Mounting CIFS cannot share in ESX 4
Hello
Does anyone else have this problem?
I was able to mount CIFS shares just find on ESX 3.x, but with vSphere 4.0, I get the following error message when you try to mount:
Mount: wrong type of fs, the bad option, bad superblock on / / 192.168.100.20/Images.
missing code page or other error
In some cases the useful information is in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or
When I look at dmesg, I see this:
smbfs: mount_data version 1919251317 is not supported *.
Someone at - it a little chance of mounting the new CIFS service console? I'm trying to see if I can get Visbu 1.0.1 working on this new version.
Thanks for your help!

VMware knowledge base is a great place to search for this type of answers
As mentioned, your type must be cifs and not smbfs

cannot share files from my Vista computer
I have a home network with 4 PC on it. My main PC is a Vista desktop computer, it is connected to my router. The other PC is connected wirelessly. I have a laptop with windows 7. and 2 other desktops with xp installed. My problem is the following... I have no problem to share files and folders off my public folder on my Vista machine with the rest of the network, but for some reason, I can't share files or folders on my home network on any other place on the Vista PC. I have an extra hard drive 500 gig installed on my Vista PC I want to use it as a central backup for all of my network drive... but for some reason that I cannot share any files or folders on this drive. I have no problem sharing the drive with other users on this pc... but I can't do it shared on the network. I tried all the conventional techniques of sharing, but no luck. I just get a message that the network resource is not available. It appears on my network under the PC, but it is not accessible. Initially, I wanted to share the entire disc... but advised him to be just a folder in the drive to share rather than trying to share the root of the drive... but still no luck. What Miss me?
Note: this is a problem with all of my machines in network... not a single one of them can access this drive.
Hi EJLOTT,
First of all, I would say that you talk below link and make sure all the necessary settings on the network for all the computer are set correctly.

Hi PhilMartineau,
1. you receive an error message/code?
2. are you on a domain computer/House Group?
Printers that are directly connected to a network and not connected to a computer are available to anyone on the same network. These printers must have a network port or wireless connection that allows them to connect directly to the network.
I suggest you to refer to the help article and check if it helps.

mount the partition root to esx 4.1 in rescue livecd mode
Hi guys! I have problem with recovery of esx 4.1 upd 3 Server. To my shame, I deleted /lib64/libc-2.5.so--> link lib64/libc.so.6, then restarted a server. So now, esx makes a core dump and does not start (Kernel panic not syncing kill init). I thought it was a piece of cake to boot from livecd linux, mount the partition root of esx and recreate the link but it was not as simple as that. In rescue of the livecd mode (redhat 5), I can only mount/boot partition for esx. Command fdisk-l shows a single device (/ dev/sda1) with linux fs and other devices sdaX with extended and uknown fs types and mount error on these devices. Mount/dev/sda1 gives me a partition/boot of esx. On another host esx 4.1 with a similar configuration command df shows partition/Boot resides on the device/dev/sdd1 while other partitions as root/var/log are located on/dev/sdeX devices. After having investigated further, I found that/dev/sdd is a local protected by car while/dev/sde does not match any network SAN or raid connected locally to the readers. Tomorrow I will try to boot from the esx installation media and see if there is something simillar to rescue mode and try and do something here. I have no idea what to do if it won't help. In the hope to hear a good advise to you guys!
Do a new installation on a disk SAN and after booting from it, I was able to solve the problem with the link. Old server is running. But after all I agree with you markdjones82 - it would be faster and easier to reinstall from scratch.

ESX 4 - mounting CIFS, not appearing is not under storage
Hello, I try to mount a CIFS share on an ESX 4.0 host. The CIFS share is on a San, which is not certified for NFS. I want to store vmdk on the SAN files. The SAN will be mirrored off site soon, so my virtual machines are stored.
Basically I see not the CIFS share under storage VMWare vSphere Client.
I ran the following command.
mkdir/mnt/cifs
Mount - t cifs //SANName/Sharename/mnt/ASR o username = SANUSER, domain = ABC
He asked for a password.
When I type mount I see that it is properly mounted.
According to me, Miss me a step.
CIFS is not taken in charge of Protocol for the Assembly of your storage space to run virtual machines, you can ride as you noted with the Service Console, but it must be used to store virtual machines and so it is not visible by the host ESX, only NFS, FC/iSCSI is supported.

I can't take it apart a share NFS ESX 4.0
I'm trying to disassemble an NFS share. When I try in vsphere I get a message: error during the configuration of the host: NFS Nun: unable to unmount filesystem: busy.
When I try in esx:
esxcfg-nas - d "share name".
Error running operation: NFS error: unable to unmount filesystem: busy
It is what is in/var/log/vmkernel:
WARNING: NFS: 1668: the share name has open files, could not be unmounted
I checked there are virtual machines with files on this share, no ISOs mounted on virtual machines. There is no VMs showing tab of the VM in the data store in vpshere. The map on this host indicates that the host is connected to the share.
Unfortunately, esx does not tools like fuser or lsof unit or a simple tool to find what is now the system of open files and the server is an antique with not very many diagnoses, I can understand.
How can I (of) this share?
We had to take down all virtual machines and reboot, that fixed it. Maybe there was a better way.

Cannot remove Datastore ESX 3.5
Hi ESX veterans.
I am a novice using ESX, and lately I just install ESX on a new Dell server, with 6 x 450 GB configured in a Raid 5 environment. I realized that once the ESX is complete, and VI client infrastructure is installed, there will be a default data store created using all available space with a block size of 1 MB. In the latest installation of couple on older servers (which worked well), I simply remove the data store and to recreate another large block data store, so I can do a greater volume to install my OS. But this time, I get this error:
Configuring the host error: DestroyVmfsDatastore: cannot remove partition 2 on lun vmhba1:0:0
I tried looked up the forums, but none seemed suggestion a resolution in my case. (perhaps of persons using a SAN... etc, but the mine are internal HD from the server). Some said that to do a re-scan, some have said go to maintenance mode, some said re - install all the ESX Server, which I've tried all. But just can not remove this data store. Acutally, I have not "mind leaving this one data store, as long as I can create a volume larger than 256 GB it contains. Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thank you.
WingKChan
Hello Wingchan,
I don't think so that you can delete the partition your ESX Server, which is the more necessary to partition VMFS. You can delete when you have several stored VMFS mounted on your ESX. I'm assuming that the... but not sure.
However, since you have to change the size of the block. You can try the VMFSKTOOLS command to change the size of the block. Remember that you will lose all the systems of comments that uses this data store. Please move them to the secure location if necessary.
I put a link here to how to change the size of the block. (not my blog, obtained through Google)
http://techblog357.blogspot.com/2008/01/ESX-Server-35-general-system-error.html
To run this command, you must take the ESX Server console.
Thank you

mount the NTFS partition via ESX 3.5
Well, it seems none of the simple "out-of-the-box" questions will never come from my keyboard to this topic
I have a SATA drive, everything works fine but I have a NTFS Partition on the same drive - Let's say sda1.
ESX 3.5 seems stripped mounting ntfs file system - really not supported by the kernel, it is said.
I read somewhere that this NTFS CAN mounted as ro (and I find it acceptable) fs, but I can't find any detailed instructions on how to perform this action.
Is there some package rpm / which can be used for this or should I install some third-party software (link/name appritiated)?
Once it is mapped, I would like to publish via samba to the network. Y at - it a samba server (I have already launched the client and mapped NTFS FOR Esx via fstab).
Thanks for the replies!
Hello
You cannot use a ROW but a CRUDE disk will work. So you must first create a Raw Disk Metafile for that to work, or you can use the method described in http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/vmware-esx-storage-how-to-get-local-storage-to-act-as-a-raw-disk-for-vms/ to acquire these metadata files. Remember NOT to do this the target LUN/Partition that contains your NTFS.
The Linux 2.4 kernel can only mount a NTFS in read-only mode if the driver exists. You can easily get this driver for your service console. It is not required for the vmkernel actually, just the service console. If you could get on the service console, but then what would you do with it?
It is best to make a complete virtual machine blown by making CRUDE disk in a virtual machine. Then you can start simply and directly access the NTFS normal methods to which you are accustomed.

Hi gpp123,
I understand that you are not able to select the 'Message' option after choosing the option of 'Sharing of Contact' in the Contacts application. I'm more than happy to help.
If you haven't done so already, please restart your iPhone and this new test to see if you are still unable to choose the option of sharing via a message. You can find more information on it here:
Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
Once you have finished, try to test with other contacts to see if you can reproduce the problem. It can also help to try to create a new contact to test with. Once you're done, let us know the outcome of the tests.
See you soon!

Mac OS El Capitan cannot share a VPN connection that is type of IKEv2
I have a few VPN connections, I share via Wi - Fi on my mobile device. Here's what I do:
I have a Macbook Pro with Ethernet port, I have some work VPN connections (some type of IPSec, some IKEv2). First I plug the cable to the Ethernet port, then I start a VPN (settings-> network-> Connect) connection, finally, I share the VPN (settings-> sharing-> Internet sharing) via Wi - Fi connection so that my mobile device can connect and use the VPN connection.
This work really well for me with IPSec VPN connections. But today, I tried to switch to an IKEv2 VPN connection, the VPN works well, but I can't share it on a mobile device via Wi - Fi, because I couldn't see the connection in the list "share your connection from" (Preferences-> sharing-> Internet sharing system)
Are there any technical problem that IKEv2 cannot be shared? Or is there that all parameters must be made so that all VPN connections must appear in the list to share?

How to mount the afp share with two different users
I use Terminal to mount three actions of my SIN. I want to mount a mount point in my user folder. One of the actions has a user name and password, so that the other two mount as a guest. I can ride through Finder > to connect to the server without any problem, but this goes to /Volumes and not in my user folder and also indicates the actions on my desk. I use to get the following:
mount_afp o nobrowse 'afp://username:password@Servername/Share1' ~/Mount point/folder 1 /.
This example goes up the part properly, but when I run the following command:
mount_afp o nobrowse 'afp://Servername/Share2/' ~/Mount point/folder 2 /.
I have the following error:
mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error-5023, errno is-5023
This happens if I invert the controls as well, for example to get the comments share first, then the part of the user.
Am I missing something? I can't get different actions for different credentials?
OS X has no Linux - bind option that allows multiple points of Assembly of nickname for the same file system.
OS X allows a file system mounted only once.
I suggest you get the file normally, system create an OS X Alias, can put copies of this Alias in the account of each use.
And/or create symbolic links that point to the real mount point.
