Removing data with .dvsdata file store

I would like to delete a store of data from my ESXi 5.0 environment.  I used Storage vMotion to move all virtual machines to other data warehouses.  If I now navigate in the data store remaining single folder is .dvsdata for my distributed vSwitch.

When that I run net-dvs, it shows still three entries pointing to the data store that I want to remove.  Is it possible to manually move this folder?  Or - is it safe to remove the data store and vCenter will take care of the rest?

Thank you!

  • Attempt to add a new data with a script store

    I have an interview put in place where I remove a store of data once a week and he re-clone of our SAN.  I'm stuck with the script to add to the store of data back.

    I try to get the LUN ID of the new store of data to add.

    What I have so far is:

    I have remove the vSphere data store and delete the SAN volume.

    Then for a list of the currently available SCSI LUN:

    Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba

    Get-ScsiLun | Select CanonicalName | Out-file c:\scripts\Before.txt-largeur 120

    $Before = get-Content c:\scripts\Before.txt

    I have it dumped to a file to make sure, that it was not truncated at all.

    Then, I create the new volume on the SAN and get the new list LUNS:

    Get-VMHostStorage - RescanAllHba

    Get-ScsiLun | Select CanonicalName | Out-file c:\scripts\After.txt-largeur 120

    $After = get-Content c:\scripts\After.txt

    Then to set the variable to the new LUN ID:

    $LunID = compare-object $Before $After

    The problem I have is that the $LunID variable is set to

    @{InputObject = eui.0134d870bf1f182f6c9ce90064ee16c5; {SideIndicator == >}

    Instead of the value eui.0134d870bf1f182f6c9ce90064ee16c5 that I need.

    Is there a way when I set the variable or run the object - compare to select only the part of this line?

    The result should be in $LunID.InputObject.

  • ODI - reverse the data of the file store?

    Hi gurus,

    I'll put up the ODI for plainning application

    I have installation topology and have creatred models.

    Our requirement is to load the Member of Dimension Plannig of flat files.

    So I have to the templates in the designer of... One for the flat file... one for planning.

    I did the opposite of the planing model succesfull, and she filled with all dimensions.

    Now, I want to do the opposite for the file also.

    But when I'm walking back on the model of file it says... cannot reverse the file template, go to the columns in the data source tab and then do the opposite.

    I created a server manulayy Say for accounts Dimension data, went on the colum tab, then did the revere, he succeeded.

    But the problem is that the columns are like c1, c2, c3... so on.

    They do not have to come from the way the data store was filled when I reverence for data store planning.

    If anyone can suggest me a good way to make this event for that datasource is properly filled with the correcct names,


    Also is there a way to fill (reverse) model of file data source... for all files (say 15) and not individulally one by one.


    Suggestions would be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    If your file as header records make it sure in the files tab set heading 1 then when you reverse the columns that it must pick up the column headings

  • Remove data with null value

    Hello

    I'm using Oracle 11 g. I have a table with an id of 3, node, the value column. Combination of the column id and node, that must be taken account for deletion on the registers.

    Here, I need to delete lines with the NULL value in the value column. If for a combination of id and node with non-null values, then I need to delete rows with a null value for this combination.

    If the combination of id, node is not null value then this records should not delete.

    Below table, I need to remove the second row, for which is a value not zero VOICE CAL '10' is there, so I need to delete the row with null values. (VOICE, CAL, NULL)

    Network, FL, there is no value is non-null then I should NOT delete this line.

    This table is to have 100 s of this association, we can delete data in a single delete query?

    Or how I can delete rows with nulls for this combination.

    Thank you

    You can do this in a single DELETE statement (it is not a request), using an EXISTS or IN the subquery.  For example:

    REMOVE table_x m

    WHERE the value IS NULL

    AND THERE ARE)

    SELECT 0

    FROM table_x s

    WHERE s.id = m.id

    AND s.node = m.node

    AND s.value IS NOT NULL

    )

    ;

    If you would care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT instructions for the sample data, and then I could test it.

  • (of) data of the console store?

    Hi all

    I was wondering if there is a command that you can run / script to remove data from the console store? and if it is if it can be done in ESXi as well?

    Hello

    The answer depends on the data store. If it is a store of data NAS (NFS), you can use esxcfg-nas or nas vicfg to achieve your goals. If it's something else then there is no real way to disassemble the data store of in ESX short of dropping the pilot. You have to manage the presentation in your SAN/iSCSI server to do this or zoning in your switches fibre to achieve this purpose.

    Best regards

  • Find the store of data with more free space.

    So I'm trying to build a script to configure the virtual machine.

    I'll have it retrieve the node to keep newly available vm out based on the cluster, I said to use. I'm just using the Random function to do that then I select a node in the cluster.

    Where I have questions, how can I

    find the data store less used, based on a particular data store naming scheme.

    I want to say is:

    Hypathetically, I for example named data warehouses:

    store data-prod-01 200 GB free

    store data-prod-02 500 GB free

    free data-prod-03 10 GB store

    free data-qa-01 200 GB store

    free data-qa-02 1000 GB store

    I want to throw in a piece of code to tell him to watch data warehouses "datastore-prod *" and place the virtual machine on the store of data with the most space. (that's assuming that the vm will agree on the DS and let fresh generals)

    I guess I want to know if it is possible?

    I would also be concerned about scenario that perhaps the vm should I build just will not match on any of my other data store. I guess I need a logic to check if it is still possible.

    This is more than a wish rather than a necessity. I'm thinking if I just read the info, or use a cvs file after running the script. Any recommendations would be greatly appreacted.

    Hello, drivera01-

    You should be able to do this with a very small amount of code.  Download all data warehouses that correspond to the model name, sort free space (in descending order) and select the top one.  As:

    ## get the datastore matching datastore-prod* that has the most freespace$oDatastoreWithMostFree = Get-Datastore datastore-prod* | Sort-Object -Property FreespaceGB -Descending:$true | Select-Object -First 1
    
    ## if the freespace plus a bit of buffer space is greater than the size needed for the new VMif (($oDatastoreWithMostFree.FreespaceGB + 20) -gt $intNewVMDiskSize) {<# do the provisioning to this datastore #>}else {"oh, no -- not enough freespace on datastore '$($oDatastoreWithMostFree.Name)' to provision new VM"}
    

    The second part, where it checks for sufficient freespace on the data store that has the most free, can be updated to behave as you need, but that should be the basis.  How does this look?

  • Move all files with the file hard, in two data warehouses

    You can move these files from the data through VC or WinSCP3 store? You have on the eve of vm? There is that one disc and files are on two separate data stores.

    Please move configuration files to the same data as the vmdk files store to ensure an appropriate server recovery. I ran a backup because it is now, but in this State, I can't assure you that I will be able to recover properly. ProdVMLUN1A3/CO01 (configuration files) ProdVMLUN4A22/CO01 (vmdk files)

    Thank you

    If you're on ESX 3.0, you can do a few things.  We could be to stop the virtual machine in question, and then choose migrate.  In the wizard you will be asked if you want to 'keep' or 'move', choose move.  Another way would be to use VMware Converter

    If you ran 2.5 and ESX 3.5 vCenter, you could do it live with sVmotion.

  • play sounds temporary and file of your choice when reading data with VISA functions?

    Hello.

    I read the function of reading data with VISA and then I use as multiple functions to display data on the graph. everything is OK.

    now, I want to play a sound specified (like a song in my desired folder 3s) signal which cross above the specified value range. then after the desired time, it will wait still new cross above the specified value and this repetition of the procedure until I stop the program.

    Data MCU is from and it does not stop when his game system and what system of incoming data for this part (his play) will ignore them pending that outdated.

    I use this for reading data and part VI mentioned which belongs to her is empty and I don't know what I have to do?

    altougth I use an another while loop for his apartment because I want to save time CPU.

    Thank you.

    I recommend you do the data type of the notifier a cluster that contains a path and a numeric (double).  The path indicates the reader what file to play.  Digital is the duration.

    Now in a way a bit complicated, but really good stop your second loop.  Do not use a second notification.  Instead, send the normal notification but not use a path for the path in the cluster.  Your second loop can write a check for the path of a not and stops when that is received.

  • I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost.

    original title: robocopy

    I'm trying to migrate data from a server to a new one with the file permissions of the files of users and records lost. So far, that's what I did, I used \\server1\share \\server2\share/sec /mir robocopy and robocopy \\server1\share \\serve2\share/e/s /copyall. It seams like they copied all files with the permissions of the user for the files, but not files. For example, if a user makes a folder with the files in the folder appear them have permissions appropriate for them but not the root folder or subfolders, they did... How can I fix this and what is the difference between / s /mir and/e/s /copyall?

    The issue here is not one of which version of Windows you are using.
    It is one of what you have installed applications.
     
    The answer is Yes, if you have WordPerfect (or some compatible)
    program) installed on Windows Vista. The answer is no, if you do not.
