• install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server

  Hello

  I want to install esxi 4.1 and the data store on the same server.

  My problem is that I can't make partitions to really separate them and I would reinstall esxi without wiping the data store.

  Y at - it another way to put a record out of the raid only to install esxi.

  I also do not install on a USB key.

  Thank you

  AZEL,

  Can you give us more details about your current environment?  What is the size and the data store space used? Do you have any storage of additional network attached to the host (for backup purposes)?

  My assumptions of your post do you have 1 stand-alone host with ESXi 4.1 aready installed and you also have a local data store on the same host, but you want to re - install ESXi 4.1 while keeping the contents fo the data store.  Is this correct?

• VDP: Cannot access the data store

  Hello!

  I have a problem.

  Every day I see error for one of my servers in "reports":

• Copy the ISO to the data store

  Hello!

  I want to copy an ISO to the local data store. My server does not have the DVD, so I think that to install VM ISO e.

  I guess I need to some ftpd or tftp on ESXi host. Is this possible?

  Another way to copy the ISO til the local server data store?

  Hello

  Client session launch the vsphere host, select configuration, then storage, browse the data store, and then download the ISO on the data store.

• The data store size is smaller than the virtual disk

  Just deploy a new installation of ESXI 4.1 rev3 on a new Dell PE R520 server with 4 disks 1 GB configured in a single Bay RAID5.  When I connect with vSphere and go to Configuration > it shows storage data store being just 740 GB.  However when I go to storage adapters and select the vmhba it shows the complete 2.73 CT of the RAID array that I need to use.  Nowhere I chose Go 740 for the size of the data store, so I don't know how it has been brought to this size.  If I try to delete and re-create 740 GB is the maximum I can create.

  What I am doing wrong and how do I create a data store that uses all 2.73 CT?  Screenshots are attached.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ben

  4 ESXi does not support LUNS > 2 TB.  Any increase on a multiple of 2 TB, it's what you'll see (e.g. 2.73 TB - 2 TB =.73 to ~ = 740 GB you see).

  But the real question is why you install version 3 year of the hypervisor?

• error message about the size of the data store

  I installed ESXi 5.1.0 on VMware workstation and interfaced the vsphere client management interface. It's all about

  Windows 7 laptop. I am now installing a VMware vCenter Server device image by using the vsphere client. But I have

  get an error stating: the capacity of the drive specified is greater than the amount available on the data store. Click Cancel to

  back from the value of disk space? How is it determined? I tried to change the size of the data store

  but I still get the same error. I do it just with what I have at home, and I'm new to VMware technology.

  I found this KB: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003565

  And it seems to imply that the size of the block can be a problem. Block size for the data of my ESXi store is set to 1 MB, which is expected to support upward

  up to 256 GB. I can't imagine that I need more space.

  On a different note, would you please tell me how I can post a couple of groups? What is the policy on this?

  I took a glance at the file unit .ovf and given the size of the virtual disk that is required for the data disk rose from 60 GB to 100 GB with update 1.

  It can work to tweak/change the .ovf file, however, in this case I would simply create a larger store of data to meet the requirements for the virtual disks (25 + 100 GB + overhead).

• vSphere - external USB drive to the data store local copy

  Hello world

  Yesterday, I created this post: http://communities.VMware.com/message/2135813
  With your help, we managed to find the only way to install ESXi to ISO image to USB external hard drive is to be attached to the machine near her and run the Setup from there, cannot be done directly.

  Today, we need your help in the next step, as it seems.

  We have a Dell r.620 physical machine with VMware ESXi 5.0 installed U1. We have an external hard drive with the operating system installation ISO images, software backup and a little more.

  The question is - how to copy the data from the external USB connected directly to the ESXi host to the data store local disk on the host.

  Yes, we know that we can do in the way that connect us to the machine on the same location and copy it into the data from there store. But we would do it directly. And we don't very well see by ourselves or using Google Uncle again.

  Poor ability to research, or is not possible?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  The court to do is to use the Datastorebrowser or WinSCP

  ESXi itself can only read the Fat16 drives - so what looks like the short path is the long way ;-)

• During remediation instant failure disappear from the Manager, is the data store

  Hi guys

  I was contracted to sort a vSphere 4.1 environment and there are a few VM some with up to 4 snapshots on them and more than a year. I've been rehabilitating some of them already with the "remove all" according to vSphere documentation, and all went very well.

  I just tried to reclaim a more, it only has a single VM disk and a snapshot of what is only a few months old. The remediation process has gone wrong, and I got the following error: ' < unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore > root 25/05/2012 16:20:07 25/05/2012 16:20:07 25/05/2012 16:20:09.

  The data store has a block size of 1 MB and should be able to support up to 256 MB file size and disk of the virtual machine is only 84 GB, real size of snapshots is 77 GB with space set 84 GB service identical to the original size of the virtual machine.

  The server is a box of SQL2008R2, so it is quite important that he does not fail. In addition, the company used to have vCenter installed, but at some point in time ceased it to use it and are now only connect directly to the ESXi hosts themselfes.

  Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? The server seems to be working well, but if you look at the snapshot the Snapshot Manager disappeared, but the files still exist in the data store. I'll make sure that we at this time do not turn off the server.

  I also just found when comparing the .vmx files this virtual machine and another virtual machine that still has old clichés in this regard, the following differences.

  hostCPUID.0 = "0000000b756e65476c65746e49656e69".
  hostCPUID.1 = "000206c220200800029ee3ffbfebfbff".
  hostCPUID.80000001 = "0000000000000000000000012c 100800.
  guestCPUID.0 = "0000000b756e65476c65746e49656e69".
  guestCPUID.1 = "000206c200010800829822030febfbff".
  guestCPUID.80000001 = "00000000000000000000000128100800".
  userCPUID.0 = "0000000b756e65476c65746e49656e69".
  userCPUID.1 = "000206c220200800029822030febfbff".
  userCPUID.80000001 = "00000000000000000000000128100800".

  That information above, does not exist in the file .vmx for virtual machine that does not have the reclamation of the snapshot.

  Kind regards

  Niels

  OK, let's put it all together:

  ... There's a few VM some with up to 4 snapshots on them and more than a year

  ... The data store has a block size of 1 MB and should be able to support up to 256 GB file size

  ... "The file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store

  --> virtual disks _1 and _2 _3 on different data warehouses (MON)

  Think again of what could be the cause of this error message, the only reason why I can think of is that the other virtual disks have been added after taken the snapshot, and at least one of the virtual disks has a size greater than 254 GB. (see "calculates the time required by the snapshot files system" at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1012384)

  When you delete a snapshot with the virtual machine, ESXi creates a ' consolidate snapshot of assistance. " If this snapshot of assistance cannot be created, you will receive this error message. If this is the case you should at least be able to remove the snapshot with the virtual machine off.

  The next question is how to resolve this situation, in order to create snapshots in the future. Well, the best way - where your hardware is supported - would be upgrade to ESXi 5 and VMFS-5, that supports the file sizes of ~ 2 TB size of blocks of 1 MB unified. In the case where an upgrade is not an option you will need to either create smaller virtual disks and migrate/copy data or create new warehouses of data with a block size and migrate virtual disks.

  An alternative to the above mentioned, which adds however complexity to the configuration - potentially redirect snapshots of a store of data with the appropriate block size. See http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002929

• VMX file larger than the maximum size supported by the data store

  Hi all

  I seem to be getting a strange error trying to a virtual machine that is located on a snapshot VMFS5, to the data store format.

  The virtual machine (VMDK and VMX file) is installed on a thin provisioned 2 TB datastore which has the value VMFS5 formatting.  It is a data store new with no other VM on it.  I had problems in the past with the datastore block sizes (1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB on VMFS3), however, I thought that VMFS5 got rid of the question, since it's all blocks of 1 MB and all files in the virtual computer are on the same data store.

  The error I get indicates that the VMX file is too large for the data store (used Im saying "unspecified file), however, if I do the independent 2 TB disk snapshots through the fine.  The virtual machine has two virtual disks, a 50 VMDK of GB and a thin 2 TB VMDK (200 GB used).  I tried fast vMotioning the VMDK and VMX to other data formatted VMFS5 stores and still get the same error.

  I'd appreciate any help and ideas.

  Thank you

  Travis

  Although the block size limit is party, maximum 2 TB file size less 512octets still exists. Since a Flash disk can grow waist put in service the basic disk more overhead for the metadata, the maximum size of virtual disk - to be able to create snapshots - is 2032 GB.

• Unable to see VM in the data store after a restore of vcenter

  Hello

  One of my colleagues tried to install Service Pack 3 to SQL 2005 on our vcenter SQL instance.  Unfortunately, this was not and no services would begin once he did the upgrade.

  He gave the entire server to a backup that was taken a week ago.  Now, we have some problems where we do not see the virtual machines if browse us the data store, it is just to show as thought that there is no data there (see screenshot) and a virtual machine appears as orphans.

  Normally I would just delete the virtual machine of vcenter and go back and import it again but I can't do what I'm not.

  Any ideas?

  Try removing the host and adding back to vCenter. It will update the agent, vpxa.

• Add the new hard drive into the data store in ESXi 4.1

  Hi all

  I got ESX 4.1 installed on the Dell server, and I have 3 virtual machines on a data store.

  I added a new 500 GB scsi hard drive to the server,

  and I need to add it to the datasore or create a new...

  How can I see this new hard drive? and add it to the data store?

  Waiting for your help.

  concerning

  Abrams

  Oracle system engineer

  Abrams,

  That's all I can help you.  These instructions are based on the Perc 5 / i controller, which I think you have on our system.  You have not specified the server so I just assumed that this is so.

  1. unscrew the hot spare that you just made.  Follow this link from Dell.
  http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1061343

  2 follow the link for the installation of virtual disks - http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/RAID/PERC5/en/UG/HTML/chapterh.htm#wp1069357

  This link has three steps to void, skip the step on "spare parts of designate hot."
  a. create the virtual disks and select virtual disk options.   -Online steps to create another disk group and add the new disk to the disk group.
  (b) designate the drives hot spares (optional). =>, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP
  c. initialize virtual disks. -online must do.  just do not initialize the incorrect disk.

  After the step #2 c, you should be able to access the drive in ESXi or command-line (list of nmp esxcli devices).

  And no, you cannot add this manaully until do you step #2 above which is to define the disk group, creating virtual disks and initialize the virtual disk.

  Good luck.

• How to set vm-description/notes and get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine

  Hello guys,.
  I have vCenter Orchestrator 4.1.1 build 733 installed and it works fine, but I need your help for the following two issues:
  (1) I want to put the description/notes of a virtual machine using a workflow. But I have not found any API useful to create this workflow (I don't want custom attributes, see attachment for details).

  (2) how can I get the name of the data store, where the virtual machine? I need this name for a workflow.
  I need your help.
  Thanks in advance!

  With regard to the notes of the VM, the following code (see enclosed package) can do this:

  var oldNotes = vm.summary.config.annotation;
  If (oldNotes == null) {oldNotes = ' ' ;}}
  System.log ("Notes of VM current:" + oldNotes);
  Now put the new notes:
  Start by creating a context
  Context of var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
  Update the annotation with the new value property
  configSpec.annotation = notes;
  launch the task to reconfigure the virtual machine with the new context
  NOTE: This is sure to apply with a virtual machine under tension
  var task = vm.reconfigVM_Task (configSpec);

  And, in what concerns the VM information, take a look at the workflow of the library: \Library\vCenter\Virtual Machine management\Others\Extract virtual machine information

• Combining the VM with files in the data store

  I apologize for the very basic question.

  I have a few ESXi servers and I need to associate each VM with the related directory inside the data store and each direxctory within the data with the associated directory store.

  With the command:

  SE connect-VIServer-Server 192.168.1.1 - user root - < password >

  I connect with the server.

  With the command

  Get - vm

  I get a list of all VM with the State and the amount of memory, the number of vCPU

  • How can I get path for each computer listed virtual, to the related .vmx file?
    
  • How to browse the data store, the list of the .vmx file and for each .vmx file, get the name of the associated virtual machine?
    
  • What manual download to find the emanations of the arguments of the command get-vm and qualifying?
    

  Concerning

  Marius

  The Get - VM by default displays a selection of properties.

  You can ask all the properties

  Get - VM | Select *.

  or some specific

  Get - VM | Select name, Description

  You can even access the real object of the SDK VirtualMachine

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N="VMX; E={$_. Extensiondata.Config.Files.VmPathName}}

  PowerCLI comes with a data store provider.

  It is documented in the vSphere PowerCLI Admin Guide, which is installed with PowerCLI.

  With the provider, you can list the files .vmx on data warehouses.

  To find the name of the corresponding client, you will need to retrieve the DisplayName of the .vmx file field.
