Is VMware 4.1 - possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity

Hi all

We have VMware 4.1 - is possible to do automatic VM on host migration when LUN is near full capacity.

Suppose I have configure if a logic unit number is nearly 85 percent of capacity, I can do a configuration that VM will be moved to another host without any manual intervention.

Thank you

Saurabh

Welcome thr community - first question I have is how you configure your virtual disks - you're thick or thin provisioning - if you use thick Provisioning, the size of the virtual disk won't grow - if you use Thin Provisioning disks will develop as spaced is used in order to run in a situation where you run the risk of cluttering the VMFS datastore - this risk is the reason why best practice is not use Thin Provisioning for machines of production

Now, to answer your question - first thing to keep in mind vmotion does not move when the virtual machine is stored it simply moves the execution instance of the virtual machine to an ESXi host to host anotherESXi. You take advantage of Storage vMotion - but in vSphere 4 storage vMotion is not automatic.

With vSphere 5, that you would be able to use Stirage DRS and that will automatically pass the virtual machine as the disk fills up.

  • Does vMotion allows to automatically shutdown (startup) hosts when a farm is not stressed (overloaded)?

    Dear reader,

    I was wondering if a VMWare product (vMotion, vSphere, options etc.) allows to:

    • automatically move VMS between hosts to allow efficiency more host
    • automatically shut down the hosts not used (to reduce the electricity bill)
    • automatically power on a host when those already begun guests reach a load limit
    • automatically move VMS between hosts to allow for more host availability

    Thanks for reading in any case.

    Best regards

    Welcome to the community - what you describe is VMware Distributed Power Management (DPM) - which is a characteristic of the DRS uses vMotion to move the virtual machine to a host when there is an excess capacity and power down the host and bring it wen comes back on line capacity is necessary.

    is this only for new customers of creative cloud or?

    How can I get the discount? How to contact the customer for this delivery service?

    This promo is for new customer, but I guess that this existing cc member can cancel the present CC & buy the promo offer.

    However, you need to contact Adobe support for this as suggested above and check if the cancellation fee is waived off or not for this purchase.

    Note: The price in https://creative.adobe.com/promo/FlickrCCPP in only for the first year, they change the renewal.

    I want to know, if it is possible to make some sort of "automatic" to the analog inputs of the SB - RIO 9636 map.

    The average is to increase the precision, if small voltages are used.

    But I'm not sure if will be something destroyed, if I apply a voltage high in a sensitive range.

    Do you have any tips or tricks?

  • Is it possible to prevent automatic scrolling in the history sidebar

    Something that has always been an annoyance for me and perhaps the solution is right under my nose.
    When I watch something in my story, but I'm not sure of the exact link, I often have to toast on several pages to find the exact. The problem is every time I do the side bar autoscroll completely back up which is very annoying back to where I was before.
    Is it possible to disable this auto-scroll to the top of the sidebar (new link in the history).

    Thank you

    When you click a link in the sidebar of history or in the history Manager to open the link for inspection, then you create a new story visit that link and makes the link appear as the first in the list in case you have sorted by visit date.
    The visit of the old is removed (hidden) in the list.

    There is no way to avoid this, other than to copy links to a file or bookmark links and treat them like that.

    Copy and paste this code into the address bar to open an edit window in a tab.
    You can also create a bookmark to the location set to the code for complete data.

    data:text/html,<html><head><title>EDIT window</title></head><body onload="document.body.contentEditable='true';" onclick="if(event.shiftKey){this.contentEditable='false';this.innerHTML=this.innerHTML.replace(/(<\/a>)/ig,'$1<br>');event.preventDefault();}" height="99%" width="100%"></body></html>
    

    Click to the left of a history item in the sidebar of history to, select that item, but not open it.
    Select multiple items using the shift and the slider down and copy the selected items to the Clipboard using the context menu.

    If you click on the page that was open to the above displayed code data, then you should see a slider.
    Press Ctrl + V or shift + insert to paste the contents of the Clipboard to the page web (the context menu does not work).
    Once you are done copying, you can hold the SHIFT key and click on the text to cut the contentEditable mode has and make clickable links.
