Need to rename a data store.

Dear team,

I have a SAN Lun mapped to one of the esx host, sure I created a data store, now we are planing to make a naming convention appropriate to a data store g exisitn, I need to rename a data store. is it possible to rename a data store where the VM production? It will affect running virtual machines that are stored on this data store. ????

concerning

Mr. VMware

You can rename no problem with no impact to your infrastructure.  It is simply an object name in vCenter

    If anyone knows what I m hurt you showme how please!

    Two thoughts:

    1. If you have changed somehow the object type that you want to keep, you must remove the Simulator files before running again.
    2. How about you provide a clue as to where the class cast exception that happens? You are more likely to help in this way.

  • Need help an existing data store is no longer to go in

    I have a data store that no longer exists on my SAN.  It still appears in the inventory as being inactive.  I can't remove it.  When I try to get the following:

    Call 'HostDatastoreSystem.RemoveDatastore' of object "datastoreSystem-121"on vCenter Server 'VCENTERSERVER2.onebane.com' failed."
    Operation failed, the diagnostic report: unable to query live VMFS volume State. : no such file or directory

    In addition, an of my hosts shows that it is always connected to what is interesting because the LUN has disappeared.  No VM appear on the virtual computers tab.

    Is there a way to force this LUN of stocks?

    Thank you very much!

    I've not seen instructions either - I just connect via ssh as root
    Then I use winscp and navigate to/etc/vmware
    There you can right click on esx.conf and change it.

    Helped me once to solve a similar problem.

    You will find a section starting with
    LUN/storage.

    Each logic unit number has two lines... I just removed the two lines for you LUN in question.

  • Shrink a VM HD - is the destination data store need to have enough space for the source or destination VM?

    Hi all

    I have an existing file with HD Server configures:

    HD1: 60 GB

    HD2: 20 GB

    HD3: 650 GB

    Total: 730 GB

    I intend to shrink HD3 250 GB that will give me a new total of 330 GB.

    My question is, when I rode the VMware Converter Standalone process and I get to the step where I select the 'destination '.  Obviously, I need to select a data store that can adapt to the virtual destination machine.

    My concern is that it shows the size of the source disk (Go 730) (see image below), and for some reason any part of the conversion process the destination data store requires the storage of the size of 330 GB vm 730GB as opposed to the 'new '.

    source disk size.PNG

    Can anyone confirm?

    Thank you

    There are no for the data store 730 GB free in order to submit the conversion. 330 GB free (size after reduction) would be sufficient.

    If you also select a provisioning, you could even start the conversion with less free space on the data store, but it may fail at some point, if the actual data meet.

  • Data store renamed after failover

    Hello

    I use vSphere U2 with SRM 5.0 5.0.  Storage is a synchronous of NetApp V3210 at FAS2240-4.

    I did a cover of the SRM and I found that the data store in vCenter was renamed snap-xxxx-datastore_name.  Why the data store has been renamed?  Can I prevent SRM to rename the data store?  Is it possible to get the data store named return to what it was originally?  If so, how can I do it?

    Dear all,

    I need to understand if this is possible or not, I have a data store who have a few VM in it, if for some reason any Naming Convention I want to rename the data store, it can be done without disruption of the VM? The confusion here is from VM disk shows that the data store in 'change settings' how this will change if the data store is renamed using vCenter server.

    You can rename your store data without problems and with the virtual machines running on it, since vSphere using the UUID data store and not the display name.

  • Kickstart: Local data store destroyed do not reinstall it

    I noticed that when I reinstall ESXi 5 on a server already built, the previous local data store is not destroyed.

    I said to make a 'install' and 'overwritevmfs '.

    install - firstdisk = mptsas, local - overwritevmfs

    in the upper part of the kickstart but the store of previous local data remains.

    I tried to use clearpart

    clearpart - alldrives - overwritevmfs

    Yet the local data store of the previous generation, as well.

    Part of my process of kickstart is to rename the store local data (datastore1) to a meaningful name that includes the hostname so if I reinstall, the data store rename fails (since there is no datastore1 on the 2nd install).  Also, I need to know the name of the data store, as I'm checking out the files ' / ' when installing (via oem.tgz) and move before the first reboot in the section post % (or they will be gone). The only persistent location is the local data store. This also effects kickstart for resettlement syslog that goes to the local data store as well.

    Suggestions on how do I delete a data store local existing during the installation (unless you delete the RAID and re-create)?

  • Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is back different physical storage

    Hello

    I am new to vCenter Server, so you can assume that I'm missing something obvious.

    I installed vCenter Server 5.5 and one of the two hosts of re-usable ESXi 5.0.0 connected correctly. When I try to connect to the second 5.0.0 ESXi host, I get the error message:

    Data store 'datastore1' is in conflict with a store of data that exists in the data center which has the same URL (.), but is supported by different physical storage

    I Googled it and found what I think are the best answers that are successful, but they all seem pretty unique in their situation (they have a cluster, I do not have) etc. Some solutions involve disconnecting the store of data and reconstruction of things. I would not make things worse and can live without doubt with the help of vSphere client (and not the web client) until maybe I can start again with a 5.5 installation to a new host once I have back up everything from the host unconnectable. I closed all the VM on the host of the second. I have put in maintenance mode. I've renamed the data store, all to nothing does not.

    Thanks in advance

    The problem is that a whole army could not be connected to vCenter due to the problem, the solution involving disconnection of the host apply.

    Here is how I solved the problem:

    1 use the client vSphere client heavy, connect you to the host that cannot not be connected to vCenter Server.

    2. click on the host computer, and then click the Configuration tab.

    3. click on "storage".

    4. find the offending on the right data store.

    5. right click on the data store incriminated and click 'remove '.

    6. click on 'Add storage' in the top right.

    7. follow the steps to find this data not mounted store. I gave him a new name just to be sure, even if it's probably not necessary.

  • VMware ESXi 5.1.0 VMFS5 maximum data store size

    Hi all

    I read white papers on VMFS and I get conflicting answers on the maximum size of a VMFS5 data store.

    We are using a Dell EqualLogic PS6100 and linking the LUNS via iSCSI for host servers.

    I need to create a data store TB 4 for my file server reside on.

    (A) is it possible?

    (B) are there performance problems with the largest data warehouses such as I want to do.

    Block sizes C) must be modified to mount a data store of this size and how you do it.

    Any idea or article links would be greatly appreciated.

    Keith

    (A) Oui it is possible but you will need to use a RDM - ESXi 5 allows access to 64 TB but the size of the virtual disk is always capped at 2 TB - 512b

    (B) you must not

    (C) with ESXi 5 block size is no longer a variable that you define for a VMFS data store

  • Remove a data store

    I need to remove a data store so that I can reformat vmfs3 to vmfs5. It is my understanding that vcenter will not introduce any APD or correct payday loans? The LUN will remain visible to all guests, as I said I just need to remove the data store on this subject, so I can recreate it with vmfs5.

    I guess after I remove it, I should questions some hosts renumerisations (except done automatically vcenter) before I recreate?

    Thank you.

    You are right, since you don't anyone the LUN, there is no problem with ODA...

    Simply remove the data store and create a new one. After that you can rescan all hosts so that they detect the new format.

  • Best practices for a NFS data store

    I need to create a data store on a NAS and connect to some servers ESXi 5.0 as a NFS datastore.

    It will be used to host virtual machines less used.

    What are the best practices to create and connect a datastore NFS or networking and storage view bridges in order to get the best possible performance and decrease is not the overall performance of the network?

    Concerning

    Marius

    Create a new subnet of layer 2 for your NFS data warehouses and set it up on his own vSwitch with two uplinks in an active configuration / eve of reunification. Uplink should be variously patches in two distinct physical switches and the subnet must have the disabled bridge so that NFS traffic is not routable in other parts of your network. NFS export can be restricted to the IP address of storage host IP (address of the VM kernel port you created for NFS in the first step), or any address on that subnet. This configuration isolates traffic NFS for performance, ensures the security and redundancy. You should also consult your whitepapers of storage vendors for any specific recommendation of the seller.

    Data warehouses can be made available for the guests you wish and you can use Iometer to compare PAHO are / s and flow rate to see if it meets your expectations and requirements.

  • The data store name already exists

    Hello

    I have 3 hosts in my group and I am trying to add a 4th. The host, I'm trying to add part of the cluster, but it was removed there because it has been used a few weeks somewhere else. I have since reinstalled ESX and try to add back to the cluster.

    When I try and add a NFS data store to the host named "NAS-storage" added it is automatically renamed to "NAS-storage (1)", if I try the rename without (1) I get an error message...  "The NAS-storage name already exists." 3 other guests are currently connected to the data without any problem store.

    How can I fix it?

    I tried to reboot the host, restart the service of railway infrastructure and to rename the data store on the other hosts to something else.

    Welcome to the forums.

    Make sure that you add the store of data with exactly the same name/IP address and the name of path as those mounted on other hosts

    You can get the correct mount point by running

    esxcfg-nas -l

    I have recently upgraded a number of servers to ESX 4.1 to 5 ESXi and vCenter vCenter 4 5 and have noticed a problem. Whenever I have rename a data store or a network, the new name is added to the list of network or data store, but the old name is too present. In the past, if I had a data store and renamed her, I'd still only 1 ad for the renamed data store. With ESXi 5, I have two - the former name and the new name. It goes the same for networks. And they always appear in vCenter as being attached to the host. I tried to disconnect/reconnect vcenter, removing the host and add it again, restart the ESX host and always the old names appear.  If I look at the host through vShpere, everything seems OK with the renowned name 1.  But vCenter can't seem to let go of the old data store names and network.  Any ideas?

    I can't tell you for sure. This has to do with the return to a snapshot of the IMO. If you have a single host and back to a snapshot you will be logged out anyway (if the Group of ports of origin no longer exists). In a cluster, you will have the opportunity of the first migration/vMotion virtual computer to another host that maintains such a group of port before returning to a snapshot. As I said, just a thought.
