How to save my VMs in local storage

My ESX 4 will not start now. all virtual machines is in the attached internal raid local. I would like to re - install and choose to keep existing VMFS, but this option is gray. is there a method to boot the ESX using DVD, then I can use ftp or ssh to download all my virtual machines? Thanks in advance.

Hi dingding.

You are able to add additional storage space to your machine and install ESX on it?

Don't forget to remove the current storage to avoid ESX replaces the wrong table.

Afterwards, you should be able to add the table and accessing it. I don't know if your machine will start the new array instead of the 'old '.

Let me know what you think

  • How to configure and use the local storage dirve and usb

    My company bought a server DMM cisco as well as 10 players of 4310 g dmp.  I tried to work on mine here to get it all working.  Let me expose what we would do first before to get into the details.

    The cental DMM will it play any content and be used to create and manage the content here at company wehre I am.  However my boss wants to send dmp individual players (4310 g) out to our factories across the country.  He wants me to be able to creat content or allow a person managing the exact address to edit the content and then push the content from the server DMM to corporate local DPM record either on local storage or attached thumb order.  I guess my questions on what are the following.

    (1) is it necessary to push the content locally for playback?  Willingness to play the content of our dmm on the wan to do lots of traffic?  Presentations could be as simple as a welcome page based presentation playing images video and flash.

    (2) based on local content would be a wise decision I'll have to see exactly how this is done poorly.  In the settings of the dmp, I see the setting of local storage and turned it on and set to read/write.  In regard to the command of thumb gose exactly how I implement that so that DPM can see?  I plug to the back of the drive, and it seems that it is active but the management console of the player I don't see anyway to actaully see if she knows the USB.

    (3) how will push the content for local storage and control of the DMM thumb?  It looks like I can send things to the storage internal if package transfer and or advanced/DPM deployment tasks or server file.  What exactly is the difference between these two?

    (4) Lastly how I actually play the local content of the dmp?  Can I set this up on a schedule of the dmm just like I would if he played the local dmm?

    I searched through the documentation, but I have not found any good docs who are clear to actually how to do these things.  So, any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Glen,

    Here are the answers to your questions

    1) is it nessesary to push the content locally for playback?  Will  playing content from our dmm over the wan be to much traffic?   Presentations could be as simple as a basic welcome page to a  presentation playing video and flash images.

    It is not required to push the content locally, you can also play the DMM directly. The main advantage of playing on the spot, is that you can transfer the videos several hours or days before the presentation begins to be played if you deploy content off hours and then, when he's ready to start playing the new presentation.

    If you play directly the content of the DMM, the content will be transferred at the time of the DMP starts playback. This may fail if the WAN link is saturated at that time here.

    2) If pushing the content local would be a wise decision I am having  difficulty seeing exactly how this is done.  In the dmp settings I see  the local storage setting and have it turned on and set to read/write.   As far as the thumb drive gose how exactly to I set that up so the dmp  can see it?  I plug it in the back of the player and it looks like it's  active but from the management console of the player I do not see any  way to actaully see if it knows about the usb thumb drive.

    You don't need to do anything to enable USB storage, simply plug it in. To confirm that the DMP is able to see it properly, the simplest way is to connect to the DPM via FTP and confirm that he has a «usb_2» directory This "usb_2" directory, where is the USB drive is mapped.

    3) how will I push the content to the local storage and the thumb drive  from the DMM?  It looks like I can send things to the internal storage  though the advanced tasks/deployment package and or file transfer to DMP  or server.  What exactly is the differnce between these two?

    The task of "File transfer" will just do this, transfer a file to the DMP. The deployment package is smarter and will transfer all the contents of a presentation and organize them in a structure that can be used to read the content locally. You should always use the deployment package.

    4) finally how will I actually play the content from the local dmp?  Can  I set this up on a schedual from the dmm just like I would if it was  playing from the local dmm?

    Yes, she may be scheduled as any other presentation.

    I suggest you have a look at the link below. He explains the steps required to configure the deployment package and read the content deployed with it.

    http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_2/DMM/user/guide/DMP/CDs.html#wp2188026

  • How to create several data on local storage scsi stores

    Hi all

    If you have a host ESX 3.5 local scsi storage with how you create multiple data warehouses. I would like to create 2 data warehouses. One for my virtual machine and one for my ISO. I tried 2 partitions VMFS3 partitioning at the time of the creation of ESX but when I remove the storage to rename it it only allow me to create 1 data store? Is this possible?

    Is there a downside to simply create a folder in 1 ISO called data store and empty my iso files it?

    I would also like to point out that I have only 1 raid controller

    you will need to manually partition the free space of the Service Console using fdisk.

    If its only for a store, I wouldn't bother.

    Just create a folder like you said yourself, without inconveniences, except that you have to watch out you don't fill your data with the ISOs and other stuff store.

  • best way to backup vms to local storage

    Hello

    I have an ESXi 3.5, which must be reinstalled with 4i version, but it is necessary to backup and later restore 3 VMs on that host. Is it possible to stop VMs, copy via SCP all folders (with files) to any other disk of windows (in the form of files) and after having reinstalled to ESXi4 copy him on newly created datastore? It will work without problems? If I understand well if I go to virtual machines and add to the inventory of these "backup" files then this VM will boot without any problems?

    Thanks for any response.

    After the resettlement and return the copy all files via SCP to the new data store and then search for VM, choosing good files VMX, which adds VM inventory and let it run without any problem?

    Yes, make sure you only back up (and restore) the entire VM folder.

    Hi MartySlaught,

    ·         You want to move the files in your user account on a different medium (external hard drive)?

    If so, you can do this only for your personal files. You can refer to the following.

    a. make sure that your external USB hard drive or a USB flash drive is connected to your computer.

    b. open the directory on your computer where are the files you want to transfer. Press 'Ctrl' key and click each file you want to transfer.

    c. click on the option "Move selected files" on the left side of the window. Then select the external USB hard disk or USB flash drive. The files will be moved from the computer to the external hard drive.

  • How can I get rid of the message "local storage"?

    How can I get rid of this message? Click on allow or deny does not get rid of it. It can also be moved and it sits just above the video, making the Flash Player completely useless. Thanks for any help.

    I found the answer.

    1. Click the right button (Windows) or by pressing the control key (Macintosh) the image of the application while it is running.
    2. In the context menu, select settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.

    There is no 'Settings' selection, but if you want to allow local storage for all sites choose "global settings".

  • How to stop the epidemic Pop of Local storage?

    1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups of Local storage, huh... lightweight pop up?

    2. the answer is Deny.    The answer is always refuse.        Is there a way I can put Flash so it always refuse any request to store information on my computer by default, thus avoiding the need to have to deal with these pop - ups ultra annoying?

    3. why has this pop up started appearing on my computer only weeks, but I've never seen before?

    4. Why does the pop-up disappear when I click on deny?      Sometimes it disappears, but often it will not.

    You can set it permanently in the Flash Player Settings Manager.

  • ESX 4 Local Storage Name Changed - can't change back

    Recently, I move my VMware farm.  When I got to the top, one of local storage devices came back as "Local (1).  I've never had one (1) about this before and now all VMS are orphans.  When I try to change the name back to just 'Local', he says that there is already, which it is not.  Somehow, VMware has become confused!

    Anyone knows how I can bring the 'Local' and the virtual machine without having to remove and re-add?  There are some VM who really "may not be moved" because of a restriction of the application.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    as you mentioned several blades, I assume you are also using vCenter Server.

    How have you tried to rename the data store, by connecting to vCenter Server or directly on the affected ESX Server?

    Maybe the vCenter DB contains an entry in database 'outdated' that block any operation rename.

    I saw similar problems when I tried to rename a data store, while it is directly connected to an ESX Server, which was managed by a vCenter server.

    I managed to rename the data store, but more or less immediately after it was renamed from the original name.

    So if possible, I would

    • disconnect/remove this host ESX to vCenter
    • connect the vSphere Client directly to the ESX Server
    • new attempt by renaming the local data store
    • Check the changes are permanent/accepted
    • Reconnect/add a return to vCenter ESX host

    Good luck

  • Local storage - economy/recovery of data on the Board animate

    I have a text called 'textfield' field and I'd like to save this information locally (it's a touch screen presentation) when you press a button.

    I´d also like to be able to retrieve the information in the field of text even after restarting the application.

    I ve read that it is possible with Local storage. But how can I do this? (I m for most a designer, but can do some code).

    Thank you!

    In the compositionReady event handler:

    Put this code:

    Enter the code to run when the composition is fully charged here

    var storedTxtData = localStorage ["textData"];

    If (storedTxtData! = undefined) {}

    SYM.$("textfield"). Text (storedTxtData);

    }

    And in save btn, click Manager:

  • It is possible and effective: high availability (failover) on 2 guests with local storage?

    Hello

    I have a discussion on the implementation of ha (failover) with 2 guests with local storage.

    My advice is to go with a shared storage. But there is another view, use the cluster failover MS with local storage service to save on the shared storage hardware.

    2 "mirorred" on each host machines. Is it feasible at all?

    The HughesNet: have 2 virtual machines (SQL server and server applications in a highly available environment). The workload of the machines will be raised to 2 very powerful servers that are supposed to be buying.

    1. Please briefly explain a feature of local storage to provide HA.

    2. I got to cluster in the virtual environment, not so I guess that the shared storage is used only in the virtual environment.

    Thank you.

    Michael.

    There is software that can replicate a running, physical or virtual machine to another accessible location on the network. This could be as simple that between two close hosted ESXi of VMS or high-speed WAN. Take a look at things like neverfail, doubletake others.  The costs would probably be a bit prohibitive in a smaller environment. It might be possible and maybe even practice to use a virtual storage device having a failover replication. Use of storage on each host and allows to provide the data store. Open-e

  • ESX upgrade affect the vm located in the local storage?

    Hi, guys

    We have just a plan to upgrade our host ESX 3.5 to 4.1 by Update Manager. But the question is that we have a few vm located in the local storage of the host. I would like to know if the upgrade affect those VMs. Or help him provide some Conference? Thank you very much!

    The upgrade is not supposed to affect virtual machines in a local data store. Just save them if you are worried and want to be even more cautious.

  • Local storage - lack of space for the backup snapshot?

    Hi all

    My apologies if this is an obvious question, but I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a question I have about our ESXi server.

    We run ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 III with 16 GB Ram and 200 GB RAID 5 15 K RPM SAS for local storage - we do not have a requirement for a SAN, etc. and I understand how 'best practice' implementation of ESXi and that local storage is not recommended.

    Our question is:

    We are running very low on the amount of local storage on the server and we use a Perl script every night to create a snapshot of a VM only we want to save that copies the original VM on a separate NAS device files. Apart from slow performance, this configuration works well for us. However, during the backup of the file snapshot obviously grew up with changes that are made and once the backup is complete he writes these returns to the original vmdk file (or so I think). Can anyone tell what would happen if we managed to create a snapshot at the beginning of the backup, but the server ran out of space before the backup finishes and commit the change snapshot... it would seriously damage our original server vmdk?

    If you would like more information on our installation program please let me know but I would like some advice before embark us on this... Thanks in advance.

    Stuart Little

    If the volume is running out of space, even if you have an active member of snapshot on a virtual computer it stops running (the VM will crash) and you will not be able to commit the snapshot (free space is needed for this). Always avoid the chance of a filling volume, especially if you are using snapshots, while you probably won't lose data if you handle it properly (move the virtual machine to a volume with storage or free space before attempting to commit the snap) you will have at least virtual machine downtime.

  • iCloud drive Local Storage Management on iOS

    I can imagine a circumstance in which an iCloud drive may contain enough files to exceed the capacity of storage available for an iOS device.

    1. does anyone know how iOS handles this situation?

    2. in general, are all the files in the iCloud drive copied down for iOS devices, or is it only meta data to iOS show the structure of the disk allowing iOS to download copies of files on demand?

    With Dropbox, you must manually choose which files you want stored locally on your iOS device. I'm guessing that Apple tried to relieve users from having to think about this issue and they designed the iOS to just do the right thing by managing local storage automatically and gracefully.

    Only, they are copied to your device when you open then (with some exceptions). If you start running out of room, your device will delete them intelligently...
