Issue of Cluster data store

Hello

Is it possible to have 4 ESXi clusters, each with their own set of SAN data warehouses, all joined to a Cluster of unique data store? I have not found exactly this configuration described anywhere. I understand there are limitations such as 32 data etc. stores and paths to data warehouses will be available from certain hosts.

Has anyone tried this before? I'm trying to simplify investment VM for Cloud management platform.

Thank you

Mike

This is a supported configuration, and I have a few clients that are running this configuration without problem. Have a look here for details: linking DRS multiple clusters in a single Storage DRS datastore cluster. - frankdenneman.nl

  • remove the Cluster data store data store

    I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

    Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated).

  • Question about the creation of cluster data store

    I'm running vSphere 5.1 and want to enable storage Drs before as I have create the cluster data store, I was reading through VMware vSphere 5.1, but don't see any confirmation when I add data to the cluster storage, the virtual machines using these storage of data is not affected.

  • Bay of Cluster data store turns into a string?

    I am very new to the vCO (or maybe I should call vRO now) and therefor also very new to script and digging through the API, so I apologize if this is a bit of a noob question.

    I'm currently running below script to find the data store cluster to a cluster host with more available space.

    However, I also want to check for the text in the name of the data store. For this I use indexOf.

    If indexOf detects all matches, it should add the DSC (or pod) in a table.

    But it seems that this operation turns my array into a string.

    Because it is a new environment I have only a DSC connected to the cluster hosts, but I still think that it should be able to be an array with a single value?

    Find the Cluster and related variables

    var hostarray = System.getModule ("com.vmware.library.vc.cluster") .getAllHostSystemsOfCluster (inCluster);

    Host = hostarray [0];

    pool = inCluster. ResourcePool;

    level of var = 'High';

    Find warehouses of data in Cluster

    var = host.datastore data warehouses;

    Find Clusters of Cluster data store

    var storagePods = new Array();

    var storagePodNames = new Array();

    for (d in data warehouses) {

    if (data [d].parent.vimType warehouses is "StoragePod") {

    if (storagePodNames.indexOf (datastores [d].parent.name) < = - 1). {

    storagePodNames.push (datastores [d].parent.name);

    storagePods.push (datastores [d] .parent);

    }

    }

    }

    System.log (' storagePods: ' + storagePods [0].) Summary.freeSpace);

    Find Clusters corresponding to the layer data store

    var podTierArray = new Array();

    for each {(var pod in storagePods)

         if (pod.name.indexOf (tier) > = 0) {

    podTierArray += pod;

    }

    }

    podTierArray becomes a string instead of table after above operation :(((

    System.log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray [0]);

    System .log (' podTierArray: ' + podTierArray);

    Here is the result of the above script:

    [12:24:27.307 2015-02-27] [I] storagePods: 4497773428736

    [12:24:27.308 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: D

    [12:24:27.310 2015-02-27] [I] podTierArray: DynamicWrapper (Instance): [VcDatastore]-[class com.vmware.vmo.plugin.vi4.model.VimDatastore] - VALUE: < datastore-386 > Datastore 'high Datastore01 '.


    I'm guessing that "D" is the first character in the string (which should be an array), which is also attested by the third row of the output when I print the entire string.

    Because this time is a string I can't use it as an object, for example "podTierArray. Summary.freeSpace' give me an error that it is a property not set.

    In addition, as you can see earlier when I use the variable ""storagePods "this is a picture I have run the podTierArray. "


    Why would he suddenly become a string instead of an array of objects?

    Hi Oskar,

    It happens because of this line in your code

    podTierArray += pod;
    

    This is not the right way to add the element in a table. You need to take it

    podTierArray.push(pod);
    
  • Cluster data store

    Currently we have a number of data warehouses VMStore_Live1 at 8, recently we had a data store to fill and this due to a problem with some of the virtual machines running in our direct environment.

    I had a thought on the use of cluster data store so storage DRS would be used between data warehouses, we are currently using NetApp, would be one of your recommend using cluster data store? or is there some catch with this?

    We have a host with DRS and HA cluster, but at the moment we have just warehouses of separate data which manually migrate us vm.

    Yes,

    We have two modes:

    1 manual load balancing

    2. automatic load balancing

    We do not have partially automated our way to BLAH DRS cluster.

    Note that: automated initial investment is excluded in both modes: DTS generates a recommendation of initial investment which still requires a manual confirmation.

  • Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

    How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

    I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

    Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

    Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

  • Clone a virtual machine to a Cluster data store

    Hello

    Really simple (hopefully), but I'm trying to write a workflow that includes the provision of a virtual computer to a cluster of data store. I'm a link to the workflow 'Clone the virtual machine, no customizations' that only accepts a store of input data.

    I hope that I am a bit stupid here and there is a simple answer?

    Thank you.

    There is no simple answer.  DRS clusters are actually a set of rules and not a real thing, you can deploy a VMDK.  I suggest to use Onyx to deploy a virtual computer to a DRS cluster and see what it generates.  If I remember correctly, it executes DRS rules to get a recommendation for where to put a VMDK fundamentally and then uses the exit in order to actually deploy the model.

    I opted to write just a simple workflow that finds the data store with the most of freespace that corresponds to a string - for example, if I have a DRS cluster named DSCluster_ugabuga, I have a lot of data stores named something like "ugabuga... ».  So you ask these storages of data and find the one which most freespace.

  • Creating a new Cluster data store

    Can we move a data store in a Cluster of data while its machines store still virtual hosting?  I was not able to find information on this.

    You can move the datastore in the store Cluster data without any downtime, and while VMS are running on it. (This is as same as you put cluster host, while VMS are running).

    I have 2 groups where the data store names are the same in each cluster. I would like a way to be able to see who have warehouses of data 15% or less of free space and the data store cluster that belongs to.

  • Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store

    Hello

    Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.
