• Need help with a Citadel of DIAdem data store opening.

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone can help me to connect to a Citadel of DIAdem data store. I've read all the online help and cannot operate.

  On my PC, I use DIAdem v11.1 and v6.1 Lookout installed as a plugin. I am trying to connect to a data of Citadel store 5 on a server visible in the image below, specifically the default database on HPSERVER1. The installation of MAX on HPSERVER1 tells me that there are 2 versions of LabVIEW Run-Time installed, 8.2.1 and 9.0.1 (I don't know if this is relevant).

  

  When I select \\hpserver1\default_database, I then set the properties as follows:

  

  In the Advanced section, I'm the deadline set to 90 seconds. When I hit OK, then I get the following message, which then brings back me to the previous screen.

  

  Any help is very appreciated,

  Hi David,

  6.2 Lookout CLIENT is for people who do not have installed Lookout but still want to connect to a database of Citadel with DIAdem.  This works for databases Citadel created by Lookout as long as those created by LabVIEW DCS, is said by the way.

  In your case, you have already installed Lookout, you don't need this additional client software.  There is no improvement in functionality in this interface between 6.1 and 6.2, so you do not miss anything, and youre data import is already working.

  I don't know about lookout not appearing is not in the License Manager, etc.  I'm sorry.

• Please help: measure is missing from the data store

  Hello

  I have an a 20 TB drive data store and a magnitude of about 40 TB (local disks, areca raid controller).

  Long story short, I had to delete and re-create the volume 40 to on the RAID controller (without initialization, of course).

  Now all the data is there but eui has changed for the 40 to volume and vmware is unable to mount.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you!

  Hello
  You asked for instructions on how to readd a missing measure.
  Basically, it's pretty easy:
  in the VMFS to VMFS-based volume header section, you can assign extends it.
  Lets say that the basic volume is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T3:L0:1
  first of all extend is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T4:L0:1
  second extension is mpx.vmhba1:C0:T5:L0:1
  Then you will see this string in the VMFS header:
  vmhba1:3:0
  and a little later

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T3:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T4:l0:1

  MPX.vmhba1:C0:T5:l0:1
  Just change the list of stretches.
  But: normally you can't change this section at all, and to add to the confusion, these values are stored in RAM is not trivial to change this value correctly.
  I highly recommend that instead of try it yourself and repeat all the mistakes I made while learning it - call me.
  I rather help you personally to give dangerous advice that will probably make things worse.

• VMs of MAX in a data store: vsphere 5.5 (HA not configured.)

  Hi all

  I have a 5.1 vcenter where HA is not configured. I want to know what is the number max of vms in a data store (Powered on and powered at the same time).

  As this vcenter is no less with HA, does by default no that is 2048 as by maximum vsphere will be the same or not.

  in vmware drivers maximum, I found below.

  Config files on your virtual computer by the data store in a cluster HA: 2048 (without HA which is no?)

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Maximum limit of 2048 VMs running also apply to the VMFS5 file system.

  For turning off VMs, I think you can take numbers vCenter and cluster up to 15000 registered VMs and VMs 4000 clustered...

• Help adding extensions to a VMFS data store

  Hello people,

  I am working on some automation for creation of data store and must be able to add extensions to a data store.  The initial creation of data store works well enough at this point, but I'm a little puzzled about how to add additional extensions.  In my example, I am using the navi cli to make the LUN UID off the coast of the Bay of EMC, then format it correctly for the canonical name the host for the creation of data store.

  I read a little about the extendvmfsdatastore here , but I am not able to separate the part "add the measure" of "questioning the existing data store and remove references to pass."  If someone has an extract whose orders must be performed and the text to pass to the .extendvmfsdatastore method, I'd be very happy.  I know measure in several data stores fall into disgrace with VMware, but I can't migrate 10TB data storage immediately.

  Thanks in advance!

• PowerCLI again migrate ESX host and new data store

  I have 250 VMs that need to migrate to a new cluster and newdatastores, however, I don't see where I can do both in the apowercli script. Does anyone have any suggestions?

• Script Help: VM-> data store Associations

  Hello world

  Our VM names usually end with a number (WEB1, WEB2, etc.) and our data store names also end in a number. For redundancy of the application, we use warehouses of data whose names ending with numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending in even numbers and data warehouses with names ending with odd numbers for the storage needed by VMs whose names ending with odd numbers. In the physical world, odd numbered data warehouses and the presenters are physically separated from those even.

  I tried to create a PowerCLI script to report incompatibilities (people make mistakes) so that I can know if any VM storage on the 'wrong' type of data store (same VM on odd storage or vice versa).

  I'm really green with PowerShell and PowerCLI and suspect that there is a way to use the Get - ViewType VirtualMachine view, but have failed so far.

  In my environment most VMs use more than one data store, so the script needs to check each store data used by each virtual computer for a mismatch and I want to run the report against my whole environment (a single VC server).

  If anyone knows something similar that has already been done or can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

  -Matt

  The attached script uses a regular expression to extract the number of the guestname and the datastorename.

  Then it uses the modulus of the division by 2 to check if it's a curious (1) or (0) number the same.

  When you compare these between the client and the data store, you will find differences.

• check the free space on the data store before making svmotion

  I'm trying to understand how to check free space on the data store until the proceeds of the svmotion.

  Example:

  -must first check that that sizeof (VMs to be moved) < sizeof (destination) - 50 GB before in terms of the

  -should leave a 50 GB buffer so that the script ends when all the VMS are moved from source data store or there are only 50 GB left on the source data store

  -must move VM to store data source to the destination data store 2 at a time, until the completion

  -must create a local log file, and then send this log file using the relay smtp server.

  I just started using powershell and have played with different things for about a week. I'm trying to understand this problem, anyone has advice or suggestions for me?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

• Increase the data store w / measure

  Hi all -

  It seems that there is no way to add a point to a data store w / PowerCLI.  I found this one do w / API using ExtendVmfsDatastore, and I know that the API can be exposed in PowerCLI.  The problem is, I don't know how to do it!

  Can anyone share an example showing how to add a LUN iSCSI as a measure to an existing data store?

• Migration of virtual machines from a data store, and then delete the data store?

  Hello

  I have a future deployment this month and my Director wants to build a new RAID 6 array, create a store of data with the new table and then move all the VMS to the newly created data store.

  Then he asked me to take the old data store and remove it and the available space between the deleted data store and other stores of data in our shared environment. The question is when the new raid is created and vm has migrated to the new data store, which is the best way to remove the data store empty and make sure that the space available for other data stores? Any help would be appreciated...

  Greg ~.

  If all controls are met, you can go ahead and take it apart without any problem.

  I have re-iterate below checks:

  -No virtual machine is in the data store

  -The data store is not part of the cluster data store

  -The data store is not managed by the DRS storage

  -IGCS is disabled for this data store

  -The data store is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.

  Especially highlighted 2 controls. Please note that SIOC can be enabled on the data without SDR photo store

• Performance of SSD data store

  I'd like to get some info on whether or not there are specific settings ESXi for best performance of VMs, sitting on a SSD data store.

  Configuration of the laboratory:

  LSI 9260-8i RAID card

  8 x 500 GB Samsung 830 SSDs (TLC, terrible I know), RAID5 (Yes, I must have parity protection)

  I've constantly tweaked the 9260 and RAID settings to achieve the best possible configuration according to my bearings: 128 KB stripe size, direct IO, reading ahead, disk cache enabled, rewrite with BBU...

  I see that a fairly large performance hit comparison performance native RAID performance vs windows in ESXi when I transplant the same RAID card/SSD in my lab and test ESXi host from inside a virtual machine.  Understood, it is fresh generals of the hypervisor and then overload the virtual machine... but still...

  Looking for someone who has experience with a similar configuration and can provide suggestions/settings...

  Thanks in advance!

  You have option FastPath? This will significantly improve i/o for SSD performance.

  I would also create RAID-50 for the SSD 8.

• Cannot add a new data store

  Let me preface this post by saying that I am an extreme noob to VMWare... Have only used MS HyperV in the past but looking to oust most of my hardware with VMWare on the recommendation of a colleague.

  On the problem.

  I have a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with 32 GB of RAM and 8 TB of disk space.

  I installed ESXi yesterday and you can see my original data store, called "datastore1", which is only 325 GB.

  I try to add a new data store, but when I go to 'Add storage' in vSphere, select ' disk/LUN", the list is empty.

  I know I'm missing something, but don't know where to look.  What should I do to add a new datasore and subsequently more storage to my VMWare environment?

  DRM for all help!

  To add a data store storage must be allocated to the vSphere server.  There is also a size limit of 2 TB less 512 bytes per LUN for a vSphere.   Try a few small LUN and see if they appear as available when you add a data store.   I have included a link pdf maximum configuration for vSphere 4.1

• local storage in the data store

  I have 4 ESXi 5.5 cluster nodes (host1, 2... 5) + 3par storage, I noticed that the local drive of host2 is detected as a data store.

  When I create a VM and I choose the data store, I can see all data related to my on3par LUN stores but it seems this drive local host2 too!

  I would like to remove it! Can you offer me please?

  You must hide hide this data store using permissions, you must run the following procedure: Open-> inventory-> warehouses vSphere-> select the select data-> permissions VMFS store-> click the user or group in the list and set them to 'No access' - are not propagated.

  Once achieve you its judgment showing everywhere.
