Host - HA Cluster failure & file locking

Hello

In a HA cluster, if the failure of a host (loses power or something similar) how are the locks on files on a virtual machine that was running this particular host published so that another host in the cluster HA can start? I know that if a host finds that as isolated, it releases the file locks, but what happens in case of failure?

Thank you

Steve

Blockage in a shared storage have a waiting period of I think 15 seconds. Direct receipt is refreshing the lock so the other guests cannot claim locked object. When the host fails the lock expires and can be requested by another host in a cluster.

    #Enter which cluster the locked file is within
    $cluster = Read-Host "Enter Cluster"
    #Enter MAC Address of host
    $mac = Read-Host "Enter desired MAC (AABBCCXXYYZZ format)"

    disconnect-viserver VC -confirm:$false
    

    Note that I've changed numbers based on insertion so that it places ":" in the right place. Give it a try and then how it's happening.

  • After cancellation of Vista all the files locked by TrueSuite

    A while back, I drove back into Windows Vista to an earlier date and thus all my files locked by TrueSuite became corrupted and I can't open them, move, delete, etc.
    I tried to remove it from the command prompt, but that no longer works.

    Is there a way I can remove it?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    Have you tried to delete these files once the TrueSuite has been uninstalled?
    I think that it s worth a try.
    Remove the TrueSuite of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the BONES and the registry using the CCleaner and reboot the laptop again.
    Then check if the locked files can be deleted again.

  • How to restore the hosts back to normal file

    "I edited my file hosts with the notebook with the extension".txt ". However, I can't edit my file hosts its original file extension name, which has no name. To change my hosts file to open it with Notepad, the name of the file extension ".txt" has disappeared and I can't change my hosts back to normal file.

    This means that my modified hosts file has no effect... How can I fix it?

  • file locking program

    can you suggest a program of microsoft authorized file locking?

    HI Jeffrey,.

    Microsoft has no any program to lock the single files, but you can protect your files using BitLocker Drive encryption.

    You can use the drive encryption BitLocker to protect all files stored on the drive Windows is installed on (operating system drive) and on data drives (for example, internal hard drives). You can use BitLocker to go to help protect all files stored on removable data drives (such as external hard drives or USB flash drives).

    For file locking program more, I suggest you use your favorite search engine and check if that helps.

  • Cannot delete files locked in the temp folder

    I emptied regularly delete all files in the temp via the function folder in the Tools menu of IE9 and also by searching on folder and deleting the contents of the temporary Local AppData file in the users folder.

    Ten days ago, I found there are some files in the folder temporary AppData that were locked and could not be removed. This only happens in a user account, and this isn't an administrator account. Opening of properties on any of the files by checking the Security tab, I find I am wierdly the sole owner of the file, but have limited permissions. I tried to change the permissions to get total control and then remove the file, but that did not work, nor has anything else I could think of. This included the stop of all open applications and disconnects all users.

    Other file properties:

    -Open with "Windows Shell Commo" - little matter that is.

    -Similar names to ~ DF38C18158B32C1039. TMP

    -Attributes: ATI

    -The size is small (512 bytes, for example)

    -No previous versions

    Normally the files in this folder have names like this except without the ~.

    After having in vain tried everything I could think of to delete these files, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller, who managed to remove all the files locked in the record at the time.  However, the problem resurfaced shortly after and this time Revo Uninstaller did not work.

    I spent a few days of research on the net and try different options without success until I stumbled on a recommendation to go into Control Panel, search for Java, open its settings menu and refuse authorisation for Java to back up the data on my computer.  It worked - I went back in the folder, the files were no longer locked, I was able to remove them as I usually do and I had no other problems with the locked files. Until yesterday.

    I double-checked the settings of Java to ensure that authorization still denied to save data on my computer. I don't remember now if I set permission to refuse when I checked again. I tried then to Revo Uninstaller again, but he failed again to remove these files locked. I noticed today that the date for all files is last July 15.  It seems (so far) no new files have been generated, but I still cannot delete locked files 51 of my computer.  My biggest concern, obviously, is security.  I don't want to locked files including origins, functions and activities that I do nothing on my computer, especially if I'm unable to remove them.

    I want to know how to remove these files, what caused do them appear in the first place and how to prevent them from happening again.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for this suggestion, Oberwald. It came a little too late, however.  Finally, it occurred to me to try my anti-virus software file shredder function and he managed to remove the locked files.

    I believe now these locked files were likely due to some kind of malware - after shredding, my desktop Recycle bin flashed repeatedly icon when I shut down the computer. Also, after have logged you in today, I find everything runs much faster and no sign of keylogging.  Seem to be back to normal.

    I was able to save the link and it will try in the future if necessary.

    Thanks again!

  • Number of hosts per cluster limit VMFS

    I can't find a decent answer to this question.  In versions, earlier we are limited to 8 hosts per cluster when using VMFS data with view warehouses.  All this changed with the advent of vSphere 5.5 or 6 view Horizon?  Looking at a bunch of documentation, I see that in vSphere specifications 5.1, it says "32 hosts (VMFS + NFS).  However, in the specifications of vSphere 5.5, he States '32 hosts', with not the Tag-Along "VMFS + NFS".

  • Remove host vCenter (cluster)

    I need to remove hosts in cluster 1 vCenter inventory (completely / permanently), then add them to the inventory of an another vCenter.  It is for reasons of SRM-prep (fyi as to why I'm doing this in the first place).

    Is it possible (in charge) to Remove a host cluster (and its virtual machines) among a vCenter inventory given WITHOUT putting it in Maintenance Mode first, then withdrawal?  Reasoning is that the cluster in question has only 2 hosts and I don't want to host rest having to run all the virtual machines (or I want to stop the virtual machines).

    In the end, I need a way to REMOVE (from first vCenter) 2 hosts in cluster, so they will be briefly/temporarily independent/no managed until you add the second vCenter.

    Wait - I just thought to / tested something that seems to do the trick (?) --

    ' 1. ' disconnect ' the first vCenter host cluster.
    2. once in a disconnected state, right-click and 'delete '.  This frees licenses, etc. and basically makes the host "unmanaged" until added to vCenter another yet, but retains all of its VMS running etc and has no ill side effects-, or so it seems.

    If the "Disconnect" approach is real/valid, this goes against my training/point of 'classic' view that a host given-in order to be removed from a cluster or even more, vCenter himself-MUST be put in first to leave maintenance mode.

    Thoughts/confirmation/warnings?

    the disconnection and removal works perfectly.  The virtual machine will continue to function.  Once independent, "add host" in your new environment.
