• vSphere ESXi 5.5: creating data warehouses

  I installed vSphere ESXi 5.5 on a system of self-build and downloaded VIClient her... everything connects very well.

  The system itself is an Intel Core i5 with 8 GB of ram and an Office CT pro Intel network card. Records are:

  • IBM 32 GB SSD (the ESXi OS is installed on this and can be seen fine... of course I guess).
  • a SATA III 1.5 TB drive
  • a disc of 2 TB SATA III

  The system can see the other readers, but when I try to create data stores that I can use, I get the error:

  Call 'HostStorageSystem.ComputeDiskPartitionInfo' to object 'storage system' on ESXi 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' failed.

  Anyone has any idea why this would be and if I can do something? The only things I can think of existing partitions (it certainly is on the smaller disk as it was originally a server system 2008) or some kind of requirement for specific formatting, first.

  James

  This could be a problem with the current data on the disk. I suggest clean you the partition info using the DD explained to the KB VMware: Troubleshooting in the add storage Wizard error: cannot read this disk partition information to see if that solves the problem.

• ESXi 5.1 and VMFS-3 data warehouses

  We have an existing environment to ESX 3.5 Update 5 7 host and an EMC CX3-10 x iSCSI SAN. We go to decomission 2 ESX hosts and replace them with hardware ESXi 5.1 and recent guests. We realize that we no longer able to manage these hosts ESXi from our Virtual Center 2.5 console, but these two hosts will run a minimum number of virtual machines (Exchange 2010 multirole) that don't use VMotion, DRS and HA.

  Our understanding is that ESX5.1 can see and use VMFS-3 data warehouses. Is it true that, once we plugged the new 5.1 ESXi hosts to our SAN and you can see all the existing LUN that we should be able to stop the virtual machines on two ESX 3.5 hosts and start the virtual machines on the host ESX 5.1 computers?

  Everyone has problems running ESXi 5.1 with VMFS-3 data warehouses?

  Some data warehouses VMFS-3 existing could be improved to VMFS-5 because they are only used by the virtual machines that work on 5.1 ESXi hosts. But some of the data warehouses VMFS-3 existing is not extensible because they are used by the virtual machines running on ESX 3.5 other hosts. In other words, a single virtual machine can have virtual drives running on the VMFS-3 and VMFS-5 warehouses of data at the same time?

  Thank you

  Jay

  VMFS version isn't a problem. What I am more concerned by the fact that your storage system is not supported by ESXi 5.1.

• Please help me. What is the best antivirus? capable of detecting all viruses

  Please help me. What is the best antivirus? capable of detecting all viruses

  I would recommend mse, and here is the important part, XP as a limited user. If you are running as an administrator, a virus can make any chages to your system, including tampering with any AV you have installed, mse, windows firewall up and running as a limited user must provide a lot of protection,

  http://voices.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2006/05/the_importance_of_the_limited.html

  running as a limited user can be an inconvience initially, but once you learn how to adapt to it, your pc will be more secure and your exoierence of the user shouldn't be touched that.

• 5.5u2 ESXi host will not mount CF data warehouses

  I am the admin in a test lab, so many times I have to "make do" with what I have for the material.  I recently reassigned a R910 Dell with 64 GB memory in a 5.5u2 ESXi host.  It has some storage SAS (2.5 to) and some (CT 11) directly connected FC storage and some FC HBAs for use by VMs to send data to the tape library.

  Recently, we had a power failure, and this host does not reconnect to the CF storage when she returned to the top.  (Duty to "make do" with what I means not having is not the capabilities of UPS).  I can tell the host of HBA see it properly and sees the LUNS on RAID controllers, but refuses to mount.  I go through the add storage Wizard, and he sees that there is a store of data storage VMFS, but always refuses to mount.  I also tried to remove the redirection to the two FC HBA that have been set up for this purpose, but it made no difference.

  I have now three users unable to work because they cannot access their virtual machines on storage of this FC.  I can't even transfer them off to use the SAS storage form.

  I think it might be the cause file system damage, but I'm not sure.  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Have you ever tried to set up data warehouses from the command line (see, for example, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387)?

• ESXi 4.1 upgrade to ESXi 5.5 while all virtual machines and data warehouses

  We have two servers ESXi 4.1.0 348481 (Essentials) and we need to upgrade to ESXi 5.5 for support of Windows Server R2 2012. We intend to use the interactive upgrade. We want to ensure that the virtual machine is preserved. More precisely VMFarm001 where ESXi is installed in the same data store as VMServer1. VMServer1 is our largest server and cannot be migrated to another data store easily because we are not allowed for vMotion.

  The following layout

  VMFarm001

  Dell PowerEdge R710

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 1.36 TB

  VMServer1 - MS Server 2003

  Install ESXi

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer2 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer3 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMFarm002

  HP ProLiant ML350 G5

  Data store:

  Storage1 - 95GB

  Install ESXi

  ISOs

  Storage2 - 1.82 TB

  VMServer4 - MS Server 2008 R2

  VMServer5 - MS Server 2008 R2

  I have a feeling I'm worried for nothing given that option during the ESXi upgrade and keep the VMFS datastore.

  Thank you

  Yes, that's correct.

  I recently finished the upgrade of lots of stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1 (with local storage only) to 5.1 and all were successful. The same process applies to 5.5, so you shouldn't have a problem with preservation of VMFS data warehouses (and all virtual machines).

• Rename local data warehouses of ESXi host

  Hello

  How to rename local data warehouses of 5.0 ESXi hosts.

  Is it simple; Vsphere Client > right click on the local data store > rename?

  Or host must be in maintenance, or reduced, something like that?

  Thank you

  Mihir

  The ESXi host internally uses the data UUID store rather than its "friendly" name

  Example: / vmfs/volumes/3dfd1a21-63969d0d-8d9b-004328272635 /.

  That is why - as mentioned in the other responses - rename a datstore can be done at any time without affecting the functionality.

• "Unable to create the virtual SCSI device to the scsi: 0:0" import *. EGGS in ESXi 5.1u2

  Hi, I need to deploy a VM of *.ova in my cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts u2 (1900470), but when I try to run it I get this error:

  Unable to start the virtual machine.

  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.

  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:0, ' / vmfs/volumes/51e7fc6b-85806744-fb38-0021286bb22a/xxx.vmdk'

  Unable to create the virtual device. Stack 16 or 255 sectors per track is not supported.

  
  

  The same deployment works in another cluster with 5.1 ESXi hosts (700733) and on my vmware workstation 10.

  I have tryied compatibility material upgrade\downgrade with wmware workstation and download directly to my host but still do not

  I formatted the hard drive hard by ssh and readded to the inventory, I tried to convert vm to work cluster... nothing to see...

  Any suggestions? Thank you

  Solved! I don't know why but the import of virtual machines with 5.1u2 ESXi, heads, and sectors in *.vmdk file are reversed:

  BEFORE:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "16".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "255".

  AFTER:

  ddb.geometry.biosHeads = "255".

  ddb.geometry.biosSectors = "16".

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "16".

  Connect to a host with SSH and editing *.vmdk file with VI will be the virtual machine starts without problems!

• Fully connecting directly attached data warehouses in a cluster of ESXi?

  I have deployed two identical 5.1 ESXi hosts (servers Dell PowerEdge r720xd) each to 5,46 with storage to direct connection. They are both currently enrolled in our vCenter Server 5.1 and participate in a HA cluster. Their respective databases are also members of a group of data store.

  Each host is connected to its own data store, but not the other host data store. This effectively disables most of the HA/DTS features, and connection status of host for each data store is marked with a warning for missing connections. We have desire of VM migration and load balancing between the two hosts and the warehouses of data to be as homogeneous and transparent as possible.

  My question is simple: what is the most practical and effective way to establish the necessary connections to reach a State fully connected to hosts and data warehouses?

  Hello

  in this case you need something like a virtual appliance that uses your local storage to make it a shared storage. Your hosts can then access the storage via iSCSI/NFS. At the end of the day, you will have the space of a single node left (CT ~ 5.46), because the device (s) will reflect your data for more security against failure of the host.

  The easiest way would probably be the vSphere Storage Appliance

  But there are also other solutions as a virtual of DataCore and HP StoreVirtual VSA facility.

• Upgrade to ESXi 5.0 to 5.1 - No Hardware 9 option available when creating a new virtual machine

  Greetings,

  I improved my esxi U1 5.0 to 5.1 and attempted to create a new virtual machine in hopes of using the new version of material 9.

  Using the standard and Custom options I been unable to create a Version 9 hardware VM by default.

  The only option I had was manually upgrade to version 9 once the virtual machine was created.

  Any thought or is - this as planned? I need to reinstall from scratch, my host?

  dhayashi

  To create virtual machines with HW version 9, you can use the Web Client, rather than the windows based Client vSphere.

• VMware ESXi 5.0 guest OS copy to external storage

  Hi, I'm new to VMware and installed the 5.0 ESXi hypervisor. I have converted 2 physical servers to him, one of them took about 18hours to convert because of the very large disks.

  That is the question: I'm upgrading the physical disks in my server to increase storage capacity and would like to copy the 2 VMS I earlier converted to an external USB storage device and then copy to the new data store that I create using disk newly installed. How can I do this or can you tell me the documents that describe how to do this.

  Thank you very much

  André.

• ESXi 4.1 change the selection of trace on data warehouses

  ESXi 4.1, I have a couple of data warehouses that were not configured correctly. The selection of the path is set to fixed, while the other data stores have alternate-control storage IO. I'm looking for the less risky/disruptive way to change the configuration of these data stores. There are 15 ESX hosts.

  When to change the configuration of the data store is all for example conditions pre move VMs in another data store, stop the virtual machines etc.. Y at - it any disturbance to the ESX host?

  Hello

  Changing paths is not disruptive and can be done online, as long as takes care of the storage and SAN network is in good health.

  Validate it seems that some are on Round Robin and I presume that it is on the same storage array.

  You can do this by running a PowerCli script to modify the path selection: Home

  I don't have the scrip to activate SOIC

• Navigation of data warehouses ESXi or manipulating files ESXi

  Hi all

  Quick question: with my hosts ESXi 4.1, I use the device of vCLI, vMA and PowerCLI to interact with guests on a daily basis.

  One thing I have not discovered how to is still browing storages of data as you do when you SSH to the host so that I can display and manipulate the vmx files, etc..

  Does anyone know if it's possible with, say VMA? I would like to know what are my options without activating Remote TSM.

  Thanks in advance,

• ESXI 4.1 will not detect the RAID 5 array

  Hi all

  I try to install ESXI on a HP ML350 G6.  When I configure the table as a RAID 5, ESXI detects the logical drive, but watch used and 0 bytes of free space I would install it.  If I reformat the table to a RAID 10, ESXI it detects perfectly.  I really need to have it configured as a RAID 5.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Welcome to the Forums - what size are a table you are trying to create? VMware ESX and ESXi can access tables less then 2 TB in size-

• How to speed up the transfer of files to and from data warehouses ESXi

  Hi people!

  Our company has a large number of

  VMware ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 servers. (Note: this is not the free ESXi, the)

  Paid ESX Server.) They generally work very well for us. The only area of

  problem I have is to transfer files to and from data warehouses on

  the machines.

  Because we do not have the ESX Server paid, I can't

  use vMotion or VirtualCenter to transfer virtual machines from one location

  to the other. So, if I need to move a virtual machine to a different host,

  the only solution I have is to download the VM

  files of the database on a local or network drive and then download

  paste them into the new data store, using the vSphere Client. The problem

  with this is that I found it is extremely slow. This may take

  hours just to copy a virtual machine.

  Does anyone know of one

  best way to do that would reduce the transfer time?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Use veeam fastscp 3.0 its freeware. You can connect n number of esxi server.

  You can move or copy directly from one server to another server...
