• Can I remove this data store?

  Hello guys,.

  I free up space in a storage, and for that to work correctly, I followed the following steps:

  1. I created a new data store in other containers for storage.

  2 - I did a migration of storage of the old data store to the new.

  3 - remove the old VMDATA.

  At this point, I glued, because the old data store is not empty... West a strange folder inside, but I don't know if I can remove it, as you can see in the image below.

  

  The question is: can I remove this data store? The showing on the photo, UID is the same UID of the LUN I want deleted.

  I use VMWARE ESXi 5.1 Enterprise Edition Plus.

  Kind regards

  Roberto

  files and folder in dotted lines are normally for the metadata of the data store itself.

  so, you can delete the data without any problem store.

  BTW. If you delete a data store and it is still used by a virtual machine the delet-job will be cancelled. There is a small security bit set

  Have you read this KB? http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2055137

  You basically have vCenter Server 5.1 patch 1 installed? If not, and you want to upgrade to work around this problem, disable vSphere HA for Cluster parameters, delete the affected data store and then reactivate vSphere HA.

• Remove a data store

  I need to remove a data store so that I can reformat vmfs3 to vmfs5. It is my understanding that vcenter will not introduce any APD or correct payday loans? The LUN will remain visible to all guests, as I said I just need to remove the data store on this subject, so I can recreate it with vmfs5.

  I guess after I remove it, I should questions some hosts renumerisations (except done automatically vcenter) before I recreate?

  Thank you.

  You are right, since you don't anyone the LUN, there is no problem with ODA...

  Simply remove the data store and create a new one. After that you can rescan all hosts so that they detect the new format.

• 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

  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

• Cannot remove the data store in esxi 3.5 - can help you

  OK - I have a problem. I messed up and now I'm stuck.

  I was "apparently" in the middle of a converter working, and I deleted the comments of esxi3.5, while the converter still worked.

  I selected the rafale and made a removal of the disc that worked, however the structure of associated file (windows 2000 Server) for this guest has not been deleted, so I chose my data store (datastore1) and - do you have a store of navigation data and when I try to delete the folder associated with the guest, I deleted I get the following error :

  "General failure caused by file" (with a "/" on the next line) and all I can do at this point is to click OK box to acknowledge the error and I can't delete the folder. I can't rename it either.

  I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to create a new client with the same name as the folder and delete the comments again, but that does not work either.

  I'm really stuck - I'm afraid to go into maintenance mode because I have no idea what I'm going to be confronted here since I never used the maintenance mode.

  any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

  You can try to do a refresh of the data store. The folder structure is not re read very often. In the data store Navigator, click the folder root on the left side and click on the Refresh button.

• Safely remove a data store

  I need to remove for good 2 data stores.  I first clicked each guest vm using these data storages and delete selected.  Data warehouses now show as empty when he is gone.  Can I just to right click\delete each empty data warehouses?  I would like to delete the corresponding LUN on the SAN (VNX) as the last step.  Can someone verify that it's correct.  I remember having a problem with this some time ago.  vCenter is version 5 - ESX 4.0 U2.  Thank you.

  The procedure will be the same for 4.x, then Yes, there will be some host commands involved. It seems really involved, but it really isn't so bad. Much better than potential wickedness that could come to remove them is not the right way.

• Cannot remove the data store

  Hello

  I am trying to remove a shared in Vsphere 5.0 SAN data store, and it fails to say that the datstore is in use. When I try to take it apart there is a red cross next to the statement that no virtual machines must be present. The data store is empty and afaics no point of virtual machines don't have any disk pointing it at all. He got a present HA heartbeat folder but I've reconfigured HA no to use the DS and could then remove the folder HA and empty so the DA, but still in use reports

  Gerry,

  Is it possible that your virtual machine contains a cd connected to the data store? I came across that once where a virtual machine was showing that the use of two data warehouses, but there files were only in one. I found that I had connected the reader of cd/dvd via the client to a file that was in this other data store. Just a thought.

• How to remove hierarchical data?

  Hello

  I have a table with hierarchical data. I want to remove the data based on a condition, but maybe that this condition is present only in the upper hierarchy.

  In my example, I have identified by id lines and a changed_by containing the id of the row that has replaced (invalidated) this line. Of these, I want to delete data where descr in end-nodes is 'A '.

  Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64 bit Production

  DROP TABLE test_del; CREATE TABLE test_del) CONSTRAINT pk_del PRIMARY KEY (id) id NUMBER changed_by NUMBER CONSTRAINT fk_del REFERENCES test_del (id) , descr VARCHAR2 (10) ) / INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (3, NULL, 'A'); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (2,3, 'A'); INSERT INTO test_del (ID, changed_by, descr) VALUES (1, 2, NULL); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (6, NULL, 'A'); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (5.6, 'A'); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (10, 'B', NULL); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (9, 10, 'B'); INSERT INTO test_del (id, changed_by, descr) VALUES (8,9, 'B'); COMMIT; SELECT *.

FK_DEL) violated - book of the foundling

  Of course, I get ORA-02292 in this case, but how can I write a correct statement that deletes the data displayed by the select?

  Concerning

  Marcus

  You must follow the hierarchy:

  DELETE FROM test_del

  WHERE ROWID IN)

  SELECT THE ROWID

  OF test_del

  CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = changed_by

  START WITH descr = "A".

  AND changed_by IS NULL);

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1006052

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Error to remove empty data store - the resource is in use.

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem with the removal of my empty data VMFS3 store I rebooted the host already, but somehow, he's always stuck not asupprimer, can someone help me remove this empty data VMFS3 store please?

  Thank you.

  I like to use the tab 'Maps' to see if any SMV always access the data store.  It is much easier to check the settings for a good number of virtual machines.

  Select the "Maps" tab and just put a check mark in the box for VM to the data store

  Click apply relationships

  If there is no line in the data store to be deleted, it means that a virtual machine is always oriented to the data store.

  If this is the case, change the settings of the virtual machine so it does not more point to this data store.
