Incompatibility of the use of data store
Hi all
I have a Lab Manager installation with about 2 TB of data warehouses is attributed to the. Comparing the use of the disc between du-sh and view on the use of the data store through the Lab Manager user interface, I see two completely different characters. I don't know what is to consume all of my space. Cleaning of garbage is the default value of 120 seconds.
du-HS exit
865G datastore_14/labmanhost
259G datastore_19/labmanhost
396G datastore_20/labmanhost
That's what I see in the GUI. Show 103 VM remaining to use 0 MB.
To scramble even more, if I look at my models some show that the use of 0 MB, but these have a 20 GB drive (and even more so because of the length of the chain caused by changing the template after the initial release it).
Can someone explain what is consuming my drive?
Thank you
Then use the 'View Datastore use' page, press the button "Refresh disk space" at the top of this page. Virtual machines with the length of the string of 0 indicate that you probably did not recently.
As you probably know, Lab Manager stores its virtual machines as linked clones. Each virtual machine is based on several VMDK which are dependent on each other, and multiple virtual machines can share nodes. Lab Manager cleans up the tree, the removal of nodes, it can through an asynchronous garbage collection process. Any node with dependencies is not removed until these dependencies are removed.
The column that you are using is 'Disk space after deletion', not space total disk used by this node. Values are often zero because if a node a VM dependent, it is not cleaned when its deleted memory. He doesn't want not to say that it does no disk space - sound suffice it to say that you will free all disk space if you delete it.
For a better visibility of these dependencies, the mouse in the virtual machine and choose 'background '. This will display the chain dependent records graphically, and as you mouse over nodes, you will see some information about them such as their size. Note that not all nodes are "visible" in the application (except in this context point of view). Only virtual machines with borders "BOLD" from this point of view can be displayed in Lab Manager (in the space to work, a configuration library or library templates).

Report on the use of data store based on cluster (not data center)
Hello
I want to create separate HTML reports for each cluster I have in my virtual Center. I've created a script, but it doesn't seem to work. This script creates outputs separated from HTML based on clusters, but all the files have the same data, i.e. all data that are available in the Vcenter stores. How can I separate them with regard to the cluster in which they are assigned to the place?

What information can I give you or what can I try, thanks!
Is it really "sort of" loading ie 42% or which is a total failure?
OK, I have a build that WORKED, now I see what you mean about watching build/deploy the VM guest.
Here is the solution to my problem: our vcenter uses names with spaces, we also use the domain names for our connections. In addition, each admin password was 'special characters', that I've debugged meticulously by ALL of them and much more. Basically, it did not matter that I have "URL" code things, used new tools or edited different scripts to encode things one way or another.
What finally gave us successes was to go to a 'clean' Vcenter implementation that
(a) use/did not require a domain name (not / credentials)
(b) all had the "BACK original' legal names, IE no spaces, no special characters, etc..
(c) the passwords contained NO "special characters".
(because I changed this way, 'URL' encoding didn't work, tried it)
Moral of the story: building a new, simply configured Vcenter or get one and use it.
(Note: I even downloaded a new ovftool and tried every way that I could but it did not success)

Download VMDK files from the browser to the Web-based data store
Hello
I want to download the virtual computer VMDK file using the browser of the Web-based data store. I know how to do, but there is something I don't understand.
I have configured my VM with a provisioning. From the VI client, I see that the size of the vm.vmdk is 4 GB. The size of proviosned is 20 GB.
Technically speaking, if I download the VMDK file, it should be 4 GB, however, from the browser on the vm - flat hard size Web-based data store is 20 GB... What is the standard behavior? Is there a way to download only the actually used 4 GB?
Hello.
This is the expected behavior, and as much as I know there is no work around if you use the browser to store data.
Good luck!

I played with them all, it's 6 of these, 6 of those. Nagios also has a plugin as well. All you need is something that will send/page when there is a problem. This is crucial.

Hello
You can be charged for the use of data on an ipad, if it has a SIM card
Cellular data.
If your home wifi is unlimited you will not be charged more.
Unless your WiFi has a hat of data ie download limit.

Limit the use of data on home network
Hello
I currently have three computers connected to a wifi modem with two computers running vista and a Mac SL running. I was wondering if it was possible to limit the daily use of computer data? I have experimented with the settings of the router/modem, but there is no built-in feature.
Modem: 2701 HGV - W (bigpond)
Any help would be fantastic.
I have no idea on the SL Mac (you will need to post this question in a Mac forum or contact support Mac), but as far as Vista goes, certain limits can be defined in part by using parental controls and in part by using permissions (but it depends on exactly what you want to say that I am addressing the following). No process will actually limit the use of network data (although they can help you to set other boundaries that can help).
In Vista, here is the procedure for setting up restrictions. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls. Once you have access to parental controls, and then go to the section of deadlines and follow the instructions there (or for the other sections). Technically, it's not a way to limit the use of data in itself - if by here you mean the amount of data accessed for a specified period (but you can limit the data that is used, what programs are available, what websites are allowed, when the computer can be used and several other things. To limit the available data, you use permissions rather than Parental control, but well enough that is already treated as system implements security rights to prevent users other data and you can do this for any folder that you create outside profiles (while the file system are almost already protected - even on your part). If you mean data over the Internet, then there is no way I know in Vista or IE which limit explicitly by the user. Keep in mind that this will only work with standard user accounts as account administrator can simply replace the limitations or remove them all. I know that's not what you asked really, but I thought that I should bring him as he is very much related.
Now for the good news that you want can be done with the 3rd party software free. See the following:http://www.ampercent.com/control-internet-data-usage/4572/. This seems to be exactly what you want and should do the trick.
I hope this helps.

Restrict the use of data - WLAN controller
Hello
I am designing a solution for a hotel WiFi facility. This is mainly to provide access to the visitors of the hotel.
I wonder bandwidth throughput on a per customer basis - which I know can be done on the controller.
I was also asked to verify if the use of data restrictions may be implemented by the customer.
For example, they want that the restriction of the use of 1 GB / 2 GB on their visitors, after which they are not able to access the network without additional authorization.
Is there a way to do this on a Cisco controller?
Thank you
Rahul Nair.
This doco is convenient for the speed limit:
In addition, Rasika explains very well vs TCP UDP in a blog:
https://mrncciew.com/2013/05/01/per-user-rate-limit-in-WLAN/
Regarding limiting the total data of a user; I don't think it's possible with just a Cisco WLC. You would probably need some kind of third-party tool... I can't find much except this post earlier which is probably still very relevant:

Using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store
I am host migration between 3.5 and 4.0, and part of the migration requires me to vmotion data to a single shared LUN data warehouses. From there on, I import the virtual machine in 4.0 and using the script to migrate the two VM disks at different stores of data below. The problem I have is that the configuration (vmx) file not migrated and is left on the shared storage LUNS. Anyone knows how to go beyond this?
The Script:
$VMDisk = 'disk 1 '.
$VMName = 'TestVM '.
$TargetDS = get-Datastore - VMHost (Get-VMHost-$S.id Id) | Where-Object {$_.} Name - like "PMV"} | "" FreeSpaceMB tri-objet-descending | SELECT name - first of all 1
$vm = get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine-filter @{"Name" = $VMName}
foreach ($dev in $vm. Config.Hardware.Device) {if ($dev. DeviceInfo.Label - eq $vmDisk) {$diskId = $dev. Key}}
$spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec
$diskspec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator
$diskspec. Data store = (Get-Datastore-name $TargetDS.Name |) Get - View). MoRef
$diskspec.diskId = $diskId
$spec. Disk = @($diskspec)
$task = get-View ($vm. RelocateVM_Task ($spec, "lowpriority"))
OK, I think I understand your problem now.
I fear that in the current construction of PowerCLI, the Move-VM cmdlet does not destinations of individual data for each virtual hard disk store.
With the RelocateVM_Task method, it is possible.
The following script moves a guest at 3 different data warehouses:
-the. VMX file for DS2
-hard disk 1 for DS3
-hard drive 2 TB DS4
$vmName = "MyGuest" $vmxDS = "DS2" $osDS = "DS3" $dataDS = "DS4" $vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName $vm.Extensiondata.Config.Hardware.Device | %{ if ($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 1"){ $osDiskId = $_.Key } elseif($_.DeviceInfo.Label -eq "Hard disk 2"){ $dataDiskId = $_.Key } } $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $osRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator $osRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $osDS).Extensiondata.MoRef $osRelocate.diskId = $osDiskId $dataRelocate = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator $dataRelocate.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $dataDS).Extensiondata.MoRef $dataRelocate.diskId = $dataDiskId $spec.Disk = @($osRelocate,$dataRelocate) $spec.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $vmxDS).Extensiondata.MoRef $spec.Host = $vm.Extensiondata.Summary.Runtime.Host $task = Get-View ($vm.Extensiondata.RelocateVM_Task($spec, "lowpriority")) while("running","queued" -contains $task.Info.State){ $task.UpdateViewData("Info") sleep 5 }
BTW, you can use the cmdlet Set - hard disk to a virtual disk that is specific to a data store.
But as I understood what is not possible in your environment.

Use the error report data store capacity
Hello world
When I try to get the report for a capacity of data store, I got an error like home but he had no explanation for the error.
Does anyone know why I get this error? I've updated vCOps from 5.0.3 to 5.6. Maybe it has to do something with that.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the replies;
I mean by object parent exactly your situation - this is the under(inside?) folder.
If you can, try to move a data store on the file and reports should work for it.
in any case, it is a known problem that will be fixed in the next version of update.

Search for the text value data store
Hello, I have a PDO of data to store, and I would like to search for a text value in a quantity of measure. In each of my test series, there is a quantity of measure with the name TCNAME and stores the cell name of test in the string format. I would like to get all the TCNAMEs that contain "TC4" for example. Currently, I have to load TCNAME in the portal and display it in an array of string.
Any ideas how I can do this?
I assume you are using a PUMA testbed that stores this kind of goods on a unique value chain chains.
There is no direct search method, so I guess that a script is the only solution we can offer.
Datafinder you can search for the minimum and maximum of a channel. That would be too much work in the store of ASAM.
"PDO / cpp"
protected tcnameMQs: set tcnameMQs = store. GetElementList ("MeasurementQuantity", "name = TCNAME", true)
protected tcnameMQ: for each tcnameMQ in tcnameMQs
MsgBox tcnameMq.References ("local_columns"). Elements (1). Properties ("values"). Value
Next' AOP5 / Corba
protected tcnameLCs: set tcnameLCs = store. GetElementList ("LocalColumn", "measurement_quantity.name = TCNAME", true)
protected tcnameLC: for each tcnameLC in tcnameLCs
MsgBox tcnameLC.Properties ("values"). Value
Next
I have added the example which should be the shortest path from my point of view. In AOP5, you can search LocalColumn and spend BA which is less overhead.
It is perhaps a good idea to post-processing of the data base and crush the decription "Test name" by
"The test cell name == NAME. You can search not post-processed by Searchin' for.
protected tcnameMQs: set tcnameMQs = store. GetElementList ("MeasurementQuantity", "description = name of the test cell", true)
protected tcnameMQ: for each tcnameMQ in tcnameMQs
tcnameMQ.Properties ("description"). Value = "name of the test cell is" & tcnameMq.References ("local_columns"). Elements (1). Properties ("values"). Value
Next
Store.SaveThereafter, you would be able to search for it.

VM HA (VM monitoring - response to the failure of data store)
Hello
2 ESXi hosts connected to a shared storage. We HA enabled with the default settings and "monitoring VM = Disabled.
In the case where one of the ESXi hosts running VM1 lost access to Datastore1 that hosts VM1, HA the hang and restart this computer on the other host?
If this isn't the case, it will be when the virtual machine monitoring is enabled? and if we have more than 10 guests, how does know where the relative data store is still active, I mean on what host?
Kind regards
Monitoring of virtual machine will restart a virtual machine if HA detects more VMtools beating heart, but also the network IO and storage to the virtual machine.
If a host loses access to a data store that HA is concerned this depends on which version of vSphere is used and how to access that is lost (ODA or PDL - see details here VMware KB: loss of the device (PDL) Permanent and All - paths - Down (APD) in vSphere 5.x ). If running vSphere 6, HA now has a feature (VM component Protection) which will restart all virtual machines affected by ODA or PDL on a host that is not affected. If using earlier versions of vSphere even with VM followed the active user intervention will be necessary since VM monitoring only restarts the virtual machine (and not on a new host) (vSphere5.1 storage improvements & #8211;) Part 4: All roads down (APD). CormacHogan.com).
Does that answer your questions?
