• Cannot remove Datastore ESX 3.5

  Hi ESX veterans.

  I am a novice using ESX, and lately I just install ESX on a new Dell server, with 6 x 450 GB configured in a Raid 5 environment. I realized that once the ESX is complete, and VI client infrastructure is installed, there will be a default data store created using all available space with a block size of 1 MB.  In the latest installation of couple on older servers (which worked well), I simply remove the data store and to recreate another large block data store, so I can do a greater volume to install my OS.  But this time, I get this error:

  Configuring the host error: DestroyVmfsDatastore: cannot remove partition 2 on lun vmhba1:0:0

  I tried looked up the forums, but none seemed suggestion a resolution in my case.  (perhaps of persons using a SAN... etc, but the mine are internal HD from the server).  Some said that to do a re-scan, some have said go to maintenance mode, some said re - install all the ESX Server, which I've tried all.  But just can not remove this data store.  Acutally, I have not "mind leaving this one data store, as long as I can create a volume larger than 256 GB it contains.  Can anyone give me any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Hello Wingchan,

  I don't think so that you can delete the partition your ESX Server, which is the more necessary to partition VMFS. You can delete when you have several stored VMFS mounted on your ESX. I'm assuming that the... but not sure.

  However, since you have to change the size of the block. You can try the VMFSKTOOLS command to change the size of the block. Remember that you will lose all the systems of comments that uses this data store. Please move them to the secure location if necessary.

  I put a link here to how to change the size of the block. (not my blog, obtained through Google)

  To run this command, you must take the ESX Server console.

• Cannot remove datastore, said there are still two VMS that do not exist

  I move VM to my new cluster data store and as I release a DS I have delete and create new with VMFS5. I just emptied a data store but when I run the following command to PowerCLI or try to disassemble the DS it says two VM's on this same property that when I travel the DS DS it is empty.

  Get-datastore-name "DS_NAME | Get - vm | FT name

  How and why these two VMs say they are on two warehouses of data, even if a single DS is empty. I don't want to just delete the DS not knowing not if it would cause a problem with those VMs. When I look at the settings them of each virtual machine they show that they are on a data store, and not that I'm trying to delete.

  Any help is appreciated

  Please check if there is still a reference to this data store of any of the virtual machines (for example a file .iso mounted). If you have no VM with Active snapshots, where one of the snapshot has / has references in this data store, you will need to get rid of these clichés.

  Depending on the size of your environment, RVTools (http://www.robware.net/) can be very useful for a complete overview. It provides great insight, including the configuration of readers of virtual CD-ROM and their associate, .iso files as appropriate.

• Need help: cannot remove the snapshot - score 98% full

  I have a VM ~ 25GB that runs on my first VMWare Server for about a year. It's in a 30 GB partition, but at some point, a snapshot is created. I don't remember this, but I must have. I can't merge the snapshot using VMWare infrastructure Web Access; the option is not available. I don't see the snapshots by looking at the directory via SSH consle.

  I have another partion available is the same size.

  It is a production server and it seems that I need to deal with that immediately.

  I would like to apprecte suggestions or references to helop to solve me this problem.

  -Thank you,

  John

  removal of files inside the guest is contra-productive - it will enlarge only snapshots.

  Hmm - so you say version 2.0.2 also has this bug?

  So either copy the VM is much more big disk and use the shortcut function to remove a snapshot - or copy it to USB and plug this drive into a host Workstation with installed.

  Or - this would work as well with VMserver2...

  Add a second disk of the virtual machine - nominal size just a little more grand, then one you have now - in a Knoppix live CD boot and

  If DD \u003d/dev/sda of = / dev/sdb

  When the sda is the original disc and the DSP is the new

• Cannot remove SAN inactive datastore (control enabled storage IO)

  Hello

  I had a few SAN Datastore mounted on Vsphere ESXi 4.1 and we moved all the VMDK to the local data store to recreate a single data store. I forgot to remove Datastore before washing on SAN volumes, so they appear as "inactive". Cannot delete volumes because it shows error below

  call 'HostDataStoreSystem.RemoveDatastore' of object "datastoreSystem-104"on vCenter Server "xxxx" failed."

  Cannot remove datastore "XX_Vol1" because store I / 0 control is enabled on this subject. " Correct it and try the operation again.

  I know the storage i/o control is activated. I looked at the VMware KB which runs e/s storage disabled control to remove the volume. "When I tried to uncheck control IO, I another error 'datastore' isn't accessible.

  So I kind of know how I can disable the storage i/o control in order to remove inactive datastore.

  Would appreciate any help.

• Cannot remove data VMDK file store

  Hello

  I tried to solve a problem where we can't delete the 2 files hard below (since a ls - la in ssh)

  -rw - 1 root root 262144 Jul 31 13:55 2010 - 10 a-000001 - delta.vmdk

  I tried a rm without success:

  The virtual machine is more listed in VCentre (I tried to delete data store manager), I believe that files can be locked for a reason, but I don't know enough to determine whether it is safe to kill the s pid which seem to use the folder:

  You can restart the services... There will be no impact to the VMS running... also try to restart VMware vCenter services (services.msc)

  If the above does not work, then restart the host seems to be the fastest and the most secure option.

• Failure of power CLI remove Datastore

  The Installation of ESXi generates a "datastore1".

  It is possible to generate an additional data store named 'Datastore1' via PowerCLI.

  The name is keysensitive, because it is not possible to generate an additional "datastore1".

  I have the following problem:

  With CLI power, it is not possible to remove the Datastore1 or datastore1.

  the command remove-data store with the parameter of the data store name cannot remove the data store,

  with error: there is more than one object with the name 'datastore1 '.

  In this command, the name is not supported keysensitive.

  It is not possible to use the ID of the store of data as a parameter for the deletion.

  Anyone have an idea how I could handle this problem with Power CLI?

  Thanks for the help!

  Chris

  What you can do to remove a specific data store, is to use the operator - ceq PowerShell which performs a case-sensitive comparison. Something like:

  Get-Datastore | Where-Object { $_.Name -ceq "Datastore1" } | Remove-Datastore
  

  If you want to remove both you can do:

  Get-Datastore | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "Datastore1" } | Remove-Datastore

• Cannot remove an e-mail account - no under account settings removal tool

  Use Thunderbird 24.5.0. Not having only not under one account choice account delete option. I tried to delete an e-mail account, but cannot remove or delete it. I read your solution but no delete option in the drop-down list in the account settings. help lease

  How about you go to the Tools menu > modules and disabling the add-on!

  Not that I can find a "manually change the files' on the site of the add-on.

  I can find a manually records sort that does exactly what it says, but does not add and the columns you show. I can also find "additional folder columns" which aims to give your comments headers. The page Add on like the third picture shows a right click option or click to turn on the power on and off columns.

• Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

  When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

  Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

  Thank you all for your comments and help.
