Remove the virtual SAN HP P4000 VSA

Hello

We have 2 Dell poweredge 2950 host running vpshere 4.0 and we have virtualized internal storage of these Dell using P4000 VSA happening as a virtual machine on each host. Our virual servers use this storage.

Recently, we introduced NetApp FAS2020 on our network and we move all the virtual servers for the netapp.

My question is "what is the best way to remove theP4000 VSA Vsphere? (I don't want leave no trace). We don't have support with HP and could not find much information on the web.

I've attached screenshots of the console management VSA and vsphere.

Azalarab

Hello.

These are just virtual machines that use the local VMFS storage on servers, so to get rid of them first to power them off.  Then right-click on them and choose "Delete from Disk.  This will permanently delete.

Good luck!

  • Remove the virtual & carrots casings by socket

    Dear Experts,

    I need to know is safe reduce the virtual number of sockets and the number of cores per socket for a virtual machine running that Win 2008 R2 64-bit? Version 5.0 Update 2 vSphere, I found that more resources is communicated to the VM and in fact not necessary. I need to understand that I will experience no problem tipping.

    The same above question for Windows 2003 R2 64 bit, how it behaves?

    Thank you

    Hi guy,

    Add HOT allows only you add CPU and memory when running, but to remove the socket or cores you have to turn off the virtual machine and then do it. There is no other way to remove the CPU of the virtual machine.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Removing the virtual HARD drive / Datastore

    Hello

    Noob from VMware, which has inherited a system of perconfigured here-

    System = vCenter Server 4.0

    I have a datasotre that is down and which contains a couple of virtual hard disks associated with virtual windows servers. Are not readers of operating system on servers, but they are readers previously configured windows backup (backup of the Server 2008 and 2003).

    "Therefore, the servers went offline and when I try to start the server I get a message saying"virtual disk"drive hard n is not accessible on the host:

    Because virtual servers are powered off can I just remove the drive through the settings or Windows OS to complain that a disk is missing and if yes is there a way round this?

    The data store was a store NFS running on an old box of linux which is dead completely and can not be recovered, if I need too know how tell - associate this store from the servers.

    Thakns to help you

    Kipster

    Hello

    Hello from the Canada

    Yes, you can simply delete the virtual hard disk to the Virtual Machine through 'change settings '.

    Then turn on your VM again

    Once you have your data store to save and launched, you can add it back into your virtual machine.

  • (Find and) removing the virtual copies

    Hello.

    I managed to create virtual copies of 1000 or more photos. This happened (I think) while trying to clean a file in the collection. What I want to do now, so to sort - and isolate? -virtual copies created accidentally. I tried to use Copies of filter/Virtual Library and sorting during editing, but it still seems that it will take time to find those that have been made virtual copies by intention and those who were not. As I also did a lot of editing work before this accident, I would rather not return a previous backup.

    So, to summarize: what is the best way to find only the created virtual copies from say 10:00 this morning?

    Thanks in advance,

    OLE k

    While you can order by order added, I don't see anything to display. I said descending because then the accidental should be the first to that see you.

    I think I may have confused things by saying smart collection / contains / whatever. The only goal was to find all virtual copies, so we could then see those accidental. We cannot do this by file Type, but we can do it by searching for a letter, for example 'o', which we know will be in the copy name field.

    Another approach would have been to go to these collections. Alt Ctrl Shift Delete (PC) or remove Opt Shift Cmd (Mac) is necessary to remove the items from Lightroom - what is necessary because a simple deletion would only remove the item from this collection.

  • How to remove the virtual computer on a data store

    I'm moving VM (by the data store) to my new cluster data store and as I release a DS I have delete and create new with VMFS5.  I just emptied a data store but when I run the following command it shows again two VM on the same DS so when I navigate on the DS it is empty.

    Get-datastore-name "DS_NAME | Get - vm | FT name

    How to see where/how/why these two VMs are on the DS when it seems to be empty, and I'm assuming that PowerCLI is my best result. Of course, I don't want to just delete the DS as possible casue a problem with these virtual machines.  When I look at the settings them of each virtual machine they show that they are on a store of separate data and not that I'm trying to delete.

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    You can do:

    Notice-EEG-Id | Get-VIObjectByVIView

    or:

    Get - VM | Get-Datastore

  • Automatic deletion/removal of the virtual machine to inventory

    Hello

    I need to create a clone of a virtual machine once a month on the storage separate from the original machine. Before that the time has come for the next monthly clone I have to delete the virtual machine but also to remove the inventory. I need to do without leaving the clone deleted in an orphaned State as the next clone turns out to be defective for the double.

    I set up a scheduled task to clone the machine then next month a cron job to run a vmware-cmd - s unsubscribe & lt; path to vmx & gt; followed by an rm - r & lt; path to vm & gt;. It does everything I need except remove the virtual virtual machine inventory.

    Did someone knows a way to remove it completely (as if to make a destroy) or cloning without adding it to the inventory (this is not really a need for us).

    Any help would be great,

    Mick

    With the command: vmware-cmd - s unregister

    You will need to restart the mgmt-vmware and vmware-vpxa service in order for the front end to pick up the change.

    Or you can use VC SDK.

  • How to add the virtual copy to an existing collection

    Hello

    I use LR 5.7.x in Win7 environment.

    I have an existing collection within a collection set. I would like to add a virtual copy of an image to this collection. Is there a way to do this in one step?

    If I select the image and press B, he puts a - not a virtual copy - copy into the target. The only way I see to do this is to first make the virtual copy, copy it to the target collection and finally remove the copy virtual from the original location.

    Best regards

    Scott

    Hi scott_o,

    To add a virtual copy to a collection, you must create a virtual copy. When it is created, set the collection (to which you want to import pictures or virtual copies to) as target collection.

    Once this is done, you must select the image or the virtual copy, then press B to add to the target collection.

    Note: Add collection does not all copies of the image file.

    In addition, if you remove the virtual copy in the catalog, it will be removed from the collection as well.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Move the virtual machine from one host to another with shared storage

    Hello

    I have a question on how to move a virtual machine from one ESX 4 host to a host ESXi 5.  These hosts have access to the same shared storage but the ESX 4 host is outside the network and host ESXi 5 is inside the network so vMotion is not an option.  They are in different groups.  I know that there must be an easy way to move this virtual machine, but for the life of me, I can't find it.  I guess I have remove the virtual machine from the external cluster but how to make the virtual machine in the internal cluster?

    Thanks in advance...

    If both host access to the data store even where VM's store, just stop the virtual machine, remove inventory on ESXi 4, go to ESXi 5 vSphere vSphere, browse the data store where the VM is stored, do a right-click on the .vmx file and add to the inventory.

  • Cannot create .vswp file to Virtual SAN: CPP to DOM returned Out of Memory

    Hey all,.

    In my virtual home existing SAN lab, I meet an interesting problem. When I try to turn some of my virtual machines now use the VSAN, vCenter present with the following error, even if the data store is online and running virtual machine workload. Restart the server vCenter (not on the virtual SAN) has no impact on the problem. I have also noticed I can't reconfigure the virtual machines as well and cannot vMotion; the operation times out. It's all the same problem.

    My next step was going to try to restart the hosts, but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this or if there was a method to establish the first case before nuking the question, since, if it were production would take us actually a failure. All virtual machines running on the vsanDatastore are fine and all the capabilities of storage and tickboxes are green in the web client. I wonder if there may be a memory leak or something else. Uptime for these hosts is 55 days, running on the beta update VSAN. Thank you all!

    I restarted all hosts today and they all started right up. Will do the upgrade code of GA and see if the problem repeats. Thank you all!
