How to span multiple LUNS on one (or less) data store (s) in Vmware ESXi 4.1 vSphere environment?

Hey guys -.

I currently have 2 hosts ESXi (version 4.1u3), 1 vCenter Server and 1 EMC VNXe3300 SAN (20 to via iSCSI) that make my virtual environment.

On the EMC is, you create VMware Datastores (which have a limit of 2 TB) then connect these data storage to VMware ESXi hosts.  Once logged in, would continue it the process through the Add Storage Wizard via VMware to connect the disk/LUN storage via iSCSI.  Ultimately, the Lun (s) would then be accessed through the virtual environment (in the Configuration > storage > data warehouses) as generally expected.

Due to the limit of 2 TB (both on the CEM, Version of VMware and VMFS3) on data warehouses, I find myself with having several data warehouses being created on the side of the EMC and VMware (see photo) appearance.  I know that's not rectifiable via CEM level, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to bring together all these data stores on the side of things VMware.  This way rather than navigate to Configuration > storage > data warehouses and separate iSCSI indicator 6 data warehouses, it would just be a (or more, but less than the existing) data store; It would then extend in all actual data stores that I would.

I don't know what the appropriate terminology is used to describe it, but I hope someone can help me to what I want to achieve.  Or at the very least, can you please steer me in the right direction.  If this isn't something that can be achieved or it is discouraged, what are the other options which would be recommended?

Thanks for the help.

  • How do divide you a virtual machine between two data stores?

    We just installed a new SAN ICSI and created an ISCSI target on it. We have created a new data store on our server ESXi 4.0 and reminded our Iscsi target. Our virtual machines have two logical drives, for the system partition C: and E: for data. At present, all virtual machines are residing on the 1 data store, which is located on the local hard drives of the esxi server. How pass readers E: of the virtual machine to the SAN and let C: readers where they are?

    Hello

    Or if you don't have a Vmotion, you can use stand-alone Vcenter converter to migrate your VM on the same ESXi host. and during this process on the Advanced tab, you can divide your virtual disks in the desired data store. You can keep the C: drive as it is on the same data store and add new vmdk and select its data store that you want, and then can move E: or D: drive until the new vmdk.

    In this way, you can split your C: and other disks on different vmware disks on different data warehouses.

    Let me know if it helps.

    Kind regards

  • How to add a logic unit with an existing data store number

    I have a logic unit number I replicated from a SAN at a data center in a SAN to another data center. I want to map this LUN to a cluster of ESX 4 and use the store of existing data on the LUN to recover the virtual machines it contains. What is the best way to do it? Guests will see the existing data store, when I rescan HBAS or y at - it a trick to add a data store existing cluster?

    It's a separate LUN on a different SAN mapped to another set of hosts. Once I have a new analysis for the new LUNS and data warehouses, store data on this LUN will display in the list of data stores to then browse data warehouses and register virtual machines on it?  Or still do I add storage and first select the existing data store?

    Given that the hosts did not see the original LUN before, the data store should appear just after the new analysis.

  • 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.

  • How to move multiple layers of one file to another?

    I used to have Photoshop CS4 and displacement of the layers between files was so easy - as long as I had chosen, I could drag all or in the menu layer or image and drop them in the other file. Now, I have Photoshop elements 14, and no matter what I do, it doesn't seem like I can move several layers at the same time. Just one at a time. And the layer must be visible to move - I didn't used to have to do it in CS4. It's extremely frustrating because I have more than 50 PSDs premade, I use for editing photos, and I would like to be able to move each individual each PSD layer in each file of the photo, so I can test most / all of them to see what works best with the photo. If I can only move one layer at a time, which makes the slow work to a crawl. I really need to be able to simply select all the PSD files and pass at once - and they should not have to be visible in order to move them. Can someone tell me how to proceed? I'm new so the use of the elements, and it seems so different from CS4, I'm having a lot of trouble with this transition

    SHIFT select the layers that you want to copy/move with the right button of the mouse and choose Duplicate Layer (or the menu Layer/Duplicate layer...). A dialog box asking where you want to copy them to appear. Under the 'document' option, choose a new document or an existing PSD that you opened.

  • How to combine multiple PDFs into one document?

    A printer told me some time ago when I bought a few things, I can combine PDF files into one pdf. Can someone tell me how you do it, and do this with pdf that are the size of the different documents? I'm an invitation, program, cards and certificates for an awards ceremony, and wanted to know if I can combine all my pdf in a big pdf, even if they are all of different sizes.

    Thanks for any help!

    Even easier in Acrobat 9 (have nothing installed earlier to check): file > combine > merge files into a single PDF file...

    You must have a full version of Acrobat, possibly Pro, player not only.

  • How to put multiple avi into one?

    I BOUGHT THE CAMILEO S20 YESTERDAY AND I REALIZED THAT WHENEVER I HAVE TO RECORD A VIDEO, IT CREATES A NEW AVI.
    IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONNECT ALL AVI AND ONLY A DVD OR AVI?

    Everything is possible. For this you need some additional software.
    I don't have this camera, but you have a software with it?

    If this isn't the case, Google bit. There is plenty of software available to achieve this. As far as I know, you can do it with Nero 7 (nerovision).

    One last thing, check if your DVD player play avi or MP4 files. You can burn a couple of avi files to a DVD-R as data without conversion disc and see if it will play in your DVD player. You can also refer to the manual of the player to check it. Anyway if it does not play avi files, you can now burn all your avi files in a DVD data disc. You can put 5 or 6 avi files with 650 to 700 MB size in a 4.5 GB DVD-r. This will be the fastest method. When you play the DVD in the player, the menu will be similar as a list of files in Windows Explorer. You can burn your files in this way with Nero Express, Nero Burning Rom or your other burner that lets you burn regular files in a DVDR.

    If your DVD player doesn't play avi files, you can use Nero vision to create a video DVD and just continue to add your avi files to add a video window and see the number that fit into your DVDR disc. This is the long way since before burning, Nero Vision reencode files (convert) videos in a nother file that will be played by your DVD player. You can make your own menus here, and it helps the other options which will look like reading the menu of commercial DVDs. Hope.

  • How to print multiple images on one sheet in Photoshop CC?

    I can't even select several images, surely there must be an easier way to use layers to create a collage? So far, I used a bunch of Easy-PhotoPrint EX, but I need something more professional now? You print multiples of Photoshop or another package? I am able to size and print a single picture, but not multiple on the same page? I print a lot of photos can not do the thing layer each time.

    Maddiex wrote:

    I love the layers Photoshop and actions and use them widely, but for now just want to know if there is an automatic function fast somewhere to print more precisely four 6 x 4 "images or two 8 x 12" (which have been properly dimensioned or not) on a page A4 of CC of Photoshop.

    Although I wrote the PasteImageRoll script to print a lot of images on roll paper. There is no reason that it cannot be used to cut paper.  Image not be size or rotation.  The script that manages. Script is much more powerful Actions.   The script will calculate the number of the column of image that fits across the width of the paper, you set and will not work if the number of images that you select does not fit in the length of paper that you set is left on the paper roll.  So if you have 13 "x 19" paper cut as 19 "has left your 100 foot 13" wide roll of paper.  So, if the value 300 DPI, 1 copy of photos 13 "wide paper, 1.75 feet to the left, 4" wide 6 "high. 25 "border. 25 "grout and rotate to the right. You can select any image 9 in a folder and the size of the tiles fit 4 "x 6".  If the image did not have a portrait or a landscape images of sizes 3:2 aspect ratio will focus virtual crops. The image is not cropped they are hidden. You can manually change the culture by moving the image before printing.  If you omit the borders and the grout the document create will be 12 "x 18" with the 13 "x 19" http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx "

    * pretty new to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.WeVideo_3.jpg

    Hi James,

    I'm not the best editor here, but that's what I'd do:

    • Put 4 videos on video tracks V1, V2, V3 and V4. (You will need to add V4)
    • Select V1, go in the effect control panel and change the scale and Position of the V1. (shrink V1 and place it in a corner)
    • Similarly, select V2 and place it in another corner.
    • Follow the same steps to place V3 and V4 accordingly.

  • How to move a virtual machine to a different data store, preserving its ID

    I would like to move a virtual machine to a different data store.

    Because I use 3rd party software that identifies a virtual machine by its ID of VirtualCenter, I'd like to preserve the ID, and I also want to preserve the name of the virtual computer.

    If I clone the virtual machine, I lose the ID and name.

    I can clone a second time to restore the name, but the ID is always false.

    I know that I can use vmkfstools-i to copy the entire disk.

    Is it possible to copy the entire VM?

    I am currently on ESX 3.0.2/VC 2.0.2

    The operation that I describe is available in 3.5.x/VC ESX 2.5.x

    TIA,

    -Magister

    Don't use EVER of CP to copy a VM, VMDK move/copy should be used in conjunction with vmkfstools as best practice.

    OP,

    You can manually make a copy using the CLI interface or use the VI Client and browse the data store and to copy and paste in the appropriate data and as suggested Andre store, when you switch on for the first time, you should say 'keep' when asked if you want to update the virtual machine UUID.

    Another thing, you could do, is if you've enabled for vMotion, you can actually use Storage vMotion which will migrate directly from your virtual machine to a different data store, it's less effort on your side and you can count on Andrew Kutz sVMotion plugin: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vip-svmotion/
