• How to use a form created on the Capture of a vector

  People, I'm having difficulties to find out how to use a form created on the Capture of a vector. For example, I open Illustrator on my desk and, although the form is saved in a creative library of clouds, I can't find how to open this archive as a vector. I tried everything from capture, but then I can just export the shape as a bitmap image. I'm really lost on this.

  Hello Cristina,

  In Illustrator, simply drag the shape of your library panel in an open document. That's all there is to it.

• Script to get the ID of the new LUN to create the data store

  Forgive the question from a novice - I'm not a developer at all.

  I am trying to write a script that will create a data store on a new iSCSI LUN - the problem is that I have already several other LUNS with the warehouses of data on it, so after I refresh the HBA, basically need to understand is that the new LUN and create a store of data on it.

  I made all sorts of googling and found scripts to create a new store database, but only in the first store of data on a new iSCSI target.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I see the barebone specification and seem that your controller is a 'soft' RAID

  Take a look at the configuration of the SATA controller.

  When your drive will be recognized as/dev/sdXX, then you can create your data store.

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

• How to create the data store with multiple LUNS

  Someone could please tell me that how can I have multiple LUNS in a single data store, is it possible?

  See the "Storage management" section in the document provided in the previous comment. You are probably looking for information on page 104.

• Cannot create the data store: the current licence or ESXi version prohibited the execution of the requested operation.

  using vicfg-nas I am unable to create/remove a datastore nfs on my lab running esxi 6 at home. Is this not supported? Listing them works well. I can create/delete data warehouses nfs using the client to vcenter very well, but it's a little embarrassing.

  I guess that the host is allowed with the free edition of hypervisor! One of the few restrictions of the free version of hypervisor is access to the API. In order to have "write access" (i.e. change things rather than the list of them) you must run the host in evaluation mode, or license (Essentials or better).

• How to put a CustomField on a data store?

  Hi all

  I tried:

  Get-myDS data store | game-customfield-myName-name-value myValue

  but no luck.

  I also note:

  $myDS = get-myDS data store

  $myDS.extensiondata

  There is a field called:

  "CustomValue.

  How to fill this extensiondata. CustomValue field?

  Even if I can't put a customfield via whole-customfield, is there a solution or a hack to store a value for a data store?

  concerning

  marc0

  I'm afraid that the New-CustomField and New-CustomAttribute in the current construction of PowerCLI don't support data warehouses.

  But you can use the CustomFieldManager to manage the fields custom data warehouses.

  First get the CustomFieldManager object.

  $cfMgr = get-view customfieldsmanager

  To create a new field, you can make

  $cfMgr.AddCustomFieldDef ("Test", "Datastore", $null, $null)

  This method returns the CustomField object. It is important to store this somewhere, because you will need the Key property in the following methods.

  You can also get this key by enumerating the fields available for any data store

  PS C:\ > $ds = Get - Datastore - name MyDS

  PS C:\ > $ds. ExtensionData.AvailableField

  Key: 591
  Name: Test
  Type: string
  ManagedObjectType: data store
  FieldDefPrivileges:
  FieldInstancePrivileges:
  DynamicType:

  To assign a value to the new field

  $cfMgr.SetField($ds.) Extensiondata.MoRef, 591, "A value") "

  To retrieve the value of the custom field

  $ds. ExtensionData.CustomValue | where {$_.} Key - eq 591}

  DynamicType DynamicProperty key value
  -----                                          --- -----------              ---------------
  A value                                        591

  Note that these custom fields of the data store are not visible in the vSphere client!

• How can I add records to my data store?

  I recently installed hypervisor, but when I look at the section data stores and devices of the Configuration tab in vSphere client I see only 2 datastore with 1 of my disks added.

  Under devices, I see all the records in the list, so I tried to add storage for data warehouses. Running through the wizard, I can see the drives, but when I select one and then I get an error of the stack 'call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions' of object 'ha-datastoresystem' on ESXi "x.x.x.x" failed. "

  My server is not on the HCL, but it does not pass the test hardware. It uses a SATA ICH10 controller, which can be configured as a RAID controller. I tried to change settings in the BIOS for RAID or IDE base, but VMware can see that the first disc (they are all on the same controller).

  Is the issue because of the RAID? That is the hypervisor can install on an environment not RAID, but to create virtual machines, a supported RAID controller will be necessary? I've seen other reviews in the forum suggesting that no RAID should work, but not recommended due to performance issues. For our Organization and the use of this server, performance is not going to be critical, because it will be used as a dev server and we are happy to lose a bit of performance.

  Can anyone tell if you saw this problem, and how it is resolved? The disks are 4 x 2 TB SATA WDC

  Thank you

  You mentioned that you had two discs showing that data warehouses? If you have already installed and configured ESXi and created virtual machines I remove disks and use another machine to set records. There are several linux rescue disks and almost any net for a standard linux distribution installation disc should work as well. It is possible to use the Technical Support in ESXi to do as well, but you may lose your current installation.

• Machine virtual IOPS / s report, how to display the name of the data store?

  Hi guys

  I am new to the Foglight community, this is a great tool, and I learn a lot.

  Currently I am trying to create a simple table that will show me metric of my VMware environment: Virtual Machine name, Datastore IOPS and data store.

  However I can't find how to include data store name in the table, because it is not a measure of the Virtual Machine. I think I need to expand the scope of my table to include VMware Datastore, but I don't know how to do this.

  -Mark

  

  Check the options available it seems that it can be done with WCF (the frame behind the Foglight dashboards).  We recommend generally customers who plan to build views WCF take adequate training or our PSO people engaged in it.

  In any case I can help show a quick example of how it's done.

  Please try this on a local/test server.

  Go to Configuration > definition >

  

  Make sure that you are in my definition, and click the icon to add a view. then choose from the tables and trees - oriented line table

  

  Give a name to the view, go public and make a portlet/reportlet and apply

  

  Switch to the configuration tab and click the change for the lines and choose a query

  Under query, expand the VMware and scroll down

  

  Until you can select the query for virtual machines

  

  And press the set button.

  Your view should look like this

  

  Now you must select the columns.

  Each column has a value you can edit and there is a button + to add additional columns.

  Lets start with the name of the virtual machine - click on the button to change to your default column and choose the context.

  

  Click on the drop down menu to enter key and choose the current line (virtual vmware machine)

  

  Click on the drop down menu to access path and scroll down until you can select the name and then click on set.

  

  You have created a table that lists the names of all virtual machines.

  You can click on save. and then click test, choose a time and click the result. A new window will open a show the list you of virtual machines.
  From here you can continue to add additional columns, each time choosing the key entry in the current line and the path to the metric/string to display.

  For example, the name of the data store.
  I change the module

  

  Click the configuration tab and click the icon to add a column

  

  For the column value, that I chose defined context once again, the key input is the current row and for the path, I expand the node for the data store

  

  And scroll until I see the Proprietename

  

  If you save and test you will see the result

  

  Keep adding columns and the data you want, notice that you have arrows that allow you to control the order of the columns.

  Note that you can click Show advanced configuration properties

  

  This will give you the opportunity to see the properties of the extra table, such as header - giving you the opportunity to give a more meaningful name (name of the data store, the name of the virtual machine, etc.) to the column header.

  

  You can now go you drag and drop the table edge/report and under my eyes, you will see your new view

  

  Drop it in the main view

  

  I hope this has given you the starting point to build this table.

  As I said, I strongly recommend going through our WCF training if you plan build more custom views or hire software Dell PSO Organisation to help build you views that correspond to your need.

  Best regards

• How to make instant consolidation if the data store is out of disk space...

  Hello

  I have a virtual machine that has left many of the snapshot files and now can consolidate using the tool (he always said of disk space to make the consolidation)

  The data store have now 60 GB of free space when the space data store maximum disk is 850 GB and the busy VVMM over almost 700 GB of disk space...

  Can I attach a 3 TB USB drive to the ESXi server and move all the files through or another way to do...

  HELP ~ ~

  With the disk space required on drive E, it may be useful to consider an alternative:

  • create a (much smaller) another virtual disk
  • Stop all of the services entering drive E
  • Copy the data from drive E more to the new virtual disk (for example using robocopy)
  • switch drive letters
  • Once everything is working as expected, get rid of the old virtual disk

  This will not only reduce the disk space used on the data store, but also to ensure that the virtual disk cannot grow more.
