Mounting external USB HDD to host copy all the s vm to the local data store

I have a scripted ESXi installation that works very well, but once the installation is completed I want to copy all the VM from a disk external DRIVE to store data on the host computer.

There is no attached servers/clients, so it must be done from the host itself.

in thele/var/log/usb.log file on the hard drive is recognized, but how to access and copy all the external HARD disc VM in the data store?

install vmware tools

  • Add the host Cluster in the Cluster data store

    How can I add host/HostCluster in the Cluster data store after the cluster data store is created. I know that we can add at this time, when you create the cluster data store, but how can we add it as soon as it is created?

    I think that as long as the new host has access to all the LUNS that comprise data warehouses in the cluster data store, then no further action is necessary.

    Make sure just that if using CF then zoning is configured correctly and the LUNS are not hidden from the new host.

    Also, make sure you restart the analysis for new data warehouses on your new host so that it can detect data warehouses

  • Problem copying from inside to the external usb HDD, error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect. Help please

    I am trying to copy a file from my hard drive internal sata to USB external hard drive when I get the error code: error 0 x 80070057 the parameter is incorrect.

    Windows 7 Ultimate. SP1, all updates applied until 01/06/2013. It is the first time for many years that I was puzzled. Help

    Hey, thanks for the back. But I found that Windows has nothing to do with the problem. Recently I had upgraded to Acronis 2013 and used it to make several copies of my C drive for a total rebuild.

    I decided to move these files to my drive to free up space on my internal hard drive, external usb drive. That's when the trouble started. The four files, I moved only gave problems.

    Still scratching my head on this subject. Auto car, supposed to Acronis TIH2013 must be at fault. So I uninstalled with REVO Uninstaller ATIH2013, to a maximum depth of scan. Then downloaded and installed a new copy of the ATIH2013, made a new image to replace the one which gave the trouble.

    Problem solved!

    The first download of Acronis must have had a bug in the download, the second seems to be clean and working properly.

    Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll keep it in mind in case I ever encounter this problem again.

  • ESXI 5.1 "the disc is not thin-provisioned" after copying to the new data store vmdk

    I wanted to create an external backup as a 2nd VM ready-to-run on the 2nd data store.

    I've removed all snapshots, stop the machine virtual and exported the OVF file to a computer, adjusted to the size of the original virtual machine starts in Gparted to update the partition and restart. All very well.

    I then tried to deploy the OVF in the data store alternative (235GB slim, thickness according to the deployment of 250 Wizard). I tried both thick and thin but the error message "cannot deploy the OVF. The operation was cancelled by the user.

    I then manually downloaded the VMDK & OVF file to the 2nd data store and tried to inflate but then received the message "a specified parameter was not correct. The disc isn't thin provisioned. ».

    It seems I have dealing with the same thing, as this is the document here (http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/vsphere/55/vsphere-vcenter-server-55u3-release-notes.html).  However, I have no idea what to do now... and I'm worried because it seems that my backup plan may not work if I can't restore an OVF/VMDK from a disk of visas.

    The solution to the first problem here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2172950#2172950 that solved my problem 2nd too.

    1 - Check the SSH configuration on both sides and compare... (/ etc/ssh/sshd_config)

    The remote server will only accept v2 connections and you try to do

    a connection v1. So either enable support of the v1 on the remote side. Or use

    keys v2 and id_rsa/id_dsa.

    2. check the versions ESX & patch level you used on both sides (ESX 3 xx build xxx)

    3 - also, you can check ssh version of protocol running rpm - qa | grep openssh.

    Good luck!

  • External USB HDD PX1269E - 1 50 cannot be recognized on computer

    Hello

    I recently bought an external hard drive, Toshiba 500 GB external USB Hard Drive PX1269E - 1 50 I want to use it on my Pentium 4 3.6 ghz memory 1 GB 400 GB internal hard drive and motherboard ASUS P4P800.
    I installed Windows XP Profesional SP2 on this PC.

    We have 4 pc at home and he answered on any of this.
    The next problem is that after I pluged in the USB 2.0 conector, nothing happens? In the close computer store, I asked the seller to try it on one of their computers and the seller pluged it in one of the laptops and my external hard drive has responded immediately!

    After the test to the computer store, we have purchased a pci usb 2.0 card because we thought it was the problem of usb, but after installation of the usb hard drive adapter has failed, either.

    What could be the problem?

    Hello

    The dealer has tested the HARD drive and it worked.
    It seems the exterior works of HARD drive and can be recognized on the computer.

    In my opinion it s is not a HARD drive problem. For the most part this external HARD drive needs more power that can provide a USB port. My brother uses external USB HDD and it was delivered with a cable from USB 2. His HARD drive must be connected to the 2 USB ports on the laptop.

    I think that if you have a single USB plug cable, so you should use an external power supply for the HARD drive or try to connect it to the USB hub with external power supply.

    Maybe it will work

    If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

    1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

    2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

    3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

    4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

    5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

    To remove protect him writing on a kingston Micro SD cards, locate a switch or button on the side of the micro SD adapter card. It will normally be a symbol of locking/unlocking on it. Put it to the unlocked position.

  • How can I copy all the content from my old hard drive on my hard drive again?

    My old PC is on its last breath and I decided to replace it. I bought a new more powerful PC and thought that by installing my old hard drive (Windows 7 on a Sata Drive) be simple and give me all my current programs without the need to install again. Unfortunately, my new PC refuses to recognize the old drive and I need these programs. How to copy all the contents of a new (bigger hard disk) without loss of functionality.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Original title: old to new hard drive

    Remove the old drive, (just unplug its cables) reboot the PC, it does not start?

    If the method of connection of the old drive was at fault

    (Or bother readers origonal connections when you installed the old disk)

    BTW, you can not use the old drive as primary boot on your new PC drive, or you can access all the programs that have been installed on this subject.

  • Photoshop script to copy all the layers of close PSD to open the current document

    Hi, I have very limited capacity script so this task is above my pay grade

    I'm looking for a script to read and copy all the layers in a PSD saved file and copy them into the current active document. The two documents have the same size and I need to be able to change text layers after copying. Anyone has any advice or examples of how I might be able to do this?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    Kind regards

    Try the script in entry below. You must open the destination file, and you must put in the path and name where your source file. It will not choose a layer from background from the source file.

    var doc = activeDocument;
    var sDoc = open(sFile);

        var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
        var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );

            var idLyr = charIDToTypeID( "Lyr " );
            var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
            var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
            ref1.putEnumerated( idLyr, idOrdn, idTrgt );
        desc2.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
    executeAction( idselectAllLayers, desc2, DialogModes.NO );
