Maintenance DTS mode impossible because "the VM is pinned to a host.

This must be a bug - anyone he met?

I have a storage cluster where I want to empty a LUN. When I choose 'Enter DTS maintenance mode', the wizard is flawed because "the VM is pinned to a host.".

However, it is patently false, all these virtual machines are the full DRS automation level and can migrate freely in the cluster.

Anyone know what it is and how to fix it?

Hi shistad,

I blogged the solution on: http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/05/sdrs-maintenance-mode-impossible-because-the-virtual-machine-is-pinned-to-a-host.html

    Can join a Cluster of storage disk out of Maintenance DTS Mode to set up the profiles for a virtual machine storage policies?...


    IE can you define the rules of affinity DTS depending on how the rules of storage of profiles are configured for a virtual machine?

    In my mind it seems there is disconnect from the DTS and storage profiles.

    Thank you.

    = NOTE =.

    My lab at home, 2 organizes running ESXi 5.0

    Dv01 has

    Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = dv01-BOOT

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    VM02 has

    Of startup vmfs 7200 RPM 160 G = VM02-BOOT

    Vmfs 1 TB 7200 RPM = VM02-VMFS

    Vmfs 5900 RPM 2 TB = VM02-TV01

    I have (3) facility profiles of storage using 'User-defined storage Capablity' as shown below:

    (160 @ 7200 RPM SATA) boot > Boot

    Fast (160 7200 RPM SATA and 1 TB @ 7200 RPM SATA) > fast

    Slow (2 TB @ 5900 RPM SATA) > slow

    Then, I set up a storage Cluster with my local disks on dv01 (only to date)

    LocalVM disc dv01-BOOT and dv01-VMFS disk of the 'cluster of storage.

    I have a computer virtual called DC01 (HardDisk1) want to live on 'Boot' profile storage drive
    His "Non-compliant" poster according to the storage profile, it should run on drive 'boot' on dv01

    To get to this point, I put the StorageCluster in Mode of Maintenace 'DTS' and forced a sVmotion of all virtual machines off dv01-BOOT

    No disks are IO or claim of space.

    But once I take the 'DTS Maintenacne mode' STARTUP dv01 floppy is now get the DTS to return him to satisfy the storage profile (rule) I install... IE do the 'storage profile' VM complient (without doing a few externall API, the PS script or the 3rd party software calls)... ??

    Seems weird it is (or may be) such disconnection of a memory of the profiles and the StorageClusters and the DTS?

    Thank you...

    At this point, I think that storage DRS and storage profiles are two technologies to separate and work independently, but what you suggest is a great idea-

  • Will be the virtual machine starts on another host (during the blackout) if he can't switch to Maintenance Mode?

    Hello

    We use a cluster with 2 5.1 ESXi hosts.  When attempting to place an ESXi host in Maintenance mode, he failed and said "not enough resources to satisfy configured level of failover for HA.

    We would like to know, just in case where one of these ESXi hosts failed, VMs will be start on another ESXi host (at least some) or all of them will be down (i.e. None of them start)?  If no virtual machine will be migrated, we will change our level of failover for HA.

    Thank you

    This occurs when you enable admission control on your HA cluster. When the failure of the host occurs and you have Admission control is enabled, it will let all market on the other host machines because it violates the constraints of availability.

    If you turn this off all VM is switched even if you do not have enough resources to accommodate all the s VM on a single host. On a long term, I would say that you have sufficient resources to allow this to happen. But for now, you can turn it off and try.

    I bought Windows 7 Professional on a new computer, because a program that I use every day may run in XP mode.  Configure XP mode and when it asked for a password that I left it empty and press to enter.  When I try to enter in the file config on XP the message "is client\users\administrator is not accessible." You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

I installed the program from the original disc and it is implemented very well except for the config file.

    Hi Hugh Humphreys,

    Leave the password empty section and see if the XPMUSER can be accessed.

    Method 1: If the problem persists, you can try to access Windows XP Mode with the default account named "Administrator". This account appears when we get into Safe Mode. By default, there is no password for this account, and the password is determined when you set up the Windows XP Mode. We can use this account to reset the password of the other accounts password. To do this, follow these steps:

    (a) Firstly, disable the integration features.

    (b) restart Windows XP Mode. When the Boot Menu appears on startup, press F8. (Continue to press the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu is displayed.)

    (c) on the advanced Windows Menu of Options, select Safe Mode and press ENTER.

    (d) log in Windows by using the administrator account and the password.

    Note: The password is empty by default unless you already set a password.

    (e) after the connection mode safe, click on "Start", go to "run", type "nusrmgr.cpl" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

    (f) choose the user you want to change and click 'reset password'. Set a new password.

    (g) click on "Advanced" tab, click on the button "Advanced".

    (h) click on "users". The choice of the user you want to edit in the right pane. It to the right and click on "Properties".

    (i) check the "password never expires". Click on 'OK'.

    (j) then exit the settings and restart Windows XP Mode to normal mode.

    Method 2: Please try following the steps for the computer to remember the credentials and do not ask the password to open each programs:

    (a) when he asks for a password, click Cancel. Without integration feature, you are allowed to log on with an account that does not have a password.

    (b) set a password for your current user.

    (c) click on tools on Windows Virtual PC, choose enable integration features.

    i. type the password, check the box "Remember my credentials" and click OK to open a session.

    II. after joining the domain, logon in XP mode with the local administrator account.

    May be that the video file format is not compatible with Windows Media Player.

    Options: -.

    1] download and install VLC Player. It's free and supports file formats more than WMP.

    2] download and install the codecs

    Personally, I prefer VLC Player-if you have that then not need to download and install the codec of any third party.

    The problem seems to be that the computer browser service does not start

    It is configured to start automatically.  Regstry settings show that this is supposed to start.  (MaintainServerList Yes)

    Server, Workstation, and RPC can also be programmed to automatically start.  They do not start.

    I would try to start it in safe mode, but the server does not start in safe mode. For the computer browser does not either.

    When I try to start the discovery of the network, I click Yes and it confirms that I am an administrator.  Refreshes the window and he came off.

    The strange thing is that if I look at the map of the network, I can see the Xbox and our laptop.  But in network, it asks me to turn on network discovery and file sharing.

    I tried to start the service with
