• Storage vMotion with snapshots

  I'm trying to implement storage vMotion in vSphere and I wanted to try to clarify some of the requirements.  3.5, VMS with snapshots could not be SVM' ed.  This has now changed in 4.1 or anyone know if it will change in the future?  Does anyone found a workaround for this limitation?

  Thank you

  Currently, there is no work around for this.  The only way is to commit snapshots, then svMotion above.  Who knows what will be the next major version to the table well!

• Spend RDM to VMFS using Storage vMotion

  I have a server that is running Windows server 2003 SP2 Enterprise edition.

  This server is using a SAN EVA8000 raw device mappings. We want to get rid of the device mappings gross and use instead a regular VMFS data store.

  I tried to use storage vmotion to migrate the storage of a new vmfs datastore, hoping it would pass all the data from the mapping of raw device to a new VMFS datastore.

  Completion of storage vmotion to the new data store, I still connected to the server raw device mappings.

  It is still possible to migrate data on a raw device mapping to the data without downtime and manual filecopy vmfs store?

  Is it possible to move from physical to virtual mode?

  You can turn off the virtual machine, remove the diskette RDM and readd in virtual mode.

• Storage vmotion with several virtual disks

  I have a couple of virtual machines with virtual disks on them.  I have a need to pass one of the virtual disks in a different lun while leaving others in the current location.  I would like to move this disk without impact on our users, which means that I like to keep the operational machine.  I did several Vmotions storage with great success.  I want to know is if there is a way to use Storage Vmotion and tell him to move only a single virtual disk on a multi VM disk.

  Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

  Thank you!

  Download and install the RCLI.

  Run the sVMotion intereactive mode.  This will guide you through the process with the ability to move the individual disks.

  command line must start with

  SVMotion - interactive

• Storage vMotion with advanced vsphere license

  I have the vSphere advanced license that doesn't include a Storage vMotion.

  This does mean that I won't be able to do manually storage vmotion with this license, or is what is not included in the new vSphere GUI?

  You will not be able to make Storage VMotion.

  But many people say Storage VMotion, even when cold migration is performed. Thus, you will not be able to move VMS on another store data seamlessly, without power off VM.

• I used to work with Interbase and Firebird and used databases the keyword "domain". I am now switchig to Oracle as a primary database and would like to find an alternative appropriate "domain" in Oracle, as it appears he does ' t taken in charge the stand

  I used to work with Interbase and Firebird and used databases the keyword "domain".

  I am now switchig to Oracle as a primary database and would like to find a suitable

  Variant of 'area' in Oracle such that it appears he does ' t support the standard SQL syntax.

  for example:

  Create the int2 smallint field;

  create domain id2 int2 default 0 not NULL; / * for the primary key * /.

  create domain rel2 int2 default 0 not NULL; / * foreign key * /.

  I tried a couple of approaches to achieve this "area" is:

  1. create synonym - cannot be used with the basic types;

  2. create the type - type of work, but the implementation is rather clumsy

  and can be costly in terms of performance.

  Is there something else to Oracle that can emulate the feature "domain"?

  Thanks in advence, I got really approciate any help on this.

  Alex.

  Your best approximation is CREATE TYPE, but their is nothing of what is a 100% adjustment.

  For example, if you create a domain with a check constraint you need to implement than separately on each table.

• Virtual machines with VMFS and LUN VMFS-no?

  Is it possible to attend the ESX3.5 VMFS and Non-VMFS LUNs virtual machines simultaneously?  We are totally an environment totally VMFS/Fiber Channel VI with Windows o/s.   Although we have all our virtual machines that reside on a VMFS LUNS storage has asked if it is possible to have Non-VMFS LUNS presentable at our VM and VMFS?

  I think I remembered that Non-VMFS storage can be made available as storage but do not know if the two can be presented at the same time

  It can be done with a RDM and no special software required.

• Using enhaced vMotion with ESX4.1

  Hello

  I was wondering if it is possible to use the new improved features vMotion (migrate virtual machines without shared storage) with just the upgrade 5.1 vCenter.

  I have an environment where I have a vCenter 4.1 virtual and multiple ESX 4.1 classics that are not connected to a shared storage.

  To update the environment 5.1 I need a downtime of the virtual machines since I stop them, move them to another server, reinstall the ESX and ESXi 5.1.

  My question is, can I update the vCenter 5.1, the enhanced vMotion allows to move virtual machines from one ESX to another or I must have reinforced version 5.1 on the Hypersivor as well as for vMotion to work?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Don't know if I'm clear with your query

  "I didn't want to VCA feature, but the new feature of 5.1 through the VMs of unshared data warehouses and hosts without any downtime.

  This feature implemented in vCenter or is it tied host? »

  Rule of thumb: VC should always be equal to or greater than the version of esx/esxi

  To make use of the functionality of Migration without shared storage, we have need of ESX and VC in version 5.1.

• Storage vMotion with zero eager thick

  Hello

  In version 5.0, with the GUI, when you want to svmotion a virtual computer, you have three choices for storage: zero lazy thin / thick / thick zero eager.

  We have a lot of virtual machine in lazy mode thin / thick and want to convert it to thick eager without interruption of service.

  In Powershell, smovtion is ' Move-VM cmdlet. It has the possibility of "DatastoreStorageFormat" who don't accept that end/thick for the parameters (from the documentation).

  After a few tries, moving a VM thin with the cmdlet and "thick" in setting create a vmdk in "zero lazy thick."

  Some try with "EagerZeroVirtualDisk_Task" of the API too, but a problem with a lock on the file. It is not really clear in the documentation, but I think that the virtual machine must be poweredoff in order to use this feature.

  Is there a way to powercli to a storage vMotion and (re) create vmdk zeroing eager mode thick?

  Try it like this

  $vm = Get-VM -Name MyVM $destinationds = Get-Datastore -Name MyTargetDS $HardDisks = @(Get-HardDisk -VM $vm)
  
  $spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $spec.Datastore = $destinationds.Extensiondata.MoRef
  
  1..$HardDisks.Count | %{
      $newFilename = "[" + $destinationds.Name + "]" + ($HardDisks[$_ -1].Filename.Split(']')[1])
  
      $objBackinginfo = New-Object VMWARE.Vim.VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo    $objBackinginfo.DiskMode = "persistent"    $objBackinginfo.eagerlyScrub = $true    $objBackinginfo.FileName = $newFilename
      $objDisk = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpecDiskLocator    $objDisk.DiskID = $HardDisks[$_ - 1].Id.Split('/')[1]
      $objDisk.DataStore = $destinationds.Extensiondata.MoRef    $objDisk.diskBackingInfo = $objBackinginfo
      $spec.Disk += $objDisk
  }

• Storage vMotion - WITH RDM? - Or will they ignored most of the time?

  Hi all - I have a storage vMotion, 5 hosts in the cluster - five or 6 virtual machines with RDM are pinned to specific hosts for the love of the DRS, but I want to go where the readers of the OS, then to VMDK is one San to another. If the virtual machine has a C:\ drive on the data store, all the other disks on the virtual computer is through physical RDM. ALL I need to move is the c:\(VMDK) in the process of storage vmotion.

  Time without are connected and work today to the ESX host in the cluster, all hosts are sized to see the RDM.

  My question is, when we go to perform the storage vMotion, how to avoid such failure? the RDM are my concern in the past, I think I remember a machine do not migrate when he had attached RDMs.

  any comments or thoughts would be really useful.

  Nick

  You can also move the ROW pointers with the data store 'change' - Assistant. Just be sure to select "same as source" for the format of the target disk. If you choose thick or thin, the RDM will be transformed into a VMDK, but with "same format" simply the ROW pointer is moved to the new data store.

• ISI t possible to use several screws with state diagram module

  Hello

  I'm doing a request using the module state diagram, and I have to use at least for VI I developed. I have problems when I want to set the entries before creating different States. My VI have stop buttons and the e/s I need to use. I have the same problem with the outputs. Because I can not set the input/output (type moore machine) I can't nor define the guards and actions that the state machine must fallow.

  You have an idea if we can use several VI with this module or do I have to use the good old box + all state machine technique.

  Thank you.

  Of course, this is possible.

  

  hope this helps,
