• local storage in the data store

  I have 4 ESXi 5.5 cluster nodes (host1, 2... 5) + 3par storage, I noticed that the local drive of host2 is detected as a data store.

  When I create a VM and I choose the data store, I can see all data related to my on3par LUN stores but it seems this drive local host2 too!

  I would like to remove it! Can you offer me please?

  You must hide hide this data store using permissions, you must run the following procedure: Open-> inventory-> warehouses vSphere-> select the select data-> permissions VMFS store-> click the user or group in the list and set them to 'No access' - are not propagated.

  Once achieve you its judgment showing everywhere.

• Machine virtual IOPS / s report, how to display the name of the data store?

  Hi guys

  I am new to the Foglight community, this is a great tool, and I learn a lot.

  Currently I am trying to create a simple table that will show me metric of my VMware environment: Virtual Machine name, Datastore IOPS and data store.

  However I can't find how to include data store name in the table, because it is not a measure of the Virtual Machine. I think I need to expand the scope of my table to include VMware Datastore, but I don't know how to do this.

  -Mark

  

  Check the options available it seems that it can be done with WCF (the frame behind the Foglight dashboards).  We recommend generally customers who plan to build views WCF take adequate training or our PSO people engaged in it.

  In any case I can help show a quick example of how it's done.

  Please try this on a local/test server.

  Go to Configuration > definition >

  

  Make sure that you are in my definition, and click the icon to add a view. then choose from the tables and trees - oriented line table

  

  Give a name to the view, go public and make a portlet/reportlet and apply

  

  Switch to the configuration tab and click the change for the lines and choose a query

  Under query, expand the VMware and scroll down

  

  Until you can select the query for virtual machines

  

  And press the set button.

  Your view should look like this

  

  Now you must select the columns.

  Each column has a value you can edit and there is a button + to add additional columns.

  Lets start with the name of the virtual machine - click on the button to change to your default column and choose the context.

  

  Click on the drop down menu to enter key and choose the current line (virtual vmware machine)

  

  Click on the drop down menu to access path and scroll down until you can select the name and then click on set.

  

  You have created a table that lists the names of all virtual machines.

  You can click on save. and then click test, choose a time and click the result. A new window will open a show the list you of virtual machines.
  From here you can continue to add additional columns, each time choosing the key entry in the current line and the path to the metric/string to display.

  For example, the name of the data store.
  I change the module

  

  Click the configuration tab and click the icon to add a column

  

  For the column value, that I chose defined context once again, the key input is the current row and for the path, I expand the node for the data store

  

  And scroll until I see the Proprietename

  

  If you save and test you will see the result

  

  Keep adding columns and the data you want, notice that you have arrows that allow you to control the order of the columns.

  Note that you can click Show advanced configuration properties

  

  This will give you the opportunity to see the properties of the extra table, such as header - giving you the opportunity to give a more meaningful name (name of the data store, the name of the virtual machine, etc.) to the column header.

  

  You can now go you drag and drop the table edge/report and under my eyes, you will see your new view

  

  Drop it in the main view

  

  I hope this has given you the starting point to build this table.

  As I said, I strongly recommend going through our WCF training if you plan build more custom views or hire software Dell PSO Organisation to help build you views that correspond to your need.

• alleged connection to the data store local preventing vmotion

  I have a VM that signals a connection to the local data store on its host, and therefore can't do vMotion elsewhere.  The virtual machine has two virtual drives, which are both on a SAN storage.  The virtual machine has been previously connected to an ISO on the local data store, but it has since been replaced by client device.  He always insists that he's using something on this data store, however.  I've looked through the vmx file and don't see any reference to it.  I also tried to remove the data store, but he claims that the file system is in use.  The hosts have been recently updated to esxi 6.0 U2, and it's the only VM that now seems this behavior.  Any suggestions on what could be the cause?  It is a server important enough in this environment, and be locked into a single host makes me a little anxious.

  Turns out it was because of an old cliché.  If you get an ISO from a data store and take a snapshot, the virtual machine will keep a link to that store of data even after changing the client machine.  As soon as you delete the snapshot, this relationship goes, and access to this database is therefore more a review when searching valid hosts.

• Please help: measure is missing from the data store

  Hello

  I have an a 20 TB drive data store and a magnitude of about 40 TB (local disks, areca raid controller).

  Thank you!

  Hello
  You asked for instructions on how to readd a missing measure.
  Basically, it's pretty easy:
  in the VMFS to VMFS-based volume header section, you can assign extends it.
  Lets say that the basic volume is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T3:L0:1
  first of all extend is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T4:L0:1
  second extension is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T5:L0:1
  Then you will see this string in the VMFS header:
  vmhba1:3:0
  and a little later

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T3:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T4:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T5:l0:1
  Just change the list of stretches.
  But: normally you can't change this section at all, and to add to the confusion, these values are stored in RAM is not trivial to change this value correctly.
  I highly recommend that instead of try it yourself and repeat all the mistakes I made while learning it - call me.
  I rather help you personally to give dangerous advice that will probably make things worse.

• Do we know how the data store is filled

  We do not know how the data store is filled, ran put space, is there a tool or a way to get the report how the data store is filled.

  1. go to the data store--> select storage views--> then apply different filters to see DS space utlization by VMs, instant.

  2. enable ssh esxi host and log in with the username/password of root and orders below

  #cd vmfs/volumes /.

  #du-sh *.

  This will list all the files/dir on this data store and its size in GB.

  3. or you can use DS to take a quick look at what.

  Thank you

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  Configuration:

  -HP Proliant Microserver N40L

  -HP Smart Array P410/512 MB BBWC, FW 3.66 Controller

  -4 x 2 TB as a Raid5

  HP-ESXi - 5.5.0 - iso - 5.72 A

  I read a lot of articles on > limits of 2 TB of older versions of ESXi or controllers, limitation of 4 TB of c# vSphere Client, old firmware and esxi driver problems, etc.

  But I could not understand the problem.

  The P410 controller shows 5.5 TB:

  ~ # esxcli hpssacli cmd - q "controller connector = 1 see the config.

  Smart Array P410 in slot 1 (sn: PACCRID110510NR)

  then 2I:0:5 (port 2I:box 0:bay 5, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  then 2I:0:6 (port 2I:box 0:bay 6, SATA, 2 TB, OK)

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• VM attached to the data store, but not in the config

  I have a few virtual machines that show that they are attached to a store data, but when you look at the parameters of the client both in the vmx file there is nothing that refers to this data store.  And, to top it off, the data store is just a deposit of file I only download iso files to mount for CD-ROMs.  I have made sure that the iso is not mounted on the machine (of course) and have paid through any other part of the config, but still it shows attached to that store of data, by the customer and by a powercli script.

  When you browse the data store, there is no folders or files on there that refer to this virtual machine.  I have about 10 machines all in this difficult situation.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  VM snapshots come with a .iso mounted for them? If so, that would explain it...

  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.

• Snapshots on the data store

  I am struck the problem on one of my virtual machines.

  When I navigate directly to the data store, I can see instant scraps, but they do not appear in the Snapshot Manager. Consolidation complete but makes no difference. Any idea on how to remove them?

  If the hard disk of the virtual machine seen by changing the parameters runs on a flat snapshot, then the VM vmname - 00000 x hard always runs on a snapshot. Otherwise, it could be a file of rest.

• List of virtual machines in the data store that is not in stock

  Hi guys

  PowerCLI rookie here, sorry for the stupid questions.

  I'm trying to clean up a bunch of singehost with local data warehouses. So I need a script that can display a list of files of virtual machine on a data store that is not used by VMs in the inventory. One of the problems is that the files on the data store, isn't every means, named exactly the same as the virtual machine in the inventory.

  http://www.wooditwork.com/2011/08/11/adding-VMX-files-to-vCenter-inventory-with-PowerCLI-gets-even-easier/

  Any tips or hints to push me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Please try:

  $AllFilesLocalDatastore = get-data store 'localdatastorename ' | Get-fileindatastore

  $FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs = get-FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs

  #The two functions above are available here http://thecrazyconsultant.com/find-orphaned-vmdk-files-workflow/

  Check the contents of the two variables for example with VGO or export-csv

  $AllFilesInESX01LocalDatastore | OGV

  Try:

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM = $AllFilesLocalDatastore | {foreach-object

  $FullPath = $_. FullPath

  If ($FilesIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAllVMs.FileName - notcontains $FullPath) {}

  Return $_

  }

  }

  $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | OGV

  #The over a will contain all the files that are not identified as associated with any virtual computer

  $ProbablyOrphanedFiles = $FilesNotIdentifiedAsAssociatedToAnyVM | where {$_.} FileTypeFullName-match "VMware.Vim.Vm *"-GOLD ($_.) FileTypeFullName - eq "VMware.Vim.FileInfo" - AND ($_.) FullPath-match ".vmsd" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vmxf" - or $_. FullPath-match "aux.xml" - or $_. FullPath-match ".vswp" - GOLD ($_.) FullPath-match "hard" - AND $_. FullPath - notmatch 'ctk.vmdk') - GOLD ($_.) FullPath-match ".vmx" - AND $_. FullPath - notmatch ".vmx ~"- AND $_. FullPath - notmatch "." VMX.lck")))}

  $ProbablyOrphanedFiles | OGV

  Edit:

  Changed the name of the data store, it seems that he was not supposed to be in the first screenshot.

  Edit2:
  The first command control switch, more details in the last post in this thread

• Install centos6.4 of the data store

  Hello

  Does anyone know how can I install centos 6.4 on vm. I have the file iso centos on centos6.4_2.iso and vmware server /vmfs/volumes/isos/centos6.4_1.iso

  I selected vm - material - cd/dvd-> iso datastore stressed the centos6.4 - 1.ISO, then connect to option is under

  When I start the VM in a single step, he asks where is the binary located [cd/dvd, nfs, hard drive mounting and url] how can I tell the virtual machine it needs to install from the data store [which is on vmware server 5.x]

  -Sagar

  Hello

  during the installation process will be o.s. installed from cd/DVD, as in the physical environment and it is not necessary specify a data store location. I think you may have an invalid ISO. Check its integrity...

• 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 |

  Select Name,

  @{N = "Datastore"; E = {$ds. Name}},

  @{N = "VM on the data store"; E = {$ds. ExtensionData.Vm.Count}}

  }} | Export Csv report.csv - NoTypeInformation - UseCulture
