• ESXi 5.0 servers don't recognize that same NFS share to the same data store

  I have a setup of vSphere 5.0 running VMware Workstation 8.  I have two ESXi servers that are accumulating the same NFS share (with the same IP address and the same directory path), but for some reason, they don't recognize it as the same data store.  I deleted and added to the data store again and checked that I am getting the same way on both nodes.  However, vSphere don't let me use the same name when I ride sharing NFS as a data store on the second node. vSphere changes the name of "NFSdatastore" to "NFSdatastore (1)" and will not let me change, say that the name already exists.

  The NFS file server is a VM of 2.99 OpenFiler, which IP 192.168.0.100 (and is in DNS as "openfiler1").  The path is "/ mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore.

  The NFS mount works great as a data store on the two servers ESXi, except for the fact that vSphere sees two data stores.  I have a Red Hat VM running on each of them, and when I browse the data of each ESXi Server store, I can definitely see two configs VM, as well as a few ISO images that I put on the NFS share.  However, I can't vMotion as he complains about not being able to access the configuration file and the file virtual disk (vmdk) of the other node.

  On the OpenFiler, the directory/mnt/vsphere/vcs/datastore is the property of "ofguest" in the "ofguest" group, and the permissions are "drwxrwsrwx +".  All files under the directory are also held by "ofguest" in the group "ofguest".  Vmx files have permissions "rwxr-xr-x + ', and the vmdk files have permissions ' rw +-

  I did a lot of Google search, read best practices, etc.  Any help is appreciated.

  UPDATE: he Figured out - leakage / on one of the paths of NFS mounting.  DOH!

  Maybe this can help you:

• Multiple ESX servers to access the same data store

  We connect our ESX servers to an Equallogic SAN iSCSI using VMWare iSCSI card.   I have a data store that has ISO files to store.   So far, I can connect only this data to an ESX Server store on time.  I have to disconnect an and connect manually to the other.  We currently have a facility relatively bare bones (don't have vCenter again, grouping, etc.).

  Is there anyway to connect the same data store to multiple ESX servers?  I tried to adjust the volume of Equallogic SAN for read only (since I just need to read ISO files), but I can't connect to ESX servers when I do this.

  Remember that the volume is enabled for clustering.

  From v4.x Equallogic firmware, there is an option advanced on each volume.

• DTS moves to the same data store

  Greetings,

  We are short v5.5u1 esxi and vcenter device with DTS clusters installation using thresholds to space only at this time. We do not limit our VM to place records on the same data and store, and in view of the virtual machine can have his records scattered across data warehouses in a cluster of the DS.

  We have many events that seem to do nothing is represented below.  Everyone agrees that something actually happens or vcenter turns his wheels?

  

  Thank you

  Ron

  Just answered my own question... it has to do with my scattered placement of vmdk. Since the vmx file lives on a given data store, the event shows that the activity... However if you check the DTS tab for the cluster data store you will find the disks associated with the virtual machine on other data warehouses were actually moved.

  

• How to create a LOV the same table in the adf.

  Hi all
  
  I have a simple table of database with over any dependant on other tables. In my table one of my name of the column as "Gander".
  Since I have given in table mod "or F. What is my requirement in simple with table search page that I want to search with Gander field also with other areas.
  while I want to show that gender as LOV in the search panel.
  I tried with when we have a relationship with some other table.but how to create LOV to field when the field in the same table only.
  
  as M or F even use cases or not like.

  Siva

  Siva,

  What is your version of JDev? What technology you are using (BC4J?)?

  Assuming you are using BC for the model, you tried to create another object view based on query something like

  select distinct gender, gender from your table
  

  and then use this VO for LOV?

  Hi Adam,.

  Yes, if you create tabs in the region in a list (through the shared components, lists) and then display using something as the model of the "list of tabbed browsing.

• 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

• Secondary partition of the same data store question

  I currently trying to partition of one of my stores of data and perform in questions. I have a 2 TB data store, which first of all, I broke to 20 GB for my OS, so I want to use the remaining amount in storage. When I change the VM and add a secondary partition as a hard drive, it appears as a disk on the server. Is there something that I need to open I'm missing?

  Once the data store is created you can not break. Is that what you have already installed your operating system on the 20 GB drive? You have changed the settings of the virtual machine to add the second hard drive? Once you have changed the settings of the machine virtual and added the hard drive, you should be able to start the virtual machine and the partition and format the disk storage within the operating system through the normal operating system disk tools.

• VM with disks of different data warehouses. Snapshots on the same data store?

  Hello

  We have several virtual machines with disks on different data stores for reasons RAID.

  Last night, we found that the snapshots of all disks are left on the data store main vmx and not on each datastore disk.

  How will we change this as our OS data warehouses are small and run out of space when running shadow copies?

  Thank you

  Frogbeef

  You can change the location of snapshots, but they will all go to this place - as far as I know, you cannot change the location of each disk.

  The KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002929 explains how to do this.

• Cloning of VM/TIME to the different data store

  Hi all

  I am working out scripts excellent clone of Ruben garcia and one thing I'm trying to add is to have the VAPP created on a different data store.

  # Clone and move virtual machines
  {foreach ($vm to $vms)
  $vm = $vm | Get-opinion
  $vmname = $cloneName + "»" + $vm.name "
  . \LcloneVM $vm.name - cloneName '$vmname' - «$PortGroup» PortGroup
  Get-vm-name $vmname | Move-vm-destination $vapp;
  The virtual machine are getting cloned and then inserted in the passed TIME as a parameter name, but I can't understand how do to have the VAPP will be created on a data store that I specify. At this time the vApp is created on the same data store where the linked clones. Can I travel after from the user interface by using the migrate command but I want if possible to automate it.
  I thought that the next line should work but the VAPP fails when creating, so the move-vm command fails later.
  # Create VAPP

  $vapp = $host_name | VAPP-new-name "$cloneName" - data store "ThinDiskTesting"

  I am at a loss to what im doing wrong

  Post edited by: BrianRTS - difficulty of setting in the form

  You can specify the data store where you want to create linked clone delta files.

  This requires a slight modification to the script of Ruben

  # Generate specs for clone
  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $sourceVM.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]::createNewChildDiskBacking $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $tgtDatastoreName).ExtensionData.MoRef
  

  Ownership of the data store is used to indicate where the clone should be placed.

  Or you want to create the clones, then move them?

• Deployment uses the local data store

  The deployment of VIO works without problem, but one of the virtual machines (VIO-DB-0) is now in a local data store. I never chose this data store in the installation process.

  Is it possible to manually move the virtual machine? Is it possible to define the data store used for the management of virtual machines somewhere?

  Concerning

  Daniel

  Hi Daniel,.

  Take a look at VMware integrated OpenStack 1.0 Release Notes:

  • Installer gives priority to local storage by default
    When you set up the data for the database stores three virtual machines, VMware OpenStack Setup integrated automatically gives priority to a local storage to improve IO performance. For resilience, users might prefer a shared storage, but the installer does not clear how to change this setting.
  • Workaround: Before completing the installation process, the installer of VMware OpenStack integrated allows you to examine and change the configuration. You can use this opportunity to change the configuration of the data to the database store three virtual machines.

  If you have already installed VIO, AFAIR you should be able to manually move between data warehouses as long as you do not change VM itself.

  Note that there is rule anti-affinite, so you may not be able to move that VM in the same data store when no other VIO - DB resides.

  Another note is that if you turn off VIO-DB-0, mysql service will not appear automatically. you have to turn on manually by running "service mysql start" on the node itself, or run 'vioconfig start' of the SGD server.

  Best regards

• Size = size of the VMFS data store VMDK?

  Is it possible to create a single vmdk equal to the size of a vmfs data store he created in or is it a load element used by vCenter/ESXi.

  I am using vSphere 4 and VMFS data warehouses are in format VMFS 3.33.

  You can't if it is the main drive of a virtual machine and the virtual machine configuration files etc receive on the same data store as the virtual machine directly to the output that the bat will need extra space for a brief amount. For a data reader, this should be possible since there should not be any files will use the space.

• How to create two different smart albums with photos with the same date?

  I created a smart album by using 'Date is' and ' keyword is EAA.»  (The photos have a keyword like "EAA" or "Flower".  Photos of keyword EAA & flower have the same date.)  When I use "Corresponding to all" are has no pictures in the album.  When I use "Match any" all the photos are in the album - EAA & flower.  I would like an album with only pictures of CEA for that date and another album with photos of flower with the same date.

  I get the same answer.  I can get the date and to a key word to work with 'all' selected, but not date and keywords.  So you will need two smart albums: one with date and ECA ('all' selected) and the other with date and flowers ('all' selected).

  Use the file menu option ➙ new Smart Album.
