Migration of data to assist based SAN store

Hey guys,.

We have two esx servers. ESX1 and ESX2.

ESX1 is autonomous, while ESX2 is with a SAN (connected to the HBA fibre channel)

I am now loading on ESX1 vcenter, once this is done, I want to move the VM ESX1 the ESX2 server machine, BUT this time it should reside in the SAN logical unit number.

I know that I can't move without interruption because they have not San already, so I'll have to cold migrate virtual machine to esx2 esx1 but is it the same as usage of vconverter? Also if I migrate can I ask vcenter to load the machine in the logical unit number of the san and not on the esx2 data store?

Please help, I really need to get the VMs on the San and not having to build them from scratch once again.

Thank you

RJ

We will all live a virtual life...

OK

The fact that you are directly connected to the San, and you can see the LUN in the section maps storage equates not once he is able to do something with this LUN.

You must go to the STORAGE (should not be confused with storage adapters) and add it to your server AGAIN.

When asked if the physical storage disk/LUN or connected to the network, you select disk physics/LUN. You will be presented a list of LUN storage adapters can see (including this LUN you're talking 200 GB)... Select it by clicking on it. Then, you will be asked to select the size of the block... I would recommend selecting 1 Mb. Then, you will be asked to give it a name (something like Datastore1_From_SAN works well) and then the server create a VMFS partition on it. Virtual machines LIVE in a VMFS partition - without one on this SAN LUNS, you will not be able to migrate your VM to it

It will then appear in the tab for data warehouses (according to my pic) on the summary page of your server and appears in the page of DATA storages as well

Hope this helps

  • Migration of data from records on Win2K8 cluster to a new SAN SAN

    I hope that someone here might have a clear answer to my question. We are currently working on a project to migrate all the data of a former SAN that stores our info Win2K8 Cluster (Quorum, MSDTC and SQL DBs) to a new SAN. I know that databases SQL, the plan is to simply detach the DBs with in SQL, stop SQL services, move the DBs from the old drive to the new location and then reconnect, we intend to reuse the drive letter, so that there will be real problems.

    What I'm having a hard time trying to figure out, is how to move successfully the readers of the page Web MSDTC and Quorum, would I simply create a new set and removing the current Quorum and MSDTC leads or is there a way to move the data on the page Web MSDTC and the Quorum of the current location reuse the old drive letters and stored it on the new San without having to change any configuration or break the cluster.

    All clearification would be much help.

  • Migration of data without interruption VM store

    Hi all

    I have a vCenter with several hundred VM. They are stored in 4 different NFS data warehouses. Is it possible to pass without interruption (1 after another, and 1 at a time) of their current data store to the newly created by command line?

    Thank you.

    Hi mofr,.

    Thanks to your tip, I did some additional research and found the solution to my problem. In order to limit the vCenter to do one (and only one) live migration of data store at a time, you should configure vpxd.cfg in your vCenter machine and add the following under :

  • Migration of data-help

    Hello
    I'm trying to migrate my data from the old system to Oracle CC & B 2.3.1.
    Records are not picked during the treatment by lots of validation because my data key columns contain values digital alpha.
    Someone has encountered this situation earlier? I'm not using any conversion tool.
    Suggestions for help in this matter will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Ravi.

    Recommend that you start using the Conversion Mapper tool. This tool is designed for migrating existing data. If you intend to maintain the digital alpha as a KEY keys in your new installation of CCB, you will face a problem. Given that the BCC has a built-in algorithm to generate random digital keys based on the existing ones, your alphanumeric must be relegated to the back seat. In other words keep as characteristics and use BCC to generate random keys.

    I presume that you follow recommended Oracle to have a database on stage to validate and clean, before migrating to your current database.

  • File 'mig' data transfer Assistant

    (Working on the Sprint this morning online customer service, but they have quickly exhausted their standard options and do not know how to help me).

    I ran the data transfer Assistant to my pre.  I have Outlook 2007 (the previous one had a Treo 700 p) and I try to transfer

    • 917 contacts
    • calendar items 328
    • 0 tasks (don't no need)
    • 467 notes/memos

    OK, so the fact that the .mig file is gone means the party to the phone to transfer all read in the file. This could be a matter of time. So what happens first of all, it is only your contacts imported and then audited for related contact matches (contacts that have matching data is connected in a single contact). Once done, that everything starts coming into the phone.

    That being said, if you want to start over, I'd be very careful about this. The DTA brings on EVERYTHING, so everything he dropped on your phone already is going to be duplicated. If you really want to do it again, follow these steps:

    Open Backup, tap the button toggle to turn it off, then tap Delete & turn off - it is to make sure that the backup data is not automatically restored and then duplicated when you run the DTA

    Open Device Info, click options to reset, press erase partial - this will delete all of your PIM data from the phone.

    The phone goes back to the top, add your accounts to it, and rerun the DTA. Don't forget, don't do that if you REALLY want to start over. If not, try just to give it some time

  • Data transfer Assistant - doesn't recognize palm desktop

    I have a Palm Tungsten e I installed Palm Desktop v6.2 so I could transfer my data on my new Pre phone.  My Pre phone is plugged into the USB port on my computer and I selected the USB key on the phone. I then started the data transfer Assistant, has chosen to run, chose following the Welcome screen, chose following to the login window since I already have my phone connected pre, says next message window ' although Palm Desktop is installed, there is no data to transfer.

    This is incorrect. my Palm Desktop contains data.  Why the data transfer Assistant say that?  The only option is left.  How do I get past this so I can transfer my data?

    I did setup a Google mail account and put that on my phone but it seems not to matter.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I found the solution to my problem with the DTA does not transfer my data from Palm to my Pre phone.  Here are the steps I took:

    (1) backed up the data of palm on my external hard drive

    (2) uninstalling palm desktop and palm versalmail by using Add/Remove programs

    (3) record deleted program files/palm

    (4) pc reloaded

    (5) installed Palm Desktop V6.2

    (6) synchronize Tungsten E PDA to pc

    (7) made 3 new Palm Desktop: 1 user profiles for the calendar, 1 book, 1 for memos address (got this tip from another validation)

    (8) exported calendar data in the profile calendar, address to the address profile data and data Memo memo profile

    (8) DTA started

    (9) selected a profile suitable to transfer to pre - done 3 times.  Wanted to make sure that each type of data transferred correctly and it also gave me the opportunity to choose where I wanted to save the data

  • Problem of migration of data of characters using a whole export and import

    Hi there;

    I have a database in my local computer that does not support Turkish characters. My NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P1, it should be changed to WE8ISO8859P9, because it supports the full Turkish characters. I would like to migrate character data using a full export and import and my strategy is the following:

    1. create a full export to a network location,

    2 create a new database in the local computer than NLS_CHARACTERSET is WE8ISO8859P9 (I wish NLS_TERRITORY NLS_LANGUAGE change by the way)

    3 and to implement a full import of database created.

    I've implemented the first step, but I could not implement the second step. I created the second step using Toad editor by clicking Create-> new database, but I can't connect to the new database. I need to connect the new database in order to perform the full import. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    :

    First of all, if your applications run on Windows, do not use WE8ISO8859P9. Use TR8MSWIN1254.

    Second, if you create a new database, the database is not necessarily immediately accessible to the outside world. I don't know of a toad, and I have no idea if it performs all necessary steps required for the new base data is visible.  For example, in the toad itself, I guess you need to create a new connection that refers to the new SID of the newly created database and use this new link to connect. However, connections without a connection string using the parameter ORACLE_SID in the registry to indicate applications access which instance (database) to use.  To change the database accessed with a connection string empty, you must modify the registry (unless the toad has an option to do it for you). If you want to connect without changing the registry, you need a connection string. This requires the implementation of Oracle Listener to serve the new database (unless the default configuration is used and the database registers itself with the default listener). You must also edit the tnsnames.ora file to create an alias for the new database. Net or Net Configuration Manager Wizard can help you with this.

    I wonder if the database Configuration Wizard would not be a better tool to create a new Oracle databases.

    Thank you

  • Get the data from a virtual computer store

    I'm looking to get the data from a virtual computer store, but format to be used with vmrun.  My current vmrun statement is:

    The idea is to replace & lt; datastorename & gt; given with the name of the LUN that is running on a virtual machine.  In this case, I'm running my statement vmrun from inside a script PowerCLI.  I can use a variables powerCLI, if the vmrun instruction can take and use all escape sequences are needed to adapt the format vmrun to this argument.

    That is right.

    Hi all

    We're looking for sybase 12 migration to Oracle 11 g. We are not sure on what path to choose for this migration to. THS sybase Database is about 55 GB. Here are a few questions. Please let me know. The downtime on this database cannot be more than 2 days at max.

    1. What is the fastest way and to do this, if there is one?
    2. all the Documentation on the migration steps?
    3. do we have to use any tools 3rd part for this?
    4 can we reach the migration of data with sql loader, if so is it the way suggested to do this, and is there a documentation on that?

    I tried developer sql to do the migration, but it doesn't go well and finally found that is not the way to migrate a database with peoplesoft, here is the link environment to explain more about what I've done with sql developer.

    If there are any other necessary information, link below has almost all of the information.

  • Limited to 2 'task' - Migration of data store

    SAN engineer asked that no more than 2 SVMotions during opening hours.  I have a script to migrate the entire data store, but want to limit 2 SVMotions.

    You can use the parameter - RunAsync and then use the cmdlet Get-task to check how many migrations are "running".

    If less than 2, start a new migration.

    Something along these lines

    $OldDS1 = "OLD_DS01" $NewDS1 = "NEW_DS01" $running = 0
    
     foreach ($OldDS in $OldDS1) {
         $VMs = Get-VM -Datastore $OldDS     foreach ($VM in $VMs)
         {
            $running = Get-Task -Status Running | Measure-Object | select -ExpandProperty Count        while($running -gt 2){
              sleep 5          $running = Get-Task -Status Running | Measure-Object | select -ExpandProperty Count        }
            $VM | Move-VM -Datastore $NewDS1 -DiskStorageFormat Thin     }
    }
    

    If you have other tasks running outside the vMotions in your vCenter, you may need to add a Where clause after the cmdlet Get-task

  • 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

  • migration of data store has failed - now there are two vm - one power off?

    I was migrating a vm fw at different stores of data when a failure has occurred. They may have been cancelled or it may have been the fact that our vcenter server has restarted. I don't know if this would have caused this problem.

    In any case, now, two of the VM series two - power and the other copies are turned off. One that is off is the data store b and the virtual machine is the one data store. The strange thing is, shows of b (power off vm) data store which is where the files are located while the virtual machine is on a. When I browse a datastore I cannot find all files... It just hangs. I googled but am stuck.

    See the screenshots for more details. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: finally to load two data warehouses. They both show identical files: vmdk, vmfx, vmsd etc. for the two virtual machines on two data stores. It's weird!

    Edit 2: or vm, on or off, power to the high/off or migrate or remove from the inventory. Both are 'ping' and one that is good though.

    I figured this out. I have ssh was the host of the virtual machine is on (the two virtual machines were on the same hosts). Down to power, I ran the following command "esxcli vm kill process - type = soft - world id = xxxxx."

    That he got the vm to stop. The virtual machine of the same name already powered off then showed as "orphans". I removed the orphan vm of the inventory, the other vm started automatically acknowledgement of receipt, then I deleted the orphan vm of the 2nd data store.

  • Migration - change data store

    Hello

    I use ESX 4.0.0.50850 and I would like to migrate a virtual machine to a data to another store, but this virtual machine have config files and vmdk on a data store and an another vmdk on another store of data, like this:

    datastore3/my_vm/my_vm.VMDK

    datastore3/my_vm/my_vm_1.VMDK

    The migration function will do this automatically?

    Kind regards

    I have VC and I will stop the virtual machine migration, but I want to be sure that the migration will take all THE vmdk on what data store disreguarding he throws... is this correct?

    Yes its okay... You can use the change of data store option and migrate the VMDK to the new location
