Remove the inactive storage for vSphere

Hi all

I need to delete some idle of my installation of vSphere storage. I removed before storage, right-click on the storage and choosing Delete but I don't have this option either available, I guess because the storage is inactive.

There is no chance of this more active storage yet, but for administrative reasons, I want to remove it.

For the registration of all hosts are the ESXi.

Thanks for the pointers,

Dan

Hello

Usually, it is a model or an iso image on the store preventing his abduction.

Kind regards

  • Help to configure storage for vSphere 4

    Hi all

    I am designing the datstores for our new vSphere installation.  The virtual machine will be Windows servers with a default configuration of a logical drive C and D.  Some servers will have additional logical drives.  Some of the team think that it will be better to place the virtual disks for the C drive in a single VMFS volume, while placing the D virtual disk drive in another.

    Are there performance problems or advantages with this configuration, or is it better to store all of the virtual disks associated with a virtual machine in the same data store?

    If we divided the VMDK in different datstores could this affect pagaing if the pagefile is stored on the logical drive that D?

    Storage is a HP EVA 4400 with SAN disks (which is currently proposed to store the virtual disks of drive C) and a 1500 (SATA) MSA (currently proposed to store the virtual disks for drive D).

  • Output of storage for vSphere (devices + paths) adapters

    Hello

    I have a little problem ;(

    theire where many changes for vSphere.

    http://www.VMware.com/support/developer/VC-SDK/visdk400pubs/vsdk400behaviorchanges.html

    normally for 3.5, we saw a device like this: (raw + nonrawdisk)

    ESX 3.x: vmhba1:0:1

    While it was possible for me to make an exit for all LUNs in decimal, Ids which where zoned by the Admins of storage. (storage administrators have the Hex Code).

    We have a DR Solution including 2 warehouses where synchronized together.

    So I made a documentary to describe which 2 decimal Id which if synchronized

    but now I don't know how to handle the HostMultipathInfoLogicalUnit.id and HostMultipathInfoPath.name.

    It is not 100% clear to me ;(

    with 3.5, it was well arranged.

    I tried now make a new script and I am searching for rare items that I can't find in the SDK ;(

    theire has 2 tabs on the gui of storage adapters

    Paths:

    The Runtime name: vmhbaN:Cx:Tx:Lx

    Target: San identifier

    LUN: Decimal ID

    Status

    So what are entered in the GUI, multi-channel (paths) so I looked in [HostMultipathInfoPath].

    but I can't find this titles. only

    adapter

    dynamicProperty

    dynamicType

    isWorkingPath

    me?

    LUN

    name

    pathState

    State

    transport

    H

    for devices:

    (Name of drive Fibre Channel)

    The Runtime name: vmhbaN:Cx:Tx:Lx

    LUN: Decimal Lun Id

    Type: Disc Type

    Transport:

    Capacity:

    Owner:

    -


    Can someone knows how to query the "Runtime name, LUN ID dec.

    THX

    Max

    The key in ESX 4 object that shows the disposition of all LUNS, adapters, paths... is the object of HostPlugStoreTopology .

    With the keys that you will find in there, it is relatively easy to find other properties of the lun, devices, roads...

    As far as I know, the name of Runtime, you see in the vSphere client is not available in the format displayed in each of the objects.

    But it's pretty easy to dial in a script.

    In the following example script I list ID (or canonical name) and the name of Runtime for all 'disc' lun.

    $esxName = 
    
    $esx = Get-VMHost $esxName | Get-View
    $esx.Config.StorageDevice.ScsiLun | where {$_.LunType -eq "disk"} | %{
         $ScsiLun = $_
         $CanonicalName = $SCSIlun.CanonicalName
         $esx.Config.StorageDevice.PlugStoreTopology.Device | where{$_.Lun -eq $ScsiLun.Key} | %{
              $PSTdevice = $_
              $esx.Config.StorageDevice.PlugStoreTopology.Path | where {$_.Device -eq $PSTdevice.Key} | %{
                   $PSTpath = $_
                   $PSTadapter = $esx.Config.StorageDevice.PlugStoreTopology.Adapter | where{$_.Key -eq $PSTpath.Adapter}
                   $adapter = $esx.Config.StorageDevice.HostBusAdapter | where {$_.Key -eq $PSTadapter.adapter}
                   $hba = $adapter.Device
                   $channel = $PSTpath.ChannelNumber
                   $target = $PSTpath.TargetNumber
                   $lun = $PSTpath.LunNumber
                   $RuntimeName = $hba + ":C" + $channel + ":T" + $target + ":L" + $lun
                   Write-Host $CanonicalName $RuntimeName
              }
         }
    }
    

    It produces something like this

    Note that the decimal LUN id is in the name of runtime.

  • Question about the subscription renewal for vSphere lab Essentials home

    First post on the forum here.  My apologies if this isn't the right place for a question like this.

    I have a lab at home that I have set up using the "VMware vSphere 5 Kit Essentials" that I had bought on the VMware online store.  It was a pretty fun because it let me familiarize themselves with the technology that I use at work without the same consequences for the mistakes of the project.

    To be honest though, I have never much thought about support and subscriptions for it... Setup should really just have to learn and be the main server for my house projects.  The cost for me to buy the Kit of Essentials has been a little more than $500 a year ago, and it seems that my still currently active subscription (my account displays "subscription only" for the Essentials Kit) allows me to download the latest patches and maybe even upgrade to a new major version in the future.  I would like to continue the subscription, as this seems to be more profitable that leave on the subscription and then renew... compared to the initial $ 500, a one or three year renewal looks pretty good - and I'd get to continue to be on the latest versions of the vSphere Essentials.

    I thought it would be as simple as clicking on renew somewhere on my account, but that begins to not look like an option.  I think that I am driven to get in touch with a business partner for the subscription renewals (is this sounding right?).  This seems a bit much for me for a small laboratory at home like mine.  Is the only way to renew a subscription via a partner company?  If I'm completely off track here, please let me know.  If I'm here, does anyone know (or recommend) a partner company that manages small renewals as mine would be?

    Maybe I'm hesitant for nothing, but I thought I would ask those who understand the subscription and support better than me.

    Thank you very much for the help!

    Dan

    To answer my own question, I discovered that for users with contracts less than $3,000... is it possible to make a renewal online without the need to go through a partner.  It turns out that the link to the online renewal page is available through the 60, 30, 15 days notice in advance of the emails that are sent to the holder of the account (which is how I found it).  The page renewal me related to this FAQ PDF that I found useful.  I was able to successfully renew my subscription from the link.

    http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/myvmware/VMware-online-renewals-FAQs-en.PDF

    The important bits for me were the following (from the FAQ):

    ====

    Q: clients access renewals online from VMware.com or My VMware?

    A: access to the online renewal platform is by a "direct link" sent to clients through the electronic communication of renewal.

    Q: when VMware will send me the link of renewal online?

    R: the link for customers to renew online will appear on reminders e-mail sent 60-30-15 days prior to the expiration of the contract.

    Q: can customers renew all contracts renewal online?

    A: customers will be able to renew those contracts to a total value of less than $3,000 USD only. Customers will have the option of

    move to a higher level of service, or a longer term, as you wish.

  • How to remove the iscsi storage

    Hello

    In the test LAB, I have 2 ESX 3.5 (ESX-1 and ESX-2) attached to the same iSCSI storage called OPENFILER (they have all both local storage).

    1. I want to remove the OPENFILER ESX - 2 storage. Then, right-click on the storage and click on delete. It is said: the resource is in use.

    I tried to put the machine in maintenance mode. Did not help... I have to take it apart this machine?

    What is the right way to do it?

    2. I installed two virtual machines on my storage OPENFILER ESX-1.

    As I mentioned earlier the same storage connected to the ESX-2. When you browse OPENFILER I can see the machines on this (installed on the ESX - 1)

    How do these machine under ESX - 2 inventory. Must I do VMotion or Migration. Sorry came not at that point yet.

    So, before the question, I would like to know the answer to the question two.

    Thank you

    Michael.

    What is the right way to do it?

    Both an ESX 2 can see unit number logic used by the data store that it will be displayed in the list storage ESX-2 - the only way to remove it is that you will have to hide the LUN the openfiler or ESX - 2

    2. I installed two virtual machines on my storage OPENFILER ESX-1.

    As I mentioned earlier the same storage connected to the ESX-2. When you browse OPENFILER I can see the machines on this (installed on the ESX - 1)

    How do these machine under ESX - 2 inventory. Must I do VMotion or Migration. Sorry came not at that point yet.

    The question is you manage these two hosts with Virtual Center - if so you will not be able to have existing virtual machines on two hosts at the same time - in which case you will need to migrate virtual machines from one server ESX to another - with them off a Migration cold or with them under tension - a hot Migration also called VMotion that will require a SAN or a NAS/NFS - shared storage if you are don't not to help Virtual Center, you can save virtual machines using the browser to store data but the virtual machine can only be run on an ESX Server, both-

  • remove the automatic release for some specific associations

    Needs of the customers they do not want the automatic blocking of work for level 1 and level 2 organizations. Is there a way to delete some auto-release to make not the scheduled orders automatically for all the Articles of associations of individuals?

    (1) I prefer updated closing times communicated instead of the code of the Planner. When you remove the code from Planner, you take the ability of a planner to find its elements in the workbench.
    (2) If you get the message "manual has been updated", it means in general that you have some sort of data problems. Typically, this means that you have a trailing space somewhere in the data. If you have no time to solve the problems of data, here are workarounds.
    (a) use the interface point / api to update the RTF.
    (b) use the backend sql update (especially if you're in an instance of dev).

    Hope that answers your question,
