Good way to delete a data store

I'm not sure this is the right forumr for my question. If not, can someone please point me to the right one?

I need to remove two LUNS on a storage (HP LeftHand).

The lun host 2 warehouses of data used by a 5.5 vSphere cluster composed of 3 5.5 U2 ESXi servers.

I have to perform the activity during execution of virtual machines and I can not create any problem or performance for VMS running problem.

So I need to create a checklist as accurate and complete as possible...

Here's my Checklist:

  • I removed all the VMS since data warehouses
  • I deleted all the files from data warehouses
  • I removed data warehouses from the list of data used by pulsation HA stores
  • I checked that the sacratchconfig. ConfiguredScratchLocation for each node indicates a different datadtore of those that I am giung to remove

Can I safely remove the files inside the folder .vSphere-HA?
Should what else you check before removing the data store?

Is there anything else I should consider?

For well detach and remove datatores take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004605.

In fact, there is nothing which will cause problems. If you try to take it apart (or delete) a data store it will work either (if anything accesses the database), or you receive an error/warning message. Once a datatore is disassembled or deleted, you must detach the LUNS for each host, and - after unpresenting a LUN of Lefthand CMC and run a new analysis on the hosts - you can do the cleaning (esxcli storage core detached unit remove d NAA_ID) on the hosts.

  • Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

    Hello

    I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

    Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

    Greg ~.

    If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

    I have re-iterate below checks:

    -No virtual machine is in the data store

    -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

    -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

    -IGCS is disabled for this data store

    -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

    Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store

  • Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    Our planning cubes become too big with 5 years of forecasting and budgeting data.

    Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    How you guys do it?

    I know a simple way is easy make a copy planning essbase cubes.  However, is there text, attachments and support details, these will be lost unless there is a way to archive a RDBMS repository data for planning.  Even in this case - all links and hooks of the Essbase cubes in these RDBMS repository will be broken.

    The old fashion method is to print all reports in PDF and archiving.

    Given that the plan changes every month, reprocess you history until you check in?

    Thanks for your advice.

    This can be done in 2 ways...

    1. just make a copy of the old 'DATA' in text file or another essbase cube history. Clear only the historical data for the current application. This will keep other information as text in the intact cell. In case the user wants to refer to the old texts/support cell details they can do by going directly into the application and for part of data, they can look in old PDF report.

    2. a copy of the planning application to create a copy of the current request. Keep all old data, text etc in old app of cells. All previous reports also point this app. Then erase current app and can be simply provide read access to older data App users can be trained to use older applications for all historical data and current app for existing budgets. Also this app can be used during the period of archiving all data.

  • Way to delete a data file

    Version: 11.2.0.2
    Platform: AIX 6.1

    My first post on this has been moved by someone from the community of ASM. I deleted this post and I post it here.

    Our tablespace application ran out of space, and we had no free space left in our system of data files. We had little space left in the file system for archiving logs. Because it was urgent, I added a file of 10 GB data to this tablespace BUT in the files system to archive logs. The next day, administrators added system space to our system of data files. Now, we have enough space in the data files system and we want to move the data file mentioned above for the file system to store the data files.

    The data file resides in the archive disk group
    /ltmprod_arch/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf
    I want to delete the data above and add it in the file system for the data: /ltmprod_data
    /ltmprod_data/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf
    What is the cleanest way to do this?

    Removed the word disk group

    This can be done without a DB downtime. But the tablespace must be taken offline

    Step1. Take the tablespace offline
    ALTER TABLESPACE yourtbs OFFLINE ;
    
    Step2. Take a bkp of the datafile and move to the new location
    mv /ltmprod_arch/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf /ltmprod_data/LTMPROD/
    
    step3.
    ALTER TABLESPACE yourtbs RENAME DATAFILE '/ltmprod_arch/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf' to '/ltmprod_data/LTMPROD/cmdata07.dbf';

    In v2.5, I must click on remove datastore, she thinks for a few minutes and then remove the data of all servers store.

    In version 4.0, I clicked on delete, and it has only removed from a host. Instead of be connected to 8 hosts than before it was presented as connected to 7 guests.  (it should not be connected to all guests!).

  • Good way to expose tabular data?

    Hi all

    Consider the following:

    http://joshbeall.com/personal/donation_detailview.PNG

    The data here are displayed in a table. Two columns, the left column indicating the name of the field, and the right column shows the data for this field.

    In HTML, it's pretty easy to do with a table. That's what a table has been designed for (covering tabular data). In Flex, what is the appropriate way to do so? I considered the DataGrid, but it is really designed to show several records, with a horizontal layout (header line, with one additional line per file). What I want is to display only a single record, with one row for each field in the result set.

    What is the way to Flex for data like this? I am a newcomer to Flex (ASP.NET fact for the last 2 years), and I am aware that this is very much a matter of beginner.

    -Josh

    Try the grid pane. You will find in the "Layout" of the tree of the component folder.

  • WAY TO DELETE EXISTING DATA EITHER

    Hi all

    I still need your support.

    I need to check some RECORD written in a table and I need to have even those that do not exist (which are then deleted in the past)

    example:

    I have run the select statement

    Select jobname, script

    FROM table1

    where (script like '% script1.sh%' or as '% script2.sh%' script or script like '% script3.sh%' or script as '% script4.sh%' or as '% script5.sh%');

    JOB2 script2.sh

    JOB3 script3.sh

    I don't know how to make sure that the result of the query, which is written script4, script5 does not exist.

    Basically I want a result like this:

    JOBNAME SCRIPT RESULT

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

    JOB1 script1.sh

    JOB2 script2.sh

    Is it possible to delete a data store shared a host, without actually deleting content?

    If there are several hosts who share a store of data and for some reason any I delete the data of one of them, store connection can I do this without a deletion of all the virtual machines on the data store, as shown in the warning above?

    You can delete single LUN on the side storage (for example by hiding the it).

    Before that... do not forget that without virtual machines are running on it.

    After that... do a rescan storage adapters.

    This will happen if your join filter/condition is specified only on 2 tables and 1 of them is deleted.

  • How to remove an extension of data store (while keeping the files)?

    Hello world

    I am looking for a way to move/delete an extension of my single data store. My data store consists of 2 extends from ~ 150 GB each. The data on this subject would be inserted in the Go ~ 150 remaining.

    Is this possible? If yes how? ESXi automatically rearrange the data to avoid losing data while dropping an extension?

    Thank you

    Robert

    It is not possible to remove a measure and keep the original data store.  You must move your data, delete the data store and then re-create.

    If you look at your second screenshot, you will notice that there is another partition on this 'device' - a 4 GB FAT32 partition. This will be served when you created the data store VMFS5 on this unit you would have been asked a question to see if "free use of space" or "use all available partitions. It would be I think the choice was 'space free use '. What this meant was that the existing partition format would have been kept was that due to the FAT32 partition MBR.

    When the VMFS5 data store was created he could not convert the format of partition a GPT device that allows for the storage of data greater than 2 TB in size and is the reason why you can't currently develop it use the extra space.

    Solution: Move all the virtual machines in this data store, and then delete the data store and recreate ensuring "Use all available partitions" option is selected. Once completed, migrate virtual back machines.

    NOTE: This step is destructive, so make sure you have all the virtual machines on the data store, and anything else is stored before proceeding. This includes VMs that have been deleted inventory or ISOs stored.

    Hope this helps,

  • Can I remove this data store?

    Hello guys,.

    I free up space in a storage, and for that to work correctly, I followed the following steps:

    1. I created a new data store in other containers for storage.

    2 - I did a migration of storage of the old data store to the new.

    3 - remove the old VMDATA.

    At this point, I glued, because the old data store is not empty... West a strange folder inside, but I don't know if I can remove it, as you can see in the image below.

    The question is: can I remove this data store? The showing on the photo, UID is the same UID of the LUN I want deleted.

    I use VMWARE ESXi 5.1 Enterprise Edition Plus.

    files and folder in dotted lines are normally for the metadata of the data store itself.

    so, you can delete the data without any problem store.

    BTW. If you delete a data store and it is still used by a virtual machine the delet-job will be cancelled. There is a small security bit set
