How to add the data without loss of data store?

Hello

We had ESXi 3.5 installed on 1 HDD and data store was on a different HARD disk.

Now the HDD with ESXi host got crashed and I had to replace it with another HARD drive and make new ESXi installation on the new HARD drive.

Now after the new ESXi install on new HARD drive, it does not detect the data store on the HARD drive second.  It is, however, detect the LUN of the second HARD disk.

Now, how can I do detect the data store on the second HARD drive?  Or y at - it anyway I can add the data store on the second HARD drive to the new host ESXi?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Denis

You will need to activate lun resignaturing and snapshot LUN, mount and rename the store of data back to its original name, and then disable them.

  • Machines MSCS with RDM, how to change the data store?


    Hello world

    I'm having a problem of displacement of 2 machines with RDM disks.
    We have 2 guests ESxi 4.1 with virtualcenter, but no license for vmotion.

    This 2 machines is building a MSCS Cluster (Microsoft) (file server) with multiple disks (5) RDM,
    for a total area of 8.9 TB. Of course, for use with MS cluster, the WDR is with physical compatibility.

    The problem is that the local vmdk (and also rdm.vmdk files) for these 2 machines are on the local data store (a machine for each host) and I need to move them to the shared storage. But if I power off of a computer and trying to change with the ROW data store attached, I get an error because the VMFS of the commune dastore (block size = 1 MB) does not support these large files (up to 2 TB).

    I read a lot of articles
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031041
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026256
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002511
    and a few other discussions of communities.

    In accordance with article
    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1005241

    I tried to turn off the machine, remove the RDM, migrate to another data store, and then reconnect the RDM.
    There is a big problem with the last point, because I don't know how readd the RDM manually (vmfsktools?).
    I want to add an existing drive, but he was in local storage, and I don't want more no reference to the file in the local storage...
    According to the documentation of vmware for MSCS, the second node of the cluster disks can be added simply to add a drive existing and selecting the
    existing node. If it is no problem of shared storage, but the host cannot read local storage to another host...

    Any suggestion to migrate a computer virtual with RDM shared storage room? Thank you

  • How to recover the data store of VMware using EQL Volume snapshot (smart copy)?

    Hi, I use VMware Std 5.1.0b on Dell EQL 6100 series.

    I have a question where my datastore (2 VMs) VM are stored in one of the Volumes EQL. I had created smart copies weekly.

    I tried to recover by creating a volume "cloned" by using one of the smart copies. That's why I would have 2 exact same volumes in EQL (one is updated and the other is 1 week old).

    I can rename them running EQL EQL centenarians. But it doesn't seem to be a way for me to get old EQL volume to vCenter.

    -J' have re-scanned the ESXi for databases and I tried to add, but he can't just see volumes

    Is there a step I missed that "deletes" and ID that distinguishes EQL-current and old EQL?

    When ASM creates stereotypes that they are defined in read ONLY. Make sure that you change this read-write in the first group Manager graphical user interface.  Then rescan.  The LVM. EnableResignature will not work unless it is read-write.

  • iSCSI fail to add the data store - hostdatastoresystem.queryvmfsdatastorecreateoptions

    Hey,.

    All of my iSCSI LUNS have a problem being mounted by my hosts. This is a new host with a new iSCSI SAN. I tested it in dev with 5.5 and all went well. The only difference is the material that dev and production run on. Both use iSCSI Software maps, but the production environment has an Intel PRO 1000 with the support of the TOE. Not sure if this is important enough to warrant mention, but hey wouldn't go through hoops, etc..

    As follows:

    iSCSI target is in the same subnet

    iSCSI Software adapter has two network cards, each separate vSwitches who are dedicated to the iSCSI Software map. Both show "Consistent" and "active".

    The paths are set to Round Robin by VMware for the multipath.

    You want to write the date and time in the photo?

    You need to do it in an external editor.  Photos can't.

    You can print the date and time and other legends on a Board-contact, however.  When you select a photo and then use the model of the "Contact Sheet", you can click the 'Captions' button and select the metadata to use as the legend on the contact sheet.

    To write directly to the photo, you can use the Preview.app.

    Export the photo to go to Photos and then open it in preview or install the extension of"external editors" of the App Store. Then you can open preview directly from the Panel of editing in Photos.  See this tip for user: external photo editors are here

  • When you add the data to the host of the second store it wants to format storage

    I have two hosts ESXi 5.5, one is the main host who currently runs the set of virtual machine from this data store. I would add the data store to the host, but to do so is greyed out on the new server, and he wants I want to format the data store.

    UPDATE:

    I used this thread to solve: cannot add to ESXi host VMFS datastore

    More precisely:

    Try the following command

    #esxcfg - volume - l

    This should show the volume

    To constantly increase the volume, use esxcfg-volume - M followed of the UUID or volume name

    I'm afraid that the CloneVM_Task method you cannot specify subfolders on a data store.

    He wants a data store and use the displayname property of the virtual machine to create a folder on this data store.

    If you clone a computer virtual called XYZ to the store of data DS1, the clone will be located in the "[DS1] XYZ" folder.

    If you want to move the clone to a different folder, you can use the cmdlet Copy-DatastoreItem thereafter.

    The Get - VM by default displays a selection of properties.

    You can ask all the properties

    Get - VM | Select *.

    or some specific

    Get - VM | Select name, Description

    You can even access the real object of the SDK VirtualMachine

    Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="VMX; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Files.VmPathName}}

    PowerCLI comes with a data store provider.

    It is documented in the vSphere PowerCLI Admin Guide, which is installed with PowerCLI.

    With the provider, you can list the files .vmx on data warehouses.

    To find the name of the corresponding client, you will need to retrieve the DisplayName of the .vmx file field.
