Failures of incompatible poweron saying lack of disk parent

I opened a support on this (SR # 12169721004) ticket, but I thought I would ask here too.

Thank you

Power Chess:

I have failures when I turn on a configuration successfully deployed.  About half of the VMS is arguing that the parent disk was not found. The configurations are deployed to a single host.

All virtual machines are in the same data store and have been deployed from a library. The virtual machines in question have a link in the chain of disk because the library has been consolidated.

That same library has successfully deployed a configuration and that the configuration has successfully deployment and powered all the virtual machines.

In addition, If I undpeloy the configuration failed and immediately to redeploy it a second time, VMs that does not power on first time fuel successfully on the second time and machines that work successfully the first time may fail the second time.

For example a machine named "mmnfs" running successfully in the first attempt and failure to power on at the second attempt.

Here's a sample error

at LabManager.Backend.DRSClusterDeploymentBucket._AsyncDeploy (CDeployableVMContainer container, vms [] CVirtualMachine, IAkimbiManagedServer [] deploymentServers, DeployOptions options, FenceRuntimeMap nfMap, Boolean cfgDeployed, NetIpMap netIpMap, RollbackList rollbackList)

  • Not to feed one or more virtual machines.

Badly fragmented in the database:

Our Lab Manager performance is poor and the windows computer running server LM looks in good condition.  Documentation of LM not talking about DB maintenance and I have yet to find on the forums (Plese point my to this info if I'm blind).

I do not think that when the list of virtual machines deployed there is a spike of CPU to 100% on Windows Server. I ran the management tool of SQL studio to list physical evidence and they are severely fragmented. I guess that relate to the power above about chess.

I found several procedures to perform maintenance on a Server 2005 express that I asked a clone isolated from my Lab Manager server. These procedures claim to have executed successfully, but do not defragment or re-index anything.

One of the procedures I used is http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp?ID=27

Wayne,

Did you get this resolved?

Here are my thoughts:

1. According to the ESX host you deploy to, change the VM (s) affected.

2. all virtual machines go to the exact same ESX host to limit the scope of the question.

3. When you cancel the deployment / deploy the host ESX is the only factor of evolution given the same settings (Configuration).

Have you recently made changes/differences what so ever in your environment?  (New ESX host, new data store, new/different software packages between the devices, datastore will?)

If you cancel the deployment/redeployment to the exact same ESX host, are more consistent errors?

Are you running the NFS storage?   (UUID for NFS is based on the way to mount in "esxcfg-nas - l")

If a disk or a disk channel could not be found when on an ESX host specific, there is probably a difference in the UUID of an ESX host to another.  This can quickly be checked by comparing the output of will vmfs/volumes /' or other commands.  Lab Manager uses an absolute path of vmfs/volumes / to reference the files on disc, so any inconsistency can cause problems.

See you soon,.
