• Need help while mapping of data to another host store.

  Dear team,

  I have a single cluster and two hosts esx is a member of the same thing. now ESX1 SAN1 lun that is only visible to host ESX1, now we have mapped LUN SAN1 at ESX2, it is visible to add windows storage

  

  Now when I go to add the same I m getting this screen...

  

  What option I will choose to add a data without lossing store existing data.

  Please help me, it's urgent...?

  Concerning

  Mr. VMware...

  From orders, it seems that your colleague has checked if the LUNS were visible as of the snapshot LUNS and then mounted their strength to the host (see, for example, http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387) Once mounted he checked if data warehouses are available (write access) simply by creating and deleting the file.

  In any case, if the ID LUN LUN in the same environment of vCenter Server do not match you may run into questions at a later time. Then please ensure the LUN ID match!

  PS: It is equivalent to the "vdf" Linux command 'df' command, but has a few additions about the scores of VMware.

• How do you move a folder or file from a data to another store

  I'm NOT talking to move a virtual machine, just a folder as a folder named ISO and a bunch of ISO in the folder for example. You cannot use to migrate it so please don't tell me to right-click the virtual machine and choose migrate.

  Current options

  Of course I can download a folder on my desktop, then re upload the folder on my desktop, but you are looking for something better in the vcenter (web or client) gui or result finally go to Putty and issuance of an order. Not that I don't like not PuTTY, I like it, but I normally have security disabled for orders, so when I want to move some files or folders autour, it's a pain.

  Thank you all for you help.

  Have you already taken a glance options 'Move' the browser data store? BTW, only the vSphere Windows based Client is able to manage folders.

• 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

• . 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!

• How to move a virtual machine to another store of data on the same host

  Hello

  I have a single ESX4 host with 3 data warehouses and I need to move a virtual machine to another data store, how can I do that since I don't have the ability to migrate the virtual machine when I am connected directly to the client with vSphere host and I do not have a server vCenter also?

  Thanks, Julien

  Hello

  Yes, you can use #vmkfstools-i /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM/VM.vmdk /vmfs/volumes/datastore/VM1/VM1.vmdk

  For the record, the data store must be shared if you copy of VM and VM must be turned off. In the above command you copy VM.vmdk to VM1.vmdk and add the newly created with this existing VMDK VM.

• Cannot move a server from a data to another store.

  Hello

  First post on the forum

  I can't move one of my server VM to a data store (when it stops, of course).

  The "migrate" option is disable.

  If I clone this server, I can move the clone to a store of data to another, because the migration option, is to allow.

  You have an idea?

  Thank you.

• Move VM - change data store

  Hello

  It is a matter of mutliplart, but I hope that simple to follow. I need to move my VM's to another store of data from my ESXi host / node, so I can upgrade the host harware. Quick background; We have a Dell T605 ESXi server with 1 RAID 5 array. We're going to upgrade the current RAID and add another RAID 1, using RAID 1 for the console and RAID 5 for our database. We now have another ESXi host online, and the main quaestion is what is the best way to move the virtual machine to the host 'temporary', while we improve the primary host. The virtual machine need not run, what is the best way to copy them from one host to another? Once copied to the host 'main', how ca we add these VM in our inventory? We have researchd, moving the virtual machine using SCP fast and tested, works well, but we can't understand how to add to our inventory VM in the VI Client cousole. Currtenlty we test using Vcenter converter. Not sure that the best and fastest is to make our copy of data / backup.

  Thanks for your help and your thoughts...

  There are many options availible to do what you want. You can:

  (1) CPC (as you already have)

  (2) to clone the VMDK (vmkfstools - i, in your case, you will need to use rcli)

  (3) storage Vmotion

  Once you get it on the new data store, (if you are on the same HOST) you want to remove the virtual machine (you moved) inventory, and then access the *.vmx on the new data store and (right click) add to the inventory.

• I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk

  I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk.

  Can I specify where Firefox puts the profile and the addons?

  If another location, then Windows uses by default.
  c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

  WinXP, FF 3.6.8

  You can do this by using the Profile Manager. When you create a new profile, you can specify a location for the profile folder.

  You may create a new profile, and then transfer the data to it. For more information, see create a new profile for Firefox on Windows and transferring data to a new profile.

• How copy/paste or copy/move a file to another folder in Windows XP

  I need to copy/paste or copy/move the files from one folder to program existing to another folder.

  Use the movement commands to copy do?

  Hi Jimmyjack1941,

  I suggest you to read the following articles for more information.

  These are the items if you use the Windows Explorer to perform operations:

  To copy a file or folder

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_copy_file.mspx?mfr=true

  To move a file or folder

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_move_files.mspx?mfr=true

  You can follow these commands to move and rename the file or folder using the command prompt:

  Moves files and renames files and directories.

  To move one or more files:
  MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] file1 [,...] destination

  To rename a directory:
  MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] dirname1 repert2

  [drive:] [path] file1	Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move.
  destination	Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you move a single file, you can also include a file name if you want to rename the file when you move it.
  [drive:] [path] dirname1	Specifies the directory you want to rename.
  repert2	Specifies the new name of the directory.
  /Y	Deletes the request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.
  Y	Causes of request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

  The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This can be derived with / y on the command line. Default value is quick to replace unless is running of command MOVE within a command script.

  Example:

  move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp

  Move the temporary directory c:\windows\temp files in the root, this is of course assuming you have the windows\temp folder.

  Note: Microsoft does not move the files/folders installed application.

  Hope this information helps.

  How can I move a picture of one image to another file

  If the file is located in a folder in your own user account and you want to move to another folder in your user account, simply open the windows and right-click/drag the file. If you want to make available to another user on the file system, copy in the Public directory. That's what the Public is for.
