Free INODES and % free RAMDISK

Hi all

I need to create a PowerCLI script to gather some informaion after 30 hosts x ESXi 5.0 on a daily basis. Here's the equivalent information in a SSH session with the required information in the Red - but I want to do this without using SSH on each host and bring it together manually;

  • 0 blocks free PTR - cannot create new files on the data store

    We have been experiencing problems trying to power on virtual machines. When attempting to power on virtual machines, we see the error "cannot extend the pagefile from 0 KB to 2097152 KB".

    We checked the .vswp file are created in the folder of the Virtual Machine on the data store. Connection to the ESXi host, we have seen the following in vmkernel.log error message:

    When we turn off a virtual machine, it will release 1 block of PTR and we would be able to on another VM / create the 20 GB file using "dd". Once we reached 0 free blocks of PTR, we are unable to create new files.

    Can anyone give any suggestions on how we may be able to clear the blocks PTR? We have already tried to restart all services of management on all ESXi hosts connected.

    FreeNAS is not running on a virtual machine.

    We solved the problem by finding a lot PTR blocks have been used by many of our models of virtual machine. Remove the disk models solved the problem.

  • How can I determine what files given File Record Segments Point to?

    I'm under NTFS, and I have a volume of 2 TB with a lot of files that it contains.  Fortunately, I cloned the entire volume to another volume of 2 TB on occasion (using WinDD, basically an exact bit-by-bit image of the entire 2 TB).  Unfortunately, the volume, I used to work failed, and my last clone was old enough.  To remedy this, I switched to Linux and ddrescue to get as many recovered defective disc I have.  When I finally gave up the recovery (after weeks, but it seemed that it would take years to get a lot more value), I stayed with 1.3MiB evil space in two or three sections of the volume, especially in the 1kiB sections (generally there was 2 bad sectors, followed by a number of sectors well followed by 2 more bad sectors etc.).  The volume had clusters of 64 Kio, which left still potentially a lot of corruption.  After all this, I took the volume newly cloned (from bad disk) back to windows and ran chkdsk.  He finds 1 segment of corrupted file, 336 segments of the orphan file and 440 bad index entries.  So he deleted all those (which included about 6 files that moved to the chkdsk finds the file, the rest was individual files which are now gone).  I do not know what files have disappeared, but I know that most of the lost files are probably on my good old clone of the volume.  Comparing volumes per-folder basis, would be a nightmare, and I suppose cannot easily use a tool (or find a free) because of the number of changes that have not been saved.  I have the registered chkdsk log so I can sort through this.  Can someone tell me a good way to know what files the segments to record file deleted perpendicularly on the volume where they have not been removed?  For example, here are two chkdsk log records:

    Delete a corrupt file record segment 1107859.

    Delete a 1069930 an orphan file record segment.

    Since I know specifically what segment to save file, I need to look on the good clone, can I somehow extract file information about the MFT file segment numbers?

    Notice that I must not use XP to do, which is be where the volume has been created and repaired.

    Well, I finally had the chance to try some Linux ntfs-based utilities.  I'm not sure they are NTFS - 3g, important or ntfsutils, but all those who have a favorite linux distribution should be able to fire and get the information I needed easily.  The numbers are numbers of inodes, and two orders were very useful.  It has provided what I need:

    ntfscluster - I

    It included the full path to the file in question and very little information.  This command has provided a lot of information that I didn't need:

    NTFSInfo-i

    He did not provide the path, but provide the number of inode in the directory parent, so you can reverse engineer the path using this command again and again.

  • Problems of configuration of SNMP 5.1 ESXi - .trp files accumulate after that SNMP is disabled

    Hello

    We had 2 problems with our new servers ESXi 5.1 has:

    1 vMotions to fail 13%

    2. some of the virtual machines are not accessible through their consoles. (Impossible to contack MKS)

    To resolve these issues, I came across the following KB:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2040707

    I did the step necessary and even created a new host profile where the SNMP agent is disabled. However, on a successful remmediation of the new profile, .trp files continue to accumulate in/var/spool/snmp (above 3000 files in 2 days) and I have no idea what creates these files of trap and why.

    Anyone can shed light on this issue?

    This is solved in the latest version of vSphere 5.1 update 1.

    Release notes: https://www.vmware.com/support/vsphere5/doc/vsphere-esxi-51u1-release-notes.html

    The vpxa.log contains several entries that are similar to the following:

  • Is empty the cache broken in the last update?

    In following these instructions in the past, empty the cache takes 5 minutes and when restarting it would go while "Optimizing the app xx xx" and take a long time.

    I tried this tonight and the wipe cache in the recovery takes about 5 seconds, weird, but I continued and restarted. It starts normally and was in the lock screen in under 2 minutes, with no sign of the optimization of applications. So I rebooted and tried again, same result, Journal practically the same cache. A second wipe cache in a row without restarting the computer gives the same results without the entries "blk".

    This does not seem normal.

  • Commit complete, although the current recovery log file online have been removed.

    Even though I have deleted current online redo log file in the linux operating system (Linux of Oracle), when I hit 'commit' he says it committed "complete."

    It's just for this princip? *: "if only when all redo records associated with a given transaction are safely drive in online newspapers is the user process notified that the transaction has been posted." *

    I think that it can lead to data loss in some cases... I am using Oracle 11 g R2 on OEL (x 64)...

    Can someone explain to me? I'm stuck in this situation...

    PS: I don't have multiplexes current group ENT files...

    and these transactions are committed. It is in fact means that these transactions are not committed

    WHAT!
    In Oracle, if the transaction is committed - it is committed.

    I can't understand how the database allows users to validate transactions that are not actually written to the disc... is the concern of the operating system or the Oracle database?

    Your understanding is wrong.
    The newspaper is actually written to disk. This is the case. Even the name of the file is removed from the directory, the file is physically existing and can write. And all will be physically stored in the sectors of the disk HARD (or SSD).
    However, if the file is deleted, which means that his name is no longer in the directory, next time, Oracle will try to open it (by name) will fail because it will not conclude it in dir.
    This is why it is very important in this case do not stop at Oracle, but take the backup with RMAN and better to restore files deleted in OS using their inodes and the old names.

  • Physical configuration DataFile

    We'll do an upgrade to 11 GR gr coming 2 10 2 and given that we are going to use the path of recommended export/import, seems now that the right time to potentially correct an oversight with the PDS. Way back when the previous DBA have been put in place things here, they poured all the tables and indexes in 6 areas of storage (3) depending on the size of the table. This seems to be a bad idea for me, because it means that most of our data is in the 1 table space since our account of large tables for 75% of the database. Maybe there is a good reason for this approach, or perhaps it makes no difference. At least they separated the index of the data.

    My first instinct is to restructure the request from things, allows us to perform a recovery on an application data while leaving the others in good health. Our large tables I was going to give them their own tablespace. Then I started thinking about the data file size and granular how I might want to get to the designation of the applications. I don't want to blow this thing into a menagerie of small tablespaces, 1 file.

    So my question is, are their any degradation of performance or other "traps" associated with spill things together in incredibly large datafiles? I can't find any documentation on the subject and thought that I would ask the crowd about their experiences.

    Thank you.

    I understand that TABLESPACE are not not to access the data. Give me some credit. However, your analogy of the hard drive. If I ask a word doc, the operating system goes to the correct inode and starts to pull the data blocks based on what it finds. It is not read through all of the disk until it finds this document as well as the beginning by extracting data. It uses an index to chase down the data. Just as a database uses an index to fetch the data, he needs.

    But, you mentioned that the tablespaces are read "in order." If this is the case by reading 100G of datafile to join the block k 8 you really need would seem like more work than reading with say 10 GB of data. That being said, the blocks of data/index will be scattered in a tablespace and mingled with the blocks of data/index of the other tables. So, if we need to do a full table scan on a table stored in a tablespace of 100G which will be more expensive than if this table have been stored in a tablespace of 10G. Even with an index scan, have yet to read through the table space in order to join the block you need?

    It depends on. With something like exadata storage itself is pretty smart to do some pruning, the database only has to request a complete analysis. For most normal situations, the data density may make a difference, according to what you are doing. Oracle can find things quickly through rowid and enter massive numbers through diluvium readings and direct paths. In older versions, a busy system could have problems with the fly of the SGA, but more recent versions can do more in the PGA.

    There are only a few things these days that are affected by the size of the data file, and even those who are generally more affected by application crackles of data access. So, if you have a lot of data files, they all data file headers that must be updated and coordinated with the control files. Which can lead to wait on the controlfiles. Conversely, if you have several data files, you find yourself could wait on the contention for those few data file headers. With the current system under extreme load, what do you see?

    One thing you might check (I saw in making a difference on some of my systems) is performance rman. Parallelizes it, and if you have a much larger tablespace, which can be a path critical on a full backup.

    You might very well based on the recovery of an application, if you have a real critical system you need to quickly restore, there might be some value to have a number of small data files and all the others only in a few areas of storage dump. I used to think of the size of the object or the volatility to separate spaces for storage, but with the SAME modern and LMT, why bother? Although I tend to give the BIRDS themselves, others users to keep it separate from the standard apps more predictable and more than anything else.

    YMMV, this is why you can't find on it and perhaps should ignore everything you find.

    So, you are on a RAID 10 SAN, or do you have a more idiosyncratic storage?

  • Information in the VMX file reader

    Is virtual and RDM disk information saved in the VMX file?  Type the location of the disk (virtual disk or Raw Device Mapping) file, disk, node mode and peripheral ramdisk (independent, persistent or not persistent) and compatibility (physical or virtual) mode.  I only seem to be able to find the disc mode and part, part of which is in a hexadecimal format.

    gwok01,

    The information in the Client VI if manually browse you your VM (s) and look at its disk configurations, you can tell whether a RDM (physical/virtual), as well as other attributes. This information is stored within each ESX/ESXi host and I am just extract VM (s) that contain a ROW (s) and printing gives information by using vimsh.

    I remember not casual if this information is also stored in vCenter, if hosts are joined, but you may also be able to interrogate the VMDB if you use vCenter.

    Could you please explain why I am forced to give my payment details when downloading free apps.

    This created a problem where Apple could not take my payment for the storage of data.

    I'm afraid that in this time where we are regularly be warned of not not to give our bank details

    Apple's app Store has a policy to give your details to anyone and then see if you can go in the app

    and clearly your details.

    even if we do and are not able to remove details or remove the application that they have our details.

    What bothers me, because if you select 'none' for details of the Bank you can always download the application - so the argument of the evidence of what country you are, makes no sense.

    I hope that apple can now take my payment of storage - but you'll stop select new applications.

    Please tell us how can I pay to Apple, but no one else has my contact information.

    If you think that you found something to remove outside your home folder, it would be better to ask first before deleting.  There are many examples of people deleting files outside their home folder, rename files, or change the property or file permissions and then their Mac stops running.  Don't be one of those people.  Ask first.
