• Impossible to disassemble a data store

  People

  I am not able to disassemble a data store. The validation of the VM presence test is a failure. I checked there is no virtual machine running in the DS. Initially, there are two files orphaned hard which I deleted. But it still does not allow me to disassemble the DS.

  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

  Even if the files are present in the data store, you can remove the data store (VMFS file system) on the LUN device. I've attached screenshots step by step where I did exactly the same activity on our environment. Here, I had some files on the data store that I wanted to turn off unwanted. Let me know if you can follow it without problems in your environment. -Thor.

• 0 blocks free PTR - cannot create new files on the data store

  We have been experiencing problems trying to power on virtual machines. When attempting to power on virtual machines, we see the error "cannot extend the pagefile from 0 KB to 2097152 KB".

  We checked the .vswp file are created in the folder of the Virtual Machine on the data store. Connection to the ESXi host, we have seen the following in vmkernel.log error message:

  (2016 01-16 T 21: 19:40.556Z cpu1:4971732) WARNING: Res3: 6984: "freenas-6-ds": [rt 3] No. Space - has not found enough resources after the second pass!

  This was surprising given that we have about 14 TB of space available on the data store:

  When we turn off a virtual machine, it will release 1 block of PTR and we would be able to on another VM / create the 20 GB file using "dd". Once we reached 0 free blocks of PTR, we are unable to create new files.

  Can anyone give any suggestions on how we may be able to clear the blocks PTR? We have already tried to restart all services of management on all ESXi hosts connected.

  FreeNAS is not running on a virtual machine.

  We solved the problem by finding a lot PTR blocks have been used by many of our models of virtual machine. Remove the disk models solved the problem.

• Detach a lun using the data store name?

  All (or Luc lol)

  I am wanting to use the disc to detach function, but instead of passing naa.id, I wish I could pass the name of a data store already disassembled data store to get the id of the naa. I would also like to pass a list of hosts, rather than to all guests who tied it.  I watched Alan functions but its going to each host rather than being able to move from a specific host.

  I took a slap at him earlier, but I'm a little confused on how to do it.

  http://www.lucd.info/2011/11/25/LUN-juggling-in-vSphere-5/

  Any help?

  With a small change to the functions of Alan, you can use a parameter of VMHost.

  In there, you specify one or more ESXi servers where the data store must be dismounted and detached.

• Impossible to disassemble the repair disc

  Hey out there - I hope someone can help me with a solution to my problem!

  My drive external DRIVE (WD MY Passport) decide to stop playing on the same team earlier today.

  My Mac recognizes the drive, but won't let me access to his files directory - when you try to check the diskutil drive tells me it needs to be repaired, and in trying to fix it, diskutil says that it is impossible to disassemble the disc... > _ <

  But when accessing the control through the recovery partition I can also check and repair and it will come just by saying "all is * A - OK... When you use the diskutil through the recovery partition I can even access to its files directory, and it shows me all the files without any problems...

  If it becomes increasingly strange...

  Y at - there someone out there who has an idea of what to do with it?

  Best regards

  Stop your Mac. Now start with the SHIFT key is pressed. This will start in Safe Mode, with all extensions turned off. Safe mode is slow to start, so give it time, it checks a lot of staff. If it works fine in Safe Mode, restart normally. If it works now, you are finished.

  If the problem comes back after a reboot, you have an extension conflict. Disable all extensions via system preferences. To isolate which extension is at fault, turn on an extension at the same time, restart in the meantime, until you find the bad Apple.

• 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

• Foglight v6 - FaultException: impossible to extract the data of inventory of the collector

  After having modernized our virtual center to V4, the foglight fails to report all the details and only has the following alert:
  "FaultException: impossible to extract the data of inventory of the collector: the parameter name cannot be null or an empty string."
  ' Parameter name: key to make sure the collection agent service is running.
  If anyone else has had this problem and how to solve?
  Thank you

  Hi Joviyach,
  I logged a call with Vizioncore and the resolution is as follows:
  the problem you have is related to a VMware problem experienced during the upgrade to vSphere 4.0 as detailed in: kb.vmware.com/.../search.do
  Bascially, you must run a SQL command of your Virtual Center via MS SQL Management Studio that will identify one or more VMs who have a missing entry in the VPX_VIRTUAL_SCSICONTROLLER table. Once this information is determined that you would follow the steps 2 to 6 of the reolution... basically remove these virtual machines of the inventory and adding them back.
  When these steps are complete, you will re-start the vFoglight Collector of Vmware and Vmware vFoglight connector services.

• alleged connection to the data store local preventing vmotion

  I have a VM that signals a connection to the local data store on its host, and therefore can't do vMotion elsewhere.  The virtual machine has two virtual drives, which are both on a SAN storage.  The virtual machine has been previously connected to an ISO on the local data store, but it has since been replaced by client device.  He always insists that he's using something on this data store, however.  I've looked through the vmx file and don't see any reference to it.  I also tried to remove the data store, but he claims that the file system is in use.  The hosts have been recently updated to esxi 6.0 U2, and it's the only VM that now seems this behavior.  Any suggestions on what could be the cause?  It is a server important enough in this environment, and be locked into a single host makes me a little anxious.

  Turns out it was because of an old cliché.  If you get an ISO from a data store and take a snapshot, the virtual machine will keep a link to that store of data even after changing the client machine.  As soon as you delete the snapshot, this relationship goes, and access to this database is therefore more a review when searching valid hosts.

• Please help: measure is missing from the data store

  Thank you!

  Hello
  You asked for instructions on how to readd a missing measure.
  Basically, it's pretty easy:
  in the VMFS to VMFS-based volume header section, you can assign extends it.
  Lets say that the basic volume is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T3:L0:1
  first of all extend is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T4:L0:1
  second extension is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T5:L0:1
  Then you will see this string in the VMFS header:
  vmhba1:3:0
  and a little later

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T3:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T4:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T5:l0:1
  Just change the list of stretches.
  But: normally you can't change this section at all, and to add to the confusion, these values are stored in RAM is not trivial to change this value correctly.
  I highly recommend that instead of try it yourself and repeat all the mistakes I made while learning it - call me.
  I rather help you personally to give dangerous advice that will probably make things worse.

• Do we know how the data store is filled

  We do not know how the data store is filled, ran put space, is there a tool or a way to get the report how the data store is filled.

  1. go to the data store--> select storage views--> then apply different filters to see DS space utlization by VMs, instant.

  2. enable ssh esxi host and log in with the username/password of root and orders below

  #cd vmfs/volumes /.

  #du-sh *.

  This will list all the files/dir on this data store and its size in GB.

  3. or you can use DS to take a quick look at what.

  Thank you

• ESXi 5.5 only 4 TB usable for the data store

  Hi all

  Although in vSphere Client 5,46 TB of capacity is visible, I can only use 3.64 TB to a data store.

  I tried to increase the size of the data store, last used area was 11720890367 and last sector was 11720890510 which doesn't really seem to translate into an increase of 1.8 to.

  Thanks for your help.

  Your output, it shows that there are two partitions vmfs

  3 10229760 3907029134 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  4 3907031040 11720890367 AA31E02A400F11DB9590000C2911D1B8 vmfs 0

  A partition with 1.8 to and another with 3.8 to.   That's the reason why you see only 3.8 to

  I don't know why the 1.8 to vmfs volume is not list anywhere (which does not appear in the list of file system of storage of esxcli also). Do you have any before partition created manually. If you think that if there is no data in this 1.8 to vmfs partition you can remove it by using the partedutil command and then use this free space to extend the existing 3.8 to. But do not forget before you delete the partitiaon

• VM attached to the data store, but not in the config

  I have a few virtual machines that show that they are attached to a store data, but when you look at the parameters of the client both in the vmx file there is nothing that refers to this data store.  And, to top it off, the data store is just a deposit of file I only download iso files to mount for CD-ROMs.  I have made sure that the iso is not mounted on the machine (of course) and have paid through any other part of the config, but still it shows attached to that store of data, by the customer and by a powercli script.

  When you browse the data store, there is no folders or files on there that refer to this virtual machine.  I have about 10 machines all in this difficult situation.  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello..

  VM snapshots come with a .iso mounted for them? If so, that would explain it...

• Snapshots on the data store

  I am struck the problem on one of my virtual machines.

  When I navigate directly to the data store, I can see instant scraps, but they do not appear in the Snapshot Manager. Consolidation complete but makes no difference. Any idea on how to remove them?

  If the hard disk of the virtual machine seen by changing the parameters runs on a flat snapshot, then the VM vmname - 00000 x hard always runs on a snapshot. Otherwise, it could be a file of rest.
