ESXi 5, move to other hardware, data on NAS Server store


Hi, I have an esxi host and virtual machines (including vcenter) are on a NAS which is a qnap. To change the esxi server, there is nothing to do with the qnap, he stayed there. I think the move will be simple, but I want just other opinions if I think I have to do is correct. Here it is;

On the new server.

-install esxi

-Configure the networking and other things std

-Configure virtual networks, even as I did in the old server esxi

Stop old esxi (this will stop all my virtual machines)

New boot esxi Server

connect the data store on the qnap

start the virtual machines

set options for start/stop

Am I missing something?

Thank you

Hello

You are on the right track.

A. install the new esxi

B mount the NAS box

C. configure the network

D ensure that you are able to access the data store that has VM

E. If everything looks good, stop the virtual machine, remove ESXi inventory (old)

F. browse the data store for a machine virtual and do a right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory on the new esxi host. Power of the virtual machine.  Follow this for all other virtual machines

G. once all virtual machines are migrated, shut down the old ESX host and remove the network.

Cheers :-)

  • best way to put up a second NETWORK adapter for the data on NAS Server store

    I want to add a second NETWORK card if I can get the best possible performance for when I move the data store of the ESXi host to the NAS (which will also have a dual NIC). What is the best way to set up the NETWORK card on the ESXi host to achieve?

    PS - I am aware that I am limited to the real network speed of 1 Gbps and conditions and I agree with that (any of the virtual machines are eager resources or production).

    SOLVED... I think so. JPM300 got on the right track, but I was still not clear on it so I googled all this involving and finally landed on an iSCSI with MPIO configuration. I ended up as a result of this article (I use a Synology DS415 +, but the steps are pretty universal): How to use iSCSI targets on VMware ESXi with Multipath i/o - SynologyWiki. The article is old but always worked perfectly for me. I checked the two paths/NIC are used simultaneously, but I did not actual test to see if I have 200 MB/s of bandwidth (I've seen 80 MB/s when the cloning of virtual machines to the new iSCSI data store using vmfstools).

    I ran into a problem where the second path is not added during the alternating market; I removed the path shown and then was able to add the second path, then the first path again.

    Hope this helps someone.

  • move a VMDK (!) data to another folder store

    Hello

    I have a question:

    Recently, we have improved a number of virtual servers in Windows 2003 to 2012. In fact, in each case we installed a new virtual machine, detached the data of the old 2003 VM disks and tie then the new virtual machine to 2012. Of course, this way the VMDK file remains in the folder of the old virtual machine. When I then deletes the old VM, a new has his record with his normal config files and the VMDK where the OS is installed and THAT VMDK data remains in the folder of the old virtual machine which is empty otherwise.

    To a suitable opportunity (restart Windows updates) I would like to stop the new virtual machine and physically move data VMDK private new virtual machine folder, and then restart.

    Unfortunately, when I do it with the browser of the vSphere client data store, it acuatlly copy the VMDK to the new folder and then removes it from the old folder.

    Since this is a large amount of data (several hundred GB), I would avoid it, of course.

    I have not found a really _moving_ "GUI" method a VMDK from one folder to another folder in the data store even without copying.

    I can't SSH in an ESXi host that has access to the data store, and then use 'mv' at the shell level. This seemed to work very well with a few small trials VM (s).

    But is it safe to do this way? Is there another way (official)?

    Thanks for sharing your insight or opinions!

    Hello

    The vmkfstools command is a command to run at the server command line, no windows.

    as:

    It always seems that I have no other choice. Unfortunately, your warning - in this form of wave, no documentation citing or even a technote - is useless, too. Could you please develop, WHY do you not?

    My warning is inaccurate because a quick google does not give me a precise point in the documentation.

    Here's an oldie on that thread: Re: renaming of files VMDK

    I do however am 100% sure that the mv command is not supposed to be used to move the virtual disks.

    There are several reasons:

    The vmkfstools command was specially written to create/copy/clone/rename virtual disks. This command takes the hosts management resources into account. Also will write that the blocks are written more optimally. It is also the command which is fully aware of the mechanisms such as thin and sparse disks.

    It is also the only command that VMware will support if you end up getting in trouble.

  • ESXi 5.1 and VMFS-3 data warehouses

    We have an existing environment to ESX 3.5 Update 5 7 host and an EMC CX3-10 x iSCSI SAN. We go to decomission 2 ESX hosts and replace them with hardware ESXi 5.1 and recent guests. We realize that we no longer able to manage these hosts ESXi from our Virtual Center 2.5 console, but these two hosts will run a minimum number of virtual machines (Exchange 2010 multirole) that don't use VMotion, DRS and HA.

    Our understanding is that ESX5.1 can see and use VMFS-3 data warehouses. Is it true that, once we plugged the new 5.1 ESXi hosts to our SAN and you can see all the existing LUN that we should be able to stop the virtual machines on two ESX 3.5 hosts and start the virtual machines on the host ESX 5.1 computers?

    Everyone has problems running ESXi 5.1 with VMFS-3 data warehouses?

    Some data warehouses VMFS-3 existing could be improved to VMFS-5 because they are only used by the virtual machines that work on 5.1 ESXi hosts. But some of the data warehouses VMFS-3 existing is not extensible because they are used by the virtual machines running on ESX 3.5 other hosts. In other words, a single virtual machine can have virtual drives running on the VMFS-3 and VMFS-5 warehouses of data at the same time?

    Thank you

    Jay

    VMFS version isn't a problem. What I am more concerned by the fact that your storage system is not supported by ESXi 5.1.

  • ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    ESX3.5U4/VC2.5 - move vmdk to adequate data store and extend the drive on the virtual machine

    Objective: move vmdk to store data with adequate storage and then increase storage D: 20G to 100G

    Converter is not available on this architecture. Can I migrate cold vm to the different data store, no prob.

    Question: Without use of the converter, method 3 can be used without a secondary vm? In other words, just by using target vm offline, online, offline? Or is it a problem of signing/OS disk on the Windows Virtual PC?

    I need to move vmdk in different LUN and extend drive vm windows on D: (non-OS drive). Is this possible via the single procedure? Options?

    To use method 3 to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/81121 requires available vm 'secondary', I did not.

    Method 3? Using of vmkfstools and another VM of Windows to extend a drive

    o stop the VM to resize

    o log in the console ESX Server via Putty

    o Type? vmkfstools? X & lt; new size of drive & gt; vmfs/volumes / & lt; storage volume name & gt;. / & lt; virtual server name & gt;. / & lt; the virtual disk name & gt;? That is to say. /vmfs/volumes/Storage1/my_vm.VMDK new disk size can be specified in kilo, mega, or gigabytes and will be the total size of the new disk. So if you want to increase a virtual disk of 20 GB of 24GO you would put 24000 m or 24g

    o the second virtual machine to help stop

    o change the second virtual machine settings and add the first virtual machine hard drive

    o power on the second VM and load the disk management snap-in and verify that the first virtual machine disk has unallocated on it space

    o select Start, run and enter diskpart.exe

    o the command? the list of volume? This will show you all the volumes.

    o select your volume based on the results of the list volume command, IE. ? Select volume 1?

    o type the command? extend? to extend the volume

    o check again the disk management snap-in and the volume is expected to be expanded with a greater ability

    o stop the second VM and remove (do not remove) the record of it

    o turn your first VM and the new space should be there and ready to use.

    Also, I'm already aware of Dell extpar:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us & CS = 19 & l = in & s = DHS & ReleaseID = R64398 & formatcnt = 2 & starts = 83929

    for VI3, vmoiton of storage is made by RCLI plugin or a 3rd party

    I prefer the plugin

    http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/articles-tutorials/VMware-ESX-articles/VMotion-DRS-high-availability/storage-VMotion-SVMotion-VI-plugin.html

    In addition, if the option to increase the size of the disk in the VIC is grayed out, it sounds like a permissions issue.  Finally, you can not extend the disc using the VIC, if the customer in question has a snapshot.

  • Move Adobe Connect 7.5 to new server hardware

    What is the process to move Adobe Connect to a new server hardware. We are running Adobe Connect Pro 7.5 (7.5.1.0.100) on a Win2K3 SP2 server. We would like to fly over Connect to a new server hardware running Win2K8 R2 (64-bit). The Connect database will remain on a separate Win2K3 SP2 / Server sp4 of SQL 2005.

    Unless there's a problem, the NETBIOS name of the computer will be different. However, the IP address and domain name FULL will remain the same.

    What is the recommended procedure to achieve this?

    PS - Shortly after moving to new hardware, we are planning to upgrade to Connect 8. Is it better to upgrade first, then move to new hardware? Or vice versa?

    Hello

    moving to new hardware is basically a new installation on the new server, and then passing on the saved content, and then reconnect to the database.

    It makes no difference if you update first and then move material or play first and then upgrade. I play first and make sure Connect works very well on new hardware, and then upgrade.

    Here are some steps which should work.

    1. make sure that your new hardware, OS and SQL Server are supported

    http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/installconfigure/connect_8_install.PDF

    (7.5 check the requirements here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/systemreqs/#proserver )

    2. make a backup of your current content directory and all custom configuration files.

    (config files will be a reference to restore SSL or other changes, not just move them at once updated).

    3. make a backup of your database and make sure you know the login and the password for your SQL Server.

    4 stop the services on the old server

    5. If moving DB, attach your DB Backup to the new host SQL.
    6. install Connect on the new hardware.

    7. do not start the services again, first restore the backup content.

    8 start services, bring up the console and connect to the DB.

    9. check your settings in the console, a reboot may be necessary first.

    10. do not load the login page?

    11. follow the installation guide for step 1 for re - apply SSL config if necessary (in Connect 8 it is slightly different from that of C7)

    Change the name of windows machine, may cause some trouble, not always, but it is easier to use just the name of the new material.

    If this isn't an option, an entry in the DB conenct must be updated:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/407/kb407446.html

    I'm pretty sure that these steps will work, but can't test this and I don't know your exact environment, so I can give no guarantee that this will work. It is always good to simply moving to a new test equipment and if things go wrong, bring back the old system of support of production and contact.

    Good luck!

  • How can I keep 'Other' small data storage?

    I have a 6-16GB iPhone running on iOS 9.3.2.  A few months ago I started to run out of storage space, and I found it was used mainly by 'other' data upward.  I tried many, MANY tips given here and on other sites, in order to reduce others' my data, to the point of finally breaking and restore my iPhone to factory settings, then individually re-download my mail, applications, photos, etc. Mac support.  Initially, this great worked, now here we are a few months later, and my 'other' is back up to 7GB. I am so frustrated, that I do not understand why my 'other' data are so large. I thought by loading everything individually instead of simply to restore a backup, I would have managed to get rid of the corrupt files, etc. It is not possible to have to restore my phone settings whenever this happens, I need a more permanent solution to keep this 'other' data in check.  Any suggestions?

    You are right. Restaurant as new every time is not the way to handle this. I suspect that one of your applications creates the issue but identifying that one would be difficult, likely error. 7 GB of others is much too large, I tend to run about 1 or 2 GB maximum. These articles can help, but like I said, I think the problem is with a single application.
