• Need to create a structure for the target data store?

  Hi Experts,

  If I create a structure for the target data store, and then load the data from source to target works fine. If I make mistakes.

  Is necessary to create a structure for target?

  Please help me...

  Thanks in advance.

  I found the answer. No need to create the structure for target temporary data store. and we need to create the structure for the permanent target data store.

• Expand the Local data store

  Hello

  I have an ESX 4.1 with only a data store local (RAID5) on virtual machines on a DELL Server

  I want to enlarge the data store, I don't have enough free space to create multiple virtual machines.

  To do:

  -Install a new hard drive (with vmware powered)

  -Add the new hardisk to Raid5 with DELL Open manage

  -wait finally extend raid 5

  -Power Off Vmware machines?  or continue started?

  -Develop with local Vshpere the data store vmware (what time must expand?)

  I want to know if I can do an extension with the new space unpartitioned on local existing datastore without losing my virtual machines? I have only the local data store with esxi when I develop the esxi continue to work?

  Can someone help me?

  Concerning

  Yes, it's quite OK.

  If this solved your problem, please mark it as answered.

• Clone the virtual machine to the local data store

  Hi all

  I'm looking to automate a task daily (or almost) of my friends with a small script with powercli.

  I'm trying to "backup" or to clone a virtual machine, I work in a storage of one of our servers.

  The servers are managed by a 5.1 vCenter and the machine is on a shared storage.

  From time to time, I clean, stop the machine, remove all snapshots and clone the virtual machine to one of the local server as a backup storage. So I put together a small script which almost works. It works as long as the target data store is a shared storage, but not with a local storage.

  I get always an error that claims it can not access the local data store and is not a permissions problem...

  Given that I can accomplish this via the customer without problem I thought it is possible via powercli too, or I'm wrong?

  My Script up to now:

  # Variables
  $VC = "vc.domain.com" #vCenter Server
  $User = "domain\user" #User
  $Pass = 'test123' #User PW
  $VMName = 'scripttest' #VM
  $BackupSuffix = "backup" #Suffix to add the name of VM to mark this as a backup
  $VmHost = "esx2.domain.com".
  $Datastore = 'ESX2-LocalData' #Datastore
  $BackupFolder = 'Backup' #Folder the VM gets classified

  
  

  # Register cmdlets to VMware
  

  If (-not (Get-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core - ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {}

  Add-PSSnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core

  }

  SE connect-ViServer $VC - user $User-password $Pass

  }

  }

  BTW, the clone step can be replaced by the New-VM cmdlet with the setting of the virtual machine.

• After the migration of ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 Update 1, ESXi containing the missing data store

  I intend to upgrade to an ESXi 4.1 production host, but I want to run through an upgrade of test on a separate machine. I created this using a virtual machine and the upgrade went well. However, now when I insert my vSphere client, I don't see the data store that contains data to my VM.

  Before migrating to 5, I had 2 drives, a disk of 4 GB for ESXi, and a 40 GB drive for the data of the VM installation. I could see and access times stores via the 4.1 vSphere client, but once the upgrade only the VM data store is available. Is there a reason that this is the case?

  I've updated but has not changed the partitions of data store. I have selected to migrate and keep the VMFS store, which was VMFS-3. I also tried to add the store drive 4 GB with the customer data, but an error message: "the selected disk already has a vmfs data store or the host cannot perform a conversion of partition table.
  Select another disk.

  I found this article on error message: http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2000454 , but I never actually removed from the data store. With the help of the 5.0 ESXi update I can see the VMFS store on 4 GB drive, which should have about 3.2 GB of available disk space (the rest being used by the hypervisor).

  Recommended someone else try esxconfig-volume - the list, and then use the output to a mount (http://communities.vmware.com/message/1666168#1666168), but the list command had no output at all.

  I searched through the forums and Google but you saw nothing.

  ESXi 5 has a different architecture, and I think that the problem is the size of the disk (too small) and the partition of scratch required.

  Have a look here:

• How to create LUNS target the same data store?

  In vnx5100, we created two partitions (MON) to be shared separately with 2 VM machines for clustering

  The question here is, that I have assigned the size of the LUN to a new data storage. And when I created ROW for a virtual machine, I had to choose the target LUN, but I wasn't able to see the unit number logic I'm looking for (the one that I have allocated for the storage of data, I created).

  The question here is:

  Why the logic unit number assigned to the storage is not displayed in the list?

  Do we need to create a LUN for the data store and a separate LUN target in Vsphere with the same size of the LUN in VNX?

  What is the target LUN in VMware (vsphere client)?

  Kind regards

  To a RDM and VMFS data store, you must create/submit two LUNS for ESXi hosts. What is stored on the VMFS data store is only the RDM mapping file (this will be created at the time wherever you add the raw LUN to a virtual machine), who shows up with the size of the RDM LUN, but requires no available disk space on the data (as a few bytes) store.

• Why is there not an option to print only the form data in Adobe XI?

  I created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and saved.  So I want to open it in Adobe Reader, fill it in and then print only the data from the form, but it is not an option to print only the form data in Adobe Reader XI.  I don't know if it's in the way I created the form or something else.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  Adobe is a software company, unless you are a builder.

  Player cannot directly print the form data.

  The ability to print the form data only exist in Acrobat Professional and Acrobat Standard. To purchase the full product provides more bang for the buck.

• Filter on the Source data store

  Hello
  
  I am new to ODI. My source and target are the two Oracle. I have a table in the Source that has 10000 files. I Reversed engineer the source table and was able to view the data on the source data store. However, I want to filter the data on the source to send only rare recordings and not all 10000. I am writing a filter on the Data Source on a particular column store, but I still see all the records when I click Show data. Any suggestions?

  Arun,

  I don't think it's possible. You want to look at the filtered source data before loading to make sure that only correct data is loaded into the target.

  A little more complicated would be to create a temporary interface (interface yellow) by selecting the Sunopsis Memory engine than the target temporary table.
  And then right-click to display on this memory temporary table data.

• Good way to use the concurrent data store

  Hello

  I'm developing a multithreaded C++ application that uses the C++ of Berkeley DB Library.

  In my case, I have several databases that I composed in a wooded area. It is important for me to use an environment because I need control over the cachesize parameter.

  I don't need no guarantee of transaction and have for most of the readings, so I decided to use the "simultaneous database.

  I first pre-fill all databases with a number of entries (configuration single-threaded phase) and then work on it at the same time (for most readings, but also insertions and deletions).

  I tried all kinds of different configurations, but I can't work without specifying DB_THREAD as a flag of the environment.

  I don't want to because then access all handles is synchronized sequentially according to the documentation:

  "... Note that the activation of this indicator will serialize calls to DB using the handle between the threads. If

  simultaneous scaling is important for your application, we recommend handles separate for each thread opening

  (and do not specify this indicator), rather than share handles between threads. "

  (Berkeley DB QAnywhere C++)

  So I tried to open the environment with the following indicators:

  DB_CREATE | DB_PRIVATE | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_CDB

  All data in this environment handles are open only with the DB_CREATE flag.

  So, since my understanding this same basic access handles need to be synchronized, I opened separate handles foreach database for each thread (opening the handles is still single-threaded).

  In my first approach, I have only made use of the object of global environment. Which does not work and gives the following during operations error message:

  DB_LOCK-> lock_put: Lock is no longer valid

  So I thought, since the same handle global env is passed to all handles separate DB, it is perhaps a race condition critical on the handful of approx.

  So in my next test, I opened also handles separate EPS in each thread (and db handles owned each).

  That does not produce an error in db, but now it seems that each thread sees its own version of the databases (I call it stat early in the life of each thread and he sees all of the empty dbs).

  What is the right way to use the concurrent data store? Each thread should really open his own set of db handles? What about the number of open handles env?

  PS: Without specifying that the DB_PRIVATE flag seems to do the job, but for performance reasons, I want all operations to perform in the cache and do not specify product DB_PRIVATE average of several writes to the disk for my scenario.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  CD (simultaneous database) allows a single editor with multiple drives, access to the db at a given point in time.    The handle for the writer doesn't have to be shared with readers.   If you share the DB handle then calls are synchronized, but if each thread has its own handle DB then this is not the case.     Since you have an environment, DB_THREAD must be at the level of the environment.   This will allow the sharing of the environment handle.     This type of error "DB_LOCK-> lock_put: Lock is no longer valid" you can provide us your code so we can take a look.   Also what BDB version are you using?

• Move-VM error: VM must be managed by the same VI servers as the destination data store

  I work with 2 ESXi servers and a single vCenter server with vSphere 6.0 Update 1 b; and PowerCLI 6.0 Release 2

  I have an a datacenter, cluster, vCenter and a vDS.  I need to pass the vCenter data store to another and get the error message:

  "Move-VM VM you are moving should be handled by the same server of VI as the destination container and the data store.

  Code looks like the following:

  $vctObj = to connect-viserver $vctIPaddress

  $esx1Obj = to connect-viserver $esx1IPaddress

  $esx2Obj = to connect-viserver $esx2IPaddress

  $vmObj = get-vm-name $vmname - Server $vctObj

  $destDSobj = get-datastore-name $destDSname

  Move-vm - vm $vmObj Datastore - $destDSobj - 'End' DiskStorageFormat

  I can migrate successfully from the virtual machine to vCenter data store through the VI Client, but PowerCLI left me speechless.

• Disk groups are not visible cluster. vSAN datastore exists. 2 guests (on 8) cluster do not see the vSAN data store. Their storage is not recognized.

  http://i.imgur.com/pqAXtFl.PNG

  http://i.imgur.com/BnztaDD.PNG

  Do not know how even tear it down and rebuild it if the disk groups are not visible. The discs are in good health on each host storage adapters.

  Currently the latest version of vCenter 5.5. Hosts running 5.5 build 2068190

  Just built. Happy to demolish and rebuild. Just do not know why it is not visible on the two hosts and the disk groups are only recognized 3 guests when more are contributing. Also strange that I can't get the disk groups to fill in vCenter. I tried two different browsers (chrome and IE).

  I have now works.

  All the identical 5.5 relies on ESXi hosts. All hosts are homogeneous CPU/sum of the prospects for disk controller / installed RAM/storage.

  I have work. I had to manually destroy all traces of the vSAN on each single to help host node:

  (1) put the hosts in maintenance mode and remove the cluster. I was unable to disable vSAN in the cluster, I made on each node host (manually via the CLI below) then disconnected web client vCenter and return to finally refresh the ability to disable on the cluster.

  esxcli vsan cluster get - to check the status of each host.

  esxcli vsan cluster drop - the vSAN cluster host.

  storage of vsan esxcli list - view records in the individual host group

  esxcli vsan storage remove-d naa.id_of_magnetic_disks_here - to remove each of the disks in the disk group (you can ignore this using the following command to remove the SSD only falling each disc in this host group).

  esxcli vsan storage remove s naa.id_of_solid_state_disks_here - this is the SSD and all the magnetic disks in a given disk group.

  After that, I was able to manually add hosts to the cluster, leave maintenance mode and configure the disk groups. Aggregated data of the vSAN data store is correct now, and everything is functional.

  Another question for those of you who still read... How to configure such as the VM storage strategy that migrates towards (or inspired) the vSAN data store will immediately resume the default storage policy, I built for VSANs?

  Thanks for anyone who has followed.

• 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.

  

• Cloning of VM/TIME to the different data store

  Hi all

  I am working out scripts excellent clone of Ruben garcia and one thing I'm trying to add is to have the VAPP created on a different data store.

  # Clone and move virtual machines
  {foreach ($vm to $vms)
  $vm = $vm | Get-opinion
  $vmname = $cloneName + "»" + $vm.name "
  . \LcloneVM $vm.name - cloneName '$vmname' - «$PortGroup» PortGroup
  Get-vm-name $vmname | Move-vm-destination $vapp;
  The virtual machine are getting cloned and then inserted in the passed TIME as a parameter name, but I can't understand how do to have the VAPP will be created on a data store that I specify. At this time the vApp is created on the same data store where the linked clones. Can I travel after from the user interface by using the migrate command but I want if possible to automate it.
  I thought that the next line should work but the VAPP fails when creating, so the move-vm command fails later.
  # Create VAPP

  $vapp = $host_name | VAPP-new-name "$cloneName" - data store "ThinDiskTesting"

  I am at a loss to what im doing wrong

  Post edited by: BrianRTS - difficulty of setting in the form

  You can specify the data store where you want to create linked clone delta files.

  This requires a slight modification to the script of Ruben

  # Generate specs for clone
  $cloneSpec = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec $cloneSpec.Snapshot = $sourceVM.Snapshot.CurrentSnapshot $cloneSpec.Location = new-object Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec $cloneSpec.Location.DiskMoveType = [Vmware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateDiskMoveOptions]::createNewChildDiskBacking $cloneSpec.Location.Datastore = (Get-Datastore -Name $tgtDatastoreName).ExtensionData.MoRef
  

  Ownership of the data store is used to indicate where the clone should be placed.

  Or you want to create the clones, then move them?

• Can I delete the local data store on esx 3.5?

  I have a client with vmware ESX 3.5 no esxi

  They have a local data store but it is formatted with a block size of 1 MB, so I can put only a 256 GB VM out there and I need to put a test VM with a larger size.

  I know that in ESXi 4 you can simply delete the local data store and create a new, but I'm not familiar with ESX 3.5, are there hidden files on the data store that the server uses?  If I search for the store there's nothing in there.

  Thank you

  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  You can simply reformat your data store. Take a look at the following article:

  • http://userssuck.com/2007/07/12/how-to-change-the-blocksize-of-a-VMFS-filesystem/

  Of course, you must back up and delete any data you have on this data store before the format operation.

  Good luck!

• Specify the destination data store

  Can someone tell me how to specify the destinaion for a conversion job data store.  For now, it is to choose a (seemingly random) default data store based on the host (also a seemingly random choice by default).

  I can't find anything on a data store in the definition of the target.

  Thank you

  William

  Hello

  First of all to respond to the selection of the host.

  If you are targeting a VC and your VM need to be deployed on specific ESX you must set the property 'host' to 'ConverterTargetVmSpecManagedVmLocation '.

  Host property is ManagedObjecReference to "HostSystem" (see Ref. guide). Thus, the code should look like similar to (java):

  ConverterTargetVmSpecManagedVmLocation targetVMLocation = new ConverterTargetVmSpecManagedVmLocation();

  ........

  ManagedObjectReference targetESX = new ManagedObjectReference();
  targetESX.setType ("HostSystem");
  targetESX.set_value("host-93"); can get real value through the VC API

  targetVMLocation.setHost (targetESX);

  To answer the second question - for selection of storage.

  If you want to select certain data for the target VM store when managed destination is used you must set the property 'vmxDatastoreName' of the data object 'ConverterStorageParams' (it is property of ConverterCloningParams, which is prop from ConverterConversionParams, which are the pillar of the ConversionJobSpec).

  If you want virtual disks virtual (file hard) machine is stored in different data store of VMX data store, you must set property 'datastoreName' of the data object ConverterStorageParamsManagedTargetDiskParams (which need to be addressed for the post of pillar of object 'ConverterStorageParams')

  I hope this helps.
