• SCSI local data store connectivity issues

  Hi all
  I installed the server ESXi 4.1 before six months. now, I've seen continuous events related to data store connectivity issues. I changed the SATA cable also, but it won't help. How can I fix this without interrupting the VMs.

  As ESXi before 5, it is located on the var

• 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

• SWAP file data store remove issue

  Hello

  I'm currently moving VMs to the data store newly created as well the datastore file swap. I have already change on all ESXi hosts, the data store were swap file will reside, however, I have still a few virtual machines on the old data store. I know not if I vMotion virtual machines from one host to another it will change the location for the swap file. My question is, can I just remove the old data store without affecting production not VMs remained the swapfile on the old location? Just try to find a solution faster than vMotion every single one of the virtual machines.

  Thanks for any suggestions or comments!

  Chris

  Hello

  As long as all hosts are no longer using the data store and the cluster is not defined using volume swapfile host (rather than storing with VM) then you should be able to disassemble the old swap partition.

  Bare in mind, vMotion/svMotion a virtual computer, you must be sure to move all the files and the virtual machine is set to store his exchange with the virtual machine files. Check that the old swap partition is no longer in use, and then take it apart. In theory the fastest way is to ensure that all VMs are defined to store swap with virtual machine files to the off and on again, forcing a new .vswp file in the same device. But it would of course affect your VM availability.

  I've seen in the past that even if the volume was no longer used by the guests, that guests required a restart until I managed to remove the old Exchange store data, just in case you meet that!

• Data store / latency issues with HP ProLiant DL380 G7 - controller HP Smart Array P410i after disk 2014.09.0 SPP / hpsa - 5.0.0.74 update

  Hello

  We are currently investigating massive data store and the problems of latency of disk (mainly READING) on some of our HP ProLiant DL380 G7 with P410i (BBWC) controller.

  It all started after our half of regularly updated cycle for ESXi 5.1 U2 to:

  ESXi510-201407001 (no problem)

  -hp - esxi5.0uX - bundle - 2.1.1 - 2 (no problem)

  -HP-HPUtil-esxi5.0-bundle-2.1-15 (no problem)

  -hpsa - 5.0.0.74 (pilot) & SPP2014.09.0 (-assigned problems)

  It is not a permanent increase in the latency of reading, but rather meeting points that trigger alerts of Veeam. Store of data read latency increases about 5 MS to 100 ms as soon as this happens, but after a few seconds, everything is back to normal. These data warehouses special are RAID5 (but we have also seen some alerts on RAID1), having read and write cache enabled and the most affected machines are those with the LOWEST its use.

  We have a few WinServer2012R2 RDP for a small number of sessions (less than 5) - there is no noticeable delay on work on these.

  Maybe someone of you knows a similar behavior after you apply the updates of HP ProLiant servers. We don't have any idea on what to try next, a SPP restoration is not possible, maybe the pilot, but we find the correct predecessor, as the old drivers of 2014 HPSA leads the Group on the host computer.

  Best regards

  HZ

  Hello

  most likely, you have already solved the problem... I did some research and was in contact with HP. It is a problem with the driver hpsa - 5.0.0.74. It occasionally crashes when used with P410i. In the papers, you can find "WARNING: LinScsi: SCSILinuxAbortCommands:1843: failure, pilot hpsa to vmhba0. HP knows talking and working on the new driver. As a workaround, you can use hpsa - 5.5.0.60 (at least it works well for us).

• Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

  Hi people,

  We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

  We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

  Following problem.

  When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

  After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

  Any ideas?

  Concerning

  Jean

  How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

  If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

  A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

  I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

• Issue of reports of data store

  Looking for a fairly simple report... I've seen reports that do what I want, but I don't have the knowledge to assemble them.

  You are looking for the following information:

  Name of data store - free space (in GB if possible) - number of virtual machines on the data store

  I found this to get the number of virtual machines on the data store:

  Get-Datastore. Sort-Object Name. Get-View | Format-Table @{Label = "Data store name"; {Expression = {$_.Info.Name}}, @{Label = 'Number of virtual machines'; Expression = {$_.} UM length}}

  That works, but I need to add a column free space.

  FreeSpace is stored in the. Property of Info.FreeSpace.

  Just add another column as

  @{Label = "FreeSpaceGB"; Expression={$_.info.FreeSpace/1gb}}

  To put it all together:

  Get-Datastore

   

   

  | Sort-Object Name | Get-View | Format-Table @{Label = "Data store name"; {Expression = {$_.Info.Name}}, @{Label = 'Number of virtual machines'; Expression = {$_.} UM length}}, @{Label = "FreeSpaceGB"; Expression={$_.info.FreeSpace/1gb}}

  See you soon,.

• Issue of strange things in data store

  Just learn and love this online thing! I have a VMWare ESX 3 Server, and when I look through the VIC (browser data store) data warehouses, I see only one store of data server1:storage1. However when I look into Veeam FastSCP I see two folders:

  Server1:storage1

  1234567d 2-9dab624-6812-00cc493acbc

  And the two files seems to contatine the same exact data

  Same time exact change on the files etc...

  I wondered what it could be and should I pull to the store of data with the correct name or the one with the name number?

  No, do not take double the disk space. They are the same drive. Look like a file and in the windows world, a shortcut or a folder and a link into the world of nix. One is just one friendly pointer where the other one is the UID for the disc.

• General issue of file on why my data store has 3 files with a _1 and _2

  OK, I'm a little new to this thing of VMware, but I was the main actor in this migration and have been the building and move all our servers to our ESX 3.5 with a back-end SAN platform.

  I did well until this weird thing, that I think that I understand, but I just don't know how to solve, or how it happened.  And right next to the bat, no I did not the instant code with this server... those that have been cleaned in the time there... Now

  My situation:

  I have virtual machines that are created equal, that they all have a 'C' drive for the operating system on another dedicated "LUNS for OS Storage" and then they have their readers of 'd' of the newspapers "SQL" on a dedicated LUN in mirror, and then the 'E' drive is on dedicated aonther "LUN DATA.

  If all servers have 2 or 3 LUNS associated with them. That's how the SAN engineer and I designed it. OK works great.  Until one day, I noticed that I was shy about 40 GB space on my SQL LUN. Took time but I think I found the culprit, but I don't know how to solve this problem, or if it will break my dose. So here I ask you all.

  One of my servers called "Server01" has 2 drives associated with it and supposedly 2 / 2 data warehouses, or even what he had initially when it was built in August!

  Now, the operating system data store is fine.

  When I'm on Console V and I click with the button straight on my server and go to his 'change settings' is what I see:

  SERVER01of properties on the "change settings of ' Advanced ' your drive hard 1" to the appropriate LUN and all the VMDK and those files are there. ""  (IE OS LUN 10)

  But "hard drive 2" pointing to the right LUNS (IE SQL LUN11), but his record is called "server01_2"?  What?    She was built and given a hard drive on this LUN, but the name of the folder is wrong.   So I'll browse my store data and low and this is, I have 3 files with the same server name (IE... ( Server01, Server01_1, Server01_2 ) OK so what happened? Why? How? and how in the heck can I get my space back 40gig?

  I checked records the name of the original server, as well as the other files on the data store with the numbers in the annex of _1 and 2 and they have all VMDK files in it... of course dates on all the VMDK files are different and I guess that since the server points to the folder called + "SERVER012" + and its VMDK file has the most recent data buffer on this subject since the last Vmotion We did it, he must then use this folder.

  OK great... but now that messes up my folder structure, and if this server does not use other VMDK files and folders he ate up to 40 GB of my precious space!

  I'm pretty sure when I went on vacation last year, because it is the time of the timestamp on the VMDK files in older records and "dates of the task of the procedures as" trying to clone, suspend, model, reconfgure, snapshot "etc. that the other members of the team tried to do something, which lead to my having 3 files on my store of data with 3 VMDK files in them.?  Nobody seems to know or remind us what it is they are trying to do... great... Well...

  I just want to know + If the server points to a folder called "Server01_2" and it has the most recent date stamp on this subject, can I then rename other files? + and then I can delete them?   And if I successful, how can I get my server to have the name of the correct folder again?    Instead of a * _2* on the end of it?

  Any suggestion would be great!    I learned the hard way that if your VM operating system is built and pointing to a file with a specific name, and you try to rename it to match the server, your operating system does not start!. LOL I hope that is not the case with a folder that has a 20gig assigned to HDD with oner VMDK file in it...

  Help!

  Thank you

  No problem.  Cold migration allows you to move all your files in a data store.  You can use svmotion to move disks to different LUN, but the syntax is somewhat more complex.  The help option shows exactly how to move a machine virtual disk at a time.  Basically, you can move a disk with the config file, so basically, you move the config file and the disk of your choice in the data store that you need.  Move back the config for the original data store file, then repeat the process with the next disc.

• How to use the command to move the machine to a data store in another data store in WTT(Windows Test Technology) Atlas (2.7)?

  I searched doc help WTT Atlas, just found this: "the MoveMachine command allows users to move client computers between the basins of the machine. This command assumes that the user has permissions of correction to carry out operations and generates an error if this is not the case. "

  Note: this command just explain machine displacement between the watersheds of the machine instead of the data store.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  If anyone knows what I m hurt you showme how please!

  Two thoughts:

  1. If you have changed somehow the object type that you want to keep, you must remove the Simulator files before running again.
  2. How about you provide a clue as to where the class cast exception that happens? You are more likely to help in this way.

• ESXI 6.0, problem of data store local ssd

  Hi all,

  I have a desktop pc (HP Elite 8200), i7 cpu, 1 x 250 GB HARD drive, 1 x 240 GB SSD... (240 GB do datastore with name SSD), there, installed free VMware ESXI 6.0 on 250 GB HARD drive.

  Yesterday to buy second SSD 240 GB, I want to increase datastore 'SSD' with the second disc, but the process is hang. No warning, no error... but can extend the data store. Trying to

  create the new datastore with second SSD, but still hang processes. Maybe someone has a similar issue?
  

  I try to change SATA cables - does not work for me, try to detach an SSD - works for me... Finally reinstall ESXI 6.0 U1 with ESXI 6.0 U2 - this work for me.

  successfully create datastore with 2 x 240 GB Kingston SSD.

• How many data store should be left to host his own execution

  Hi all

  I have EXSI 5.5 installed host recently. I'm going to create a new virtual machine on that host, but the data on this host store is about 2 TB and I want to put 1.8 to for my VM machine, so I only 0.2 TB left. The issue is with 0.2 left to there, that's enough to run its own code structures and data from the host? How to determine how much should be left? The same question for the memory and the processor.

  Could you please help with that?

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

  Thao

  ESXi is roughly Ligh weight. During Installation, the ESXi would automatically create the partitions. XXXX to hold (key code) bootbank, altbootbank, 4 Gigs vfat, store partition for tools and etc, that would be enough for the ESXi run and would not need anything else. A total of about 5 G of space is used and the rest should be left aside for you to create data stores to store virtual machines.

  From left to right on the space, ensure that you have left at least 20 to 30 GB per VM separately to run snapshots in your patch/maintenance cycles.

• Lost access to local data store

  Hi people:

  I have ESXi 6.0 running on an Intel S2600CWTS motherboard using the LSI SAS controller onboard and six readers Samsung 850 Pro SSD in a RAID 5 configuration.  This server is about a month and a half, and it worked fine for the first month, but in the last few weeks I started to do in the case where journal messages saying that ESXi has lost access to the data store, then, most of the time, about 15 seconds later access is restored.   Several times it took more time, which one crashed the server.  On these long, the motherboard Intel event log showed that a player had failed and began a regeneration and once the motherboard has shown that two different drives had failed, and it took both offline originally ESXi crashing.  On it that I was able to bring the two records back online via the RAID bios and everything worked fine again.  I suspect that I have hard disk problems because these discs are new and because different readers have been reported as failed, and also because no data has been lost even if 2 drives went offline at the same time.   I guess I could have a bad controller LSI, or a cable has come loose somewhere, but I expect to happen if it is really the case of data loss.

  I also noticed that lost access messages tend to appear in the log at the moment I start a virtual machine.  At first I thought that it would be one thing to flow, thinking a VM departure did a lot of IO, but this happens immediately, before even the bios of the virtual screen machine disappears, so I don't think that the virtual machine is actually reading the disc again.  In addition, as a precaution, I started the migration of some virtual machines on the server to the old server I still had available, and there is no lost access messages in the event log while that was happening, while about 50 megabytes per second of i/o has reached the disk during transfers.  I put the last patch on ESXi in mid-May, about two weeks before this started, and I begin to suspect that the patch may have something to do with it, because it seems to me that if something is happening between ESXi and the disk controller making hang up or lose interruptions during a short period of time , and I wonder if it goes pretty long if material in the motherboard sensors interpret this as some sort of hardware and simply brand failure according to readers I / O was hooked as bad then.

  Unfortunately I'm out of town now so I wanted more I had to the remote server, lest I do not not get back to the top.  I moved a couple of the most critical virtual machines from the old server which I was remotely start and transfer to virtual machines.  I also noticed that this issue tended to occur more frequently when I got to the top of the VCenter Server apparatus that any other (sometimes to others, but has happened every time I tried to start the device VCenter).  So who was the first that I moved to the old server, but strangely enough there is no error logged when I transferred the files, so the issue is not that ESXi had trouble reading the VMs vmdk file when I started it.

  I also wanted to ask you if there are any vibs for the LSI Megaraid controller on motherboard S2600CWTS I could install that would allow me to access the RAID controller without having to pick up the server and do it from the BIOS configuration screens, similar to how you can access the controller RAID from Dell while ESXi is running via a vib add-on.  So far I have not found one.

  My intention when I go to the server is to run an integrity check against the RAID 5 array via the controller and then use the AIMÉ ESXi utility on the data store to see if something is wrong here.  If not, then I guess I'll rewritten can patch.

  Ideas or suggestions welcome.

  Success!  I finally understood what the problem was corrected.  The problem is the fact that although the last vib driver LSI has been installed, for some reason any it would not automatically replace the default ESXi pilot lsi_mr3.  I did not notice that even though the latest driver package vib properly installed LSI controller was still using the original driver.  This could be considered by a 'esxcfg-scsidev - a' command showed that even "vmhba1 lsi_mr3 link-n/a sas.5001e67ca647e000 (0000:0: 00.0) controller LSI MegaRAID SAS Fury."  The second field after the controller (vmhba1) is the current manager used.  The pilot, which was to be used was: "vmhba1 megaraid_sas link-n/a unknown.vmhba (0000:03:00.0) Avago (LSI / Symbios Logic) Invader MegaRAID SAS controller.

  To fix this I had to disable the lsi_mr3 driver so that ESXi is forced to use it.  The procedure to do is the following:

  (1) make sure you have the new EXSi driver you want to use already installed.  I assume that bad things would happen if you have disabled the only driver who could run your disk controller.  Use this command to view the drivers installed: "esxcli software vib list" and you should get something similar to the following:

  Verify that the scsi-megaraid-sas driver is installed before proceeding.

  (2) to disable the lsi_mr3 driver do the following: "esxcli set of module system - enabled = false - module = lsi_mr3 '

  (3) reboot

  After restarting, do: "esxcfg-scsidev - a" to check megaraid_sas driver is assigned to your disk controller.

  I don't know how ESXi decided to prioritize if two or more drivers are applicable to a single hardware device, or if the installation of the new driver LSI process is supposed to disable or remove default lsi_mr3 driver and simply failed to do so.  Also, I don't know what's going to happen when I put on the next patch of ESXi, specially if the lsi_mr3 driver will be once more the priority.  If anyone knows how the driver installation process is supposed to work in this situation, please let me know.  I am so happy that I finally got this problem because the server has been seriously covered with the data store become unaccessable for 5 to 10 seconds every time a VM started or stopped, and the former driver at least once done something bad enough to deceive the controller into thinking that one of the disks has went wrong and began a RAID Resync.
