• move VMs from the local shared storage

  We are running ESXi 4.1 with local storage that we did experiments with VMware. Close have 2 new purchased hosts with a SAN for the shared storage, hopefully, they will arrive at the end of January. I need to build a couple of virtual machines to take care of a few issues until our new VM environment is set up. If I create a new virtual machine on my host with local storage and that you want to move to new hosts and the shared storage the arrival of our new purchase, I guess I can do it with vMotion? Other methods too? Also, is there anything I need to worry as move us VMS local shared storage storage and a new host of ramifications?

  Thanks for helping a newbie, Tom

  You will need Enterprise or Enterprise Plus access to Storage vMotion. vMotion moves a virtual machine from one host to the host running but no storage.

  Yes.

  We have activated the family sharing. ICloud-storage is also shared in the family? What about iTunes game - is this also shared storage?

• External partition problem 'shared storage' AT105

  I'm not entirely sure what the problem is exactly, but I can only download and install programs videos on the partition of storage shared my tablet. I have about 2 GB of free space on my internal storage, 3 GB free on my SD card and yet I am limited to the 200 MB of free space f 'shared storage' in settings/applications.
  I already tried to switch to Tablet option on all applications, but it shows only 200 MB of total free space of 2.5 GB of shared storage.

  My question is, how can I get rid of this partition or how can I download on my memory internal or SD card. No matter what I do, everything I download or install is sent to the shared storage. I have a ton of free space that I can not access.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Android apps would be installed on internal flash of my knowledge.
  You can use some applications like app2SD to move the only app to SD card.
  But not all the apps that support.

  In addition, the SD card must be formatted in exFAT to write to the SD card

• If we have 2 remote sites with the same shared storage, can we mount a drive shared on remote site?

  Dear Experts,

  If we have 2 remote sites with the same shared storage, can mount us a drive on remote site?

  • Assume that the oracle database is on the shared disk (for example HP 3PAR)
  • Primary Oracle server with storage as a common drive (storage shared on sites geographical apart) have all the files database.
  • failure, it is possible to mount the drive even at the remote site and mount the database oracle it?

  There must be no effect on the as it should the same disk that has dismantled master site.

  Thank you and best regards,

  Thanks a lot mseberg

  Is it a design valid ?

  • We have remote sites and want to set up DR. As we only SE pare data is therefore no choice.
  • We think of the SAN replication option.

  Have you ever seen / configured such architecture or design?

  Can you please throw some light on this. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

  Thank you best regards &,.

• OBIEE Disaster Recovery can be configured without CARS and shared storage?

  Hi people,

  As say the topic, I'm looking for advice on disaster recovery. What I find in the docs pointing me to the high availability configuration, or maybe I'm simply not find the docs I'm looking for. And it always points to the RAC, etc. of shared storage. My database is already configured to Dataguard and I want to do things this way, with a recovery site which isn't always upwards and a part of a cluster (although it's very well as long as the CAR is not involved), I'm looking for some feedback on how people do things. I have 11.1 now, but will be upgrading to 12.2 soon.  Just a straight stitch to the documentation would be useful if I'm missing just that.

  Thank you

  -Adam

  Since you have already configured Dataguard and in a DR situation, you will be switching/switch on your course in standby mode and it will active db. All this is fine. You can do the same with instances of weblogic OBIEE. You can clone your binaries installed using tools provided by Oracle cloning, or build binaries from weblogic with the accurate determination of drive on your Dr. use the pack of weblogic server and then unzip tool to archive your entire weblogic domain and it Unarchive in your prepared DR server.

  Now, you have to just challenge the hostname (s) of your domain to point to your database JDBC data sources and weblogic.

  To facilitate the task, you can change the host name used by weblogic to host alias that can be remapped in DNS during DR. Similarly, you can change the JDBC connection string so that it can automatically select the active database as long as you use a database instead of a SID service name in the connection string.

  You will need to regularly make a pack on your weblogic domain in order to maintain an up-to-date backup of your domain proximity. Similarly, if you have reports that are stored on the file system, they must also be backed up regularly so that they can be restored.

• Recommended the Directory Structure of shared storage for deployment of enterprise on Windows environment

  Hello

  I need to install FMW on windows with high availability environment using the storage that is shared in the following way:

  3 windows 2008 R2 servers servers:

  Host1 (Server Admin): gale servers (Server Admin) and EM

  host2 (content 1): wecenter content: servers eats ( COE, WCCUI, IBR, CAPTURE)

  host3 (content 1): wecenter content: servers eats ( COE, WCCUI, IBR, CAPTURE)

  
  

  Host3 will be Host2 high availability on each managed as cluster based server
  

  
  

  the question is how to design the structure of directory on windows environment, I need best practices
  

  I found in the Linux directory structure "Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle WebCenter Content" as follows:

  So how do apply on windows

  

  Hello

  Thank you! All the best. Be careful in choosing to shared storage.

  # If your shared file system accessible via CIFS, SMB or Samba, you may search and/or performance indexing and corruption problems when you use the Verity search engine (not supported in 11g).

  # If your file system shared accessible via CIFS, SMB or Samba, you should disable opportunistic locking (oplocks - data client-side caching) of the file system as it might interfere with the normal operations of Content Server. With solutions for storage network (SIN), the performance of the file system may be closely related to oplocking (data caching client-side), which disables the opportunistic locking can cause performance problems. Please plan your architecture accordingly.

  Please feel free to correct if you get your answer to other purposes.

  Thank you

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

• Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

  Hello

  I have 2 esxi host (hp dl 380 G8) and put them in a cluster and other host esxi (dl 380 g7) and I have no shared storage and use local disks just now I must spend my VM G7 server a cluster of the G8 but I want to know I can join my cluster g8 g7 and migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  I want to know can migrate without downtime with localdisk? I have no shared storage

  Best regards

  BAbak

  can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

  You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

  migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

  Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

  The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).

• Two servers vCenter and shared storage

  Hi all

  Is it possible to have two vCenter environment, vCenter 5.1 and 5.5 vCenter and each vcenter has two esxi hosts to vCenter 5.1 a 5.1 host esxi and vCenter 5.5 has esxi hosts.

  All four hosts to access the same shared storage (SAN).

  VCenter hosts different access to the shared storage will damage the virtual machines on storage?

  Thank you...

  Essentially access a data store from multiple hosts that are running different versions. However, in the case of these hosts are not managed by the same server vCenter Server, it is your responsibility to ensure that guests will not access the same VMs (records) system and maximum supported are not outdated storage vMotion tasks, for example simultaneous for a data store...

  Also don't forget that functions like the control of storage i/o may not work as expected.

• vSphere 6 FT cannot yet compensate for shared storage takedown?

  Hello

  a few questions about the PI with vsphere 6.0 — we just noted this in the test lab:

  (a) is it true that the 'source' vm where you want to enable IP MUST be on shared storage? because it seems that way.

  As you mentioned in the documents, it is now possible to locate the storage for the target on a separate storage VMDK (this can also be a non-shared storage just seen by the target host).

  Now the second question: we ft´t just a machine (source on the shared storage, target on a local storage of target esxi. Bootet, installed the virtual machine just cool. Each host may die - all cool.

  NOW, we killed the shared storage of laboratory. We wondered: Hmmmm... OK... If the second host the vmdk and both hosts have the namespace and the vmx why not keep the virtual machine running on the target storage? But what we saw was disappointing: the protected virtual machine became unresponsive. Is this expected behavior? The new ft cannot lose the shared storage?

  Best regards

  Joerg

  Unfortunately, FT in vSphere 6 still relies on storage shared for the tiebreaker file and source VMX file and other functions.

• Using the odd drive with shared storage

  We have deployed a 15-node cluster with shared storage.  When we issue a df - h, we see the root filesystem and / mnt mounted file systems.

  We also see the file of each of the other systems the datanodes on the local storage of the each other.  For example...

  / mnt/SCSI-123abc is mounted on the server server01

  / mnt/SCSI-456def is mounted on server02

  Under/mnt on the server server01, we also see/mnt/scsi-456def under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

  Under/mnt on server02, we also see/mnt/scsi-123abc under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

  Is this a problem of storage configuration, or is this something that the BDE has decided when it deployed?

  Thank you

  Steve

  BTW, you can add your script hack or the scripts that I have provided in the /opt/serengeti/sbin/format-disk.py file in the node template, and then after that the empty cluster is created, the mount point/mnt/bigdata1... are there the/mnt/bigdataN.

• Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

  Hello

  I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

  Thanks in advance...

  If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

• vSphere high availability with no shared storage? And general problems with VMware partner supplier

  
  HA can function without shared storage?

  It may not by the availability of vSphere manual.  However the global VMware partner who sold me on VMware solution said that the shared storage is not required for HA.

  This is the same guy who told me that I would not need to buy Windows Server licenses because everything was included in the package (vSphere Essentials Plus).  Now, I have no Windows license, no shared storage and a customer who will not be happy that we did not include these costs in the citation for this project.

  HA can function without shared storage?

  No.... you need a storage shared for HA.

  This is the same guy who told me that I would not need to buy Windows Server licenses because everything was included in the package (vSphere Essentials Plus).  Now, I have no Windows license, no shared storage and a customer who will not be happy that we did not include these costs in the citation for this project.

  Maybe your partner speak the vCenter Server Appliance that is included on vSphere Essentials Plus and you can use this device to manage your vSphere, ESXi without need a VM of Windows (with Windows license) to install the vCenter server.
