• How to change the vmdk in another data store

  for my vm four disks are there I want to increase disk capacity but there is no space on the data store

  Hello

  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.

• 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.

  Hello

  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.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• Storage vMotion a VM except disk that is in another data store

  Hello

  I'm looking to convert a large number of virtual machines clones related to thick.  I decided the best way to do this is probably a simple a storage vMotion, but all the virtual machines have a secondary drive that is in another data store.  I have to make sure that disk #2 stays at its current location, while the machine virtual (Config and disk #1 files) are transferred to a new data store data store.

  I figured out how to move a virtual machine complete or a single disc but not a virtual machine under a disc.  I am able to make it through the advanced options of puissancela vSphere client so I guess it is techinically possible.

  Pointers or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  You will need to use the API method, see for example Re: using several data stores, cannot migrate the vmx file in a data store

• 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.

  VM have been storage vMotioned to another data store, and now I have 3 VM with white "!" inside a red square and I want to understand the cause of this.

  Can you try to make a vmotion host and see if it gets resolved? If not, can you close the virtual machine and start again? I have seen this problem before and a stop and start resolved.

• VM to the another data store

  Can someone tell me how I can move a virtual machine from a to another data store?  I get cold?  Or can it be done live?  I have esxi embedded and a san, equallogic for my configuration of vmware (with VMware infrastructure).

  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.

  Here's a good way for:

• Unable to scp - r of the local data store a host to another data store local host

  Using PuTTY to connect to the host server

  Running command to copy VM to a data store to another data store (the two DS hosted locally on 2 different servers)

  Error: are different major versions of Protocol: 2 vs 1

  -J' tried confirmed that the only protocol on two host servers are defined in Protocol No. 1 and as I use Putty I have the Protocol in 1 also, but the same error occurs.

  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!

• 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:

  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 a virtual machine in another data store

  Hello

  On our ESX 4, we have created pools of resources and multiple data on SAN warehouses.

  To move that a VM resource with Betclic is very easy, but howto move a virtual machine from a to another data store?

  If I understand your question you should migrate your VM to the different data store.

  Right-click on a virtual machine, select migrate..., select Change location of data, select the desired data store, select virtual disk format (end/thick)...

• Lack of space in the unable to consolidate data store, what can I do now?

  Hi all:

  Today, a single server VM was off because of the latest snapshot of veeam.

  I wen to vm machine to the Snapshot Manager and delete the snapshot.

  After you remove the server has been started and it seems that everything is OK except the message this need of consolidation server.

  I tried to regroup, but when I try to consolidate, it shows me this error

  An error occurred in consolidating the discs: msg.disklib.NOSPACE.

  After trial of vmware knowledge base I'm cloning virtual machine in another data store that is has a bit more space (temporary) so I test if it works this VM cloned as the original.

  I have a few questions. the original VM is up and runing correctly... but I don't know what to do next, please can you help me?

  1. I can move the original VM to another store of data with more than one space the machine consolidate? or it's very risky?

  2 I can always use the actual virtual machine without group until I have buy new data store and the passage to the new data store and consolidate? or maybe to clone the virtual machine to the new data store and remove them the old VM?

  3º if the cloned version works like the original VM machine, I guess I can pass version clone production and delete the virtual machine no consolidated this original data store?

  Kind regards

  There's nothing uncommon to 'Migrate' computer virtual data to another store. With Essentials it will unfortunately take time out well (without live migration of storage available).

  In any case, the cloning should also work. The clone will get however a new address UUID and MAC, (i.e. you may need to reconfigure the network), and the cloned VM will get a new ID of virtual machine, which can be important if you use a virtual machine based backup application. However, cloning does not touch the source, so if something does not work as expected you still have the source available.

• 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
