Move the location of the VM swap file in another data store

Hi all

Was in a task to move the 1000 to the file location of VM swap on another data store which is newly assigned to Exchange us to the existing store database file that will be decommissioned.

Eager to check if anyone has made movement swap of VM location of the files to a data store to another and that all measures taken to move.

Require some VM downtime?

Thanks in advance a ton.

Yes it is possible without interruption of service to virtual machines.

1. make sure that your cluster is configured to use swap data store specified by host

2. take a host in the cluster in maintenance mode, change the location of the VM configuration file to point to the new data store

3. do this for all hosts in the cluster

When you vMotion a VM from one host to another the swap file will get moved to the new data store. Later when you take guests to the maintenance and return output mode, vMotion occurs for each computer in the cluster virtual and file is moved.

  • move the primary database files to another location

    Hi all

    I move the files of my primary database to another location on the same server, but on a different drive (from f: to G :) with rename comand but file name will be the same, after you have moved the files what step I need to perfom on standby DB will have on my database pending?)

    This doc is everything after you rename the primary file, I'm not rename all the files I need to just move file from one place to another without changing the file name.

    I hope you know how to move files from one place to the other on the primary database. It's not just copying the files from one disk to another and then to go to the top of your database.

    You rename your data files or copy it to another location, how the controlfile to know you have copied/renamed to a different location?

    I guess you 1 to ask the question of how to move files to a different location in primary education and then move on standby.

  • I want to move the folder Program Files to another hard drive.

    I have Windows 7 installed on a small primary partition on one of the two hard drives, double boot with Windows XP.  My installation of Windows XP is on a smaller primary partition (like Windows 7) and Program Files folder on a separate drive logic in an extended partition, not on the system drive.  I want to make a folder Program Files of Windows 7 on the same logical drive, Program Files and move the Program Files from Windows 7 folder to that partition on the second hard drive.

    Just an update.  I finally managed to move 'Users' on a separate partition, so my installation of Windows 7 now has Windows on a partition, the files program on a logical drive in an extended partition, and users on a separate logic in this extended partition.

    On the Windows partition, there are junctions that point to the logical drive Program Files and the logical drive of users and editing the registry to set these default locations.  Windows updates proceed normally and successfully.  Program facilities smoothly and work as expected.  I'll post my procedures on my site, I hope that in the near future, after that I tested and confirmed their on my other Windows 7 machines.

    Be forewarned, however, that this separation will break the ability to repair/reinstall (upgrade on-site) Windows 7.  It will stop when he sees that Program Files not are not on the system partition.  However, in my particular case, I depend on third-party software disk for backup, Imaging for the loss of this functionality (repair/reinstall) has no real interest for me.  Restore a disk image is much faster.

    There are other methods posted on the net to separate these main divisions of Windows during the installation. My methods are intended to guide differently to an existing facility while retaining all the features.  And once again, as shown in this thread, Microsoft Support seems to discourage that kind of thing.

  • Error when you try to move the cloudvolumes folder in a different data store

    OK, so I'm moving my App volume 2.10 cloudvolumes folder of datastoreA on vcenterA on datastoreB on vcenterB, because we want to separate us from our VDI of our basic infrastructure.

    We are able to access the two vcenters on the web client.

    I tried to just copy the folder datastoreA to datastoreB cloudvolumes and received the following error.

    Copy of the file object has already been deleted or has not been entirely created


    I've seen this error in Veeam before when moving virtual machines from a data store. The solution is to remove and readd the virtual machine in the inventory.


    Everyone tried to move the cloudvolumes folder?


    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thank you



    I would never move the folder because there are files that will always be accessible or are not in read/write mode.

    I suggest you copy the files from the 1 folder to another, or maybe add an additional data store to the manager Appvolumes and let the files (appstacks at least) copy automatically.

  • Query in the export of files in a data file

    Hello
    I did a project for the export of files in a data file using this link below:

    http://www.Oracle.com/WebFolder/technetwork/tutorials/OBE/FMW/ODI/odi_11g/odi_project_ff-to-FF/odi_project_flatfile-to-flatfile.htm

    My project works very well. Here, the source file is local m/c (C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_ODI1\oracledi\demo\file).
    (1) what should I do if the source file is located in a remote m/c(says its' ip is 172.22.18.90)?
    (2) will cause no problem if the remote m / c operating system is unix
    Thank you
    Papai

    NB:-my m / c OS is windows 7.

    If you can access the other machine as a sharing folder then provide the same path in the physical schema as \\my_other_pc_on_shared\new_folder

    If you can't access it, and then create an agent on this machine that can access the path and run your project by using the agent.

    Thank you

  • "move a file of this data store...". »

    I see a white icon in the properties of the vCenter data and store when I go over it, it reads "move a file of this data store to another location accessible to vCenter.    I wonder if I could use this icon to move a VMDK to a VM in DataStore1 file to another virtual machine to the same data store (IE DataStore1) so that the VMDK is now up to the second VM.  I think about it because I need to migrate a virtual 2003 Windows computer to a Windows 2008 VM and the second vDisk in the Windows 2003 VM is strictly a big data VMDK (about 650 GB) drive.  The data store has a capacity of 1 TB with about 250 remaining GB... so I can not copy the file, BUT if I MOVE it so would not create a vmdk duplicate file and I would not approve the data store.   Anyone know?

    There are two files associated with each virtual disk. The disk.vmdk and the disc - flat hard the disk.vmdk is just a descriptor text for the virtual disk. You can read the disk.vmdk with vi or simply use

    cat disk.vmdk
    

    It will point to the disc - flat hard. The EI vmksftools will rename two files vmdk and change the pointer in the disk.vmdk file.

    MV does not change the pointer inside the disk.vmdk

  • Moving a disk of the user in another data store

    Hello!

    I have an office pool that is used by a few users and now I discovered, as i wan't to upgrade the user drives my Netapp file server to use snapshots on them. Is there a way to move a disc of the user to its current location on the same os drive data store was a new data store?

    I know that I can put in place a new pool, but let the user discs when I do this, so this isn't an option.

    Anyone know how I can keep my user records, moving them to another data store?

    Currently a UDD cannot be moved the data to be backed up and restored. Alternatively, you can also turn on roaming profiles have the connection of the user in two places, once everything is in place, turn them off.

  • Create the snapshot in another data store

    Hi all

    On ESXi 4, is it possible to create snapshot in another data store? The reason is that the current data store is almost full. Thank you.

    As far as I know, the snapshots are always in the same place as the files of the virtual machine. Then, it is not possible to snapshots in the other data that the VM store.

    SVMotion is the best way, it's a live migration.  You can do this through the RCLI or GUI.  For me, the graphical interface is better.

    Solution is that you must change the drive to another data store and increase space.

    First findout in spatial data store is avaialble.

    Select the virtual machine and migration - migration datastore - Advanced - click the drive on which you want to increase space - browse - choose data store where space is available - finishing

    After migration - more space.

    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!
