• You can create a view that filters (ESX host) Linux machines on the view of the Infrastructure?

  Hello

  We have recently implemented Foglight and VMware plugin. As part of the VMware plugin, Foglight pulls in all the Linux VM machines including the ESX host. Our team of Linux only manages the running redhat Linux hosts. They fail the ESX VM guest. That said, is there a way to create a view that shows only the hosts running redhat Linux?

  For example the view of rail infrastructure below contains 88 Linux machines, but nearly half of them are ESX hosts for our Linux team would not see all these. Is it possible to filter these?

  

  Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Tony

  The easiest way would be to create a personalized, pair it with Infrastructure and then create a dynamic management component.  This will help create you a rule for "All hosts" where you can find just the hosts that are not of the ESX host and run Linux.

  The query would be:

  detail.topologyTypeName! = "VMWESXServer" & os.longName like «% Linux»

• How do I know what VMs running on an ESX host, at a given time?

  Is it possible to see running virtual machines on an ESX host at some point? We had a problem yesterday and I'd like to see what virtual machines have been affected by this problem.

  Since they have all been migrated around the cluster, I would like to know if there is an easy way to find this information somewhere. The host had to be removed from the cluster and readded later.

  You could highlight the container that VMS are in, and then select 'Tasks and events' (CTRL-SHIFT-E) to see the events of migration, but this will be a very manual process.

• How to add a new virtual machine to the ESX host using the existing files?

  I need to implement a function clone without the use of cloneVM_task. I copied (a special copy) a set existing VM Directory Active Directory to a new directory and renamed copied all files prefix name of the new direcotry.  What task VM (reconfigVM_task, createVM_task or registerVM_task) command can I use to add that the new copied VM on the ESX host? I need to manually update the .vmx for new UUID file and other parameters?

  Thanks for any help.

  I think that as long as you have updated all the names to reflect the new clone you must be fine and on the first step, you will be prompted with a question.

• 2 ESXi hosts... Nor can see each stores data to other hosts

  All, morning

  I have a little problem with a cluster of 2 servers ESXi 4.1.  They are connected to a VC and Enterprise Plus license.

  We have about 15 stores of data, called san01, san02,... san15.  ESXi hosts, we'll call it ESXi-01 an ESXi-02.  As I said - they are in an active HA with DRS cluster.  They are part of a disaster recovery test, we are performing.  For some reason, only the host on which each data store has been added (add storage, select LUNS, use the existing signature) can use this store.  It does not appear when a new analysis VMFS on another host (or automatically as it should).  If you try to import the same LUN to host opposed when it is already mapped to the one, the only available option is to reformat the partition, which is not good as there are a several machines on each Lun.

  So now I have a host with san2, 3, 5, 7 & 9 and all the others are on the other host.  Of course, they are unable to balance the load using vMotion & DRS.  It makes me crazy - any suggestions please?

  Just FYI, the hosts are the IBM HS22 blade, cards QLogic FC and the SAN is a unit of IBM XIV.  In our main site (live), we have a XIV with all LUNS alive and running on a cluster of 12 ESX4 host.  The data is replicated on the XIV in our disaster recovery site using the iSCSI Protocol and the links were broken between the 2 sites at the beginning of the excersise, allowing data replicated to our Dr site must be set to read/write and connected to hosts via FC.  Both hosts use the same configuration as the other and have the same drive mappings to the SAN.

  Look forward to hearing your ideas!

  Dave.

  As I understand it, the issue could be caused by the LUNS being recognized as LUN snapshot (see the ESXi host logs)

  In this case, you could try to force mount the LUNS. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387

• Where can I see the number of pages in a document I created

  Hello

  I don't know why I can't find the answer to this question via google or the Help menu, but it's here:

  In word, you can see the number of pages (and the page you) in the menu bar below for example... page 5 of 50 (15,000 words). This is not in the printed document - it's like the management role. Is there an equivalent of this information in the Pages?

  Hi Chameleon.

  On the left of the menu bar is a button in the view. Choose the number of words to show.

  

  This will appear at the bottom of the Pages window:

  

  Choose a view:

  

  See "number of Pages" Page, it seems that you need to put this information in a header or a footer (Insert menu).

• Not able to see the number of applications on SO-> extra line information

  Hello
  
  I'm on R12.1.2.
  
  I created an internal application that turned into an internal sales order.
  
  When I am questioning orders and goes to the lines-> extra line-> Applications tab information, I am able to see the command line information, but the requisition number is not posting.
  
  I think that in previous versions, I was able to see the number of applications and information in line while in R12, its only showing me command line information. Strange!
  
  Any idea on this feature / problem?
  
  With respect,

  Hello
  You can see the number of requisition and the line in the line of SO main tab itself. Check if you see the "Order reference Source" field and order line reference Source "on the main line tab.

• How do I rescan fiber channel without having to reboot host

  Hello

  I have a few questions regarding the removal of LUNS and vmotion.  My first question is that I can't seem to be able to delete a LUN in vsphere client 5.  I get the error message but I think it's because guests can still see the LUN.  I unpresented this LUN in command mode and deleted.  Now in vsphere client, the logic unit number shows idle and when I do a new scan task's not going anywhere.  It seems that the host cannot see that LUN more and is having a heart attack.  The worst is that vmotion does not work when this happens.  So to fix this I had to reboot the esx host.  Once the host is back online this LUN disappeared and vmotion works again.

  Now my problem is that I have 32 esx host and I don't want to have to restart all the and the fact that vmontion does not work I can not migrate the virtual machine between hosts.  Is there a way to force guests to rescan the channels fiber so that they will not see the deleted LUN more or is there another solution for this?

  Thanks in advance

  It sounds as if you did not remove the VMFS datastore before unpresenting/remove the logic unit number!

  There are different as KB to remove a datasbase in vCenter Server data store, but those who are for v4.x and I'm not sure if they apply to the v5.0 as well (e.g. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1026661) maybe a restart of management on hosts agents will cancel the deleted LUN, have you tried this already?

• The Oracle trace: number of physical reads of the signifier of disk buffer

  Hi all

  
  Since yesterday, I was under the impression that, in a trace file Oracle, the "number of physical buffer of disk reads" should be reflected in the wait events section.

  Yesterday we add this trace file (Oracle 11 g 2):

  call the query of disc elapsed to cpu count current lines

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

  Parse        1      0.00       0.00          0          0          0           0

  Run 1 0.04 0.02 0 87 0 0

  Get 9 1.96 7.81 65957 174756 0 873

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

  total 11 2.01 7.84 65957 174843 0 873

  Elapsed time are waiting on the following events:

  Event waited on times max wait for the Total WHEREAS

  ----------------------------------------   Waited  ----------  ------------

  SQL * Net message to client 9 0.00 0.00

  reliable message 1 0.00 0.00

  ENQ: KO - checkpoint fast object 1 0.00 0.00

  direct path read 5074 0.05 5,88

  SQL * Net more data to the customer 5 0.00 0.00

  SQL * Net client message 9 0.01 0.00

  ********************************************************************************

  We can see that the 65957 physical disk reads resulted only 5074 direct path read. Normally, the number of physical reads from disk is more directly reflected in the wait events section.

  Is this normal? Why is that? Maybe because these discs are on a San have a cache?

  Best regards.

• How to remove a VM inventory in vcentre when the host is down

  Hi guys,.

  We had a power outage today where one of our physical ESX host is dead (we have 2 VM cluster hosts).  HA/DRS unfortunately does not work as there are insufficient resources to automatically migrate the virtual machines on the host failed through to the host remaining (another separate question that I will not here address)

  when the hsot went down, virtual machines have been left in the market, but were in a disconnected state (see table).  I read that you can reallocate virtual machines to another host by 'navigate to the data store and do a right-click on the vmx file and click Add to inventory and select the host. " (Ref: ) http://communities.VMware.com/thread/173314 )

  However when I browse to the data store, the option 'Add to inventory' has also dimmed.  I suspect (Please confirm) that he wwas because the virtual machine in question was still at the "running" State  problematic, because that disconnected/running state, I could not close it out vcentre gui (or console, as host was dead)

  can someone tell me how - if possible - can I migrate the virtual machine to another host, while in the situation described above?

  If this is not possible for future situations where the host is lost, I would be better together virtual machine to stop? (this would allow me to reassign the vms can?)

  see you soon

  The virtual machine will remain in the host inventory and disappear once you remove the host to vCenter inventory. What you then do - at least that's what I would probably - to be able again to power on virtual machines is to register the virtual machine to other hosts on the server vCenter Server (click right the VM .vmx file and choose 'Add to inventory')-after the correction of the host and before adding it again to vCenter Server - connect directly to this host and then delete the virtual machine already 'moved' from his inventory.

  What you need to do after registration of VM for other hosts is to check the VM based backup applications (if used), because the virtual machine will receive new ID.

• How LUNS presented to an ESX host

  Dear team,

  How to confirm weather LUN is presented to an ESX host?

  We asked our team to SAN map a 900 GB LUN to one of the esx host, these people have done enough for their purpose (e.g. zoning part etc.) and confirm the same thing for us. We rescan the HBA, still, we are not able to see the same thing. SAN team asked us to reboot and check, but it's prodcurion esx box we will not be able to restart, so I want to confirm end VMware, is it possible to confirm weather esx is able to perceive the lun or the requested LUN is delivered correctly to an esx host, needs your help to understand this issue.
