LUN in VmWare vCenter 6.0

Hi all

I use vmware vcenter 6.0. I'm trying to discover LUNS seen by the host ESX using VmWare CLI power.

I see that some LUNS are returned in form:

NAA.600a09804d5345626124467a3349316f

NAA.5000c500174cc4ff

NAA.600a09804d5345626124467a33493170

While some are:

MPX.vmhba32:C0:t0:l0

MPX.vmhba32:C0:t0:l0

Why is this difference in naming? They indicate different types etc.?

Also I get null for RunTimeName these LUNs. Why is this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello

NAA.xxxxxxxx is an investigation of SCSI ID and mpx.vmhba is a path-based identification.

Essentially, it's ESXi assignment of unique identifiers for storage devices, mpx.vmhba is usually a local device and naa.xxxx is a shared storage, naa.xxxxx ID is unique and persistent across all your hosts in order to ensure the coherence of the cluster for any host you query the naa.xxxxxx that id should always refer to the same device.  Mpx.vmhba IDS are local and therefore supposed to be unique for each host.

As far as I know that the runtime name represents the name of the first path to a device, could be useful to check your paths to your devices.  What commands PowerCLI do you use?  Might help understand why you see null values.

Hope that helps

    Our web customer support is for vSphere 5.5 only. Please make sure it's the version of vCenter that you run.

    "If you are on 5.5 check if there are two plugin files in C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity /" If there is, we have seen that removing the oldest file and restarting the blank Server fixed this issue.

  • VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

    VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

    I am using vCenter Server 5.0

    Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

    Please any help!

    Thanks in advance

    It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

    Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

    Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

  • UCSM / VMware vCenter Server dependencies for vDS

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the differences between the vDS created via UCSM / VMware vCenter integration and the traditional N1K.

    If correctly, the vDS UCSM (1.4) does not require the VSM device which is necessary with the N1K.  And if that is correct, is there any dependency on vCenter?  If vCenter falls down the vDS will continue to operate normally as made them act as the VSM?

    Pete,

    There is a dependency on vCenter, similar to N1kv (software) and UCSM vDS (hardware), applies to both methods of implementation. However, if vCenter goes down the current state of the operation continues. When a change occurs on the virtual machine, that is where should be upward a vCenter race.

    Concerning best practices, I was that it is better to have everything on the vDS for operational reasons. You can then apply and manage the kernal ports in the same case that VM vNIC. QoS, etc... There is a nice documentation on www.cisco.com/go/designzone data Center on this topic.

  • Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

    Do need me a separate license for VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat for a remote SQL Server database?

    Only a single vCenter Server Heartbeat license is necessary to protect the components of the vCenter Server installed remotely, including SQL Server. A single license is also used for several UNIQUE for vCenter Server services protected authentication servers. A license is required per instance of vCenter Server.

  • How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

    How does VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat communicate?

    VMware vCenter Server Heartbeat supports configurations of single NIC or multi.

    Public IP address: this IP address is used by a client to connect to an Active Server, and move between the secondary and primary servers in the case of a failover or a passage.

    IP address of the channel: this is for communication between active and passive servers. This is used for the transfer of control and an asset to the passive server data and monitoring the State of an Active Server.

    In a LARGE network, static routes are used on switches to maintain ongoing communication.

    Management IP address: this address is used to access servers in a passive role. In a multi NETWORK card configuration, a NIC will have IP addresses public and management, and an another aura NIC IP address of channel. In a single NETWORK adapter configuration, all IP addresses are on the same network adapter.

  • VMware vCenter living is no longer working with Acronis Backup Advanced, Help!

    Hello everyone, I hope this ad in the right area of im, I'm looking for some advice on what could be causing my question about integration using the byproducts, I am struggling to find something on the net that relates exactly to my problem so have resorted to forums to see if anyone has tips or ideas , like im fresh out of them now!

    • VMware Client & Server Version 5.5.0 - (VMware vCentre Server Build 1476327)
    • Acronis advanced backup (Version 11.5 - update 5)

    Since November the synchronization / VMware vCenter integration between the 2 products above seems to have stopped working correctly, which means that any change in the location of the VM machines in the VMware customer environment is not reflected in Acronis more.

    For example, when you move a virtual machine to a folder on a particular data center to another folder in the same Datacenter, this change should be so reflected in the Acronis, what is happening is no longer.

    In addition, when a virtual machine brand new is created in vSphere and is placed in the appropriate Center of data/file structure, this should (and working correctly until November) fill with Acronis 'vcentre' host Group that has the folder structure equivalent to pick up the plans for appropriate backup etc, but this happens is no longer, instead , the only way that you can see the new VM is under "all Virtual Machines.

    In addition, when removal of vSphere VM, also not being properly reflects Acronis more, when go in "All Virtual machines" these deleted machines are still show while intoxicated. But these machines no longer exist in vSphere, this shouldn't show Acronis more. Without doubt, this is connected to vCenter integration issues.

    Here are the steps I took to try to solve this problem

    • Disable/re-enabling integration with the server vCentre.
    • Restarting the Server Service on the management of Acronis Acronis license server
    • Reset all motors of unloading and the virtual machine.
    • Acronis and vCentre servers restarting.
    • A reconstruction complete the Acronis server and all subsequent config, etc. backup plans.

    After the last point (reconstruction of Acronis) integration has worked for a few days, then it stopped working again!

    If anyone has any ideas or possible causes, could you please let me know.

    Here are a few details of what was the root cause of the problem:

    Each VM in vSphere contains a list of parameters such as:

    InstanceUUID

    locationID

    guestFullName

    The problem arises because some of the virtual computers contains a copy of the values of these parameters (name, value). Thus, in order to update the database of AMS, we execute the SQL query with these settings, but when 2 or more of the virtual computers contains the same parameters, the SQL query fails > This is why the changes were not reflected and it was not possible to update the vCenter folder structure.

    The developer removed then duplicate values enable and disable the vCenter integration, by doing this it was able to resolve the problem.

  • What is the use of Vmware vcenter device? and when it can be used? is it free?

    Hi guys - when can we see VMware vcenter device an option? Is it free?

    Is that it is contemporary with the linux version of VMware vcenter windows version with Sql express?

    When we use this? Why not to choose windows VMware Vcenter license version if it is available for free? (up to max. 5 hosts and VM 50 s for how long we can use this in our environment)

    Kind regards

    Abhishek Singh

    According to me, there's no difference between vCenter through windows & device licenses.

    You will get vCenter license (as a whole) and now its your choice to deploy vCenter either on windows or deploy the same form of appliance. Once deployed, you must apply the license.

    If you opt for the vCenter Foundation, you will get the same set of features you deploy the VC under windows or as an appliance. It is the same for the standard vCenter license. If you deploy on windows, you need windows license as well.

  • Updated VMware vCenter Operations Manager tools

    Hello everyone, I just use Citrix Xenserver to VMware vCenter with Operations Manager 5.8.4.  I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this.  Is it possible to update VMware tools in the vCOPS TIME?  I just started my new environment with v8 of Veeam backup and he lets know me that VMware tools are outdated.  The only reason why I ask because, coming from Citrix Xenserver v6.2, whenever a device from the virtual computer is provided by Citrix, you're stuck with the tools provided in this unit until they update the device.

    If it's good to update the VMware tools, it's as simple as opening the console to each virtual machine in the vApp and he tell the ' Install/Upgrade Vmware Tools?  Or is there a more complicated step?

    Thank you

    Brett

    As far as I KNOW, the VMware tools upgrade is not recommended on vCops.

    This breaks the device and you can ignore the message of the VMware tools obsolete.
