• Move a data store virtual computer in another data store

  I need to switch two VM of exisiting data store to a new store of data within a cluster.  What is the best way to do it? I have to stop the virtual computer in order to move the data store? Thank you

  ESX 3.02

  When you right-click on the customer, choose migrate.  The third screen will give you two options, one is to keep the other move, click on move, then next and finish.

  I think the "passage to the option" are you referring about doing the same thing... I am testing now.  But I know with certainty, that the cold migration will work.

• How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

  I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

  When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?

  
  

  Thank you

  When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

• How to move a single virtual disk (vmdk file) of one data store

  Hi guys,.

  I have a VM with 4 virtual disks (for example, 1.vmdk, 2.vmdk, 3.vmdk and 4.vmdk) all located on a SAN volume (e.g., SANVOL03). How can I move one of the virtual disks (for example, 3.vmdk) of its current volume of SAN to another (e.g. from SANVOL03 to SANVOL04) without turning off the virtual machine? It's vsphere 4.1

  Detach the VMDK virtual machine and move it manually on the desired data store.

• VMware ESXi 5.0 - "move to" data store a vmdk file has left at the original location

  Hi all

  I had to free up space on a SAN data store.  For this I used the function "move to...". "browser data store in VsphereClient.

  Did not notice directly but after I moved my E: drive vmdk file, he took no source data store.

  How can I make sure that vmdk (the source data store) may be deleted without impact on the vm?

  1. If 'vmkfstools d' report without lock, so I guess I could assume it is safe? Is there another way to check?

  2 vmkfstools seems not having the '-d' option in vSphere CLI? (East - this only accessible from ssh console on an ESXi? quid vCenter then?)

  In the data store, the files were:

  -Vm\win2k8_data.vmdk [SAN03] (data disk D :)

  -[SAN03] vm\win2k8_data - ctk.vmdk (-ctk looks that it has been created by Veeam)

  -[SAN03] vm\win2k8_transactlog.vmdk (E: transaction log 128 GB drive)

  -[SAN03] vm\win2k8_transact - ctk.vmdk (-ctk always assuming that it was created by Veeam ~ 8 MB)

  Steps to follow:

  -J' turned off the virtual machine using these car

  S ' installs 2 files on the E: drive

  -Removed the vm disk (<-my mistake? maybe this step left a lock file? in power vm off?)

  -Added the disk from the data store where I copied it

  Thanks for the help!

  behd

  Hi Behd,

  The best way to check if the vmdk on the source is not being used would be to add this vmdk to an existing virtual computer and turn on... ? If not used or is locked by one that turns on with success.

  If it has an instance running it wouldn't let you put under tension and raise an error of file locking. ?

• 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!

• Move VM vcenter to the new data store

  Hello

  I have a cluster with 2 data warehouses and I must "empy"one for then reassign the disks on the SAN. " However I seem to be in a situation of catch-22 virtual machines, I need to move/migrate is the VM vCenter. I need to have propelled him down to move the data store, but then I have no way related to migration. I presume that this requires a manual move/copy of the vCenter VM file to a data to another store, but not sure of the consequences etc..

  THX

  Gerry

  Since you are using a business license you can Storage vMotion, VM of for the new store of data without any stop.

  Select VM-> click on migrate-> select change Datastore Option

• migration of data store has failed - now there are two vm - one power off?

  I was migrating a vm fw at different stores of data when a failure has occurred. They may have been cancelled or it may have been the fact that our vcenter server has restarted. I don't know if this would have caused this problem.

  In any case, now, two of the VM series two - power and the other copies are turned off. One that is off is the data store b and the virtual machine is the one data store. The strange thing is, shows of b (power off vm) data store which is where the files are located while the virtual machine is on a. When I browse a datastore I cannot find all files... It just hangs. I googled but am stuck.

  See the screenshots for more details. Thanks in advance!

  Edit: finally to load two data warehouses. They both show identical files: vmdk, vmfx, vmsd etc. for the two virtual machines on two data stores. It's weird!

  Edit 2: or vm, on or off, power to the high/off or migrate or remove from the inventory. Both are 'ping' and one that is good though.

  I figured this out. I have ssh was the host of the virtual machine is on (the two virtual machines were on the same hosts). Down to power, I ran the following command "esxcli vm kill process - type = soft - world id = xxxxx."

  That he got the vm to stop. The virtual machine of the same name already powered off then showed as "orphans". I removed the orphan vm of the inventory, the other vm started automatically acknowledgement of receipt, then I deleted the orphan vm of the 2nd data store.

• remove the Cluster data store data store

  I have an infrastructure with vCenter and ESXi 4 5.5 I have a data cluster store in SAN with 8 Mon, I need to remove 3 Lun (to be used for other purposes) what is the appropriate procedure

  to remove the Lun (end then to destroy)? Thank you

  Do you want the LUN to use for purpose of non-vSphere? If so, you can just storage vMotion virtual machines since associated LUN data warehouses that you want to decommission (or simply putting the data store in maintenance mode, in this way, that the virtual machines will automatically be migrated). Cleaning after the data store, move the data store from the cluster data store, and then delete the VMware environment data store as described here: best practices: how to properly remove a unit number logic of a host ESX - VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs

• Get-hard drives - storage drives data store migrate between data warehouses

  Hi all

  
  

  Our current storage configuration with specially designed split-role of the bases of data storages (OS, LOG SQL, SQL DATA, APP, Exchange roles, etc.)  I do a storage store on my VMware Infrastructure and hoped to target only the disks of virtual machines that are on any data store and migrate them to another.  Rather new to PowerCli if you're wondering why the bellows of the command does not work and the reports that the file is locked.
  

  
  

  Get-hard drive - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Moving-hard drive - data store Datastore02

  If the machine virtual itself is made aware of the command?  Would I have to enumarte the virtual machines on the first data store and then target discs that everyone has and redirect it to the hard disk Move command?

  Thanks in advance

  Yes, you are banging in the sequence of commands trying to move a file on the data store without referencing the virtual machine. According to the State of the virtual machine (lit or not) of different things happen

  • VM power off - the disc is moved and the virtual machine is broken (the vmx file will always point to the original location for the HD that is no longer there)
  • Virtual MACHINE power - the disk is locked, so it cannot be moved (the error you have seen)

  Another thing to keep in mind is that the configuration of the VM is also on a data store, so if you want to move the entire virtual machine you can just move the hard drives

  If all the virtual machines on a data store have all their HDs on this data store then you can do something like

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Move-VM - data store "Datastore02".

  To access the VM configuration, but also his records. If you have virtual machines where the disks into a single virtual machine, then you will have a little more work to do to sort the records that must be moved

  Get - VM - data store 'Datastore01 ' | Get-hard drive | Where-Object {$_.} FileName.Contains ("[Datastore01]")} | Moving-hard drive - data store "Datastore02".

  This is all virtual machines with a component (hard drive or configuration) on Datastore1, and then for each VM is all hard disks that are on Datastore01 and the Datastore02

• Creating a new Cluster data store

  Hello

  Can we move a data store in a Cluster of data while its machines store still virtual hosting?  I was not able to find information on this. What I find the Clusters data store talking about new environments.  I'm working on an existing vSphere 5.5 but the storage of data are not grouped.  I want to place data warehouses in a Cluster of quick data without vMotioning store VMS off.

  Thank you

  Boston Tech Guy

  You can move the datastore in the store Cluster data without any downtime, and while VMS are running on it. (This is as same as you put cluster host, while VMS are running).

• Use the error report data store capacity

  Hello world

  When I try to get the report for a capacity of data store, I got an error like home but he had no explanation for the error.

  Does anyone know why I get this error? I've updated vCOps from 5.0.3 to 5.6. Maybe it has to do something with that.

  Thank you in advance.

  Thanks for the replies;

  I mean by object parent exactly your situation - this is the under(inside?) folder.

  If you can, try to move a data store on the file and reports should work for it.

  in any case, it is a known problem that will be fixed in the next version of update.

• Moving the data store files

  Hello
  
  It's on 11.2.2.4.1
  
  If I move my data store files (ds0, ds1, etc.) to a new location, is there a way to get TimesTen use from the new location?
  
  I tried moving them and update the sys.odbc.ini but get * 10003: unexpected database file exist for new data store * which I suppose is because the TT daemon keeps a record of location of data of the DSN file, as seen in ttStatus.
  
  I have to go through a route of backup/restore (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/timesten.112/e13063/upgrade.htm) to move data files a data store?
  
  Thank you.

  Yes, if you want to re - locate the control point files or transaction logs you must proceed as follows:

  1 stop all activities demand etc. on the data store.

  2. make a full backup using ttBackup.

  3. remove the data of the memory store.

  4. destroy the datastore usign ttDestroy.

  5. change the Datastore or LogDir attributes in sys.odbc.ini to point to the new locations.

  6. restore the backup data store using ttRestore

  7. you can now start and use the data store.

  It is the change of safely / supported only the location of the files in the data store.

• Host virtual computer and Migration of data store

  I'm curious. I have an environment with Cisco UCS UC servers without them. Due to they are C-Series all storage is local for UC virtual machines run. I'll add some of the UCS C-Series servers and you want to move two of my current C-Series server CPU virtual machines to the new. I have the license Enterprise Plus 4.1 for all servers and execution of vCenter. The migration will be basicall move local data store to store local data as well under the name from host to host. My plan is to turn off the virtual machines and migrate both host and the data store at the same time. I have groups of ports built as follows:

  Port of VMKernerl groups:

  -Storage (for future shared storage)

  -vMotion

  -PI

  -ESXi Mgmt

  Virtual machine:

  -CPU VMS

  -Machines virtual server

  My overall question is during this migration takes place this network (or a group of Port) will be the traffic go anywhere for the move? My guess is because it is the local storage, it will use the Mgmt. ESXi

  Thank you!

  If the virtual machine will be moved to store Local data to store common data shared through 2 esxi host, then the storage shared for local storage.

  So this will be the case through network vMotion and not via the management network.

  But you can enable vmotion on management network itself. If you have configured like this then yes communication will be via the management via vmotion network IPkerenel active network.

• Script Help: VM-&gt; data store Associations

  Hello world

  Our VM names usually end with a number (WEB1, WEB2, etc.) and our data store names also end in a number. For redundancy of the application, we use warehouses of data whose names ending with numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending in even numbers and data warehouses with names ending with odd numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending with odd numbers. In the physical world, odd numbered data warehouses and the presenters are physically separated from those even.

  I tried to create a PowerCLI script to report incompatibilities (people make mistakes) so that I can know if any VM storage on the 'wrong' type of data store (same VM on odd storage or vice versa).

  I'm really green with PowerShell and PowerCLI and suspect that there is a way to use the Get - ViewType VirtualMachine view, but have failed so far.

  In my environment most VMs use more than one data store, so the script needs to check each store data used by each virtual computer for a mismatch and I want to run the report against my whole environment (a single VC server).

  If anyone knows something similar that has already been done or can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

  -Matt

  The attached script uses a regular expression to extract the number of the guestname and the datastorename.

  Then it uses the modulus of the division by 2 to check if it's a curious (1) or (0) number the same.

  When you compare these between the client and the data store, you will find differences.
