Hypervisor ESXi6 and sharing of NAS storage

• vMotion and Shared vs Local storage

  Greetings to all

  It does not say much on the local storage in my book by Lowe.

  In fact its as if no one is using to vSphere5 without an external storage array any.

  It indicates that 'the shared storage' is required for vMotion.

  But I when I talked to a vMWare engineer said he local storage will work as a shared storage.

  Kind of confused here. I saw that this mentioned anywhere.

  We have two new servers Dell with ESXi5.

  They have discs SAS6 6 x 300 G each. It's our storage.

  We want the ability to run vMotion between these two servers.

  Can it be configured to be a storage shared in vCenter Server or when you add a virtual machine?

  Thanks in advance.

  Yes, there is an extra charge - this doc prepares aid http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2002309

• VMWARE HA and shared storage

  Dear friends

  I have two questions regarding vmware HA.

  (1) vmware HA can be used with NFS (for example a pc linux with nfs shares)

  (2) if I understand vmware HA ensures restoration between different hosts ESX share the same files vmdk via a shared iSCSI or SAN or NAS storage. What happens if the shared storage goes down? Can someone tell me how we can provide HA for the shared storage?

  Thank you

  (1) Yes

  2 HA) cannot do anything to help you with the failure of your shared storage space.  You will need to protect on the backend storage through some type of redundancy/replication.

• NETWORKING AND SHARING FILES IN WINDOWS 7

  As stated, I am putting in place on my simple file sharing network. Previously, it was only between two Macintosh computers, a Windows 7 machine and storage machine. Now, I want to add another laptop and PC - both running Windows 7 - to the network and connect to the storage machine, until then known as 'the server '.

  The laptop connect through wi - fi. The PC and Macintosh computers connect via ethernet. They are all on the same network. This network uses WPA2-PSK security. The parameters of sharing on all Windows PCs, including the server include:

  NETWORK DISCOVERY: WE

  FILE & PRINTER SHARING: WE

  PUBLIC FOLDERS SHARING: WE

  MEDIA STREAMING: WE

  FILE SHARING CONNECTIONS: 40/56 BITS

  SHARING PROTECTED BY WORD: OFF

  HOMEGROUP: USE ACCOUNTS USERS & PASSWORDS

  The same settings apply to public networks.

  In addition, every single player in all Windows computers have the following parameters:

  ADVANCES OF SHARING: SHARE THIS FOLDER

  USERS OF LIMIT: 20

  PERMISSIONS: EVERYONE

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  CHANGE: ALLOW

  READ: ALLOW

  SECURITY: ADMINISTRATORS, AUTHENTICATED USERS + USER + SYSTEM

  TOTAL CONTROL: ALLOW

  EDIT: ALLOWS

  READ & EXECUTE: ALLOW

  CONTENTS OF THE FOLDER: ENABLE

  READ: ALLOW

  SPECIAL PERMISSIONS: HIDDEN

  However, I am not able to see some readers on some of the computers or encounter errors like this:

  WINDOWS CANNOT ACCESS \\SERVER\G

  YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED ACCESS TO \\SERVER\G. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR TO REQUEST ACCESS.

  
  When I click on "for more information, see Help and Support ', I am asked the following questions to which you will find listed answers:

  YOU HAVE NOT CREATED OR JOINED A WORKING GROUP
  I don't want to use the working groups.
  

  YOU DO NOT USE A HOMEGROUP, AND THE FOLDER OR PRINTER YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCESS HAS NOT BEEN SHARED
  I'm not interested by your nonsense whatever group, thank you.
  

  NETWORK DISCOVERY IS TURNED OFF
  No, it isn't.
  

  PASSWORD PROTECTED SHARING IS ENABLED
  No, it isn't!
  

  THE COMPUTERS ARE NOT IN THE SAME WORKGROUP
  They are not because I'm not interested in the use of working groups.
  

  YOUR COMPUTER DOES not UPDATE FOR YOUR ITINERARY R
  It's supposed to be a joke or some jerk programmer think actually it was useful to distance?

  In fact, when I try to create a homegroup of the server, I don't see is a 'Register' button and clicking on that joined a homegroup belonging to one of Windows laptops for a silly reason. There is NO setting to CREATE a homegroup. I am only able to join an existing homegroup.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  TL:DR

  All I want to do is freely share files between devices approved on my secure network. Gage rocket science, Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, I don't want no part of it.

  Where is the "DISABLE all BLOODY SECURITY AND SHARE THE GODDAMNED FILES"button in Windows 7?

  Hi Nicky,

  Apologize for the delay in response.

  We understand your frustration, but the problem you are having is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I suggest you to post the same question on the TechNet forums, since we have a dedicated support and they will be able to answer the same.

• How can I migrate an ESXi host since a vDS in a vSwitch with NAS storage on vDS

  I need to move some on a vDS esxi hosts to a standard vSwitch to move a new vCenter ESXi hosts

  I have two 10 GB network adapters that manage the ports VM, NAS storage and vmotion.

  Is there a documented procedure to move a vDS in a vSwitch, particularly for migration from NAS storage to a vSwitch?

  Thank you

  Tom

  No, you will need to do this on a per-host basis.

  I really recommend doing one by one, not in a hurry and checking all the networking before you proceed to the next step. Example: after migrating the vmkernel interfaces, check on a ssh connection to the host if it can vmkping the NAS. Before you move all the virtual machines on the host to the switch std, move one and check if the VM networking continues to function. This will prevent errors and downtime.

• Lightroom loses the files on a network (NAS) storage disk

  I use Lightroom 5.7 on a PC under Windows 7 64-bit.

  A couple of weeks, I've installed a network (NAS) storage system as I was running out of HDD space.  I created a logical drive on the NAS for the Photos.  In Lightroom, I dragged photo on the new drive files.  Backup and catalogue files remained on the internal hard drive.

  My photos are arranged in chronological order, in directories (years) and its subdirectories (days, named using the format "2014_12_31").

  Since files on the NAS, Lightroom has been giving me some error messages in the develop module, that it cannot find the files.  Previews discovers very well in the library module, and the files are still there when I look for them in Windows Explorer.  The errors do not occur in the directories subdirectories integers (years) (days) - only some files in the respective subdirectories are affected.  And only the files of 2015 seem to have the problem.  And, when I drag the directories back on my internal hard drive (again, within Lightroom), the errors disappear and everything works fine.

  See the instructions on how to connect back to Lightroom for NAS: Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

• Access NAS storage of ESXi Server using VMKernel Port?

  Hello

  I would like to know the best procedure to connect to the NAS storage of ESXi host 5. I am able to connect to the NAS storage according to the screenshots listed in the link below.

  http://www.tintri.com/blog/2011/11/connecting-vSphere-to-NFS-the-easy-way/

  But, I saw different configurations in the past where port dedicated VMkernel is assigned to NAS and all storage goes into network 10 G. I try to do the same and created a VMkernel for NAS port. But I don't think that traffic is going over there as it is not used at all.

  I gave the IP address of the ESXi server on the NAS box to get access. I couldn't give address IP VMkernel sideways NAS. How can I make use of this IP VMKernel dedicated NFS storage?

  I want to implement the best way to pass NAS 10 G network traffic. In addition, How can I test if storage traffic crosses VMkernel port?

  Suggestions needed.

  Virtualinfra is right that you must use a different subnet for NFS traffic. You masked the IP range, so I don't see what you use, but make sure that the vmkernel and storage using a single subnet, not the management subnet. If you get an error, your use of a subnet that goes out the default gateway of the management port, or that you are using the same subnet.

  I wrote a few articles on the use of NFS with vSphere: http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/04/19/nfs-on-vsphere-a-few-misconceptions/

  Also, make sure that the vmnic can route traffic on that subnet, as in the case of the use of VLANs.

• Cannot use local shared with replica storage of SSD

  So I had my environment from view for a while and everything works fine, but I have a question on how discovers works with the local replica SSD disks.  I read in the forums and in the document architecture and design if you use a local SSD to store your replicas (that will give you a performance gain), you cannot have your host in a cluster, thus renouncing HA and all the features that come with in a cluster of ESXi.

  However, I meet me a further restriction that I couldn't find any mention of in the forums or documentation, namely that you cannot store the clones in a shared storage if you have a replica on the local disk.  Whenever I got to the stage of commissioning and selected a FC LUN shared as the storage for the linked clones container, the pool would tell me that there not available and there no validation.  However, if I create a LUN that ONLY the host which I use to store the replica on the SSD has access to, then the commissioning is fine.  So my question is this: Why can't place clones related on the shared with a local replica disk storage?  I understand that I will not be able to use the features of the HA, but I would rather just a LUN shared for all clones related to the ease of administration (instead of having to create one for each host).  If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong or explain to me why this is the case, it would be great.

  OK, I found the documentation indicating that "If clone related data warehouses are shared, the replica data store must be shared. Replicas can reside on a store of local data only if you configure clones all connected on warehouses of local data on the same ESX host. "Who is on page 14 of the document storage considerations see here: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view_storage_considerations.pdf. However, it does not explain why this is, he said only that it is so.

  So as a result of this requirement, it is logical that linked clones on a present at a single ESXi host LUN would support, but without link clones on a LUN present at multiple ESXi hosts.

• My iCloud and shared calendars has stopped working in MS Outlook today.  They worked yesterday.  Now, I get the error message "cannot open this series of records.  The information store cannot be opened?  I tried the fix standard support.

  My iCloud and shared calendars has stopped working in MS Outlook today.  They worked yesterday.  Now, I get the error message "cannot open this series of records.  The information store cannot be opened?  I tried the fix standard support.

  Same thing here.  Looks like Windows did an automatic update during the night, and now nothing iCloud associated work (calendars, contacts, etc.)

  I also noticed that the error message: "could not load file or Assembly ' MOM." Implementation ' or one of its dependencies.  The system cannot find the specified file. "It started after restarting the Windows Update as well.  I imagine that the two are related in the same problem to iCloud.

• problem connecting to TCP variables and shared help

  Hello

  I have a project (host and a device in real time) using variable static as well as TCP to send images over the network. I am familiar with the use of TCP in labview but never used TCP and shared variables in the same project before.

  I receive the error 63 off the open TCP connection. This only happens if an executable file is trained and deployed on the device in real time.

  Is there something to watch if the use shared variables and TCP?

  Thank you

  Thank you Nate

  Fiddled a bit and found that the TCP worked great if I deployed from another computer. Thanks for the links, they were good reads

• Can't see installed and shared printer

  I can't see my hp printer installed and shared on a new Lenovo A58e ThinkVantage Desktop PC with windows XP from ThinkPad running windows XP.

  I have set up working groups as well, appropriate manually and by the network installation wizard.

  I have a checked and made sure that the file and printer sharing are enabled in the network adapter properties page.

  I checked in the Toolbox of Lenovo and it says that the file and printer sharing is enabled, so the printer is shared also.

  I also disabled McAfee firewall and Windows Firewall.

  NOTE: I met a similar problem before with ThinkPad Laptops, when the file and printer sharing would not stay active in the properties of the device, found the problem being to think software, specific to 'Think access', the software kept turning off files and printers, sharing, so I allowed him by the profile of the software Manager, and all laptops could see file sharing and printer.  However I don't see any 'Think access' software, just the 'Lenovo' Toolbox

  Thanks for your time, everyone.

  go to the network properties and install the IPX/XPS/Net bios strictly only for printer sharing network card only.

• Duplicate "My documents" and "Shared Documets" Folders in explore. __

  The User1 Documents and Shared Documents, you can see directly under C:\ are shortened. Leave them alone. You have only to a true User1 My Documents and Documents shared under C:\Documents and Settings. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

  I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista). File sharing functions between the XP computers. However, I am simply unable to influence the "password protected sharing setting" in the network and sharing Center. I check the option to turn it off and I get a click through UAC dialog window, the mouse cursor turns for a short time while as if windows is pretending to do something, but the password protected sharing setting is always on.

  I tried to disable Avira Antivir.

  I enabled the guest account and set its password to a string explicitly empty with net user guest «»

  Nothing helps.

• Network and sharing Center shows not connected, but the computer is connected to the wireless network

  When I open the network and sharing Center, or hold my mouse pointer on the icon of internet connection in the bottom right of the taskbar, it shows that I'm not connected to a network. However, I know that I'm connected to the internet. My internet and e-mail work correctly. Also, when I click on the 'Connect to a network' option, find the list of available wireless networks, and it shows that I'm connected to my home network. How can I make Windows everywhere where I am connected to the internet, instead of recognizing only on the list of the networks without wire-available?

  Had exactly the same problem on Windows 7 (win7). Connected to the Internet but the status showing no connection and a red cross on the network icon. Problem has also caused problems to connect to Lync and Office365 along with VPN, which apparently uses the status to check whether the connection is available.

  Found the solution here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/df17c593-e78f-4878-97b0-7569307934c5

  Apparently, certain permissions gets hurt in the database record and must be fixed using RegEdit. The solution is a step by step and likely to be resolved simply by removing a cache of file using RegEdit and potentially affecting certain permissions.
