How to add a LUN VMFS format without formatting? in vSphere 5.1

Hi people, we need to mount a store of data that was previously seconded.

Is it supposed to be an option called: EnableResignature or > DisallowSnapshotLun but is not present in vSphere 5.1.

Can someone has a workaround for this? We just need to set up a data store without formatting!

We use vSphere 5.1 Ent.Plus Lic.

Help, please!

Concerning

You can always re - mount an individual to a host data store if he is always aware that the data store was just disassembled.

Options EnableResignature or DisallowSnapshotLun is relevant only if you present a new LUN with the VMFS volume to a host that already has a volume mounted by the same UUID of VMFS (for example a volume snapshot of SAN-side).

Since few releases ESXi, you don't even have to set the options manually beforehand. It comes when you add the data store in the vSphere Client will ask you what to do, whether it is the will of the volume. Will simply means just assign another name VMFS UUID and the data store, that's all.

He does not reformat the LUN. So that you can move forward, then up the LUN.

  • How to add or create a format of custom paper (200mmx300mm) for hp photosmart prem c310a or 7960 series

    How should I do to add or create a format of custom paper in the list of paper sizes.

    I need to add a 200mmx300mm without borders

    I have two printers Photosmart prem c310a Photosmart 7960 and neither show the size of paper.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit

    I have the HP Toucjhsmart PC 520

    Found the solution below listed on another thread...

    Thank you 007OHMSS

    The printer driver allows a custom like this size, if so how to do it:

    Click Print (in whatever program you use), the print dialog screen should appear. Make sure that the selected printer is the 7000 (in my case the c310a). Click Properties, click the features tab, in the size field, click down, select custom. Then put in the size you want.

    Like I said, it's only if the installed printer driver supports this feature. Hope that helps.

  • How to add SAN LUN in ESX of CLI?

    Hello people,

    I work for a team of engineers to implementation, where our tasks involve the construction of about 15 bunches per month.

    As part of build tasks, we end up consuming more time add the SAN LUN in the ESX servers all running ESX 4.1 through the Victoria Cross.

    I understand that the vmkfstools command could help us create a partition vmfs3 on the LUN, but when I do it asks me to set the partition to 0xfb and I believe that we should use the parted for that utility.

    I can't define it with a single command. My goal is to put these commands in a script to speed up the work.

  • How to add a LUN replicated to vCenter for test of recovery after disaster?

    We are currently on version 5.1 of ESXi and vCenter.  We have a DR test to come to one of our applications that includes about 12 VMs.  My question is, when he introduced the LUNS replicated to our Dominican Republic / Test environment vSphere on our DR site, should we choose to will Lun?  I thought I had read somewhere that for all hosts in a cluster VMware can see the LUN, it must be resigned, rather than simply mount the LUNS without resignaturing, which I believe cannot be presented to a host then do it this way.  I just wanted to confirm whether or not it is correct.

    Also, if will be resignaturing LUN, we must manually update the references for each virtual machines vmdk files, or which is done automatically?

    When making a DR test previously and just pick up the LUN and not at will, the logic unit number was visible as a single host that is located in a three-node cluster.

    Thank you

    What will happen when you present a LUN to a host depends on whether the host saw the signature before, i.e. the LUN was mounted previously and was not dismantled/detached correctly. In the case of a known signature, the LUN will be considered to be a 'snapshot LUN' and it is necessary to will it to make it appear like a new LUN on the host, or you will have to manually force mount the LUNS. By resignaturing the LUN to one of the hosts, it will be recognized by all other guests too. Editing should be done separately on each host. For more information, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387.

    You can also take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004605 to find out how properly remove/detach a unit logic of a host number, so that should not keep the signature.

    Hello.

    Your requeriments combat the composer :). Why not use OOTB Oracle composer.?

    If you need to do without going to 'Edit Mode' my recommendation is to decompile the WebCenter/composer libraries and try to do the same thing because you have to save the changes to the MDS, manage simultaneous page editing, configure the components that are customizable etc... It is not a trivial job.

    If you find an easier way, please share it with the community :). At the moment I can't recommend decompile you and learn a little how works OOTB.

    Kind regards.

  • Add LUNS pre-formatted

    I have a server iscsi with some database LUN and VM files on them.  When I had to rebuild my ESX servers, I am now unable to add these old LUNs to the system.  ISCSI HBA sees the ok, bu lun Eelle does not show storage under available devices, and it gives me only the possibility to the foramt, them who, obviously, I don't want to do what they are already in VMFS format and contain configured VMs.  How can I re-add-the to my host ESX without having to reformat?

    Thank you

    You will probably will those LUNs. I haven't done on ESX4 yet, but it should be an advanced named EnableResignature parameter you have to value 1 then Reanalyze the LUNS (and set the parameter to 0). It worked in the past when you have, for example, moved hard disks with VMFS volumes between the hosts.

    See the following article for a detailed explanation of the process:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=9453805&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=22247066&StateID=0%200%2022245143

    It should work like this with ESX4 as well, but I have not tested myself yet.

    Also, some nice information on this one and another parameter:

  • How to add music to iTunes without copying the music files

    How to add music to iTunes without music copied to an iTunes Media folder or anywhere else?

    I read the answer is to go into the advanced settings and uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media when adding to library". Which is excellent and this option is not checked, but iTunes keep copy of the music into an iTunes Media folder...

    Anything ripped CD, converted, downloaded from the iTunes Store or added via the automatically add to iTunes folder will eventually iTunes Media. If you add a folder of files stored outside the media folder and the option is disabled, then iTunes should not be generating copies in the media folder. Can you describe a specific example where you can see the new arrival before and after importation?

    As a backup to one side and the migration of an iTunes library is much easier if all the content is organized inside the iTunes Media folder, but this is no reason not to try and find out why things are not behave correctly for you now.

    Edit PDF files in InDesign is not a good idea. If the file was originally exported ID, then change the original and then create a new PDF file.

    Open an old, and then use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages on the 'old'. The fields that you have already created will remain in place when you do this.

  • How to add podcasts to an existing account?

    I already downloaded 4 to 5 podcasts on my account, but I can't understand how I add another. I can repeat the process, but then I should add these 5 previous podcasts.

    I can't understand how it just add to my account.

    Everyone knows this?

    Thank you!

    Do you mean "podcasts" or do you mean "episodes"? A podcast is, indeed, the 'wrapper' for the episodes and has its own page in the iTunes Store, in which episodes show. The Store and iTunes work stream, which contains the information in a specific format. All what you need to do is add an episode to the food and the re - publish: subscribers in iTunes will see the new episode almost immediately and the store will be updated in 1 or 2 days.

    If you want to add a new podcast, with its own distinct episodes of your existing, just go to http://podcastsconnect.apple.com and click on the icon "+" at the top left to add. This will not affect your existing podcast.

    When you have any questions you should post the URL of your feed and iTunes Store page, because without them, we can give very general answers.
