How to add a logic unit with an existing data store number

I have a logic unit number I replicated from a SAN at a data center in a SAN to another data center. I want to map this LUN to a cluster of ESX 4 and use the store of existing data on the LUN to recover the virtual machines it contains. What is the best way to do it? Guests will see the existing data store, when I rescan HBAS or y at - it a trick to add a data store existing cluster?

It's a separate LUN on a different SAN mapped to another set of hosts. Once I have a new analysis for the new LUNS and data warehouses, store data on this LUN will display in the list of data stores to then browse data warehouses and register virtual machines on it?  Or still do I add storage and first select the existing data store?

Given that the hosts did not see the original LUN before, the data store should appear just after the new analysis.

  • How do to convert the string (with the Hex data) in number?

    Hello

    I use TestStand 3.5 to automate a few test cases associated with boot loader.

    The requirement is that I need to read the value in some places for specific address. The values of these addresses are stored in a hexadecimal format.

    We have a step customized in TestStand through which we can read these values by address, but she returns as the type "String".

    For example, the value to 0 x 0000008 is 000001 B 2, and he returned in Locals.Value_Read as "000001 B 2" in the string.

    Is it possible, I can convert the string "000001 B 2" to a number?

    I tried to use the function-> val (locals. Value_Read), but it is return 0 as TestStand figures that the input string is not representing the valid number.

    Please help me with this.

    Thank you and best regards,

    Niraj.

    Try: Val ("0 x" + Locals.Value_Read)

  • How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

    Hey guys -.

    I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

    On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

    Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

    I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

    Thanks for the help.

  • How to add the new page with the new preferences marginal?

    Hello

    can someone tell me? How to add new page with specific preferences marginal? is it possible to add the margin setting when adding page?

    Part of engineering substances comes with Google when necessary. (I think)

    nt-considered-harmful http://blog.boyet.com/blog/javascriptlessons/javascript-for-c-programmers-the-with-stateme / ... and much more can be found "with statement considered as harmful.

    There is nothing wrong with the definition of the properties on one line, except that it becomes progressively harder to read, understand, maintain, and update:

    myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myLastPage = myDoc.pages.add(LocationOptions.AT_END, undefined, {marginPreferences:{bottom:"6p", left:"6p", right:"4p", top:"4p"} });
    

    Note that since you are using "LocationOptions.AT_END", you don't have to use a reference to any page. This is only necessary when you want to insert a page anywhere except at the end or the beginning.

  • How to add the primary key for the table with the existing data?

    The table is already busy data. There was no primary key before, so for each column, there are some duplicate values.

    I want to add a new column, which should be of the integer data type and can automatically incremented, from 001. I tried with Oracle SQL Developer, but it says "ORA-01758: table must be empty to add mandatory (NOT NULL) column. How can I do? Thank you!

  • I must be stupid - how can I add 2 additional 2 TB SATA as data store drive?

    I feel that I must be missing something super clear here.

    I assembled just a new PC, and after that discover ESXi 5.0 did not like the built-in NETWORK interface, I tracked down a compatible Realtek that seems to work. The PC has (2) 2 TB SATA drives. I was hoping their band via RAID initially, but still less discovered the RAID config 2 separate disks were ultimately presented to ESXi 5.0 installer (both drives were listed for me to choose where I wanted to install ESXi). Since I couldn't take advantage of RAID, I removed the RAID configuration and disabled in the BIOS, so the two disks were completely independent one from the other. Then I launched the installer ESXi got 2 discs to choose once again and installed on the first disc.

    Now I have ESXi 5.0 to the top and running and can properly control it from another PC with vSphere and get a virtual machine. The thing I can't for the life of understand me is, it lists only a 2 TB disk in data warehouses (I guess it's the drive I installed ESXi, but maybe I'm wrong and this is the other), and I can't understand how to add in the second disk as an additional data store. Should she just automatically appear under the section of the data store, or is there something special I need to do on the drive for what he stand? Out of curiosity, I put a 8 GB USB stick, just to see if it showed as a data store and the same thing... nothing listed. This makes me think there is a formatting or its initialization or whatever method to do a disk to use as a data store.

    I was hunting around trying to find an ESXi 5.0 user guide that may have a 'data warehouses 101' section, but I am unable to find a guide 5.0.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Do not hesitate to make fun of me, if it comes to ESXi 101 stuff - I don't have a ton of experience with the product... ;-)

    Just in case you missed it. Go to the configuration tab in the vSphere Client. Choose the storage and to add and then disk/LUN you should now be able to choose the second disc.

  • Add PS6110 with the existing data to the existing group

    Hello world

    Is it possible to add a PS6110 with the existing volumes and connections to an existing uninterrupted group iSCSI?

    Thank you!

    Sven

    Hello Sven,

    No sorry.  There is no possibility of group "fusion".  In addition, discovery addresses are different for servers must be updated.

    If you have enough space, you can migrate the data to a group.  I.e. through Storage vMotion from VMware, then reset the released members and add it to the group.

    Any solution you are looking for will be based on the host.

    Kind regards

  • How do divide you a virtual machine between two data stores?

    We just installed a new SAN ICSI and created an ISCSI target on it. We have created a new data store on our server ESXi 4.0 and reminded our Iscsi target. Our virtual machines have two logical drives, for the system partition C: and E: for data. At present, all virtual machines are residing on the 1 data store, which is located on the local hard drives of the esxi server. How pass readers E: of the virtual machine to the SAN and let C: readers where they are?

    Hello

    Or if you don't have a Vmotion, you can use stand-alone Vcenter converter to migrate your VM on the same ESXi host. and during this process on the Advanced tab, you can divide your virtual disks in the desired data store. You can keep the C: drive as it is on the same data store and add new vmdk and select its data store that you want, and then can move E: or D: drive until the new vmdk.

    In this way, you can split your C: and other disks on different vmware disks on different data warehouses.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • promotion of iSCSI LUN with the VMFS data store

    Hello

    I moved an iSCSI on the website of DR SAN and fact volume so that it was accessible to the ESX host on the site of DR based on the IP address and made the new analysis of the adapter for iSCSI Software in the VI Client on the two hosts on the DR site and he discovered the LUN.

    I don't want to go to the Configuration, storage and add storage as this reformatted the volume and it has a VMware Server already on it running happily on the main site.

    How can I add the volume as a VMFS data store available on the two hosts as he is picked up automatically?

    Thank you

    Paul

    I guess it was a VMFS volume that was used by the ESX environment on main site you, Yes? If you have moved the LUN, i.e. the ESX hosts in the main site no longer have access so that the ESX host at the DR site do not have access, you will need to define EnableResignature = 1 under Advanced settings, LVM

    You restart the analysis for storage and you should access your VMFS volume. You will need to register your virtual machines with the new host.

    When complete set EnableResignature = 0

  • Connection to the AOP with several NIC data store

    I have a situation where I need to have the computer that is running the tiara to be connected to two different networks.  I have two NIC installed in the machine, NIC A and B NIC, we will call them.  The reason for this is that I use Diadem to access the server on a machine of AVL PUMA AO.  If I connect to the local network PUMA, PUMA sometimes breaks down, probably something to do with the IP address.  So PUMA has need to be on a network that is not a router.  My tiara computer must communicate with PUMA, as well as with local shared drives on our corporate network.

    In any case, I have the company LAN hung on A NIC and hung on NIC B PUMA network.  Tiara fails to connect when the two networks are connected, but connects to the data store no problem when that network PUMA is hung. Any ideas how to solve this problem?  It seems tiara is looking for NIC - A instead of NIC B, as appropriate.

    For reference, when the two NIC is connected, I can access other than readers, and separate computers to ping on both networks, without problem, is not a connection problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    -Russ

    I guess poth NIC have different IP.

    -Did you use IP instead of the server name.

    -Do you use RPC or CORBA to access the PUMA Server?

    -What version of DIAdem.

    You can create a log file when the connection has failed?

  • Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

    How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

    I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

    Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

    Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

  • Add the new hard drive into the data store in ESXi 4.1

    Hi all

    I got ESX 4.1 installed on the Dell server, and I have 3 virtual machines on a data store.

    Oracle system engineer

    Abrams,

    That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

    1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

    2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

    This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
    a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
    (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
    c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

    After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

    And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

    Good luck.

  • How can I move virtual machines from a local data store for a new iSCSI SAN?

    Hello guys,.

    Now that we have a new iSCSI SAN market how can I tranfer all the virtual machine to a local data store for a new SAN? Can I stop the VM in the host, and then copy the DataStore files with all the info on the new volume?

    Thank you

    Alternatively, you can use VMware converter or cold Migration / Storage VMotion if you have the appropriate licenses.
