• ESX 3.5 move VM OS to a new data store

  Update of ESX 3.5.0 Build 4 153875

  I have a front-end server, Exchange 2007 (2008 x 64 OS), which has only a single drive (OS) configured on a data store presented by Clarion AX4.5 SAN. I wanted to move this disk in another data store that has more free space and the highest performance, but I'm not sure of the exact procedure.

  1 so I wanted instead of the disc on the data store runnign run it on the data store 2.

  Can I clone it to the same ESX host and simply select the new data store? Or would it be preferable to P2V to the new data store. This seems like it should be simple, but I'm stuck on what is recommended for this. Of course, since it is the front-end exchange I want nothing to screw.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  If you have virtual center the easiest might be to cold migrate stop the virtual machine and migrates - you can leave it on the same ESX host, but will give you the ability to move the virtual disk.

• Copy of VM to the new data store

  I need to copy an existing virtual machine to one datatstore to the other, initially, I thought that I would be able to register to the VM, clone the virtual machine and then unregister the virtual machine.

  Unfortunately the VM I will be copying is the virtual Center VM and therefore this action must be carried out while it is connected to a host and cloning is a feature of VC.

  Is the best method to use the New-TkeDatastoreDirectory and TkeDatastoreFile-copy to copy these through to the new data store?  I think I read earlier that it does not work or is very slow for large VMDK files?

  Thank you

• How to migrate Office persistent link clones of workstations for the new data store

  Hello. We have clones of persistent link to view running in the environment from our view. We need to migrate these desktops to new storage. Rebalancing is out as this will include a refresh operation - destroy anything and everything installed in c:\ of the user. Is there a method to migrate Desktop clone link persistent to a new data store, while keeping the office in the same exact state (i.e. c:\ is not updated).

  Thank you

  Never say impossible. I came across the solution when I read the article by Duncan Epping:

  http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/03/15/Dr-of-view-persistent-linked-clone-desktops/

  I have that for my situation. Basically, replicate data from view in the new storage warehouses. Set up data warehouses replicated without re-signing with the cluster of ESXi. Turn the power off and unsubscribe the vCenter view workstations. Save the workstations from the data store replicated/mounted to vCenter and power over desktop computers.

  VCenter, nothing dramatic has happened if she sees just as vm being unregistered and re-recorded activity from the same exact data store (the same UUID). View Admin is happy because he sees just the events as desktop computers that have been turned off and then subsequently in reverse. Nothing has changed regarding the database to view ADAM, we still use the same data warehouses.

  I have already tested before for a scenario of View DR, and he succeeded. Between remembering who and Duncan's article helped me to adapt the same process for this. Nothing is impossible

• PowerCLI, vm of moving to the new data store

  Hello

  I have to move vm to a new data store

  What are the good commands powercli

  my version of my CV is 5.0xxxx

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  Concerning

  Marius Aulie

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

• 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.

• Issue of SDRS to vCloud Director after you add the new data store to the Cluster of DTS

  Hi people,

  We use vCloud Director 5.5 in a vSphere full 5.5 environment.

  We have several DTS Cluster in vSphere and connected to vCloud Director.

  Following problem.

  When I add a data store to a Cluster of DTS and connect this to the corresponding storage profile data store, the storage profile is not available to vCloud Director more.

  After removing the new store data in the cluster of DTS, the profile becomes available again.

  Any ideas?

  Concerning

  Jean

  How did you the storage profile associated with the data store?  via c# client or vSphere web client?

  If you did the wrong way (c#) there no storage class label appropriate against it.

  A data cluster store has the storage class who would have all preparations of data contained inside.

  I think that you should check the service class is associated properly in vSphere web client (before adding to the DS Cluster).  Once it displays correctly, and then add the data store to the cluster.

• Add the new data store

  Hello

  I'm sorry if someone already asked this question before.

  I'm just starting with VMWARE.

  my main at work gave me an old DELL Poweredge 2950 and asked me to install esxi 5 and set up a network and separate area to work with.

  This server got a limitation of 400 GB of HARD drive. I want to use the external USB HDD as additional storage. I got the rank of server 2 TB external HARD drive to use.

  in the start-up phase, is to recognize the HARD drive, but when I want to add as a data store, it does not show anything.

  is there a way I can use the HARD disc as data store extra or not. If I can, can someone please help me with this.

  Thank you

  Krishna

  Unless this HARD drive can be connected to a supported interface card you won't have much luck. You don't mention the interface - if "Server Grade" arrives as meaning 'external SAS port to support RAID card' then it should 'work '.

  From what you describe, I'm imagining a USB - this is not taken care of for a data store.

• Can't see the new data store

  I created a new LUN on my NetApp storage system.   In VMware, the iSCSI initiator of software in "Static discovery" shows that the objectives have been discovered.  On the NetApp, one system "> iscsi initiator show" shows that the iSCSI HBA is properly connected to the storage system.  However, when I conduct a new analysis of data warehouses in vSphere client, the new LUN never appears so I can format it with VMFS.  Anyone know what could be the problem?

  Thank you!

  You introduce the LUNS to the host/initiator group?

• Comment fails to power after moving to a new data store.

  I had this problem a lot where migrate machines. I navigate to the data store appropriate and right click on the folder of the guest, and I select "move". I choose the new data store and sit back and watch the progress bar. Once its migration adds the guest to the inventory and try to power on. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to repeat the steps above twice. Why missing files when trying to turn on when I move the files this way?

  Right-click on the virtual machine, click on migrate.  Follow the prompts for destination until you reach the Select data store.  Click the radio button "Move virtual machine and virtual disks configuration files" and select the new data store.

• Move a vmdk file finely put in service a new data store - now it's thick?

  Hi all

  To elaborate a little bit on the title, I installed a second hard drive in my ESXi 4 server.  All my VMs use discs finely put into service, however, after that I moved the files of the virtual machine to the new data store (using mv) and readded the virtual machine to inventory, the disks are provided are thinner but are thick.  This behavior is expected?

  This is behavior expected - don't use mv to VMDK!

  Use rather
  vmkfstools-i thin d

• Deployment uses the local data store

  The deployment of VIO works without problem, but one of the virtual machines (VIO-DB-0) is now in a local data store. I never chose this data store in the installation process.

  Is it possible to manually move the virtual machine? Is it possible to define the data store used for the management of virtual machines somewhere?

  Concerning

  Daniel

  Hi Daniel,.

  Take a look at VMware integrated OpenStack 1.0 Release Notes:

  • Installer gives priority to local storage by default
    When you set up the data for the database stores three virtual machines, VMware OpenStack Setup integrated automatically gives priority to a local storage to improve IO performance. For resilience, users might prefer a shared storage, but the installer does not clear how to change this setting.
  • Workaround: Before completing the installation process, the installer of VMware OpenStack integrated allows you to examine and change the configuration. You can use this opportunity to change the configuration of the data to the database store three virtual machines.

  If you have already installed VIO, AFAIR you should be able to manually move between data warehouses as long as you do not change VM itself.

  Note that there is rule anti-affinite, so you may not be able to move that VM in the same data store when no other VIO - DB resides.

  Another note is that if you turn off VIO-DB-0, mysql service will not appear automatically. you have to turn on manually by running "service mysql start" on the node itself, or run 'vioconfig start' of the SGD server.

  Best regards

  Karol

• DTS moves to the same data store

  Greetings,

  We are short v5.5u1 esxi and vcenter device with DTS clusters installation using thresholds to space only at this time. We do not limit our VM to place records on the same data and store, and in view of the virtual machine can have his records scattered across data warehouses in a cluster of the DS.

  We have many events that seem to do nothing is represented below.  Everyone agrees that something actually happens or vcenter turns his wheels?

  

  Thank you

  Ron

  Just answered my own question... it has to do with my scattered placement of vmdk. Since the vmx file lives on a given data store, the event shows that the activity... However if you check the DTS tab for the cluster data store you will find the disks associated with the virtual machine on other data warehouses were actually moved.
