• How do you get the path of the data store or the URL of a virtual disk in vRealize Orchestrator?

  I need to eager zero a virtual disk while building a virtual machine. I found the eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task() under VcVirtualDiskManager function, which takes in 2 parameters:

  name - (String) the name of the disk, is a path to the data store or a URL pointing to the virtual disk that needs to be inflated.

  Data Center - (VcDatacenter) if the name is a path of data store, the data center for the path of the data store. Not necessary when called directly on ESX. If not specified on a call to VirtualCenter, the name must be a URL.

  How can I get the correct path of data store given the virtual disk? I intend to iterate through the features of the virtual machine to get the disks.

  Thank you!

  Actually figured out how to get the path of the data store, and how a drive zeros. In case it is useful to share the code here:

  var vimHost = vm.vimHost; VM instanceof VCVirtualMachine

  var vDiskMgr = vimHost.virtualDiskManager;

  for each disk

  var features = vm.config.hardware.device;

  for each {(dev var in devices)

  dev.backing contains a lot of useful things...

  If (dev instanceof VcVirtualDisk) {}

  a disc!

  var dsPath = dev.backing.fileName;

  System.log ("path of disk:" + dsPath);

  Data var Center =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.datastore').getDatacenterForDatastore (dev.backing.datastore);

  var vcTask = vDiskMgr.eagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task (dsPath, datacenter);

  wait

  var waitResult =

  System.getModule('com.vmware.library.vc.basic').vim3WaitTaskEnd (vcTask, true, 5);

  }

  }

• VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• How to move a rule definition with the data store for esx alarm without re-creating the rule?

  Hi, I would spend my rule of definition of alarm of the data at the level of esx store, without re-creating the rule. Is this possible?

  In the Act, I don't want no definition of the alarm at the data store level. So, what is the best practice?

  
  
  Best regards

  It is currently not possible.  The rules are hierarchical, and there is no way to stop the inheritance, or move messages.  You will have to re-create them at the appropriate level.

• How to increase the size of the iSCSI data store?

  I try to add an iomega StorCenter as an iSCSI target.  I added the storage card which indicates the total capacity of 8,13 TB in vSphere Client (it looks like the right size).  Now when I add the data store, however, is that there only 128,75 GB of capacity (this is where the problem).  How can I recover the full space available?  It's almost as if I need to increase size of partition or something, but I don't know how to do this.

  Also, if I click on the data store > properties, the increase... button opens a dialog box, but there is nothing for me to choose.

  System / / desc:

  Welcome to the community - ESX 4 only supports storage of 2 TB - 512 B data - you will need to carve up the storage being presented in LUNS which are smaller than 2 TB - 512b

• ESX host cannot see the data store

  Hello team, I have vcenter management 5 2 host esxi5. now added an esxi4 in the cluster and added iniitators for file systems. I can see the paths under this host of esx4 showing the LUN of the registrants. but I'm not able to see the data to store. When I tried to edit a newly created virtual machine to find the iso from the data store, it shows only the local hard disk of the host, which is a UCS blade. exsi5 hosts the two ok to see all data stores. can someone tell which part is wrong? Thank you!

  Looks like there is no problem with the presentation of the logic unit number since you can see the path to the LUN from the host.

  Is - these created data VMFS storages are 50 ESXi? If so, the VMFS version 5 (VMFS 5) which is not supported in ESXi 4.1.

  In this case, its expected that the host ESXi 4.1 will not show VMFS5 data warehouses.

• Storage vmotion to another data store on a different san

  Hello

  We have a 3.5 ESX cluster running 4 host ESX and Virtual Center. The licensing is ESX Server standard edition. We are migrating to ESXi 4.1 vSphere and a new SAN. One of the issues that we are going through is because we are only in standard edition, we have no storage vmotion to migrate the virtual machines of data stores in the old SAN for data warehouses in the new San. Other than purchasing the add-on storage vmotion, what other options can I. I thought to add a new ESX 3.5 server to the cluster and make storage vmotion from this server while it is running trial license. I would probably need only a few days to storage vmotion on about 45 VMs. Please let me know if one were to do this or any other alternatives available.

  Hello

  There is an unofficial plugin that does not require an authorization.

• Storage VMotion for several data stores

  I'm looking for some advice and assistance with the help of the vSphere PowerCLI to SVMotions.

  I found that I can use virtual vmname Get-machine | Move-VM - datastore (Get-Datastore datastorename) that has worked very well and I was ready to roll. However, it occurred to me that I can only refer to a data store in the cmdlet and some of our virtual machines have their drives located on different data warehouses.

  So I set up a test VM with two disks of different data warehouses and began a SVMotion. The result was that it has migrated all disks in their separate data warehouses in a single folder on the target.

  What I need to be able to do is to migrate a disk and leave the other in its original location, or migrate two disks of different locations in two different places again. As you can do if you switch the machine virtual and migrate through the graphical interface, moving storage with advanced options (and probably what you can do via the graphical interface with the virtual machine in vSphere).

  I've got ESX 3.5 Update 5 with vCenter 2.5 update 6 If no GUI in VirtualCenter and the free snap option not taken in charge is not an option.

  Is there a way to do it with the PowerCLI or am I limited to migration the data store's unique virtual machine?

  Thank you very much.

  This can be achieved using the. RelocateVM_Task() method of the VirtualMachine SDK object

  See the code below:

  $configDatastoreName = "DataStore_01"
  $HardDisk1DatastoreName = "DataStore_02"
  $HardDisk2DatastoreName = "Datastore_03"
  
  $vm = Get-VM VM001
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
  #Get MoRef for Destination datastore for Config files
  $spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore $configDatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  
  #for each disk specify where the vmdk files should be placed.
  #If a vmdk should NOT be moved, enter its CURRENT datastore
  #If you forget to specify a disks location, it will be moved to the datastore
  #specified in $spec.Datastore
  
  #HardDisk 1
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[0].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk1DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #HardDisk 2
  $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
  $objDisk.DiskID = $vm.HardDisks[1].Id.Split('/')[1]
  $objDisk.DataStore = (Get-Datastore $HardDisk2DatastoreName | Get-View).MoRef
  $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  
  #When all harddisks are specified call the RelocateVM_task()
  $vm.ExtensionData.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "defaultPriority")

• How to copy a virtual machine from a data store

  I was trying to speed up my make my VM to an EXSi Server (no used vmotion) test to a new ESX Server by downloading the records of the data bank on the ESXi server to store data on the new ESX Server.  Can someone give me instructions or point me in the direction on how to create a virtual computer from new data warehouses, I can see the new data store but I'm unable to create VMS of him.

  Thank you

  Browse the data store and find the .vmx file, right-click on it and choose "add to the inventory.

• How to remove a VCD 5.5.2 data store

  people,

  can you please tell me the steps to remove VCD 5.5.2 datastore?

  I see the ability to disable the data store, but there is no delete or remove the option in VCD 5.5.2.

  Make sure that vCD does no space set aside in manage and monitor, then remove the tag corresponding to the storage policy or profile of the vSphere client data store.

  So don't forget not/note, vCD cares about individual data warehouses.

  He asked vCenter... that data warehouses are storage/profile of strategy called 'Gold '? (or whatever it's called)

  vCenter responds with a list of stores of data that match the policy/profile.

  vCenter knows this association based on the storage/strategy profile looking for specific tags on data warehouses.

• How to understand that ESXi has mounted a data store?

  Dear members,

  I am a new Bee with VMware.  When I click in the cluster of ESXi, I see nodes that are part of the cluster, but also see mounted on it data warehouses.

  How do I know which node is pwning the data store (or what node has a particular data store mounted?)?

  Thank you

  Rahul

  Actually, there is no owner. All data in ESXi stores are accessible by multiple hosts at the same time.

• How to limit the I/O in a data store?

  Hello

  Not sure if storage i/o control can accomplish what I want. so, here's the scope. We have an EMC e 3300 connected via iSCSI on our ESXis 5.0 U2. We have a virtual machine that generates a lot of IO.

  Is there anyway to limit the OPS are / s to a specific virtual machine to the data store, so it not to saturate the pipe set iscsi?

  Thank you

  There is a limit of IOPS / s on the virtual disk as an option... You can assign to that.

• How to remove the virtual computer on a data store

  I'm moving VM (by the data store) to my new cluster data store and as I release a DS I have delete and create new with VMFS5.  I just emptied a data store but when I run the following command it shows again two VM on the same DS so when I navigate on the DS it is empty.

  Get-datastore-name "DS_NAME | Get - vm | FT name

  How to see where/how/why these two VMs are on the DS when it seems to be empty, and I'm assuming that PowerCLI is my best result. Of course, I don't want to just delete the DS as possible casue a problem with these virtual machines.  When I look at the settings them of each virtual machine they show that they are on a store of separate data and not that I'm trying to delete.

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  Sean

  You can do:

  Notice-EEG-Id | Get-VIObjectByVIView

  or:

  Get - VM | Get-Datastore
