• Move virtual machines from a to another data store

  Is there a recommended (or integrated) way to move propelled out of virtual machines from a data store? Or is it a cut simple and working of dough which can be done from any client PC connected to the underlying storage providers?

  If both, store data Source and Destination are connected to the same server vCenter, do Storage vMotion. Make a right-click VM--> migrate--> change of data store and select the Destination data store.

  Hello

  first move this virtual machine to another host and try to migration of storage. still, the problem you then close restarts the virtual machine host and try storage vmotion.

  It should work. If the problem continues after the error log.

• Move a virtual machine from a to another data store

  I ve just added a hard drive on my ESXi server and created a new data store.

  I need to free up space on the original data store, what would be the procedure to move virtual machines within the old data store to the new? (and keep them whitout work break)

  Thanks in advance.

  Facundo.

  to register for a guest, do a right-click on the .vmx file in the data store window and choose 'Add to inventory', follow the instructions

• Could not start the new virtual machine or VM remove a data store

  Hi guys,.

  I'm not new with ESXi, but my knowledge with vCenter and Clustering must be improved, so here's my problem.

  We have a Cluster of 2 ESXi 4.1 hosts on a San with 2 VMFS.

  My first problem is when I created a new virtual machine and try to start it, I got an error message similar to the one included with this post.

  My Second problem is more picky. Since I am unable to start my new virtual machine, I had removed from drive and I had created a new. But when I took a peek in the data store where was deleted VM, the directory with all the files are still there. When I try to delete it, I got an error message telling me that it is impossible to proceed.

  Q please?

  Best regards

  Stéphane

  82% of failure can be other issues.  The article below

  Also, I saw, where bad records DB for your ESXi hosts can cause weird problems as well.  The host with the problematic guest, can you do a right click on it and "disconnect"?  Try to get out of the bunch at the data center level.  If you get an error vCenter, that means return folder DB.  From there, while the host is in a disconnected state, remove the host to vCenter, then "add host". This will update the DB record.  Maybe worth it?

• Column appear in the Oracle data store

  Hi guys,.
  
  My source and target are Oracle.
  
  For the source, we have created the synonym of table views. Target is Oracle table. While I m try to overthrow the synonmys by selecting the synonmy option in the opposite selective tab of the model. The synonmys are getting reversed, but there is no column to view inside the data store.
  
  Can someone help, how to reverse the synonmys Oracle in ODI which will serve as my source.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  There is a tab named 'Properties', it's just after the JDBC tab

• Download of virtual machine using extremely slow browser data store

  Hello

  Why download VM files totalling nearly only 8 GB in vSphere Client v4.1.0 (from 4.1.0 ESXi) via a Gigabit LAN would take more than 1800 minutes (30 hours)? Well now after about 5-10 minutes to download, it is said 1560 minutes but still, why is it so slow? I thought that perhaps is that the estimated time remaining is miscalculated, but this isn't the case. The download is just extremely slow.

  Not only that but vSphere Client (VpxClient.exe) constantly uses 25-45% of my cycles while all CPU's do the downloading of files. This slows down the PC I am running vSphere Client. The local network on the server and the client connections are Gigabit too.

  UPDATE: download time now has increased up to 1924 minutes back and it becomes difficult to use my PC for e-mail in Outlook, etc. because vSphere Client seems to use as many cycles CPU.

  UPDATE 2: 2 hours for download via vSphere Client and remaining time jumped up to 2287 minutes. I'm going to cancel and try to download via the web browser interface.

  See the attached screenshots.

  Thank you

• Display of the VM in the incorrect data store

  Hello

  I have 4 data warehouses and I've migrated a few VM data (DS) to another store, but when I discovered the 'data warehouses' in client VI still the virtual machine appears in the list on the old data store.

  I have traveled the old DS and I can confirm no there are the virtual machine and the .vmx file points to the new location in the settings of the virtual machine, so why the virtual machine appears in the list of the old (source) DS?

  Do you have something (for example ISO) attached to the virtual machine that may still reside on the old data store?

  Review the vmx file (downloadable from the browser data store) and check that there is no reference to the old data store.

• VM to the another data store

  Can someone tell me how I can move a virtual machine from a to another data store?  I get cold?  Or can it be done live?  I have esxi embedded and a san, equallogic for my configuration of vmware (with VMware infrastructure).

  SVMotion is the best way, it's a live migration.  You can do this through the RCLI or GUI.  For me, the graphical interface is better.

  Here's a good way for:

• VM with disks of different data warehouses. Snapshots on the same data store?

  Hello

  We have several virtual machines with disks on different data stores for reasons RAID.

  Last night, we found that the snapshots of all disks are left on the data store main vmx and not on each datastore disk.

  How will we change this as our OS data warehouses are small and run out of space when running shadow copies?

  Thank you

  Frogbeef

  You can change the location of snapshots, but they will all go to this place - as far as I know, you cannot change the location of each disk.

  The KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002929 explains how to do this.

• Unable to browse the server data store

  Hello

  I lost the files in my data store. I have two data warehouses and two of them had vm folders in there but tonight my vms unresponsive and when I try to restart they throw an error that a file is not present. When I tried to browse the data store, the two data stores back empty.

  Thank you

  Hey m,

  can you go on the albums esx server into your virtualcenter

  Try remapping to one of the existing NFS shares. You should get a message that the share already exists, but when you return to the summary page, you should be able to doubleclick on the NFS share and view folders (it's like trying to connect is enough to restore the existing connection)

  Let me know how you go

• How do divide you a virtual machine between two data stores?

  We just installed a new SAN ICSI and created an ISCSI target on it. We have created a new data store on our server ESXi 4.0 and reminded our Iscsi target. Our virtual machines have two logical drives, for the system partition C: and E: for data. At present, all virtual machines are residing on the 1 data store, which is located on the local hard drives of the esxi server. How pass readers E: of the virtual machine to the SAN and let C: readers where they are?

  Hello

  Or if you don't have a Vmotion, you can use stand-alone Vcenter converter to migrate your VM on the same ESXi host. and during this process on the Advanced tab, you can divide your virtual disks in the desired data store. You can keep the C: drive as it is on the same data store and add new vmdk and select its data store that you want, and then can move E: or D: drive until the new vmdk.

  In this way, you can split your C: and other disks on different vmware disks on different data warehouses.

  Let me know if it helps.

  Kind regards

• Connect physical hard disks to the virtual machine (and leave the data intact)

  Hello

  I'm looking to virtualize a SOHO headless server, that I use mainly for secure file storage.

  Currently, the system runs Linux installed on a small disc and has two drives 1.5 TB, used exclusively for data, in a cluster of ZFS mirroring. (I use the ZFS-fuse Linux-based application).

  I want virtualization for two reasons. One is to make administration easier and safer - avoid having to connect a keyboard and the physical monitor to the box from time to time. The other is that the machine is a bit more powerful to handle the load, and I'm hoping to make it work on other, more challenging tasks.

  Now, there is a catch. These discs are as highly important. I mean the data on them. What I need is to convert the current Linux system to a virtual machine, or re - install Linux on a virtual machine (don't like that), then connect the physical disks to the virtual machine as if they were actually connected.

  I certainly don't want to vmware touches those disks somehow.

  I've read the documentation, but I'm a noob when it comes to server virtualization and system engineering and don't quite understand if this is possible or not. These discs are not a SAN, they are physically connected to the server, I want to install vSphere on. (Of course, I'll log out when I run the setup of vSphere. But I need plug them again later, and they need to be sure that vmware will leave them alone and pass them to the virtual machine transparent.)

  Sigmoid wrote:

  Oh yes, the cluster mirrored ZFS. It is essentially a software RAID type thingie.

  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS

  A material, or the point of view of virtualization, it appears two hard drives with a single huge partition on each that is not transparent to anyone, except the implementation of ZFS.

  OK, means that you can break the RAID, connect the drives to different host and configure RAID once again, right?

  Let's do it this way

  1. We will need a disc player more for VM, cause on flash, we install ESXi
  2. I will share ZFS :-), all you need to do with that before you install ESXi
  3. make the BACKUP!
  4. Disconnect the data host drives
  5. install ESXi 4.1 U1 free version on flash
  6. Download the site VMware vSphere client
  7. Connect the VM disk to ESXi
  8. customer help create the virtual machine and install the OS on it
  9. stop the virtual machine and esxi
  10. connect DATA drives to the ESXi host
  11. begin to ESXi
  12. See how to add RDM on youtube, after client use, change first hardware VM--> add a new hard disk--> choose Raw Device Mapping--> (physical or virtual) mode--> store it with folder VM - FACT
  13. Start the virtual machine, now your VM should see both drives, with good data course :-)

  I have just made this procedure (add ROW with data in Linux VM) on ubuntu VM, works well

  See you soon

• Rename all the virtual machine files in the data store

  Hello

  We have renamed one of the name of the server of our virtual machine running on esx3.5. In addition, we have renamed this server in VC to reflect the new name of the server. Please tell us how we can rename all files in this virtual machine residing in the data store to reflect the new name of the server.

  Appreciate your quick response.

  Thanks in advance...

  You can use sVMotion and move it to another data store or migrate from cold.  Two tasks will rename the underlying set of files.
