General issue of file on why my data store has 3 files with a _1 and _2

OK, I'm a little new to this thing of VMware, but I was the main actor in this migration and have been the building and move all our servers to our ESX 3.5 with a back-end SAN platform.

I did well until this weird thing, that I think that I understand, but I just don't know how to solve, or how it happened.  And right next to the bat, no I did not the instant code with this server... those that have been cleaned in the time there... Now

My situation:

I have virtual machines that are created equal, that they all have a 'C' drive for the operating system on another dedicated "LUNS for OS Storage" and then they have their readers of 'd' of the newspapers "SQL" on a dedicated LUN in mirror, and then the 'E' drive is on dedicated aonther "LUN DATA.

If all servers have 2 or 3 LUNS associated with them. That's how the SAN engineer and I designed it. OK works great.  Until one day, I noticed that I was shy about 40 GB space on my SQL LUN. Took time but I think I found the culprit, but I don't know how to solve this problem, or if it will break my dose. So here I ask you all.

One of my servers called "Server01" has 2 drives associated with it and supposedly 2 / 2 data warehouses, or even what he had initially when it was built in August!

Now, the operating system data store is fine.

When I'm on Console V and I click with the button straight on my server and go to his 'change settings' is what I see:

SERVER01of properties on the "change settings of ' Advanced ' your drive hard 1" to the appropriate LUN and all the VMDK and those files are there. ""  (IE OS LUN 10)

But "hard drive 2" pointing to the right LUNS (IE SQL LUN11), but his record is called "server01_2"?  What?    She was built and given a hard drive on this LUN, but the name of the folder is wrong.   So I'll browse my store data and low and this is, I have 3 files with the same server name (IE... ( Server01, Server01_1, Server01_2 ) OK so what happened? Why? How? and how in the heck can I get my space back 40gig?

I checked records the name of the original server, as well as the other files on the data store with the numbers in the annex of _1 and 2 and they have all VMDK files in it... of course dates on all the VMDK files are different and I guess that since the server points to the folder called + "SERVER012" + and its VMDK file has the most recent data buffer on this subject since the last Vmotion We did it, he must then use this folder.

OK great... but now that messes up my folder structure, and if this server does not use other VMDK files and folders he ate up to 40 GB of my precious space!

I'm pretty sure when I went on vacation last year, because it is the time of the timestamp on the VMDK files in older records and "dates of the task of the procedures as" trying to clone, suspend, model, reconfgure, snapshot "etc. that the other members of the team tried to do something, which lead to my having 3 files on my store of data with 3 VMDK files in them.?  Nobody seems to know or remind us what it is they are trying to do... great... Well...

I just want to know + If the server points to a folder called "Server01_2" and it has the most recent date stamp on this subject, can I then rename other files? + and then I can delete them?   And if I successful, how can I get my server to have the name of the correct folder again?    Instead of a * _2* on the end of it?

Any suggestion would be great!    I learned the hard way that if your VM operating system is built and pointing to a file with a specific name, and you try to rename it to match the server, your operating system does not start!. LOL I hope that is not the case with a folder that has a 20gig assigned to HDD with oner VMDK file in it...

Help!

Thank you

No problem.  Cold migration allows you to move all your files in a data store.  You can use svmotion to move disks to different LUN, but the syntax is somewhat more complex.  The help option shows exactly how to move a machine virtual disk at a time.  Basically, you can move a disk with the config file, so basically, you move the config file and the disk of your choice in the data store that you need.  Move back the config for the original data store file, then repeat the process with the next disc.

  • Data store space used not maching between VMWare and 3PAR

    Hello world

    I have a strange behavior between our environment VMWare and 3PAR storage system.

    I checked each data store of our cluster and for each of them, the space used in vSphere Client does not match the size of the user 'used' their volume associated with 3PAR.  The value displayed in VMware is higher.

    For example, our data store named DS03 has space around 1 TB in VMWare.  And when I checked in the Console of 3PAR, I see that the volume created for this data store has a size of the user 'used' 722 GB.

    While doing some research, I came across this post: ability to store data about the free space is not the same thing in VMware and 3PAR

    But the problem I encounter is quiet different. It's the opposite. I do not understand why the displayed value is higher in VMWare...  We are also running vSphere Server version 5.1.0

    Any advice? Ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    It's the ASIC 3PAR inline zero detection function stripping zeros of incoming data until they land on the disc. Www.3parug.com try this happens a lot.

  • Data store can be seen from a host, and then disappeared...

    I had a store of data on LUN 2 point.  Two GB 425 our EMC SAN LUNS have been used and it worked well on one of our ESX host.  We had not realised the rest of the armed forces had not resumed the data store.  I tried a new analysis on all hosts without success, the data store would simply not appear.  All the guests could see the LUNS, but with the same identifier.  Resignaturing disc is already enabled as these hosts also replicated LUN mount so I had to the potential problem of LUN ID set match to discount.  I checked the presentation of storage, fiber channel, zoning, everything was OK.  So I turned off the virtual machine and decided to anyone two LUNS to the Group of storage and the re - present but things only got worse...

    The data store has now completely disappeared.

    I was wondering if anyone else had encountered / solve such a problem?  I did a search on the community and the knowledge base and could not find anything to help me.

    I run fdisk and checked the Lun, but I'm stuck now.  My next step will be to log a call of support with VMWare...  Fortunately, it's on our DR site ESX host, but now I lost just a SQL database more than 600 GB in size...

  • Export and general issues of file

    Hey guys,.

    We do a lot of catalogs from 8pp to 24pp and seem to have a lot of questions on export-exporting and just using the files.

    My system is as follows

    Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200
    4 GB of ddr3 RAM (only 3.5 get used)

    Windows XP pro SP3

    and Adobe CS3 Master Collection


    the catalogues are very heavy images and I was wondering if the following situations can cause problems:

    File Jerkness overall while navagating through documents.

    -Is a common problem?

    -several images with an effective resolution of more than 1200 will cause jerks

    -All placed images should be as close to 300 PPI as possible?

    -Make Illustrator files with mixtures of blur and transparency (I recently had a problem with that)

    PDF export

    -Computers just crash

    -Sometimes have errors of jpeg.

    -Errors of memory

    All files get packaged prior to export and all the CMYK image color profiled.

    We use master pages and character styles or paragraph and errors occur on multiple computers.


    So basically I was wondering especially if it's how we create and place documents or is it a problem of computer hardware/software.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you.

    Probably a bad image on this page.

    Try to divide and conquer searching for it:

    Remove half of the page objects. If it exports, it is in half you deleted, otherwise it is always on the page.

    Return the objects to delete. If the bad object is in this group, remove half of this group, otherwise, remove half of the other group.

    Repeat until the object is isolated, should only take a few tries, then rebuild this image and replace.

    Moreover, my first suspects would be EPS. It is also possible that several objects is a problem, but it's less likely.

  • Exporting files with wrong timestamp and bad "update" folder

    My system is running Windows 7. CC in Lightroom to 2015.

    Yesterday, while working in Lightroom, we have experienced an unexpected failure. (My dog hit the switch! Don't laugh!)

    When the system rebooted, everything seemed normal with the exception that the 'Clarity' legend was missing in the develop module. The cursor worked as expected however.

    Today I have been using Lightroom without any apparent problem until I exported some images for my external storage. I discovered that time 'Date modified' case files have been exported and the files themselves showed the "Date modified" as on 01/01/2000.

    When I import files in Lightroom, it identifies the file date and time correctly and is important to the good year/month/day.

    The system clock is correct.

    . Any suggestions would be welcome!

    Bob.

    Hi loutses,.

    Indeed, I think it's more of a NAS Trier management as LR question, incidentally, you can try to disconnect the disk completely and then plug it in again.

    Also try one last thing, the images that you exported to desktop, now move them to SIN and then see if the sort order.

  • migration of data store has failed - now there are two vm - one power off?

    I was migrating a vm fw at different stores of data when a failure has occurred. They may have been cancelled or it may have been the fact that our vcenter server has restarted. I don't know if this would have caused this problem.

    In any case, now, two of the VM series two - power and the other copies are turned off. One that is off is the data store b and the virtual machine is the one data store. The strange thing is, shows of b (power off vm) data store which is where the files are located while the virtual machine is on a. When I browse a datastore I cannot find all files... It just hangs. I googled but am stuck.

    See the screenshots for more details. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: finally to load two data warehouses. They both show identical files: vmdk, vmfx, vmsd etc. for the two virtual machines on two data stores. It's weird!

    Edit 2: or vm, on or off, power to the high/off or migrate or remove from the inventory. Both are 'ping' and one that is good though.

    I figured this out. I have ssh was the host of the virtual machine is on (the two virtual machines were on the same hosts). Down to power, I ran the following command "esxcli vm kill process - type = soft - world id = xxxxx."

    That he got the vm to stop. The virtual machine of the same name already powered off then showed as "orphans". I removed the orphan vm of the inventory, the other vm started automatically acknowledgement of receipt, then I deleted the orphan vm of the 2nd data store.

    Mr. VMware

    Dear all,

    We have enclosed a case at VMware, please find their findings on the same.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the webex session, we just had, I discovered the root cause of the problem reported to an underlying problem on the block device (the logical drive, or a problem on the Board) presented to accommodate the data in question store successfully.

    In short, whenever we try to do raw reading from the disk (from sector 0), the same always fail when we reach the 30932992 bytes (31 MB) brand with an IO error (which is consistent, he is always on this region of the disc that read operations fail, no more, no less). This result can be seen, even if no partition is in the disk (using if = / dev/sdb instead of/dev/sdb1 with dd) and even after zeroing on all sectors (if dd \u003d/dev/zero of = / dev/sdb). Strangely, read operations work fine (as he writes zeros of random data) throughout the entire disk. Keep in mind that the tests I did with no VMware tools (I used almost only dd for these operations), which prohibits certainly a VMware problem (in fact, if you were to try to start the server with a Linux live CD and run the same tests that I did, you would see the same behavior).

    I know that there is no report of material of any bad behavior on the table, but data collected with our tests today completely invalid who. The next step is for you to take this to the server provider to check for problems on the table or discs, because they are there and they are the reason for the problem you reported initially.

    Please let me know if you have other questions about it.

    Thank you

  • In v31.0, I can view is more 'raw' XML files with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' characters. Is there a setting that will give me this option?

    Until a few days ago when I opened a file XML with Firefox, I see the content of the file appears with line breaks and ' < ' and ' / > ' and elements. Like this:

    fixed image in < typeOfResource > < / typeOfResource >

     <genre authority="marcgt">picture</genre>
     <genre authority="nmc">Print, Photographic</genre>
     <originInfo>

       <dateIssued encoding="marc">1884</dateIssued>
       <issuance>monographic</issuance>
     </originInfo>
     <language>
    

    Now, it will display like this:

     still image picture Print, Photographic 1884 1884 monographic eng electronic
    

    No tags or line breaks. I need to see the entire XML file. How can I configure FireFox to display this for me? One of my colleagues uses v31.0 and XML views with tags and the line breaks for him.

    For example, I was looking at files sitemap.xml (search Google for inurl:sitemap.xml). For those who have not declared a style sheet, you should always see the classic "source highlight: presentation

    Example: http://www.website.com/sitemap.xml

    Are the files that don't appear as similar planned by not declaring a style sheet?

    As a temporary workaround, you can view the source to see the original. Either:

  • InDesign server web service - where is the support to download a file with the script and download the result?

    Hello

    I'm working on a VINE which is supposed to convert indd files in pdf format (that is, using of course the indesign server). Basically, I want to call the Web Service of IDS (located on another machine, perhaps), spend in the input file, the conversion script and retrieve the result under the WebService call?

    Navigation on the documentation, examples, etc. in the SDK, I couldn't see how the above can be achieved unless the client manages the transfer of files. Surely I must be missing something...

    Thank you

    What do you mean by POC?

    InDesign Server is too valuable (i.e. cost of the license) to waste his time with file transfers.

    For a smaller scale, letting a separate process (http or smb server) on the same server hardware files - InDesign Server providing access on the local volume faster.

    If you are planning for bigger, use a dedicated server for file sharing (at the choice of the SMB, NFS, or other), when the input files are prepared by the process of the client, so that your load balancing program can immediately point the next free instance of the InDesign Server farm to the file. In this case, be prepared for some trial and error - high-speed file sharing can be tricky with files written on one side not yet visible or incomplete on the other side, locking problems, filename Unicode trouble, unexpected time and so on.

    BTW, there is also a forum of InDesign Server which would be more suitable for these discussions.

    Unfortunately, there is not a way to globally change the attribute VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN to VI_TRUE.  Talked with R & D ability to use registers and they say that it is not accessible through that.  To answer why this change was made so the developer who made the switch isn't around more I can not find his reasoning to explain.  The best to you in your code would be during initialization, use the node property VISA to make the change and until the closure of this VISA resource, this change will be the value that you assign the value.  I'm sorry, we cannot provide any other solution for these problems.  Also, if you feel that it is a heavy load on your programming practice you can certainly submit a product idea for the ability to change the overall values for default attributes VISA.
