Local Datastore become inactive after a long time

Hello

I'm under ESXI 4.1 (260247), on a DELL R410, with a DELL SATA SAS6/IR controller, with 2 x 500 GB SATA drives.

Everything worked very well, but since a week after awhile, my data store become inactive.

I can always connect to vsphere, but the data store is indicated as being inactive. VM seems to be runing again (nobody is marked as inactive), but I can't ping anyone, nor to achieve using the Console or SSH.

The only solution I found is to reboot the host (which takes 30-40 minutes, he attempts to save the State of the virtual machine, but appear to it cannot, as the data store is turned off.). In any case, after 30-40 minutes, reboot the server and everything works well.

The data store become inactive, always during the night. During the night, I have a job that back up my mail server. Perhaps it's because of a strong e/s disks, then the data store to become inactive, even if it seems odd, because I had this job running for months without any problem.

I have nothing in the newspapers, so a bit hard to debug.

I tried a new analysis of Scan VMFS Modules, update the data store, the controller, but nothing works hope to restart the host.

If someone has an idea, it would be greatly appreciated, because I can't sleep too in recent weeks, because I need to check if my server is still going every night...

Thank you!

Hi Frank,.

I think that your SATA driver is the ahci module.  The problem you see would also be good disk hardware or faulty controller.  The test equipment is a good idea - it is more likely a hardware problem if it worked so long on 4.0 without problem.

You can see what the parameters are configurable ahci has by running:

esxcfg-module i - ahci

If there is a stated maximum hardware queue depth parameter, which is the default, and you can try to change with:

esxcfg-module - s = ahci

Reboot and confirm the new setting with:

esxcfg-module g - ahci

Select this option.

    Google Calendar becomes inactive in Firefox. Can not navigate, cannot change the appointments, can only view an appointment, then freezes and nothing is more possible.
    Reset Firefox solves the problem for some time (sometimes minutes), then it becomes inactive.

    The extension Freeven pro is probably the problem. Only that disable and check again.

    If you have the same problem after having disabled the extension pro Freeven then, disable graphics hardware acceleration.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

    In safe mode hardware, acceleration is disable by default.

  • Visual Studio 2008 Pro takes a long time to start after the installation of measurement Studio 2009

    After installing Measurement Studio 2009, I noticed that it takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to open a Visual Studio project.

    I do not have an internet connection on my development computer and suspect he might be waiting on some kind of operation of the network to time out.  I had problems with Visual Studio in the past as well and had to work around them by adding entries to my hosts file (to redirect some addresses of Microsoft to the local IP address - this causes network operations to expire immediately).

    Just curious if anyone has encountered this kind of slow startup time and found a solution.

    Thank you!

  • desktop computer takes a long time to load after uninstall of netware

    Dear Pascal, recently, by chance, I installed the client service for Netware on my PC. He asked to restart the computer, and after reboot, logon screens became classic. I uninstalled netware by accessing the properties of LAN. I managed to restore logon screens using Microsoft resources available on the net. However, my PC now takes * for long time for the desktop icons and toolbar are displayed. I use Microsoft Windows XP Version 2002 SP3, Intel Core2Duo processor P8600 @2.40 Ghz with 2 GB of RAM on Lenovo Thinkpad R400. I understand that it is after uninstalling the netware client that my office is very very slow. Help me for a faster loading of the desktop computer. Best regards, Reba Shankar

    Several times after that I opened Google it does not connect to the internet. Has worked for a long time, and now it will not. Sometimes it opens if you "Refresh" sometimes not.  Help, please. It has been stable over the years and now it will not work. I get no help when I diagnoise of problems, but I never. It has been checked and rechecked. PitStop does not even recognize a problem. I could change the homepage, but I prefer to use Google if it works. Frustrating.

  • Windows 7 takes a long time to load the desktop after login

    Hello

    I am using windows 7 on my HP 530 laptop. My friend who installed and activated, but I think that it has installed the cracked version. After installation, it was really perfect. but after a while when I connected to the internet, some updates have been installed, and then when I logged in the windows, he invites me that you are using a pirated version or something like that (I don't know more actually). then I restored to my previous state and then everything was fine. After that I stopped the automatic updates, but these days my startup window is having a few problems. After entering the password, its taking a long time to load the office and its keep on the list "loading, please wait...". »

    I'm so sick of that, also, I have to restart my laptop by pressing the power button, and after the reboot, it works fine. But I need someone to answerwhy its taking a long time to load the desktop...?

    Also, please give me some advice to solve this problem, keep this idea in mind that my computer is virus free and got a good processor and RAM. I installed my windows in the C drive, and in my C drive only almost 2 GB of space is left (or almost). and there is no program running auto in msconfig, other than gtalk, Skype, etc.

    I'll be really grateful if someone please give me the solution.

    HP would have provided your preinstalled laptop with win, they would also have provided a way to recover your laptop to the specifications of the factory, either through discs of recovery or a hidden restore partition that you need to access in order to make recovery disks. How do you access a recovery partition is an option of HP, is not dealing with a MS - visit the HP website, specific to your model for more details on how.

    If an illegal win7 version has been installed, or you have to buy version of win7 you need, or you need to recover your laptop provided that the factory provided, by doing so, you lose everything on the phone, if you have lost or that you can not do the restore cd and then telephone HP support they would usually provide records for a small fee.

  • After that effects 2015.3 takes a long time to open, left after the closing process running

    My AE 2015.3 takes very long time to start. He gets the message "Initializing MediaCore" on the splash screen and then hangs there for 1-3 minutes. It opens also a ton of "Adobe After Effects 2015.3" tasks in the Task Manager, leaving them running even after I quit the program.

    Here is what my task manager looks at this time (no AE running)

    AECrazy.jpg

    So far, what I've done:

    1 uninstalled all Adobe software, including Adobe CC Panel

    2 uninstalled all 3rd party plugins, scripts, and presets

    3. manually deleted all files from adobe - complete cleaning

    4. re-installed AE and some other programs

    (all with reboot between the two).

    No difference.

    Help?

    Apparently, nVidia GeForce drivers are at fault. The break of v368.81 WHQL way Adobe applications communicate with Media Core, make After Effects, first and slow speed Grade, leaving the additional processes in their wake and spoil some plugins 3rd party.

    Returning to a previous driver nVidia solved all the problems.
