• Empty data store will not be in Maintenance mode

  I have an empty data store, which is not in maintenance mode.

  It hangs on 'Waiting for all the virtual machine files be migrated from data store'... which is an expression that is not even appear in Google.

  

  Here are the contents of the data store

  

  I've migrated all guests who have been on it.  Disconnected the ISOs of the hosts that use and deleted all ISOs.

  The related strange thing is that some of the guests who were on the data store are still showing as being connected to it.

  

  Many assume that it is because she is always connected to an ISO image, but as you can see there is no ISO disk images and there is nothing to hide in these files.  I have not had no problem in removing the ISO images, and Yes, I have unplugged ISO images before fast vMotioning of customers.

  Why they always think that they are connected to something I don't understand, but I suspect that it is one of the reasons for my data store does not in maintenance mode.

  I'm under ESXi 5.1.0 799733 (custom build of IBM) on the BladeCenter HS22V blades.  Storage is connected by zFCP to a midsize v7000 IBM.

  I assume that this is a bug in the system.  Please let me know if I'm wrong.

  One of your virtual machines have the pictures that have been taken so that something (ISO, for example) was mounted on this data store?

• Error to remove empty data store - the resource is in use.

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem with the removal of my empty data VMFS3 store I rebooted the host already, but somehow, he's always stuck not asupprimer, can someone help me remove this empty data VMFS3 store please?

  Thank you.

  I like to use the tab 'Maps' to see if any SMV always access the data store.  It is much easier to check the settings for a good number of virtual machines.

  Select the "Maps" tab and just put a check mark in the box for VM to the data store

  Click apply relationships

  If there is no line in the data store to be deleted, it means that a virtual machine is always oriented to the data store.

  If this is the case, change the settings of the virtual machine so it does not more point to this data store.

• Pouvez ESXi 4.0 to randomly delete all in a data store?

  I'll put up a test server ESXi. I had several virtual machines installed, he tested for a few months and was almost ready to put it into production. I installed it on a flashdrive of ESXi and had implemented our Synology DS209 RAID 1 NAS NFS data store.

  Yesterday, I installed a program on one of the XP virtual machine when all frose upward and I couldn't do a thing. I waited for a minute or two and finally tried to reset the virtual machine. This also seemed to have no effect, but after 2-3 minutes the bar to reset the vm started to go. Reset frose seized finnished for even 5-6 minutes before it finnally says "waiting for host" or something to that effect. I tried to log in Vsphere client to check what was going on, but received a message the host took time to answer. I tried several times but got the same message. I finally did a hard reset of the host as a last resort.

  When the host came, I was able to connect to Vsphere, but my datastore was gone! When I created the NFS datastore folder on the NAS, all my iso and VM have disappeared as well! It was not a file in this folder was left on the NAS. All other files on the NAS from network backup were fine and all files were there. I tried hard to recover the files, but do not have mangaged yet. The biggest problem is cannot determine the cause of the problem. How can I determine if there was a problem with NAS, glitch in VMware, a kind of Hacker/virus or something else? More importantly, how can I stop to happen?

  There is nothing in ESXi who would, on its own, remove all. If this is going to be a HOST I would not rely on a low end device as my store of data storage in an autonomous way. Add local drives and use the Synology DS209 for backup storage.

  Have you looked through records of storage from another source. You can often use several protocols to access the same directories. Try allowing CIFS on the same directory and try to access it from a Windows machine.

• Can photos be deleted from the data store directly?

  Hello

  I just doubt. Can shapshots be deleted directly from the data store.

  I checked the Snapshot Manager, but was not able to locate snapshots in it, but at the same time there were three snapshots in particular virtual machine data store. What it means?

  And what is my isNativeSnapshot = 'no'?

  I just doubt. Can shapshots be deleted directly from the data store.

  No, snapshots work as a string. Deletion of one of the links in the chain breaks the chain. Please take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1015180 to see how snapshots work.

  I checked the Snapshot Manager, but was not able to locate snapshots in it, but at the same time there were three snapshots in particular virtual machine data store. What it means?

  Information about snapshots are kept in .vmsd the virtual machine folder. If this file is corrupt - for some reason-you won't see the correct string snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.

  Please create a list of all files in the folder of the virtual machine (dir *. * /oen > filelist.txt (for Windows) or ls-lisa > filelist.txt (for Linux)) and after (tie) the filelist.txt, file .vmx VM as well as the file .vmsd for your next post.

• Unable to download the file to the data store

  Hello

  Can someone help me on this, I'm trying to download a file to the local data store on the esxi host, but its failure

  used as below

  $ds = get-data center 'test ' | Get-file "CISCO UCS B200 M3 | Get-VMHost | Get-Datastore "datastore."

  $destination = "\".

  $source = "D:\All Cisco\ENICandFNIC readers for UCSver2.2.C\updated drivers" - this folder

  New-PSDrive-location $ds - name VimDatastore - PSProvider ds-root $destination

  Set-Location ds:------.

  Copy-DatastoreItem-point $source - Destination $destination

  What error messages you get? When I run your script, only an empty folder is performed on the data store. When you add "-recurse" it also copies child items (files and directories)

  $ds = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*"
  

  $destination = "\"
  

  $source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
  

  New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
  

  Set-Location ds:\ New-PSDrive -Location $ds -Name ds -PSProvider VimDatastore -Root $destination
  

  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination $destination -Recurse
  

  But it's only 1 data store, if I understand your example, you are trying to copy to different data stores. This could easily be done like this:

  $DS = Get-Datacenter "test" |Get-Folder "CISCO UCS B200 M3"|Get-VMHost |Get-Datastore "datastore*" | select name,DatastoreBrowserPath
  

  $source = 'D:\Test ' # -- this folder
  

   foreach ($datastore in $ds){
  

  Copy-DatastoreItem -Item $source -Destination  $datastore.DatastoreBrowserPath -Recurse
  

  }
  

• 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

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  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). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Get-hard drives - storage drives data store migrate between data warehouses

  Hi all

  
  

  Our current storage configuration with specially designed split-role of the bases of data storages (OS, LOG SQL, SQL DATA, APP, Exchange roles, etc.)  I do a storage store on my VMware Infrastructure and hoped to target only the disks of virtual machines that are on any data store and migrate them to another.  Rather new to PowerCli if you're wondering why the bellows of the command does not work and the reports that the file is locked.
  

  
  

  Get-hard drive - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Moving-hard drive - data store Datastore02

  If the machine virtual itself is made aware of the command?  Would I have to enumarte the virtual machines on the first data store and then target discs that everyone has and redirect it to the hard disk Move command?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you are banging in the sequence of commands trying to move a file on the data store without referencing the virtual machine. According to the State of the virtual machine (lit or not) of different things happen

  • VM power off - the disc is moved and the virtual machine is broken (the vmx file will always point to the original location for the HD that is no longer there)
  • Virtual MACHINE power - the disk is locked, so it cannot be moved (the error you have seen)

  Another thing to keep in mind is that the configuration of the VM is also on a data store, so if you want to move the entire virtual machine you can just move the hard drives

  If all the virtual machines on a data store have all their HDs on this data store then you can do something like

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Move-VM - data store "Datastore02".

  To access the VM configuration, but also his records. If you have virtual machines where the disks into a single virtual machine, then you will have a little more work to do to sort the records that must be moved

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Get-hard drive | Where-Object {$_.} FileName.Contains ("[Datastore01]")} | Moving-hard drive - data store "Datastore02".

  This is all virtual machines with a component (hard drive or configuration) on Datastore1, and then for each VM is all hard disks that are on Datastore01 and the Datastore02

• Error during activation of data store single heartbeat

  Hello

  I have a cluster HA (5.5) newly created using vSAN as a data store unique. HA cluster is configured with das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore, but when I select vSAN datastore in the favorite heartbeat datastore, I get the following error:

  The userHeartbeatDs setting is not valid for the cluster NOMCLUSTER

  Google could not find a single post/page mentioning this error.

  Any help would be much appreciated!

  Perhaps this explains - it.

  VSAN part 9 - host failure scenarios & amp; vSphere HA Interop | CormacHogan.com

  Another notable difference with vSphere HA on VSAN, it's that the VSAN data store cannot be used for the heartbeat of data store. ...

  I guess that this is due to the local VMFS-L version used with VSAN that does not use the same locking mechanism as a VMFS default data store.

• VM shows always refers to the old data store after storage vMotion?

  All the:

  We have recently set up a SAN Equalogic and plugged into our environment vSphere. We are moving our VM to SAN storage, off the coast of local disk. After treatment of a virtual machine, we always show the reference to the old data store on the summary page when you look at this VM. However, when we look at the settings, HARD drive shows that the vmdk file is infact on the SAN?

  Is there a reason why it would still showing upward for both?

  Thank you

  (1) check if the virtual machine has snapshots and maybe its pointing to the old datatore

  (2) check if any ISO is mounted on the virtual machine to the old data store

  After the screenshot of the VM folder by browsing the old data store

• Data store network shares

  I was wondering if it was possible to create a network share active of a folder that exists in the data store?

  If so, how can I achieve this?

  The reason is that I'm looking for an easier way to access the files in my LAN test instead of always create .iso files and assembling them.

  Your help is appreciated

  Why not create a new portgroup to Test LAN? with this virtual machine in local network can access files without need to convert them to ISO.

• Role permissions to user/required to upload/remove data store files

  Hello.

  I am not able to find information on the specific roles/permissions required to load or delete files in a data store.

  Thanks in advance

  If you go into the roles data store as there are options to browse datastore and deleting the file, those who should do it.

• Cannot delete the local data store empty on ESXi 4

  Hi all

  Does anyone know how to kill the process that uses / block the process of removing the ESXi 4 data store?

  I have this provblem in VI Client when I was in the middle of the removal of the Local data store

  Remove datastore

  The resources ESXi02_VMFS vim.host.DatastoreSystem is in use.

  It's production live environment so is possible to kill the process without having to restart the ESXi 4 crowd?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  AWT

  OK so first try to connect with viclient to ESXi directly and see if you can remove the data store.

  The command you need to nod your head do buisness hours.

  Good luck!

• Cannot delete files or folders of data store

  I'm trying to remove some of the ISO in our data store to free up space.  Some of them we were able to remove without problem, there are a few that will not a reason delete, it goes through the process, as it's deletion then when it is at 80% on the status bar, a message "cannot delete the file ISOs/resources 2 k 5" ideas how I can get rid of this folder?  The folder is not empty, I tried to delete the file first, then the file and get the same error twice.

  are you sure that this .iso in question is not connected to any guest?

• Flat VMDK files after trying to delete files from data store

  I tried to delete a VMDK file in a data store, because I thought that it was not in use, and I need space. I couldn't get the VM you are looking for the name of the VMDK file, so I thought that the VM has disappeared. Turns out that someone had renamed the virtual machine, when it was actually being used, so I could not remove the VMDK file.

  I searched for the files with Powershell in a data store, and that's how I found this mysterious file in the first place.

  After giving me the error that it couldn't be deleted, the file does not appear in the search more and the name of the file has been replaced by *-dish. VMDK, I think, and the column by specifying the Type just said file, instead of virtual disk. In addition, files not included in the research more.

  Today, a day after, everything is back to normal. Everyone knows this behavior before and could tell me what happened?

  Each virtual disk is actually 2 files: VMname.vmdk and VMname - flat hard

  Unfortunately, the data store browser displays only the VMname... VMDK, but it gives the properties of VMname - flat hard. Use PuTTY, connect to the ESXi host via ssh, navigate to the folder of the virtual machine and use: the - lahtr to list the contents of an authoritarian way. You can also run: - ch to check actual use.
