Recovery of space on DellEqulogic SAN

Trying to reclaim space on my SAN and runnign the VMKFSTOOLS command and not having a chance.  I'm going by KB 2014849 and the syntax seems simple, but not luck.

I go to the Volume which is having the right question and run the following command, VMKFSTOOLS y 60

It returns the message cannot retrieve the params for 60.

Here's the command/vmfs/volumes/52483e89-cdd6959c-e9e2-d4ae52a2f118 # vmkfstools y 60

I'm doing something wrong?  Any help is appreciated

You are runnning vSphere ESXi 5.5? If so, the vmkfstools y command is obsolete and has been replaced by the esxcli storage vmfs mapping undo.

  • Space in use SAN HQ alert 4.2 on volume

    I've recently been reconfiguration of EQL (1 PS6100, 1 PS4000) customers.  As part of the cleaning and modernization of the former ESXi environment, virtual machines were vMotioned storage of 4000 to 6100 and the4000 reset, reconfigured and added to the 'new' group began with the PS6100.

    The PS6100 is RAID10 and in its own pool of storage, the PS4000 RAID6 and in its own pool of storage.  The PS6100 has a single TB 5.5 thin provisioned volume (total available is 5.75 to), the reconfigured PS4000 has a single 4TB thin volume (total available East of 5.66 to).

    About halfway through to storage quick vMotioning of PS4000 to PS6100 VMS, SANHQ began reports 4.2 warnings of space on the volume of same PS61000 if running in Workgroup Manager of space in use for the volume and the pool was only about 2 TB with him remains marked free.  Once the PS4000 has been revamped and its created volume and about 1.1 to migrate back, this volume has begun to take a 4.2 errors as well.

    SanHQ reports 4.2 errors, the two volumes now that more than 99% complete, even if the Group Manager shows as much less complete volumes - the PS6100 is about 70% full, the PS4000 only 30% full (volume, pool is only 20% full).

    My understanding of thin volumes with VMware is that they grow only represented by how much space has been consumed by the upstream file system (for example, VMware VMFS) and "shrink" only if manually unmap you them (VMware) or run another operating system that automatically cancel the mapping.

    That being the case, none of my thin LUN EQL never showed more than 70 percent use of space (maximum) and some never more than 25% maximum, than even San HQ throws 4.2 errors.   Why?

    Hello

    It is a known issue with SANHQ v3.1.   The next version should exit this month this will resolve this error.  There are several other threads here discuss this issue.  For now, turn off the alerts is best work around.

  • ESX brings more free space than does SAN

    I have a student who has an ISCSI SAN Dell EqualLogic PS400E and ESX 3.5i servers using VMware software initiator. They observed that formatted with the VMFS LUNS show different amounts of free space if you view ESX or SAN. The SAN of reports more LUNS are low on space but ESX reports that there is a good bit of free space on the data store. The variation of the reports may be as much as 50 GB.

    Anyone got any ideas on why this can happen and that they should look to reconcile the differences?

    You can find an old thread on this argument.

    It's true: Equallogic indicate less space than ESX, but the reason is simple...

    EqualLogic can't VMFS and how it works.

    Know only the block marked as used (which may be free or unused in VMFS).

  • Is the system restore wiped XP Recovery disk space?

    I definitely OE deleted messages, and then wipe the hard drive.  I need to do a restore of the system because of an annoying popup Windows start happened after deleting some files after you uninstall an HP printer.  A system restore will cancel the changes on the hard disk, allowing thus the recovery of these messages permanently deleted using Recuva or another program recovery?  That I don't want to happen as I am to get rid of the computer (I bought a new).

    If you you debarrassez of your PC anyway, why not simply wipe the hard drive with a program of format-based security (Google can help)? Even if the system restore does not return emails, there is still a lot of information on this computer, so that you can not someone else access using a different type of deleted file recovery program. Never made a purchase online? Access your bank account? May make changes to your social security account or 401k? It's all there somewhere.

    If this a brand like HP or Dell PC, you should have a recovery or disk partition which will allow you to restore the first day.  Which will be enough to thwart the average snooper a little better than average.
    If it's not, and you have the OS disk, you can wipe it off yourself and do a clean install.

  • Recovery of space on thin provisioning vmdk

    Hello

    I've been running sdelete x:\ - c and vmdk migration between different LUN but have not managed to regain space lost in return.  I also tried the-i disk.vmdk d vmkfstools command thin newdisk.vmdk within the console and still have no luck with it.  Is there a more effective way of zeroing on the unused sapce rather the 2 methods mentioned?

    Thank you.

    Sounds like it may be the cause of FS3DM that is described here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2004155

  • deletion of snapshot and recovery of space

    I am running VMware Fusion on a Mac Book Pro/Snowleopard.  I initially install a 20 GB partition.  Over the past three years, I took 6 shots and I use now 69 GB.  I want to delete some shots, but I want to be sure that I won't spoil all my data on Windows XP.

    Can anyone give me a suggestion on the question of whether I should remove the last snapshot first or start from the first.  I'm guessing this will consolidate back to my original VM.

    I also want to make sure I can get the 40 GB of space.

    Thanks for the help in advance.

    Without explaining in detail why, however I have already said the best way to go about it and the route that I am proposing is the best way if or not you free up space on the internal disk and create the new destinationDisk.vmdk on it or on the external hard drive this route and the methodology and the reasons to go this route are infinitely better that you try to free up space to delete all snapshots You seem however you mind going about it you are somewhere else, so by all means, do it you are average.

    If you go about it your way then you will need the first backup of the Virtual Machine, so in the event that a problem occurs when deleting snapshots, which can and is happening, you have a way to recover.  generally speaking with monolithicSparse hard you will release no less then max the hard little more of extra space for aerial work, an addition size a few extra GB should cover.

    In your present circumstances my way is much faster and also safer, then remove it snapshot method because it does not require first backup the source since it will access in a read-only manner and the resultant hard will read the source and write the destination in a single cycle, unlike the snapshot method remove requiring reading and writing for each snapshot.  In addition, the new destinationDisk.vmdk can be made a splitSparse in the same operation that will be better in the future that you are running low on space you need only 2 GB more an extra pocket space for overhead operational to delete snapshots in case they get to immediately as the current situation you are in.

    In any case, it's your choice the previously linked document covers the joke of the method, I proposed and the am did try to help.  Sorry but when someone whats to go about it in an ignorant way vs the smart way, I can't continue to waste my time.

  • Recovery of space in OLAP 11.1.0.7

    Hello
    I tried to understand how the OLAP cube loads consume space and how can we free up space used by OLAP AW objects in DB version 11.1.0.7. I have the following questions.

    1 during the loading process of a large number of data tablespace is apparently is used as TEMP, I note that the data space is consumed while a generation of cube is underway, but free in the tablespace space increases once the charging.
    2. it is very difficult to reclaim the space used by an AW. I tried to remove the cubes, but it does not work. The only way I understood is to drop and re-create the full AW using the xmls. Is there a better way?
    3 loads of incremental data sometimes take more space than the full loads. What is this means that old data is not deleted?

    Thanks in advance.

    One of the oddities of analytic workspaces is that a lot of versions or generations, can exist at the same time. It's very powerful, especially for the analysis of "what if?", but these generations take place. A special generation of AW will last as long as there is a customer in the appendix or if it is one of the last three generations. The following code can be used to eliminate some memory by forcing the creation of three new (small) generations. The AW in this case is GLOBAL, so you would need to adjust accordingly.

    set serverout on size unlimited
    GLOBAL > select round(sum(DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(AWLOB))/1024,0) kb from aw$global;
    
         KB
    ----------
        167699
    
    GLOBAL > declare
    2  aw_name varchar2(30);
    3  begin
    4   aw_name := 'GLOBAL';
    5   dbms_aw.execute('aw attach ' || aw_name || ' rwx;define junkvar int;update;commit');
    6   for i in 1..3 loop
    7     dbms_aw.execute('aw reattach ' || aw_name || ' rwx;junkvar=junkvar+1;update;commit');
    8   end loop;
    9   dbms_aw.execute('delete junkvar;update;commit;aw detach ' || aw_name || '');
    10 end;
    11 /
    
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    
    GLOBAL > select round(sum(DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(AWLOB))/1024,0) kb from aw$global;
    
         KB
    ----------
        147019
    

    Another useful trick is to call rebuild freepools. This is done automatically in 11.2, but you would need to do it yourself in 11.1.0.7.

    alter table aw$global modify lob (awlob) (rebuild freepools);
    

    Here's a quote from the Oracle documentation. Note that you should not run this if you use SECUREFICHIERS.

    The REBUILD FREEPOOLS clause deletes all the old data from the LOB column. This clause is only useful if return you to PCTVERSION to LOB data management. You can do this to manage older data blocks.

    Even after all this, there is always a table unadvoidable growth of $ AW. As a general rule, you can expect the table to increase three times its size after his original charge. It's mainly a side effect of the use of the LOBS to store the AW, given that LOB subsystem do not abandon the memory as soon as he got it.

    2. it is very difficult to reclaim the space used by an AW. I tried to remove the cubes, but it does not work. The only way I understood is to drop and re-create the full AW using the xmls. Is there a better way?

    This is a bug and has been discussed (and indeed discovered) in a recent thread: releasing storage occupied by Cube

    3 loads of incremental data sometimes take more space than the full loads. What is this means that old data is not deleted?

    Loads of additional data, or more precisely aggregations of inremental, take existing lists of the child nodes and extend them. This can lead to a similar to a fragmented hard disk fragmentation. After a full charge children lists will be stored together again. It is, either incidentally, why additional performance can degrade over time, and why a periodic complete aggregation can improve performance.

  • Recovery of space allocated to a table (tablespace)

    One of the tables in the database to prod had some app config related issue and started to gobble up the space like a T - Rex hungry!

    App support team have finally identified the problem and the abnormal growth is over. Now the task I have to do is reclaim the space that has been allocated to the tablespace, so that it can be used properly for the future growth of the database.

    Can you please advice on the best approach to the problem. One that I can think of is,
    1. ask downtime,
    2 export the tables in the tablespace.
    3 truncate all tables (so that HWM is reset)
    4 only import the back tables in the tablespace.

    Is there another way in 10g that will allow me to do it with little or no downtime?

    Reduction of table operation is an online order. Users can use the table while that shrinkage is held well less DML activity on the fastest table, that the command can deal with.

  • How a recovery of space on a LaCie external drive for an iMac?  This 1 TB drive says now "integral" and I need to reclaim space without loss of data.

    I have an IMac 3 - year, which was saved with a 1 to LaCie external drive, using Intego Backup Assistant.  Obviously I'm not successfully back up because I wasn't expecting this drive must be complete.  That said, how to fix the problem. ? I need to see the data that is on the disk and to eliminate duplication of work, and then I'll need to reform the backup process so that I have not fill up the drive.  I am not particularly adept at information technology, so more detail that can be provided, the better it is!

    What a pity that you have not started using Apple built-in Time Machine from the beginning. It deletes older backups as needed.

    That being said, the only way is to do it again. I'd get a new drive and copy what you absolutely need and wipe.

  • vSphere / space recover / SAN replication

    Hello

    In my business, we have two groups (Dell PS6100 EQL) SAN with replication configured on each volume of a group of SAN. Sometimes we move on recovery of space on a specific volume of SAN.

    To do this, I need to disable replication on that volume, I execute the recovery of space on a host ESX mapped and then I reconfigure replication that will create a new set of replicas (with a full copy of first).

    During this operation (depending on the size of the volume, a few hours), if something goes wrong on the volume of SAN, we lost VMS hosted on this volume, because the first line has not yet been created.

    I could keep the replica set before disabling the replication, but the target SAN does not take into account the new volume size... I also thought about the replica cloning before neutralizing him (and destroy) but it will take a lot of time...

    Someone at - it another idea to protect data when I proceed to a recovery of the space?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You are welcome.

    Re: Clone.  Yes, creation of the clone is very fast, no matter the size of the volume.

    Re: Clone replica.  Yes, it will remain if you remove the replica set.

    computer is send me message: you run lack of disk RECOVERY (D) space. To free space on this drive by deleting files unnecessary or old click here. I checked the date where the memory was put on the disk. It is 31/12/2010. I wasn't on the computer that day. How can I safely remove the memory?

    Your recovery partition D is implemented by the manufacturer of your computer in the event of serious problems in your system.
    You use it to restore your system.

    You're NOT supposed to touch it... not to add or remove anything from or to it.

    Have you been using the D drive for scheduled backups of file?
    If this is the case, you call the manufacturer of the computer, tell them the situation...

    1. ask for a set of recovery DVD to reinstall Vista, if you do not have a game made yourself.
    2. ask how to remove backup files or elements that are NOT supposed to be there.
    They created the recovery partition, they know how to take care of it.
