• Failed to create full-size VMFS Datastore on large virtual disk on Dell R710 5 2 t + 1, Raid 5 PERC6i controller

  ESXi4, I installed it on my Dell R710. She has 6 1 TB on PERC6i SAS drives, 5 discs do Raid 5 with hot spare disk 1. And I created 3 VD, 1 is from 40 GB to install the OS, 2 is 1 TB to contain the model ISO and VM and 3 is 2.6 TB to contain the VM.

  After installing ESXi4, I found only 2 created Datastore: 2. 39 GB 1 Datastore and 1 TB data store no data store has been created on the VD 2.6 TB.

  I tried to create it manually, but I found that only 635 GB in size can be created on this 2.6 t. Why? As I remembered ESXi4 can support up to 64 TB VMFS Datastore.

  The BIOS is 1.0.4.

  Someone had the idea?

  Hi all

  I'm trying to convert a physical Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) virtual, using Vmware vCenter Converter Standalone version 5.5 build 1362012, it fails at 1% (after around 40mins) with the following message

  Windows systems has some LUN (4 x each various size GB) San, being the GUID (GPT) Partition Table.  I went through the wizard as a general rule, by selecting "edited on the machine", a player selected vmware "vmware workstation" or another vmware virtual machine destination 6.0.x and the location of the target being a LUN with 500 GB of space.

  Now for the data to be copied I selected 3 LUN (on a database resides) and put the 'Size' option (but I tried to keep the size of the various passes) to save space.

  I wonder if the converter is not able to work on the GPT partitions?  (I think I saw some discussion of the community on this problem using v.5.1, but using 5.5 should be resolved?)

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you

  Your problem is with VSS, it is probably the lack of space, to seek solutions and similar problems.

  Errors that you see are expected, we need a full newspaper bundle for investigation and don't warry on GPT disks, they are supported with converter 5 +.

• More about "ERROR: failed to create a snapshot of a volume of the source.

  I saw the previous posts on this and have tried to follow all the advice, but nothing helped.  I am running XP and you have two hard drives, NTFS and both have plenty of space.  My destination is an external hard drive, FAT32, with plenty of room.  I get the ERROR message: failed to create a snapshot of a volume of the source. Ppossible causes include not seen all NTFS volumes on Windows XP or Windows 2003 source systems with no is not enough of disk space.

  I installed the converter as an administrator, I rebooted several times, I ran / f checkdsk on both hard drives and external drives, I have disabled all the services that I am uncomfortable, turn off, but just, I get this message.  I have attached the log file.

  Thanks for any help.

• Failed to create/remove snapshots

  I can't create or delete snapshot files either using VCenter or the CLI.  I think that it's because there are too many files of snapshots (36), but none of them appear in the Snapshot Manager.  I know not if I can create one and then delete everything in the Snapshot Manager which should solve the problem, but when I go to create one I have error: "Create snapshot in VM VMNAME cannot complete the operation because the file or folder already exists."

  The list of the files of the virtual machine is attached.

  Any suggestions?

  Since you have enough free space on the disk cloning option should work perfectly for you. What I recommend you to do so is:

  • Power off / stop the virtual machine (do not hang it)
  • backup the vmx file (in case something goes wrong)
  • Open a command line and cd to the directory of the virtual machine
  • run: vmkfstools-i RTPRJN.vmdk RTPRJN1.vmdk
  • on the virtual parameters detachment RTPRJN.vmdk computer HARD drive (do not select "remove disc" if requested)
  • in the virtual machine settings set the new RTPRJN1.vmdk as the virtual disk
  • Turn on the virtual machine

  If everything works as expected, you can remove all of the old/obsolete vmdk files.

  If - at any time - you don't know, please stop and ask in return!

• The list of all virtual machines with more than 2 virtual disks

  Hello.

  I want to list all virtual machines in a data center vCenter, who got more than 2 virtual disks. Here's the workflow, I am working on that:

  1 get the view of data center

  2. get the Cluster Data Center view like the 'begine_entity '.

  3. for each view cluster overview the VirtualMachine bit cluster seen as 'begin_entity '.

  4. for each VM view, this information: VirtualMachine-> config-> hardware-> device of

  Above information is a table.

  I need help in order to extract information from this table disk, then run an if condition where the VM who got more than 2 discs should print.

  Could help you. I wrote the script to the point 4. just need advice for the posterior.

  Thank you.

  You can try one of the following values-

  1 If ($vm-> {'summary.config.numVirtualDisks'} > 2) {...}

  2 $diskCnt = grep {$_-> isa ('VirtualDisk')} @{$vm-> {'config.hardware.device'}};

  The above assumes that you've got your $vm with a filter property as follows:

  $vms = Vim::find_entity_views (view_type-online 'VirtualMachine'), the properties-online ['summary.config.numVirtualDisks', 'name', 'config.hardware.device'];

  my $vm foreach (@{$vms}) {}

• Failed to create FT logging with grouping of NETWORK cards

  I use vSphere vCenter 5.1 and 5.1.

  I create a port group of kernel VM on a new vSwitch, assign two NICs used on my ESX Server and logging FT. I have then add a second port VM kernel group to the two network cards and also assign FT logging. When I do this FT Logging the first port of kernel VM group is disabled. If I then manually enable FT gones then a second by logging on the first group of ports of kernel VM mode off.

  The same thing happens when I create 2 vSwitches, assign 1 NIC to each of them and assign the FT logging.

  I wanted to create my FT Logging predisposees in this way to match what I've done with vMotion and VM Network.

  I do something wrong or you can have a group of ports per server for recording of FT? Please notify.

  Thank you

  Multi-NIC VMotion is a new feature in vSphere 5.0. Multi-NIC FT has not yet been introduced. You mentioned trade Multi-NIC VM, but it is not possible either. While you can have two interchanges to connect to the same VLAN they must have unique names and a VM NIC may connect only to a unique name.

  What advantage do you hope to achieve with Multi - NIC FT? If the goal is more throughput 10G is the only option currently. If the lens is better traffic load balancing so that you could watch LACP on the vDS.

• Removal of all the snapshots--&gt; error: more space for virtual disk...

  Hello everyone

  I'm quite new to VMware and has failed to find a solution for my problem. If someone could help me, it would be awesome!

  During the migration of a SBS2003 guest at a new SBS2008 customer, I made some shots. I have now finished, the new SBS2008 works well and is already in production. Now I wanted to free up the space occupied by all these snapshots and finished with this error:

  There is no more space for disk virtual hercules2.mydomain.local - 000005.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by the release of disk space on the relevant volume, and then click Retry.

  The SBS2008 still seems to work very well. All snapshots in the Snapshot Manager left... but when you browse the data store the snapshot files are still there.

  How to proceed now?

  Thanks in advance everybody!

  Renaud

  If you have another store of data with extra space, you can clone the virtual computer to the another data store.

• Failed to create snapshot... file is larger than the size max...

  I'm getting the "file is greater than the maximum size supported by the store of data... »

  I read the KB figure I can move the. VMX file to another data store to get the snapshot to work.

  But I'm having a hard time understanding why this is happening.  I want to avoid this in the future.

  My data store is 67,50 GB of capacity, with 16.92 GB free.

  Block size is 1 MB.

  I understand that 1 MB BS may comprise a maximum of 256 GB.

  Could someone please explain in English how Vmware is the calculation that the 16 GB of free space is not enough?

  Please be nice

  Thank you.

  Yes, that is the question, 272 GB is too large for the size of block 1 data store MB. Front of vSphere 5, all snapshots are created in the home of the virtual machine folder by default. With vSphere 5, this has changed and now snapshots are created in the same folder as the virtual disks from their parent.

  I found the problem

  Some VM had a disc mounted in vSphere. It worked until last week, don't know why this problem only appears now.

  After you have disconnected the CD, 'manage the snapshot' list still empty, I clicked on consolidate first, after that, back to 'manage the snapshot' and my snapshots

  appeared. And last step, I deleted this snapshot for merge all...

  Maybe this will help someone else...
