• Storage vmotion esxi 5.5 to 6.0 does not not for some vm

  In a test cluster with 2 nodes with no storage storage shared (local only), host vmotion 5.5 to 6.0 host does not work.

  before the upgrade, I moved all the vm to a host.

  Then I upgraded to 6.0 host and tried to move all the VMS to the host 6.0 updated (moving host + storage).

  20 VM, 5 have been moved to the new host.

  Everyone always get error below.

  The VM Client are all the vm version 10 (but some of them improved 8 or 9).

  ClientOS Windows 2008, 2012 r2 and linux. Some with vmx3, some with e1000.

  The machines can be moved when turned off.

  After the off-vmotion, storage vmotion from 6 to 5.5 and return of 5.5 to 6 works again.

  Any idea to solve this problem? Maybe it's a bug with vsphere 6.0

  Given that some machines were functioning and vmotion later in both directions from 6.0 to 5.5 works, I think that is no configuration error.

  Hello

  It seems that there could be a bug or that guests have difficulties to negotiate the transfer of drive on a network. VMotions storage are carried out via the management network (limitation of hard due to the codification)-are you sure that management networks are not overloaded or that they operate at the desired speed? This also happens with machines that have actually disabled followed block? It seems that this could be a problem.

  In addition, you use the 'old' client or Web client? It is possible that some features in vSphere 6.0 may have been omitted in the old thick client.

  Below are the errors:

• Storage vMotion

  virtual machines from one storage to another does that 2 simultaneous connections. If I understand well ESXi5,.0 should support up to 8 with 10 GB. Will be setup here to twist?

  Thank you

  The maximum Storage vMotion simultaneous operations by host is 2... You may think that the maximum number of vMotion (not Storage vMotion) which is really 8.

• Cannot Storage Vmotion between EMC Celerra NFS and NFS VNX

  Recently we have improved our infrastructure VMware 3.5 to 5.0. Managed to migrate all virtual machines to the Esxi5.0 without any problems. More recently, we bought new storage EMC VNX 5300, set up and configured the NFS storage for the early. All the warehouses of new data related to blades and all storage pools, old and new can be found under vCenter.

  Problem we have is that we can not Storage vMotion virtual machines of the old Celerra NFS for new NFS VNX stores. It comes back with the error "cannot access file VM VNX {datastore} filename '. We got a similar message appears when you try to create a new virtual machine or import an OVF on VNX new data warehouses.

  We have the license of the company, with Dell M600 blades with EMC storage as mentioned above.

  Pointers would be appreciated

  Kem

  Thanks for your contributions, but I solved it. A bit of a 'schoolboy error', but although I had added to the VMKernel IP in the host root and read-write in the NFS export properties, I also need to add the IP address of the hosts/blades. Storage vMotion successfully in new stores VNX. THX Kem

• Senza thanks storage VMotion

  Hello to all

  Premetto che he mio e uno scrupolo più una domanda che in quanto credo, unfortunately, gia di know the risposta :-D

  veniamo al therefore: sto valutando the della functional di senza thanks introdotta nella versione 5.1 storage vmotion use;

  He problema e che i 2 cluster hanno a level di VCA different (stessa Intel architecture), quindi mi viene da Winegardner che he processo di validazione fallirebbe, my non ho trovato nessun esplicito re questa limitazione nella doc ufficiale di questa characteristic specifica.

  The mia speranza, ops domanda e secondo voi e possibile quindi?

  Saluti

  Ciao,.

  is non ho capito male, 2 cluster hai con lo stesso tipo di CPU Intel, pero con configurati 2 livelli VCA different. Perch is the sound CPU all equal?

  The VM you want migrare che da a cluster all'altro, risiede su uno No thanks dai storage 2.

  Ad ogni modo migrazione non Può avvenire has accesa VM, che lo storage sia thanks o meno, in quanto nel passaggio VM TR troverebbe ad andare a run known una che could avere delle istruzioni o diverse functional CPU.

• script which gives the hostname with more CPU resources and memory available

  Hello

  Anyone have a script which gives the hostname with more CPU resources and memory available in the cluster?

  Concerning

  Vickie

  Hello, VicMware-

  You can get the host with the free CPU, or with the most free memory resources, using the following:

  ## get the host with the most free CPU cyclesGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="CpuMhzFree"; e={$_.CpuTotalMhz - $_.CpuUsageMhz}} | Sort-Object -Property CpuMhzFree -Descending | Select -First 1
  
  ## get the host with the most free memoryGet-Cluster myCluster0 | Get-VMHost | Select-Object Name,    @{n="MemGBFree"; e={$_.MemoryTotalGB - $_.MemoryUsageGB}} | Sort-Object -Property MemGBFree -Descending | Select -First 1
  

  The first would have produced something like:

  Name          CpuMhzFree
  ----          ----------
  myVMHost0          25384
  

  And the latter didn't would be out:

  Name           MemGBFree
  ----           ---------
  myVMHost4        122.323
  

  .. .or each of these host computers are those with the most free memory/CPU cluster, respectively.  What to do the things for which you are looking?

• Storage VMotion - a general error occurred: could not wait for the data.  Error bad0007.

  People,

  I searched through this forum and have not found an answer that works in many positions out there, I say to myself that I would ask him once again.

  Here's the context:

  We have 12 identical Dell M600 blades in 2 chassis with 16 GB of Ram, 2 x Xeon E5430, they are all connected to an Equallogic PS 5000XV iSCSI SAN on a separate iSCSI (vswitch1) with 2 cards network dedicated network and dedicated switch, console svc iscsi dedicated, dedicated VMkernel port for iscsi access. Net access (vswitch0) contains port groups VM for our various networks and a console port and vmkernel svc for VMotion with 2 separate NETWORK cards as well.

  We are running ESX 3.5 U3 and VCenter 2.5 U3 on Win2k3 R2

  VMotion works between all servers, Storage Vmotion works for most machines, HA works and the value 2 host failurs with no monitoring of vm, DRS is set to manual for now I have a few machines on the local stores that I complete my rebuilt LUN, there is no set of rules for DRS and VMware EVC is enabled for guests of the Intel. However, I'll just describe one machine to do svmotion below.

  Here's the problem:

  I'm trying to Svmotion via svmotion.pl - interactive, a Machine to Windows 2000 with a virtual disk and a virtual RDM. I am aware of the requirements for the RDM and required parameters for svmotion, independent is not selected for the RDM, and I also have svmotioned several machines linux and win2k3 with the same configuration without problem. In the interactive session, I choose to individually place the disks and I chose the virtual disk to only the virtual machine to be moved, essentially, as I saw it move vdisk virtual machine and then copy to the pointer of the RDM.

  The use of the processor in this machine is about 25% average. but I try to run migrations at the time the lowest. and The Host it itself shows only about 5.5 GB of the 16 GB of RAM used. so I think we're good on the RAM. the volume/datastore that I'm migrating from has 485 GB free and the volume/datastore I migration towards a 145 GB free. the VM virtual disk is only about 33 GB.

  I run the script the windows version of the RCLI svmotion. and when to begin the process, I get the following error at around 2 percent of the progress:

  "Since the server has encountered an error: a general error occurred: could not wait for the data."  Error bad0007. Invalid parameter. »

  After searching around, I found the following hotfixes to the U2 release notes

  • Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress: Set the value to 1.

  • Migrate.PageInProgress: The value 30, if you get an error even after the setting of the Migrate.PageInTimeoutResetOnProgress variable.

  I've made these changes, and I still get the same error.

  The vmkernel on out of memory error, I had that before. And vmware support recommends setting 800M Max service console memory. And I did it and have no problems after that.

  See if that helps the issue.

• Storage test 55 certification vmotion, storage vmotion fails with "Could not lock file" on the virtual machine during storage vmotion

  In my view, that it is a known problem in ESXi 5.5 Update 2 release notes, someone knows a solution yet? This is an excerpt from the release notes:

  • Attempts to perform live storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail
    Storage vMotion of virtual machines with RDM disks can fail and virtual machines can be considered in turned off of the State. Attempts to turn on the virtual machine fails with the following error:

    Workaround: No.

  VMware support for the record said that the patch will update 3, it is known as an intermittent problem. Finally, it happened to me on the 9th attempt.

• Please explain SVmotion (Storage Vmotion) and DRS for storage in simple words

  Friends,

  I little confusing... could you please contact Storage vmotion and DRS for storage in simple words and the important points to remember in this regard...

  Kind regards

  Sirot

  9884106697

  Storage DRS is a feature that you allow warehouses of data aggregated on a single object (cluster) and recommend the implementation of disks in virtual machine based on the performance of the store of data and the available space on the data store.

  The DRS storage uses Storage vMotion to migrate virtual (online) computers from a data store to another to balance data store performance and space.

  You can use Storage vMotion without storage DRS too, moving virtual machine between clusters of DRS storage and warehouses of data even from the local level to the data store shared.

• vDR 2.0 on ESXi 4.1u1 - could not create the snapshot (cannot disable Storage VMotion)

• Storage vMotion possible with ESXi Std Edt or not?

  Hi all

  We have two implementations of VMware with ESXi Standard edition licenses installed on the two site. A site has vCenter Server Foundation edition while the other has vCenter Server Standard Edition.

  The problem is that the site with vCenter Std and vSphere 5 Std doenst allow storage vMotion (see image below)

  

  While, on the other hand, site 5 Stnd vSphere with vCenter Foundation allows storage Vmotion (see image below)

  

  How is it so that vSphere Stndard this edtion of different characteristics in different places?

  I had recorded the call and found the solution... VSphere 5.0 and 5.1 gives really different set of features with the same Std license vSphere.   Take a look at the link for options available with vSphere 5.0 and 51 below.

  1 compare vSphere 5.0 editions

  Compare the editions of vSphere VMware for Cloud Computing, server and data center virtualization

  VSphere editions 2 - compare 5.1

  Compare VMware vSphere editions: managed Virtualization & amp; Cloud Computing

  For a test, I used the same Standard edition server with 5.1 key to it has worked well with Storage vMotion Option available :-)

• Can not put on the virtual computer after Storage VMotion

  I use the snap for the customer VI do some storage vmotion, where I can best use our space on our tables. I have a particular virtual machine that I transferred autour storage that has a total of 3 VMDK, all on separate LUNS. As soon as I moved them all in the right place, where I wanted them, I can't turn on the virtual machine because it says there is no space available on the device. I am trying to boot the machine with 4 GB of memory, the boot LUN more than 400 GB free on it. The other two LUNS have 225 MB, and 192 MB of free space. I can only start the machine if I change the memory of 192 MB or less. I know that problems with the file exchange and memory overhead, but this virtual machine has always run with these two LUNS with very little space. I can only assume it is somehow related to the storage vmotion. The pagefile is set to store the virtual machine and I'm still having the problem. Need help.

  Storage vmotion the VMX file of the LUN with more space (easier) or add manually a config parameter (settings, Options, general, settings) sched.swap.dir = / vmfs/volumes/DS/Machine

  (where DS and Machine related to your environment).

• storage vmotion 4 1 TB vmdk to a new data store 4TB on 5.5

  All,

  Benefit in performance if the 4 storage vmotion VMDK located on 4 separate data warehouses in a newly created 4TB data store. with 5.5 capacity 62, I was hoping that someone could tell me.

  I appreciate it

  Well well, the response - as before - is "it depends...". ».

  If you want to use a large drive or multiple small disks depends on the structure of data. If you can not divide the data into departments for example, projects, home/profile,... you can be better with a single large disk. Don't forget to use a GPT partition table, and you need to check if for example your backup software can handle that. Some image/VM based backup applications can backup and restore virtual drives very well, but do not have the ability to file level restore! Also don't forget that - disaster - restoration such a large virtual disk will take a significant amount of time during which data is not available for users. If the data structure allows to distribute to several virtual disks (you can always use DFS to present the data through a single share), I prefer this over the large virtual disk. With the smallest disks virtual, you will certainly have to watch each of them for free disk space, but you can increase the size of disk individually and restoration of a single virtual disk can be done much more quickly (with other discs still online / available to users).

• Storage vmotion, between data warehouses when the block size is different

  Hi all

  I would like to know, is it possible to do a vmotion of storage between two data warehouses, when they have different block sizes. The case is as a former vmfs data store 3 which has been upgraded direct to vmfs5 there, but since it has been updated it maintains its own block size. While the newly created vmfs datastore 5 a block size of 1 MB.

  Thus, storage Vmotion will work in this case? It will fail OR will be with degraded performance?

  Finally, storage vmotion is possible even if you do not have a cluster DRS for storage?

  Thank you

  Yes you can!

  Check some info on the effects of block size: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/02/18/blocksize-impact/
