Migration to a new SAN with a hard drive to separate LUNs

Hello

Thanks LucD, I now have a CSV containing on the same line

the VM name and each hard disk and its file name. I also have a field for each drive with a place to enter the name of the Destination data for each store.

VM,VM_NewDS,HD1,LUN1,LUN1_NEWDS,HD2,LUN2,LUN2_NEWDS,HD3,LUN3,LUN3_NEWDS,HD4,LUN4,LUN4_NEWDS,HD5,LUN5,LUN5_NEWDS,HD6,LUN6,LUN6_NEWDS,HD7,LUN7,LUN7_NEWDS,HD8,LUN8,LUN8_NEWDS,HD9,LUN9,LUN9_NEWDS,HD10,LUN10,LUN10_NEWDS,HD11,LUN11,LUN11_NEWDS,HD12,LUN12,LUN12_NEWDS,HD13,LUN13,LUN13_NEWDS,HD14,LUN14,LUN14_NEWDS,HD15,LUN15 LUN15_NEWDS, HD16, LUN16, LUN16_NEWDS

I know on the Move-VM command, it will change ALL the VM selected in the specified data store.

What I need is to be able to move the VM files (vmx, nvram, vmxf, etc.) to the VM_NewDS and each hard drive to its LUN * _NEWDS data store.

My LUN is set to be really separate (a Mon, 8 vmdk).

If I use Set-disc hard $HDx - Datastore HDx_NEWDS he won't move the vmx, vmxf, etc...

Do you know a way?

Thank you

There are 2 cmdlets that allow you to move a virtual machine and it's hard, Move-VM and Set - hard drive.

As you have discovered, the cmdlet Set-hard drive does not move the .vmx and another VM of the linked files.

The cmdlet Set-hard drive lets you move a hard disk.

One way to do, is use the Move-VM and then the Set-virtual hard disk for each hard drive.

The downside is that the files on your drive hard twice will be moved and you need storage space enough on the data store the virtual machine specified in the Move-VM cmdlet with guests full.

The other way is to use the RelocateVM_Task method.

It is a good example in the thread Storage VMotion for several data stores .

  • How to install Windows XP without service pack in my new machine with a hard drive sata and sata dvd?

    Installation problem

    Hello

    Not much to go here, but I'll try my best.

    First of all, I hope that your PC has a floppy drive. If it isn't, this isn't the end of the world, but it will make things much more complicated.

    Second, you must make sure that your motherboard BIOS is set according to your desired disk configuration. AHCI or RAID is the best but RAID is only if you want to set up a RAID. If you select IDE maybe you don't need the Setup F6 disk and the driver installation mentioned below.

    You have perhaps been provided with F6 floppy by your motherboard manufacturer but, if not, download the XP driver for your SATA controller from the manufacturer's web site and create your own F6 driver diskette.

    You must start your PC from the windows CD. Very shortly after the installation starting to show prompted to press F6 to another pilot. You have to hit F6 when you see this prompt. A few minutes later you will be asked to insert the Setup disk and identify your SATA controller. You should be able to continue with the installation later.

    It is a simplified version of what needs to be done and only goes up to get the installation to begin.

    If you want more specific help you should repost with exactly what installation problem that you are experiencing.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • Cloning a virtual machine with 2 hard drives!

    Hi all!

    I ran into a very annoying problem. I'm trying to Migrate/convert virtual machines to a host in the CR. Each virtual machine has 2 hard drives which are located on 2 different data stores. When I try to migrate or to clone virtual machines from the host on my Cluster I get an 'error of operation period.

    After scratching my head for a while, I discovered why. The virtual machine have 2 hard drives on 2 different data stores. Both flat.vmdk files are called eponymous because they are on different data warehouses (TTDC001.vmdk). I created a VM test on the cluster with 2 hard drives and flat.vmdk flies are named TTDC001.vmdk and TTDC001_1.vmdk.

    So my conclusion as to why I get "Opération Timeout Error" is that VC trying Migrate/Clone to the virtual machine but is mistake because his attempts to migrate/Clone 2 hard files with the same name!

    Can someone give me some pointers as to how I can get around this? I am currently copy the file hard 2nd to my deskop from the data store and rename it then copy him on the new cluster data store to see if it works as you cannot rename the file hard in the data store. It just seems long way round to migrate virtual machines with 2 hard drives, and I don't even know if it works!

    Please help!  :|

    Andy of the evening,

    I do it well. Thank you for asking.

    So if I'm reading correctly it seems that you are trying to clone a virtual machine from a stand-alone host to a host that is part of a VMware Cluster. When you do this you get a network midway through the copy error. Is this correct?

    Can you confirm how fast is connected to the Service Console between the two servers? For this kind of work I would recommend making them run at 1000/full, assuming you're not already. Could you also post the entire message that you get when the clone fails.

    Kind regards

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  • Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

    My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

    I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

    To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

    If someone put me on how I could fix this?

    -Michael Faklis

    Note of the moderator; email address removed before finding too much spam

    This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

    Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

    The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

    If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

    If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

    If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

    In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

    Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.

  • Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

    Hi all

    I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

    Thank you...

    Dimm21
    Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

    I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

    Thanks for your response

    Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

    The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

    Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

    If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

  • Possible to replace an SSD with a HARD drive?

    I am currently working on HP Mini 1030nr a friend.  It was sold with a 16 GB SSD and now the operating system broke down.  We decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7, however, the SSD is too small.  I'd rather not go and spend $100 and more on an SSD to replace this one.  I'm able to go out with a HARD drive instead?  16 gb is hardly anything.

    Well, after having read little more on it and opening it up, I discovered that although it CAN be exchanged with a HARD disk, it cannot have a 1.8-inch HARD drive.  I have more of a problem to find these tiny hard drives at a reasonable price.  So, Yes, you can use a HARD drive, but it's almost better just pay the bucks for a new SSD to go through the trouble to obtain one of these mini things.

  • A40: problems, I think that with a hard drive

    Hello! Bit of background - had a laptop Toshiba SA40 ISI during a little less of 2 years, and there have been some major problem with it in these last days (until then it had been beautiful and functional with brio).

    He started working yesterday incredibly slowly, took forever to load, kept on crashing etc. After the restart for the 5th time, it would have just send me to the "Windows didn't load correctly screen ' and ask me to select an option, and whatever that I did sent me to the toshiba load screen, Windows does not at all.

    So I had use the product recovery disks and reformat the hard disk. For half a day, the laptop was working once again excellent, no problem. Then this morning, out of nowhere, it completely crashed again. I rebooted, and again the same problems appear. But now I can't used the product to reformat recovery disks. A few times he reformatted then the screen became all black. The error messages became more in worst - now, when I'm trying to recover, comes up with an error message:

    GDISK (e) cannot write to sector 0 of the fixed disk 1 - the IDE controller error

    F0ollowed by a little more information, I have not a chance to note that the screen then recovering flashed, then the screen says:

    !!!!!!!!!! Error!

    Then a screen that says:

    DAY 02/05/06
    Error No.: 11030
    Message: Invalid destination drive

    He has gradually deteriorated. I think there is a problem with the hard drive, the previous messages referred to make it incapable of partition. It is quite anmnoying as it came straight from heaven. Everyone has experienced or heard of something like that? Anyone know what is the problem or what to do? How do you think it will cost you for difficulty? I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, or if this series comes with 2 year warranty.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Russell

    Hello

    If the warranty is valid, then all replacements will be done free of charge. If you are not 100% sure so call the Toshiba service in your country. Please note; If you open the notebook (remove covers) by yourself if you will lose the warranty.

    Hello

    You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

    A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
    are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
    hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

    Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
    If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

    Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
    Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

    Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
    internally, and certainly outside.

    WiKi - hard disk drive
    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

    As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
    with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

    Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
    their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
    systems.
