  Dear all,

  Finally, I found the solution.

  I had stop the virtual machine, replaced by location always store with the virtual machine swap file and restarted the VM.

• How to migrate to VMDK all store data in another data store

  How would be migration of VMDK script all store data in another data store.

  No, then you must use the Move-VM cmdlet. But this cmdlet moves all files to the destination data store.

  The alternative is to use the method RelocateVM_Task , which allows more flexibility to define what that goes where.

  It is a good example of your thread has called using several data stores, can not migrate the vmx in a data store file

• How to change the vmdk in another data store

  for my vm four disks are there I want to increase disk capacity but there is no space on the data store

  Hello

  Solution is that you must change the drive to another data store and increase space.

  First findout in spatial data store is avaialble.

  Select the virtual machine and migration - migration datastore - Advanced - click the drive on which you want to increase space - browse - choose data store where space is available - finishing

  After migration - more space.

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  You will need to use the API method, see for example Re: using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store

• Move drive VM to a to another data store

  Hi guys,.

  In my environment, we divided the data banks on two virtual machines. I'm migrating all the drives in a data store to another by using the following code.

  $HD = get-hard drive - data store "f2as01_nfs_hoss01".

  {foreach ($i in $HD)

  Moving-hard drive - disk hard $i Datastore-"f1aa01_nfs_hoss01" - confirm: $false

  }

  However, I get the following error:

  Moving-hard drive: 26/03/2014 12:53:40 hard drive Move the specified parameter "Datastore" expects a single value, but your criteria of name "f1aa01_nfs_hoss01" corresponds to multiple values.

  I know PS don't like spaces, but could there be a problem with underscores too?

  Concerning

  Mr G

  Hello

  as commented, there maybe more than 2 with the name "f1aa01_nfs_hoss01" data warehouses (in different hosts).

  When using powercli, that's not a good practice to have more than one data store with the same name.

  You must change the name of the data store (s), in order to have a single data store with the same name.

  Until you do this, the powercli script will fail!

• Migration of VM to a different data store

  Hello

  All our Virtual Machines reside on a SAN Fibre network attached. I want to move the virtual machine to its current data store in another data store.  Last night, I decided to travel in the data store and I did a ' copy - paste ', almost 12 hours later he was still trying to copy!

  I then did a right click "Migrate" on the Virtual Machine, but get the following error:

  -vmdk is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store

  -Lack of disk space on the data store

  Then, I changed the block size to the data store but got the same error.  I walked to the store database and noticed that I have some vmdk virtual disk files that are more than 2 TB each!  Is there a way just to migrate the virtual machine and its vmdk 20 GB HARD drive on a data store different Partition?  I'm guessing that the reason why these 2 TB drives make their appearance is because they are the virtual hard drives that I added in (even if they are stored on the San)?

  I hope that makes sense!

  Thank you

  When you are migrating and choose the data store you want to migrate virtual computer worms, you can choose the extended view. Here you can choose a separate target for each vDisk. Simply choose a target for your system vdisk and leave the other disks where they are.

• Move a virtual machine in another data store

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• 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:

• Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

  Hi all

  Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

  Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

  Require some VM downtime?

  Thanks in advance a ton.

  Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

  1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

  2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

  3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

  When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

• displacement of the VM in another data store

  Hello

  We organize 2 5.5 vSphere hosts (VMware vSphere Essentials 5 Licensed for 2 processors (unlimited cores per processor) physical.)

  One of our data warehouses has insufficient free space on the disk.

  I'd be happy if someone could give me a little advice what is the best way to move or copy a virtual machine in another data store.

  Already, I read after KB, but he has not understood completely.

  VMware KB: Move or copy a virtual machine in a VMware environment

  Kind regards

  Your screenshot shows that you are on the right track.

  As soon as you have turned off the virtual computer the

  dimmed options get turned on even on the essential.

  See you soon.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• 'copy' in another data store using vSphere client

  do not use vCenter in this case, just gross ESX with the vSphere client.

  in the browser data store, we can transfer files, download files, move files, and delete files.

  is there a way to copy files from one to another data store in the vSphere client?

  

  Try right click and copy

• . VMDK copy in another data store

  Hi people,

  I currently have a virtual machine that is sitting in my main drive in an ESX host. My goal is to copy (and not move) this virtual machine to another data store. I heard that there is a copy command to achieve this. If someone can explain? Also can be done while VM is turned on?

  Thank you!

• Create the snapshot in another data store

  Hi all

  On ESXi 4, is it possible to create snapshot in another data store? The reason is that the current data store is almost full. Thank you.

  Hello

  As far as I know, the snapshots are always in the same place as the files of the virtual machine. Then, it is not possible to snapshots in the other data that the VM store.

  Best wishes / Saludos.
