lost storage

A month ago I add a second SATA drive on my ESXi 3.5 b238493.

I set up this disk as third 1 TB data store and I installed a new virtual machine. Now, after 1 month of installation, I restarted the host computer and the virtual machine the first 2 old are OK, but the recent third vm is inaccessible. In the storage section, I do not see the data store, and if I go to storage add this disk to appear as a new drive.

Can know what is happen?

Thank you

Connect to the console (unsupported) of ESXi and check if your drive still contains partitions. (fdisk-lu)

The partition type has to be "FB". Please after the output of the above command.

    I have a problem of the 2 part that has been building.  I get error messages whenever I have try to defragment, & then the Defragmenter stops.  I was just let go of the problem.  But then I noticed that I lost the memory space.  I deleted almost all of the programs that I can, but I still only 277MB of available memory (less than 1%).  I don't know what is using all my hard drive space.  There are only a few programs installed.  I'm also 99% fragmented.  Defrag won't work without releasing the memory of 15%, but even if I HAD the memory, all I ever get is an error message when I try to defragment.  Now, my computer is so slow, it takes about 3 minutes to open a web page.  As it should be obvious, I'm not all that tech savy.  What can I do?

    Right-click your drive (C :) and select Properties, click on disk cleanup, select the file that you want to remove and read the details below.) Put a check mark in the box of files that you want to remove and click OK.

  • Lost storage functions HA

    Hello!

    I want to know if I missed something in the HA feature.

    I tested

    1. 1 host HA trick works very well (machine starts on another host)
    2. Remove all NIC 1 host HA works very well
    3. Remove all connectors (on the host) HA SAS don't work

    When 3 trials (removal of SAS) all machines that host still respond to ping and VC present them as functional console, do not work. For the HA to start, I turn to the host.

    Is there something to see on it?

    I have 2 host connected with 1 storage
    2 each hosts, connected to 1 storage SAS
    HA-host followed activate
    The host isolation response: stop
    ESXI 4.1 433742
    License, Essentials more

    This is an expected behavior - HA has been * no * intended to manage the loss of storage conditions, just because and certain conditions of network partition.  Its not supposed to detect this failure condition.

    Your next question is: ' well, it's ridiculous, how to recognize the loss of storage?

    Answer: upgrade to 5.x - it uses pulses of data store to manage this scenario.

  • Storage space lost on my mac

    Today, I tried to install OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.1 with SSD 250 GB 10 Windows via Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012). I had about 80 GB of free and I gave 40 for Windows and 40 GB for mac. I got to step within the training camp where it has partition my SSD, and I left for a few minutes. When I came back my Macbook has restarted. I opened disk utility and I saw that under APPLE SSD SM256E Media, it says 251 GB but under Macintosh HD only 209,79 GB of 47,91 GB of free capacity. It seemed have partitioned but it didn't and that's why I lost storage space.

    If she has not partitioned, where the missing Go? Why is the 209,79 only one GB of capacity? Please, help me. Thank you!

    Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

    diskutil list

    Cs diskutil list

    sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

    The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

  • Path of storage redundancy alert Question

    I have a setup of host to storage path monitor alerts.  The triggers are 'Lost connectivity of storage', lost storage path redundancy 'and degraded redundancy of storage path '.  I have the actions defined to send a SNMP trap once from yellow to red.  The behavior I see is an alert sent to the first problem (of path on the data store 1 failure), but no warning second on the second problem (failure path on the data store 2) – same host.  Someone has this configuration of alerts and you see this behavior?  I can understand why vCenter would send an alert to the front, simply because if we had problems on all 30 data stores on a host that would mean 30 separate alerts by the data store.  Multiply that out on a 8 or 16 cluster node and which would be quite a few alerts.

    Thank you

    We receive alerts for each data store is presented to the host, who is affected.  We had a downtime planned week last with our fabric X on one day and the fabric moving Y next Brocade to cisco.  As soon as the links have been droppped the alarm, kicking and we were informed of each data store.

  • Library of photos on external hard drive: not possible repair

    Hello world

    Today, when I tried to open my library of Photos, Photos crashed. After I have reopened, Photos asked that the library must be repaired. I started who, but after 2%, Photos crashed with "an unexpected error has occurred." A restart does not solve this problem. I still can't view the contents of the library package.

    I saw on messages earlier (for example, 10.10.3 Photos can not repair permissions), the output of this Terminal command can reveal the underlying error:

    find ~ $TMPDIR...------(-+ flags sappnd, uappnd, schg, uchg o! - user $UID o! - perm-600 o - acl-) 2 >/dev/null | WC-l

    Outputs this line in my case: 4471

    Please note that I'm storing my photo library, including all images imported into a separate external hard drive connected via USB.

    So perhaps the command above (where I'm not sure what it does) may not be to give the required output to track down the problem.

    Following the crash of the pictures, here is the output of the Console:

    You will be able to back up only the files that are there in your libraries.

  • Error: Initiator has tried to get around the security phase, but we cannot

    Hello

    Vss control volume, which is used my MS Volume Shadow service to access the clichés of material, there's a GUY configured username. However, the initiator does not send a name of user and password c...

    If you use the EQL TYPING kit, then you should allow these servers access to this volume.  Or change the ACL on this volume to allow that the servers that need to access.

    Alternatively, you can remove it from the Favorites tab, so that he tries to log in the next time the server starts.

    Finally, you can enable the discovery of prevnet filter this of is re - produce.

    Here is a KB from the Equallogic Web site.

    Solution title error: "initiator wanted to ignore the security phase but we can not." or "initiator has tried to circumvent the security phase but we cannot."

    Symptom of solution of details: event on the web interface of PS log table shows a connection error for a volume that says: "initiator wanted to ignore the security phase but we cannot." This error can be repeated continuously every few seconds.

    Question: by default, volumes that have enabled CHAP authentication will be shown during the process of iSCSI discovery even if the initiator does not have the authentication information c. Discovery is controlled by its address IP ACL, so if a machine matches the IP address of the ACL scope, we will see the volume. Note that multiple initiators such as those that are unix based as the initiator of the Cisco software that uses VMWare will continue to attempt to connect to the target (often, every two seconds), even if each connection attempt fails. This can fill the paper and the performance of the server can have an impact.

    Solution: Limit the discovery of volumes CHAP authenticated by IP address and ensure that only servers with appropriate credentials CHAP can observe the volume at all.

    The most common volume to see this error on is the special volume named "vss control." This volume is for communication with Microsoft's VSS service, using EqualLogic host integration tools. If it is configured for unlimited access, or is configured for the CHAP only, then each initiator on the SAN will be able to find out and may attempt to use it. Set ACL "vss-admin" to enter an IP address for each machine that needs to access, to ensure that no one else does.

    For firmware version 2.2.3 and, before going to the volume named 'vss-control', select the Access tab and change the entries here in a proper way.

    For the later version 2.3.2 (including all versions 3.X) firmware, go to the Configuration Group box and select the VSS/VDS. It's the ACL for the vss-control volume, which you should change as appropriate.

    It may be necessary to restart servers that try to access this volume after changing the ACLs, however. Some initiators do not release a target once they have discovered, even though the table indicates that the target does not exist. An example of this are ESX servers, using the software initiator.

    A second scenario may be a volume that is configured to be seen from in a VMWare server VM Windows using CHAP credentials and also install on the table to use a single connection Cap. Even if the credentials CHAP is setup correctly on each side if the ESX Server uses the software initiator that ESX will attempt to connect to the volume permanently every minutes or seconds depending on factors both. With configuration to several volumes in this way, it can be a drain on performance on ESX.

    To troubleshoot this scenario make sure to activate the iSCSI discovery of the IUG table of PS filter. This is done from the Group/iSCSI Configuration tab. check the box off and save the configuration using the Green disk icon in the upper right of the graphical interface. This makes the servers with the initiators that are correctly setup to see a volume with CHAP will see and try to connect to these volumes. Note: once an ESX Server has seen a volume to continue to try to connect with the software initiator until the ESX Server is restarted after this option is turned on.

    Note that, since the version of the firmware 3.0.5 and later, you can require authentication for CHAP-enabled volumes during discovery, by issuing the command in the CLI:

    GroupName > enable discovery-use-chap grpparams

  • Backup & Recovery in virtual environment

    Hello

    I need help to establish a good Backup & Recovery Strategy for VM-Ware with Oracle databases.

    Currently we use veeam backup the entire Virtual Machine during the night maintannce-window. On the virtual machine, we use RMAN to back up the databases, archivelogs fall under the machine.

    My problem:

    -If the virtual machine failure during the day, for example 16:00, cause of lost storage / instant failure that blocks the machine - I lose changes all day.

    So, where is the best place to save the logs to check-in during the day and how do I recover after an accident mentioned above? First step would be to recover the virtual machine with veeam, but subsequently? The database do not know what archivelogs were written, cause it contained last night?

    Thanks for your help.

    PS, we got the problem of the snapshot-crash on another machine, so it's really a thing that can happen.

    User106somethingorother,

    If you want to be able to recover in the case of the virtual machine / virtual disks are gone, you must ensure that your backups and archiving logs copied somewhere else.

    The users guide backup and restore (available at http://docs.oracle.com) would be the place to go to find out how to recover the database in many different scenarios, including one where you have lost direct control files and RMAN would therefore know about archiving logs is available.

  • New on vcops 5 having problems with its imperfections

    Hello

    I test in a small environment (cluster 4 knots, about 50 VMs) just to dig and learn.

    Last weekend we had a power outage due to snow in the city, guests have more redundancy in the storage Bay.

    The problem has been resolved but the vCenter Operations Manager still shows 0 health and 100 flaw say "lost storage path redundancy.

    How can I get rid of this error in the interface? The location is good, I expect vCenter Operations Manager to retrieve automatically, but is not.

    1) go to the 'Alerts' of this CR tab.
    (2) in the grid of alerts, look for the corresponding fault alert;

    3) there is a Cancel button (5th button from left to right). It only works for fault alerts

    (4) select alerts in the grid, and then click Cancel - defects should disappear and restored to normal health.

  • Storage lost after updating to iOS 10

    I feel a little lost. I read that the update of iOS 10 should provide more free space on my phone.

    I did more than 1 GB free on my phone before updating to iOS 10. Now, after update, I have 50 MB of free space. And I can't find the reason for this. The only explanation is the update of iOS.

    This has happened with anyone else? How can I solve this?

    He immediately resolve starting with the settings > general > storage & use iCloud > manage storage (in storage).  It lists your large space users.  Begin to remove immediately, that you do not have your iPhone to work at all with so little free space.

    You need a minimum of 10% of the total space of your free device.

  • I lost my phone and when I got my new one I downloaded my photos on the cloud. My storage is still listing my old phone do I delete just and doesn't affect anything else?

    I lost my Iphone and buy a new. I uploaded my photos to the cloud. When I look at my storage it still shows the old phone. Can I just remove and not screw up anything else?
