• Gets the data store size

  Hello, I do not know if here is righ place to my question if not please tell me where I can post it.

  I am attemping the information on the data store size by CLI with order tracking.

  c:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin > vmkfstools.pl "C:\Prograare\VMware vSphere CLI\Perl\bin\perl.exe" - serve
  queryfs-/ vmfs/volumes/v7ksas17 - vihost jvelnx - vm01.tigre.in

  work of starts but he asks me user and password for the moment that I run.

  I want to move this authentication directly by the CLI only after "ENTER".

  Is it possible? How?

  Thank you

  If you use the vCLI under Windows, you can use the passthroughauth - assuming you connect in Windows system with the same credentials that you would login to your vSphere environment.

  If this isn't the case, you can also specify the user name and password by specifying it only on the same command:

  for example

  vmkfstools.pl - Server [VC] - queryfs/vmfs/volumes/v7ksas17 - vihost jvelnx - vm01.tigre.in - username [USER] - password [COL]

  Also, you can create a session file and then specify that, in this way, you don't need to have your credentials in clear text.

  You can take a look at the additional documentation by auth options here - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.getstart.doc_50%2Fcli_run_remote.5.3.html

• How to create the data store with multiple LUNS

• Maintenance of the data store: umount CF datastore?

  Hello.

  We have a cluster of ESX (vSphere 4) with several warehouses (NFS and Fibre Channel) accessible from all ESX hosts and want to perform maintenance on one of the CF data stores. We do not want to stop all the ESX Cluster, since some of the VMS are in production use. Thus, one of the ESX hosts must be running during maintenance of the data store, with the VMs in storage migrated to a NFS data store to market.

  So far, it's simple: VMotion and Storage VMotion can be used to achieve a situation where all important machines are on the good ESX host, with their storage on the NFS datastore. The ESX host with virtual machines without importance will be stopped (after their virtual machines, of course).

  The crucial question is: How can we we safely power down the data store FC for maintenance? We have to somehow disconnect, umount, or cancel the configuration of the data store CF on the ESX host running? Or is it just to turn off the CF data store?

  Concerning

  Dominik

  This is a VMware KB detailed maintenance with unpresenting a LUN from a host - http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015084 local put bare (using esxcli) host is necessary otherwise you will have a few interesting emails in your vmkernel logs

• Script in time of latency list vm e/s and the data store the virtual machine is on

  Hello.  We have a vsphere 5.0 environment and we live a latency of IO heavy.  I'm looking for powercli script will get the latency of i/o for each virtual machine and get the data store name, to what it is now.  We will access our storage on optical fiber.  I'm trying to get a good overview of the latency of IO in a nice view in a csv file.  I found what could be a good basis to https://communities.vmware.com/thread/304827?start=0 & tstart = 0 , but I'm not sure how to get the name of the data store in the table and I think that it is written to the nfs in any case storage.  Thanks in advance for any info\advice!

• Block size is too small - reformat the data store or create files VMDk 2?

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware and so far I absolutely love everything about her!  Well, I was not too happy when I realized that I can't create more than 256 GB a drive without reformatting the VMFS datastore.   Apparently, I accepted the block size of 1 MB by default during the installation...   I now need to configure a file server with about 500 GB of storage.  The data store with a larger block size (4 MB would be fine for me) reformatting is easy enough?  I am currently working on the first host ESXi 4.1 and will move to set up 2 more hosts in the coming weeks.  I read somewhere on the forum that ESXi 4.0 doesn't let you change the block size by default of 1 MB - is this true or relevant to 4.1?

  Currently, I have only 2 small VMs on that host, and these can be easily saved and put offline for a few hours, if necessary.  When starting the server, I created a single RAID array that holds ESXi and all virtual machines - does that mean that I have to reinstall ESXi in order to increase the size of the block?

  An alternative that I can get to is to simply create 2 255 GB VMDK each and load distribution of storage in the guest operating system (Win 2008).   Performance wise, is a disc more great and better (or worse) than the two smaller disks?

  On a related note, what should I choose for the "Independent" option when you add a new virtual disk?  Default is disabled (not independent).

  Your thoughts, focus and expertise are welcome and will be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks in advance,

  Dothan

  Dothan,

  You should power (after the virtual machine backup) remove the current data store and create a new one with the new block size. I did not have this on ESXi 4.1 again, however, he worked on ESXi 4.0.

  The maximum size of VMDK. If you want ot be able to take pictures, make sure you subtract twice the size of block in GB of the documented maximum size.

  Block size 1 MB--> 254 GB (= 256 GB, 2 GB)

  Block size of 2 MB--> 508 GB (= 512 GB - 4 GB)

  Size of block 4 MB--> GB 1 016 (= 1 024 GB - 8 GB)

  Block size of 8 MB--> GB 2 032 (= 2 048 GB to 16 GB)

  André

  EDIT: Just the KB for the maximum sizes. http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1012384

  If possible, can we use tri-objet with the names of virtual machine?

  Yes, just direct to Sort-Object

• How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

  Hello guys,.
  I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
  (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

  (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
  I need your help.
  Thanks in advance!

  With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

  var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
  If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
  System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
  Now put the new notes:
  Start by creating a context
  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  Update the annotation with the new value property
  configSpec.annotation = notes;
  launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
  NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
  var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

  And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

• Script to get VM list and count on the data store

  Hi all

  I have a script of lining that gives me the number of virtual machines on the data store, I was looking for both number of virtual machines more VM names too.

  Get-Datastore. Select Name, @{N = "NumVM"; E={@($_ | Get - VM). County}} | Sort name | Export-csv-path "C:\Users\userA\Desktop\Cluster_Host_Report\datastorevmcount.csv".

  the above script gives not only. or the number of virtual machines on the datastore in VC, can we get that all virtual machines are there on the VC data store.

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  The ForEach loop do not place anything on the pipeline, you can fix this with the call operator (and)

  & {{foreach ($ds in Get-data store)

  Get - VM - Datastore $ds |

• How can I get an alarm for VM in bad condition when you run lack of space on the data store

  Hello

  After ignoring the alarm messages on disk space used almost, a VM doesn't work with this error message:

  "Message from VMHost1.test.net: there is no more space for virtual disk.

  vmfs/volumes/4fb7ee7c-9c2aceee-a0df-00215acb6f4a/VMHost1/VMHost1_1_1.VMDK. You may be able to

  continue this session by freeing up disk space on the relevant volume, and then click Retry. Click Cancel to end this

  session. "

  At this point, I would like to have another alarm to ignore ;-)

  I'm trying to find a VMware alarm that can warn me in this case. (As the alarm 'use of data to drive store"set up to warn me when 90% is used)

  Basically, when the data store is full, and a virtual machine on it ask the e/s, due to the fact that it is thin provisioned, it is currently interrupted by ESXi. All virtual machines that do not require what I/O may still work. When this happens, you get an error like this:

  

  What the virtual machine that will come to you, is basically a VM Message. Using vCenter, you can create an alarm that goes off when the virtual machine (an individual) information message. The message that I used was something like this:

  

  When I then make a virtual machine on a data store set up thin, my alarm clock personalized using thin disks implemented short of space, was triggered.

  

  NB. I saw icon of the virtual machine in a State of alarm after that I clicked retry on the popup. If you don't do this, the virtual machine icon will be the State in question, but will always be triggered the custom alarm.

  Hope this helps,

  Tom
