could not begin until I activated the flag of VT in the BIOS.

  Also try to clear the mask of the source of the VM CPU before migrating, providing the hosts have the same hardware.

• ESXi 4.1 with 2.7 to RAID server only has a 750 GB data store

  I have a server ESXi 4.1 Build 260247. It has a controller Adaptec 5805Z with 2.7 TB RAID6 material. The ESXi is installed and running on a USB key. The server runs a lot and don't have any problem with the performance, but what I failed to note (after the creation and configuration of the 7 servers for an Exchange 2010 lab) is that the datatstore1 is only 740,75 GB. I looked everywhere in vSphere and online on how to access the rest of this storage. Under configuration > hardware > storage it shows the 'Adaptec disk Local (mpx.vmhba2:C0:T0:L0)", type = parallel SCSI disk to Transport, 2.73 Capasity TB.

  How can I access the additional storage on the disk? I certainly don't want to have to reinstall the LAB if I have to. Attempts to increase its size in the properties of the data store has failed. No error, that he just does nothing nothing found...

  

  

  Creating logical volumes on the RAID is a feature or function of the RAID controller, respectively the RAID controller software. Most RAID controllers authorize splitting of the RAID (unless it's a RAID level 0 x) in several logical volumes. You will need to check this for your RAID controller.

  You should probably migrate VMS off the coast of the current data of 750Go store and delete data store. Then, remove the current volume of 2.75 to logical and create a new logical volumes - maximum 2 TB - 512 bytes by using the controller BIOS or software RAID.

• Copy the ISO data store ESXi on VM

  Hello

  I'm quite new to virtualization and unable to understand the ways to copy the ISO file that is located on the data to a virtual computer store. Basically, I already installed ESXi and couple of Windows 2008 VM. Consider using one of this virtual machine as a server vCenter. Now, I have already downloaded from the VMware website and downloaded vCenter ISO to one of the data store.

  However, unable to work how can I copy the ISO to this virtual machine file so that I can install vCenter server? I have read a few things on the internet and tried to use WinSCP within the virtual machine using the IP host address, but I get "no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.» the connection has failed. It is similarly after I activated the client FTP on ESXi host in the firewall. I am able to SSH (putty) to ESXi host with no problems.

  How can I get this to work? Y at - it a simple method that might work? Is WinSCP way to go? If so, why it wouldn't work? Note it is lab home environment and there is no other firewalls between the two.

  Thank you

  Beyond the update of the firmware, I would check that you have the battery (BBWC) module installed on your controller and cache in write on. The BBWC module is an option and made a significant difference in performance.

• How to ensure that "" is not creating a studio ODI data store. ?
