• 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.

• List of the files in the data store for the virtual machine

  Hello

  How to list the files of data store for the virtual machine? I can't find reference to the command.

  Thank you

  If you have installed vCLI and vSphere SDK for Perl, you have extra utilities on top of what is there with the vCLI, take a look at this list: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/viperl40/doc/vsperl_util_index.html

  A script that can help with the list of files to store data for a given virtual machine is dsbrowse.pl

  Here is an example:

  [vi-admin@scofield ~]$ /usr/lib/vmware-vcli/apps/host/dsbrowse.pl --server himalaya.primp-industries.com --username root --name dlgCore-iSCSI.test

• How to judge whether a data store is read only or not?

  Hello

  VI client, when I select the 'Mounting NFS read-only' checkbox during the addition of a storage, the storage will not be listed during VM creation.  I checked the MOB and the SDK web page, but have not found how to judge whether a data store is read only or not.

  Do me a favor please.

  -Akityou

  You should be able to get this information out of the HostMountInfo under mode http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.MountInfo.html

• Show active paths by the data store for each host

  I'm looking for a PowerCLI script that displays by cluster, by ESXi host how active paths has a data store. The output should look like:

  Paths of Active host data store

  VMFS-01 ESXi01 2

  Thank you

  Ivo

  Try this one, it shows the actual number of "active" paths by the data store.

  foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){  $hss = Get-View $esx.Extensiondata.ConfigManager.StorageSystem
  
    $lunTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.ScsiLun | %{    $lunTab.Add($_.Key,$_.CanonicalName)  }  $pathTab = @{}  $hss.StorageDeviceInfo.MultipathInfo.Lun | %{    $pathState = @($_.Path | Group-Object -Property PathState |    where {$_.Name -eq "active"} | Select -ExpandProperty Group)
  
      if($pathTab.ContainsKey($_.Lun)){      $pathTab[$_.Lun] += $pathState.Count    }    else{      $pathTab.Add($lunTab[$_.Lun],$pathState.Count)    }  }
  
    foreach($mount in ($hss.FileSystemVolumeInfo.MountInfo | where {$_.Volume.Type -eq "VMFS"})){    $mount.Volume.Extent |    Select @{N="VMHost";E={$esx.Name}},      @{N="Datastore";E={$mount.Volume.Name}},      @{N="LUN";E={$_.DiskName}},      @{N="Active Paths";E={$pathTab[$_.DiskName]}}  } } 
  

• Second data store for the shared virtual machine

  IM thinking about to migrate my existing VMWare Server 2.x to VMWare Workstation 8.

  My server is a machine selfbuild W2k8 with Core i7, 24 GB of ram, an SSD for the OS and two 500 GB HDDs. Due to performance issues an VM is placed on a separate HARD disk. I want to keep the configuration like this.

  At the time where I'm using a trial version of WS8 and may not know how to set up a second datastore for shared virtual machines on a second hard drive. Is this possible at all? Or y at - it an alternative to solve this problem? Creation of a RAID0, isn't my favorite option.

  Thanks for the reply.

  It is not implemented by using a second data store for shared virtual computers.

  Workaround solution:
  Suppose you have the original data store C:\vms and a second D:\vms

  then create a junction for each directory in D:\vms like that

  C:\vms\VM1 D:\vms\VM1 junction.exe

  C:\vms\VM2 D:\vms\VM2 junction.exe
  ....

  then the vmx files from doubleclick in C:\vms\VM1 and configure the virtual machine to share.

  On Windows 7, use mklink.exe instead
  On Linux hosts use ln

• How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store?

  How can I get the list of data stores in a cluster data store? I mean the command line option.

  by command line, you mean PowerCLI?

  If so, you can display data with this warehouses:

• Why is 'Use different data stores for disks of BONE and View Composer persistent' grayed out?

  I installed 5 (cluster host 2) vsphere, vcenter 5 discover 5 and openfiler (iSCSI VSA) in vmware workstation 7.

  I am trying to simulate a tiered storage configuration and created three warehouses of shared data in order to separate the replica, the linked clones and persistent disk.

  However, when I create my bound clone pool I am able to select a specific data store for the replica and bound but clone the persistent disk option is grayed out.  See photos attached to the pool creation, storage, and network configuration.

  Has anyone any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Yes, the use of the disc for operating system profiles require a linked clone pool.     The operating system will be on the clone, persistent disk will be a disc loaded end service that survive refreshes and redials, and then the replica will be reading only one copy of the master image.    The replica in general has in the IO and is almost always placed on the SSD or storage faster than you have and the persistent data disk is usually low IO.

• How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, one

  How to find and replace data in fields of form in acrobat xi, its not allowing to do while trying, request adobe livecycle to settle. Help, please.

  Best way to do is the following:

  -Open the PDF in Acrobat.

  -Go to tools - form - form more Options - export data.

  -Save form data in an XML file somewhere on your system.

  -Open the XML file in a plain text editor (I recommend Notepad ++).

  -Let's say you want to replace all the years in dates "2013" to '2014 '. Do a global search & replace '2013-' to '2014' - (I added the dashboard in order to ensure that only the date fields are changed).

  -Save the XML file (maybe under a new name).

  -Go back to the PDF file and now go to tools - forms - more form Options - import data.

  -Select the modified XML file and import it.

• Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

  Hi people,

  We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

  We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

  Following problem.

  When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

  After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

  Any ideas?

  Concerning

  Jean

  How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

  If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

  A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

  I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

• How to specify what data store for use with OVFtool

  It drives me crazy! Way that you specify what data store to use when there are several?

  I ran exactly the same command on a box that had a data store and it worked fine (as expected). He created the folder of the virtual machine to the root of the SD and then pulled on the virtual machine of the FVO. However, with multiple it just says not: no datstore target specified. I tried 1 million combinations of?-ds = with hooks, without. It is said to be sometimes found in the inventory. I guess that's looking for a folder. But this cannot be so difficult?
