• Can I watch movies from my Netgear Stora on the new Apple TV

  Hi, I have a Netgear Stora as a server for movies, if this is related to my router as it is now, and a new Apple TV if I can watch my movies?
  Thank you.

  Yes, there are a few apps that allow you to do this. In my view, Plex and merger are those that many use.

• Resizing data store - ESXI 5.5.0

  Hi all

  Bit of a problem here - I am trying to add a disk to a single host, HP DL380p Gen 8 Server ESXI 5.5.0 (update of HP Image 2) with a controller P420i (6 600 GB discs in RAID6)

  I added the disk in the array existing ok so there is now 7 600 Go discs - ESXI sees capacity update under the storage view (previous capacity was 2 TB)

  

  However under the view of storage of the data store

  

  In the properties of the data store, I can see the ability increases however I can not increase the actual data store

  

  

  Am I missing something?

  Hi there James and welcome to the forums.

  Unfortunately you will not like my answer but can still

  If you look at your second screenshot, you will notice that there is another partition on this 'device' - a 4 GB FAT32 partition. This will be served when you created the data store VMFS5 on this unit you would have been asked a question to see if "free use of space" or "use all available partitions. It would be I think the choice was 'space free use '. What this meant was that the existing partition format would have been kept was that due to the FAT32 partition MBR.

  When the VMFS5 data store was created he could not convert the format of partition a GPT device that allows for the storage of data greater than 2 TB in size and is the reason why you can't currently develop it use the extra space.

  Solution: Move all the virtual machines in this data store, and then delete the data store and recreate ensuring "Use all available partitions" option is selected. Once completed, migrate virtual back machines.

  NOTE: This step is destructive, so make sure you have all the virtual machines on the data store, and anything else is stored before proceeding. This includes VMs that have been deleted inventory or ISOs stored.

  Hope this helps,

• Copy the ISO data store ESXi on VM

  Hello

  I'm quite new to virtualization and unable to understand the ways to copy the ISO file that is located on the data to a virtual computer store. Basically, I already installed ESXi and couple of Windows 2008 VM. Consider using one of this virtual machine as a server vCenter. Now, I have already downloaded from the VMware website and downloaded vCenter ISO to one of the data store.

  However, unable to work how can I copy the ISO to this virtual machine file so that I can install vCenter server? I have read a few things on the internet and tried to use WinSCP within the virtual machine using the IP host address, but I get "no connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.» the connection has failed. It is similarly after I activated the client FTP on ESXi host in the firewall. I am able to SSH (putty) to ESXi host with no problems.

  How can I get this to work? Y at - it a simple method that might work? Is WinSCP way to go? If so, why it wouldn't work? Note it is lab home environment and there is no other firewalls between the two.

  Thank you

  Please use it under VMware documentation pertaining to the same.

• Problem adding a data store ESXi 4.1

  Here is my configuration:

  Two hard drives in RAID 1 for ESXi (250GB)

  Four hard drives in RAID 5 for VMS (2.73 TB)

  I read that you can have a store more than 2 TB of data. What I want to do is keep the existing 5 RAID, create two LUNS and add them as two warehouses of data separate (I guess that's the best way to work around the limitation of size). It does not really matter to me whether two LUNS of equal size or if one 2 TB and the other is 730 GB, just what is easier, I guess. My problem is that I don't know how to create LUNS. I looked into the utility Configuration RAID Adaptec BIOS, but I can't do anything other than the basis of creation and deletion of tables. Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thank you.

  You will need to go through the documentation for the RAID controller. Many but not all will allow you to enter a virtual LUN table or terminology of the disks vary according to the manufacturer. If you do not have this option, you must create two RAID 1 volumes.

• Increase in size of data store ESXi after increasing the size of the LUN

  Hi all

  Scenario is as follows.

  Remote site with Dell r710 ESXi 4.1 servers 2, 1 Dell MD3200i SAN with 12 600 GB drives.

  Initially when I implemented the San, I created 2 LUNS with 1 TB in each LUN.

  Now, we ran into a situation where we have 1 server which is now need more than 1 TB of sapce on it.

  I've reconfigured the table and now have a unit number logic that I spent in 2 TB to 1 TB and I now need to increase the store of data on the ESX Server.

  If I increase the size he reformatted the LUN whole or just the free space that I create?

  I don't want to remove any exisitng s VM on the SAN.

  maximum size of a vmfs is 2 TB-512 b only. extend wouldn't format the LUNS. Look at this blog: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/26/resizing-your-vmfs-the-right-way-exploring-the-next-version-of-esxvcenter/

• How to move a virtual machine in the warehouses of data on ESXi 4.1.0

  All,

  I need to move a virtual machine from a data store to another on the same host.  I have two drive bays where each array disk is its data store on.  However, one of them has problems if I want to move two of the virtual machine to a data to another store.

  Is it possible through vsphere and if so, how?

  My host is a:

  Dell PowerEdge 2950

  vSphere Client Version 4.1.0

  VMware ESXi 4.1.0

  Hello

  1. turn off the virtual machine to be moved

  2. right click on the virtual machine, and then select Remove in the inventory (the fleeting VM on the data store)

  3. browse the data store, in the left pane, right-click on the folder of the virtual machine and select move to...

  4 browse the new data store, open the VM folder

  5. save the .vmx file

  6. start the virtual machine in the new location and make sure that it works.

• How to ensure the separation of data from different types of data for ESXi 4?

  Does anyone have a reference architecture to ensure the separation of the point of creating data in transit and storage of different types of dataexample PCI DSS data (personal credit card), data ITAR/EAR, etc.  Concern is due to the mix of data VLAN or crossed, VLAN themselves not to use as a security boundary.  VMware offers to ensure the separation at the application levelif I read it correctlywell in transit even in stockdata must be separated.  Suggestions?

  Hello VMwear8,

  The chances of anyone to play with the hypervisor itself is actually quite thin, what must be addressed is the data accessed in virtual machines. If you need protect administrators to access these data.

  Right now that is not possible to 100%, however you can restrict access by implementing different controls:

  (1) execute all access to your ESX hosts and vCenter via the HyTrust appliance, this is a preventive measure in some cases.

  (2) turn off the navigation data store in the vSphere Client (this is a RBAC vCenter)

  (3) turn off 'root' or superuser for each ESX host (except in a situation of "break the glass"). If they need access 'root' follow it via sudo.

  (4) add the audit in order to know who did what, when, where and how

  (5) protect your management tools as if they were gold. Check out this post performance and security management in the virtual environment tools as an aid to help with this.

  At most you can only put controls around the problem, we can not currently permanently prohibit access to one person give you access as being able to connect as root in the ESX host.

• How to speed up the transfer of files to and from data warehouses ESXi

  Hi people!

  Our company has a large number of

  VMware ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 servers. (Note: this is not the free ESXi, the)

  Paid ESX Server.) They generally work very well for us. The only area of

  problem I have is to transfer files to and from data warehouses on

  the machines.

  Because we do not have the ESX Server paid, I can't

  use vMotion or VirtualCenter to transfer virtual machines from one location

  to the other. So, if I need to move a virtual machine to a different host,

  the only solution I have is to download the VM

  files of the database on a local or network drive and then download

  paste them into the new data store, using the vSphere Client. The problem

  with this is that I found it is extremely slow. This may take

  hours just to copy a virtual machine.

  Does anyone know of one

  best way to do that would reduce the transfer time?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Use veeam fastscp 3.0 its freeware. You can connect n number of esxi server.

  You can move or copy directly from one server to another server...

• Navigation of data warehouses ESXi or manipulating files ESXi

  Hi all

  Quick question: with my hosts ESXi 4.1, I use the device of vCLI, vMA and PowerCLI to interact with guests on a daily basis.

  One thing I have not discovered how to is still browing storages of data as you do when you SSH to the host so that I can display and manipulate the vmx files, etc..

  Does anyone know if it's possible with, say VMA? I would like to know what are my options without activating Remote TSM.

  Thanks in advance,

• How to understand that ESXi has mounted a data store?

  Dear members,

  I am a new Bee with VMware.  When I click in the cluster of ESXi, I see nodes that are part of the cluster, but also see mounted on it data warehouses.

  How do I know which node is pwning the data store (or what node has a particular data store mounted?)?

  Thank you

  Actually, there is no owner. All data in ESXi stores are accessible by multiple hosts at the same time.

• Extend the data via vSphere Client store - error ' call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' object 'ha-datastore System' on ESXi 'IP' failed '.

  Hi @all,

  I want to thank my datastore on my 5.1 esxi.

  When you extend the data store on the vSphere Client Console, I get the error message:

  German: Call von 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' as Objekt "ha-datastoresystem" auf fehlgeschlagen ESXi 'IP' ist.

  English: Call 'HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreExtendOptions' to object "ha-store system data" in ESXi 'IP' failed

  Anyone an idea why I can't extend the data store? The new drive is correctly detected.

• Creation of VM in local ESXi datastore for the backup of the data SAN with VMXNet 3 VM store

  Hi all

  I would like to know how you have configured your server to backup as a virtual machine?

  My idea is to use the local data VMFS3 store on my 3 x ESXi servers,

  by installing the application of part 3 (such as Veeam Backup 5 or Backup Exec 2010) in Windows Server 2008 R2 VM

  equipped with size of very big hard drive (OS 8 GB + 1 TB VMDK data partition) on each of the local data store to save the computer virtual within the SAN.

  What I have:

  VMware vSphere essential 4 - ESXi 4.0 (not hot add)

  Dell Power Edge 2950 with 2.5 to multiple VMFS3 extended on top - RAID 5 (6 x 500 GB SATAII 7200 RPM)

  Reference Dell MD3000i iSCSI SAN on Gigabit Ethernet

  The configuration of the Windows Server 2008 R2 VM:

  2 x CPU @ 2.33 GHz

  4 GB OF RAM

  VMXNet3 NIC-> for better connectivity to the backup between the local data store ESXi and iSCSI-SAN data store.

  Here's the reason why I'm doing this is that:

  1. I don't have the additional NETWORK card to connect my physical server in iSCSI SAN THAT switch, so I can't use - SAN backup mode.

  2. I only use the available lowest VMware license that can't stand the Hot-add the device function.

  Would it be an optimal configuration?

  Any kind of help and suggestion to implement backup VM VM would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  AWT

  From what I see of you think to do, you will get no advantage of using the VMXNET3 NIC, compared using an e1000 NIC... All your traffic will be on the connections of 1 GB, because you're leaving SAN local disk... If you had the VM on the SAN, or the same storage, the VMXNET3 NIC were going at speeds of internal circulation (could get you better than 1 GB, but I advise to test before committing)...

  In addition, you will not be able to use a volume of OS 8 GB in Server 2008 R2... Bare minium is 32 GB (use plus 40 GB, which is that vSphere will use when you tell him to 2008 R2 for the operating system of the virtual machine)...
